One-Sided Trial

New York, July 13.-Dr. Fl. H. Rusby. head of the New York College of Phar- macy at Columbia university. has writ
 ten a defense of his position in the
 matter to Secretary Wilson pr. Rusby
 asserts that the hearing on which he
 was condemned was one-sided: that so
 far as he was concerned he did not
 care for the employment with the bu-
 reau and that the compensation as ar-
 ranged did not really profit him great : ly as he had to arrange for a substi- tute in his college work and was put
 under expense otherwise.
 Tn his letter to Secretary Wilson commenting upon the pay in the case he says that the allowance of $50 a day as expert was only half of what he would ordinarily receive for such services. He also declared that any re- sponsibility for illegality in his em- ployment must rest with the officials
 who employed him and that charges
 made against him must be withdrawn or the persons making them would suffer the just penalties.
 Dr. Rusby has been head of the New York College of Pharmacy for about ican wilderness from the Atlantic to the Pacific in 1885, traversng parts hitherto unvisted by white men and brought back thousands of new botan- ical specimens. Dr. Rusby is a member in a long list of scientific societies and the author of
 books on pharmacy, materia medica and botany.

Wiley. ebi.fof of ohan,is,n, of the departms ,riculture, has been condemned by d ..lmittee on per. sonnel of the department of agriculture with recommendation of the President that he be permitted to resign"
 It is charged pr. Wiley permitted ar arrangement to be made with D. H. H Rusby, pharmacognosist of Columbia university, for compensation in excess of that allowed by law.
 Attorney General Wickersham recom- mended approval of the committee, action in an opinion submitted to the President.
 It is claimed the arrangement was to put Dr. Rusby on the payroll of the department at $500 a year as an em ploye of the bureau of chemistry, an agreement being made with him, that he should be called upon to perform only such service as this salary would compensate for and he was to get se0 per day for laboratory investigations and $50 per day for attendance In court
 Attorney General Wickersham held that the law permitted the payment of only s9 day, this sum later being Increased to s1f day.

Kobler, chief of the divi sion of drugs, of the department of az riculture. The committee further recom mends that Dr. W. c. Bigelow, assistani chief of the bureau of chemistry, also be given an opportunity to resign. 7
 President Taft has not indicated whai action he will take on the case. The matter has become public only now although the investigation was begun last March. Attorney General Wick ersham's recommendation in the case bears date of May IS.
 Regarded Highly By Taft
 President Taft has forwarded all the papers in the case to pr. Wiley and will take no action until he receives a per has a high regard for him for his ad- ministration of the bureau of chemistry and before acting on the case, will grant a hearing to all involved.
 Dr. Wiley has been attacked almost constantly since the pure food law went into effect It has been claimed his rulings have been unduly harsh and un- just. He has regarded pr. Ruby as one of his most valuable assistants.
 Dr. Rusby charges there was a one sided presentation of the case to the at torney general He also says he had no means of knowing the arrangement made writ h; irroQnIQr
 Department officials were reluctant to discuss the case today.
 Dr. Wiley has not resigned, and so far there has been no request for his resigna- tion. His friends predict there will be a great wave of protest against his pro- posed dismissal.
 T wouldn't advise any one to wait around my office to see me put. out, said Dr. Wiley. Do I look frightened about this matter? All 1 know is that a copy of the charges was served on me about a week ago. and l will make reply to them, through Secretary Wilson to the president. Until the latter sees fit to make that statement public, l have noth- ing to say in the matter.

The Woman Suffrage Convention

We can recall no political or eco
romic question upon which there has
been SO radical change of public
sentiment within so short a time as
there has been on woman suffrage
within the last few years. This is
particularly notable, inasmuch as the
agitation for votes for women, so far
from being OF recent origin, is well
along in the third quarter of its cen
fury.
1t Is easy TO understand how an en-
iirely new question coming up might
be viewed with suspicion for a short
time because OF general misunder-
standing OF its significance, and then,
as Intelligence on the subject be-
tame more general. how the public
would change its antagonlsm to sym

The Most Promising Candidate

Hence II is fair conclusion that.
looking at the matter purely as one
OF political strategy, Governor Wilson
appears 10 be the most promising
candidate for the democracy, both
east and west.
II Is not necessary TO dwell upon
the other reasons which would make
his candidacy one which could be con-
templated with so much satisfaction
and hope. Woodrow Wilson is Of the
very type OF the highly trained ann
sinewy man whom we have so long
desired TO see take leading part in
cur political life. He is a campaigner
Of extraordinary power. His speech
es are OF the kind that hold attention
not merely by their form but by the
thought and conviction which glow
behind them. He would lend distinc-
ton to any cause which he advocated.
and would carry with him into any
Office the qualities of a true man

there has been no such set OF cir

movement belonged TO the age of
abraham Lincoln rather than that OF
Theodore Roosevelt.
Fine. sturdy figures some of them
were, giants Of intellect in an age that
condemned women to intellectual
servitude. They have passed, and
the first generation OF their disciples
has grown old In the service and has
cen displaced by younger and
more vehement corps of fighters.
But through all the years, up TO a

A Benefactlon Too Long Delayed

them his competitors-was a compli-
ment without precedent But aside
from the unique nature OF tribute TO
the career of half century of Amer
ica's most noted merchant, ii was the
occasion of several highly significant
Incidents. One was the enthusiastic
approval of the guests plea for an
adequate. modern parcels post sys-
tenn Another was the dead silence
that greeted mention of the name OF
Ihe president. who, in the third year
OF his term, with a divided and dis
gusted congress on mis- hands, has
announced that he proposes TO make
a real instead of a mock parcels post
a part OF his administration program
II was no new thing for Mr.. Wanna
maker. In the ripeness of experience,

putable truths we must start for

perimenting with the things that have
