Gov. McGovern has reappointed j..
@. Emery as Pure Food Commissioner.
Mr.. Emery's aggressive and persistent
war against authorizations, impurities
and frauds in articles of food made a
host of enemies among merchants and
manufacturers who were long on fin
ance and short on conscience Deal
ers who after fair warning persisted in
selling favored glucose for "Pure Ma
pie Syrup" and highly spiced pork
scraps for "Potted Chicken were re-
lentlessly prosecuted. Not realizing
the disgrace of being a ''knocker, ;"
Commissioner Emery went after big
business men just as if they were Or
binary men. Disguised with an official
who would not quietly draw his salary
and leave business to be run by those
who understood the game, individuals
and organizations of dealers presented
to the governor petitions asking for
Mr.. Emery's official scalp, but in vain.
The war is now over, the bogus food
men are thoroughly whipped, and they
may as we'll adopt the practice of put
ting truthful labels on their goods.

means Of personally knowing how well

President Taft has appointed John
Hays Hammond, millionaire and anna
teur politician of the variety that
bases political campaigns on money,
to represent the United States at the
coming coronation of King George, Of
Great Britain. While the propriety Of
sending special representative of a
republic to attend the coronation of a
monarch seems very questionable, it
would seem that such representative
should be somewhat typical Amer
lean, one who would represent the
ideals of democracy Mere money,
social success and a certain measure of
success in distributing money in politics
are qualities that make mighty poor
advertisement for republic.

There appears to be strong senti-
ment in the legislature in favor of the
Harper bill, abolishing the taxation of
credits. The taxation of credits is
more of farce than the taxation of
tangible personal property, and neither
is either equitable or practical. Some
thing might be said in favor of taxing
credits if such taxation were possible,
but it ism Assessors have no means of
determining what amount of notes, &C
counts and other credits a man owns
except the mans word for it, and
practice shows that even an ordinarily
truthful man will lie about this mat
ter, The tax is so generally consider
ed unjust that custom has impressed
on most minds the almost religious
duty of differentiation. A man may
not exactly forgive his debtors, but he
customarjly forgets them when the
assessor comes round. 1t being i'm
possible to fairly assess the tax, it
should be wiped out. Little would be
lost by so doing, as the amount of
credits assessed is insignificant.

EDITOR NEWS BUDGET:

EDITOR NEWS-BUDGET:
| wonder if those saloon-keepers who
are SO anxious to have people under
stand that the man who used the gun
the other night was insane and has
been for long time and they knew it,
can say why they let an insane man
have liquor. Do they realize that in
their over-zealous efforts to make it
clear that this drunkard was insane,
they may bring out the part liquor had
to do with making him insane. Not
only that, but the part it had in his
other troubles, and in making other
men insane and in breaking up other
mems families.
And then the cost! He is scarcely a
middle-aged man. If he is not let out
of the asylum, we will have more to
pay for his care than we have got from
all the licenses of all the saloons. (Of
course we let the county pay it and
thus saddle part of the cost on to the
farmers who cannot vote on whether
we shall license the places that sell
Insanity If the man is cured and let
out while we have saloons, he will be
just as dangerous, for he did not form
the habit this spring. He is known
here to have had it twenty years ago.
He will "seek it yet again"
All this makes me think that the
councilmen might have been more care
full last summer in granting licenses.
When you, Mr.. Editor, sent to the
present councilmen a statement that
certain applicants for license had dis
obeyed the law, and not one of those
men who had sworn to do the duty of
their office dared to send for you to
come as witness in the case, they
showed by thus neglecting to seek evil
dence that the saloon-keepers are a
privileged class of law-breakers with
whom they would not interfere. Now
these aldermen are trying to make the
people believe that they ought to be
reelected because there is lighting
franchise to be granted. What have
these men done to show that they will
give the people justice?
Let us have council that will not
grant licenses to saloon-keepers who
sell liquor to men they know are in
sane. A TEMPERANCE ADVOCATE.

any good argument against it? There
