Discusses States Pure Food.

An interesting account of the work
ings of the state dairy and food de-
partment and the valuable service 1t
renders to Michigan, was given by In
spector James w. Helme In an adj
dress before the Christian sociology
class of First Baptist church.
1T is perhaps natural that | should
regard the dairy and food department
as the most important to the state.
said Mr.. Helme, "but believe we are
justified in so regarding It. While
only those who are members of cor.
porations or buying automobile Ii
censes come in touch with the secre-
tary OF state, and only those interest
ed in fire or life insurance come in
touch with the insurance commission,
every man, woman and child in the
state is up against the food problem
three times a day"
Mr.. Helme told OF the condemna-
ton of many food products of the
state, because by some process or 9TH
er they are being made to appear of
a different quality than they really are
and therefore illegal within the mean
ing of the pure food laws. He showed
how this applies to the polishing of
rice kernels, coloring oleo to product
appear fresh. similar polishing of
rich kerneys, coloring oleo to resemble
butter and selling either wholesale or
retail any product which may have
started to decay. Preservatives placed
In canned goods and meats come with
in the violations of pure food laws, he
said, unless the amount and kind of
such preservatives and adulteration
shall be stamped on the label Of the
package.
A member Of the class called at
tention to the sale of spoiled eggs
from local stores, and reported one
instance in which the dealer blamed
the packing house and investigation
showed that the packing house had
accepted only fresh eggs from farm
ers Mr.. Helme declared that his de-
partment would entertain prosecution
against both retailer and packing
house In instances where such cases
were formally presented.

CONVERTED TO PRoTEcTIoNIsM.

A few years ago when the muckrak-
ing magazines were in fierce compe-
tition for the discovery Of new evils,
Golfers was knee-deep in the mud
with which it sought to spatter the pro-
tectionist tariff. That tariff was
changed for the revenue-only variety,
and in the year before the war there
was in consequence a net loss of over
$180,000,0 900 to United States Industries.
Golfers has not yet admitted that the
war could not have caused something
which happened before a shot was
fired, but it does see that when the
war is over Europe will be pauper-

mum. 1t says:
IF We are to protect our workers
and our social standards against this
sort of competition, we may have to
look at the protective tariff from a
new angle"
AS that is an angle from which re.
publicans have always looked at the
tariff, there is nothing original in the
cause Of Golfers conversion.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

The public pretty generally feels
that there is ''too much politics. con-
nected with every department OF gov
q eminent. from township to nation.
That is only partly true: the truth is
that there is too much bad politics.
Government in itself is politics and
If we have good politics, we have good
government. It Is not therefore, a
case OF too much politics but too much
bad politics.
The trouble is that the standard OF
33politicians is not high enough. Wash
ington, Jefferson, Madison. Lincoln
they were all politicians, but their
politics was of a level and their abili-
ties such that they are labeled states
men.
The office holder of today who puts
selfinterest ahead of the peoples in
terests. is not statesman. His every
act in office is weighed, not by
the standard of whether it is good
or bad for the people, but by the et-
feet 1t will have upon his own polltl-
cal future This man supports
|. measure he believes to be bad II ne
Thinks that his support OF it Will pro-
long his political life. He appoints
= man to Office whom hesknows to be
incompetent, or at least not the best
man for the place, if he believes that
tho appointment will win him support
for reelection. He pays exorbitant
salaries for small services, if those
who are getting the money will prove
more friendly to him and his future
\ candidacy bucause of it. Rarely II
! ever does he lose sight of his own sell
| Ash interests and act in the interests
Of the people at large. Only when
his interests are identical with those
sof the people, do the people get the
iIseryice from him that they should.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

If conditions were such that the
American manufacturer could take
advantage of them he would find that
the great European war has present
ed him with a golden opportunity.
This is the opportunity Of the manu-
facturer to corner the trade of the
United States and let it be said that
If the American manufacturer could
effect this corner he would have
enough work to keep all his indus-
tries going night and day and would
provide places in which all Of the
Idle men of today could find work at
American-standard wages.
Complete stoppage for short time
and partial stoppage since the i'm
mense shipments of European goods,
which the present laws invite, have
showed many people that they can
get just as good and better articles of
American make than are those Of Eu-
ropean make. Furthermore it has
been made more plain to the people
that there is direct connection be-
tween prosperity and the amount of
American money that goes to Europe
in payment of goods brought there.
And above all, there is growing all
over the country desire to buy
made in America" goods in prefer
ence, to the imported stuffs.
The American people are the best
buyers in the world. That is because
they get the best wages in the world.
However. the wages cease when the
mills and factories close down from
lack of a market for their products.
Our commercial world is builded upon
the desire and the ability of the great
mass of the people to spend money.
The great mass of the people are. day
workers. that is, men who are working
by the day for some one else, directly
or indirectly, in the business of pro-
duction. Cut these men off the payroll
and the motive power Of the business
world is gone The smaller business
men who sell to these day workers
must quit business. the iobbers and
middle men cannot sell to the retail
ers who have failed and no new or
ders are sent to the producers. Ev-
erything stops.
The American market is big enough
for all the factories in this country
now-and more too. Therefore, if the
government will pass laws that will
aid in making people see the desira-
bility of buying "made in America
goods, the American manufactures
will call the workmen back to their
jobs in increased numbers, the work
men will begin drawing pay and spend
