CONSUMERS
LEAGUE BACKS DR. WILEY;
L
NOT BE SCARED
Attempt to Throttle Official in
Fight on Adulterated Food,
- , Condemned.
The Consumers league of Portland
" baa taken up the cudgels In behalf of
Dr. Wiley, food expert at Waawngton,
-whose scalp Is Bald to be desired by
T : Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson.
The league, whose membership Is
made up from the most prominent and
public spirited women in Portland,
among them being Mrs. A. E. Rockey,
Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett. Mrs. W. B.
Ayer, and Mrs. Henry Russell Talbott.
I has adopted resolutions condemning
what is termed the persecution of Dr.
Wiley, and it is ready. If necessary, to
t send a representative to Washington to
testify as to the value of Dr. Wiley's
vork In protecting the people of Ore
gon and the west against manufacturers
Of adulterated foods. The league has
adopted as Its own a statement made
toy Alice .Lakey, chairman bf the pure
, food committee, ' National Consumers'
league, which. in part reads:
"Cant Be cared."
? "The present controversy between Dr.
v Wiley and the secretary of agriculture
' is not merely a difference between two
officials of this government. It is far
more than that.
"Behind Dr. Wiley and his loyal co
' workers stand nearly 90.000,000 con-
sumers, who have found In him an of
ficial faithful to their interests and one
who can neither be "bought' nor 'scared.'
"If Dr. Wiley were allowed to enforoe
" the pure food law as It was Intended
" It should be enforced when first It was
' enacted not alone the consumer but the
honest manufacturer of foods and drugs
would be protected. The consumer
would be protected from the evils of
poisoned, adulterated, mlsbraded and
harmful foods, drugs, liquors and med
" Iclnes; the honest manufacturer would
be protected from unfair and unjust
' Competition In business,
i "Behind Secretary Wilson and the
men who Ao his bidding stand the enor-1
tnmia forces of commercial greed.
"At the Denver convention In 1908
of the association state and national
food' and dairy departments. Secretary
Wilson forced the association to vote
In favor of sodium bewoate, thereby
making It reverse Its vote against the
v drug of the year prevloua
Aids Special Interests.
"The referee board was created
through the Influence of Secretary Wll-
son. He has recently stated, I want
you to understand that the referee
board was organised and put Into action
for the purpose of conserving the ln-
terests of the manufacturer." He might
have gone a step further and said It was
created for the purpose of nelplng a
few 'special Interests' to evade the law.
" 'a "The referee board decided against the
use of saccharin in foods but here we
have another Illustration of how fertile
i In resources Secretary Wilson Is when
a 'business' Is Interfered with.
"The saccharin manufacturers and
others. It is stated, appealed to the
secretary against the decision which
Juad been already issued.
"it was promptly rescinded and per
mission was given to these men to
continue In the use of a drug which Is
injurious to health for another six
months. Have w any eertalnty that
this permission will not be extended In
definitely (If Secretary Wilson is still
In office) T
"Six years have elapsed since the
- s v i

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry.
food and drugs act became operative.
In that time no rulings have been made
for the labeling of malt liquors. . 'A
hearing has at last been set at Wash
ington. Meantime it Is announced that
Secretary Wilson Is the honorary pres
ident of the international congress of
brewers to be held in Chicago next October.
"The consumer recalls that one firm
of manufacturers was able to secure
permission to label their product 'corn
syrup' when it Is not a syrup but Is
glucose. One recalls that the law has
never been enforced as to the labeling
of polished rice.
"It was supposed that the pure rood
law was passed to protect the
consumer from the evils of adulterated
foods, drugs, eta Judging from con
cessions granted to certain manufac
turers It would appear that the law
was enacted for them, as has been
claimed by the attorney for a certain
'whiskey' firm.
Where Dr. Wiley Stands.
"Dr Wiley stands for the consumer
and the honest manufacturer.
"Secretary Wilson stands for the 'spe
cial Interests.'
"Which man is of the most importance
to the American people? Will the pub
lic voice its a'pproval of Dr. Wiley's
splendid work for the consumer by send
ing telegrams to President Taft and
letters protesting against the removal
of Dr. Wiley from offioeT
"Incidentally a suggestion that the
resignation of Secretary Wilson would
be 'good for the service' might hasten
the dawn of a better day for the con
sumer. "The public is tired of 'seeing the
pure food law betrayed into the hands
of Its enemies and made a sham and. a
humbug.
"Give the consumer the protection
that the law provided for him before
It was weakened and emasculated
through the concessions granted to the
'special Interests' by the help of Sec
retary Wilson.
"Olve the consumer the protection
that the rigid enforcement of the law
as planned -by Dr. Wiley will afford."
HATCH PUNCHES
BRING FREE RIDES
Alleged Swindler of Railroads
to Be Rearrested at "
Centralia.
(SpccUl to Tb Journal.)
Centralia, Wash., Aug. 21. W. J.
. Murray, chief detective of the Great
Northern railway, was In Centralia
r yesterday conferring with Sheriff
i Urauhart In regard to rearresting R. R.
' Boyer, the short change artist and hat
' check swindler, who was convicted some
time ago for short changing the ticket
agent at the local depot, and whose
sentence will expire the ffrst of the
' month. Before short changing the local
7 agent Boyer Is believed to have worked
.: a similar trick In Taeoma, and later on
f a Great Northern train, and It Is for the
i latter alleged offense and for using
' counterfeit hat checks that Murray
wishes to rearrest him. When first ar
rested in Portland Boyer had a set of
, punches In his possession with which to
make hat checks. The conductors were
finding hat checks for which they could
not account, and the arrest of Boyer
. partially solved the mystery, but It Is
: believed that the man has Imitators.
It was decided to arrest Boyer the mln
. ute his sentence expires and take him
to Tacoma to stand trial.

That there Is a "hoodoo" of some
nature hovering over her while she Is
In Portland Is' the opinion of Miss Tiny
Broadwlck, the U-y ear-old girl balloon
ist with the Broadwlck family at the
Oaks. Sunday afternoon 'Miss Broad
wlck essayed a triple parachute drop at
the big amusement park, but d sudden
wind squall drove- her big balloon
against the trees. Ten minutes later
she ascended in an emergency balloon,
which had been held In readiness1; - but
the air currents were too severe for her
to attempt more than a single parachute
drop. f
Sunday evening. In spite of the stiff
breeze that was sweeping over the river,
Jack Broadwlck made an ascension, set-!
ting off fireworks while in midair. Oth
er night ascensions will be made on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of this
week at 8:80, "and Saturday ' afternoon
Miss Tiny Broadwlck .will again essay
a triple dropffroni the clouds. '
Just before the balloon ascension last
night Russian cltlrens of Portland pre
sented a . gigantic floral harp to Band
master Phillip Pels,. leader of the Rus
sian1 band playing at the Oaks. This
token of esteem , from his ' countrymen
was presented to Pels as a tribute - to
his services for the czar In the Russo
Japanese war. ; Peli conducted the

and Port Arthur., and is one of the only
