DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY
TO VOTE FOR HUGHES.
He Says Wilson Has Failed to Enforce
Pure Food Law.

Il favor the election of Mr.. Hughes
10 the Presidency for entirely differ
ent reasons than those held by most
of his supporters. 1t is not because
of the Mexican policy nor the foreign
policy of the Administration nor by
reason of its domestic policies. 1t Is
because of the apparent Indifference
of the Administration of President
Wilson to the cause of pure food and
drugs. Practically all of the abuses
which We're injected into the Pure
Food Law by the preceding Admins
trations are still in force Benzoate
Of soda "a still regnant. The fumes
Of burning sulphur are marching along
undisturbed. There is evidently lull
in the activities Of the Administration
of the law. A well-known beverage. de
clared by the Supreme Court misbrand
ed and amenable to the Food Law has
not been molested. No attempt has been
made to enforce the law in regard to
the bleaching of flour. The repeal Of
the mixed flour law, that splendid
safeguard to the purity of our bread
has been tncitly approved by tn,
Treasury Department.
Mr.. Hughes In his activities on
the Supreme Court has stood like n
stone wall for the proper Administra
ton of the Food Law. believe his
election would see a radical chang,
In the attitude OF the government,
towards pure food and pure drugs. ST.
vital to the welfare of our people
For this reason. I sincerely hope thai
Mr.. Hughes may be chosen as our
next President.
II should expect Mr.. Hughes a.
President to have the same attitud,
toward the pure food and drug law
that he had as n judge on the bench
and 10 appoint n secretary OF agri
culture with subordinate officers VIII.
would be enthusiastic and earnest II
the enforcement of the pure food law
for the benefit of the physical. men
tai and moral welfare of our people"

NO ONE WAS AFRAID OF
HAITI.

Haiti did not behave as badly
to us as Mexico behaved; but
! Mr.. Wilson intervened, fought
the Haitiens. shedding their
: blood and the blood of our
3 troops, took possession and now
has our. armed forces in control
of Haiti and directing its gov
ernment. His course Of action
In Haiti can be defended only
II his course of action in MeN-
co is unqualifiedly condemned;
for such action was far more
needed in Mexico than in Hal
II. But there was a difference
In the two cases; and TO Mr..
Wilson Il was vital difference.
Haiti WIS weaker than Mexico.
No one was afraid of Haiti

One of the most interesting things
among the many interesting things
found in the Message this week is
the article regarding a Revolution
airy Father, Captain zealy Moss, who
was the great grandfather of Mrs. c.
A. Smith, Mrs. E. c. Kennen and
Mrs. Robert Ferris of Laddonia, this
county. It's a piece of local history
worth while. The Message hopes to
begin the publication of a series of
articles along this line soon, and it
will all concern Audrain county peo-
pie, too.
