Tho Bleached Flour Decision.

Editorial in the New York Times:
The violent poisons Of the oxide Of
nitrogen may be introduced into flour
in an artificial process to make It
whittier, but If it cannot be proved in
a specific case that the poisonous in
gradients are in sufficient quantity to
be harmful, the practice must be per-
mitted. That Is the ruling Of the SUI
preme court Of the United States In
the bleached flour case, Justice Day
writing the opinion.
This appeal was not brought and
financed by the millers, but by the
company that controlled the manufac-
ture Of the bleaching machinery. 1t
not pretended that the artificial
whitening of -four did it any good. 1t
al admitted that the added ingredi-
ents were essentially poisonous, the
only contention being that they were
used in very moderate quantities. The
government, on the other hand, con-
tended that the S Of the poison per-
mitted the treated -four to be sold for
an increased price to the prejudice Of
the deceived or unwilling customer,
n it argued that harmful quantities
might be used ever in cases when It
could not be legally proved that they
were harmful.
Reasoning by analogy is Of little
force in law. Lawyers would say that
the Northen Securities case, in which
the judges held that, although there
was no evidence that harm had been
done, yet possession Of the power to
do harm was unlawful. has nothing to
do with the bleached -four case. The
factor in Missouri, though the court
said that 1t had been a positive bene-
fit to the farmers of the state; it was
outlawed because it might in the flu
ture harmfully affect trade. Laymen
will wonder why the courts are SO
jealous to secur unrestricted compe-
tition in trade, branding as criminal
combinations that may in future re-
strict it, yet require that the con-
sumer's stomachic pains be connected
definitely with the admittedly poison
Gus ingredients in the bleached flour
put into his bread.
If the poisonous acids of nitrogen
can be introduced into food under the
federal law, the adulterators who use
alum, arsenic, benzoic acid, and many
other harmful chemicals na snap
their fingers at the food inspectors.
Poisonous substances which are not in
troduced in quantities to hurt certain
healthy adults may harm others, and
may seriously injure invalids, children
and the aged. 1t will hardly do to say
that the public ear protect itself
against these chemicals by refusing to
buy the manufactured foods in which
they are used. 1t cannot detect them.
Since the supreme court Of the United
States has given the benefit Of the
doubt in such cases to the commercial
vendors, the pure food laws should be
amended in behalf of human stomachs.
1t is possible explicitly to forbid the
putting Of chemicals in foods where
their use might be harmful and might
be dispensed with.
