THE FALLS CITV TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , OCTOBER 26 , 1906. Mr. Pollard's Salary. The democratic nominee for congress in this district has seen lit to publish an open letter in several papers in which he makes several important announcements - nouncements , if true. He takes the Hon. E. M. Pollard - lard to task for .having drawn the salary appropriated and set apart by congress under provi sions of law for the representa tive in congress in this district and makes the statement that lie would not have drawn the salary , notwithstanding the fact he is now engaged in a desper ate attempt to get votes enough that he may have the opportunity - nity and privilege of doing so. hie says the United States statute which controls this matter is clear and unambiguous - ousaud'it is thought to be so. Section 51 of the revised stat. utes provides as follows : ' Whenever a vacancy occurs in either house of congress , by death or otherwise , of any mem ber or delegate elected or ap pointed thereto , alter the com mencement of the congress to which he has been elected or appointed , the person elected or appointed to lill it shall be compensated and paid from the time that the compensation of his predecessor ceased.1 The vacancy occurred when Mr. Burkett's resignation took effect , which was on March 4 , 1905. 1905.The The only lawyer asked to give an opinion , either by the congressional committee or any other committee acting for Mr. Pollard , was Judge M. B. Reese , long time chief justice and mem ber of the supreme court of this state , and of whom it is said , we have never had in this state a better or abler judge , or one in whom the people have great er confidence , or for whom they have greater respect. His opinion was furnished and was published in the papers and is as follows : "You ask me what I think of the pretended charges that are being made against Congress man Pollard. Well , I can tel you in a few words. 'I think they are puerile and childish. I am certain there is not a man who is trying to make capital out of this who would not have done the same thing. The law is plain that he was entitled to it , and the same thing has been done in all simi lar cases. The law was enacted long before he was elected , and salaries universally had been paid under it. Congressman Pollard took this matter up with the clerk ot the house and sergeant-at-arms at Washington and made the direct inquiry of them as to why this salary from March 4th to IJ- July 18 was paid to him and i said that if any mistake had been made and this salary did not as a matter of right and law belong to him that he did not want it and would proceed at * n -u once to have it placed at the disposal of the government. The clerk of the house wrote Mr. Pollard as follows : "lion. E. M. Pollard , Nehaw- lea , Nebraska : My Dear Mr. Pollard : I enclose you doc uments as requested. In regard to your pay , you only received what you were clearly entitled to , both in law and in equity , and all precedents are in your favor. Yours truly , "J. M'DOWELL. " The the disbursing sergeant-at-arms , bursing oflicer of the house wrote Mr. Pollard with respecl t to this matter as follows : "Hon. E. M. Pollard , Nehaw. ka , Nebraska. Dear Sir : In reply to your letter of the 27tl inst. , permit me to say that yoi were paid salary from March 4 1905 , under the customs ant 1 rules of the house of represen tatives in all like cases. Ir your case your predecessor Hon. E. J. Burkett , was a mem ber of the Fifty-eighth congres : and was duly elected to succeec himself as .1 member of the Fifty ninth congress. "There has bi'fii no question of his i-legibilitx. Had ho not been elected to the United States senate nothing would have prevented his serving as a member of the house. He re signed in January , 190. ) , as a member of not the Fifty-eighth congress for that congress was still alive , and he served on the full term ending March 4 , 1905. He resigned from the Fifty- ninth congress , which did not come into existence until March 4 , 1905. How then could a va cancy bi > created until his resig nation , though tendered to the governor of your state in Janu ary , went into effect at the be ginning of the Fifty-ninth con gress , or in other words on the 4th day of March , 1905 ? "You were elected to fill that vacancy , and under the law and such precedents as have been established you were not only legally , but morally , entitled to the salary you have drawn. Sincerely yours , IlnxiiY CASSON. Sergeant-at-Arms , H. K. " Kentucky's Pure Food Law- Kentucky has a fairly eftec- tive pure food law. "During the year , " says the last pub lished report of the state agri cultural experiment station re garding the enforcement of the law , "we have made a thorough examination of meat products including fresh meat , sausages and lards. In many cases we found boracic acid used as a preservative and artificial color used , especially in sausages. Since being notified of our re sults , the packers have agreed to put up meat products for Kentucky without boracic acid , and to this end one firm htis in stalled a separate department in its Chicago plant for Ken tucky experiment station de scribes as are packing their meats for sale in Kentucky in Louisville. Onr late inspec tions show that the packers arc now complying with the law. " Nebraska has no pure food law. Regardless of the new national pure food aether pack ers will not need to take such precautions for the benefit of Nebraskans as they are taking for the protection of Kentucky people. That is to say , Ne braska will not receive these benefits which the Kentucky experiment station describes as arising from this protection. "With the elimination of pre servatives and color from meat products , competition becomes a matter of quality and purity , which is the basis on which all products should be sold. Color is often used in food products to cover inferiority and to make a product appear superior in qual ity. By the use of artificial colors and preservatives , infer ior goods and partly decom posed products may be used to make up various articles for sale , as tomato catsup , pre serves , etc. , and it is wise that our law prohibits either color or antiseptics without the labe so stating it. The effect of the enforcement of the law has nearly driven out coal tar dye and antiseptics from food prod ucts in this state and what this means is best told by the manu facturers in their own words Says one : 'We formerly usec coal tar dye incur tomato soup but during the season ot 190o and henceforward , the use o coal tar dye and benxoate o soda will be entirely discontin ued in this product , for we have arranged to make it entirely from fresh tomatoes. ' " The national pure food law protects the buyers of feed fo live stock as well as the buyers of human food. The Kentucky law does this also , and witl what need we gather from Di rector Scovell's report of som of the frauds discovered in thi line. He says : "A sample o shorts sold to a dairyman wa found to contain 25 per cent o corn cob meal which for feeding purposes is much inferior to shorts. Another sample was found to contain nearly half of ts bulk of corn cob meal. Three amples of shorts in Louisville roni different firms contained about 25 per cent of adultera- ion , reducing their feeding alue to almost one.fourth. A ample oi cotton seed meal was bund to contain 50 per cent of in adulterant. A food being old under.the name of corn and at feed was found to be a very nferior food and not as valua ble as hay for the amount of > rotein it contained. " Nebraska buyers of feed buy ome products almost altogeth- r. They therefore have no ) rotection from adulterations uch as these until a legislature rives Nebraska also a pure food aw. Give Them the Go By. With the permission of the men olds we would like to have a ittle private conversation with he women folks 'of this ancient nd romatic village. About ever } ' so often and some- imes more frequently divers and idr } ' agents call at the house , uring the hours when the men oiks are out. These agents are smooth fel- ows with glib tongues and it is heir business to study the cliarac- er of women and work them to a icat brown fraz/.le. The } ' thave things to sell vomlerful contraptions which lave just been invented and vhich the manufacturing- is afraid to trust to the common , ordinary local dealer , who is your neighbor honest responsible and eliable , so the manufacturers lave turned over the business of elling this wonderful new line ot goods to irresponsible "agents" ly by night here today and one tomorrow. And you wo- neu all bite like little suckers. You take the hard earned nouey which has been made right icre in this town and you scatter t to the four winds of heiv Mi ; ou take the bread and butter out of the mouths of neighbors and riends , the local merchants and business men. Undo- the magical lypnotic spell cast over you by he perfumed neatly dressed , white fingered agent , you agree o buy things of an outsider , thus lepriving your home merchant of the legitimate business that Belongs to him. And further , by so doing , you t bit every time you pay more : or the goods than you would if you bought at home. You buy an inferior article , for if the article , was standard or superior the home merchant would handle it but he cannot afford to stand with his good name back of an experiment or something- inferior but the irresponsible agent can. Say , Mrs. did you think oi that ? The best thing you can do for your family , your city , and your community and also your purse the next time an agent strikes your door ; is to forget your man ners and your polite raising am tell him to "git" or you will cal the dog. If you want to see the community thrive ; see fine houses go up fine churches , fine school houses , public buildings , smooth streets , handsome stores and well dressed citizens , 3-011 must quit sending- your 11101103' out of town. You get left every time you do it , and you are doingan injustice to these peopla who are your neighbors and friends.

At the same time the public knows very little of his personality beyond what they see over the footlights. Mr. Whiteside is not a poseur He believes in the old-fashioned idea that the actor should live in his art and not in society. If he has any fad at all it is in the fol- owing of literary pursuits ir which he has been most success ful. It isas an actor , though , that he desires to be known to faim and his literary work is with hin merely a pleasant recreation froit the arduous labors of his stag < life.

' For sale tit all dm- , ' stores - There is a new deal in affairs in Nebraska and the people are fighting for lower railroad rates. So many things are happening of real interest to every citijceu hat a daily newspaper is now a necessity. The biggest bargain hat has come to our notice is The Daily State Journal without Sunday from now until January 1 , 1907 , for only 50 cents. This such a small price that it can only be made to introduce the paper into new homes. The pub lishers claim that this is not a scheme to get you on their books and then keep on sending , but that the paper will be stopped on January 1 , 1907. H would be hard to find a better way of in vesting 50 cents. Never Ask Advice.
