State Food Commissioner Ankeney was a( i»ia office Tuesday morning tor the first, time since lie left for Washington to act as spokesman for the committee of tho NationalEntail •Grocers’ association, to laybefore the President the reasons for pure food legislation. He said to. The ' Dispatch repre­ sentative that President .Roosevelt gave him close attention when he wax presenting Hie arguments in favor of the pure food bill, aridwhen lie had finished, said to him that he had made a,strong argument. “At this late date in the session,” , said Hie president, “ I eau not,promise to send a special message to congress In support of the measure yon ad­ vocate, for there are several other matters in which I aih even more 1deeply interested, concerning which 1 Shull not.send special messages, but Twill take the matter up at once With the secretary of agriculture. The secretary of agriculture is heartily in favor of the measure of course, and the conference with him is not likely to place the matter in any worse condition in the presi­ dent's mind- The liquor rectifiers’ agent at Washington in opposition to the pending measure had caused articles to be placed in iooal news­ papers to- the' effect that themeasure .would he, hard on poor people, for much o f the farm products that would be made into foods,' wore it •not for stringent food laws, now go to waste. „■ Mr Ankeney said that the fact of the matter was that it was the poor- ■people who sufferedmost from adul­ terated foods and cited the fact that millions of bushels of apples rotted in their orchards because as long as ’ Artificial vinegars Could be sold in the.markets for pure cider vinegar, ihe- owners of apples could not find a -market-- in which they could af­ ford to sell real apple Cider vinegar Id competition with it.—Columbus Dispatch, M.

This hair raising picture shows two, devotees of mountain climbing in the act of having the time of their lives. These enthusiasts are-uever really happy unless they are in imminent peril of falling off something amt landing a mile below. The scene is a traverse of the Aiguille de Grepoh^.A.Iout Blanc, ana the mountain climbers are making their way upward inidergteat difficulties. •The rope is firmly fastened to their waists and to the waist of the .guides, who ore not shown in the picture, and as but one man moves at a time the others are braced to hold and rescue him if he happens to slip nud fall. HERE’S A STEft WINDER. i FARMERS RESOLVE. •The Cedarvllle Record has the distinction of being the only news paper in Greene county, outside of .Xenia*, that defendstlie action of the' Republican Central committee and the Xenia gang. While reading the first column of the, first page of the lastweek’s Record, avo did, not un­ derstand Avhy the Editor of that publication should defend the out­ rage, for generally newspaper men champion the cause of right and justice always hut in looking at the bottom of Hie page there was. if six inch three column “ ad.” of H. E, Schmidt & Co. of Xenia. With the Record it is a case of revenue, just AVhat the gang is after. The defense was very wqiik and not Avnrth the price.of the “ ad;” the . “ ad” avus not worth'.the de­ fense, for a ngwspaper cannot af­ ford"^ defend wrong at any price; and When, like, the Record, it en­ ters upon a championship of the methods used by the Xenia crowd, it not only lowers its moral tone, hut its moral standing in the com­ munity in which it circulates. • The Record lias undertaken a con­ tract Avhidh the Gazette and Dress dare notenter upon, They content themselveswith publishing the facts Without attempting a defense'. The Record is somewhat new to the newspaper field in Greene county and may not knoAvwhere it is at If it desifes evidence to proye the utter abandonment of political honor among those who control the party affairs in this county if can find it, sufficiently abundant if the Editor will open his eyes no more than a Uttio bit. The epmffiittee itseif does not try to defend Its action, and the Record is the only one having the temerity to attempt it. • It is said that when things get to the worst they mend and it, is cer­ tainly mending time when (he iieti- tion of a thousand voters of the party is ignored. Had a little more time been given there would have been three thousand names to the peti­ tion-; but the result would bq, the same. The >committee' compels a candidate to pub Up his money and yet refused to-go on record accord­ ing the candidate*‘the privilege of having ftrepresentative at the poll­ ing place to sCe that he gets a, fair deal. Thfttis worse than the race track i for a man eftrt book hismonoy arid have the privilege of seeing the horses run. One committeeman, to square himself, says they did UOfc refuse the presence of a representa­ tive, but it a 'ASmutually agreed by them to allow one. Oh fudge l Each committeeman, under the control of the gang boas, will follow orders communicated the day before elec­ tion, Such a Statement is so thin. The Xenia crowd will nominate their man as they hate done in the past, if necessary, by polling more votes In Xenia wafds than there are men, women and children. When that is done Republicans should vote .for the Democratic nominees andmany of the host citizens in this part of bhp county declare they wilt do so. The Local believes In fair play, a rule by majority, and will always be found contending for tlmso prin ...................r it ft “ 1The Farmers’ Institute ftt.YelloAv Springs passed the following reso­ lutions: * .
