of the fight and tried to forget the aching dis

knocked him down.

duly against the Soldiers chin and he fell on

over the ropes onto the knees of the reporters.

DIR. Wiley


DR.. Harvey w. Wiley is dead at the age of IS.
All over the country men and women will remember
his service in protecting them and their children
from adulterated foods which common until
he won his fight for federal pure food laws.
We join in that tribute to a great public servant
and to courageous reformer.
But DR.. Wiley would not appreciate lip service to
his memory by friends or followers who forget that
this country still has long way to go before it
achieves adequate er orcement of the pure food laws
much less the need.~ modernzation of those laws.
No one knew that better than Dr. Wiley. In the
autobiography published shortly before his DEATH
he wrote:
mo attempt is made at the present time to
troll the bleaching of flour, yet under the food law
the bleaching of -four is declared offense against
the law
Similarly, attempt is made today to prevent
the addition of benzoate of soda to food product
as a preServative, although its use is prohibited
under the law.
Likewise, no restriction is made at the present
time against the use of saccharin in foods largely
because the attempts to restrict its use made
in such bunglng manner as not to secure approval
OF the jury before which the trials made
Alum can be put in foods without restriction,
although all other countries, so far as I know have
ruled that alum is an adulterant."
The administration in Washington has on its
hands more than one job of law enforcement.

Misrepresenting Indiana

Three millions of Indiana citizens, more
or less and probably many less, last night
listened to the broadcast by twenty-five
governors of as many states.
Among them was Governor Harry G.
Leslie Of Indiana.
Those who listened will bear witness to
the fact that he brought new and most un-
enviable distinction to this state.
He was the only Governor who reverted
to near profanity and vulgarity.
The Times submits that "Wot to ELF IS
not expressive of Indiana. The Times sub
mits that the state deserved better than this.
The Governors Of other states will return
home to receive the thanks of their citizens.
The people of Virginia will applaud their
spokesman who told of great men and other
days when men thought of Liberty.
New York will receive and embrace the
new Roosevelt who spoke in terms of idealism
and gave thought to new day for this ma
ton.
The people of Minnesota will long remem-
Der it's Christianson, who spoke with real
sympathy for the principles Of free thought

Perhaps the people of Indiana will forgive
Leslie his profanity in an hour when pro-
family was unnecessary. 1t may forgive him
his crudeness.
But Indiana will not forget that at such
an hour and with such an opportunity, Leslie
forgot the greatness of Indiana.
No other Governor had such chance.
No other state had James Whitcomb Riley
to speak in the terms of poetry of the COM
mon people-and him Leslie forgot.
No other state had Lew Wallace VINO
inspired the nation. And he went unsung
and unhonored.
No other state had that great apostle OF
child liberty and Beverage was unnamed.
No other state has Booth Harrington,
a George AIDE, a Meredith Nicholson-great
men of literature.
It's warriors, its statesmen, It's patriots,
its leaders were forgotten. And Indiana OF

Kansas City, made spectacle OF himself ana

The High Brow Boss

The average citizen carries around in his mind
stereotyped composite picture of the political boss.
He is squat and corpuent thug devoid of any neck
bald-headed, iliterate, eX-crook now plying his
trade in more elegant fashion leaking tobacco juice
and reeking with alcohol
No doubt there have been bosses who lived up to
these specifications But there have been bosses of
the greatest power and most sinister methods who
have been at the same time men of remarkable in
tellectual attachments and the highest culture.
The death of William Barnes, once the peerless
Republican boss of New York state and the most
powerful regular" in the national party in 1912,
brings back wildly to memory one of the most IL
lustrious of the highbrow bosses.
Many have supposed that Barnes was the con-
ventionaly low-lived bum who is believed to dom
mate partisan politics. To compare him with Roose-
welt or Wilson would be deemed by most moth
ing short of idiotc. Yet he was intellectually far
superior to either of them.
Roosevelt made far better showing at Harvard
than Wilson did at Princeton, but Barnes ranked
far ahead of Roosevelt in his achievements at
Harvard.
Not even at the height of Roosevelt's intellectual
powers did Barnes appear in unfavorable contrast.
The writer was a daily attendant at the famous
Roosevelt trial in Syracuse in the spring of
1915 He was a fierce partisan of Roosevelt but any
Barnes gave the impression of possessing better
trained and more nicely poised intellect The glamour
of Rooseves name was all that won the day for the
ex-Bull Mooser
Of like feather intellectually that sardonic
hulk Boies Penrose. The Pennsylvania car was in
his younger days talented scholar He was mem
Der of the noted seminar at Johns Hopkins university
conducted by Herbert Baxter Adams in which
woodrow Wilson received his doctors degree.
Penrose wrote creditable dissertation on local
government in colonial Pennsylvania. He easily
could have qualified professor OF history or
political science
Few would have suspected Penroses predecessor,
Matthew Quay, of any erudition. But Quay, who
was great student of the Bible, actually consulted
the word of God in the original Hebrew. This was
a feat which probably could not be duplicated by
one man of God in ten.
In short men of this type may to the gutter, but
they are not in the gutter because they are OF it.
To them it is apparently game which caresses their
lust for power and prestige They love to manipulate
people Holding that the latter "boobs," they
see no moral objection to moving them about like
pawns on chessboard.
Should we hang men like Barnes and Penrose
on higher gallows than the thugs who know no bet
ter? This is a delicate moral question which we
would be rash to rush into. And perhaps they are
right. Who knows?

milk of the mother is inadequate,
nor should a mother who is in poor
health and delicate be compelled
to nurse the infant when the child
itself is in good health and capable
of getting along very well with ar
tif1cial feeding.
Of greatest Importance is the
urging of breast feeding among
poor people who have not the same
facilities for carrying out satisfac-
torily artificial feeding that are
available in hospitals and in the
homes of the well-to-do.
Since tuberculosis is transmitted
directly from grown persons to an
infant, a mother with tuberculosis
should not be permitted to nurse
her child.
Neither is it advisable for a
mother suffering with advanced
stages of heart disease, Bright'S dis
ease or cancer to nurse the baby.
In mild cases of infection, or dis
turbance or Inflammation of the

easily digested by the infant than
is unmodified cows milk.
Finally, it is recognized that the
milk of the mother helps to supply
the infant with certain substances
which are of Importance in aiding
the child to resist disease.
Babies who are fed by their own
mothers are usually larger, healthier
and of better disposition than those
fed artif1cially.
Unfortunately, because of a va
riety of causes, breast feeding is not
always successful. The milk of the
mother may be inadequate in
amount for the infants need; be-
cause of the ill health of the mother,
the milk may be of poor quality.
Notwithstanding these facts, the
majority of specialists in diseases of
children are convinced that it is ad-
visable whenever possible to have
the baby nurse from the mother for
at least the first few months of life.
The nutrition of the infant
should not, however, be permitted
to suffer because the supply of the
