A Time to Stop Persecution.

Birmingham (Ala} News: For
nearly two years the great United
States government has been waging a
war on big industry born In the
south, located mainly in the south
and attaining one of the greatest sue
cesses in the south. This is the Coca
Cola Co.. of Atlanta, with branches
all over the south.
The fight On this concern has been
carried on by the government through
its pure food bureau, Of which DR.. H.
w. Wiley is chief The case was
hung up for nearly two years by the
government, and the Atlanta company
appears to have had considerable
trouble in getting the government to
take up the case and push 1t to CON
clusion. In the meantime this i'm.
portant southern industry has been
suffering in its business because of
the sword hung over It's head
The case was finally brought to trial
in Chattanooga, and the hearing has
been going On for over three weeks.
The Associated Press has carried full
stories on It's southern wires particu-
larly. of this hearing. because south
ern industry was involved, and thous-
ands OF dealers and consumers we're
specially interested in the details of
the evidence.
The hearing Is now practically at
an end, and the News has no hesita-
ton In saying that the government
has made out very poor case. The
bulk OF the dozens of expert Wit
nesses, physicians and chemists of ma.
tional reputation, both for the govern.
ment and in rebsttal for the Coca
| Cola Co, have virtually testified to
one thing and to one only, that the
only drug or principle of any import
ance in the popular drink is caffeine
which is the essential alkaloid in cot
! fee, tea. cocoa, etc. The experts have
shown little difference over the
amount Of caffeine in Coca Cola
their only divergence has been as te
the effect Of the continuous use Of Z
drink containing caffeine and as to the
j number of grains OF the alkaloidal
principle which can be taken into the

EARTH Is ENOUGH.

EARTH Is ENOUGH.
We men of Earth have here the stuff
OF Paradise-we have enough!
We need no other things to build
The stairs into the Unfulfilled-
No other ivory for the doors
No other marble for the floors
No other cedar for the beam
And dome OF mans immortal dream
Here on the paths of everyday
Here on the common human way
Is all the stuff the gods would take
To build a Heaven, to mold and make
New Edens. Ours the stuff sublime
TO build Eternity in time!

NOTES AND COMMENT.

The Burlington Gazette gives notice
that 1t will continue to believe that
there is some good in LATE Young I'M
til he mounts the Chautauqua ros-
trum.
Ambassador Uchida denies that the
Military Department of Japan is buy
Ing Missouri mules, but the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat suggests that it might
be doing a great deal worse.
If Senator Kenyon can follow the
pattern set by Senator Young he will
do well, says the Fairfield Ledger.
The records OF the United States
senate may be searched in vain for
man who made more name and
fame in short term of service than
Senator Young, of Iowa.
I'VE hope to live TO see the day,
says the Manchester Press, when
there will be no more factions in
Iowa-no more prescription, man
handling or backbiting. 1t will be a
joy to sit once more in a Republi-
can state convention in which the
factional gulf is conspicuous for its
absence"

It's a poor rule that won't work

seven hours in the twenty-four. The
