POISONING OF THE PEOPLE GOES ON

tn STARTLING exposition of how the food and drug adul
II terators are still poisoning the public is made by PROBES
sor Fl. FL. Rusby, of this city, dean of the College OF
Pharmacy of Columbia University and former assistant to FOOD
Expert DR.. Wiley. Professor Rusty asserts that at least 70 per
cent. of the capital invested in drug and medicine puryey1ng Is
fraudulently employed. Conditions in food are not so bad, out
sufficiently alarming. DR.. Colt, also of Newark, has SHOWN III
annually 100000 infants in this country die before their thlrd
wear from malnutrition. Milk is watered or skinned. Cod liver
oil is diluted. Worse than this, the milk may be alive with bac-
terra and the cod liver oil mixed with other oils, deadly IN enect.
Professor Rusby tells why benzoates and the, like are dangerous.
They are efficient preservatives of food and for that very reason
retard digestion. Roasted beans are added to coffee, and rot
ten eggs are used to give them the right appearance. Coffee beans
are even made of mud. Cream cheese is fabricated OF cottonseed
and other oils, and butter from the fat of animals that nave
died of disease. Gelatin, stearin, rejuvenated eggs and saccharln
go into ice cream. Strawberry jam by the ton is made from cider
mill or wine press refuse, favored with coal tar products and
filled with hayseed to make it look like the real thing. Powdered
sugar used by confectioners is largely white clay. Revelations
about meat packing establishments are horrible. Quarters OF
fouIly diseased meats condemned by a government inspector are
worked up into food products after he has gone. Professor husoy
blamest the State, county and town authorities for TINS frlght1ui
state of affairs. He points out that the authority OF the Federal
government does not extend to acts performed within a town or
State, and those engaged in poisoning the people know TINS.
There is no hope of relief except through action taken by local
authorities. Until States, counties, cities and towns awaken TO
their duty, the adulteration and poisoning of the peoples food
and medicine will go on.

AMERICAS FINE BEGINNING.

~ MEXICAN athletes made a magnificent beginning in the
M Olympic games in Sweden yesterday, the first day on
which there were finals in any of the events. Our fleet
footed youths had shown their quality on Saturday in the qualify
ing heats, but no one expected such a sweep as they made of
the 1O0meter race yesterday. No nation before had ever taken
first, second, third and fourth places in one international event.
The victory of a student of the Carlisle Indian School in the
nentathlon gives our citizens of aboriginal blood a conspicuous
share in the triumphs of the day. Expert opinion looks to a con-
tinuation of American victories in enough of the coming events
to give our country the championship of the worlds greatest
athletic meet, which would be a wonderful performance, consid-
ering that our representatives count up only A per cent. in num-
hers of this immense aggregation of strong, speedy and skiful
men. the pick of the human race in physical prOwess.

REGULATING NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.

PTS HERE being laws strictly regulating primary elections, why
not political conventions, too? In New Jersey and several
other States the convention system has been abolished
and therefore no regulation is needed, but the events at the last
two national conventions suggest some means of regulation. Rep
resentative Norris, of Nebraska, thinks So. He has introduced a
bill for the purpose. 1t provides for national conventions on the
fourth Monday in June and gives the voters in their primaries
The right to name first and second choice for Presidential candi-
dates. The result of the primary elections are to be certified by
State officers to the secretary of the interior, who is to canvas the
votes, the candidate having a majority of the votes to become the
party nominee. If no choice is evident the convention is to nomi
nate, otherwise it will merely declare the result and formulate a
platform. The bill is not to go into effect until twenty States
shall have accepted it. But this is only a roundabout way of
abolishing the national convention and it would put an end to one
of the most picturesque features of American life.

COMPLICATED STATE POLITICS.

II N the whrl of national politics during the primary election
campaigns and the national conventions State and local
politics were lost sight of in all the States. Political man
ayers are now beginning to look to their party fences, and, as a
rule. with much bewilderment and doubt. In most of the States
1t is as yet impossible to take any bearings. In New Jersey the
split in the Republican organization will involve State and even
county and municipal candidates. and necessitate separate pri.
maries and nominations. For Congress, the Legislature and other
Offices the Progressives presumably will have full sets of candi
dates. If the new party merely divides the Republican party vote
the outcome need not be foretod. Whether it will borrow any
strength from the Democratic fold is problematical.
