J the euernW of pure food and drugs
I if Dr. Harvey ,W. Wiley Is tslven the
portfolio of secretary of agriculture
j In President Wilson's cabinet. It will
also be a fine fibula to the personal
i worth of Dr. Wiley, - who. almost
, unaided, prosecuted hla work, of rld
1 ding the rou n try of adulterated food
j and drugs until concerted opposition
of foes, both without and within the
j department, so handicapped blm that
i resignation was inevitable.
To the American people the name
, of Dr. Wiley Is a synonym, for a
I square deal for everyone so far- as
I food measures are concerned. His
j efforts have been appreciated . by all
j who believe .that a man's label on
his merchandise should be as good
' as his bond in the counting house.
Personal liberty la by no means
' violated' by the pure food measures.
Every manufacturer Is entitled to
make an adulterated article if he so
desires. And every purchaser Is free
to purchase an inferior article if he
e desires. y y, ,
v. What Dr. Wiley has fought for, and
what all the honest people In the
country stand fpr, Is merely that the
manufacturer' will admit the adulter
ation, instead of claiming that he is
furnishing a strictly first class arti
cle, v iy,;''
.There are many pedple in this
country who want to-be pure, they
have their money's" worth.' If they
pay the full price for a genuine ar
ticle they want Jo be'sure that they
nrc.not helng cheated. Dr. Wiley
never Uld the .manufacturers they
j Hliould not adulterate, -f He merely
said tlint their label should show the
.amount of 'adulteration .and the e-
Ueterloua ' substances, employed.
f In view of thet fact ithit all Jhr
states rolling, up the .biggest Demo
cratic majorities are agrlcutural
states, the post of secretary of ag
riculture will be an Important one.
While Dr. Wiley Is. primarily, a
chemist, and not a farmer, it is
known that his knowledge of the
chemistry of farming will give him
all the training needed to fill his post
acceptably. More than that, the peo
ple will feel sure that they have a
faithful watch dog guarding all the
interests which center about, food
and drugs. , '' . ; ' . ,;
Probably before the suffragists
get through, they( will. ,be claiming
that it waa Adam's backbone that
was taken away from him instead of
a rib. - - - ..
