worse. In the matter of the adultera-
ltion of distilled beverages in which
Roosevelt upheld the legally consti-
tuted authorities, Mr.. Taft reversed
that policy and threw the mighty
weight of the executive office to the
support of the worst lot of adultera-
tors that ever disgraced a country.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Marshall by
their strenuous efforts in behalf of the
food laws of their respective states,
have given positive promise to end
such a threatening state of affairs.
They will support to the utmost the
officials under the law who are trying
to protect the public health and will
make short shrift of those who have
brought about these present unbeara-
BILE conditions.

tion >and environment are free from
bias in favor Of predatory interests
and are inspired by true patriotic zeal
In behalf of public welfare.
! | support the Democratic nominees
in full knowledge that many of the
prominent Democrats In congress have
been in full sympathy with the paraly-
sis of the food law in behalf of the
unholy dollar. But when the Demo
cratic president and vice-president
lend the aid of their powerful sympa-
thy in behalf of the public health
those of their own party not in SYM
pathy with them will be robbed of
their power for evil If Roosevelt or
Taft be chosen the soldiers of fraud
and adulteration will be impregnably
entrenched for another four years and

alcoholic beveridges will have a new
lease of life.
believe also that President Wilson
will renovate the department of agri-
culture, reeking as it has been for
the past twelve years, with scandals
and favoritism He will see to it that
the bureau of animal industry will
protect the public health instead of
the efforts of the packers to sell dis
eased meats under the deceptive
phrase "U. S. Inspected and Passed" ="
Under President Wilson no more Pin
chots will be kicked out of the service.
no more unspeakable McCabes will ex-
ercise dictatorial powers There will
be no more cotton leaks and Jungle
atrocities, no more Everglade swim

buncombe will give place to sane eff
forts for the promotion of real agri-
culture and the public health
Under Wilson the department of
agriculture will be restored to speak

Colleges and Experiment Stations, and
the State officials will no longer be
regarded as inferior beings, living only
on the largess of a Washington cabal.

of appealing from my decisions to the

Roosevelt. He not only listened to
them, but he abrogated the plain pro-

AS the new law raises the limit of weight packages
that may be sent through the mails by parcel post
from four eleven pounds the Postmaster General has
purchased thirty thousand two hundred new scales tor
weighing these parcels This was necessary be-
cause under the old arrangement postofces not
supplied with scales having a capacity to weigh the
larger shipments Offices in the larger cities have been
supplied with automatic springess scales which
capable of being operated at great speed and other
presidential postoces have been given high grade beam
scales, while the smaller have been provided with
spring balances of the requisite capacity.
There have been printed on the Autograph presses of
the United States Geological Survey initial issue of
one hundred and twenty-five thousand maps. This
necessary because the method of computing the rates
of postage entirely upon the combination of par
eel post guide and map showing the lines of the
particular office interested. Copies of the maps have
also been sent all posoces and to each of the rural
carriers, numbering approximately forty-three thou

cost of manufacture and distribution. The outlines of

The ambitious efficiency of this plan demonstrated
by the fact that the DEPARTMENT intends to give the
public the same prompt service of delivery and col

That is if you want to send package of four pounds
for fifty miles. it will cost you fourteen cents; you
want it to go farther than fifty miles and any distance
less than hundred and fifty, it will you eighteen
cents and thus the computation be made for any
distance that the parcel to be taken 1t has been
mated that very rarely indeed is parcel sent through
the mails for a distance of than hundred
