Important contribution to Its success.
Decision after decision hss shown that
the commission proposes to tet Its face
against loose construction and multl
'plled ' exceptions, even where dlscr:
tlonary power is conferred, giving op
portunity for the trsnsportstlon com
panies to perpetuate evasions Or to re
lapse Into the old abuses and discrim
inations which It is the vital aim of the
law to abolish.
Immediately after It became certain
that the law would pasS In the form
now on the statute book a formidable
and concerted campaign was Inaugu

yielded, would have gone far to nul
lify the intended effect. At the very
outset eitreme pressure was put upon

the requirement as to filing ot rstek,

It Is a signal advantage to have (t

'' TiFT AND TflE Ct B A A S.
president Roosevelt's representatives
tail hardly have been surprised since
their arrival St Havana to find tflt'h
Cuban faction striving to use them for
Its purposes and to Ihunt over onto
the United States the burden of abat
ing the existing intolerable condfllons.
This 'attitude signifies: either tntppre
clatiort of the president's purpose or
unreadiness yet to conform to It. But
Secretary Tatt is not id Cuba to do
f6r Cubans what they, themselves
ought and must speedily do, nor is
the United gtates responsible for the
disorders which mensce property ahd
lite and ihdividual liberty. The Cu
bans themselves have brought about
these conditions! and President noose'
velt in the plainest and most solemn
manner baa warned them to put a-stop
at once to them.
Secretary Tfcft is on the island to
represent the United Statee. not ex
tending Cuban factions, and to report
the facts, to advise his government
and to exeeute ita ordere with a view
to cure of existing and threatened
evil. If Intervention comes, It will be
because the Cubans fail to observe the
president's warning, and because it is
necessary in order to establish 8 gov
ernment that is worthy of the name.
It does not appear that between the
president's notice and Taft's arrival
the Cubans themselVee had taken a
single effeotlve Step towards a solu
tion, and since his arrival they seem
to-have nothing to offer but complaints
one against the other and maneuvers
to commit the United States to fac
tional interests.
Meantime one fsct stands out so
that it ought not to be, missed by the
dullest mind in Cuban public life,
namely, that our government is pre
pared with the ' moat ample means,
military and naval, to sweep away
everything that stands In the way ot
good order, effective government and
safety for persons and property when
it becomes clear that the Cubans can
not Or will not mend matters, and
that Secretary Tift la really gaining
at first hand the information on
which our government wilt certainly
Set. It 18 a situation which cannot
be let drift, for that would be only an
aggravation. ' ,

There IS a radical difference between lh
World-Herald and Tha Bee In th matter
of primary electtrina, ahd w are Willing
td havt this difference continue, Th Be
attempia t dictate party nominations, and
Ita editor assume th position of a party
boss. Th World-Herald keeps out of
primary fights In th democratic party and
leave the rank and ill to select parUr
candidates. Tb result IS a -republican
party split Into two factions and a demo
cratic party reasonably harmonious.
World-Herald, -
There la a' radical difference be
tween the World-Herald and The
Bee In the matter of primary elections,
although it is not as the World-Herald
atates it.
The Bee does not attempt to dictate
party nominations, nor aa! its editor
sny ambition to occupy the poaltion
of a party boss. The Bee, however,
recognises the duty devolving upon It
ss a party monitor to keep, if possi
ble, the party from making grievous
blunders by the nomination of yellow
dogs .whom It would have to repudiate
and oppose after nomination. It has
been and will continue to be the
policy ot The Bee to point out to the
party the pitfalls and ambuscades into
which it may be in danger ot falling
abd to give advice as to what, ia Uk
Judgment, is for the party's best In
terest. ,
. . The World-Herald, on the other
hind, stands ready to . swallow any
Tile concoction that -may. b-brewed
by the democratic, bosses provided
only It bears the party label and Is
opposed by. The Bee. The result Is
thst the democrat! party here -always
does the wrong thing at the right
time and Is regularly loaded down
with candidate! sn unfit that decent
self-respecting democrats cannot sup
port tbem.
The World-Herald may be depended
upon, except when It has a personal
axe to grind, to beat the democrhtIC
tom-tom. The Bee, In the future, as
In the past, will recognise its duty
to the people to be paramount to Its
duty to the p&rty and put patriotism
Shove partisanship.
-the terms of the pure food Isw bear
very heavily- against those who are
making so strenuous sn effort to se
cure permission to use artificial color
ing in many foods of Universal con
sumption. The law prohibits adulter
atlofi in the case of food "It it be
mixed, colored, powdered, coated of
stained In a manner whereby damage
or Inferiority Is concefcled." ' It ii
not merely a question of wholesome
ness, as some hive assumed, in trying
to prove that the coloring materials
are not deleterious to health In the
quantity need. The law of course for
bids all poisonous or otherwise' Injur
ious adulterants, but It alsV alms to
prevent frauds on the pocket as well
at barm to the stomach ot the con
sumer. '
The atrOng point la made that while
certain colors In canned vegetables,
fruits, jellies and dairy products may
make them more attractive to the eye
and more acceptable to consumers,
and while they may be In fact harm
less to health, yet 1m many if not in
mcst cases 'they are intended to con
ceal Inferiority and to deceive and
cover fraud. The strongest advocates
Of. the pure food law are therefore
demanding Its strict enforcement ad
ministratively, and they express bo
doubt that the courts will remedy all
deceits and frauds like those accom
plished by colored foods if they can be
prevented Ih ho other way..
- rfc KiaHT'HoVit LAir.
President Roosevelt's action with re
spect to enforcement of the eight-hour
ia, in harrbony with the dominant
note of His whole record as chief exec
utive, the kind of action that verily
brings, results, and will disarm the
most Captious critic. The executive
order not merely commands that the
law be Obeyed, but requires specific
teports of the responsible government
representatives which . will secure pun
llhment ot all delinquents, thus going
Straight to the toot of the matter. '
There has been no complaint that
the Isw wkk ignored by the immediate
employes of the public service, many
of whom indeed are disposed to work
a good deal less than the legal limit.
The real trouble all the time has been
with contractors and subcontractors
enggged on public works In different
parts of the country or with theirem
plOyeS, both parties often desiring
more than eight hours' work. Un
der the law, however, it la equally a
violation whether employee are per
mitted or required by the contractors
to exceed the limit.
But when the subject was brought
to the president's attention by repre
sentatives ot labor organizations it
was forthwith Submitted to thorough
Investigation, showing some violations,
and the 'president acts lnstanter to
stop them. The law Is on the statute
book and the Roosevelt doctrine Is to
have every good law obeyed or to
make trouble for those who disobey.
Our amiable democratic contem
porary should not allow its car
toonist to get ahead ot the game. The
testimony brought out before, the In
terstate Commerce commission hear
ing with reference to alleged combina
tion between local coal dealers to fit
prices exacted of consumers goes back
of the term of County Attorney 81a
baugh lntq the terma of County At
torney English, who le up again as the
democratic candidate for the office,
and also County Attorney Shields
who was his democratic predecessor.
It any one is to be convicted of being
"asleep on his beat," the democrats
who served as county attorney come In
as first offenders. With the evidence
now at hand and a .special grand jury
called with full power to probe Into
the secrets of Say Illegal combine.
County Attorney Slabaugh will still
Rave an' opportunity to make good.
HIS democratic predecessor, who Is
asking to be reinstated, surely has
none the -best of It in fact, he and
his political . spokesmen are, In legal
parlance, "estopped" by their own In
activity from raising Such an Issue.,
The World-Herald criticises Ed
Leeder because whea filing as a can
didate for nomination to the legisla
ture he did not resign, his position, In
the fire department. It had no word
bf criticism, however, to enter when
Police Captain Mostyn filed ss a dele
gate to the last democratic state con
vention without first tendering his
resignation from the police force. One
is a republican and the other a demo
crat. It all dependa whose ox is gored.
It Is to be noted that John L. Mc
Cagqe Is th high man for the repub
lican school board nomination on the
returns from the primary. This Is
pretty good proof that Jhe natrona ot
th echoole appreciate the lead he has
taken during the past three year to
ward making the echool management
more business-like and less political.

OTHER LAD TH A Ot IS.
According to the report for 1. Just Is
tued by the imperial Chine maritime cus
tom, wonderful Industrial development
hss manifested It.eif In the district of
Qhilkiang, the chief city of which Is Tung
Chow. There haa been established a cot
ton mUl of over 40.0P0 tplndlet for nne
yarn, with English machinery, employing
Ltd hands, and capable of turning but
8S.0O0 bales annually.
In th other mill there la machinery
ot German, American, Japanese, and tome
of Chinese make. There I a mill for ex
tracting oil from cottonseed, th waste
product of which also finds a good market
a a fertiliser; a flour mill, with a -rapacity
et 1,600,000 pound annually: a dyeing
factory for cotton and silk fabrics; a can
ning factory tor meat, flsh. etc.: a factory
for spinning and weaving silk, and what
will eventually be a dockyard for build
ing steam launches snd their machinery,
"but ha at present only the plant tor boll
rmeking. Outside the south gate of Tung Chow
ther I a printing establishment for books
and map and a soap factory. On the Isl
and of TSung-mlng, on the Yangtze, -thtr
I a cotton mill and a large brick factory,
th latter employed In supplying brick for
th numerous buildings still In course of
erection. Irt addition to theae eleven es
tablishments, nineteen more are projected
or In tours of erection; among them a
cottort weaving factory Is already suffici
ently advanced to admit of the Instruction
of mill hands who will laer carry on the
wnrk. All these factories are well built,
work by Steam power,' ahd are lighted by
electricity.
81? Herbert Majtwell, chairman bf the
British Royal Commission on Tuberculosis,
renews th old and generally neglected
warning against the whit flour, which
most persona persist In regarding a the
best. He write: "Steel roller hve re
placed the "old millstones, and the modern
product consists of starch, which is a
heat-giver, but not a flesh-former, in the
proportion of about seven and one-half
part to every one part of nitrogenous
matter producing muscle and bone. Those
who know what they are about, and can
afford to have their brertd baked at home,
are careful to purchase 'seconds' flour,
WnlcH contains the sKlft ' bf the hulled
grain aa 11 aa thS kernel, only the ligne
ous husk having been removed. Bakers,
a a a rule, rannot afford to use seconds
flour, not because It Is dearer than the
over-refined atuff In fact. It Is considerably
cheaper but because the bread It produces
Is pot dead-white, but cream colored, and
th bulk bf customers pronounce It to be of
Inferior quality. They:on't look at It:
and cooks dislike It, because It will not
'rlso' so readily aa the other, nor" make
Such elegant pastry. '. Much capital . was
made by free-food orators during the elec
tions out ot the black bread eaten by the
laboring classes on many parts of the con
tinent, and country electors were warned
that such would be their diet if tariff re
formers were allowed to have their way.
The nam la repugnant to those accus
tomed' to What they consider the finest of
the wheat; nevertheless, black bread con
tains all the flesh formers Irt an Inferior
klhd of grain, And therefore Is real food;
Whereas most of the flesh formers have
been expelled from modern bakers' white
bread, which Is In ho sense a real food,
but only a supplement to diet. There Is no
question of Introducing black bread In this
country; only one of restoring the pristine
virtu to white bread."
Speaking of the transfer of the control
bf the Chinese Imperial maritime customs
from the hands of Sir Robert Hart to
those of Chinese authorities, a Shanghai
correspondent write to a London Journal:
"Apart from guaranteeing the service and
redemption of th loan (whch have tieariy
forty year at III to run) and the regular
collection of th revenue which no Chi
ne administration could be trussed to do
It Is well to remember thtt thr are
few of the forms of progressive activity
shown by th Chines government In re
cent year which th customs has not
either originated of guided. Education,
statistical work, th postal service, for
eign relations, naval . reorganisation In
ths nd many other matter the Chinese
have followed th genius of Sir Robert
Hart khd hve profited by the loyal work
of th foreign collectorate. Rut the light
house system,- in. particular, affords a atrlk
Ing example of good work efficiently and
economically done with those revenues
which the Chinese now desire to devote
to other and lest laudable purposes work,
be It observed, essential tb the navigator
and trader In the far eaat, and work
which th celestial, left to himself, would
neither originate nor maintain.".
The report that Prlnr Oeorge of Oreec
la soon to retire from the poaltion of high
commissioner or Cre"t and to be succeeded
by k Greek statesman seem to have caused
mUch excitement and Indignation in Crete.
