Their decisions have no legal or
binding effect upon anybody. The Sec
rotary can follow or ignore their recon-
mendations as he sees fit. Their pro-
vince and duty. as defined in the order
creating the board. Is to investigate
such scientific questions as may be sub
mitted to them by the Secretary and re-
port to him their findings and opinions,
and in practice they have Investigated
these several questions independently of
any action Of the Bureau Of Chemistry
and reported the results of their investi
cations. with their opinions. directly to
the secretary. They are merely the per-
sonal advisers Of the Secretary on the
scientific questions submitted to them
for determination.
1.-The honorable Secretary of Agricu-
ture seems to have regarded the find
ings OF this board as conclusive in all
cases over the opinions and findings of
the Board of Chemistry. the tribunal
which, by express terms of statute, Is
vested with authority to determine the
questions Of aduteratiOn and misbrand-
ing within the meaning of the act. In
the practice of the department the Blu
reau Of Chemistry has been restrained
from examining any specimens of food
which is submitted to the Referee Board
during the time of the examination OF
such question by such board; aud if
such general subject Is submitted to the
Referee Board before the Bureau of
Chemistry has made any examination Of
specimens to determine the question of
adulteration or misbranding, then the
bureau is not permitted by the Secre-
tary to make any such examination I'M
til the board shall have made it's report
1T has resulted in another remark
able situation, viz, that under the prac-
tice Of the department the decisions of
the Bureau of Chemistry, If in opposi-
ton to the findings and opinions of the
referee board, can not be referred to the
courts and thus permit judicial de-
cision to be made. as is comprehended
Under the plain provision of the law.
1t would thus happen that IL the Bureau
of Chemistry were right and the ref
cree board were in error that violations
Of the law would receive protection
through the supposed enforcement of
the law; because the effect of such a
policy is to give this advisory board,
created by Executive order, paramount
authority over the Bureau of Chemistry
and lodges in the personal advisers OF
the Secretary the power to annul the
decisions of the bureau within the De-
partment Of Agriculture. which was Gre

cpUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
FRANK GLAsKER

The Free Press believes the repubii-
can voters of South Dakota made. nc
mistake when they nominated Frank
Glasner of Tyndall for secretary OF
state in the June primaries, and it be-
lieves the voters of the state will max e
no mistake in electing him to that office
on November 5. Mr.. Glasner has lived
in South Dakota practically all his life.
His family were pioneers IN the south.
ern part.of the state. He has grown
up with the state, is acquainted with
ito resources, familiar with its growth
and has deep knowledge of its future
prospects and possibilities.
Asa newspaper man he has always
supported the best interests of the
state, and as member of the South
Dakota legislature, in the session of
1911, he did effective work in support
Of the counties in the western part of
state, looking after interest with de-
gree Of su ccess extremely gratifying
not only to the people Of that section
Of the state itself, but to residents Of
northern South Dakota generally, all Of
whom are vitality interested in the de-
velopment of the western counties.
His wide acquaintance with every
section of the state: his experience as
. legislator. and his widely known
hustling Abilities, all make Frank
Glasner an ideal candidate for the
place he seeks, and he should receive
the support ofsevery South Dakotan
interestedsi in the progress and pros
perity Of the state.

THE BULL MOOSE FAKE

The Deadwood Telegram. and other
publishers of Jack-leg bull moose
papers, are charging that Edwin S.
johnson did not deal fairly in the
matter of the transfer of stock which
he held in the Northwestern State
Bank, at Newell. The facts are that
after the cashier snicided. Mr.. John
son and John l.. Jones, then state
bank examiner, went to Newell, and
after a thorough investigation, Mr..
johnson then made good the shortage
of the cashier. by payment of such
sum in cash, and the financial condi-
ton of the bank was, at that time ap
proved by Mr.. Jones, as state bank
examiner. The report made by Mr..
Jones is on file in the office of the
State auditor in Pierre. The bull
moose bosses would make desolate
every home in South Dakota, if that
act would elect Frank M. Byrne to
the governorship.

The decision of Judge Hand Of IL
linois that labor unions are within
their right in ordering strikes on ac-
count of non. union labor being en-
ployed by firm, and the right of men
to strike under such circumstances,
will have far-reaching effect. May
it hasten the day when such cumber-
some and brutal methods as strikes
and lockouts may give way to saner.
fairer and more amicable way OF set
thing disputes. There is great need
for greater application of the gold
en- rule in labor and capital problems
and for that matter in every walk of
life, and it is coming. Already it has
been invoked time again with excel
lent results, AMI when that good time
comes when men of all classes shall
regard one another as brothers and
friends and not as enemies and rivals
it will be found that the chief agency
in securing it was that law of broth
erly love.

TWO D1sFRANcHIsED STATES

California and South Dakota are
the only states in which the Roose-
velt scheme to appropriate the pres
tige Of the republican party succeed
ed and in those two states republican
voters have been deprived of their
voting privilege.
In other states where the game was
tried, the courts have headed it off
and have given the republicans their
franchise rights.
California and South Dakota are so
far apart that no prearranged COM
muntty of action could be instituted.
1t is understood, though, that Cali
fornia republicans are to cast their
votes for the democratic ticket, tax
ing the same action that is contem-
plated by South Dakota republicans,
as their only recourse under the
brutal tactics Of suppression employ
ed.
It Is therefore with good reason
that the soothsayers of the democra-
tic side of the political division are
claiming both states for their candi-
dates.

EGAN FALSELY ACCUSED

The editor of the Aberdeen American
after careful investigation Of the many
charges made against Geo. w. Egan,
says the same were false. The Ameri-
can says:
AS soon as the heat of the primary
canpaign was over and time and OPP
portuDity were afforded the editor of
this paper began an investigation to
get at the real bottom of the charges
against George w. Egan during the
primary campaign. For the last
three or four years divers and sundry
high crimes and mlsdemeanors have
been charged to Mr.. Egan in fact ever
since he lived in this state, even run
ming back to his residence in Iowa.
While the fight was on the cam
paign very much heated The Ameri-
can was furnished these stories and
printed them as received without in
vestigation, reducing the charges,
and thereby if it did Mr.. Egan, his
ia mily and friends great wrong and
serious injury it is our desire to set it
right as far as possible.
We produced in these columns
current stories to the effect that he
had while in Iowa twice committed
rape and that he had been guilty of
an assault. Upon examination we
find no evidence to substantiate this
charge and we desire it understood
that in making these accusations we
did him great wrong and we desire
our readers to join us in helping to
repair 80 far as we can the wrongful
charges and accusations made by us
in the campaign.
In another issue of this paper we
stated that Mr.. Egan had sought to
blackmail one E. G. Ward by bring
ing suit forJ T. Howard and wife
against Ward for alleged alternating
of his wife's affections. Upon invest
igating we found no evidence to SUBJ
stantiate and we find his conduct
was strictly professional and Mr..
Egan should have the confidence and
respect of the people.
We also published a letter purport-
ing to come from G. A. Bolter, a
member of the bar in Logan, Ia.
where Mr.. Egan used to live. This
letter cast insinuations which were
unwarranted, and Mr.. Bolter is said
to be bitter personal enemy of Mr..
Egan.
We are pleased to state that after
an investigation of all the charges
made in this paper against Mr.. Egan
we are unable to find ANYTHING in
his life in that connection deserving
Of centure or to support any of the
charges we have made upon him.
On the contrary We find him q man
of ability. character and integrity
and it is the hope and wish of the
editor of this paper that these un-
favorable comments made against
him may be forgotten by its readers
and that Mr.. Egan may be restored
to higher respect and confidence
which we are satisfied he is entitled
to receive at the hands of the citi-
zens of this state.

THE LAST APPEAL

To the loyal friends and supporters
of the Honorable Geo. w. Egan:
AS the time is near at hand by
which we as frien Is and followers of
be in whom we placed our confidence,
as true friend of the masses and an
advocate of economic State Govern
ment.
l wish to call your attention to the
fact that it will be of the utmost in-
portance to rally our forces and see
that our ballots are cast against those
who were most instrumental in his
defeat, and your attention is more
particularly directed to the office of
Governor, and Attorney General, and
to that end, most urgently warn you
to be aware of election roar backs at
the last moment, and to shrink not
from your duty, but unite our forces
on Edwin S. johnson for Governor,
and w. A. Lynch for Attorney Cen
eral. The present Attorney General,
Royal @. Johnson, being q candidate
for reelection on the Bull Moose
ticket, and as he was very conspicuous
in his attacks upon Egan, we now
have the opportunity to retaliate and
by our ballots bury forever in obli-
won all those who would seek office
and honor through the character AS
sassins tion route.
