Sober Sentiment is
Swinging to Taft

The sentiment in favor of the re,elec-
ton of President Taft is growing out in
this state" said i. w. Jeffeis yester-
day. Il have talked with a great many
men from out in the state where Col
onel Roosevelt was supposed to be
strong, and they say that the sentiment
Of many of the voters is switching back
from Teddy to Taft"
Mr.. Jefferis says he has found that
as the caipaign progresses and as the
old time republicans think more soberly
Of the Roosevelt attitude, great numbers
of them begin to see that the third
party movement is simply following a
wild hurrah, and they come back to
what they believe to be more permanent
and better founded policies. He says
that many men from out in the state dis
cussing the matter admit that President
Taft is not quite so we'll schooled in the
arts of political tricks as Roosevelt is
and that in consequence he does not get
the advertising out of calling someone
liar, or refusing to eat at someone's s
table. etc, but that when these things
are laid aside and held at just what they
are worth, President Taft is the man
that gets the credit for being the sober
minded statesman.

to arrogate to himself the credit for

In statement given publicity by

Mr. Roosevelt has repeatedly

of June SO, I906-the pure food law,
so called have in my possession q
printed letter OF his, under date Of
August 3, 1912. in which he makes the
claim that 1t was due to his activity
that the bill became law. In the lets
ter Mr.. Roosevelt says that DR.. Wiley
and a fewsother Impractical vision
aries had been trying for years to Sc
cure the passage OF pure food law.
but had simply played into the hands
Of the foes of such a measure. He says
that, with the assistance of Mr.. Gar
field, then Secretary OF the Interior,
and others, the law was forced
through Congress. Mr.. Roosevelt says
further. Il forced the law through Con-
gIess; enforced 1t well.
Now, the fact is nobody ever heard
|of Mr.. Garfield's connection with the
passage of the food and drugs act.
Further, that act became law June
80, 1906. Mr.. Garfield became Score
tary OF the Interior March 4, 1907, ac-
cording to the records and to his auto
biography as published In Who's Who
in America
"Still further, Mr.. Roosevelt did not
support the bill until he became aware
that a tremendous public sentiment
existed In its favor. Then he took Il

Fit became operative and 1t was seen
to hamper operations Of food adultera7
tors be proceeded to cut the strength
out Of, the law by appointing the Rem.

'The Remsen Board, as every one
knows who Is acquainted with the
facts, completely emasculated the pure

tended 1t should. The Remsen Board
is wholly unauthorized by the law and

FIRE PREVENTION DAY

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
Dear Sir-Permit me through your
columns to call the attention of the
citizens of Bryan to the fact that
Wednesday, October 8, has been
designated by Governor o. B. Colquitt
as, Fire Prevention Day." and to urge
upon all property owners, and espe-
cially the business men, that they
make close inspection of their re-
spective houses and stores for I'M
necessary accumulations of trash,
waste paper, excelsior, oily or greasy
rags, or any other substance that in
creases the fire hazard. Also examine
the condition of their stovepipes and
| flues, their gasoline cans and lighting
systems.
One hour spent in this way tomor-
row may be the means OF averting a
serious fire, with it's accompanying
property loss.
| | expect next week to make a rigid
inspection of the business district and
hope to be able to submit a good re-
port to the state fire marshal.
Respectfully,
G. q. jenkins,
City Fire Marshal.
