few continue in Office so long as four
years. Since the formation of the gov
eminent only one president has sue
ceeded in carrying the cabinet appoint
ed by him on assuming office through
the entire term, ard that president was
Franklin Pierce. His cabinet included
w. l.. Marcy, Jefferson Davis, Caleb
Cushing and four others not so well
remembered, and they all served four
years. President Roosevelt in his
seven years and a half had twenty
three cabinet officers, and four of
these, Root, Moody, Bonaparte and
Cortclyou, occupied W positions each,
making twenty-seven cabinet changes.
President Grant made twenty-five
changes in eight years, but had only
seven cabinet positions to appoint to,
and there are now nine. Moreover
Grant did not have any slayer in his
cabinet like James Wilson to reduce
the average OF changes.
President Taft selected his cabinet
apparently with great care, and natur-
ally will not want frequent changes
of service. 1t Is only the cabinet min
listers who remain in place long enough
to learn the duties of the Office
thoroughly and become masters of the
situation that are able to accomplish
permanent results. James Wilson
has o merely occupied his position
nearly thirteen years; he has made ii
a valuable and important office and
made a lasting reputation in 1t at the
same time. Cabinet officers who serve
only a fraction Of a presidential term
usually add little to their reputation
in hat brief tenure of ofiice.-Phila-

THE OLEOMARGARIN TAX.

Many h~ouseholders will be interest
ed in a robust report that an effort
is to be made during the current SEES
sion of congress to reduce the reven-
ne tax on oleomargarin which now
stands at 10 cents a pound for the
colored article.
1t has been brought strongly to the
attention of consumers that the price
of butter advanced about 10 cents a
pound shortly after the tax was i'm
posed on that imitation article and
that it's tendency has since been
strongly upward.
The tax on oleomargarin was i'm
posed as a measure of protection to
the farm dairyman. Like many other
measures of legislative protection it
has resulted in the formation of a
butter monopoly that is related to
the farmer only through the cream it
purchases from him at a price fixed
by itself.
With a few exceptions that prove
the rule, butter is no longer made on
the farm and brought to town and
sold to consumers or shipped to other
towns. The central creamery does
the butter making and the central
creamery Is becoming a monopoly
and are paying the price
of its upbuilding.
1t is therefore deemed advisable to
take away one Of the props that has
sustained the combine and national
Legislators are discussing the neces-
sary proceedings in a preliminary
way. They propose to reduce the tax
on oleomargarin that is so colored to
resemble the butter that has been col
ored without being subjected to a
penalty.
There is a great deal of
sary prejudice existing against oleo-
margarin. largely due, perhaps, to the
ignominous tax the government has
placed upon it. 1t is really as tooth
some as most butter md is cleaner
than some butter. With a fair
chance it would be much cheaper than
all butter is now.
it is about time that the conspiracy
between the creamery combine and
the government was broken.-Huron-
lite.

The people of Lead not concerned in

REDUCE THE CARRYING CHARGES

1t Is true that part of the postal
deficit could be wiped out by raising
the rates on magazines and newspap-
ers; but it is also true that all of 1t
could be cut out by reducing the car
rying charges which are as high now
as they were thirty years ago. Uncle
Sam pays too much for carrying the
mails, but no administration has ever
had sand enough to undertake to cut
the rate.-Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

The adulterated food people have
set up a bureau to educate the people

attribute it to the lack of preserv-

employers are too deep seated to be
settled by discussion of the question,
and attacking the motives or good in
tention of either faction Will not help
to heal the breach.
Lead finds itself facing a serious
situation brought on by the strike or
lockout. 1t cannot be hoped to con
vince either side that it is wrong, be-
cause the differences between them
are fundamental rather than special.
BY keeping the element of bitterness
out of the controversy, a compromise
may be effected soon. In the mean
time those who are looking on from a
distance are impressed with the reas-
enable attitude of the great majority
Of the population of Lead concerning
the situation. The efforts to provide
for the temporal welfare of the miners
and their families and to give them
suitable occupation and amusement

be filled with mischievious idleness.

maintained. there win be none of the
brutality and even bloodshed that
have marked other strikes of no great
