The House Committee of agricul-
ture has been doing some excellent
work in the matter of investigating
the effect of oleomargarine upon the
dairy interests of the country. The
committee finds that there are in the
United states over 10 million cows,
and the an nual dairy product amounts
to 500 million dollars, half of which
comes from butter and cheese and
and half from milk. The introduce
ton of counterfeit butter has deprecl-
ated the value of cows from $40 to
$50 head, making a total sbrinkage
of $50 millions in mich cattle. These
figures show how disastrous to the
dairy interests is the competition of
counterfeit butter and cheese which
can be produced at a cost of or 8
cents pound. These limitations are
not only injurious to the dairymen in
particular and the farming interests
generally. says the committee, but
they are detrimental to the public
health-and herein lies the strongest
| and most effective anti oleomargarine
argument employed by the committee
A list of fifty chemicals and Other
substances used in the manufacture
bogus butter is presented by the com
mittee, beginning with nitric acid
including sugar of lead, castor oil,
stomachs of pigs and sheep, COWS
and carbolic acid, ending with caustie
| soda. The report is accompanied by
an electromagnetic bill" and the
committee adds that it has no doub
of the power of the government tt
tax the business, but that is largely
a question of expendiency.

Members of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture seem to be little
haZy about the butterine and OleO-
margarine bill. The committee will
probably give the parties interested
another hearing. Most of the men,
bers of the committee are not taking
much interest in the matter. The
general understanding among them
seems to be that Mr.. Miller of New
York is to be allowed to report any
bill he wants to, and members of the
committee will discuss just as they
please when the bill gets into the
senate. Senator Miller is waiting
for the House to take action before
he reports bill. He wants to facil-
ita,e action by taking the House bill
and getting that through the senate
if he can, about which there is con-
siderable doubt. Senator Miller
comes from the state which contains
the county of Goshen and several
other counties where grass grows
we'll and butter and cheese are much
made, and he holds all substitutes
for butter in utter detestation, and
the English language is hardly copi
GUS enough TO enable him to express
his profound feelings when butterine
and oleomargarine are mentioned

A terrible hurricane has swept across
the middle of Spain. In Madrid 70 per-
sons were instantly killed and 200 others
have been seriously injured. The wind
struck the city with the suddenness of
lightning. Tram cars and cabs were ov-
erturned and broken into splinters, roofs
were dislodged and telegraph wires eve-
rywhere torn from their poles. The
parks in and about the city were devas-
tated and in some cases entirely denuded.
One church tower was blown down. A
number Of houses i'm the suburbs were
entirely wrecked, and of the many cot

which were blown from their foundations

simply vanished before the storm.
THE OLEOMARGARINE CUES
TION.
The subscribers engaged in the
butter business in Boston, many of
them also dealing in imitation butter,
desire to express our views to our
representatives in congress on the
imitation butter question, and not
wishing to burden them with large
individual correspondence have unit
ed in this letter. We believe that
the dairy interest of the country,
which is recognized as the largest
and most important, is being serious
ly crippled; that great fraud is
being perpetrated on the community,
and that our legitimate business is
being greatly depressed and brought
into reproach at home and abroad by
this traffic in imitation butter. AS
to the injury to the dairy interests
of the country, we believe it unnec-
essary to present any argument, as
this seems a self-evident fact. That
it is fraud upon the community
will be realized when nearly all
wholesale dealers in imitation butter
who are not interested in it's manu-
facture, admit that large portion,
variOusly estimated at 80 to 80 per
cent, goes to consumers at the price
| of, and as pure butter. That it ben
efits the poor man is fallacy. We
believe, from long personal &C
quaintance with the subject, that
they nearly all want, and suppose
they are using the pure article, and
if using imitation butter are paying
the price of pure butter, and suppose
1t to be such. The only parties ben
Gifted, and who oppose legislation,
are those interested in the manufac-
ture, or those who are making large
profits selling it as pure butter. Thus
far state legislation has failed to sup.
press the alleged traffic, and we be-
lieve the bill now before congress
known as the Scott or Miller bill, tc
be the best that can be adopted te
suppress the traffic, and we trust yor
will do all you can to secure its pass
age.

In the State of Georgia, according
to statistics recently collected, the
colored people own over 700: 900 acres
of land, and last year they paid taxes
on more than $4,000 900 worth of
property. Up to 1880 the negroes
of that State only paid taxes on 3d.
100000 of property and owned only
about half as much real estate as
they to-day return. In other words,
the ex-slaves of Georgia have accu-
INFLATED as much property within the
past five years as they did during the
fifteen years following upon the heels
of the war and their release from
bondage. 1t is estimated that the
colored voters of Georgia, taken as
a whole, own more than ten acres of
land per capita and more than 500
worth of property, Under all the
circumstances this is remarkable
sho wing. They have had to fight,
not only against their own ignorance
but against the prejudices of the
white people, yet the numbers of acres
of land returned per capita by the ne
groes of Georgia is larger than that
returned by laboring people in any
other sections of the country.

1t is not generally known that Yer
mont has more cultivated acres than
any other New England state, but
such is the fact. Hitherto she has
taken the lead in horses and sheep,
and ought 10 again, not in numbers,
perhaps. but in the development of
the best breeds. At present agricul
ture runs chiefly to dairying, and this
state is the eleventh in rank in the
Union for the amount of butter an
nually produced. The number Of
mich COWS in the state exceeds $780,
900, and the annual butter yield
therefrom is some 27,OOO,00O pounds.
More than half of the male popula-
ton are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, the greater portion being occu-
pied with dairying. The dairy bus
mess is depressed by oleomargarine
frauds, and il has always been found,
and always will be, that no speciality
can long be monopolized. Mixed
farming sually proves the most pro-
fitable in the long run, and superior
culture pays, whether in the vegeta
BILE, animal or intellectual kingdom.

CTATE OF VERMONT, SEPTEMBER TERM

1t is stated that upon hearing of the
ruling of Judge Hughes yesterday thu
the coupons must be deposited with the
court before proceedings could be had
Judge Bond telegraphed to him not to
enter the ruling on the record. Now, if
the writ is granted by the court compel
ing the Auditor TO receive the coupons
that have been received by the treasurer
of Petersburg, the elimination will have
been reached
or course there will be sensation or
gained against the alleged corruption of
the Judge, but the stern fact will be staked
down into the policy on the principle
that if the United States Supreme Cont
declares that the coupons are valid as a
tender for taxes, then it would he
nonsense to thereby force the
'reasurers to take them under penalty
OF prosecution for damages if he levied
Tor the taxes and then refuse him protec-
'lon from the Auditor who refuses TO re-
ceiVe coupons in the settlement of the
'reasurers accounts. 1t would seem that
consistency would indicate that Judce
BOND would issue the writ.
The only law we pretend to know is
the law OF common sense, and that calls
Tor the foregoing course.
1t is said that the Legislature will pass
law making it felony to use the same
coupon twice.
SO well and so good. But does that
keep the taxpayer from paying in cou-
pons, cutting the State out of her reye-
nue., and saving himself forty per cent?
Scarcely.
And there is no device that the Legis-
lature can invent to circumvent the con
sequences, unless they can change human
nature and automatically force people to
dance on string instead of acting ac-
cording to the dictates of human nature.

The New England Society last night
celebrated the landing Of the pilgrims in
the Mayfower which moored in the sight
of Plymouth Rock on 21st of December,
1920
Forty years ago Daniel Webster said
before this society that though we were
generally Protestants no man felt less
safe because the head of the Federal ju-
dietary was Catholic, which was good
hit TO show how the Puritans should be
more tolerant in 1850 than in 1920. He
said in the same speech that he looked
forward to the time when American
ideas will penetrate the Mexican, the
Spanish mind, and Mexican and Spaniards
will thank God that they have been
brought to know something of civil lib
erty, of the trial by jury, and of security
for personal rights

her limbs with the same horrible tcnacity
with which the brown RAGS cling to a

bent and misshapen. with one inflgent
black feather showing III the tro1f. Her
entrance was the signal Tor considerable
amount Of interest. The polite young man
who 50 CALAMITY shows the lunchers to their

THE TRUE SOVEREIGNTY.

The very gradual ladder that leads
authority from the people up to the
Executive, Chief of the Army and
Navy, and Civil Chief Magistrate is
the very thing to keep before our minds
the great principle that the character of
the people in their original political ex-
istence must be preserved throughout, or
else we have a sovereignty, whether local
or Federal, that is personal, not popu-
lar. There is certain representative
power that begins with local magistrates
and develops upwards, always increasing
the scope of authority until it reaches
Congress, the United States Supreme
Court and the President. The repre-
sentative character of this authority must
be preserved throughout and the same
principles applying to the individuals in
whom is the original sovereignty must
apply to the Government in passing acts
relating to obligations. Otherwise, this
would be a personal not popular gov
eminent.
We point the moral again by applying
1t to the acts of our State Legislature in
trying a policy Of reputation which
could not apply to individuals
Not only is the fallacy apparent but
like all other violations of natural laws it
must bring disaster.
