one of the members of the staff
of the Ardmoreite met Colonel Null
len and requested that he give his
views on the topics of the day, and
this is part of what he had to say
being an Old resident and tax
payer of the city and state, We are
only too glad to have his ideas.
First The public demands that
we have a rest from political tur-
moi and strife, which in the alb
stract means. not so many political
contests and elections.
Second. Thai the people be not
burdened with the expense in keep
ing up so many orIcers.
Third. Tha, the Laws now upon
the statute books should be So
changed. modified or abolished, and
new and better laws enacted that
will more enectually safeguard the
business interests of the country.
Fourth That all laws nimicable
TO capitalists. investors, or in the
construction and operation of rail
roads, he altered. modified or abro-
gated. and wholesome laws enact
ed that will encourage capitalists
aud investors, and especially in raj.
road building and kindred enter
prises.
Fifth 1t canno. be emphasized
too strongly that economy be adopt

DISTURBING TIE DEPARTMENT OF aGRI-
CULTURE

They are after the men in the Department
of Agriculture who have stood between the
people of the country and the purveyors of dan
gerous drugs and foodstuffs. 1t appears that
the matter originated with charges by DR..
NJ r Dunlop, OF the same department with DIR.
Wiley. but they are legion, who through the
desire TO traffic in impurities and authorizations
and frauds would delight in the official decapi-
tation of some of the active and vigilant heads
Of divisions in the department of Agriculture.
\ committee on the personnel of the Depart
ment has recommended that DR. Harvey W.
Wiley. chief Of the Bureau of Chemistry, be al
lowed to resign; that Dr II, II Rusty, of Co
lumbia University, valuable aid TO DR.. Wiley
in certain laboratory work and court testimony,
be dismissed that Dr. F. L. Keller, chief OF
the Division of Drugs, be reduced in rank and
that DR. W W. Bigelow, assistant chief of the
Bureau Of Chemistry, also he allowed to resign.
The whole move grows out of a technical vio-
laiion OF tho law by Or. Wiley DR., Rusty, the
nations foremost expert in food authorizations.
and the right-hand OF the department In its war
fare against such authorizations. was given a
salary greater than the Jaw allowed but, at
that far below what he usually earned by his
work. Dr. Dunlop, who has consistently antag-
onized DR.. Wiley. made the move, and the COM
mittee rendered its verdict. Attorney General
! Wickersham, erstwhle defender of trusts and
I faithful friend Of Ballnger approves the find
ings of the committee, and informs the Presi-
dent that the offense merits "condgn punish
ment"

CURRENTCOMMENT
The SmalIness of heYhurn.

II seems that Senator Hepburn. of Idaho. Is
q small in more respect than We
all know that in his attitude toward the South
and Southern people he exhibits narrowness
that is not in harmony with the spirit Of the
times, especially so far as men who have reached
positions of emlnence are concerned. But that
he is little in other ways is "A fact which tho
public may suspect but with which 1t may not
be familiar. Frank E. Lord. writing in the
National Monthly. gives further insight into
the character of the man that is not reassur-

some redeeming quality In his makeup. Having

that provision got into Of the supply bills
would deprive that seat of learning OF this
