Sale of QIeomarqarine.

It appears that the beef trust is giv- ing the department of agriculture a pretty lively chase in regard to the sale of oleomargarine. There is law in several states forbidding the sale of imitation butter except in it's na- tural color. This was designed to protect consumers whom the law re- quiring packages to be properly lab eled failed to benefit. But the ven- ders of oleomargarine hold that. while they cannot lawfully sell Oleomarga- rine colored to look like butter, there is no law to prevent them from giv- ing away vials of colOring liquid which purchasers of their product may apply themselves. It is said that this point will be tested in the courts. The con tention that oleomargarine is not nec- essarily unwholesome, and that it uti- lizes advantageously the fats of beef in such artificial way as to resemble the natural dairy product. seems well
 based. but that does not dispose of the original question whether the consum- CT should not have the right to know if he is eating the real article or an
 imitation.-Springfiel Union.

THE QUIET WEDDING
 OF PHOENIX COUPLE
The Bride is a Niece of Former Secre- tary of State Richard Olney.

A very quiet wedding took place yes' terday afternoon in Phoenix and when the couple left on the M. and P. train at 7:3O there were not a half dozen of their numerous acquaintances among the hundred or more at the station who realized that two devotees at the hymeneal altar were among the out going passengers. The contracting parties were w. H. Schofield and MISS Harriet A. Olney. The ceremony was performed at o'clock at the Presby- terian parsonage, by Rev. M. H. Camp bell and the only witnesses were mem bers of the minister's family. It was the desire of the couple to have the event surrounded with as much secrecy as possible till they had departed on wedding trip. MT. Schofield had been resident of Phoenix for about two years and during that time was employed In the reclamation offices as an accountant. He is a member of the Aztec club, and belongs to several lodges. among them the Elks.. He had a large acquain- ltanceship and many friends in the city. The bride was for sometime employed in the city postoffice and was a most accommodating and well liked young
 lady. She came to Phoenix from San
 Francisco of which city she was res
 ident at the time of the great earth
 quake disaster. Her home had been
 previous to that time in Pascoag,
 Rhode Island, and she is niece of
 Hon. Richard Olney. former secretary of state.
 | Mir. Schofield also came her from San Francisco and it is said that the lacuuaintance which ripened into deeper regard was formed in California before they became residents of Phoe-
 nix. The couple will go to Los An geles and Frisco, and from there tc the mountains wher they will pass most of the summer. A short trip tC Portland will be included in their itin- erary MT. Schofield said before leav- ing that it was their intention to re
 turn to Phoenix in the fall and make
 this city their permanent home. Theil
 many friends here extend congratula'
 tions.

people to attend their party caucuses, which are now completely under the sway of the controlling interests, or by assuring the people that leader ship depends upon victory. Those two observations constitute a confession that the people are not in control of their own affairs
 Senator Judson states the question clearly when he says: With the di- rect primary law. gone are the self constituted Do. with their plunder and pelf: gone the automatic party convention; and with it will be usher ed in the bright day of the renais- sance of real political equality" As an illustration of the power of the machine Senator Judson reminded the members of the club that not in two decades has the Republican candidate for governor failed to be decided up- on two years in advance. In the pres ence of such facts one is justified in
 viewing opposition to the direct prim lry as provoked by a threatened loss
 of power and not by an uplifting. pa triotism. if the bosses were not in danger they would welcome the change.

VALUABLE.

According to the ideas of the anti imperialists, there is lot of hard luck in the Philippines. and all may know that there is lot of hard wood there. And as it is figured that the supply of hard wood in the United States will be practically exhausted in twenty years unless scientific forestry can be brought to the rescue it is cheering to know that we possess q lot of hard wood in our new possess sions. It appears that our Philippines forests have an annual growth of l. 400, 900, ,000 cubic feet, or thrice the annual cut in the United States Nine- ty per cent of this is going to waste. The forests are too dense for their
 Fn welfare. In one district examin- d there were found to be 5000 feet, board measure, of merchantable tim- OCT per acre, or about thrice the amount of timber thai toul

Perhaps some of the Socialistic ey- periments in France have been trif,. overdone Anyhow, the burden impos- ed upon French manufacturers by the law passed in 1898 providing for com pensation to injured workmen has proved so heavy that an attempt was recently made in the Senate to lessen it. Owing to the opposition of the gov ernment however. the tax upon cm- blowers was maintained, the minister of labor.

\ STRING OF HOPE.

As hope springs eternal it is per haps not surprising that 1t is taking n little spring in the gypsy moth busi- ness, just when we have been told that it was the most hopeless. II appears that the hope has sprung from para sites-insect parasites. Last year in Massachusett Superintendent Kirk land had s250o0 for parasitic work" but he spent only about slo,00o of it. This year he will ask the legislature for sl5,000 more SO as to have s25,- 900. It is figured that it will take some years to establish the parasites and eminent scientists" claim that 1t can not be regarded as discouraging if it takes a decade to establish a para sitic control of the pest In the three years that the State has experimented with parasites it has expended s3i,- 674. Al least two species have estab- lished themselves in Massachusetts. One is a minute parasite which be- longs to the genus Pteromalus, which attacks the brown-tail in the fall The other is the predaceous beetle Caloso- ma Sycophanta, special enemy of the gypsy moth caterpillar. When these beetles were liberated in 1906 they were carefully marked with white enamel paint and in l907 sev- eral bright fresh colored specimens without paint were found in the To- calities feeding on gypsy moths.
 As not less than fourteen eminent scientists have taken part in the par asitic performance it may be regard ed as sensible and useful So it is about time for the gypsy moth to be 1 getting scared in Massachusetts. But it is to be hoped that whatever scare strikes him will as; impel him to
 move into Connecticut.

TAKING ITS WAY EASTWARD.

Eastward the initiative and referen- dunn notion takes it's way From Ore gon it has jumped to the Ohio Senate, which has, by a vote of twenty-five to eleven, adopted the scheme for con- stitutional amendment which provides that the people reserve the right to enact or reject at the polls any law or part of a law which has passed the general assembly, or proposed law which has failed to pass or has pass ed with amendment No law or Eart of law passed by the general assembly (except such as are necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace. health or safety, termed emcr. gency measures. passed by twa- thirds vote of each house) shan be- come a law in less than ninety days after adjournment of the legislature. If before ninety days have passed pcti- tions signed by five per cent of the voters of the State, based or the whole number of votes cast for gov ernor at the last preceding ole t!bs
 are filed with the secretary of State requesting a popular vote on any act or part of act passed by the last gen eral assembly the question shall be submitted at the first election held thirty days or more after the filing of the petitions and in the meantime the law remains in abeyance, unless 1t Ae m emergency law, If, thirty days be- fore any election, petitions are filed with secretary of State signed by tcr per cent of the voters, requesting 2 popular vote on any measure which | failed to pass or passed with amend. ment at any session of the general as. sembly, the question shall be submit. ted to popular vote.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Classified Taxation.
CThe Ohio State Journal)

tThe Ohio State Journal)
 Occasionally one will find a man who crlticises the proposed classified basis of taxable property, with an assertion something like this; There Is no need of it Make the owners of intangible or credit wealth return II, by requiring it to be stamped; otherwise 1t Is nncol- lectible al law. That will fix the busi- ness
 Well. why hasn't somebody done it? We have heard Of that suggestion for years. but nobody seems to put It into actual practice. Why? one reason 's that most of this property Is in some form iof credit, bearing very low rate of Interest and tc tax it at the full rate is very near connscatlon. There arc millions of dollars out In the form Of credit which if taxed at the full rate, would not yield more than 1 or per cent. and sometimes not that. It Is this feeling of oppression that causes people holding this kind of property not 10 return it And thus they are forced to lie in order to protect them selves. A government that forces such condition as this upon the people does them a great harm and weakens the real glory of the state. And q stamp will never correct 1t. The fau;; is inherent. We must give honor q chance.
 There is a strong sentiment that this sort of property should not he taxed at all. but wo do not hold that way We say. let It be taxed what lt will hon estly and fairly bear, and that much fl will stand of its own accord; and these results will be greater than ans threatening scheme VIII bring forth Wherever the classified taxation ha' heen resortod to fl has succeeded, anC the revenues have constantly increased If has made money for the people. | has saved the integrity of the common wealth.

coNauERuNG AND TO CONQUER.

It has long been apparent that wo- man is superior to man in every way except physical strength and endur- ance, and even the notion that she isn't superior in those respects may soon go the way the other notions have gone. The news comes that Pol ish women are now engaged at work on the dams being constructed near Bredstedt, Schleswig, Prussia It is as- serted that they work as well as men and for less money.
 How long is it likely to be before such news as this becomes common |? We ry soon read that women are building railroads and all the other ,hings which require hard and heaN, work After that we may read that they are going to war. Where the men will go in those days remains to be seen, Perhaps they will go home, if woman continues kind enough to al- tow them to have homes.
