Whpn the State Fair, which orrure
the first week in September enrh
H'tiv, r mentioned, we often hear
questions like this: "Hoes the Mate
of Nebrnska have anything to do with
this fair?' "Who pays for the land,
improvements and premiums?" and
many other surh kindred questions.
The state of Nebraska holds title to
123 aeres of Innd adjoining Lincoln on
the north on whloh the State Fair Is
located
In 1001 the Nebraska legislature
passed a bill for the appropriation of
135,000 with which to purchase a site
for b permnnent 8tate Fair ground.
Of this amount, $18,000 was fixed as
the limit bv the state board of public
lands and buildings for the purchase
of the present 123 acres. The cost of
the tract, exclusive of the ten acres
owned by the Ijncaster Agricultural
society, was 122,300 After the state
board of agriculture and the cltiiens
or Lincoln had raised the balance of
the money necessary for the transfer,
rind secured the deed for the ten acres
from the Lancaster Agricultural so
ciety, this land was deeded to the
state of Nebraska. During the year
1901 the balance of the original state
appropriation, to-wlt: $17,000 and an
additional sum of $4,371.85 furnished
by the state board of agriculture, was
expended on improvements necessary
for the holding of a fair. The appro
priations made by the various legisla
tures to date are as follows:
1$01 (purchase or grounds) . . . .$35,000
1903 (ladles comrort building).. 3,000

1909 (hnU live stock Judging

1911 (repairs on grandstand)... 15,000
Total appropriation by state.. $133,000

THE FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD
Millionaire Corporations Determined
to Sell Doped Foods With
out Molestation
DR. WILEY'S NOBLE FIGHT
Whenever a public official has the
integrity and bravery to call to ac
count men and corporations who are
rolling up wealth by schemes and
practices that do the public an injus
tice, that official may depend upon
it that the special privileged fellows
whose v, lubes he dares to oppose will
get his scalp if they can and they
usually can under an administration
that depends upon them for cam
paign tumls and support. Dr. Wiley,
chier chemist of the Agricultural De
partment, is one of a few department
ofricials at Washington who have in
recent years dared to stand ror the
rights ot the common people, instead
or submitting to the dictates of the
powerful trusts. And now they are
hot on his track. The following,
from one or The Herald"s Washing
ton correspondents, gives some light
on the subject. In the last para
graph or the following, we would
change the statement. This whole
affair shows how subservient the re
publican party is to corrupt men and
measures" to saying that it shows
how subservient the standpat ele
menl of the republican party is to
corrupt men and measures but then
In Washington the standpat element
is looked hi "H as being the party.
Attack on Dr. Wiley
In the past few days President
Taft has acquiesced in, if not actual
ly approved the effort to remove 1 Jr.
Wiley from the position of chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart
neat. This afralr lias developed the
greatest political sensation that
Washington has experienced in more
than a year. The great food tanners
throughout the country were, betore
i lie pure rood law was enacted, ex
tensive users or poisonous preserva
tlves In their canned goods. Dr. Wil
ey. as chief chemist or the Agricul
tural Department and thererore ex
ecutive or the pure rood law, has
been relentless in his right ror pure
rood and be has struck sledge ham
mer blows at lood adulterators and
users or poison us preservatives
wherever he round them.
Cause of the Attack
These tood manufacturers, whiili
include meat canners of Chicago and
elsewhere and vegetable and fruit
eanners all ov r il country, are
anxious to have Lr. Wiley removed
as they 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 or laws we pass, be
cause they are the ones, who through
I our presidents, always name the
judge who nullities the laws and l?ts
the corporations escape rines. The
charge against Dr. Wiley is that he
permitted a chemical expert assist
ant to draw a little larger salary
than was authorized by law.
Even this is tar retched. The law
authorizes Dr. Wiley to pay $1,600 a
year ror an expert assistant, but the
ract Is, expert chemists cannot be
had ror such a price as that. So
Dr. Wiley appointed Dr. Rusby or
New York as his assistant at $1,600
per year, with the understanding
that Dr. Rusby would receive $20 pet
day ror the work that he did in the
labpratory; and under this arrange
ment he would not be working more
tlian a part of the time, but would
draw $20 per duy out or the $1,600
per annum when he did work. Dr.
Wiley's department was Investigated
by Attorney Ceneral Wickersham.
and he recommended that Dr. Wiley
he permitted to resign. The fact of
the matter Is, the whole at fair was
trumped up to scare Dr. Wiley into
resigning. But those who thought lie
would resign have another guess com
ing to them. Dr. Wiley has rendered
the greatest service to this country
ot any man alive today, and the ef
fort which was made to oust him re
sulted in letters pouring Into the
White House by the thousands.
This whole at fair shown how nub
M i vient the republican party Is to
eorrupt men and measures The tood
' atiners or course will be heavy eon
m.I, mors to the republican can
paign rund next year If Wiley la flr
d, and Tart is willing, ir public opln
ion ran be hushed up. But it cannot
be.
