very bad practice, and sooner or later

THE oLEoMARGARlNE BILL.

in spite of the vigorous fight against

lne bill by a Vote of 50 to 81. The meas
i3nre provides that oleomarsarine and kin
dred products shall be subject to all the
laws and reSu:a icons o. any State of Ter
titory into which they are imported; that
any person who sells oieomargarire or
Furnishes it for the use of any other ex-
cept his own family, who shall mix with
st any artificial coloration which causes
st TO look like butter shall be held to the
tax provided by the existing law; that
upon oleonargarine colorcd so as to re-
eemblc butter a tax shall be levied OF
ten cents a pound, but upon oleomargarine
not colored the tax shall be one-fourth of
one cent a pound.
we believe in laws to prevent food adul-
Iteration and if this bill were honest il
oleomargarine colored so as to represent
butter were really an unwholesome
product, it would DO all right for the
y Government to take steps &c protect the
people against It
But we have two very serious objcc-
lions TO the bill as it passed the Senate
First OF all. it is not an honest meas
urc. 1t is not designed to protect the
people against an unwholesome article OF
food because it IS confessed that oleo-
margarine is entirely wholesome. The
object OF the bill is to protect the great
Dairy interests OF the West against COM
I petition with the olcomargarine industry
Our other objection is that the taxing
power IS here used as regulative
agency. we hold that that principle Is
: vicious and utterly at variance with DEM
ocracy. I. is bad enough under tho most
favorable circumstances FOR the Govern
rnent to exercise the taxing power for

when the horse became unmalla cea HE and
ran furiously down one of the streets. the

those who witnessed the thrilling scene
expected it to result in sudden and shock
ing death.

dld not simply look on, but catching sight
tine lying steed, rushed to the rescue,
and at imminent peril of his own life,
seized the rein Of the bride and after be-
ing dragged some distanc, succeeded in
stopping the animal. While rubbing his
bruises some one asked him as to his ven

coming. and didn't want to see that
pretty lady and the little girl hurt so l
tried to stop him. He nearly jerked my
arms out, but stopped him.
And then Wesley took car and went
on to Fulton.
OF such stuff are the. worlds heroes
