PURE FOOD LAW REVISION.

Judson C. Welliver, Washington
correspondent of Farm and Fireside.
publishes in the current issue Of that
periodical an article showing how the
pure food law needs to be amended.
He quotes Doctor Alsberg, chief Of the
bureau Of chemistry, as authority for
the statement that pure food labels,
the socalled guarantee labels with
which we are all familiar, are entirely
unsatisfactory. The label reads as fol-
lows: Guaranteed by Bunkem and
Foolem under the pure food and drugs
act Of June 80. 1906" Most people
think that that label signifies that the
United States government knows what
Is inside Of the package and has certi-
fled that 1t Is good. The label means
nothing of the kind. All it means is
that Bunkem and Foolem, the manu-
facturers, have filed with the govern
ment a guarantee that their goods are
not adulterated or misbranded and
all the guarantee means is that in case
any jobber, wholesaler or retailer is
arrested and charged with selling
bogus preparations. they. the manu-
facturers, will stand behind him and
bear the expense and responsibility.
The average citizen thinks that the
government Is doing the guaranteeing.
Far from 1t.
What the government ought to have
is authority to fix food standards. Mr..
Welliver goes on as follows:
Secretary Houston is going to de-
mand a sweeping amendment Of the
law. including authority to fix food
and drug standards. That is a very
difficult thing to do, but yet it must
be done II the law is to be Of any real
use.
fixing food and drug standards
will prove one Of the most difficult
tasks the government ever undertook.

berg cited when I talked with him:

Joe Ross, Chief of Police, Had Attack
Better Now.

Tuesday afternoon Josiah Ross,
chief OF police. was taken seriously
i'll in front of the New England build
ing and today is unable to leave his
house. The chief, with Detective Ly-
tie, was at Fifth and Kansas Avenue
when the former became suddenly
sick. He was taken to the Office of DIR.
II. B. Hogeboom, who later sent him
home in an automobile. 1t il re-
ported that Chief Ross was suffering
from a complication of heart and
kidney trouble.
Today the chief was improved and
will probably be able to work in a
few days He was able to sit up in
his room and the physicians believed
that the attack was not permanent.
During the absence of Chief Ross
from the police station, Sergeants
Walker and Sauls will be in charge
of the department.

A HALL OF INJUSTICE.

That superior courts and the juries
which work in them fail to find much
merit in the justice administered in
the Topeka police court is plainly
apparent from the reversals Of the
judgments delivered by Judge Huron.
Of that court. which have been an al
most daily occurrence of late In the
second division OF the district court.
In eight cases that were recently tried
in this court. on appeals from the
police court. there were seven re-
versals of Judge Huron's pronounce
ments. In the other case the jury
failed to agree.
It is not alone in respect to vio-
lations Of the prohibitory law that
Judge Huron seems unusually severe
and unfair In the sentences he i'm
poses. The eight cases referred to
involved a wide variety of alleged
crime and misdemeanors, including
charges of vagrancy, maintaining a
disorderly house. permitting a minor
to loiter in a pool hall. and larceny. as
well as violations of the prohibitory
law. This makes 1t evident that Judge
Huron errs quite frequently in almost
every kind OF a case that is brought
before him. And the conclusion is
inevitable that an arrest by the po-
lice is well nigh equivalent to q con-
viction in the police court, with a
penalty. ofttimes that is out of all
proportions to the seriousness of the
offenses charged.
All this Is a grave injustice on those
who are hailed to the police court
by over-alert and sometimes inexper-
fenced policemen who are anxious to
make records. It is as much q duty
of a judge of a police court to see
that nothing but fair and simple JUS
tice is done to all who are arraigned
before him, as it is that such justice
should be- done by a Judge or a jury
in a district court. And that this is
not the rule under the Huron regime
in the police court is demonstrated
conclusively by the regularity with
which the police court verdicts are
reversed and set aside in the district
court.
But there is a far more serious
angle to this condition of affairs. A
man who has the price to put up
an appeal bond and hire lawyers to.
carry his case from the police court
to the district court is reasonably sure
of eventually having justice melted out
to him, even If he is thus put to an
unjustifiable expense. What about
the man. though, who may be unjustly
dealt with in the police court and who
has neither friends to go on his ap-
peal bond nor funds to engage law
yers to appeal his case? There is but
one thing for him to do. He must go
to the filthy bull pen in the city prison
and to the rock pile and work out
whatever sentence the police judge
has seen fit to give him.
There must be many such cases.
All cases that are disposed of in the
police court are not appealed to the
district court by any means. And If,
as the records show. Judge Huron
errs in about every case that reaches
the district court, it is no more than
reasonable to insist that he does like
wise in many of the cases that come
before him and which are not ap-
pealed.
This makes a mockery Of justice
and equality before the law.
Judge Huron's motives may be the
best, but he seems not to have a right
idea Of the functions of his office.
