Investigate Sales
Cheap Grade Olive
Oil as "Superfne"

A. M. @. Soule. chief Of the In
spection Bureau Of the State agri-
cultural department, announced on
Wednesday that two Of his inspect
ors and L. s. Pennell are working
on a case In Rumford and vicinity
In relation to sales Of alleged adul-
terated olive oil.
"The Italians and Greeks in this
State use olive oil just as regularly
as the rest of us use butter, milk OF
eggs. This department Is just as
much bound to protect them from
any form of adulterated food as
would be the case If the general pub
lie was being swindled," said Mr.
Soule.
1--WE first learned Of this sales pro-
feet, which is probably just an out
growth of a similar system which
has been operating in Massachu-
sets and New York, through ship
ment of SO cases of olive oil bearing
the Italia brand which arrived IN
Portland last Friday.
A Dodge truck has been touring
the State, selling this olive oil to
the class of people who use 1t most
according to information gathered
by the inspectors. :,
They obtained samples OF the oil
which was sent to the agricultural
laboratory at Orono for analysis. II
proved to contain large amount OF
cottonseed oil, which, while moi
physically dangerous, cheapens the
oil to a point which makes the sell
ing of 1t fraudulent unless plainly
marked. There is nothing on the
cans to indicate that it is anything
but the very finest olive oil.

The Curtain DralUn

IN ACCORDANCE with an order adopted
i by three of the five members of the
federal trade commission secrecy will
henceforth be maintained in regard to the
greater part of the commissions activities.
The commission will abandon its prac-
tice of permitting publication of complaints
that are filed with it, unless such com
plants ultimately lead TO formal action
against the companies or individuals
accused of malpractice
If, as is frequently the case, the com
mission finds that company is practic-
ing deceit or unfair business methods and
the company agrees to quit such practice,
no publicity will be permitted.
This will remove all commercial con-
Germs we'll out of the danger zone of
unfavorable newspaper mention of their
misdoings. IL caught with the goods"
they have only to agree to stop commit
ting whatever crime they have been prac-
ticing, and the matter is ended, all in
secret.
Another harmful outgrowth of the new
order is that it absolutely STILES the voice
of the commissions minority members.
Heretofore, when the majority voted
against issuance of a complaint. the minor
ity had the privilege of making public
their dissenting views. Frequently this
prospect influenced the judgment of the
majority. who did not relish public inspec-
ton of their acts.
1t was as an outgrowth of the right of
the minority to publish its views that the
famous "Pittsburg plus" steel rate inves-
tigation was finally made, with the result
that discriminatory practices of nation
wide Importance we're ordered abandoned.
The three members of the commission
who voted for secrecy are Chairman Van
Fleet and Commissioners Hunt and Hum
phries. Former Chairman Huston Thomp-
son voted NO" The fifth member, Com
missioner Nugent, was absent, but would
have voted with Thompson had he been
present.

The Prohibition Question
Newspaper En-
tsrpTlEs Assn.
and Uutlsd
fyssf Services.

TINE tone of discussion MS TO prohibition
i of late indicates that we are getting
away from the bitter partisanship that has
colored the argument between Vets and
DryS for so long
The time may not be far distant when
this tremendous experiment in govern
ment may be discussed diSpassionately.
Only when the problem can be handled
scientifically, rather than politically, will
1t be solved satisfactorily,
If it is approached scientifically, the
question will be: What is the truth about
prohibition?
When ge get down to facts the prohibit
tionists have big advantage in the fact
that the eighteenth amendment was legally
adopted and the Volstead act was legally
and consttutionally enacted.
Their advantage is reinforced by the
opinion, or superstition, that the best way
TO kill bad law is to enforce it. But even
If there be conflicting opinions as to that
it is true that every officer of the law,
from the president on down, takes oath
when he takes office to enforce the law
II makes no difference whether he likes
the law or not
Those opposed to prohibition will have
TO prove their case. They viii have to con-
vince a big majority of the people, first
that the Volstead act is a bad law and
after that that the eighteenth amendment
should be stricken from the constitution
To prove their case they will have to
prove il by facts.
Propaganda either by professional vets
or professional dryS will not be convincing.
1t will be taken as prejudiced and partisan,
ike much of the political argument when
the republicans and democrats are fighting
for control of the goyernment-and the
offices.
If it were possible for an impartial body
Of scientists, including Psychologists, psy-
biologists and professors of law and gov
eminent, TO conduct survey of the entire
problem and get at the facts, some atten-
ton might be given to their report and con-
illusions.
Politics won't solve the problem. Sci
ence may,

he reflected upon her biscuits, Mrs. Walter

Don't the men have failures in their
work, also? But who ever heard a good
wife sit up and call attention to them?"
Millions have heard such, Mrs. Fergu-

hear it! Moreover, may the 0mnipotent
and 0mniscient preserve the criticism of
the good wife. OF course, the nagging,
fault-finding wife is not good wife, but
the husband who, in time of failure, can
not get hope, help and comfort from the
criticism of genuinely good wife is as
forsaken as lapdog without fleas enough
to remind him that he is dog. And
heaven be kind to the husband whose
good wife has criticism and doesn't let
it out, stove-lids barred.
