points out that the total number Of pro-

are rivers and l46 harbors. and that

Hearings on the Oleomargarlne bill
are going on before the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture, and some very
plain talking is being INDUCED in, par
ticulary by the supporters OF the bill.
For instance, Dairy Commissioner
Blackburn, Of Ohio, told the Committee
thai he found it almost impossible to
successfully prosecute infractions Of the
Oleonargarine law in the large cities
Of Ohio, because Of the influence Of
the Oleomargarine dealers with the
press and because of their solicitation
OF jurymen. This opponents Of the bill
are also quite aggressive. One OF them,
H. C. Pirrung of Columbus, Ohio,
boldly took the ground that the so-called
natural butter is nothing less than a
manufactured product. 1t is regarded
as practically certain that the bill will
be favorably reported to the Senate,
but there is a wide difference Of opin-
ion as to whether 1t will be voted upon
at this session. If not. all the work
done in getting 1t through the House
will have to be done over again at the
next Congress.
Senator McComas, who belonging
to the opposition party al speak with
out prejudice, said on a subject that is
is being much discussed in political
circles: Bryan is an able man with
much magnetic and mental force and
he is certain always to have a following
Of some magnitude. Beyond all mere
political beliefs. however, Bryan Is a
Socialist. Anyone who has studied
the growth Of Socialism in Europe,
has seen 1t take positive hold of Ger
many and Belgium and France, has
watched its progress in England, where
It has developed 70 a degree which in
terferes with British Commercial
supremacy. must realize that the day
is not far distant when socialism will
sweep through the U. S. When that
day comes. Bryan will be the great
soclalistic leader. He will have follow
ers from the Republican as we'll as
from the Democratic and Populist
parties, and If hard times should come,
arouslng envy and jealousy, Bryan
would be a dangerous candidate.
This, in myjudgement. is to be Bryan's
future to become the great Socialistic
leader in the U. s.
Prof. F. H. Parsons, Of Boston, pre-
sented arguments before the Industrial
Commission. in favor Of government
ownership of all transportation facilities,
and in fact. Of all public utilities. He
said railroads had reduced through
rates, but that there had been scarcely
any reduction in local rates during the
last thirty years.
A majority of the House showed
their lack Of sympathy with the race
discussion that began as soon as Rep
resentatiye Olmstead, Of Pa, seriously
tried to push his resolution of provid-
ing for an investigation Of the restric-
ton Of suffrage in southern States be-
fore disposing Of the reapportionment
bill, BY voting 10 send the resolution to
to committee to die. The leaders on
both sides were taken by surprise and
helped 10 get the troublesome question
out Of the way as speedily as possible.
