less on Judgment and genius than on

Hermann in Favor.

The Hon Binger Hermann. until a
few months since Commissioner of the
General Land Office. has been nominated
by the Republicans of the First district
OF Oregon to succeed the late Repre-
sentative Thomas II. Tongue in the
House. At this distance. and in view OF
the conditions under which Mr.. Her
mann retired from Office. it was rot be-
Iieved when the fight for the nomina-
ton began that he would be able 70 win
He has succeeded, however, and the
nomination practically amounts to al
election in that district. although some
ill-feeling as a result OF the contest may
cut down his majority somewhat
The field was 8 large one, including
fully dozen or more local prominents
among them the speaker OF the Oregon
house Of representatives and two mer

Sour Milk VS.. Sweet.
The Curious Argument Made at E Re-
cent Public Hearing.


No one has found that the milk
business IS inimical 10 a sense OF
humor, but the arguments Of a GER
tain milk dealer before the District
Commissioners on Thursday seem to
indicate that he has depression
where his bump Of humor ought TO be.
He alleged that no pathoIogist could
show that sour milk had ever been IN
furious to anyone, and that sour milk NTH,
products were. IN fact, provided for
many sick people for medicinal rea-
sens, He said that it was unjust to
compel the dealers 10 clean their milk
cans unless it could be proved that
injury resulted from sour milk; and
that sauerlraut and limburger
cheese, the smell Of which was quite
as offensive, were not denounced as
dangerous to the public health.
The comieality Of this statement Is
increased by the fact that the dealer
IN question makes something Of a fea-
ture Of providing milk for household
use where there are infants, and any
body who has ever been closely ac-
quainted with baby knows what
happens when the youngster finds
that his daily food does not taste
right Moreover, there is no parallel
between sour milk and Hmburger as
food products.
Nobody objects to any person buy
ing sour milk If that Is what he
wants; the objection of the public Is
directed at dealers who sell people
what they do not want IF a custom
er pays FOR sweet milk and does not
get II he has been cheated. and ne has
a right to complain. whether his
health has been injured or not.
Moreover, the public has a right to
demand that milk shall be clean, with
ort having the liquid analysed to see
Z the dirt Is harmless or not. It may
be troublesome for the dealers te
clean their cans, but It would be ten
tines as troublesome for their custom
ers to subject the milk to chemical
analysis to see what kind of germs
they were getting for their money.
The great obstacle 10 legislation on
questions Of pure food is that people
as a rGle, do not care enough about il
TO demand heaIthfuI and madulter-
ated food products, IF they have
been walked up to the necessity Of
pure milk, and # the authorities are
disposed to secure that article so far
as legislation can DO IT, there is reason
TO rejoice Milk which Is sweet is
manifestly more likely to be clean
and fresh than milk which Is sour, and
those who demand It have a right to
receive the unaduiterated article.

Shaw Punctures Boom.

Secretary Shaw returned to Washing
ton from New York one day last week.
and finding himself face TO face with
Vice Presidential boom. promptly pro-
ceeded to punctuTe 1t. He declares en-
phaticaIIy that he will not accept second
place on the Republican ticket with
President Roosevelt OF anyone else. OF
course, being q member of the Cabinet
under the present Administration, he
could not be expected to be a candidate
for first place.
It appears that the Hon. Charley
Lands. of Indiana. was out upon a lee
turing tour in Iowa last week, and
thinking perhaps that it would be a
good joke on the Secretary and likewise
please The Hawkeye people, suggested
that the next Vice President should be
a man from Iowa-presumabIy because
that State has such neager representa-
ton in the national councils, and that in
his opinion the Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw was
just about the correct man for the
place.
The suggestion apparently made a hit
with the Iowans and the applause was so
loud that the Secretary heard it, OF Of it.

The Art Of Cookery
The Taste Of Cur Day Runs to the Sim
pIest Possible Methods.

plest Possible Methods.
It has been feared by some students
Of gasTonomy that the increased sim
plicity Of taste shown by certain Of
the great men Of today viii lead to the
decay Of the art of cooking. Thus It
IS pointed out that King Edward
cares little for elaborate dishes, Sen
asor Hanna considers corned beef
hash worthy Of his talents as chef.
and most Of our Presidents have been
men Of simple tastes.
There Is scarcely good reason for
this apprehension. however. So long
as eating remains a primal necessity
Of the human system, there viii be
those who endeavor to refine upon and
perfect this vital process, despite all
the inventors of health foods and cap
suIes of nutrition But It may very
well be that the taste of the present
Is changing from the love of elabor-
ate and artificial dishes which distin-
guisbed the gourmet of the past TO a
liking for simple food perfectly
cooked, and that Is a good thing both
for the cook and the epicure.
We are told by good authorities
that the idea tl1at French food is
highly seasoned IN comparison with
English dishes is quite erroneous, and
t1at the English fashion of adding all
sorts Of highly spiced and peppeTy
condiments to the plain roast OF
boiled results IN dishes really much
more elaborate than French cooks

An Exploded Idea.
CumminS Tariff Revision Program in a
MoEibund Condition

Is Governor Cummins crawtishing
in his tariff revision views? Is the
Iowa Idea, on which he has ridden to
prominence, to be dropped from his
political repertory2 Is It to be
'cribbed, cabined, and coRfned"-
buried IN the graveyard Of lost causes
and exploded pohcies2
Suspicious that the Iowa Idea has
had It's day are encouraged by the ap-
pearance IN the "Des Moines Leader
and Register" of an editorial com
mending the attitude taken by Secre-
tary Root in his recent Boston speech
The Secretary of War had deprecated
any effort TO revise the tariff SEIZED
ules during the stress and excitement
of a Presidential canvass, and had ar
gued that lowering the tariff rates
was, after all, d most uncertain meth
cd Of attacking alleged manufactm-
ing and trade monopolies.
The Leader and Register" consid-
cred IN Iowa the mouthpieca Of Gov
eTnor Cummins and his followers, now
accepts and echoes Mr.. Roots logic.
Il declares that the plea put forth
that tariff revision will destroy trusts
Is born not so much Of any desire 10
get at the trusts, as to get at the
tariff" And it adds: THAT this Is
to be the issue Of the Presidential
canaign IS already apparent. It Is
wise, therefore, as Secretary Root adj
vises, that Republicans concentrate
their energies to meet II and not frit-
ter any Of them away IN a fruitless
attempt at tariff revision IN the com
F. ing session Of Congress, even though
some schedules might advantageously
be changed"
How different this Is In tone from
the urgent and beIieose demands for
tariff revision made on the stump last
fall by Governor Cu1mins, Is not
the change IN attitude due to a grow
ing appreciation by Iowa politicians
Of the fact that the tariff revision
crusade has spent its force-that it
has been checked and halted by infu-
ences within the Republican organiza-
ton Of which 1t never fairly meas
ured the potency?
Only the other day Senator Allison
himself an Iowan-a announced that
a modification Of tariff schedules
through special commercial treaties Is
an empty and iridesceut political
dream. This declaration, supported
by substantial arguments, struck a
deadly blow at that feature Of the
Cummius program which looked to
reciprocity as a secondary means Of
sealing the tariff barriers. And now
that Secretary Root and President
Roosevelt have united IN coudemning
revision Of any sort III the next Ton
gress, the patentees and sponsors of
the Iowa Idea find themselves forced
/ either 10 shmt their theory for the
moment, or 10 engage IN an mprom-
ising and precarous fight.
/ They are wise, no doubt, III hosting
the white flag, as they now do,
/ through the columns Of the Leader
and Register" But with the ex-
plosion of the Iowa Idea a Republican
revision of the tariff seems pushed IN
definitely into the background. It
may as well be understood that for
any radical recashng of the DingIey
schedules the country viii have to
wait for the return 10 power Of a re
organized and reofficered Democratic
party.
