School Parade

An appeal will be made to the
voters of Laclede district Saturday
to vote the special levy, by street
parade of the student body. The
students with colors and banners
will parade the streets in the
morning at 10:3O o'clock. We
are sure that large majority Of
the voters of this district will vote
for the special levy, and we think
all will vote for it that have seen
the interior conditions of the school
building, but we should be sorry
to see even one dissenting vote
against a proposition that involves
such an immediate need as the
proposition that now confronts the
voters Of this district.

it is mot contended, much less shown,
that a component of some food stuff
is not injurious to health, there ap-
pears no excuse for putting the public
to any expense in such controversies
as that of baking powders" In dis
cussing the question of purity" and
admiration" of baking powder tine
Star-Mirror says:
The function of a baking powder is
to give ightness to baked food. At
least two radically different chemical
substances are contained in the pow
der, and these under the influence of
moisture or of moisture and heat must
enter into a chemical reaction. A gas
is liberated during the reaction and
bubbles form in the dough or batter
causing it to rise"
In the controversies, two points
have been argued-that certain sub
stances sontained in some powders
are injurious and that some ingred-
tents of certain powders are unnec-
essary and that the powders are.
therefore, "adulterated" or impure"
Bicarbonate of soda, cream of tarter
and starch or -four are the ingredients
of some of the best known powders.
Any one of these substances used to
excess would be deleterious to health.
Carbon di-oxide, the gas given off in
reaction, does not support life, and
any person confined in an atmosphere
of carbon di-oxide would soon perish.
The residue left in food after the
reaction is Rochelle salts, excessive
doses of which would be injurious.
El~t,~ eNa~nt
bringing about the reaction Tin fact
they are used to delay or prevent it,,
so they might be called adulterants.
But none of these facts would be con-
sidered evidence that soda-cream Or
tartar powders are injurious to health,
and, indeed, little or no evidence has
ever been advanced to show that it
| is.
Alum, which is found in some pow
ders, has the property of coagulating
and destroying organic substances,
but that the residue left in food by the
reaction of alum baking powders is
! injurious, has not been shown. Strych-
nine is dealy poison, yet in small
doses it is valuable tonic. By an
alogy we might even reason that
alum in small quantities is beneficial,
if we were so disposed
Some powders contain albumen, the
dried white of an egg. Whatever ex-
cuse may be offered for its presence,
no one will contend that it is injurious
to health. It is no more an adulter-
ant than -four or starch in cream of
tartar powders.
1t has not been proven that any one
of the three kinds of powders referred
to are injurious to health, so the net
result of all the discussion and ex-
pense to date, has been nothing, so
far as benefit to the public is con-
cerned.

A HISTORIC AND
EMPHATIC mo"

Secretary Bryan, in view of the ap-
preaching Chautauqua season, asked
Congress for an appropriation for a
Special Assistant Secretary of State
to be appointed by himself. The pre-
sumption was he desired a man who
would be responsible to him and not
to the president, the senate or the
country. The salary of the special
assistant which Mr. Bryan desired to
leave on the job was to have been
$500 year.
Bryan's proposition was up before
the house. The arguments had been
heard and the roll had been called.
The vote was 2l7 against the Pre-
mier's special assistant.
Call my name" growled Speaker
Clark.
Mr.. Clark" called the clerk.

The Speakers vote came like an
explosion. 1t was a short word, but
its mingled growl and roar voiced
revenge for treason at Baltimore and
all the pent up hate of two years re-
Election.
When the House heard the Speak
er's vote and recalled the events of
the last two years there went up a
round OF applause seldom equalled in
that body.

JUSTICE LURToN AND TAFT

Justice Lurton, though a Demo
Graf, was judge after Mr.. Taft's own
heart, and he ignored political con
siderations in appointing him to the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Taft did not
play politics in selecting judges. That
was one of the executive functions
which he discharged with distin-
guished disfnterestedness and high
mindedness. The trail of the political
serpent might be plain on the tariff,
but when it came to the bench Mr..
Taft warned all politicians off the
grass. And his attitude toward the
judiciary was due not only to pride
in his profession, but to sincere con.
viction that the welfare of the coun-
try depended to a large extent on
maintaining a high standard among
its judges. The suggestion has already
been made that Mr.. Wilson should
appoint Mr.. Taft as Justice Lurton's
successor. If he should do so, he
would undoubtedly nominate man
who is in every way qualified for that
position and who would bring to the
discharge of its duties almost pre-
cisely the same judicial qualities and
temperament for which Justice Lur-
ton was distinguished. But if he
should appoint him, there would be
at least one judge to whom Mr..
Roosevelt would be more than willing
to apply his theory of judicial recall.

GROWING SHORTAGE OF
FOOD PRODUCTION ALARMS
Necessity for Variation of Products

Necessity for Variation of Products
by Individual Farmers Apparent.
Eight years ago our imports of
chilled and frozen meat from the
United States were valued at over
100000 pounds ($25,O00,0OQ). In 1912
they had sunk to $4,000 pounds ($75.-
oOO). This is by far the most striking
change that is at present taking place
in the food trade conditions of the
world. 1t means that the once-great
export meat trade of the United States
is now practically non-existent. and
that unless the Americans take stems
to increase their home production OF
this staple article of food, they will
not only cease to export, but will be.
come to an increasing extent, rival
buyers in the markets of the world
with ourselves and other nations. We
are also threatened with the same
menace in the egg trade by the United
States and Germany, both of which.
instead of being able to supply their
own demand for eggs, are now buying
from Denmark. Russia and other
countries, from whom we have hither-
to derived supplies. "-(London Times
