THE PROPOSED TAX ON OLEO.
MARGARINE,

The attempt to induce Congress Ia
put special tax of 10 cents pound
upon oleomargarinc Is an assault upon
legitimate industry that is not .justi-
fled by any considerations of public
health or public sentiment.
Notwithstanding the absence of any
public clamor for protection" against
olcomargarnc, public sentiment un.
doubleday supports any legislation com
polling manufacturers to plainly label
1t and sell 1t for what 1t really is. That
this Is as far as legislation can legiti-
mately go has been indicated by several
decisions of State Supreme Courts. in
which 1t has been held that so long as
the ingredients of olcomargarine were
shown to be pure and wholesome and
not deleteriOus to health any special
tax imposed upon IL was ''class legisla.
ton and hence a violation of the Con.
stitution.
The demand for the special tax upon
cleo proceeds from the dairylng and
creamery interests, not from the con-
sumers of butter. The Times. Herald
favors any legislation that Is calculated
to insure the purity and wholesOmeness
of dairy products. The people who pre-.
fer creamery butter are entitled to ev.
cry safeguard against adulteratlon
which the law can provide. The dairy
and creamery interests are also entitled
to full protection against compounds
that may be sold In the market as pure
creamery butter"
But there Is nothing in the Grout bill
that was passed by the lower house
which guarantees the purity of cream
cry butter. 1t merely proposes to tax a
great and growing industry, employing
millions of dollars of capital and thou
sands of men, out Of existence. thereby
compelling the consumers of olcomar.
garlne to buy creamery butter whether
they want II or not.
The people who want olcomargarinc
should have the privilege of buying IT.
as such. Congress should not place II
beyond their reach by excessive taxa.

bill and 1t becomes u law there IL little
doubt that the United States Supreme
Court will knock It out rs "class lcgis. |

THE GOSPEL OF SAVING.

In the Christmas number OF the Sa,
urday Evening Post Russell Sage DR.,
sents some OF the best advice that Ia
ever been given to young men regard
Ing the handling of their money. Ii
the course Of the article he says:
mo matter how fast a man ma,
make money. he owes 1t to society a.
well as to himself to be economical.
ANY young man who will live up /,
the following set of rules will get NOR,
genuine happiness out of life than hi.
neighbOr who violates them.
"Out of every dollar earned save %
cents. Save 70 cents II you can, bu,
never less than %.
Get up at u regular hour every morn.
Ing, and work until the things that are
before you are finished. Don't drop
what you have In hand because II Is 8
o'clock.
he honest: always have the courage
to tell the truth.
Don't depend on others. Even IL
you have a rich father strike out for
yourself.
"Cnltivate independence at the very
outset.
Learn the value Of money. Realize
that 1t stands, when honestly made, rs
the monument to your value as a citi.
zen.
BE jealous Of your civic rights. Take
Il wholesome interest In public affairs,
hut do not let politics. or anything else,
Interfere with the rigid administra ton
OF your private duties. The State Is
made up of individuals.
BE clean and decent. Don't do any.
thing that YOU would be ashamed to
discuss with your mother.
Don't gamble.
BE circumspect In your amusements
In connection with amusements, 1
have never been able to understand
why the young men of to-day deem the
theater IN absolute essential in seeking
diversion. An evening with a good
book Is, or ought to be, more satisfying
to the young man of brains than an
evening In hall where a lot of make
believe characters are strutting up and
down the stage, like children at n mas.
When the human race reach

VIII probably be no theaters." Il

ROBERT p. mr. FOR SENATOR,

candidate for United States Senator
to succeed Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom.
This was definitely announced ut Il
meeting of State Senators ana Repre-
sentatlyes for Mr.. Hits congressional
district, held in the Great Northern Ho-
tel. For some time 1t has been rli-
mored with more or less authority from
Mr. Hits friends that he would be
candidate, but the report has been de-
MED by others, chiefly by the friends of
Senator Cullom. In what purportcd to
be list Of the legislators who would
vote for Senator Cullom, published re-
Gently, We're included the names Of the
legislators from Mr. Hits district.
This set the Hit men to work. Mr..
Hit was communicated with, and he
was told that if he intended to get into
the field for the senatorship he would
have to declare himself soon. He re-.
piled that he would be candidate. and
advised his friends TO 20 to work for
him AT once. The result was that the
members from his district who were in
Chicago met and formally announced

CAHiLL'S GOOD WORK.

The latest semi-annual report of Pat
rick j. Cahill, Clerk of the Criminal
Court, shows the affairs of that office
to be in most satisfactory state
When Mr.. Cahill assumed his new du.
ties two years ago most of the records
were far from being kept up to date.
Many items Were four years behind
and the arrearages ranged from that
amount down to few months. BY the
end OF the first year of his term In office
the new clerk had brought One-half of
the delinquent items to date, and he
Is now able to issue a report at the
end of the second year showing the en-
tire business of his Office to be COM
pleted practically to date. This Is a
record of industry and faithfulness that
deserves praise. 1t Is a good demon
stratiOn of the results that can be
achieved when business-like man
takes hold of the duties of a public
office with the same vigOr and ability
as he would give to a private enter.

CHY NAV SELL UNIFORMS.

Alderman Brennan, OF the Tenti
Ward, believes that he has found a
solution to the difficulty experienced In
both the fire ana police departments
because OF the stringent restrictions
over the making of uniforms. He will
ask the Councils judiciary Committee
to authorize the letting of bids accord,
Ing to specifications SO that the city's
purchasing agent may secure bolts OF
the goods desired direct from the mills
ana provide the members of both de.
partments with as much as they desire
at cost price.
The representative from the Tenth
ward would allow tiremen and police
men to go anywhere they pleased to
nave the suits made, provided that they
satisfied inspection. In order to secure
the Improvement advocated by Alder
man Brennan he deems it necessary to
ask that an ordinance be drawn along
the lines suggested. He would have
the measure sent back to the Council
as a substitute for the Pike resolution,
which the committee Is considering ana
which allows the fremen to purchase
the material anywhere they please. The
Pike resolution, in the estimation of
Mr.. Brennan, does not go far enough
In that 1t restricts the members of the
fire department to the product Of one
mill.
According to the rules at present in
vogue In that service its members are
not only restricted to one kind of goods,
but they must patrOnize a particular
concern in making their purchases. AZ
ter the material Is bought they may
patronize any tailor, but by that time
1t Is claimed that all opportunity for
q more favorable rate Is lost. In the
police department the members are re-
strlcted to two grades Of cloth, one of
which is said to be greatly superior In
texture to the other. The bluecOats are
permitted, however, to get the material |

PLAN A MIDNINTER CONVENTION.

Republican politicians are talking of
holding Il midwinter convention to
nominate city officials to be elected
next April. 1t was said Tuesday that
the leaders OF the Republican county
machine were In favor of this scheme
on the theory that early action would
head Off opposition to the machine
slate. Friends of William Boldenweck
SAID that Mr.. BOldenweck became
aware OF the scheme several weeks ago,
anu for that reason came out early as
a candidate.
According to reports current Tuesday
the Republican city convention will be
called to meet the last of January or
the first part of February.
EX-Ald. Arthur Dixon sprung a may
orally boom for Judge Hanecy Tues
day. He said that friends of Judge
Hanecy In the South Town intend to
bring him forward as their candidate
for Mayor, although Judge Hanecy Is
not 0veranXious to mix up in grand
free-for-all scrap ut the primaries.
Judge Hanecy has said several times
that he was not and would not be
candidate for Mayor, and his closest
friends have discouraged all talk of his
candidacy. They said he might be
candidate for Governor In 1904, ana
perhaps might step into the ring as
for Senator to succeed Sem
at0r William n. Mason.

We publish card from Hon.
Chas. e. Hogg, this morning, de-
clining to be candidate for nom
ination for Judge of the Supreme
Court of Appeals, of this State.
This declination of Mr.. Hogg,
will be regretted by his many
friends throughout the State. who
were warm supporters of his for
this nomination. He had a large
following of supporters in the
State, who would liked to have seen
him upon the bench, not only be-
cause of his personal popularity,
but rather because he is olassed as
among the ablest iurists in the
State, and would have added much
to the legal ability and strength of
the Court.
But Mr.. Hogg being loyal to his
county candidate Judge English,
who, is now standing for re-nomin-
alton. felt that il was his duty
as we'll as incumbent upon him to
withdraw aud not hamper Mr.. Eng-
lish in his candidacy for nomina-
tion, by causinga divided delega-
tion from Mason county.

Kentucky.


The recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
from the pen of that eminent Jur-
tst, Chief Justice Fuller, settling
negatively the question of that
Courts jurisdiction in the Ken
tuoky imbroglio, has the clear, re-
sonant ring of the better days of
the Republic. Suoh an opinion,
at this time, is doubly grateful to
the country, in that it trestores
peace to all who dwell in that love-
ly section of the iUnion, once the
homo of Clay, Breokinridge and
Crittenden, while it warrants the
hope of we'll informed Justice,
when the august Tribunal passes
judgment upon the Constitutional
ity of the unhappy enforcement of
the Flag and the Constitution in
Porto Rico by recent Congression-
al legislation.
The late decision, in the restora
ton of popular oonfdsnoe in that
Court of last resort, SO sadly Grip
pied by it's decision on the Income
Tax question, will do an immense
amount of unmixed good. Itshows
clearly that, mindful of it's high
commission to guard the liberties
of the people, it is ever mindful al
SO, of the heightened obligation to
safeguard the memory of Taney,
Story and Marshall, that great Tri-
umvirate of high legal learning
and spotless integrity, when organ
ic Law, and not the Trusts, ruled
the land. 1t shows that there is
yet hope for the Republic, so long
as the Supreme Court regards itself
as vestel Virgin, whose sworn
duty it is to ever replenish the fra
grant oil of Justice in Liberty's
lamp, upon the Republio's High
alter, by which every freeman can
maintain his guaranteed rights.
In congratuleting the country
upon this most opportune decision
we can but hope that Kentucky,
over whose fair borders the clouds
of threatened bloody revolution
have hung for months, may be per-
mitted to drop and kedge her anch-
or in the safe roadstead of Democ-
racy.
