THE STERLING VIRTUE OF HONEST
COTTONSEED.

| THE STERLING VIRTTE OF HONEST
COTTONSEED.
1t may be recalled by such of ui as
have not SO far shufed off the political
memories OF the past TO devote ourselves
to the EN- broilmonts of the present, that
the municipal campaign OF last n ovember
was what may be termed heated.
A great many cruel and unkind things
were said on both sides of the controversy
betwixt advocates OF the proposed Goo
Goo city government and plain, unosten-
tatious good government as practieed for
many years by the chosen representatives
of the Republican party. OF men and
measures much of the harsh language
used on the stump and in the press may
have been justified. That is neither
here nor there. We would not exercise
the political ghosts of last November for
explanation or for palliaton.
1t Is Of matter that solely has to do with
refer at this time-with ourselves and
with the Hon. CHARLES CoTToNsEED
NICHOLS, Alderman from Ward /, whom
we ever esteem and whose shadow, we
sincerely trust, may never grow less.
1t was our privilege in that memoir
BILE campaign to distinguish and even TO
honor, as we feel, the then candidate for
Alderman from Ward / by an interpre-
tatiol of the meaning of his middle
initial that won general public recog-
milton as at once apt, euphonious and
significant. Our Justification lies in the
fact that today gentleman of parts and
talents, till then unknown outside a
narrow IL honorable sphere OF private
life and good works, and only infre-
quently rferred to as "CHARLIE MICH
OILS" is now of fame and name through
out the community, distinguished above
the average of his fellow citizens as the
Hon. CHARLES CoTToNsEED NICHOLS.
In SO far we have nothing to call up
for immediate reference OF anything we
might have said, any chance expression
to which we might have been tempted
in our cause of the select, tried and true
partizanship that it was our privilege to
espouse in the struggle of last November.
But at this time we recall that on several
occasions when we indulged in references
taken TO be a reproach and the name by
which we distinguished him from all
the other CHARLIE NIoHoLs's on earth
was in some quarters deemed TO
imply that Candidate NICHOLS Nwas
engaged in the business of selling
cottonseed oil to an unsuspecting public
in fancy bottles bearing a label prettiiy
Printed SOLVE OIL" Indeed, II our
memory serve US right and without TAX
ing the trouble to refer to our files, we
think we did say as much right out and
intimate that IL elected Candidate
NICHOLS would give us cottonseed oil
administration under an olive oil seal-ano
we warned his constituency not to let
him SO palm himself off. Recently, how
ever, our attention has been called to the
following advertisement which appears
in the current issue of that excellent do
nestle periodical, the American Kitchen
Magazine:
PROVIDENCE PURE SALAD OIL,
In cans and bottles for family use. A
pure selected cotton-seed oil. Much
cheaper and superior TO most of the So
called solve oil.n
PROVIDENCE PURE SALAD OIL
is endorsed by leading food chemists az
a pure and wholesome article of food.
Made only by
THE UNION OIL COMPANY,
PROVIDENCE, r. I.
1t is probably not necessary to inform
our readers that Alderman NICHOLS is
vice-president OF the Union Oil Com
pany, and we believe its manager here in
Providence. The purpose of the above
advertisement is plain. II notifies pros
pective purchasers OF "Providence Pure
Salad Oil, that the product thus at
