4 Good Decision.

Free Press;
The supreme court of the United
States has decided that oleomarga-
rine coloreo in imitation of butter is
subject to tax of 10 cents a pound.
In other words the court aflirms the
constitutionality of the law placing
that tax upon oleomargarine colored
in imitation OF butter, 1t Is supposed
that the decision will close the oleo-
margarine factories, or such Of them
rs have put up the fraudulent arti-
Gle There should be rather more de-
mand for the uncolored product than
there has been.
This decision should go "A long way
toward the establishment of the right
Of the state to control the adultera-
tion Of food stuifs, and of any other
product that finds a market under
names o. conditions that are calcu-
lated to deceive the customer public.
There were two ways in which the
manufacture and sale Of oleomarPa-
riue colored to represent butter
might have been got at. One was by
the imposition of IA prohibitory tax,
aud the other was by IA law squarely
prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of colored bogus butter The
latter way of handling the matter
has nm air of frarknsss about it that
has always appealed to many people.
The result is the same, however, and
it Is the result that will be of inter
est to the public. Hereafter there
will be no colored eleomargarine ON
the market and people who buy but
ter will know that they are getting
what they pay for.
There was never any sound argu-
meut in favor of the law except that
it was protection to the buyer OF
butter ii the maker of butter gets
some benefit from the law, that is
his good luck, And he does.

A recent citizen of this state writ

ing Wisconsin politics:
ut seems to me from this dis
lance that the madness OF these
men termed stalwarts will result
in also destroying the chances OF
several Republican members of
congress to succeed themselves.
"Governor La Toilette they
cannot destroy. No, not if they
had hundred John Rockefe!-
lers in the great railroads instead
of one with his grasping greed,
TO pour out money to seek To
bride men and hire voters.
There are enough men in Wis
consin whom nothing can buy to
give at least a plurality of 10000
over his highest competitor In
the race.

to deluxe all the honest-hearted
Republicans whom they can 10

they have rosorted to unfair methods

nothing about party harmony be-
cause party harmony signifies La

the truth were known it would be
found that every one Of them him
self voted against the governor and
used his influence to get others to do
the same.
Assuming the truth of this condi-
ton, La Toilette should have little
difficulty in securing reelection. III
the leaders of the Democratic party
OF Wisconsin were devoted to prin-
ciple instead of to pelf, they would
be able at this crucial period to rem
der La Toilette much assistance. His
defeat at the polls in November
would be distinct loss to the state.
