HITS M'CL.E'ARY
Tawney Denounces His Col
leagues Methods as to
Oleo Bill.
Declares That McCleary's
Action Is Without
Precedent.

From The Journal Bureau, Room Is. Post
6aftdtn0, WaShi3sQtO3t. r @'1
Washington Jan. 23.-Before the house
agriculture committee to-day Congress-
men McCleary and Tawney spoke in sup
port or their bills to regulate the sale OF
oleomargarin. McCleary spoke first, and
confined himself to plea for the passage
OF the Grout bill of the last congress
which is now his bill. 1t leaves a small
TAX on uncolored oleo. TaWney's places
uncolored oleo on the free list. Both bills
tax the colored article 10 cents pound.
MI TaWney in his speech referred quite
caust1cally to the methods Mr.. McCleary
mas fesorted to in advancing his bill, and
SAID IN the beginning of his address:
am here at the request of the COMMITTEES.
not for the purpose of urging you to support
my Dill or any particular bill. Any bill
"hlch the friends of the man who makes hon.
est Dutter may report from this committee
VIII receive my hearty support
IaWney then referred to the 'sgross
Misrepresentation that have been cir
culated throughout the country, especially
papers concerning the bill introduced, u
ana the strenuous attempt thus made to
dlscredit the bill and impugn the motives
or It's author; and although McCleary
was not named it was evident that TaW-
ney had him in mind. After giving a
history OF the attempted oleo legisla ton,
including the old Grout bill, TaWney said,
again referring to McCleary:
1t is common thing for those outside Of
congress to eneeavor to accomplish the same
end as the proposed legislation by praising
the measure in which they are interested, but
l doubt II prior to this congress, within the
experience of the oldest member of the house,
and certainly rot in my almost ten years, ex-
perlence, has member introduced bill and
then, by printed and written circulars sent
broadcast by him over his signature and
under his frank, sought to discredit the bill
OF a fellow member relating to the same sub.
ject and at the esame time endeavoring tc
discredit him by impugning that members
motives. That is not the practice of states.
men nor of gentlemen. 1t is childish.
TaWney's strongest argument against
the old Grout bill in addition to these
previously alluded to in these dispatches
was that it has recently been discovered
that it is possible for the purchaser OF
user Of uncolored cleo to color it with.
out remelting or remanufacturing
IF this is so,'' he said, 1.-The quarter
of cent tax on uncolored cleo is as OBJ.
jectionable as to tax it at all. The entire
oleo product would be uncolored and the
| retail dealers carefully instructed how
to color 1t, thereby enabling him to evadt
the entire tax" a.
Tawney advocated an amendment of the
legal definition of the word ''manufac
turers'' so as to make it cover the above
possible situation.

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
Defense Of the Indian.

.s. Defense of the Indian.
To the Editor of The Journal:
The order of Indian Commissioner Jones,
that some Of the Indian charges OF the gov
eminent shall cut off their long hair, discard
the use Of paint and the gaudy habiliments
of savagery, prompts me, as an aborigine, to
offer a few queries on this subject.
I know that 1t is always faVorte pastime
with some of the white citizens of the United
States to labor for the civilization and gen
eral social reform Of people other than his
own kind We see this In the history of his
treatment of the Indian and of the Filipino,
and in his efforts to convert the people Of all
other lands to his own narrow and anti
quated religious notions. But let me ask
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Ostensibly Wise-Man a
few questions.
II Mr.. Jones is going to civilize, or Jones'
ize, the Indian by compelling him to adopt
the white mans garb, what is he going to
prescribe as the correct style of dress? May
he be privileged to wear the Mackinaw suit
of the lumberjack, or the grotesque suit OF
the golfer? And as for the women, are they
to follow the padding fashion, now on their
stonachs and again on their hips? Are they
to drag through the grass and brush around
their camps in trailing skirts like their white
sisters? --..
If Mr.. Jones Is going to deprive the Indians
of the use of paint, how does he reconcile
that with the license allowed white women
to use paint and powder?
Mr.. Jones Is also, am informed, anx-
ious to break up the reservation system and
have the Indians earn their living by work
ing as white men do. LAS white men do
is good For every Indian on the reserva-
ton that lives on his annuity from the gov-
eminent, there are thousand able bodied
white men, loafers, idlers, gamblers thieves
tramps and Migrants in the United States
living on what they can steal and sponge
and beat Every town is full of them
There is not an Indian in this country who
is an object Of the governments charity. His
annuities have been fully paid for in the
lands that he has ceded. 1t may also be
noted here that the majority of the Indians
in all the states and territories are now en-
gagged in gainful ccupations-farming, stock
raising and other industries. How many
white men would go to work if they enjoyed
comfortable income from the government?

Explains the Expense.
Chairman E. S. Wiggin of the board Of
supervisors of the town of Hassan takes
exception to the criticism made by Coun-
ty Physician Kistler over the manner Of
dealing with diphtheria cases in the town
OF Hassan. DR.. Kistler thought that a
guard for diphtheria quarantine was I'M
necessary and that charge Of s25 for
fumigating the house was exorbitant.
Mr.. Wlggin says that in this particular
case the family was a large one. there
being several cases and one death in a
period of thirty days. He wants DR.
Kistler to explain how the town could
avoid furnishing an attendant If the fami-
ly was to be shut off from intercourse with
the public. He says further that DR..
Kistler was notified, but was not heard
from for twenty days.
The town at first sought to collect the
expense Of the quarantine from the state
board Of health from the $4,000 appro-
priated by the legislature for lighting
contagious diseases, but Dr. Bracken in

these two and the mayor and his secre-

hour. 1t was announced that no change

necessary within month or so to drop
at least ten men from the force in order
to keep within the appropriations He has
not yet decided, he said, where these men
could best be spared.
Before receiving the reporters Mayor
Ames perused the published stories of his
rumored intentions and of the many
troubles in the various departments of the
city government since his absence. To
the reporters DR.. AmeS said:
am in favor of thorough Investigation
into any municipal institution where there
has been sincere criticism as to the conduct
of affairs. AS to the hospital l will say that
believe there have been no overoharges as
reported. It is true that orders for goods
that had to be sent by express may show a
slight increase over the price that would
have been paid If the goods had been in
stock, but this excess, / believe was neces-
sary. Mr.. Thompson agreed that he would
furnish medicines for the hospital at as low a
rate as any druggist in this locality could
furnish them, and l believe he has done so.
However, 1 am anxious that there shall be
a careful investigation. I intend to stand by
my aDDointees until there is positive proof
that there is something wrong.
There is one thing l want to say about the
complicated state of affairs at the work
house, and that is this: l have always held
to the belief that the wife Of a public official
should not be admitted to an institution In
which he is employed. I cannot stand for

I wish to state emphatically that my health
was the only thing that entered into my de-
termination to withdraw from the congress

any one, and I have not regretted that did
it. It would have been suicidal for me to at
tempt the arduous campaign that would be
necessary.
I do not know that 1 shall be a candidate
for mayor next term. have rot been urged
by my friends to make the campaign, ano
only my health will determine whether OF

Mayor Ames said that he enjoyed his
vacation at the springs immensely and
that he was feeling much better as re-
suit.

I'VE take great pleasure in stating
that the Hon. Boies Penrose of Penn
sylvania was untiring in his efforts
to aid in the passage of this bill, which
is Of inestimable benefit to the dairy
interests, and we very much doubt If
it would have become a law, with its
many desirable features, If Senator
Penrose had not labored so earnestly
in its behalf.

to the farmers and dairymen, their
efforts were rendered unsuccessful.
