Liability of Sellers Of Unhole.
some Food at Public
Eating Places

| Me supreme court of Louisiana
recently rendered decision in the
ease of Doyle o. F1erst and
K0enaer (56 So. 906) which is of
interest to everyone who even oc-
casionally dimes in a public restaur-
ant. The plaintiff claimed that he
was poisoned from having eaten
cakes and chocolate with whipped
cream at the defendants confection-
cry where refreshments were served
to the public. The court holds that
a seller of food, such as chocolate
and cakes sold at a public eating
place, is presumed to know any
unwholesome condition OF the food,
and is liable for damages to pur-
chaser through being made i'll on
account of unwholesomeness. 1t
is common knowledge, to which
the keeper of a public eating place
must be held, that food in which
the process of decomposition has
begun his liable to make the person
who eats it ill. The measure of
damage sustained by purchaser
of food, who is made i'll through it's
EMBELLISHMENTS, is not merely
reimbursement of the price, but all
damages that were aforeseen or
could have easily been foreseen as
likely to have resulted. The court
thinks that 500 was not an ex-
cessive award to a purchaser of
food for illness resulting from
ptomain poisoning caused by un-
wholesomeness of food, where he
suffered intense pain, believed for
two hours that he was in danger of
death and suffered an attack of
jaundice in consequence.

WATTERSON AND WILSON.

~ INES have changed-of course they have.
Il Think of the pugnacious Colonel Henry
Watterson suggesting that a court of honor of
gentlemen be named to decide question of
veracity between him and the Hon. Woodrow
Wilson.
In his long life Colonel watterson has seen the
day when the only way in which such a dispute
could be settled would be on the field Of honor,
not in court, in which the weapons would be
pistols or swords. But with all his wounded feel
ings the colonel would be content with a court
OF honor, although Captain Ben Tillman of South
Carolina, not so aggressive as he used to be in
the pitchfork days, does not take kindly to the
court of honor. Perhaps Captain Tillman, who
declares that the incident is closed, thinks that
mountain is being made out of a mole hill
There is something TO be said in favor of the
court of honor, but if such a method of settling
disputes should be adopted, there would have to
be permanent court of honor to act upon all
disagfeements between gentlemen in politics. Mr..
Roosevelts plan of forming an Ananias Club is
simples and less expensive, though perhaps not
so conclusive as the court of honor.
There are some queer things about the dispute
between watterson and Wilson. 1t is all regard
ing the collecting of campaign funds for the gov
ernors campaign. Actually Mr.. Ryan, the Wall
street magnate, was to be solicited and Colonel
Watterson as dough provder admits that he
had had fair success. And yet if Democrats have
always set a stern face against campaign funds,
as they say, why should valiant citizen like
Colonel watterson engage in gathering campaign
funds? Why should he drop the quill for the
cash box? Is the latter more potent in political
matters? 1t is, we hear some Dclawareans say.
After this confession of Colonel Watterson's that
he was raising financial wind instead of jour-
nalistc wind, we should not be surprised at al
most anything. We should not be surprised 1t

THE MONEY TRUST.

THE testimony of Samuel Untermyer, the
i noted corporation lawyer of New York,
garding the so-called money trust has commanded
attention and compelled thought at the National
capital No muck raker is Mr.. Untermyer, but it
is fair to presume that the spoke with that de-
liberation marked by careful thought that char
acterizes a man familiar with the subject he is
handling.
1t is not to be doubted that after the address
by Mr.. Untermyer Congress will take action look
ing TO inquiry which will lift the lid from the
financial operations of Wall street. The testimony
of Mr.. Untermyer, given before committee at
Washington the other day, is not pleasant read
ing. He declares that there has been, during the
last five years, a concentration Of the money power
greater than that known during the preceding
half-century. A community of financial interests
has displaced competition among the financial in
stitutions with the result that men high in the
financial world have been able to assist their
friends and punish their enemies, and the alleged
trust has used its power to crush opposition and
to dominate the smaller hnanciers and financial
institutions.
In other words, the trust can make or break a
man, showerng pecunary blessings upon those
who bask in its favor and practically running or
destroying the independence of those to whom 1t
takes a dislike.
These in effect are the charges made by Mr..
Untermyer, and it is likely that before Congress
commits itself to the Adrich financial plan, It will
ascertain the truth or falsty of the statements oil
! Mr. Untermyer.

FAIR DEAL FOR TAFT

0NE of Mr. Tafts friends, Michigan Sena-
~ tor, called on him the other day and when
later asked concerning the subject of his CONVEX
sation with the president replied that among
other things he had advised the president TO ad-
vertise-that is to make known through various
channels of publicity the good points of his ad-
minstration, and to work them for what they
were worth"
There was something bordering on the pathetic
in the reply of the president. He said that he
did not know how TO advertise Then the Michi-
gan Senator replied that he should surround him
self with men who understand the game"
This incident brings out much truth in regard
TO the political situation concerns the president
Mr. Taft has been entirely frank in dealing with
the public. He has not attempted to conceal his
mistakes, neither has he tried TO win the applause
of the multitude by the articles that are so neces
sary for success in politics at least seem to be
necessary.
Mr.. Taft lacks those qualifications that appeal
to the masses which like to look upon man as
hero" He has done but few things that appeal
to those who form their opinions from snap shot
2 l)Rpr ressions' of public men and public affairs,
TO those VINO read the headlines" and do not di-
gest what follows under the headlines. He is no
flash light statesman. There is nothing
tional about him. He is not uproarious. There
is no concealment He stands for what he is. He
makes his record and then leaves il to the public
TO judge, to the sober second thought of the pub
lie. His entire training and environment has made
him what he is. He cannot be different. Trained
in the atmosphere of the bench, with little e&per-
ience in the hurlyburly Of political warfare, natu-
rally of a calm and judicial temperament, he has
acted somewhat as a dgnihed court in render
ing it opinions But, on the other hand he has
shown no disposition TO keep aloof from the
people. No other president has travelled through
out the country as much as Mr. Taft has done, no
other president has shown disposition to be
more in touch with public opinion, but Mr.. Taft
has lacked the knack of stirring that enthusiasm
which most successful popular leaders are capable
of arousng.
Had President Taft possessed that knack,
had his administration been placed in the hands of
advertisers" its many good points would have
made far deeper impression upon the country
than it has done, for, after ALL barring mistakes
which the president frankly admits, the Taft ad-
ministraton will 90 down in history as an able
administration. The presidents pleas for peace
his enforcement OF the law, his efforts to extend
trade relations with Canada, his plan for solving
the vexed problem of the tariff, his policy OF pro
noting economy in the administration of the at
fairs of the government his constant aim to i'm
prove the character of the public service are bu
few of the things that stand out in his admin
istraton in such way as to commend It to al
persons who desire fair deal for William H. Tart

EXPRESS COMPANIES.

ONE result of the investigation of the ex-
~ press companies by the Inter-States COM
merce Commission is expected to be consider
able reduction in the rates charged by these con-
Germs.
The investigation was resumed in Washing
ton today and more interesting testimony
is expected. The commission has had fifty expert
accountants employed during the inquiry. They
have examined $4,000 way bills amounting in
all to 100000 items. These inquiries have shown
the destination of packages, their weight and the
rates paid by shippers.
1t has been made clear in the course of the ex-
animation that the companies have small essets,
their only tangible property being horses and
wagons and some buildings They really do
messenger service.
1t has been shown that the contracts between
the companies and the railroads provide for
heavy compensation for the latter. In other words
the express companies and the railroad companies
divide very large melon that is annually cut
1t is said that the profits of the express COM
panieS are enormous considering the amount Of
capital invested. One company, the Great North
ern, is cited as an illustration This company was
organized in 1892 with capital stock OF SlO0 OO0
The amount invested in property of various kinds
was something more than $7l 900. During the last
ten years the company has paid in dividends So
100000 and il has surplus of almost $500 600
These profits accrued after the company had paid
