Bogus Butter
From the Mobile Herald.

From the Mobile Herald.
 MT. Rod Culver, son of Maj. l. F. Gull yer, commissioner of agriculture, is now in the city on special mission for the agri- culture department He is making quiet investigation and will confer with Solicitor Webb in reference to violation of the imi- tation butter law. The last legislature passed an act providing that any article, such as oleomargarine or eleogenious sub stances made in imitation of butter, can not be sold or advertised for sale unless the nature or quality of the article Is stamped upon the package This law was passed for the protection of butter consum- ers-and almost everyone uses butter on their table-and to protect the former and dairy of Alabama by breaking down fraud ulent competition, driving out of the mar ket interruptions persons who manufacture cheap compositions of beef fat, cotton seed oil and such things into what many buyers believe to be butter when in reality cows milk is unknown to the yellow preparation. Sometimes this oleomargarine is sold at higher prices than are obtained by dairy men for good pure butter. Commissioner Culver has been very active in prosecution of violators of the oleomargarine law, and now Mobile is coming in for her share Of attention regarding the same. Already Montgomery and Birmingham have heard from the commission. It is alleged that large number of retail merchants here have been selling oleomargarine in un- stamped packages, and they will probably be examined by the grand jury.

In face of the fact that Consul General Lee has warned the American colony to get away from Cuba as early as possible, the stock-jobbing and capitalistic contin- gent keep shouting there Is no danger. and that It is better to be insuited than to run the risk of losing dollar. This is the money powers idea of patriotism.

BIDS FOR BIG BATTLEsHlps.
More WIN BE secured in the Matter of
Power and Speed Than Was Expected.

Washington, Sept -Four firms Of
fered bids for the three new battle
ships authorized by the last Congress
The lowest bid for each OF any type Of
one vessel follows:
Newport News Ship Building Com
pany. Newport News, Virginia, $3.50
600: Cramps. Philadelphia, S2,6J0.O00;
Union Iron Works, San Francisco, 81
GA 600; Dialogue & Co, S2,S4O,OOo,
Many details OF construction viii fig
ure in the awards.
The result OF the bidding for Tie con-
structlon of the three big hattleships
authorized by Congress is eminently
satisfactory to the Navy Department
From the face of the bids, 1t is clear
that the government is going to secure
much more in the matter Of power and
speed than was expected; that the cost
Is going to be less than was paid pro-
portionptely for the Illinois class; and
finally that the government VIII be
able to distribute the work among the
three big building concerns. a method
of construction that always rebounds
to the advantage of the government.

The following protest. by Rev. ]. II.
Crooker OF Buffalo. against the charge
that the attitude OF our country among
the nations is that Of Isolation" will
be accepted by many OF our readers.
The too sweeping declaration is very
well controverted. "It seems to me-
said the preacher. that distinguish
ed American statesman is wrong when
he charges us with isolation. As a
people we have been very much abroad
in the world. and in the noblest and
most effeetual way Who have trav-
eled so widely or wisely as Americans? ?
We have sent great numbers OF stu
dents to foreign universities. Thou
sands OF devoted missionaries have
gone from our shores to distant lands.
We are enriehing our life from every
source; We are pouring out our life
and shedding our influence upon every
race and tribe. What greater good
can We do to the world than by these
peaceful services2 We should arrest
our own development and diminish our
influence by stepping down from this
pedestal and meddling in the affairs OF
distant nations and assuming charge
Of savage hordes."
