TON|CS EXPOSE
CONCLUDED

The staff Of the Federal Food
and Drug Administration of the
Department. of Agriculture this
week concluded a long and color
full series of exposes of patent
medicine quackeries, winding up
the series with a puncture of the
blood tonic" fad.
The specialists Of this bureau,
all skilled in pharmacy and medi-
cal practice, have spiked in this
series of articles wild and un-
founded claims of scores of many
panaceaS and pills.
Following the lead of the Bu-
reau Of Investigation of the
American Medical Association,
these official guardians of the
citizens health broadcast that
cancer is not durable: that
poisonS from the digestive tract
do not get into the blood and
that a tonic couldn't do any good
if they did; that the human
blood is invariably about as pure
as anything gets in the world;
that several kidney diseases are
incurable; and that certain speci.
fled "tonics" usually depend upon
a strong proportion of EPSON salts
in them to work the desired re-
juVenation.

RULE
ST|RS TALK

Sentiment seems to be divided
this week over the amendment,
successfully sponsored by Senator
La Toilette, to the economy bill
in the Senate which limits admin
istrative furloughs to go days, in
stead of 80 days.
Government officers who hoped
to avoid impounding salaries in
case of vacancies, by "furlough-
ing" employees instead of actually
discharging them, find the new
limitation likely to be expensive.
Federal employees are discussing
their angle Of it. Some claim the
60-day limit will prevent them
from being laid off the extra
month; others fear the limitation
will mean actual discharges.

Retrenchment Policy

The legislative situation as per-
tains to more than a half million
Federal employees remains tense
If practically motionless as the
week ends with the rank and file
of Uncle Sans workers still, as
anxious about their jobs and pay
scales as their executives are
about maintaining all their bu-
reaus and functions.
, With a 5 per cent horizontal
slash in all appropriations, as
asked in the Bratton amendment,
still a menace as the Treasury
Post Office bill awaits action in
the conferees' committee, a po-
ltical plan is being pressed today
which would give the President
elect sweeping economy power,
with a possible 10 per cent slash
in all appropriations being men,
toned by some prophets.
,> Only Three Weeks Left
With just three weeks remain
ing for the Seventy-second Con-
eress to pass supply bills for all
Federal functions for the fiscal
year 1888, beginning in July, Gov
ernment workers are ending this
week with their morale at the low
est ebb in many years. The Sen
ate'S slash of one-third from the
Interior Department appropriation
did not relieve the tension, nor did
the slash of two-thirds from the
Federal Trade Commission funds.
!, The Independent Offices supply
. bill, now awaiting Senate COM
: nittee action, is being watched
~keenly by the 64,603 workers in
these offices, particularly the 37,-
203 in the Veterans Administra-
tion who will feel most per
cent cut.
The Veterans Administration is
asking $1,000, ,399,427 for the COM
. ing fiscal year. Of this, only
$116,690,000 can be reduced; the
rest is for pensions, ETC., which
must be paid. Only about $780,
100000 represents salaries. A S
per cent reduction Of the billion
dollar general appropriation would
be $50,000.OO0. If this entire re-
duction were taken from the salary
:. total, it would eliminate five
sixths of the total personnel of
the bureau. Even taking half of
the reduction out of the per-
Sonnel payroll, and half out of the
hospital, home, domiciliary and
other funds, would cause dismissal
of thousands of these workers.
: p. o. Department Similar
The Post Office Department is
similarly situated; only II per
cent of the $731,95O,961 it asks
for the 1884 fiscal year will go to
= salaries. This department has dis
charged few employees although it
is over-manned throughout. Re
tirements, ETC., however, have let
5000 out since 1880, about 400 a
month, but any slash would mean
immediate dismissal of hundreds

Brown made this clear before the
House committee.

the legislative branch that it can
not transfer to the executive
branch.
To shirk these responsibilities
and transfer our duties even to
the President would be an act Of
cowardice and we would very
properly be rebuked by our con-
Stituents.
A courageous Congress can
meet the situation that confronts
us, and until the next Congress
fails to meet it's responsibilities
and carry out its pledges made to
the public, we should not even
consider setting up a dictatorship
in this nation, as has been sug-

UNDER STRICT
CENSORSHIP
Executives Keep Close Watch
on All Written Articles
and Radio Talks

The much-celebrated Barry case
in the Senate reminded old-timers
in Government departments that
many people do not realize that
a strict censorship is exercised
over articles and radio talks by
Government executives.
The censorship, however, is not
regarded as q handicap, but
rather an advantage. The prin-
ciple back Of it is that misin-
formation must no be given out
by subordinates, and that neither
Uncle Sans employees nor what
they know shall be commercial.
lied.
Restrictions Necessary
Members Of the Agriculture
Department are prolific writer's
for farm, business and other pub
lications, and they can earn much
extra money this way. But it
would never do for a minor en-
ploye in the Bureau Of Chemistry
and Soils, for instance, to write
as official and authoritative a
treatise on the best fertilizer for
roses, without it being checked
by superiors. Nor would it be
meet for an underling in the
Treasury Department, writing for
a popular magazine, to presume
to state the Administrations fiscal
policy.
They are thus restricted in their
subject matter, and what they
say, but nobody objects because
it is not only good taste, but pre-
vents any comeback later.
Radio Also Censored
Radio talks likewise are re-
stricted and censored. No Fed.
eral employe may give any official
information over the air without
having it checked first, nor in any
case may such a talk be "spon-
sored" or linked to any CONNER
cial affair.
Uncle Sam claims this censor
ship is as much for the protection
of his wards as it is to safeguard
the dignity and reputation of the
Government.

u.s.. SCIENTISTS
SCORE AGAIN

Government scientific workers
are doing all sorts of things these
days, which, to thinking persons,
are as significant as they are
spectacular.
Fisk Gerhardt and B. D. Ezell,
fruit specialists in the Depart
ment of Agriculture, have just
found out how to test the breath
ing of fruit much as doctors test
pulses and blood pressure. BY
knowing how fast and naturally
fruit is breathing while in stor-
age, they now can tell whether
stored fruit will actually ripen
when taken out; or whether it
is really dead" and will never
ripen; or whether it will ripen
too quickly or too slowly for COM
mercial purposes.
And, although they say little
about it, they expect their dis
coveries to help the fruit industry
a lot.

Captain Eikenboom, commander
of the battleship De Zeven Pro
vincien, which was seized by mu-
tineers, was relieved of his COM
mand today.
Captain Eikenboom will be

captured after Dutch seaplane
bombed it, killing 90 of the mu-
tineerS.

SOURABAYA, JAVA, Feb. Ii
G.N.SO.-Late Saturday night,
while some other officers and
were in our quarters aboard the
De Zeven Provincien, we suddenly
became aware the engines had
started and the ship was leaving
Olehle harbor.
We were informed that mutt
neerS had taken over the ship
They had overcome the officer of
the guard and threatened to mur-
der him and us Immediately if we
attempted resistance.
Decided to Wait
We could do nothing that night
separated as we were.
On Sunday life was normal
aboard ship, except that we Off
GERS were prisoners and De Zeven
Provincien was directed by the ma
tive crew. We tried to take over
the ship, but the mutineers fired
on us. No one was wounded. They
were trying to frighten us, but
they warned us another attempt
would mean death.
y Then came a radiogram stat
ing the squadron was under way
to intercept our runaway ship.
We decided to await events.
One officer tried to reach the
radio room to advise the squad
ron of developments, but a leader
of the mutineerS, a Dutch ma
Chinist named Bosschart, drove
him back.
Four flying boats flew over the
deck. We and the mutineers eX-
pected warning bomb only, but
the bomb struck the deck just
behind the pilots bridge. There
was a terrific explosion. Flames
shot up. The cries of the wound
ed were horrible.
= Just as the bomb hit, four
Dutch sailors jumped overheard.
They were rescued by tugs.
The mutineers finally realized
there was nothing for them but
unconditional surrender.
One slightly wounded Dutch
marine ran to the radio room
and flashed the message of sur
render. Then he sent an S Q S.
The ships sent lifeboats to De
Zeven Provincien. Officers came
aboard with revolvers drawn,
ordering the mutineers to throw
down their arms. The squadron
picked up the mutineers who had
abandoned ship in small boats.
