Washington Notes. In the past few days President Taft has acquiesced in, if not ac tually approved the effort to re move Dr. Wiley from the position of Chief Chemist of the Agricul tural department. This affair has developed the great political sen sation that Washington has ex perienced in more than a year. The great fruit canners through out the country were, before the pure food law was enacted, exten sive users of poisonous preserva tives in their canned goods Dr. Wiley as Chief Chemist of the Ag ricultural Department and there fore executive of the pure food law, has been relentless in his fight for pure food and he has struck sledge hammer blows at food adulterators and users of poisonous preservatives wherever he found them. These food manufacturers, which include meat canners of Chicago and elsewhere and vege table and fruit canners all over the country are anxious to have Dr. Wiley removed as thpy have power enough with the Republican party to name ‘ their own man as his successor.” They would then have no difficulty whatever with our pure food laws as they would own the Judge so to speak. The Standard Oil Company and other great companies do not care very much what kind of laws we pass because they are the ones who, through our Presidents, always name the Judges who nulify the laws and corporations escape the fines. The charge against Dr. Wi ley is thathe permitted a chemical expert assisant to draw a little larger salary than was authorized by the law. The law authorizes Dr. Wilev to pay $1,60) a year for an expert assistant, but the fact is, expert chemists cannot be had for such a price as that. So Wiley appointed Dr. Rushy, of New York, as his assistant at $1,600 per year, with the understanding that Dr. Rusbv would receive S2O a day for the work that he did in the labratory and under this arrangement he would not be working more than a part of the time, but would draw S2O a day out of the $1,600 per annum when he did work. Dr. Wiley’s department was investi gated by Attorney General Wick ersham, and he recommended that Wiley be permitted to resign. The fact of the matter is, the whole affair was trumped up to scare Dr. Y\ .k y into resigning. But those who thought be would resign have another guess coming to them. Dr. Wiley has rendered the greatest service to this country of any man alive today, and the ef fort which was made to oust him -resulted in letters pouring into the White House by the thousands. This whole affair shows how subservient the Republican party is to corrupt men and measures. The food canners of course will be heavy contributors to the republi can campaign fund next year if Wiley is fired, and Taft is willing if public opinion can be hush ed up, but it cannot be. It has now leaked out, that when Ballinger was trying to slip the valuable mineral lands of Alaska to the Guggenheim-Morgan crowd that Charles P.

The election of Hoke Smith, of Georgia, to the U. K. Senate has e icited a great deal of com ment in Washington It is gen erally expected that when he takes hie seat on the Democratic side of the Senate his colleagues will realize that a giant in honeßty, ability and patriotism has come among them, and that he will show the Bame leadership in the Senate that has characterized all his political activity. Father of 32 Children You know ise de man that had 82 chiluns, so spoke A.B.Burgess, colored, Monday to a reporter of the News, of course this was startl ing to the reporter, regardless that we are accustomed to hearing snake stories, etc., so of course several questions were put to the negro, so fast that he says, Say, Cap, you gwine putit in the paper? Ihe conversation between the neg ro and the reporter was something like this. Cap, I han’t seen my brothers for thirty years and want you to advertise and see if I can’t learn where dey is. llow many brothers have you? Four, was the quick reply. When did you hear from them? About thirty years ago, the negro said. We know our paper will do most anything, but whether it will bring the dead and lost back we can’t say, but tell us your name and address and we will try and help you find your long lost rela tives . M. B. Burgess is my name and I live at Areola, have 82 children, and— Here is where we interrupted the negro. Have 82 children and no dogs counted? No sah all boys and girls. No Billy Possums nor Teddy Bears thrown in,all children then, good Lord, was the faint reply to the negro’s broad grin. We are used to horrible reports of death and most any accident, but this was a little more than the reporter’s nerves could stand, and but for the gallantness of the devil (we mean the printer’s devil) no doubt there would have been some rash thing done, but after the devil had vouched for the story we proceed to take inall that poured from the gallant negro’s mouth. I have been married three times, have 10 children bv my first wife, 2 by my second wife, and 20 by my third wife. That’s enough, vou are excused, exclaimed the reporter, as any man that can live with three wives is liable to have most anything happen to him. Picture men are working again in some parts of the country. Yon give these fellows the picture of some member of the family They promise to enlarge and beautify it, giving your little one rosy cheeks and the fairest of faces, for a mere song. If you let them get this inch you will find that there is a good long ill hitch to the other end, when an altogether different man comes back with the picture, which you can get only by buying a costly frame. Sic ’em, Tige! The House of Lords evidently hasn’t heard about that the stand patters have been getting over on this side of the pond. iiiß nYUxNi BRuußx-c.-, JULY 2», lull. | Shoes of Quality Made to Wear j ♦ We are Exclusive Agents for ♦ * the Celebrated ♦ MADE ro/t VS BV ▲ t Peters Shoe Cq. . i ♦ Peters Shoes ♦ l MEN and WOMEN, j t ~, . . i. -PetersShoe Co . t 4 They are not so high in price but they ni 4 | are MADE OF SOLID LEATHER J|yi||L ♦ give good service and they are stylish* t * In fact they are the best value in Shoes < \ Ask the lady or gentleman who have worn a PETERS SHOE ♦ 4 and they will tell you* 4 4 Dry Goods, Notions.
