at Sherman who was arrested last week
for violating the postal laws, is still in
the Rutland county Jail in default of
$500 bail. 1t was supposed that Sherman
could easily get the necessary surety. but
he has not done so and may stay in Jail
until brought before the grand jury in
October. When arrested he had two re-
volvers and box nearly fun of car
tridges in his clothes. Asked why he had
them, Sherman replied: I've always car

they're a good thing sometimes to have

Another Blow at oleomarsarine.

Internal Revenue Commissioner
Yerkes has given a decision of great
Importance in regard to using palm
oil in the manufacture of oleomar-
garine. After the recent law was
passed by Congress, the manufactur-
ers of oleomargarine hoped to evade
its provisions by substituting palm oil
for cotton-seed oil in manufacturing
oleomargarine in order to give to the
bogus butter a coloring like that of
the genuine dairy product. They
would then set up the claim that palm
oil was one of the natural ingredients
of oleomargarine. The first samples
of oleomargarine made with palm oil
which were submitted to the commits.
sioner were rancid and odorous. The
chemist of the internal revenue
bureau pronounced this product Who'll.
ly unfit for use as a food. A second
sample contained large amount OF
free fatty acid, with disagreeable
odor and deep red or orange color
The commissioner decided that the
second sample was injurious to health

Clement and the Democrats are Civ
ing us rant and cant about the in
crease in state expenses. The in
crease is largely acc. rnted for by the
changes of the times. Other states
have had exactly the same experience
Our grandfathers did not have a state
board of health. Probably the penny
wise reformers would consider this
board one of the useless commits
sions" which ought to be abolished
But just consider what would have
happened the past two years with
frequent outbreaks of smallpox in
different parts of the state. Without
a board of health to enforce a quar-
antine and the adoption of modern
methods in guarding against the
disease we should have had an epi
demic of smallpox from one end OF
the state to the other, and the cost
would have been many times the en-
tire expense of maintaining the
state board of health.

1t is time for the Republicans of Ver-
mont to consider some of the remote
contingencies and to act accordingly.
Suppose that by coalition the Demo
Gratis and the Clement supporters
should control the next legislature.
What then? License direct, with
out reference to the people. And
what kind of license? Would it be a
free rum monstrosity like the Clement
bill of 1900? And with no candidate
for governor having majority of the
popular vote the election would be
thrown into the legislature. Con-
slider what the forces allied against
the Republicans might do. We might
get Clement for governor, the Demo
Gratis throwing support to him in re-
turn for votes for their senatorial can
didate; Clement for governor and then
McGettrick for the United States Sen
ate, or vice versa. And the supreme
court of Vermont might be entirely re-
vamped. Perhaps Jones, the Clement
cuckoo, the erstwhile disbarred at.
torney, might bob up as a Judge OF
the supreme court. 1t is the time
for every genuine Republican, for
every voter. to consider the situation
thoughtfully, and to act for the best
interests of the state.

The appointment by President
Roosevelt of Oliver Wendell Holmes
chief justice of the Massachusetts
supreme court, to the vacancy in the
United States supreme court, caused
by the resignation of Justice Gray
meets with universal approval. Judge
Holmes is a son of the illustrious DR.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, and was born
in Boston March s, 1S41. He gradual
ed from Harvard and from the law
school of that university, served with
distinction through the civil war, be
ing wounded three times. He was
editor of the American Law Review
a member of a Boston law firm, and
a professor of law at Harvard previous
to his appointment as associate jus
tice of the Massachusetts supreme
court by Gov. Long 20 years ago. He
was appointed chief justice by the
late Gov. Wolcott July 2S, 1899.

The men to elect to the Vermont
legislature this year are Republicans
who are in favor of submitting the
high-license localoption question to a
referendum, and who will vote for
Gen. Mccullough for governor and Will
liam p. Dillingham; for United States
Senator. The Democrats and many
of the local optionists who are support
ing Clement would like to see a high
license law enacted direct by the legis-
lature without any reference to the
people. The plan to which the Re-
publican party is committed is the
fairest one possible to devise.

which started from Buckingham palace

great demonstrations. Earl Roberts,
commander in chief of the forces, was
once more the hero of the hour, and,
next to the King himself, received the
heartiest welcome of the crowds.
Nearly 1000 members of the nobility,

princes, ambassadors. colonial rulers.
Indian potentates and leaders from all
quarters of the globe gathered in
Westminster Abbey to see the king
crowned. The aged Archbishop of
Canterbury was very nervous and was
almost prostrated while performing
a part of the ceremony.

The late Senator James Mcmillan
of Michigan was not fluent talker,
but his judgment, information and
weight of character exercised a great
influence. His strength and courage
were well expressed in his laconic
speech just before the Spanish-Ameri'

Michigan city sent him a memorial
protesting against intervention in
Cuba on the ground that it would in.

in full: "Mr. President: There are

The belief prevails in Washington
that Immediately after the November
elections President Roosevelt will
call an extra session of the entire Con-
gress, to enact reciprocity legislation,
or of the Senate to ratify il possible
a treaty with Cuba. 1t is understood
that a treaty with Cuba has been pre-

signatures of Secretary of State Hay

for the Senate.

This talk that the referendum plank
in the Republican platform is a sub.
terfuge is poorly founded. The Re-
publican party of Vermont has made
a direct and explicit promise. The
time to charge treachery is after some
evidence is at hand. If the Republican
party should repudiate the plank, or If
it should seek by evasion, equivoca.
tion or any of the subtleties of poll
tics to get around the issue, it would
be held accountable. Some of the
Clement men protest so much that
they are beginning to give the impress
sion that they do not wish to go to the
people on their pet issue. They pre-.
fer, like the Democrats, short cut
through the legislature.

and offensive in taste. The testi-
mony of the chemist showed that five
pounds of palm oil would so color 1900
pounds of oleomargarine that it could
be sold to the unsuspecting purchaser
as real butter. The commissioner
summing up of the evidence was that
a large amount of palm oil produced
an unhealthful product, and that
small quantity could not be used,
claiming it to be a natural ingredient.
He, therefore, rules that oleomarga-
rine thus colored artificially becomes
subject to the tax of 10 cents a pound
in accordance with the new law.

a wheat crop of 6,611 900 bushels.

unusual and high compliment of plac-
ing the United States troops under his
command for the occasion. Lieut.
