BAKING POWDER AGAIN.
Alum Goods That Masquerade
as "High Class Powders"


Retailers Journal Chicago.)
In previous analyses we have shown
that the 25-cent alum baking powders
are an imposition, both on the consumer
and the retailer, as the difference in
cost of manufacture of a 10 cent alum
baking powder and 25 cent one is not
more than one cent a pound.
There is the Calumet baking powder,
an alum powder with about one cents
worth of phosphate added to it. and
which retails for 25 cents. 1t is not
worth more than 10 or IL cents, which
we showed by analysis. In order to
sell this powder at all they are now
preparing premium scheme and are
going TO give away hair pins and other
cheap trash that they may be attractive
to the eye and cover up their transac-
tons. They can we'll afford to give Is
cents worth of goods with every pound
of baking powder they sell.
If alum baking powder is used at all
10 cents is a reasonable price, as alum
costs only two cents a pound, which
leaves the manufacturer a fair profit.
While we know that cream of tartar
baking powders are sold at higher
prices than others, we also know that
chemically pure cream of tartar used in
the highest grade powder costs at least
twelve times more than alum.

ADMINISTRATION LOSES,
Senate Committee Prefers a Sea Level
Canal.

Washington, May 1.-THE senate
committee on interoceanic canals is in
Q deadlock on the question of the type
of canal to be recommended. When
the question was taken up the vote
showed five for sea level canal and
five for the lock type recommended
by the minority Of the board of con-
sulting engineers. There were two
absentees, Senators German and Car
mack. The latter telesraphed from
Tennessee instructing the chairman to
count his vote for the sea level type,
which would have made majority
against the lock canal desired by the
administration. After wrangling for
an hour over the question Of accepting
the vote of Senator Carmack the com
mittee adjourned until Wednesday
next.

Over-coniidence has caused the

Tuesday nearly cost the republicans

Crawford movement as easy money
and that he did not have ghost Of

When the insurgents started their
campaign in this county they imme-
diately put to the front the un-Amer-
lean idea of trying to create preju-
dice in the minds of the Scandina-
Wan voters against the regular
republican organization of this
county. All sorts of fairy tales were
told the Scandinavian voters. Then
Messrs. Chilson, Haugen, Peterson,
Egge, Rickmo and others were sent
out as missionaries over the county
1t was stated by the other Webster
boxers that there was not an indie
pendent scandinavian voter in the
county that they were all waiting to
be told how to vote by Chilson,
Haugen, Peterson and Egge-these
gentlemen being the only Scandi-
navians who exercised the right to
think that lived in the county, and
Rickmo was taken along as living
exhibit of how Scandinavian looked
who let the other four do his think
ing for him. The boxers reckoned
without their host. Rickmo as an
exhibit would be sufficient to put
the best advertised patent medicine
out of business and when used in a
political campaign in the interest of
the boxers the voters fed from him
as if from plague. The campaign
waged by those gentlemen was worse
for their cause than failure. Their
mascot was boomerang. The
Scandinavian voters of this coun ty
have only to look to the record of the
republican party in this county to
forever put to sleep any attempt to
influence them by an appeal to a
race prejudice. The Scandinavian
voters have received Just recognition
in the distribution of the offices of
the county. They have held high
places in the councils of the party
in this county. No four men do
their thinking for them. They do
their own thinking and are guided
by their own judgment. The Scan
dinavian voters Of Day county follow
the cause of right and truth as God
hath given them the power to see it
and that is the reason that the boxer
movement went down to such hope.

ford, Bentley, Hall and Gamble as
candidates, the republican party wa.
certain of defeat. They got busy
They passed up their own primaries
and advised the democrats to 90 into
the republican primaries and vote
for the Crawford delegates and in
many counties they did, it and
some safely republican counties were
carried by democrats for Crawford
In other strong republican counties
the democrats made the vote very
close. In the northern counties OF
state there ives no apathy. Repub-
licans knew that fight was on and
they knew the character of the box
ers and the tactics of the democrats
and they went forth to battle in
earnest. The records of the boxer
candidates were brought before the
public and freely criticised by the
people. The attention was also
called to the administrations of Con.
gressmen Burke and Martin, Gov
ernor Elrod and Judge Campbell.
The comparison was sufficient. The
republicans had their choice made.
Then it was made clear that the
democrats intended to enter the eau
cuses of the republicans and vote for
Crawford. The party leaders saw
that this was not accomplished for
challengers were appointed and a
democrat who so voted did so at the
price of written and sworn state
ment that he was republican. This
last precaution was severely crit
icised by the boxers for they knew
that in counties where republicans
had become sufficiently aroused to
60 the polls and vote Crawford's
only hope for success was in demo-
cratic votes. That this move was a
wise one was demonstrated right in
this county where many scrupulous
democrats who had intended to vote
for Crawford if he went unchal-
lenged, refused to commit perjury to
assis, in the disruption of the repub-
lican party. II was the watchful-
ness and the work of the republi-
cans of the north half of the state
that saved the party. We hope that
the lesson to our southern brothers
has been sufficiently severe to cure
them of the folly of er-confdence.

States senator; Burke and Campbell
for congress; Elrod for governor.

ORANGE GROWERS DAY

To the orange growers who today in
convention assemble: 1T is up to you.
You have it in your power now,
backed by every sentiment of justice
and right cause, to demand from
congress a provision in the pending rail-
road legislation making legal, as it is
already righteous, your claim as to the
routing of your own goods when you
pay the freight for their haulage.
The court has said that this right is
not legal" 1t is up to you to demand
that it be made SO; it is equitable"
now.
The railroads, aroused by the storm
brewing of which this convention can
be the forked lightning, are coming
forward, bearing rich gifts of promises
to be good. They know that while
legally right, in equity they are wrong.
They wish TO retain the legality of their
position.
Two courses lie before you: To stand
for your rights and decide to maintain
them; to send representatives to
congress W eHloiCe tlls uelidlu' "
make legal what is already right; TO
grasp forever the reins in your own
hands.
Or
To be trapped by honeyed words and
Establishments; TO swallow specious
promises to "be good; to lose once
and forever the great chance offered
you to throw off the railroad yoke and
be free.
Win or lose, if you take the first
course, you have won in the end. Win
or lose, you can only lose if you "sticlI
your head in the lions mouth; some
day the jaws will snap.

Officials Say Decision Is Just

Several railroad officials, when ques-
toned as to their opinions as to wheth-
er or not the recent decision of the
supreme court in regard to the rout-
ign of fruit shipments by the initial
lines would or would not work hard
ships upon the growers, have given
answers the consensus of which are
''the growers do not know when they
are well off,
Edward Chambers, assistant freight
traffic manager of the Santa Fe, con-
tends that the growers will benefit by
the decision because, he says, the rail-
road employees know which roads can
handle the cars quicker better than
the shippers can know.
The railroad officials say that under
the late decision there will be no in
ceentive for giving rebates. They also
claim that they have been unjustly held
up during the last two years by the
shippers and have been made to pay
unjust claims in order to hold their
customers business.
