GOVERNOR STONE GREATiY PIEASED Publicly Commends Farmer Cope's Campaign Against OleOi - REMRRKABLE RECORD Of ARRESTS. Mnteinrnt Slionlna the rrossru.lousi Instltutrd Annlnat Illicit Dclcr In Imitations of lluttcr and Ottser Adulteration of Food In Pennsyl vania Slnee the Appointment of the mt ronimlxaloner. (Spoeltd Correspondence.) Harrisburg, July 31. Governor Will iam A. Stone has publicly congratu lated "Farmer" Cope, whom he recent ly appointed food and dairy commis sioner, upon the eminent success which has followed his efforts In the brief period that he has been at work in his department. A marvelous exhibition of energy, determination of purpose and practical methods have been given by Farmer Cope since he left his Chester county farm to aid Governor Stone in the en forcement of the laws against the adul teration pf food and the illicit sale of oleomargarine. The wisdom of the selection of a practical farmer and dairyman for this position has been demonstrated con clusively, and the political enemies of Governor Stone and the Republican organization with which he stands have been disconcerted by the aggres sive campaign that Farmer Cope has waged against the violators of the law. THE GOVERNOR'S COMPLIMENT. This is Governor Stone's public tri bute to Farmer Cope: "The showing made by Dairy and Food Commissioner Cope since he took his office is the best evidence in the world that the illegal sale of oleomargarine is to be stopped. The co-operation of the district attorney's office in Philadelphia, which Commissioner Cope tells me ho has secured, will enable the dairy and food department's agents in that city to begin work with a degree of certainty as to speedy trials of the cases they bring that certainly ought to spur them on, and 1 look for the crusade there to have the effect of driving all of the bogus butter men out of the busi ness. The crusade in other parts of the state Is to be conducted on the same vigorous lines by the state dairy and food commissioner as in Philadelphia, and if the il legal dealers in oleomargarine fall to profit by the events of the past four or five weeks and quit before the law reaches them it will be their own fault. And the law will reach them speedily, too. Bogus butter has no place as an article of food in Pennsylvania, and the bogus butter men are being made, and will continue to be rapidly made to realize it." Now. as to what Farmer Cope has done, according to the records of the dockets of the committing magistrates before whom the men arrested for al leged violations of the laws have been brought by Farmer Copo and his agents.

Farmer Cope began operations in different sections of the state as soon as his commission was made out by the governor. He called all his sub- ordlnatts together and Instructed them as to what he desired them to (Jo. "Spare neither time, effort nor ex pense," he said, "and pay particular attention to the illegal sales of oleo margarine and mixed butter, and overlook no cases where there is adul teration of otrrer food products." The agents of the commissioner worked night and day carrying out his instructions. Evidence was procured without delay, end although there had been many arrests before Farmer Cope's appointment, he and his assist ants have broken the record In mak ing arrests In the short tine he has been at the head of the department. A number of special detectives were en gaged, and where it was deemed neces sary, through the dealers knowing the regular inspectors, women were em ployed by Farmer Cope to gather sam ples where dealers were suspected of selling oleo under cover. Having procured a mass of evidence and had many of the accused dealers held for court. Commissioner Cope went to Philadelphia anil had a con ference with District Attorney Rotlier mel with a view of having the cases speedily tried and disposed of at the next term of court. The trouble here tofore has been that these cases have not always been tried promptly. FARMER COPE'S PLANS. Farmer Cope, In commenting upon the situation, said: "When 1 accepted the appointment tendered me by Governor Stone it was with the determination to stamp out the sale of bogus butter and adulter ated food articles with all the haste compatible with thoroughness. Gov crnor St on a was eager that this should be done, and assured me that I should have all the support possible in the undertaking.

It pllshed in a day or a week or a month. 1 am glad to be able to say, however, that we have the wheels pretty well In motion, and that arrests of vio lators of the oleomargarine and pure food laws will be made from now on rapidly, and followed up vigorously in the courts. "The willingness of the district at torney's office at Philadelphia to as sist the dairy and food commissioner In bringing all persons placed under ar rest through this department to Justice will aid in carrying on the war against the bogus butter men very materially. "With this to encourage us we will go ahead with all the energy we pos sess in our efforts to put an absolute stop to the sale of bogus butter and other Impure food products, and the sooner the bogus butter men realize that their game is up the better it will be for them. 'The. department's regular force of agents has been reinforced nt import ant points by men working in con- Junction with the agents, but who are not known personally to any of the oleomargarine dealers. Through these men I expect to be atle to obtain a lot of evidence which it would otherwise be practically impossible to obtain evidence of a sort which will insure conviction. 'The sale of bogus butter and other Impure articles of food has got to stop. We have made gratifying progress so far, but we intend to do still better. There is to be no let up on the part of this department, either in making ar rests or in pushing the cases to convic tion in the courts until every Mogul dealer in oleomargarine or other adul terated or Impure food products of any kind has been compelled to quit busi ness." DRIVING TO THE LEFT. 4 Canndian Custom Which Grentlr Pnsslra American Horsemen. "Though I knew from experience that keeping to the left was the rule of the road In England," observed a well known horseman to a Star reporter, "1 did not know that rule prevailed In Canada until the week before last, when I took a short lrlve on the outskirts of Toronto. I have been a horseman for many years and kuow the rules of the rond pretty well. but 1 had considerable dltlieulty to keep out of trouble there, 1 assure you. "A friend loaned nie a nice turnout, which had rather n free stepper In the harness. At the first turn out 1 naturally turned to the right lu passing. The man I met was pretty well fixed also in the way of a horse, and the first thing 1 knew we came together lu splash bang style, the resnlt of It being that I lost a wheel and got pitched out Into the road. 1 supposed of course that he would turn to the right, and he supposed for similar reasons for lie thought from the kind of horse that I was driving thnt I knew what 1 was about that I would turn to the left. Mutual explauations followed. but 1 was the loser In the transaction, for I felt obliged to have the mishap fixed np at my expense. "An American driving In Cunada is as 1 consequence In one continual worry, for It matters not how clever one Is with the reins it is extremely hard to unlearn the rule which obtains In this country of keeping to the right. The Canadians have an aigiuneiit to prove that they are right In the matter and that keeping to the left is much safer in the way of pre venting collisions on the road, but I could not understand it, and three days later I had a similar trouble happen in Quebec, though in that case it was the other team that got the worst of it. Still it was Just as annoying to me, though not as expen- ve. It is the same thing with foot pas- sepgers and bicycles, and the American wheelmen have a hard time In conse quence of it, collisions being frequent and In some, instances very dangerous. The Canadians may be right about it; but. Just the same, no American can ever ?et it in his head thoroughly that they are. The Canadians drive from the right side of the team, as we do, and the whip socket is on the right, but nil the rest of it is to the left." Washington Star. THE FLEET FOOTED GRIZZLY. I(e Doesn't Look It. bnt It Takes m Cond Horse to Overtake Him. 'Some people think that a grizzly can't tun," said A. .1. uaggs or rnctiix, a. i. "I want to state right now that while the bear is a clumsy beast he can cover as much ground as the average saddle horse, and a man should be sure thnt he has a jood mount before he tries to get out of the way of one which is r.ngry. My broth' er was out in the mountains of the terri tory among the sheep ranches one day, when he saw, about 250 yards ahead of hltn, a big, awkward silver tip. My brother had a rifle, but he was not certain that he would kill the bear if he shot, and lie did not know how a race would turu out. lie was mounted on one of the best horses in the country, for a man needed one In those days, lie knew that the bear would not fight unless wounded 3r cornered, and he wanted to see how he would run against his horse. "He was pretty certain thnt the bear would run from hltn if he could once get him started in the opposite direction, and to he gave a regular cowboy yell. The bear looked up and started shufllir.g off toward the ; juntnin, about a mile and a half away. My brother spurred his horse and lit out after grizzly, nt the same time keeping up the piercing 'yecp yeep' of ;he cowboy. The bear soon got into the running, and the way he got over that ?round was a caution. My brother saw that the brute was getting away from him, ond he urged his horse to the ut most, but ho did not gain ten yards in the whole mile and a half. That bear lumbered along with lec.ps equal to a greyhound, and his pursuer did not have i chance to cut him out from his retreat "I went over the course the next day to rerify the story, for it sounded fishy to me. I found thnt the bear had made jumps from 15 to 20 feet in length and that the ground had been cut up by his daws so that It looked as it a harrow had been run over it. For that reason I would advise no man to try a foot race with b grizzly." Washington Post. For Private Circulation. "Yes, he brought out his history of the regiment for private circulation." "Indeed.

Black Advocates the Proposition of a Non-Partisan Constitutional Convention. COMMENDS QUAY'S ATTITUDE, Soond Money Pomorrnt of Pennsyl vania Decide tit Vote the Fall Rc pulillcnn Ticket, Which Gives Hen tit Ilion- to l.cRlnlnllve Fusion on the I'nlted Mutes Srnntorslilp. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, July 31. Ballot reform may be one of the important state is sues in the coming campaign. There is reason to believe, however, that this may be eliminated from the partisan contest, if the leaders of the different elements continue to express senti ments in accord with those uttered within the last few days. Col. Quay, in a recent public declaration, went on record in favor of the most sweeping reforms in the matter of a secret ballot ond nn absolutely fair return of the votes cast, and he also advocated per sonal registration of voters. He gave it as his opinion mat these reforms could only be had within a reasonable time by the calling of a non-partisan convention, which would amend the present constitution so as to permit the requisite legislation to be passed before the adjournment of the next legisla ture. It Would be necessary for the legislature which convenes in January next to pass an act providing for the Immediate calling of a constitutional convention. Such a convention being held without delay would permit of the Introduction of such bills In the gen eral assembly as would bo required to carry out the purposes of the trainers of the constitution. GOVERNOR BLACK'S ATTITUDE. It was, therefore, noteworthy that last week former Lieutenant Governor Chauncey F. Black, one of the most respected and distinguished members of the Democratic party in this state, came out boldly in favor of the holding of a convention to revise the constitu tion in order to reform the voting sys tem of the commonwealth. In a carefully prepared statement for publication he gave the objections to following the antiquated method of leaving this problem of ballot reform to be solved by the state legislature un der the existing constitution. He re ferred to the fact that John Wana maker, in at least two of his public speeches, advocated this convention Idea as the only plan by which ballot reform could be obtained, and he re ferred nt some length to the failures of the past, declaring thnt the ballot law now In force In this state is a fraud, and then recounted the nbwes thut have grown up under the present system. Governor Black then pointed to dec larations from John Wnnamaker in November. 1S9?, and again in March, 1900, nn the subject of ballot reform and quoted him as having said on the last occasion mentioned: "I, therefore, nddress myself to the people of Pennsylvania, to nil qualified electors without distinction of party, whose Uvs, liberties and property lie today nt ihe mercy of irresponsible po litical machines nnd their powerful secret and corrupt allies, nnd nsk them to unite In the nomination nnd election of candidates for the legislature pledged to vote for a fair, non-partisan act calling a constitutional convention for immediate ballot reform, the sub stance nnd essential provisions of which shll be embodied In the funda mental law beyond the reach of corpor ate or machine power." QUOTES COLONEL QUAY. Continuing, Governor Blnck said: "And now comes Mr. Quay, the ac tepted chief of the regular Republican pnrty, not only with a candid admission of the scandalous state of affairs and the universal demand for a change, but with a carefully devised and' specific program for a constitutional conven tion ns the only means of certain nnd immediate relief. He declares that the legislature, under the present consti tution, has no power to pass a personal registration law for the cities or to pro vide n secret ballot, while any voter may take tinoiher into the booth to at test hl3 ticket; that the pending amendments are not mndntory: that even If, after a long and expensive process, they are adopted and Incorpor ated in the constitution, they do not, of themselves, effect a reform, but leave the whole matter dependent upon the will of future legislatures which, as all our experience shows, are little likely to abate abuses that Inure to the profit of powerful corporate or private Inter ests. "Thus we have the intellectual and responsible chiefs of the two divisions of the Republican party," remarked Governor Black, after quoting Col. Quay at length, "in unison upon this most important of all public questions in our state. Mr. Quay, after due con sideration, magnanimously and une quivocally accepts Mr. Wanamaker's proposition for an immediate and radi cal reform by the only means available. He not only accepts it, but he pledges himself nnd, ns far ns he can, his party to a fair, non-partisan constitutional convention bill like that of 1872. Here we have the perfect model, the Burkalew bill, under which as sembled a convention embody ing the very highest wisdom and purest public morality of the common wealth, and in which not a partisan word was uttered from beginning to end. CITY MACHINES REBUKED. "What right has any one to doubt Mr. Quay's sincerity? He is the un questioned head of the ruling party in this state. He cannot afford to palter with the people, and. In this case it would be an act of rank and gratuitous folly. The Democrats of the nation have tested the value of Mr. Quay's word on more than one critical occa sion when it cost him dearly to keep it, and they have never found reason to rep-ret thel r trust.

He must intend only what he says, since he voluntarily ties himself down to an exact and open scheme for an honest 'non-partisan constitutional convention for immediate ballot re form, whereby he doubtless hopes his party may be relieved from the shame and scandal of the present situation. Shalt we doubt the sincerity of a great and responsible lender of the domi nant party who has every personal nnd party reason for effecting the reform at the earliest possible moment and who accepts and Indorses the only possi ble method of effecting It a3 suggested by his only formidable rival nnd Join ourselves In tender trust with petty bosses of city machines who have a plain interest In defeating the reform and who, to that end, talk about ac complishing It by nets of the legisla ture, or by futile single amendments. Mr. Quay's sincerity will probably be shown In a mnnner which will put to shame those who have so Indecently Impugned It.. Should the authorities of his pnrty, its state committee and its enndidntes for the legislature pledge themselves, as he nnd other responsible leaders have already done, there will be no question left. The regular Re publican party has tho powe.- to pro duce the reform for which Mr. Wann maker and Mr. Quay stand and, inas much as the 450,000 Democrats in the state are deeply interested In It, I see no reason why we should not make It unanimous, nnd have at once this fair, non-partisan constitutional convention which all sensible people agree is the only wuy out." At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania, held at Harrlsburg last week, resolutions were unanimously adopted Indorsing the proposition for the holding of a non-pnrtlson conven tion. DEATH BIXW TO FUSION. The Democratic advocates of fusion on legislative tickets in Pennsylvania were evidently greatly disappointed at the action of the sound money Democrats at their national conference held at Indianapolis last week. These renrcsentntlve men of the Democratic party resent Bryan's domination of their party organization, iney are, of course, unalterably opposed to the 1G to 1 declaration on the silver Issue and are determined to stamp out tho radical element in the national Democ racy at the coming election. They wisely concluded not to fritter away their strength on a third ticket, but resolved to make no nominations for president and vice president. This loaves every sound money Democrat free to support the whole Republican ticket, ae most of them will do. Thero is to be no half way measures re sorted to this time. Every man must take one position or the other. He must be either for Bryan and Steven son and free silver at 16 to 1 or for McKinley and Roosevelt and sound money. Thousands of Democrats in the Key stone state have determined that the only way to wipe out Bryanlsm from their party Is to vote the entire Re publican ticket this fall. They will not be content to vote simply for tho Republican presidential electors. They know that the Democratic machine of Pennsylvania is under the absolute control of James M.'Guffey. who is Bryan's personal representative in this state. To vote simply for the Repub lican presidential electors and support the balance of the Democratic ticket, the gold Democrats say, would be simply playing Into the hand of the Bryan Democracy. They know that McKinley will carry Pennsylvania and that Guffey is merely seeking to elect free silver candidates for congress and members of the legislature who will help him In his aspirations to go to the United States senate through fusion with the Insurgent Republicans. Guffey'B deal, they assert, is that the insurgents will elect him to the United States senate on condition that he will aid the insurgent Republicans in their efforts to disrupt the present Repub lican organization and help them name a millionaire Philadelphian ns suc cessor to Boies Penrose in the Uni ted States senate. They declare that the Insurgents know they will not have enough strength in tho coming legislature to elect one of their num ber to succeed Col. Quay. The Insurgents must, therefore unite with Ihe Domt crnts to defeat the nom inee of the Republican caucus on the United States senatorship next Jan uary. The decision of sound money Demo crats in Pennsylvania to vote the full Republican ticket practlcnlly ends the fusion movement ou the United States snntorshin. Modern Girl.
