TIME FOR The bulletin issued from
A CHANGE the office of the Oregon
Dairy and Food Commissioner f Dr
the month of April, contains much in
teresting reading. It informs all who
wish to peruse it that it is a frequent
practice in restaurants for cooks to
leave canned vegetables in their orig
inal tins after they have been opened,
and that even in hotel and other
kitchens where it is the practice to
empty such foods inte glass dishes as
soon as opened, the cans themselves
are often used for other culinary pur
poses. Thus is the frequency of pto
maine poisoning accounted for.
In its miscellaneous department
the booklet contains the cheerful in
formation that during the month
eight slaughter houses were con
demned for their unsanitary condi
tion, six markets were prosecuted for
violating the law one of these was
in Oregon City, where a butcher was
fined $25 for selling compound for
lard one dairy was closed for being
maintained in an unclean state, and
278 tests were made of foods in the
state laboratory, with varying re
sults. These tests show that there is a
large amount of milk and butter sold
in the state that is perilously near
the danger .line. The same may be
said of cream. This may not be a
surprise to the average householder,
who has learned that there are three
kinds of milk that which comes
from the cow, that which comes from
the dairies, and that which is left at
the front gate is a can every morning.
Of the three kinds, cow's milk is by
far the rarest. Cream submitted to
the commissioner's office was found
to contain all the way from 49 to 14
percent of butterfat. Milk examined
contained from 1.6 percent butterfat
to 6.1 percent, and most of it was
barely of the legal requirement.
Furthen information, dealing with
what was found in hamburger steaks,
sausages and other foods, is equally
as interesting, but details are perhaps
Are Trusts Really National
Menaces?
By WILLIAM C REDFIELD, Head of the Department of
Commerce
IN the formation of a trust certain economies are obvious. But
are the economies of centralized organization more than BAL
ANCED BY CERTAIN ECONOMIC WEAKNESSES,
which do not arise in the smaller concerns?
Is it or is it not true that the major motive in the forming of the
trust is the profits of the promoters that organize it? There seems
to come a point beyond which the increase of output ia done at an in
creasing expense.
We know that many of the trusts have CEASED TO BE. They
have commercially failed. We know that others are NOT PAY
ING' PROFITS "OX THKIR SECURITIES at all commensurate
with those earned by smaller private concerns.
WHAT THE FACTS ARE PRECISELY WE DO NOT KNOW. THEY
NEED TO BE EXHAU8TIVEVLY WORKED OUT, FOR WE MAY COME
TO. FIND THAT THE REMORSELESS LAW OF ECONOMICS IS WORK
ING ITS - WAY IRRESPECTIVE OF LEGISLATION AND THAT TH;
LIGHT OF- ECONOMIC iTRUTH, ONCE FOUND AND FULLY TURNED
ON THE SUBJECT, MAY MAKE CLEAR A WAY WH'CH TO MANY
HAS SEEMED ROUGH AND HAZARDOUS. -

best omitted. Study of the booklet,
however, will move the average man
or woman to the conclusion that, the
time has come for a change in the
ethical standards and education of
many of the dealers who provide eat
ables for tLe public. It is hardly to
be believed that a man who sells
rancid peanut butter for children to
spread upon their bread is a good
citizen, nor can it be allowed that a
druggist who sells olive oil that isn't
olive oil at all is a credit or a help to
the community.
The state dairy and food commis
sioner keeps a series of score carJs
which tell at a glance the conditions
of dairies, markets and slaugjter
houses, and this information is open
to the public. It would be an excel
lent thing for people . to take tue
trouble to discover what is on these
score cards, and then to patronize
only such places as can show a rea
sonably clean bill of health. If this
is done there will not only be less
sickness, and less danger of sickness;
but the dishonest merchant will be
driven from business, and the several
communities will be bettered by his
retirement. A man who willfully sells
impure or improper food is not a de
sirable member of any community.
TOO MUCH The Weber-Fieldsian
IS PLENTY title of these remarks,
borrowed for the occasion, perhaps
more nearly expresses the situation
than any other group of words in tie
English language. It is well enougn,
and proper, for the newspapers tff
print the news of the day, whetbV
it concern Oregon City or Timbuctoo ;
but it is too much when actual events
are stretched out and plastered over
the front page solely for headline pur
poses. For instance: this past week there
has been some unpleasantness of as
sorted and' varied kinds locally. News
acounts of the happenings have been
printed in The Enterprise, and in the
two leading papers of Portland. One
of the other two Portland dailies has
printed the news also, while the last
of the metropolitan quartette has
sung an off-key solo all of its own,
which was chiefly notable for it inac
curacies, and for its allusions to its
own greatness. However, the strict
news of the various affairs came to
an end when the public had been ac
quainted with the violence and mis
behavior of the prisoners held in the
county jail.
There is no excuse, therefore, for
an afternoon Portland paper printing
an article a day later to the effect
that a second outbreak of violence
had occurred in the county jail. All
the violence of the week occurred in
the county bastile within a single
twenty-four hours in fact in less
MORNING ENTERPRISE, SUNDAY, JUNE 15,
French Doctor Invents Phone;
You Talk Through Your Nose In It
Photos by American Press Association. .
IN constructing the telephone the makers have heretofore paid too little at
tention to the modulations of the voice. According to Dr. Jules Glover,
physician of the Conservatory of Music of Paris, this matter is one of
great importance, for the electrical current affects the telephone receiver
not by its Intensity, but by its variations. The vibrations of the voice, leaving
the pharynx, reach the soft palate, which divides them into two groups more
or less unequal. One emerges through the nose, the other by means of the
mouth. Of this condition the present apparatus takes no account Dr. Glover
has invented a telephone transmitter containing two microphones of different
sensitiveness, into which the person nsing the telephone speaks respectively
with the mouth and with the nose. Professor D'Arsonval has described this
Invention to the Academy of Sciences. It will preserve the exact tones of the
voice in the transmission of telephone messages at very long distances.
time than that. It was proper taat
newspapers should tell their readers
of it; but it was quite unnecessary
for any one newspaper to make what
is technically known as a "second day
story" out of the same affair, and
"play it up" as a fresh happening.
Oregon City people resented the in
trusion of Portland agitators who
came here to tell us how our mills
should - be run. Oregon City people
also resent the "enterprise'' of any
paper which will, in order to prolong
a news sensation, order its local cor
respondent to send in a good sensa
tional story the day after events al
ready reported have occurred. Such
tactics do not show any great friend
liness for Oregon City on the part of
the newspaper, nor do they show any
great desire on the newspaper's part
to adhere strictly to the truth. Anl
in matters such as the occurences of
last week, it is well for the maximum
amount. of the truth to be told, and
for the minimum amount of "color
ing" to be used. To return to the
sentiments first expressed herein:
"too much is plenty."
