THE oLEoMAReARINE BILL,

Boston Herald: Washington ac-
counts agree that the oleomargarine
measure was forced through an un-
willing senate as the effect of the
lack OF courage on the part of those
Who were by conviction opposed to
II to vote according to their Judgment.
1t was really so Objectionable a bill on
its face, that it is hard to see how
any man acting from sound reasoning
could give it support. 1t undertook
to use the taxing power of the gov
ernment to tax legitimate production
out OF existence. 1t was not contend
ed that oleomargarine was other tina
"a healthful product. It injured no one
as an article of food, and by it's low
price it was a. boon to many. But it
stood in the way of the sale of butter
at a high price, and it must, there
fore, be tabooed. It was pitiful to
witness the squirming of acute law
yers, like Spooner Of Wisconsin, and
others, to convey the impression that
the object of the bill was not to pre-
vent revenue, rather than the raising
OF It,, as purported to be it's intention.
But either the farming interest was
embodied in it's favor, or members of
the senate were made to believe that
it was, and thus they did not dare to
vote their honest convictions. They
did muster courage, however, to in
clude the coloring of Renovated" but
Tor in the prohibitions Of the bill.

HARD ON JONES.

Washington Post: Governor JEFF
Davis of Arkansas, seems disposed to
twist the knife around now that he
has it buried in the vitals of Senator
James K. Jones. He has just written
a letter and sent it to all his friends
saying: Don't let a Jones man come
to the state convention, if possible,
because his friends, in my Judgment,
would thwart any proposition might
entertain. I want a platform written
by the next state convention so ring
ing and clear that no man will mis-
take it and that will commit the party
of my native state to the destruction
of all trusts and combines that are
inimical to the welfare of the people,"
Senator Jones political enemies are
evidently not satisfied with burying
him. They propose to execute a war
dance yer his grave.

GRATING IN ST. LOUIS.

Chicago Tribune: What kind Of
men were they who did these things
Were they exceptionally clever? Had
thay unusual powers of mind? Not al
all. Some Of them were utterly il
literate and lacking in ordinary intel
ligence, unable to give a better rea,
son for favoring or opposing a meas.
ure than a desire to act with the ma
jority. In some no trace of mentality
or morality appeared; in others a low
order of training could be found, unit
ed with a base cunning, groveling in
stincts, andsordid desires. These were
the men who yer able to hold a city
by the throat. If the thing had been

bad enough, for the depositism even
of genius is irksome. A despotism 5ex-

the bounds of municipal endurance.

NEW YORK AND NEBRASKA.

& .s
New York World (dem.): Mr.. Bryan
in his Commoner suggests the name
of Editor Norman E. Mack of Buffalo
as the democratic candidate for gov.
ernor of New York. He mentions as
a qualification the fact that Mr.. Mack
supported the national ticket in
1896"
Mr.. Mack is a good democrat and
an able publisher, but if only those
who supported the ticket" in 1896
are eligible to candidates. or to a
voice in party management, the de-
mocracy of this state would still be
in a minority of 26S, 4S9 in the election.
But as one suggestion invites an
other, the editor of the Commoner will
not, we trust, resent the return advice
that he try to pick out a winning dem
ocratic candidate in his own state,
which has now been carried by the re-
publicans for two years in succession,
the last time by nearly 10000 majority.
New York can perhaps worry along by
and for itself, as it did in 1897, when
the democrats, by ignoring the plat
form and candidate of the previous
disastrous year, elected Judge Parker
by mere than $4,000 majority.

THE PRESIDENT At CHARLESTON

Minneapolis Journal: President
Roosevelt, in his brusk and breezy
speech at Charleston last night, show
ed himself to be an apostle Of peace
and prosperity rather than the 'man
on horseback" who, as Watterson
says, is .sslyly peeping out Of the stable
yard Of the white house in the person
of Theodore Roosevelt" Vain are
Watterson's agonizing shrieks Of alarm
and his very f1amboyant warnings to
the southern people against the pres
ident as a thinly disguised military
despot, WHO'S preparing to Mexicanize
the country after the manner of Diaz
as soon as the general army staff bill
is passed by congress, when he will
begin to touch buttons and order the
army to break up public meetings and
throttle and defile the goddess of lib
erty in her temple.
The southern people evidently do
not "scare worth a cent" Down in
South Carolina they deliberately in
vited this dangerous conspirator
against the republic to come and see
them and partake of genuine southern
hospitality. They have something to
show him in demonstration of their
great material progress in these lat
ter years. The president congratulate
ed them, indeed, on the fact that old
South Carolina has definitely entered
upon the path Of steady progress in
things material, as well as in other

BY WAY OF SUGGESTION.

In connection with the suggestion
to turn owe the matter of a Fourth
of July celebration to the Elks, a sug-
gestion not original with Billings,
there is another one that might we'll
be offered at this time. Like the
other, this, also, is borrowed, and
credit for both must be given to Miles
City. which originated them. This
second suggestion has to do with the
raising Of funds necessary to make
he proposed celebration a uccess
instead of waiting until it is about
lime to begin work before any effort
IS made to collect the needed money,
Why not start right now? If the Elks,
pr whoever may care to stand sponsor
or the celebration, will follow the
Ailesian plan a goodly sum can be
laised and in an equitable and COM
paratively easy manner. Discarding the
I'D way of passing around the hat,
he people of Miles City have adopted
new method.
The Elks of that city, who have un-
ertaken the task of managing the
celebration, have appointed a treasur-
II and everybody in the city has been
Isked to subscribe a small weekly
mount that he will pay toward the
lind it is purposed to raise. Fifty
ents is fixed as the minimum of such
absorption, but this does not act as
bar to the acceptance of a large
mount from those who feel able and
Filings to give more. The treasurer
hakes the rounds of the city every
Ionday and collects from the SUBJ
hribers, and there is a steady and
instant flow of money into the treas
Nv Of the celebration committee and
III the time that it becomes neces-
ary to make expenditures enough
i'll be on hand to guarantee payment
all bills contracted.
The same plan could be adopted
yere and no doubt with equal success.
,Is Billings is larger and the task of
Taking the weekly collections would
q more laborious one, it might not
ID amiss to allow the collector a mod
Ut sum for his trouble and labor. At
Ievents, the suggestion is worthy of
satpneideration and has the merit of
apalizing things. A few persons, or

things" The great Industrial expo
sition in Charleston symbolizes the
forward movement of the new south
1t represents the spirit Of enterprise
and progress which is pervading all
parts of that portion of the country
and which is developing the long-un.
developed resources and reaching OUT
in every direction for trade.
The president APPLY spoke of the in.
clusion Of the West Indies in the
scope of the exposition as signifying
the faith of it's projectors in closer
relations with those islands in the
future. "Closer relations" said the
president, for our advantage can only
be secured by making it for their ad-
vantage ALSO" In those few words he
embodied the fundamental principle
OF all permanent and successful trad
ing. There must be reciprocal advant-
age, for g continuously one-sided trad
ing is an impossibility. It cannot go
on forever. DR.. Wendlandt's caustic
article in the April North American
Review shows unerringly how Europe
feels about the one-sided business, and
what Europe will surely do unless we
lower our tariff barrier to some ex-
tent.
South Carolina has gone extensively
into cotton manufacturing, as have
some other cotton states, and her man
ufacturers have, from time to time,
earnestly petitioned the government
to maintain its open door policy and
demand as to the Chimes ports that
their trade rights might not be impair
ed by the rapacity Of Russia, especial
~ at Nieu-Chwang, the port in Man
churia, where large quantities of our
cotton goods enter the country. The
success of Secretary Hays insistence
upon parity of trade rights in China
is gratifying to American manufac-
turers everywhere, and those of the
south have a fresh accession of the
national spirit through the advantages
a%ccruing.

TUESDAY, P r IS, 1902.
GIVE THE ELks CHARGE.

N The suggestion that to the Elks be
delegated the authority to arrange fo1
a proper celebration of the Fourth Of
July is one that The Gazette heartily
seconds. 1t is peculiarly fitting that
I the order should assume the position
OF p~rotagonist in such an enterprise.
First of the different reasons that
might be given why the Elks should
take charge of the celebration is that
1t is distinctively ar American order.
No one not an American citizen can
acquire membership in it. The Amer
lean flag drapes the altar of every
lodge in the country and lessons in
patriotism are inculcated in the minds
OF all who are affiliated with the or
der. Then as entertainers and pro-
moters of all that goes for entertain
ing it's members stand pre-eminent.
Any undertaking which they may as
sumo is always certain to be success
full. Somehow they have a happy
knack of always succeeding, no matter
\ how difficult the task they may lay
themselves out to accomplish. With
the advantage of numerical strength
they also possess within themselves
the enthusiasm that begets a like
semotion in others and they may al
ways count upon hearty and generous
assistance from those without the or
der. Consequently if it is decided
that the Elks shall manage the cele-
bration that Billings should and will
have, provided they care to incur the
responsibility and all the labor and
trouble that are to be expected as at
stendant features of such a task, the
people Of the city may rest assured
that it will be a success and Billings
will not only have cause to feel proud
fof it's observance of the day, but it
will be the greatest, best and most
aglorious celebration ever attempted in
the Yellowstone valley.
! By all means, turn over the cele-
zbration to the Elks, provided they will
accept the responsibility. But, of
course, they will or they would not
sbe good and loyal members of the
tribe. |

THE TRIBUNE lis HONEST.

If the admiration of President
Roosevelt which the Great Falls
Tribune now %entertains continues to
grow in the same relative degree dur
ing the next year or two as it has
been growing during the past few
weeks, it will be no dead sure thing
that it will not support that most esti-
mable and strenuous gentleman for
the presidency about two years hence.
Ever since he has defined his position
on the irrigation question and has
sought by every means to consistent
ly carry into effect that policy, The
Tribune has been one of his stanchest
and most %steadfast friends in the
northwest. Even in withdrawing
from settlement all of the public lands
that will be reached by the proposed
st. Mary's canal, while not exactly
agreed with him as to the necessity
for such an act, the Tribune still pats
him on the back and says he is the
man for it's money, and that he is
guilty of a slight mistake in the di-
rection of over zealousness in a good
cause.
The honest praise and cordial sup
port of the Tribune accords the pres
ident in his efforts to do justice to the
arid west is refreshingly in contrast
with the continued faultfinding and
s%enseless criticism of the same gentle
man that finds place in so many Of
the other democratic newspapers of
state. The Tribune is not so
purblind and rankly p~artizan as not to
be able to recognize the good that
comes out of Nazareth.

We have made little progress

one another AS a general proposition
it may be stated that the nation
which refuses peaceful arbitration is

Britain, having done this in its dis
pute with the Transvaal republic, is
responsible for the determination of
brave and heroic Christian people.
But let US also remember that we
