LETTER
From The Sentineps Special Corres-
pondent at the National ICapital--CoI,
Green and Oleozaargarine
+ WASHINGTON, May 24th.-The
Chinese question is perhaps the worst
specimen Of the violent form American
politics can take. Calm consideration.
an earnest desire to do Justice, a proud
determination to be a true American,
brings all to the conclusion that John
should have the same privileges as
Mike, or Tony, or any other foreigner.
Analysed, as they should BE-, the mis-
directed arguments OF the workingman
against John are but . breath Of wind
compared with the great American
principles involved There is politics
in the question, to be sure, but this
may be all that moves the Congress
sional soul when the workingman de-
mands Johns pig tail The New Eng
land Methodist Episcopal conference
but uttered quiet protest last week
that receives response in every land
where fanaticism has not yet taken
root.
THE SENATE
passed the bill fer the protection of
girls in the District ot Columbia. A
perfect avalanche Of petitions against
oleomargarine struck the Senate on
Monday. The pension bill was under
considerable Senator Frye's
ment to the shipping bill, equalizing
privileges between Canada and United
States, was passed. 1t became 4 mat
ter of conference. The labor arbitration
bill afforded several Senators an op-
portunity to give their experience as
Republicans. Riddleberger proposed
a statue to Zack. Taylor. The ques-
tion of Alabama rewards WAS discussed
THE HOUSE.
passed the urgent deficiency bill. The
legislative, executive, and judicial ap-
preparation bill, as reported, allows
s20,710,S77.42 against s21 81 .605.05
allowed last year, and S21 400, ,6S5.05
| asked this year Representative Ben
nett introduced bill to abolished ten
| percent tax on State Banks circulat-
ing notes. The Senate bill providing
for moral instruction on alcohol, ETC.,
in the schools Of the District, was pass
ed A statue to Edwin Stanton was
suggested. The question Of subsidy,
as an amendment to the Post Office
appropriation bill, opened quite lit
tie war of words. Republicans favor
ed the subsidy.
| OLEOMARGARINE
has at last dropped upon the Congress
sional palate, 1t was predicted that,
when oleomargarine dropped on the
Consregress ional palate, the Congress
sional palate would drop on eleomar-
gatine. 1t is so; somebody besides
Representative Green has tasted of the
bitter cup Best OF all, it is the Sen
ate that has had the ST. Eitus dance
given its tongue. One Senator de-
nounces the whole conspiracy as " IN
famous articles Every body knows
that old Roman struck an extra large
lump, and though the real credit is
due Representative Green, the cater
ers who spread oleomalg garine on the
Congressional palate, have saved the
country. Their intentions were good
they bat sought 10 OIL the Consression
al tongue But the Congressional
tongue is oily enough.
THE GREAT DANGER
is, the Senate may go too deep into The
subject 1t has always had an un
comfortable tendency in that direc
ton. The dairymen of the country
tremble, lest the Senate discover tht
cold, hard truth-another something
the Senate has failed 10 do in NAM
moons And yet in the market hous'
from which the Senate draws its III
spiration, oleomargarine, butterine
and all other reminders OF the soaI
factory, are sold in broad daylight
There is no attempt to deceive th'
public. Boarding house keepers know
what they are buying when they buy
oleomargarlne.
THE STA RtrLINCi TRUTH
is, people eat oleonlargarine often AZ
butter. tbs quite generally conceded
no one car tell the difference by the
mere analysis Of the palate It must
be eaten early and often, as is the ex.
perience of the Congressional palate
before the horrible conviction fastens
ugon the mind And even then, there
seems to be ne remedy There was &
time people wouldn't eat tomatoes OF
chew tobacco. In the matter of proof
the manufacturers Of oleamargarine
have forestalied The outcry Of the Con
gressional palate. Hundreds Of sci.
entists are quoted. The Scientific
american says, electromagnetic Is *
mach farm product US beef OF 6utje,
and Is as aohoies9nse as either IL il
not even a matter of taste nobody
can tell the difference But, to thou
sands of honest American dairylnen,
it is a question of bread and butter
