the dairy product of the United States is
limited to a comparatively small area,
the Northern states alone being able to
produce butter with success.
The contention that oleomargarine
must not be colcred to resemble colored,
or creamery butter, becomes ridiculous
when viewed in the light of common
sense. There are limitations for every
thing that is genuine and costly. It is
wise provision of nature to average up
the gross inequalities of the world
The plebeian furs are colored and
trimmed to initiate the aristocratic sable,
ermine and seal. The costly hard woods
are initiated in the cheap furniture for
the masses. The costly diamond has its
imitator: mercerized cotton assumes the
coloring and gloss of silk; shoddy is made
to resemble legitimate wooden weave;
these and thousands of other limitations
have lourished for years with no protest
from the genuine.
Butter is the first article to set UP the
principle involved in the Circuit bill pre-
vail, then every other article that is
worthy of imitation has the same right
to exclusiveness-all at the expense. OF. the
many, for the benefit of the very few.

Oleomargarine should be stamped in

STORIES OF MEN AND WOMEN.


Speaking of the difficulty students ex-
perience in remembering the exact situa-
ton of the mitrai and tricuspid valves OF
the heart, Prof. Huxley once remarked
that he remembered that the mitral $50
called from it's resemblance to the heaI-
gear of the church dignitary1 must be on
the left side, because a bishop could
never be in the right"
In one of his earliest eases, says the
Argonaut. Daniel O'Connell, the famous
Irish hberator, made a retort which at
tracted considerable attention TO him. He
was cross-examining an awkward wit
ness, who declared that he had drunk
nothing but mis- share of a pint of whis-
ky. ''On your oath, now" Numbered the
young counsel. ''was not your share all
but the pewter"
The superintendent of schools at STo-
kane, Wash, DESTROYS of testing the pow
ers of composition existing in a class of
eight-year-olds, requested that three SEN
fences be written, each to contain one
of the three words, bees boys and
bear" small girl laboriously concoct-
ed the following sentence: Boys bees
bare when they go in swimming"
Signor Brignoli once agreed to sing q
solo at st. Agnes church, in New York.
He arrived late and the sermon had
commenced, but Brignoi, unabashed,
leaned over the choir railing, and tri=d to
attract the attention of the preacher by
shaking his head and gesticulating wild
". At last he yelled out in a voice that
reached every corner of the church: Me
ready for re sing. Stoppe re preach!
Stoppe re preachr' And the priest ac-
tuafly cut the sermon short in ordsr to
accommodate the impatient tenor, who-e
voice now rang out with such fervor as
to thrill the worshipers and justify the
sacrifice.
Richard Henry Dana, the author OF
1.-TWO Years Before the Mast, told an
amusing story to William Dean Howells
of the Pacific trade, in which he said it
was very noble to deal in furs from the
Northwest, and very ignoble to deal in
hides along the Mexican and South
American coasts Every ships master
wished. naturally, to be In the fur carry

two vessels, one engaged in each of the

THE CIRCUIT BILL.

The bill to regulate the sale of oleo-
which has been before the agricultural
committee of the senate, will likely be
reported favorably to that body. There
will be. however, minority report and
the fight will be transferred to the floor
Of the other house. The bill has attract
ed universal attention by reason Of the
inequitable character of its provisions
and the dangerous. precedent that its pas
sage would establish It represents a
species of legislation that no general
government can indulge in without dan
ger 10 its people. 1t is a braz-
en- attempt of one industry to
annihiiate another industry, for no
other reason than that the latter inter-
feres, through legitimate and lawful COM
petition, with the profits of the former.
1t is a bold attempt to establish by fed
eral law a gigantic butter trust
Every sentiment of honesty and fair
dealing; every principle of equity and
public policy cries out against such d
measure, and yet the fact remains that
there was found a majority in the house
of representatives willing, or careless
enough of their public duty to vote for
this un-American measure. And the fur
ther fact appears. that in the United
States senate, composed of men repre-
senting states, the interests of eight
tenths of which are against the provis-
ions, as well as the spirit of this bill
there may be drummed-up a majority to
vote its passage.
It is admitted on every hand that oleo-
margarine is a wholesome food-product,
that neither the state nor the general
government can interfere with its manu-
facture and sale on the ground of sani-
tation 1t is further admitted that it
furnishes a substitute for butter to mil
lions Of the poorer classes who cannot
afford the high-priced articles from the
dairy. These are the facts in which the
public is interested. In the great point
of contention, the color, the public is not
interested. The attempt is made by the
butter interest to secure by direct legis-
lation a patent monopoly of a color, a
thing that is not patentable.
To the question-why should oleomar-
garinc be colored like butter? the reply
ssaCgnles naturally, why should it not be
colored like butter or anything else for
that matter, so long as the color pIeases
those who use it and is not deleterious
10 public health?
The plain facts are that the butter in
terests want monopoly of the field and

There is much of amusement as we'll

the way in which certain very patriotic

This class of irate patriots should take
up their cudgels and proceed to beIabor

same thing. Notwfthstandin that Mr..
Jones may be an Americ&n-and pre-

IRRIGATION AS A NATIONAL ISSUE


Secretary Hitchcock recently prepared
a statement on irrigation and submitted

gions concerned and their artificial dis

some of the richest agricultural lands in

crops when irrigated. In this manner.
opportunities for thousands and millions
of homes would be established in parts
of the United States that are now prac-
tically uninhabitable.
The creation of these homes, as the
secretary correctly claims, would mean
an enormous increase in the material
wealth of the nation the growth Of popu-
lation west of the Mississippi would en-
large the volume of trade and manufac-
ture throughout the rest of the country
and secure new markets for the manu-
featuring centers of the East. The sec
rotary points to the results accomplished
in the valley of the Nile in redeeming
Egypt from bankruptcy and making 1t
one OF the most progressive countries in
the world under the impulse of an i'm
proved system Of irrigat ton, and he es-
Inmates that such a system in this coun-
try would provide homes, directly and
indirectly, for 100000 people
It is, perhaps, safe to- say that this
is the most important question before
the people TO-DAY 1t concerns the mil
lions of homeseekers in all the states
of the Union; it appeals to all those who
are in any way connected with manu-
featuring interests, whether as employ
ers, or employees, as it would benefit
them by increasing the markets for man
ufactured goods; and it would have a
special interest to all the states along
the Mississippi. which are frequently in
vaded by drouths. These drouths are
mainly the result of prevailing, dry,
southwesterly winds. coming from the
arid regions of the Southwest. If those
regions could be irrigated, the winds
coming from that Director would lose
much of their dry, rainless character.
and drouths, such as Minnesota expert
enced last summer, would be much less
frequent in the states along the MssIs-
sippi river.
