CLARIFYING THE ATMOSPHERE
AT WASHINGTON.

There has been a decided clarifying
ot the atmosphere in Washington so
far as the Pure Food and Drug Board
is concerned. The retirement of Solic>
tor McCabc, whose chief forte seems
to have ben to checkmate every effort
put forth to protect the public from
impure food and drug supplies, and
whose conduct subjected him to at
least grave suspicion, indicates that
the administration is alive to the fact
that the public at large looked with
intense distrust on the conduct of the
controlling element in this important
board and was quite prepared to be-
lieve that there were improper motives
and improper influences at work some
where.
DR.. Wiley throughout this entire
trouble has maintained sane level in
his utterances and conduct and has in
creased the esteem in which he is held
W Iub puDlIC SGuCI dIly. II may UG
true that at times in the past he has
been somewhat drastic in his methods,
but in dealing with men so unprincipl-
ed that they are willing to poison and
injure the health of the people to put
money in their purses much can be
forgiven. the official who has to meet
and defeat them in their iniquitous
methods.
Gradually the character of the food
and drugs supplied the nation is being
made what it should be- Much is due
to DR. Wiley's efforts in that direction.
He is unquestionably the right man in
the right place. Even if his zeal should
at times lead him to extreme rigidity in
enforcing the law much may be forgiV-
en- him for what he has accomplished.
He has bad gang of rascals to deal
with and the continued support of
public opinion is necessary to make
his efforts as effective hereafter as N
the past.

boy SCOUTS WILL LEAVE
EARLIER FOR THEIR TRIP
Schedule of ADdGPSORViIIG
Trip Changed

On account of the fact that there was
la misrepresentation on the part of Sec
rotary Dunn, OF. the Y. NJ c. A, con-
corning the schedule of the trains to be
used, the time for the trip to be made
by the local Boy Scouts to Anderson
vile Saturday afternoon has been
changed. Instead of leaving Ameri-
Gus at 3 o'clock, as was announced,
the boys will go to Andersonville Or
the 1:45 northbound train. returning
that evening on the train that arrives
here at o'clock.
1t was first planned to leave on a
cross-country jaunt at o'clock in
the afternoon, but this time was nam
ed while Secretary Dunn was under
the impression that the night train
from AndersOnville arrived here at
10 o'clock, as formerly. AS the train
arrives here at o'clock, it would
barely leave time for the walk to be
made to Andersonville before it would
be necessary to return. Consequently
the schedule was revised so as to meet
the needs of conditions.
While the cross-country feature
would be pleasant one if taken early
in the day, the intense heat experience
ed of late was another factro in caus-
ing the change of the plans. Under
the new arrangement the trip, both
going and return, will be made or
the train, so that sufficient time will
| be left for the boys to enjoy a tramp
over the National Park and Gene,
| terry when they are not exhausted
from long cross-country walk. This
trip should prove a most delightful
one for every boy who attends. Each
boy should come with car fare, both
ways, however. sy

The Wide World stands a-wclcoming

The silver armor glittered bright upon

When each fair distant tHning held

And all the world was but an inn, and

No knock was there or Misery nor step
Of grimy Toll,
But bold Adventure raised the latch
his palfry heaped with spoil
While Romance flew to hold his rein
and wait on his behest
When all the world was but an inn, and

And what care | that youth must fade,
and love locks turn to gray?
Forsooth, at every inn there lies some
reckoning to pay!
I've warmed my heart beside their fire,
partaken of their best.
When all the world was but an inn,

So why should | complain and curse in

Because another draws his rein, my

But ere Old Age the taper takes to
light me to my rest,
II draw his chair and drink his health,
