Mr. Johnson Is going to look thing upon which to get Into court. He Into the butter business right away and see whether the creameries are really sell ing a pound of butter In a pouna pack age. Irately It has been called to his attention that there Is too much water being sold in the packages of butter for the purchaser to get hla money'a worth. Housewives have said when they open one of the packages they always find the but ter covered with drop of salted water or sweat, which Is caused by the butter be ing made In a high temperature, thus al lowing the manufacturer to sell 10 to IS per cent of water and salt In place of 100 per cent of butter. Mr. Johnson ex pects to go after this proposition right away and also to see to It that the net weight of the contents of a package Is stamped o& the outside of the package, so that the people will not have to pay for a lot of heavy packing. The food commissioner has also been asked to raise the standard of beer sold In th retail bare of the state. Only one brewery, so It has been repprted to the commissioner, stamps on the outside of the beer bottles the Ingredients that make up th beer. Others have reported that In buying keg beer they get enough rosin in a glass to keep their hands stick for a week. Mr. Johnson will take up this matter In connection with others.

Judge Reese, acting for th stats, argued there was no statute requiring the board to make any such record, but on the other hand th statute did pre scribe Just how the board had to make Its findings, and this had been done. Pending an appeal to the supreme court from a decision of th district court, which set aside an order of the excise board, a petition waa filed today In tho supreme court, asking that the decision of the district court be set aside until the hearing, and that the order of the board lie In force. The court has . the matter under advisement. Jacob Klamm was re fused a liquor license to run a saloon opposite th poetoffice, where he has been for eight years.

Commenting upon the Independent's views and professing to speak not "entirely with out authority," you say: But any negro, or white mnn, for that the south" and any republican whoa "voice la Jacob's voice, but whose hands are the hands of Esau," preference should be given the genuine and not the counter felt. The anti-Roosevelt sentiment of which ths Independent speaks has been Intensified by the apparently studied effort to bellttls Foraker and "eliminate" him as a politi cal factor because of his stand, whatever be his motive, for Justice to the "black bat talion." As representative of the utterances of tha Afro-American press upon this subject I quote the followlngw from the Philadelphia Tribune of Saturday, July 6, the only dally published by Afro-Americans. In replying to the New Tork Times the Trlhuno says: Let the Times fully understand this fart, that the welcome that was extended to Sen ator Foraker at Wllberforoe university a few days ago correctly expresses the feel ings of the Afro-Amerlran race towards a truly great man.

We know not whether Mr. Foraker will be tho choice of the national convention, nor do we know that he wishes to bo such a candidate, but the Times can be assured of the fact that the Afro-American voter may not be able to name the delegates from the several northern and Western states, but they will be an effective foroe of the board to appear and show cause matter, who declares that the negroes will why they should not be permanently en- ' nnt vote for any one for president favored In the election or defeat of the next nomv . . - ,. . . ... . 4. by Mr. Roosevelt and will vote for the .
