Bogus Butter

Hoard DairYmaB: From the forth

Mason, United States commissioner of

figures showing the present magnitude
of the oleomargarine production:

Every pound of this oleomargine is
cheat and fraud. The design of Il
men who make it, the men who who'll
sale it, and the men who retail l.. is
deceive the consumer into the belle
that he is buying honest cow butter
For this reason it is put into buttei
packages, colored like butter and mark
ed with the word Creamery" or Fine
Dairy" Notone pound in ten thousand
is eaten by the consumer under any
other supposition than that he is eating
honest butter. In all our cities are
dealers who sell it through fraud and
n. representation. 1t is found on the
dining car. in first class hotels, and
everywhere. 1t "stealS the garments
OF The bride to add to the seductive al
lurements of the harlot'' 1t is fraud
from beginning to end and is backed
by immense capital. 1t threatens the
destruction of the great dairy interests
of the country. for it has for its apollo
gists and defenders men of large infu-
ence in both of the leading political
parties of the land. Every farmer
should set his face like flint against
this monstrosity. Mark every member
of congress. and in particular every
senator who works for or refuses to
work against this fraud Remember
him for all time. The farmer who will
condone these men because they belong
to his party deserves the destruction
to his interests that this fraud will surely
bring.
There is just one way to reach the
scared consciences of these men who
refuse to pass righteous laws for pro-
lection of the producers of honest food.
Repudlate them at the polls. Votes
tell. When they fail 10 stand up in
your defense repudiate them. The two
million Of dairy farmers in the United
States, if they have the spirit of men,
will no longer be fooled with by poll
ticians who are mere Graders in the
temple. Give them a taste of your
manhood, if you have any.

attempt to write for young readers

A long 'short'' story which girls eSpec-
tally will enjoy is Mary Davey's THE

good old grandmother who has long
since repented the little tit of vanity aud
extravaganza Of which the pink grown
was comparatively harmless outcome.
Perhaps the most attractive article
in the number is Mrs. Richard account
of the childhood of her sisters, her
brother, and herself, called "When l

healthful, enobling bringing up, one
cannot wonder at the subsequent sue

THE way Chicago is trying 10 hush
up the recent police raids on anarchy
for fear it may hurt the Worlds Fair is
astonishing. The vigilance of the
police was lauded at first, then when it
became apparen at how the out side people
might view the possible mixture of red
flags and dynamite with the great cele-
bration everything changed. No proof
was forthcoming that the reds meditat-
ed any disrespect to law and order or
the American flag; intact they were
honest business men and the police
made mistake. Then the Captain
paid some 500 out of his own pocket
for damages done. and the honest bust
mesa men, emboldened by this. brought
suil against the city for $4,000 more
Now the monied men say they have
been bled by the police ever since the
Haymarket riots. and this raid was in
stituted to scare them INTO making more
contributions, as they had declined to be
further bled, believing anarchy deed.
