It s a surprise to the country that the tricks of trade condemned by Dr. Wiley, the agricultural department ex- pert, should have won out through the decision of an expert commission avhich did not sustaln the findings of Dr. Wiley. After a great battle of over twenty years and a seeming trumph, it is dis- couraging to see the use of benzoate of soda endorsed, formaldehyde and other digestive-checking and health- impairing ingredients O. K.-ed, The battle is on again and the makers of pure foods are out for the pure food law in support of Dr. Wi- Jey. This is what a leader says: “It {s becauso of this drug (benzoate of soda) the unscrupulous manufac- turer {s enabled to realize large prof- its by employing In his product raw ‘materials that are unfit and unwhole- some to the point of exciting extreme disgust at their mers mention, “Wherever I have found a man who was an adultersr of foods, a swindler of the public, a seller of foods that| were injurfous to the health of the comsumer, I invariably found that man to be an enemy of Dr. Wiley." That fits the situation. With a Jmowledge of th things the people should support all the pure-food ad- vocates and give iIndividual attention to the purity of the food they pur- chase. The people must protect themselves | since congress cannot be depended upon to do it. UP TO THE GOVERNMENT. The indications now are that the American congress will make a move to clear the wreckage of the battle- #hip Maine from Havana harbor, Hith- erto the constant appeals of patriotic Americans have had no effect, because it 1s necessary to secure, by a treaty or otherwise, the consent of the re- public of Cuba to the authorities of the United States entering the har- bor of Havana and proceeding with the work of removal; but now Govern- or Magoon declares that the sunken ‘battleship is a serious menace to the shipping of the harbor as it occuples a portion of the best anchorage The obstruction has increased annually during the past ten years by causing a shoal. It will be necessary, In a short time, to begin dredging in order to provide proper anchorage for the large amount of shipping now entering the harbor unless the wreck is removed. Even more important than this ob- struction to navigation s the fact that this wreck, although it contains the bodies of sixty-thres Americgn sea- men, or what is left of them, is ap- parently abandoned and forgotten by the government and people of the United States. It has become a na- tional reproach and an international scandal, and that the necessary per- mission’ from the Cuban government ean be obtained and that the Cubans would gladly afford all the assistance in their power to accomplish the desired result, not only because of the injur; to the harbor facilities, but also be- | cause of the prompting of patriotism | and sentiment. There remains no excuse or defense for further negligence of such patriotic duty, a e WIRELESS SHOULD BE MADE COMPULSORY. The saving of the passengers of the | Republic because of her ability to re- pert her plight by wireless and the prompt _responses which doubtless saved over one thousand lives, has shown that it is akin to criminal neg- | ligence for large passenger ships to be | plying the ocean without this additional means of protection for their passen- | gers, Attention is being called to the fact | that in these days of fast ships a| fiyer would require comparatively few hours to cover say two hundred miles in reaching the point where her serv- | ices were needed. The Mauretania is | coming this way, for instance, at the present moment, at a 26-knot gait, hour over wintry seas. Summoned by a | distress signal caught by her wireless, half a day would be sufficlent to put her alongside a vesse] four hundred miles distant when the appeal was recelved. There would be a challengeq to break all records that no seaman could or should resist. The declaration s timely that “the adoption of the wireless should be no longer left to the chances of owner- ship being progressive, but should he made compulsory, like ships' lights. In fog it is the great, indeed the great- est, reliance of captains who cannot see the stern from the bridge, much less another vessel closs at hand. Whistles are not entirely trustwor- thy, and indeed under certain condi- tlons may confuse quite as much as enlighten, Fog is the one great ob- stacle to safe and speedy navigation, | against which sclence has made lit- tle progress. Science cannot re-en- | force eyes or glasses to the point that will penetrate the curtain of the fog, but indirectly science by the wireless telegraphy can throw out warnings which if not complete are of mighty assistance to the puzzled man on the bridge who 1s enabled to pick them up” Tie Norwich Bulletin sighs for the &oua old days when men Rid not ~orry about what they ate and drank, which would naturally encourage the sup-| position that The Bulletin is furtively slapping the temperance movement.— Middletown Sun.

A GREAT EVANGELICAL CAM- PAIGN. The great evangelical campaign of & month's duration, with 60 evangel- ists in active employmeat, Will inter- est church people in all parts of the country. A Boston paper, concerted opening Tuesday, sald: In the projected revival there is perhaps the largest concentration of religious organizations and forces that Boston has ever known. The move- ment follows a different plan from most of the evangelizing enterprises of the past. Tt is a simultaneous ef- fort of a hundred and fifty churches of various| denominations, with, evening ‘centers’ for gathoring in those who are stil] unchurched and unrespon- sive to the ordinary religious appeals. Some preliminary work was dome in various pulpits yesterday, From one of them it was stated that while the usual revival meetings convert the sinner for only a short time, after which he relapses into his old life, the aim of the present movement is not only to win men but to hold them. These meetings are planned to ap- peal to the consclence as well as to the emotions. That is certainly essen- tial to permanent results. Too often when emotions have been stirred they have been mistaken for the voice of consclence, and when they have sub- sided this bulwark of conduct s too often found not to have been affected. “However opinions may differ as to method, the end in view must appeal to all good citizens who can certainly see nothing but good in whatever pro- motes moral and spiritual uplift, be- cause that {nevita¥ benefits the clvic and social life as well as the life of the individual. Tt is not a question now as to the expediency of the plan. That has been decided upon and is at once to be put In operation and no ob- stacles should he placed in the way of giving it the fullest and freest trial, with a hope that the results will be all that are anticipated.” A RISING WAR CLOUD. The rising war cloud to which The Bulletin would call attention is not hanging over Brazil or Japan, but over Long Island, and since it is not a war of conquest but simply an eco- nomic strife, it promises to spread. Massachusetts and Connecticut are aging an economic war against the gypsy moth, New Jersey against the mosquito and San Francisco against the fleas, and now war has been com- menced against the rats of Gowanus bay, with & view of thelr extermina- tion. Tt has been estimated by the United States department of agriculture that the damage done annually to food products, grain, buildings, etc., by the gnawing of rats and their destruction of edible stores, aggregates at least $160,000,000. 1t is believed that $160,000,000 a year is too much to sacrifice to rats, to say nothing of these rodents as mul- tipliers of other vermin and spread- ers of disease, New Jersey thinks its $8,000,000 of loss s worth saving: San Francisco had to end its rats to enl its fleas; and Connecticut will find it profitable to _get rid of her rodents. The anti-rat war, which has been commenced at the Erle basin under government supervision, is carried on by means of a virus discovered by the director of the laboratory of agricul- tural bology in the Pasteur Institute, Paris, It has been used successfully in France and England. It is not a polson, is Innocuous to children, to cats, dogs, chickens and animals not It fnoculates the rats with a 1 which they die In a few it is administered to them diluted and spread on bread or bisc and then placing it where rats can get it.

The storekeeper ap- pealed to the lounging group about the stove.
