To Suppress the OIeO Frauds.

The bill just introduced by Representa-
tive Davidson of Wisconsin. providing a
heavier tax upon oleomargarine colored to
initiate butter, ought to be carefully and
faVorably considered. The oleo frauds have
been exposed and denounced over and over
again, and yet it is felt that they continue
undated. The premium upon the fraud is
too high at present to be ignored by the
dishonest manufacturers and dealers The
imitation continues to be sold at butter
prices for butter and the great profit per-
United by this ubiquitous transaction Is
greedily pocketed. Local experience has
shown that it IS difficult to secure convic-
tons upon such scale as to prevent the
evil from continued existence. What is
needed is more stringent law or more
strict espionage of the cleo industry or
both. Mr.. Davidson's bill aims to supply
the first-named remedy. By keeping the
tax on uncolored oleo and kindred prod
ucts at two cents pound no harm is done
to the honest makers and dealers who are
willing to sell the Initiation at imitation
prices, which are about One-third lower
than the butter prices. AS long as the color
is distinctive there IS danger that the
customer will be defrauded into paying
butter prices for imitation butter. Accord
ingly Mr.. Davidson suggests that all imi-
tatiOns which are colored to resemble pure
butter shall pay tax of ten cents a pound,
which would bring its cost to the maker
and the dealer up to about that commanded
by real butter. There would then be no in
centive for fraud. The fraud, however,
would not be assuredly prevented unless it
could be made certain that the tax upon
the colored imitation was actually paid
lit,
factories. When once the tax has been coll
lected the fraud is, in the main, prevented
for the increased cost follows the commod-
ity through It's various landings, from
maker to wholesaler and thence to retailer
and consumer The proportion is preserved.
But some means must be provided to en-
sure the collection Of the tag and to provide
q heavy penalty for the failure Of the maker
to acknowledge the character of his output
Of course, where the principal product of a
certain establishment is a butter imitation
the mere presence in that place of goods
colored to resemble butter IS presumptive
proof of an effort to market a fraud unless
the maker pays the tax. AT the same time
the difference between the two-cent and the
ten-cenE taxed articles must be sufficiently
marked to prevent confusion. Beyond this
law Ii Is to be assumed that the penalties
already provided by the statutes in force
would apply in the event Of the passage of
this bill. Anything which will minimize the
chance Of fraud in the sale of limitations at
butter prices, in the lame of butter is to
be welcomed.

1t is only the same old story,
This life, so the cynics declare;
With its tales of adventure and glory
And its chapters of hoping and care.
But story depends on the telling,
And each must strive on as he may
With his narrative, carefully dwelling
On its incidents, day after day
Some toll with an epic compete ness;
Some are tragic and stately and slow;
And some give a lyrical sweetness
To the hours as they greet US and go.
And the world coidiy pauses to edit
The efforts brought forth from the ranks
And some achieve lucre and credit,
And the rest are declined without thanks

There are two things which eastern i'm
migrants give especial consideration to
when change Of residence is contem-
plated-the school houses and the roads
These are conditions which In nine cases
out of ten determine q location. The
county which cannot afford schools and
good roads Is allowed to pass into the pos
session Of men who want neither. It may
easily be demonstrated that II the wear
and tear of vehicles, and II the term of a
horses useful life, are considered, city
makes an immense saving by the smooth
pavement. The expense for repairs may
be greater, but the life of vehicle or of a
rule applies to country roads They come
high, but in these days they are neces-
sity. Good roads make life in the country
more enjoyable. to say nothing of the
market they open to farmers, This is
form of improvement which can often be
paid for in work. A considerable portion of
the cost may be met by utilizing idle time.

ing from such a better understanding.
1t should not be difficult in this matter to
secure modification of the treaty. in view
OF the present tendency of events and SEN
timents. 1t Is well that the Senate has
placed itself on record as recognizing the
necessity OF establishing the principle Of
exclusive control at the outset of the pro-
cedure. This declaration Will have whole
some effect abroad.
In the matter of the route the Senate un-
doubleday acted wisely in accepting the
Spooner amendment. The bill as it stands
does not commit the government to any
particular line of canal, but leaves the case
open for such adjustment as the future may
require. The prime business in hand is
the establishment of a canal across the
isthmus under American auspices. 1t is of
secondary Importance whether this canal
be dug along one route or another, save
as affects the practicability of the enter
prise. What is wanted is access from
the Pacific to the Atlantic at a minimum
Of expense and of time. If it should be
found upon the actual assumption of the
undertaking that international difficulties
stand in the way of the adoption of the
Maritime company's route it will be posi-
Bile, under the provisions of the bill it
ITO" STANDS amended, to change to secure
the most practicable line elsewhere. The
Maritime company is to get actual cash
value for all that it has done up to the
present not to exceed S5,o00.0o0, and the
United States takes over its opportunities,
concessions, rights, works and materials,
becoming the majority holder of the stock
of the company. 1t can then choose for
itself and locate it's canal as it peases.
Under such terms the canal project be-
comes certain to command the support of
all who sincerely desire to see this neces-
sity supplied.

Good Roads Law in New jersey,

from the ItaVtnWOrth TipeS.
During the five years that the New Jersey
good roads law has been in operation 325
miles of road have been converted from
heavy sloughs of sand to hard smooth
ways, on which teams can travel with facil-
ity, drawing such loads as would be impos-
sible on the old system. The total cost has
been about $565 500, or about 81 $50 per
mile. This is something of burden on the
taxpayers but not nearly 50 much of one
as the bad roads and the people seem to
think it pays. as there is little or no de-
mand for the repeal of the law.

Stringent Laws Needed.
From the Baltimore American.

The Pure Food Congress has been in ses-
sion for several days at Washington and
reports show that some progress is being
made in the war against aduiteration. OF
course, there is very little dangerous food
offered for sale nowadays. The business
does not pay. but at the same time there is
too much adulteration going on, and the
only way to stop it is by the passage Of
more stringent laws and the strict enforce
ment of them.

 The Battery Park hotel, on little mountain of its own, in the city, yet above it. is the centre of attraction around which Asheville, the summer resort, hovers. It is the Waldorf-Astoria of Southern summer resorts-with its broad porticos, palm gar dens, music rooms, ten pin alleys, billiard rooms surrounded by tennis courts, golf links, lawns and everything conceivable to make life worth living. And you get your share of it all for just what 1t costs you to be uncomfortable and unclean at many other southern summer resorts.
