Several fragrant cases of gross abuse
of their powers by the police of Berlin
and other large cities aroused considera-
bic indignation in Germany during 1902
The newspapers took up these cases very
warmly, especially one in which jour-
nalist convicted OF a political Offense was
conducted through the public streets
hand-cuffed TO a common criminal. and
the matter was ultimately made the sub
ject of an Interpolation in the reichstag
on November -. The Prussian ministry
of the interior has now addressed cir
cular to the chief police authorities adj
hitting that the allegations against the
police have been proved to be substan-
TALLY true. and attributing the excuses
of which minor police officials have been
guilty to n want OF supervision on the
part of their immediate superiors. He
directs these officers TO take measures TO
prevent the recurrence of such scandals.
The German authorities evidently have
come to the same conclusion as our own
police commissioner. that the way TO re-
form the rank and file is To hold the
officers to strict accountability.

The election of the eminent Socialist

of the French chamber. by a majority
of j votes, over the Progressive candi-
date, NJ Reynault Morliere. has attract
ed much attention in Paris and is re-
gsrded as a significant incident in. French
politics. A common opinion seems TO be
that his election to position which as
sociates him with government RESPONSE
bllity is likely 10 act in a measure as a
check upon his personal initiative and in
dependence and render him much less
dangerous opponent to vested interests
than he was before accepting an official
position The example of NJ. Millerand
is quoted in support of this view. His
election is held TO be a remarkable indi-
cation of the cohesion and discipline eX-
listing at present in the Republican party.
and it is noted that this is the first time
that French Socialist. who is not only
a theorist but a practical reformer. has
received so striking a proof of the con-

are some. however. who fear that NJ.
Jaures' well-known views on the subject
of disarmament may induce the Jingoists

An Effective Law.

The dairy interests of the United States
have at last, it appears, succeeded in secur-
ing legislation for protection against bogus
butter that is effective The present oppo-
sition to oleomargarne is not based upon
the wish to drive out of the market prod
uct which the people want and for which
they are willing to pay, but to make this
special product stand upon its own merits
in the market; to compel manufacturers of
process butter" to label their product for
what it is, and not seek to impose it upon the
public as butter, to the manifest injury OF
the creamery business.
Some clumsy legislation, grossly discrim-
mating in business way, and hence easily
and properly nulli6ed by the courts, has been
enacted in times past in the hope Of discred-
ting oleomargarine. Minnesota, for exam
pie, great dairy state, some years ago en-
acted a law requiring this product to be
colored pink instead of the usual butter
color. The legislatures of some other states
favored green and other tints as distin
gushing mark of bogus butter, but for OBJ
vious reasons such requirements could not

and other states, oleomargarine, properly
stamped so that no mistake is liable to be
made by the purchaser, can be sold III open
market, while heavy penalty is provided Tor
foisting or attempting to foist this product
upon the public as butter. With the very
salutarv effect of this law the creamery IN
terests and the public are well content.
The official statement of the results OF
law carrying similar provisions that was
passed at the first session OF the last Con-
gress gives very positive evidence OF Its Ell
fcacy In nine months time there has been
a decrease of 26,5oo,ooo pounds in the bulk
of Oleomargarlne manufactured. ms is
about two-thrds of the average for some
wears previous The revenue received from
the business in the same time shows de-
cline of $I,554ooo. These figures have
very decisive bearing upon the old plea that
the people want oleomargarine, preferring it
to butter Those who wish to buy it tor
their own consumption can get it now
cheaper than ever before. The tax upon 1T
is lighter, and, sold as oleOmargar1ne, 1t
brings considerably less than when masque-
rading as creamery or dairy butter But the
tax on it when colored, in order to secure
it's disposal under the pretense that it is but
ter, is prohibitory; and this prohibitory tax
has reduced the output in less than year
from 65 to 70 per cent
1t is quite likely that oleomargarine still
finds it's way to some extent to hotel, res
taurant and boarding house tables. But the
fact that the law has stopped the deceptive
sale of the product in few months to the
extent shown by the official report demon
strates at once the efficacy of the law and
the limited extent of the legitimate demand
for that staple.-Oregonian.

A SOURCE OF ERROR IN TESTING

The proper manipulation of the test in
order to arrive at accurate results is without
doubt the factor of greatest Importance in
creamery management. In fact, until Our
present system of determining the value OF
milk and cream by the Babcock test became
possible, the creamery system as in vogue
TODAY would have been almost, if not alto
gether, impossible The Babcock test in
itself is extremely accurate, but there are
many factors that arise that may result in
deviations from this accuracy of the test
unless the operator is careful of his work
The knowledge of many of these errors
in the application of the test has put in its
appearance since the introduction of the
test. With accurate testing bottles and
pipettes or scales for measuring the milk or
cream to be tested, the Babcock can
be relied upon to show with the great
est accuracy-when reasonable care IS
taken = the percentage OF butter tat
in the milk or cream-that is, If the
proper amount (I8 grammes) gets into the
bottle This being the case accuracy in
using the test consists, first, in getting as
near exactly r8 grammes of the sample to
be tested into the bottle as possible and,
secondly, the Is grammes should to the
nearest possible degree represent exactly the
composition of the milk or cream being
tested. In other words, the greatest care
must be taken in sampling, and it is in this

last feature especially that the errors creep
into the use of the test A great deal has
been said upon this subject and as to how
these errors may be avoided, so that it
should be thoroughly understood by all
users of the Babcock test. Recently, how
ever. a source of error has been called to
the attention of the editor, who serves as
chemist of the state dairy bureau, that is OF
such significance that we deem it important
enough to mention it to our readers.
A creamery owner who receives both milk
and cream on the basis of the test, recently
purchased pair of scales, such as is usually
used for weighing cream into bottles In
order to be sure Of accuracy, he sent 1t 10
the dairy bureau to have its accuracy test
ed where it was discovered that when
cream bottle was filled until it showed to
contain Is grammess by these scales, 1t
actually contained, as an average OF tour
weighings, 1856 as determined by very
delicate chemical balance in use by the dairy
bureau On basis of 40 per cent. tat in
cream, this error carried out in proportion
would have given result of I.I8 per cent,
or I.IS instead of 40.

examined would not "break' under weight

factory in creamery work, and it was such
surprise to us that the matter was taken
up with Prof harrington, of the Wisconsin
dairy school, recognized exponent OF the
Babcock test, who agrees with us that a
scale no less sensitive than this one is not
safe for use in testing cream.
In view of the fact that such scales are
in common use among creameries and make
these big errors possible, the Review be-
lieves this feature of cream testing should
be carefully looked after by those who have
to deal with it. Creameries too often look
for something cheap, and such articles as

meet this demand. scale to give suffi-
cent degree of accuracy in testing cream,
