day the Grout oleomargarine bill, in
which it is proposed to tax the colored
product, in imitation of butter, 10 cents
| a pound and uncolo1ed product 2 cents
| a pound, will be taken up. 1t is thought
the bill will not pass. Thirtythree
states, containing 81 per cent of the peo-
pie of the United States, have enacted
laws prohibiting the coloring of irnita-
ton butter to resemble pure butter
| The legislation sought in the Circuit bill
is not to protect butter makers, but to
! protect all the people against the fraud

products.

| A recent dispatch from Washington
says: Lord Kitchener's plan of opera
ton in South Africa, harsh though 1T
| appears to be, appeals to officials of the
| war department. and during the coming
campaign in the Philippines no mercy
| is to be extended to those in active re-
! bellion or those who give aid or comfort

| to give the Filipinos a taste of real war
and though the innocent may suffer, it
is only by this means, it is believed,

The regular winter carnival of crime
has been fully inaugurated in Chicago.
Not a night or day passes without the
report of from three to half a dozen
burglaries, brutal hold-ups or murder
Gus assaults. The police seem dazed

which more than II, 600 were for robbery
and burglary. The hold-ups and burglar

that the average citizen stands appalled,.

gerry seems to have opened up a little

A Newark IN. j. millionaire built a
spite fence thirty feet high between his
house and neighbor with whom he
had a quarrel A law has been drawn
up for introduction in the next legis-
iature of that state to prevent the cree
ton of a fence over seven feet high in
any city or town. This should be the
case in all states. One of the meanest
and pettiest forms that malice can take
is the spite fence, and the law should
certainly not sanction it. The Glance
man recalls seeing a spite fence twenty
feet high between houses on lots facing
pretty park in Council Bluffs, 10.
1t may not be possible to have all
your friends together tomorrow but
you can make those dear to you feel
good by some little remembrance, il

| quotations, the kind that inspire courage
