BE FAIR TO ALL.

Editor Herald:
1t is always the wounded bird that
flutters and judging from the flutter
ing and pitiful outcry of that rara
avis known as "The Democrat" it was
at least seriously if not fatally wound
ed.
Now / did not sign that article,
Rod, because it never occurred to me
that the reading public had any in
terest in me whatever. 1t doesn't now.
If they were interested in what | said
especially those incidents recalled
that is all there is to it. Unlike
play actors, do not need or crave
publicity.
The trouble is that you do not, or
will not, meet the position of our
business men on the sugar question.
Your abandonment of an idea of fair
ness to the board of trade and the su-
gar committee is evident to any citi-
zen who reads your paper. You de-
liberately misrepresent every action of
the board of trade and at some time
in the career of the Democrat have
roasted and knocked every individual
member thereof. 1t is only question
of time when the Democrat will reach
| MIR. barley.
l do not doubt but Mr.. barley is q
good, well meaning Christian gentle
man, and it is perhaps beautiful
thought on your part just now to pic
ture him as great reformer, who viii
remodel Durango into modern Utop
ia and her sugar beet subscribers
you were not one of them---into an

The sugar question is one that vii

section, and the handwriting on tn
wall shows that 1T MUST COME il
time, when the conditions and regula
tions have been best calculated to in
sure SUCCESS.
1t was noticeable at the meeting a
Red Men hall that the most arden
champions of Mr.. barley were thos
who, up to the present, had not sub
scribed a cent. They renigged whel
trumps were lead, SO their tricks will
not count now. The Democrat as
reformer should bend its efforts il

NEW RULES FOR
WIRELESS system
Second international Conference
Meets in London to Discuss
Future Regulations.

LONDON, June 1O.--The second In.
ternational Conference on Wireless
Telegraphy opened here last week with
twenty-five nations represented by
delegates in attendance. The British
Government is acting as host of tho
conference, with the Postoflice Depart
ment in active charge of the proceed
ings. Tho delegates were officially well
coined by the Postmaster. General. All
of the sessions were secret, but it Is
known that the chief problems dis.
cussed concerned better wireless con.
ditions at sea. OF the nations repres.
ented, all have seacoasts, and the use
of wireless by vessels since the initial
conference in Berlin six years ago has
increased to such an extent that new
regulations are needed.
According to high official of the
British Postoiiice, the problem of Sc.
curing uniform wave.lengths, whereby
there may be no repetition of the con.
fusion which prevailed at the time of
the Titanic disaster, win be one of the
leading matters discussed by the con-
ference. In this connection il is con-
sidercd likely that international action
\
/ will be recommended to compel the va
rious systems of wireless now in use to
cooperate with each other in the case
of disaster and weather message
Although some of the nations con
cerned have practically solved the
troubles caused by amateur operators,
this evil will be discussed by the con.
| ference.
The American delegation, headed by
Rear Admiral John r. Edwards, took
an active part in the discussion. 1t is
known that the Americans are strongly
in favor of radical changes in the pres.
emit regulations, and they win be es'
pecially insistent upon twenty-foul
hour wireless staff for every soa.going
passenger ship. The matter of amend
ing the present code and improving the
system of communication between ship
and ship and ship and shore will also
be advocated by the delegates from the
United States.

MUST NOT FAKE
ON BOSTON BEANS

TOPEKA, Kansas, June lin Kan
sas Boston baked beans are really Bos-
ton baked beans. Those beans must
have been baked in Boston, Massachu-
sets. with the same kind of heat that
the Bostonese use and in the same at
mosphere as the beans baked in Boston
are accustomed to.
The versatile manufacturer of baked
beans who has his packing plant in II
linois can not label his beans AS Boston
baked and sell them in Kansas. Kansas
is so particular that when it buys Bos-
ton baked beans it wants those with
the Boston atmosphere. No one has
any objection to buying beans cooked
like they do in Boston, but they can
not be sold as Boston baked. They can
be sold as baked beans, Boston style.
The other day a pure food inspector
happened into Topeka grocery store.
He spied on the shelf many cans
labeled fBoston Baked Beans. ~ He
took one down and looked it over.
Those Boston baked beans were made
| in East st. Louis, Illinois, or the label
showed that they were put up for q
grocery firm in that city. The inspec'
| tor stamped all over those labels the
word, ''Illegal," and the groceryman
| could not sell the cans of Boston baked
beans, baked in Illinois.
Under the law those good old frank
| furters are not frankfurters at all IN
Kansas. They are sausage, Frankfurt
style. Also bologna is just sausage
Bologna style. They DOM make frank
fnrters OF bologna that is consumed II
Kansas in Frankfort on-the-Main, Ger
many, or on Bologna. They are made
in Kansas City and Wichita. Therefore
| they are labeled sausage, Frankfort Oh
Bologna style.
1t is favorite scheme for som'
maple sugar and syrup manufacturers
who get all of the maple syrup from
| trees in Indiana, g Illinois, Michigan anC
Wisconsin, to n, label their products
"Vermont Maple Syrup, put up by th'
Jim Crow Syrup Company, Ka0kakee
Illinois, or Terre Haute, Indiana.
But they don't do it any more. Larg,
quantities of the syrup from thess
States are sold in Kansas, but 1t il
maple syrup, vermont style"
Rule on Rice and Tea.
Down In the Carolinas they grow
large quantities of rice and in Cali
fornia they grow more or less tea. Much
of this rice and all of this tea is grown
from Japanese seed. Naturally it would
be supposed that under the Kansas Law
this rice would be South Carolina rice
Japanese style, or California tea, Japa,
nese style. But it isn't so.
That's where the Kansas pure food
law makes careful distinction. Rice
and tea are natural products and there
is no manufacturing in getting the
product TO market like there is in maple
syrup and baked beans. So that the
law permits the Carolina rice grower
to sell his rice as real Japanese rice
but he must show that it was grown in
Carolina.
