DR.. Harvey w. Wiley has an article
on pure food legislation in the Octo.
Der. 1918 number of "Good House
keeping Magazine" in the introduc-
tion to which it is stated:
"The fight for pure food is not to
be lightly won. Men who make
money by adulterating food OF by
doping rotten food to conceal it's con-
dition are not going to reform-and
lose their pro6ts-until an iron hand
that never falters is closed upon
them. In that there is fighting in
every state, there is hope for the
pure foodist, but there is danger that
the people will withdraw their sup
port through Indifference. Food
poisoners never lose interest: the
fight against decent laws in all the
States proves that. You may be able
to eat doped food without apparent
harm; you probably had food of un-
questionable purity when you were q
child. Your children need it now.
They could have it but for the Grimm
al, unscrupulous greed of manufac-
turers who wont sell anything pure
if by adulterating they can add to
their profits. Such men are a
menace, they fight for themselves all
the time. They will quit adulterat-
ing and poisdt only when they are
compelled to. w ~ should be COM

GOVERNOR BYRNE ON
STATE EXPENDITURES

Much is said about the increase in
state expenditnres.~in-. the past ten
years. In point of fact such expendi-
lures have just about kept pace with
the increase of population in the
state. A statement prepared last
winter by Mr.. Anderson, the present
state auditor, and stalwart candidate
for governor. gave thet amount of
expenditure, and the per capita ex-
penditure for each of the nine years
from 1904 to 1912, inclusive, showing
that the per capita expenditure for
1904 was 1884 and in 1912, $2.66. That
is, in the latter named year, it cost
each man. woman and child in the
state S2.66 to maintain the state gov
ernmeDt and all of its activities, in
clnding the university, the college of
agriculture, the four normal schools,
the school of mines, the school for the
deaf, and the school for the blind,
the training school, the hospital for
the insane, the home for the feeble
minded. the penitentiary, the supreme
court, the 70 circuit courts, the food
and drug department, the insurance
department, the state fair, and all OF
the activities of the state of every
kind. Dividing the population into
families of five, this would make a
cost of $3.50 family, to sustain the
state government. In the year 1905
the population of the state was 1885,
1856, and the state tax extended was
e87s, 1923. In 1913 the population was
6l5, ,17S and the state tax extended was
81, ISL 1851 being in each instance 81. SO
per capita; put in 1918 S465, ,725
was appropriated for permanent i'm
provements for state buildings and
grounds, which amounts to Is cents
per capita, while in the year 1905
only $175, 100, or Al cents per capita,
was appropriated for this purpose.
And this question of expenditures,
90 we are told by the opposition, is
the main issue before the people of
the state at the coming election.
They ate careful not to designate any
department, school or institution for
which too much money is appropriat-
cd. / challenge them to state speci

progressive republican senators in
favor of the amendment, which made
heavy reductions in that schedule.
(Cong. Record, page s277, July 81,
19l1.) In 1909 he had stood, as bovo
stated with Borah, Dixon and Bourne,
supporting the people of the four
states they represented, to maintain
the wool schedules-the western pro-
gressives taking a different stand
than did the eastern progressives,
because of the sheep industries in the
west.
AS to Senator Crawford's having
voted against LaFollette's amend.
ment creating a tariff commission,
the Dakotan's statement is equally
misleading. Twice had he voted for
these amendments in course of the
debates id COMMITTEE of the whole"
! in the Senate-one being Delivers
amendment, the other LaFollette's
amendment; and after exhaustive
debate those amendments had been
defeated. When LaFollette again
offered his amendment in the Senate,
Senator Crawford, realizing that it
would be useless to further debate
the proposition then, voted virtually
not against the proposal for tar
itf revision. but against re- e-opening a
futile debate on it at that time. And
Progressive Senators Borah, Dixon
and Bourne voted as Ae did. page
4s1s)
So that it comes to this: That out
4 of the 120 roll-calls on the Payne-A AL.
drich bill, the Dakotan finds fault
with Senator Crawford's record in
only 20 instances, and in Is of those
instances he voted according to ur-
gent instructions from our legislature,
passed short time before the voting
commenced. Would the standpat-
: ters have had him ignore those in
rstructions? And with him, in all of
: the other five instances, two to four
progressives voted the same as did
Senator Crawford. He voted 81 times
\ to lower duties in the Senate, and
voted against the bill On final pas
sage. (Cong. Record, Vol, IA, Pag,
43l6) Ae declares in his Sioux Falls
i speech that the record shows that
Burke voted only six times against
Payne, Aldrich, Dalzell and Cannon,
and that in three out of six roll-cal lis
he vated for higher duties than they
recommended. He says: II voted
for lower duties just seventeen times
as often as Mr.. Burke. He voted for
the bill upon it's final passage in the
House. voted against the bill on
: it's final passage in the Senate .
Do the standpatters, including the
Dakotan editor, imagine they can
fool the voters by this sharp practice
of attempting to array Senator Craw-
ford with Aldrich, and by falsifying
the record of Crawford, who has
stood for progressive republican prin-
ciples and for the interests of his con-
stituents as voiced by the South Da-
kota legislature2 If 80, it is predict.
ed that they will be a disappointed
lot when the votes at the primary are
counted.

HIS ENTRY WAS GIVEN ALL
SORTS OF ABSURD POLITI-
CAL SIGNIFICANCE.

ATLANTA.-In a letter to A. H.
Ulm, secretary of the democratic
state executive committee, Hon. S.
Guyton McLendon, who recently
stated he was in the race for gov
ernor, announces that he will not
seek the office.
Mr.. McLendon's entry into the race
was given all sorts of absurd pOliti-
cal significance. 1t was said that the
Smith people had put him in the race.
This was denied and the counter
claim was made that the Brown peo-
pie were responsible. Many said that
he was Tom Watson's candidate, and
others claimed that his candidacy
would have helped J. r. Anderson.
Mr.. McLendon, however, has put
at rest the whole matter by writing
the following letter:

Is Done For the Purpose of Impress
ing Upon the People Import
ance of Tilling Earth.
Now that China has become re-
public and the old order of things is
changing so rapidly will any one
make it his business to attend to the
important ceremony of the early
blowing, which from time immemo-
rial has been performed by the Chi
nese emperors in the sacred field near
Pekin?
This curious ceremony was OBJ
served for the purpose of impressing
upon the Chinese people the import
ance of tilling the earth and stick
ing to the farm. The emperor, ac-
companied by his retinue, was accus-
toned to proceed in great state to
the sacred field. At each of the four
corners of the field stood a pavilion,
where the seeds of wheat and other
cereals were kept. In the middle of
the field numbers of magnificently
attired courtiers held aloft many col
ored flags, while thousands of farm
ers looked on, each holding some ag-
ricultural implement in his hand.
Placing his left hand on the plow
and holding a whip in his right hand
the emperor began the ceremony
By prearrangement the officers did
their allotted shares, some welding
hoes and others scattering seeds out
of baskets, as if sowing them, while
the emperor was busy with the plow,
which was hitched to a richly capari-
soned bullock, draped in yellow and
led by two of the emperor's body
guard.
When the emperor finished his
stunt at the pillow the royal princes
went through a similar performance,
and after them nine of the highest
courtiers took turn. Thus the cere-
mony was completed and the royal
plowman and his train returned to
the palace.
