The Wiley Report.

The report of the House committee on
the matter of DIR. Wiley's employment of
DR.. Rusty pure food expert follows
the line of general belief, and fortunately
covers a broad ground of comment on
conditions in the Department of Agrieul-
ture to afford the basis for establishments
to insure a more satisfactory enforce
ment of the law. Contrary to public
expectation. the committee engages i'm no
severe criticisms. although Ii declares
that the administration OF the pure food
law has not been satisfactory and that
the referee board should not be continued
as at present. the creature of an execu-
tive order only.
The country demands that the statutes
enacted for its protection from food and
drug frauds shall be applied strictly and
justly. TO prevent the mulcting or the
poisoning of consumers. II has no pa

the Department of Agriculture, and il

monious and rational application of the
regulations regardless of personalities or

removal from office was sought by those

As matters stand today. Is not the case
upon general lines clear? Is il anything
but q misadventure on the part of the
men who introduced Gov. Wilson into the
field Of politics?
At that time Col. Harvey held the same

that he holds today. At that time Mr..

And the "schoolmaster' at that time war

Col. Harvey and Mr.. Smith fell in behind
their leader. and started as they thought,
for the promised land.
But the leader took the wrong road. He
changed his colors and his company. and
became more popular with the Egyptians
than he had been with his own people. He
passed, almost between suns, from a
Clevelandite TO a Bryanite. and executed
the change so completely he aroused the
admiration of even Mr.. Bryan himself.
Did not Col. Harvey's position become
untenabe from that day? Was not his
withdrawal from the Wilson column de-
manded by his own as well as Gov. Will
sons interests? And the same is true of
MIR. Smith. He co,.ld not logically have

Every Man an Editor.
From the Chicago Journal.

FROM 'b'aSo JpuiHai-
A Baltimore genius has started a
league" the purpose Of which Is 81
ridiculous as to be worthy of notice
At the same time ii is an illustration
OF the willingness and readiness of
legions of men and women with no
newspaper experience to offer advice
and contributions to. editors. This
Baltimore league" is designed ito
furnish letters to the peoples column
of the public press upon timely topics.
Everybody wishing to secure spread of
his ideas by aid of printers ink is in
yited to send those ideas to the
league" The manager undertakes to
edit the communications and to secure
their publication in newspapers all
over the country. AS the chief con
Germ of the experienced editor is to
decide what may be left out OF his
columns rather than to secure miscel-
laneous additional copy. these COM
munications will find speedy and peace
full resting place in editorial waste

try, through the medium of this Balti-

My Uncle Jim, he ought TO be
A President at least.

And il he can't be President
A thought which brings regret
His mental greatness should be lent
Unto the cabinet.
a senator he might he made
Or representative
Or governor. We amt afraid
But what his fame would live,
Pervided that it's nothin' small
That he is asked to do.
He run fur county clerk last fall,
But votes fur him was few.
1t showed his modesty extreme
To enter such a race.
Admirin' friends would never dream
OF givin' him a place
Save one where every word he spoke
Would make the nation throb.
An that's why Uncle Jim is broke
An hasn't any job.

Stumping for the Presidency.

Stunning is the fashion. Gov. "iiSot'

and now is the time for him 10 strike.

ira session. pair is all he needs TO
provide for any vote that may be taken
i'm his absence on any feature of any
schedule, and a pair is always easily ar
ranged.
Mr. Cummins. who has just announced
for President. may also find 1t advisable
to take a look or two around in the next
few months. His friends think his own
state safe without a further word from
him. but his interests elsewhere may re-
quire his personal attention.
Mr.. Taft is meeting the wishes of his
friends i'm his short trips out of town
and certainly they are made without neg
lect Of his official duties. He keeps his
business table in order. and gives abun-
dant time to public men for conference
purposes.
Gov. Harmon is looking in on his fell
low-citizens in number of states, and
giving and receiving words of cheer. For
a man who was long on the bench and
longer at the bar. he takes to politics
almost as readily as a duck to water.
Mr.. Bryan is always on the stump.
Tied to no office. responsible to no con-
stituency. he goes when and where he
pleases. stays as long as he pleases, and
says what ne pieases. 1t Is the great.
good fortune of the star stumper to be
able to indulge himself to his heart s
delight
Speaker Clark and Mr.. Underwood are
tethered-at any rate for while Until
the House gets into its stride they must
remain at hand and guide il. But the
situation may ease up about April and
they be able to make a few speeches
away from Washington. 1t is unneees-
sary to say that either man would be
received anywhere with the most sincere
respect and interest.
Criticism Of this is offered here and
there 1t is not, we are told, the old
way. True, but what is being conducted
nowadays in the old way? The times
are not only new, but lively, and new
times, new ways. The presidency is the
greatest of our prizes. but today is be-
ing sought as much humber places are.
Fashion makes the candidates go.

All Roses.

There is something pathetic in the sit
uation that has developed in the city
flower voting that has been undertaken
i'm the public schools. \ postponement of
the vote has been necessary because it
has been found that there was an over
whelming preponderance of opinion ia
voring the rose. Highly creditable
though this may have seemed to the
taste of the little folks, in point of fact
it merely reflected a lack of knowledge
on the part of the young voters. Not
only did they think only of the rose in
other forms of flower life for the rose.
In short every flower was to them a
| rose. the generic name for the whole
| world of beautiful garden products.
Nothing could more clearly justify the
efforts that have been made during the
past few years to teach gardening to
the school children of Washington. Miss
Sipes work in this connection has been
attended by difficulties. chiefly due to
the lack of funds, but as far as it has
gone it has produced most satisfactory
results. Yet every year many hundreds
of new children come to the schools
some of them with no more knowledge
of flower life than that gained by rare
visits to the parks. with long-range views
of carefully tended beds. They have not
been taken into close communion with the
plants. No hand has led them to the
blooms themselves. and no kindly voice
has explained the differences or set
forth the exquisite variations. All flow
ers have remained roses" A beautiful
limitation in one sense but how restrict
i've and forbidding of the real pleasure of
plant acquaintance!
This contest was undertaken largely
for its educational value, and the diff
Guilty experienced at the outset proves its
need. If through this voting process the
children are taught that all flowers are
not roses and that there are many
blooms quite as beautiful and much more
easily produced, Washington will be
benefited. Every year this process should
continue, with the work carried into the
kindergartens. until every child of six
years and over is familiar with the flow
ers that grow in Washington and is a
little gardener at heart, even though the
space necessary for real horticulture is
denied.

SENSATIONAL HOLDUP
NEAR COLUMBIA FALLS

On Wednesday night as DR.. ia.
Lamb was leaving Columbia Falls in
his automobile with three other men
he ran up against something that for
a moment looked dubious. At the
edge of the town, running along at
moderate speed, he was suddenly
confronted by three masked men who
had jumped from the shadow by the
roadside into the middle OF the road
and from their gestures they were
pointing guns at the driver, who in
stantly put on all the speed he had
and covered the fellows with dust.
DR.. Lamb aud others think that per-
haps the men were pals of Riley
who shot and killed Frank Murphy
in a brawl at Columbia Falls that
day. 1t was supposed that Riley
would be taken to the county Jail
by the sheriff in an automobile and
perhaps the hold up men had
planned to rescue him.
Other stories concerning the affair
are afloat. but without q doubt tileA9
men were a bad lot and DIR. Lamb
was fortunate in getting off so easy.
