'Famous Chemist Believes the Heattt
of the Nation Demands Election
of the Democratic
Ticket :
By HARVEY W. WILEY.
-(Former Chief Cbomist of the U. Si
Department of Agriculture.)
My appeal is chiefly to those who!
like myself have been lift-long Repub-
licans. I believe that no kind of an
administration is going to ruin the
country. I have a high personal re-
igard for each one of the candidates for
president and vtoe-presldeent on alt
the tickets. All the political platforms
are mainly sound and all promise ef-
fort in behalf of the whole people. My
choice is not based on a platform. It
was determined by my Imprensions ot
the real attitude of the candidates re-
specting the public welfare. We are
creatures of heredity and environ-
ment. In our attitude towards great
public questions we are almost alto-
gether creatures of environment.
What two men are by environment
least likely to be swayed by special
interests and most likely to be Guided
by devotion to public welfare? Two
of tho candidate have already been
tried In the presidential chair and we
know by experience what may be ex-
pected if either of them resume his
former Beat on March 4 1913. Mr.
Roosevelt by reason of hla attitude to-
wards the food and drug act aban-
doned tho consumers of the country
to the rapacity of a few mercenary
manufacturers. Under authority o(
congress I had carried on extenni"
experiments with my uo-cailed poison
squad and found that certain sub-
stances viz. benzoic compounds sul-
phurous compounds and sulphate of
copper (blue etoue) were injurious to
health.
The law conferred upon rue as chief
of tho bureau of chemistry the duty
of acting an a grand Jury and deter-
mining whether foods and drugs were
adulterated c mlxbranded. Instead
of appealing from my decisions to the
courts as the Iw" requires) the users
ot these poison appealed to President
Roosevelt lie not vtily listened to
them but ho abrogated the plain pro-
visions .of the law appointed a board
not contemplated b" the law and di-
rected that these predatory Interests
rnii'Mt continue their attack on the
health of the people until this board
unknown to the law should decide
otherwise.
Can we safely trust the campaign
for public health to Mr. Roose.-elt? 1
cannot believe thai to be the proper
course. Mr. Taft inherited this ex-
ceedingly condition of affair
from his .'rci- Bur and baa not
only c ;i' ' ..i-t this Illegal board un-
der whose pufitaj;a adulterators are
ltf.il! pd"5t!l':g the people but he did
worse. In the matter of the adultera-
tion ot distilled beverage In which
Jtooscvolt upheld the legally consti-
tuted autuoritics Mr. Taft reversed
that policy and threw the mighty
weight of the executive office to the
support of the worst lot of adult ra
tors that ever disgraced a country.
Sir. '.Vilsua and l!r. Marshall by
their atrerueus i-!frts In behalf cf the
food laws of their respective states
have given a positive promise to end
such a threatening Mat of tirTnim
They wiil mipport to the utmost the
officials under the law who are trying
t- protect the public health and will
make short shrift of there who have
brousht about these present unbeera-
hie conditions.
Wilson and Marshall by their educa-
tion and eiiv iiumnttit are free from
bias In favor of prefatory interests
and are Inspired by true patriotic zeal
In behalf of public welfare.
j rapport the Democratic nominees
In full knowledge that many of the
prominent Democrats in congress have
been in full sympathy with the paraly-
sis of the food law In behalf of the
un'Mily dollar. Hut when the Demo-
cratic president and vice-president
lend the aid of their powerful sympa-
thy In behalf ot the public health
thoe of their own party not In sym-
pathy with them will be robbed of
thHr power for ettl. If !!.;:. 1 1 it or
Taft he chosen the soldiers of fraud
and adulteration will be imprt.gmiiiiy
entrenched fin another lour yours and
hem.oittea sulphites and adulterated

lease Of life
1 believe alpo that President Wilson
will renovate the department of agri-
culture reeking as it him been for
the past twelve years with scandals
and favoritism. He will nee to it Unit
thi bureau of animal Industry will
proteit public health Instead of
the efforts of the packers to sell dis-
eased meats under the deceptive
phrase "U. 8. Inspected and Passed."
Under President Wilson no more pin-
chots will be kicked out of the service
no more unspeakable McCabea s ill ex-
ercise .dictatorial powers. There will
he no more cotton leaks and jungle
atrorkies no nioro Everglade swin-
dles. Buccaneering boasting and

forts for the promotion of real agri-
culture and the public health

Concrete Illustration of What a Re-
publican Tariff Really Means '
Causes Workers to Think.
Concrete examples of how a pro-
tective tariff operates are causing the
working; man the "poor man" to do a
lot of thinking nowadays. He is be-
ginning to understand whether It is
not about time to call a halt on the
Republican practice of taxing the coat
off hia back and threatening him with'

he does not submit i

OKLAHOMA
COTTON I
GOOD SIMP
Bat ia Danger cf Frost
According to Mem-
phis Paper
Memphis Sept. 23. The Cummer-
ial appeal says today in its final
weekly summary of the season of cot-
ton crop conditions:
There are two distinct divisions of
the cotton crop this year and condi-
tions are so widely different in each
as to render it necessary to consider
iem separately.
West of the Mississippi river the
crop has advanced in good Bhape for
learly the entire season. Tlte plant
is well advanced and much picking al
ready has been done. Taken as a
whole the crop on that side of the
stream is from 60 to 7.) per cent open
ed although in Oklahoma there is
probably more late cotton than in any
other state. Much of this is in danger
of froht. In the wet the plant is
heavily fruited
-most correspondents
say.
In the east only a small portion ef
the crop is opened although it .U es-
itnared that a very small portion is
n danger of frost of average date ex-
ept in Tennessee where the plant is
Kill vigorous 'i he plant over the en-
ire section is late hut has not fruited
heavily estimate place it from 50
to 7o per cent of last year and as
iiiere is little premise of top crop it
s believed that lucking when once
well started will be over in a short
'line.
Tho Insect damage to crop has been
'mail. Considerable boll weevil navel
appeared in Mississippi and Louisiana
but a fairly good crop was made he-
ore their appearance.
Reports of correspondents say:
Carolina Crop much below last-
year little danger from frost.
Georgia Crop very short from r.O
to cr per cent of last. year. Almost no
danger of frost.
Alabama Estimates average fruit-
age at about two thirds that ot last
ear.
Mississippi Crop very spotted.
Some sections expect good crop oth-
rs poor but. nearly all below last
vear.
Tennessee and Missouri Good crop
promised but it is late and in dangee
from frost.
Arkansas Much diversity of opin-
ion but generally below last year.
Oklahoma Most es'imates for best
yield in history ot state with late
rost.
Texas Average about the same as
last year.
Louisiana Fruited about like hist
yer.i- im more of it may escape boll
weevils.

Mexican Federals
Trapped by Rebels
Monterey Mexico Sept. 23. A small
body of federals numbering about 1 00
who were sent to drive the rebels from
La Harbia ranch eseapi 1 annihilation
Ht weer completely routed although
it is said only ten were killed. Tho
news of the defeat was brought here
by one fleeing soldier who said that
the federals had gained La Rosita pass
and there for three hours sustained
tho rebel fire and due to the excellent
location held the position losing none
of their men. The rebels ceased fir-
ing and withdrew apparently abandon-
ing their work. The federals resumed
their march and fell into the ambush.
Gen. Jtlanquet who hn.s been stationed
at Pedricena Is said to be on the way
to Musquiz at the head of a force to
deal vengeance.
Marcel Caraveno commanding the
rebels it Is said to be one of the Cara-
zagalan brothers who proved the au-
thor of the new revolutionary move-
ment which developed a few weeks

FATHER HAS A RIGHT
TO DEFEND DAUGHTER
Oklahoma City Sept. 23. That a
father has a right to slay in defense
of his daughter was the decision hand-
ed down by Chief Justice of the Crim
inal Court of Appeals Henry M. Fur-
man iu reversing the five year sen
tence imposed upon C. M. Litchfield
of Wynnewood for killing William
Collins while in the act of assaulting
his daughter.
The chief justice in reversing the)
lower court said: "We cannot imag-
ine a more grievous affliction that
can befall a father than to witness
the attempt to debauch his daughter.
j Such an act would cause the trees and
I stone to call out shame and light the
I fires of hell in his heart and cause
his reason to reel and stagger. To
every true father his daughter is the
core of. his heart the joy and inspira-
tion of his life. He would suffer a
thousand deaths to save her from
shame."
Collins had lured Litchfield's 1C-year-old
daughter to a lake near
Wynnewood and attempted to assault
her when her father came upon them
and shot Collins dead.

Deep Impression on Soldiera
From the Front.
There Is so much that Is painful and
dbtressing about war that every sol-
dier who has served at the front must
bring back with him many memories
that he would gladly forget. Hut there
are gracious and touching incidents as
well one of which a Companion sub-
scriber who fought through the Civil
war thus recalls:
"Just alter tho second Rattle ot Dull
Run and that of Chantiliy whil' the
Union army lay near Alexandria and
Fairfax Court House a certain Mas-
sachusetts battery was oidered back
to Washington to help garrison the
capital.
"On the outskirts of Alexandria the
column was halted with its head op-
posite a little story-nnd-a-h;Uf cottage
surrounded by an unpainted picket
fence. As the halt was ordered the
door of the cottage opened and old
white-haired man came down the
Etep3 toward the road with his hand
raised toward the flag was was car-
ried as the guidon of the battery.
"The color-bearer released the staff
from its socket and lowered it to the
ground and the old man who had by
this time come up to the line drew
the flag toward him reverently raised
It to his Hps turned and without a
word walked back into house.
Tho Incident made a deep impres-
rlon on the men who saw It. It meant
more to those soldiers who were
t earing the brunt of a hard campaign
than a score of eloquent addresses on
patriotism and the love of country.
Who the old man was we never knew."
