Honorina a Maine Man.

The honors paid the late Crosby S.
Noyes of Washington, for 40 years the
editor of the Washington Star, were
not confined to the SPLENDID eulogies
the great and distinguished gathering
at his funeral. This son of Maine
who became leading figure in the
journalism of the country was the
subject of memorial services at Wash
ington's largest theater last Sunday.
What that service was and what the
life of Mr.. Noyes meant to the nations
capital city are well indicated by the
following editorial comment from the
columns of the Washington POST
The remarkable services at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday in memory of
the late Crosby S. Noyes gave striking
proof of the fact that the works or d
good man do not die with him. The
influence of the departed citizen re-
mains and bears fruit. Most of the
persons in the great audience were
pei Will AMI. ANOScS
in at least one side of his many sided
activities, and the addresses, delivered
by some of the foremost men of the
nation, struck responsive chords. The
career of Mr.. Moves as a pioneer and
"old inhabitant,' as an editor, and as
a citybuilder, was dwelt upon. His
keen personal interest in all move
ments for the improvement of Wash
ington was referred to. as well as the
sterling Christian manhood that made
all his words and deeds square with
right and truth. While building up
the city he loved he was also building
up character that stands, and will
stand, as an example long after he
has passed away.
The National Capital will feel the
influence of Crosby S. Noyes far into
the future. 1t was appropriate that
speakers of national as well as local
prominence should testify to his
works, and that the citizens of Wash
ington should gather in such numbers
to pay tribute to his memory. The
addresses delivered yesterday should
be preserved in permanent form as a
memorial. and in due time the people
of Washington should unite in raising
in an appropriate place a monument
to the memory of this great Wash
ingtonan.

oIeom.roarine on lie Merits.

Under the federal law a 5000 license,
a tax Of 10 cents per pound and proper
labelling is required before any one is
permitted to sell colored oleomar-
garine. Complaint is now being made
that these provisions are being evaded
by small dealers in various parts Of
the country. The manufacturers of
oleOmargarine made great mistake
in the beginning that they did not put
their product upon the market for
precisely what it was. advertising it in
it's own name and building up a
market for it on it's own merits. In
stead of doing so they have put it
butter and calling it butter. They
made a fraud and an outlaw of it and
as result aroused and antagonized
the great dairy interests of, the
country which would probably never
have opposed the putting of this pro-
duct upon the market in an honest anu
straightforward manner and in it's
own name
Having made this very serious mis-
take the manufacturers of oleomar-
garine have found themselves at
great disadvantage in undertaking to
retrieve their error and secure a
market for their output in legitimate
manner and under it's own name.
There are seasons of the year when
the dairy interests of the country do
not equal consumption and where it
becomes necessary to supplement
them with oleomargarine. A year ago
last fall it was almost impossible to
secure butter in the great county of
Aroostook and the supply was very
short in other parts of the State and
such conditions are liable to recur in
any dry season when the feed becomes
short.
There is no difficulty in good dairy
butter securing a market most any
time and II the OleOmargarine makers
are content to put out their product
for precisely what it is they can
probably secure a fairly good sale for
it in its own particular field and
entirely outside the range of dairy
products with which it can never be,
in the very nature of things, especially
when sold honestly and under it's own
label, very much of competitor. The
pure food law has accomplished a
great good for the public health and
among the other benefits that have
accrued from it have been the fore
market their output under it's own
name and upon it's own merits.

A correspondent of our Democratic
Waterville contemporary intimates
that the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan is a
tribe stale. True. but it does not be-
gin to compare in this respect with the
Sentiners overworked campaign of
mud and mirth. And besides, it has
the advantage of attracting public at
tention to itself while the Waterville
organ in it's monotonous swinging
around the circle of abuse and epithet

tract very much attention and has
been pretty well dropped from the con-
sideration Of other newspapers in the
