POLISHED RICE.
A suit has just been filed in
Washington in behalf of the De-
partment of Agriculture by Dis
trict Attorney Wilson intended
to determine whether polished
rice is adulterated in violation of
the pure food law. The depart
ment has begun a campaign to
obtain pure rice and for the pre-
vention of the sale ofsrice treated
with tale and glucose, which
gives it a fine, highly polished
appearance.
The suit filed may become a
test case if the manufacturers
decide to fight it out, said AS
sistant United States District At
torney Peele, in charge of pure
food prosecutions.
Libel of twenty-five sacks of
rice, containing $500 pounds of
the polished foodstuff, is made in
the test case. This rice was
grown and polished in Louisiana,
being brought to Washington by
brokers. Chief Justice Clabaugh
granted an order to take samples
of the rice for analysis by chem
lists of the Department Of Agri-
culture, setting the case for hear
ing May Is. If the rice is found
to be adulterated, as alleged in
the suit, it's condemnation will be
asked, squarely raising the issue
between the manufacturers and
the government. The glucose
treatment is said to affect only
the appearance of the rice, max
ing it more easily salable, but the
tale polisher is said by the gov
ernment's experts to work SER
ious injury.

A dispatch from Wasll,A.

A dispatch from Washing
says:
Congress may be obliged tc
pass upon the race question, as ii
involves intermarriages in the
district and the right of coIored
persons to be accommodated in
the House restaurant. The Dis
trict of Columbia committee is
expected to make favorable re-
port upon the Hardwick bill pro-
hibiting the intermarriage of the
white and colored races in the
district, and apply likewise to
the intermarriage of Monaghan
and other races. The district
committee will order a favorable
report on the bill on the ground
that the question ought to be
threshed out by the House.
Representative Roddenbery, of
Georgia, will also put another
race question up to the House,
if his present plans are carried
out. MI. Roddenbery is chair
man of the subcommittee that
will remodel the House restau-
rant, which work is to be done
under the direction of the COM
mittee on public buildings and
grounds. When the committee
comes to make it's recommends
tions as to remodeling the restau-
rant, Mr.. Roddenbery proposes
that it shall include a recommen-
dalton that the restaurant is ex-
clusively for the use of white
persons. Colored persons have
patronized the restaurant coca
sionally in the past, using that
portion set aside for. the public,
but never trespassing upon the
dining-rooms Of the members
themselves. The Roddenbery
plan, however. c~ontemplates that
no colored person may use any
part of the restaurant. If the
two propositions advanced by
Southern members finally come
before the House, it is believed

and the reply of the States to
the same:
Mr.. DUPRE'S LETTER.
Opelousas, La, April 20, 1911.
Editor Of The Daily States:
My attention has just been
called to the editorial in your
paper of the 18th inst, headed
"A Sample Attack on the Ad-
ministration'' in which you en-
deavor to place me in a humiliat-
ing attitude with a view to de-
tract from any further communi-
cation which might emanate
from me
Nc organ which stands for the
indefensible policies, measures
and statutes, created and being
enforced by the present state
administration, edited and own
ed by one of the sixteen ward
bosses Of the City of New Or
leans, can have this effect. It
can never bulldoze, broWbeat,
nor intimidate me. It's attempt
to make a mountain out of a mole
hill and in this way defend the
Game Commission, is going to
prove stale, fiat and Improbable.
Without being aware of it, you
have honored me overmuch.
You have afforded me, and will
afford me, the opportunity to
assail, attack and ridicule out of
existence this legalized graft,
known as the Game Commission.
And | am going to do so in sea-
son and out of season, Republi-
can though | once have been.
/ have never apoligized for
this fact, never will, I was in
most excellent company when
the Lily Whites were endeavor-
ing to organize a Republican
party In this state. It was much
better than such as begets cleo
ton frauds and breeds ballot box
such as exist in New
Orleans-the product of the sys-
tenn we mean to destroy.

cratic ticket since 1903. | am

its legislature, and I am going to
do this even if in so doing / in
cur The States displeasure and
the pie-eating brigade, the bene-
fciaries of such legalized graft
as is permissible under the Game
Commission.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | do not
need a certificate of veracity at
your hands. / could imagine
nothing of more humiliating a
nature than such. It would de-
tract from my ability to draw a
crowd. This I can now do.
Overweighted with a character
certificate from a New Orleans
ward boss would drive away the
the audiences whom I now en-
terrain.
Nothing that | wrote with a
view to expose the iniquity of
the game Wardens merits con-
demnation. It might have been
better to locate the incident re-
lated to me land dictated to my
stenographer) in st. Landry,
rather than elsewhere. This
was done to save our game
warden, a personal friend of
mine, whom I would as soon see
obtain eighty-three dollars and
thirty-three and one-third cents
salary per month as any other
member Of the administration
faction in this parish. And |
would not have informed against
him. The editor of the Com
moner stated to me that If I de
clined to give my authority, he
would send the gentleman seek
ing the desired information to
that place where itnever freezes.
When, however, | interviewed
my informer and ascertained for
the first time this was a joke, /
felt it was my duty to make this
statement. | did So upon the
theory that a manly apology
atones for much error.
In conclusion, | desire to re-
iterate what I stated in the be-

space elsewhere for a letter from
the Hon. Gilbert L. Dupre. Of
st. Landry, self-appointed execu
toner OF the Game Commission,
whom the Hon. L. j. Dossmann,
felloW-parishioner, recently
smoked out as the purveyor Of
what shall hereafter be known
in the history Of Louisiana poll
tics as the Dupre Hoax.
If Mr.. Dupre feels that his let
ter betters his case there is no
reason why we should deny him
the pleasure of its publication
merely because we are inclined
to believe its only effect is to en-
nance his reputation as an enter
tanning and picturesque roman
Ger.
Having acknowledged the pa
ternity of a story which he sub
sequently characterized al an
founded in truth and in fact. and
therefore apoligized for, it is not
surprising to find him now cry
ing peccavi to MI. Dossmann's
impeachment of that portion Of
his letter which made New Or
leans the situs of an incident
that never was.
Mr.. Dupre declares that The
States can never bulldoze, brow
beat nor intimidate him into
silence during the coming cam
paign. It has not the slightest
intention of trying to do SO. 1t
wouldn't if it could. If we had
felt that exposure of the hoax
might have had that effect not
even the newspaperman' i delight
over a corking frst-page story
would have tempted us to print
a syllable of the Hon. T.. j. Doss-
mann's serial story Of The Elk
plosion of a Fake"
Mr.. Dupre's effacement would
be a near-catastrophe. It would
not by even a feathers weight
affect the result; but it would re-
move perhaps the most interest
ing side-show we shall have; and
far be it from us to do aueht
which will intensity the pictur-
esqueness of the campaign.
We hope our quondam friend
VIII continue to be in as great
demand as a speaker as with
characteristic modesty he now
declares himself to be. It is 4
big task he has undertaken to
assail, attack and riddle out of
existence this legalized graft
known as the Game Commission. "
He will probably find the COM
mission a hard and resourceful
fighter, strongly intrenched in
some fifty-nine parishes Of the
state, and nowhere more SO than
in St. Landry, and if he succeeds
in rendering hors du combat the
high dignitary who halls from
his own bailiWick and who has
landed on top Of him In the first
we shall wish him
well as he goes crusading
the rest of the state.
Meantime, however, We ven.
ture to demur to his Indictment
Of The States as the particular
and champion Of the COM
1t Is not. The States
In game preservation as
It believes in the conservation Of
all the states natural resources;
but it holds no brief to defend
the commission against all the
acts of omission and commission
which may be charged against it,
md nothing in its record as an
honorable newspaper justifes the
animation that It viii stand for
legalized or otherwise.
Ind in no ease does # need
essons In what constitutes good
aorafs, political or otherwise,
