that three degrees of latitude reverses
all jurisprudence. "A Meridian" he
said, decides what is truth, funda-

be course fof hundreds of years the
bate gets through its program, and if
bill alive, starts all over. Thus we
ave the waves of reform, waves of
legislation devoted to some evil and
then lapses wherein the whole thing
is forgotten.
If legislators would confine them
selves to fundamental principles the
world would be every bit as good and
a much more pleasant place in which
to live. There are but few natural
crimes. All other crimes are origi-
mated or created to fit the temper of
the times, or the agitation of the
populace. And, be it remembered |
there is difference that is measure
able between passing a law and ac-
complishing a reform. If the public
generally would but realize that one
fact there would be less demand for
legislation for every real and imagin-
airy evil. With the thousands and
thousands of laws upon the statute
books of this country the people are
but mighty little better or happier
then they are in some other countries
which boast but small fraction of
Dur laws.

ings with his neighbors. The states
men of Europe say that the League
of Nations is the very thing if it will
do what its friends say it will do. The
chief trouble is that nobody believes
it will do those things if formed; and,
that to form the League will take sew
eral hundred years of education and
development.
As an illustration we find the
statesmen of Great Britain eager for
the League; in fact they are its warm
est friends; but those statesmen have
already notified everybody whom it
may concern that League or no
League England will maintain its sea
supremacy at any and all costs. Now
what do you make of that? Do you

DR.. H. w. WILEY EXPLAINS
DETERIORATION OF FOODS

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, former chief
Of the bureau of chemistry, explained
to the House agricultural committee
yesterday the deterioration of foods
in cold storage would not be uniform.
Fish and eggs, he said, could not
be stored without material deterior-
alton. while meats and other foods
were improved by storage.
r. S. French, representing the In
ternational Apple Shippers Associa-
tion, while not opposed to the suggest
ed limit of twelve months for storage
of foodstuffs, said production would be
stified if fruits and vegetables could
not be returned to storage if they
became a drug on the market.
Testimony regarding profiteering
and boarding in many Of the basic
industries was given to the House
appropriations committee, which was
considering appropriations for the
Federal Trade Commission. Commits
sioners William w. Colver and Victor
Murdock were witnesses.
Mr.. Colver told of numerous re-
sales of the 1919 vegetable pack
which is not yet completed and said
many of these were made for specula-
tive purposes. He suggested that this
condition be corrected by enactment
of appropriate legislation.

GRAIN AND LIVE STOCK
OUTPUT ENCOURAGED
Department of Agriculture Gives
Advice in Favor of Normal and
Well Balanced Production.

The Department of Agriculture yes
terday advised farmers of the country
to maintain grain and live stock pro-
duction, as all available information
indicates that there will be a con-
tinued strong demand for these prod
ucts.
The departments statement was in
reply to telegraphic inquiry from
the Indiana food committee. Al.
though it was announced that exact
world food conditions for 1890 can
not be accurately forecast at this
time, the department said it consid-
cred it a wise policy Ito maintain
normal acreages of fall wheat and
rye on middle west lands adapted to
those crops" adding that the need
is for well balanced, sane and efficient
production of staples, the demand for
which is reasonably certain, judging
from existing domestic and foreign
conditions"
1t is important" the announcement
said, TO restore meadows and pas
lures broken up during the war
emergency and to re-establish crop
rotations to prevent depletion of
crop fertility and afford sound basis
for maintaining well-balanced live
stock production. The department
sugg tests to farmers the adVisability
of maintaining their production Of
cereals. forage crops and live stock
on the basis of their accumulated ex-
perience with these. avoiding specu-
lative plunging in unbalanced produc-
ton, which involves undue climatic
and price hazards"

Although recommendations for min

the final tabulations will be ready by
November 1.
All questionnaires from former
members of the yeamen (F) battalion,
now employed at the Navy Depart
ment in civilian capacities and num-
bering between 1900 and 2,400, are
expected to be in the hands of the
commission by the latter part of this
week.
Listing of Engineers.
Distribution of questionnaires to
members of the American Association
of Engineers is proceeding as rapidly
as arrangements can be made. One
of the chief difficulties encountered in
the distribution of these question
naires has been to locate all the en-
gineers in the government service.
In many departments, it is pointed
out, there are men who are doing
work requiring engineering training
but who are not listed as engineers
and therefore cannot be located by
reference to any list of government
employees.
X. c. Bailey. secretary of the Amer
lean Association of Engineers, today an

training, or who is doing work of an
engineering nature, may obtain copies

ANARCHY IN NEW YORK

In the year OF 1902. the New York
legislature enacted new penal code in
which the following article appears:
Criminal anarchy is the doctrine that
organized government should be over
thrown by force or violence, or by
assassination OF the executive head or
Of any Of the executive officials OF gov
crnmcnt or by any unlawful means.
The advocacy Of such doctrine either by
word Of mouth or writing Is felony.
In the New York Supreme Court, a
few days ago. two men indicted under
this law were convicted Of criminal an

the penitcntiary. Here is sensible
