MR. SULZER’S HATRED OF RUM.
Ex-Governor William Sulzer is not
like the editor in a Western town
who announced: “For the latest in
formation about the ravages of the
demon Rum, see our insides.” Quite
the contrary. He attends a confer
ence of Prohibition leaders and pro
claims himself their candidate for
governor. He is a convinced teeto
taler of unspecified duration, and he
has suddenly found that what ails
the world is not so much this cruel
war as—but listen:
“I want to root up the evil. Pro
hibition will do it. If I were asked
to sum up in a single word the cause
of more than seven-tenths of all the
wants and woes, and of all the trials
and troubles, and of all the crimes
and miseries, and of all the tears
and groans of forlorn men and weep
ing women and orphaned children, I
would sum it up in that short word
RUM—R-U-M! R-U-M! It is RUM
which menaces the progress of the
race and challenges the advance of
civilization.”
And that gives the “same old Bill”
an opportunity to run in the primar
ies of yet another party. “I will go
into the Progressive primaries, the
Democratic primaries, the Prohibition
primaries, the American Party pri
maries, and possibly others,” he says.
His beliefs are many, earnest, fer
vent and sincere. At all events, dur
ing this campaign he’ll drink no
more gin sling.—New York Times.
SPOILING BAD FOOD.
The federal authorities have tak
en steps to stop a pernicious prac
tice of unscrupulous dealers, who
have been selling in cities and dis
tricts where the pure food laws were
not rigidly enforced, foodstuffs which
had been condemned elsewhere. Rot
ten eggs have been sold to bakers;
bad grease has been fixed over for
oleomargarine, and so on. These
things have been transported from
state to state in the guise of sub
stances for the mechanical arts.
The government now proposes to
squelch the practice. Hereafter any
spoiled food must be denatured be
fore it can be shipped into interstate
commerce, according to a ruling by
the Department of Agriculture. This
will permit the shipment of spoiled
eggs for use in tanning, and other
spoiled substances for the making of
fertilizer, or oils or greases used in
machinery, but will require them to
be treated with salt, kerosene oil or
coloring matter, or in other ways so
that they can possibly be used for
food.
It is unfortunate to Rpoil good
food, but it is a very excellent thing
to spoil bad food so that it cannot
be food any more. That is Uncle
Sam’s intent, and it ought to suc
ceed.
GERMANS ARE
FALLING BACK
(Continued from page 1.)
of five hundred thousand Russians
the Austrian army which was driv
en back by the Russians has again
been reformed and is advancing to
retake Lemberg. The Austrians have
fifteen hundred heavy field guns and
two thousand field artillery pieces.
Austrians Defeated Servians.
The war office announces that it
has received details of a battle fought
last Sunday when the Austrians an
nihilated the entire Tirnok division of
the Servian army.
Russians Defeated By Germans.
The German army has completely
crushed the Russian left flank in East
Prussia, capturing thousands of pris
oners and guns. The Russians were
routed, leaving their dead and wound
ed on the battlefield. The defeat of
the Russian left flank opens the way
for the German army to advance up
on the main Russian army in Poland.
The German army has been greatly
reinforced and has taken up the
march through Poland to intercept
the advancing Russians.
Russia Admits Reverses.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 12.—The Rus
sian war office has admitted that the
left flank of the Russian army in East
Prussia has met with reverses and
is retreating. Reinforcements are be
ing sent forward to the support of
the army.
Germans Driven From East Africa.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—British sol
diers have driven four hundred Ger
mans from East Africa, where it is
charged they were attempting to in

hopes that a portion of Britain’s
troops would be deflected from
France.
