Position as to Dried Beans.

! The federal department OF agri-
culture has been requested by many
growers and shippers to define its
position with respect to the applica-
ton; Of the federal food and drugs
act to. the, transportation In inter
state commerce Of dry pea or navy.
medium. and kidney beans. These
requests have been prompted by. the
action of the department in recon-
nnending seizures OF Gulf beans in
sacks and of beans In cans which
were found upon examination to con
tain considerable percentage. of beans
which were wholly or; in part filthy
decomposed or putrid.
Under the federal food and drugs
act, beans, in common with other ar
ticles Of food, are adulterated IL
they consist "in whole or in, part
OF 2 filthy, decomposed or putrid
animal or vegetable substance"
Gull" beans, in the opinion Of the
department. usually contain consid-
cradle percentages of beans which
are wholly or in part filthy or de-
composed and are therefore adulter-
ated. The, shipment in. Interstate
commerce Of such beans. for food
purposes Is. prohibited by the act.
No objection is entertained, how
ever. to the interstate shipment Of
"cpll' beans for industrial purposes
or for use other than as food for
man IL they are first treated by grind
ing or otherwise so as to render
them unavailable for use as food for
man.
The department is informed that
dry pea or navy, medium, and kid
ney beans intended for use as food
for man are sent customarily, by the
growers to elevators where the beans
are sorted by manipulating SO as to
eliminate the beans which are wholly
OF in part filthy. decomposed, OF
putrid. 1t has been represented that
In the process of manipulating nearly
all moldy or musty beans, are re-
moved, but that it is not practicable
to remove all beans which are
slightly decomposed. The depart
ment: has not recommended the
seizure Of dry and mature pea or
navy, medium or kidney beans
which have been hand-picked In ac-
cordance with good commercial prac-
tice.

only has 1t failed to reduce the cost
Of living, 1t has made it harder for
men and women to buy the things

closing manufactures or making 1t
impossible for them to operate full

Penitence or Politica2I

One year ago the, secretary OF the
navy told an astonished nation that
the American, fleet was in, state
Of complete preparedness, Some
what later naval experts concurred
In q report setting forth the solid fact
that it would take five years Of real
work to prepare the fleet.
One year ago the president Of the
United States knocked the proposals
Of the secretary OF war Unto a
cooked hat" by a message which de-
stroyed the sensible and excessively
modest suggestions of Mr.. Garrison.
This is the record Of. the present
administration in the. matter Of ma
tional preparedness.
Now, finally, after we have been
on the edge of war. Mr.. Wilson gives
his sanction to a proposal to Increase
the army and the navy. The de-
.lails of the plan remain unknown
but the public is promptly informed
Of the cost. This is patiently an
effort to stimulate enthusiasm and
Rccelorate popular applause.
II the present administration hon
estly favors some step, some rea-
sonable program OF national prepar-
edness both for. the army and for
the navy, 1t will have the support
Of the country as a whole. without
regard to party. But there is, not
the smallest reason yet. to believe
that the administration is dong
more than experimenting in words,
without any sincere intention to act.
