OILY Butter.
Ingredients and Conditions That
Make Butter Soft.

Ingredients and Conditions That
Make Butter Soft.
A condition from which the butter
might be termed oily" may come from
several different causes, says G. A.
Smith in The Rural New Yorker. The
principal oils going to make up normal
butter fat are olein, about 40 per cent,
stearin and palmatine, about 80 per
cent. Olein is the factor which tends
to make the butter soft, the melting
point being considerably below that of
normal butter, while stearin and pal
matine are the factors tending to make
it hard, the melting point being con
siderably above that of normal butter.
The combination Of the two in the
above proportions makes butter with a
good texture. When from any cause
there is an excess of either one, then
we have butter either too hard or too
soft. When the COW Genes fresh In
milk there appears to be Il considerably
larger proportion of the easier liquefy-
ing fats, the butter being quite soft; as
she advances in iactatlon the butter
gradually becomes more solid, and at
the latter end of the period becomes
quite hard. Certain foods appear to
have u tendency TO change the texture
OF the butter, clover, oilmeal and that
class OF foods making it soft, while
cottonseed meal, timothy hay. corn
stalks, etc, have the opposite effect.
When the cow fresh in milk Is put on
the clover pasture it requires extra
skin to avoid an oily condition In the
butter, while If she had cornstalks and
cottonseed meal it would help ma
terially in making the butter hard.
The way the cream IS obtained has
a marked effect on the butter, other
conditions being equal. When the
milk is drawn from the COW the fat
is liquid If the cream is raised in
pans in O cool cellar, or by submerging
the milk in cold water the usual time
for gravity creaming. the fat becomes
thoroughly solidlled, and there is very
little trouble with oily butter. If, on
the other hand, the cream is secured
by using a centrifugal separator and
the cream never cooled below IS to 60
degrees f., the fat is not as thorough
ly solidiied. and the result is oily but
ter. Oily butter may come from the
action of bacteria, but it is not usual

THE TRUST QUESTION.
Republican Party Lacks Either Desire o

ANSPuOAACtau L1Ak0cT OGS1f8 or
Ability to Deal with It.
The platform very properly gives
prominence to the trust question. The
appalling growth of combinations In
restraint of trade during the present
administration, proves conclusively
that the Republican party lacks either
the desire or the ability to deal with
the question effectively. If as may be
fairly assumed from the speeches and
conduct Of the Republican leaders. that
party does not intend to take the peo-
pies side against these organizations
then the weak and qualified condem-
nation of trusts to be found In the Re-
publican platform is designed to dis
tract attention while Industrial despot-
ism is completing its work. A private
monopoly has always been an outlaw.
No defense can be made of an indus
trial system in which one, or a few
men, can control for their own profit.
the output or price of any article of
merchandise. Under such system the
consumer suffers extortion, the produ-
Ger of raw material has but one pur-
chaser, and must sell at the arbitrary
price fixed; the laborer has but one
employer, and is powerless to protest
against injustice, either In wages or
in conditions of labor; the small stock
holder is at the mercy of the specula-
tor, while the travelling salesman con-
tributes his salary to the overgrown
profits Of the trust Since but a small
proportion Of the people can share In
the advantages secured by private
monopoly, 1t follows that the remain
der Of the people are not only ex-
cluded from the benefits, but are the
helpless victims of every monopoly or
ganized. 1t is difficult to over-estimate
the immediate injustice that may be
done, or to calculate the ultimate eff
feet of this injustice upon the social
and political welfare of the people.
Our platform, after suggesting certain
specific remedies, pledges the party to
an unceasing warfare against private
monopoly in nation, state and city.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
II Is Absolutely Essential to the Welfare
of the United States.

II Is Absolutely Essential to the Welfare
of the United States.
The dostrine enunciated by Monroe,
and approvedby succeeding presidents,
is essential to the welfare Of the
United States. The continents of
North and South America are dedi-
Gated to the development Of free gov
eminent. One republic after another
has been established, until today mon
| archial idea has barely a foothold in
the new world
While it is not the policy Of this
country to interfere where amicable
relations exist between European
countries and their dependencies in
America, our people would look with
disfavor upon any attempt on the part
| of European governments to maintain
an unwilling or forcible sovereignty
over the people living on this side Of
| the Atlantic.
The position taken by the Republic
an leaders, and more recently set
forth by the Republican candidate for
| the presidency, viz: That we cannot
protect nation from outside inter-
ference without exercising sovereignty
over its people, is an assault upon the
| Monroe doctrine, for while this argu-
ment is at this time directed against
| the proposition to give to the Filipinos
both Independence and protection, it
is equally applicable to the republics
of Central and South America. If this
| government cannot lend its strength to
another republic without making sub
jects of its people, then we must
| either withdraw our protection from
the republics to the south of US or alb
sorb them. Under the same plea, that
| the guardian nation must exert an au-
! thority equal to its responsibility, Eu-
ropean nations have for centuries ex-
| plotted their wards, and it is q sig
| nificant fact that the Republican party
should accept the European idea Of a
| proteetorate, at the same time that it
adopts a European colonial policy.
| There is no excuse for this abandon
ment Of the American idea. We have
maintained the Monroe doctrine for
three-quarters of a century. The ex-
pense to US has been practically moth
ing, but the protection has been beyond
value to our sister republics. If a
Filipino republic is erected upon the
ruins Of Spanish tyranny, its protec-
ton by us will be neither difficult nor
expensive. No European nation would
be willing for any other European ma
ton to have the islands, neither would
any European nation be willing to pro-
woke a war with US in order to obtain
possession Of the islands, If we as
sert sovereignty over the Filipinos we
will have to defend that sovereignty by
force, and the Filipinos win be our
enemies; if we protect them from out
side interference, they win defend
| themselves and will be our friends. If
they show as much determination In
opposing the sovereignty of other ma
lions as they have shown in opposing
our sovereignty. they viii not require
much assistance from US.

They Should BE Construed According 60
Spirit That Prompted Passage.
The party expresses Its pride In the
soldiers and sailors Of all our wars.
and declares its purpose to deal gen
erously with them and their depend
ents. A liberal policy is natural and
necessary in a government which de-
ponds upon a citizen soldiery, instead
Of large standing army. Self-inter-
est, as well as gratitude, compels the
government to make bountiful pro-
vision for those who, In the hour of
danger, and at great sacrifice Of busi-
ness, health and life. tender their
services to their country.
The pension laws should be con-
strued according to the generous spirit
which prompted their passage. The
platform very properly reiterates the
position taken in 1896, that the fact Of
enlistment shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that the soldier was sound
when the government accepted him.
a certificate given now to the health OF
q person 40 years ago, even If easily
obtainable, should not have as much
weight as the certificate OF the medical
officer who examined the volunteer
with a view of ascertaining his fitness
for army service.
The Democratic party is In favor Of
the immediate construction, ownership
and control of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. The failure of the
Republican party to make any prog
ress in carrying out pledge contained
In its platform four years ago, together
with the substitution In Its latest plat
form of plank fayoring an isthmian
canal for a specific declaration IN fa-
vor Of the Nicaraguan canal would In
dicate that the Republican leaders
either do notappreciate the Importance
of this great waterway to the mari
time strength and commercial inter-
ests of the country, or that they give
too much consideration to the interest
ed opposition of transcontinental lines.
The Hays-Pa uncefote treaty, now be-
fore the senate, would, If ratified,
greatly lessen the value of the canal,
If 1t would not indeed convert it into
positive menace in time of war The
paramount interests of the United
States in the western hemisphere, to-
gether with the obligations to defend
the republics to the south of us, makes
it necessary that our government shall
be able to close the canal against any
hostile power.
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma
have long been ready to assume the
responsibilities and enjoy the privi-
ieges of statehood, and 1t win be
pleasure, as well as a duty, to carry
out the platform pledge concerning
them.
There viii be popular acquiescence
in the demand for home rule, and
territorial form of government in
Alaska and Porto Rico. Both are en-
titled to local government and
representation In congress.

By inadyertence the income tax

ject, however, is covered by the re-

my belief in the principle which under

have authority to levy and collect an
income tax whenever necessary, and
an amendment to the federal constt-
tuition specifically comforting such au-
thority ought to be supported by even
those who may think the tax unneces-
sary at this time In the hour of

THE LABOR QUESTION.
Abolition of Government by Injunction
Is Necessary.


Several planks of the labor platform
are devoted to questions in which the
laboring classes have an immediate
interest, but which more remotely eff.
feet our entire population. While what
is generally known as government by
injunction is at present directed chief
~ against the employees of corpora
tions. when there is a disagreement be-
tween them and their employer, it in
wolves a principle which concerns ev-
cry one. The purpose of the injunc-
ton in such eases is to substitute trial
by Judge for trial by jury, and is
a covert blow at the jury system The
abolition of government by injunction
is as necessary for the protection Of
the reputation of the court. as it is for
the security of the citizen. Blackstone
IN defending trial by jury, says:
"The impartial administration of
Justice, which secures both our per-
sons and our properties is the great
end of civil society, but if that be en-
trusted entirely to the magistracy, a
select body Of men, and those selected
by the prince such as enjoy the high
est offices of the state. their decisions
in spite of their natural integrity, Will
have frequently an involuntary bias
toward those of their own rank, and
dignity. 1t is not to be expected from
human nature that the few would be
always attentive to the interests and
good of the many"
If the criminal laws are not sufficient
for the protection of property, they
can be made more severe, but a clti-
zen charged with crime must have his
case tried before jury of his peers.
The blacklist as now employed in
rome places enables the employer to
place the employe under practical du-
ress, for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him, but prevent his
securing any similar employment. The
blacklist enables employers to secure,
by mutual agreement, that control
over fhe wage earners which a private
monopoly exercises without contract.

Importance of the platform recon-
mendation of the establishment of a
department of labor, with a member
of the cabinet at its head. When we
remember how important a position
the laborer fills In our economic, So
cial and political fabric, 1t Is hard to
conceive of a valid objection being
made to this recognition of his serv-
ices. Agriculture is already represent
ed in the presidents official household;
the army and navy have their repre-
sentatiYes there; the state department,
with its consular service, and the
treasury department, with its close
connection with fiscal affairs, keep the
executive in touch with the business
and commercial interests. A cabinet
officer truly representative of the wage
earning class would be of invaluable
aid, not only to the .toilers. but to the
president.
The Chinese exclusion act has proven
an advantage to the country, and its
continuance and strict enforcement, as
well as its extension to other similar

Asiatic is SO essentially different from
the American that he cannot be as
simulated with our population, and is,
therefore, not desirable as a permanent
citizen. His presence as a temporary
laborer, preserving his national identi-
ty, and maintaining foreign scale of
wages and living, must ever prove an
injustice to American producers, as
well as perpetual source Of irritation.

: for Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means Of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for q
thing, cannot do everything. It may
create q sale for time, but in order
tesusure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. It has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
Is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. It has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Tinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years OF experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
