The Calling Of Trains.
,incinnati Times Star.

From the Cincinnati Illness Star.
The man who misses his train because
he sits in the waiting room in blissful
Inconsistencies that its approaching de-
parture has been announced is not an
exception.
Even persons of acute hearing and more
than average intelligence may miss trains
in just that way. They know that the
official announcer, either assisted by a
megaphone or relying entirely upon his
sixty-horsepower lungs, is trying to
convey information of some kind. but
what that information is quite often is
shrouded in deepest mystery.
To overcome the acoustic defects of
most large railroad waiting rooms and
to inform intending passengers just when
their trains are ready the telephone is
to be employed. BY this system the an
nouncer will talk into q transmitter. In
stead of shooting into the circumbient
atmosphere, and his words Of wisdom will
be reproduced in numerous receivers,
equipped with simplifying horns and dis
tributed about the waiting room.
The drawback to this plan seems to lie
in the fact that the same old announcer
with the same old monotonous voice Will
do the talking. Merely reproducing his
unintelligible jargon in multiple and am
plifying IL is more likely to work in
creased hardship to the travelling public
than to help things. The telephone IDEA
may be a good one but before 1t can
be made to work the needed reform some
thing more important must be attended
TO course I'm voice culture, enunciatfon
and pronunciation for every official
whose duty it is to call /out the trains
is the most pressing need just at present.

VIEWS OF CANDIDATES
ON PURE FOOD ASKED
Consumers League Addresses
Letters to Presidential
Possibilities.

The National Consumers League
through the chairman of its food COM
mittee. Mrs. Alice Lakey of Crawford, n.
j.. has addressed letters to the presi-
dental candidates of the democratic, re-
publican and socialist parties asking
their views on the pure food laws. and
elected, in regard to certain officials of
the Department of Agriculture.
The league recently adopted resolutions
denouncing Secretary Wilson, Solicitor
McCabe and DIR. F. l.. Dunlap as three
faithless officials and demanding their
dismissal in default of their designations.
1t was charged by the league that the
three officials named were responsible for
the resignation of DR.. Harvey Wiley as
chief of the bureau of chemistry.
The letters of inquiry have been sent
to President Taft, Col. Roosevelt Senator
La Toilette. Gov. Wilson. Gov. Harmon,
Gov. Marshall, Speaker Clark and Eugene
V. Debs.
Attitude Is Stated.
After citing the resolution referred to-
which was adopted by the league May IL
last, the letter states the leagues attitude
toward the pure food laws and outlines
the intent of the laws. Continuing, the
letter states:
THE law would have afforded consum-
ers complete protection under its pro
visions from the evils of adulterated
misbranded, poisonous and harmtu
foods, drugs, liquors and medicines mad

ed by DR.. Wiley's resignation.

rs the policy to continue of letting MI.
McCabe decide legal questions connected
with the enforcement of the act or IL
the law to be enforced only through the
courts, as was intended when the act was
first enacted?
rs Secretary Wilson to be continued in
Office and have the power to stop the
enforcement of the law. notably in the
case of sulphuring of fruits. when he
announced that this law has got to
stop?
tWas it intended that the Secretary OF
Agriculture alone should have the power
of life and death over the pure food
law?
Want Officials Dismissed.
rs it just to consumers to retain in Of
flee Secretary Wilson and Messrs. Nc
Cabe and Dunlap when these men have
steadily upheld the special interests to
the disadvantage of the pure food law
and the detriment of the consumer?
IF you are elected to the high office OF
President of the United States will you
remove from office these faithless OIL
cials, who have steadily favored the
weakening of the law, who have per-
mitted its fundamental principles to be
violated? These are questions that vital
ly concern consumers.
I'VE ask you what you will do. SO that
we may know what is to be the fate OF
the greatest law for the protection Of the
home ever enacted in his country.
