THE USUAL RESULT.


Another oleomargarine case was decid-
ed before Judge Tawney in Winona the
other day, and the result completely vim
dictates the position taken by the G % @
in a recent editorial, with respect to the
limit beyond which prosecution of deal
ers in bogus butter must fail.
OF course the Winona case was prose-
cuted under the state law, forbiddIng the
use of coloring matter for the purpose
of initiating the appearance Of genuine
butter, but if the state law is valid un-
der any given circumstances it is eyi-
dent that the officers prosecuting this
case are unable to make the distinction.
The decision of the court in favor Of the
oiee people Goes not necessarily con-
denim the anti-coloring clause as wholly
unconstitutional, but it certainly is n
rebuIee to the officers who brought the
case into court.
The correct theory of law in this field
is that the oleos makers have no right
to pass their product off on the public
as genuine dairy butter, and so far as
the use of co1oring matter assists in per-
petrating such fraud on the public there
may be a measure of virtue and validity
in the law. If the colored oleo is sold
for what it is, no deceit is involved, aud
successful prosecution is impossible. 1t
is simply a question, so far as the pub
lie officers are concerned, Of what is pos
sible under constitutional law, not what
is desirable; yet most of them proceed
on the theory that their part is to knock
out the oleo industry altogether. They
shape their prosecution on that theory
and always meet defeat, as they did be-
fore Judge Tawney. In this case the
oleo people made no defense, except to
show that they had been selling oleo as
oleo, not as butter, and that all who
purchased knew full we'll that oleo was
being bought. With this showing the
elaborate plan of prosecution and It's
erudite argument fell fiat
Butter is not an exclusive private
properly; it is not patented or copyright
ed. 1t cannot be unlawful to initiate it,
unless the purpose and effect is to de-
fraud. Bearing this simple statement
In mind, any man Of intelligence, though
not a lawyer, ought to be able to dis
tinguish between the possible and the
impossible in prosecution Of oleo makers
and dealers. And this same under
standing ought to lead the officers to
pay less attention to makers and retail
ers and take care Of the hotel and res
taurant keepers, who know just what
they are buying, and are therefore not
defrauded, but whose patrons think they
are eating genuine butter. Private fam
lilies do not, as a rule, buy oleomargarine
a all il they can help it, and as a gen.
eral thing nobody is fooled up to the
time the keepers of hotels, restaurants
and boarding houses commence to feed
their patrons After all, 1t is the man
who actually eats the stuff that is chief
ly injured by fraud, and there is plenty
of work for the officers In the direction
Of making sure that the consumer OF
oleo knows what he Is eating. Activity
along this line would do more good to
the dairy interests than dozen prose
cutions every day like the one just dis
posed Of by Judge Tawney

STORIES OF THE STREET.

''This show In Old Kentucky Is a.
blankety blank nuisance" exclaimed the
petulant bartender, as he mopped the
Precipitation from his brow after dumping
two bar glasses full of Ice and green
vegetation into the sink.

sympathetic listener.
Mint 1uleps," he replied ''Every gawt
that goes to the show comes in and
wants mint julep. He don't know what
1t is, and does not care but he has to
have his curiosity satisfied, and-well. it's
more work to make a mint ju1ep in q bar
than any other drink In the world. Do
you know the right way to drink mint
juleps?''
The sympathetic listener shyly admit
ted that when It came to mint, juleps his
standing as a connoisseur might be read
lily impeached by an expert.
We'll, the way to drink mint juleps Is
to have 'em made by the tub, by
servant, with another to bring them to
you as fast as you can send back the
glasses.
