OLEO.
the people

There seems to be a decided prejudice against
oleomargarine. Just why this prejudice exists is
not clear. In the first place. all the laws made to
govern the sale of oleo were made with the inten-
ton of preserving the people from deception-not
from cleo. The laws were made because almost
everybody would be deceived by the bogus butter,
and would compliment the grocer upon its fine
quality, whereas it not butter at all. The de-
ception which accompanied its unrestricted sale
very naughty. So Utah, with lot of other
states, passed laws requiring that cleo be marked
cleo; hotels and restaurants serving oeo must dis
play a sign in the dining room, and license to
sell it also required. Further, the state of
Utah several years ago passed a law that no oleo
should be used in any state institution These
laws discouraged the sale of the butterine in Utah.
and the price of real butter, as result, perhaps
has mounted to figure where working people can
not afford its use. The pounds, too have grad
ually diminished in weight, and the contents of
water has not been reduced appreciably.
There are several grades of oleomargarine. some
of which are better than others The best grade is
absolutely indistinguishable to the SMELL taste or
touch from the best grades of creamery butter
And it is probable the sanitary conditions of the
butterine factories are looked after quite as yigi-
lantly are those of the creameries The only OBJ
lection urged against oleo is that it is harder to
make cakes from the substitute than from the gen
uine butter. At the present price of butter how
ever it is hardship to forego cakes and similar
dainties and confne ones diet exclusively to the
substantials.
One very decided advantage possessed by oleo
over butter is that pound of cleo is pound-or
it in the good old days before it was dscredted
because of the deception practiced in its SALE

MAKING THEM WORK.

The Associated Press sent out story from
Washington last Friday that President Taft had
read in the newspapers that the United States Sen
ate was marking time" while the House of Rep
resentatives was working out the various appro-
priation bills Whereupon the President sum-
moned the members of the Senate committee on
postofices and postroads and suggested that the
Senate might get busy on the subject of postal
savings banks, which promised by the Repub-
lcan platform, and which the President had rec
commended in a special message to Congress. The
worthy Senators called into conference attempted
TO argue the President out of his position, sug-
costing that quite a number of Republican Sena-
tors opposed to postal savings banks The
President called attention to the promises of the
platform upon which he was elected. and sup
gested the propriety of carrying out those nrom-
ises As result of the little conference. Senator
Carter announced that the postal savings banl,
proposition would become law at this session
The effect of this conference was to draw the

The causes for the high cost of living are at
ributed to many different all of which are
ntertwined and together make a most complex
problem. Among these causes are greater pro

ey), more rapid increase of population than pro-
duction of foodstuffs the tariff. trust fnanciering
and wasteful and extravagant ways of living. Tn
der this latter heading, one might mention the au-
tomobe as a prime cause for higher prices. The
millions of dollars invested in these machines,
especially those used exclusively for pleasure, are
squeezed out of the blood and Drawn of the people

the pleasure afforded by an automobile, and give
their children education and cultural training
while the wage Garner and hireling are looked
down upon as being worthy only of contempt. The
social system" in America is prime cause for
high prices.
The cure for these causes of high prices, like
the causes is a complex question: with its different
parts interviewer and depending upon each other
for a solution. Of Investigations under federal
authority have no end. Of trust scandals we
have been surfeited Of revelations of unfair
practices in business, loose morals and decadent
ethics we have enough. The real solution of the
problem of high prices and great many other
allied questions lies in the enactment of laws
against usury in business profits, similar to the
laws covering usury in the banking business.
If the business of banks can be limited to a
profit of from to II per cent per annum, and
railroads be limited by law to a passenger,

line even more clearly as between regulars" and
insurgents" No matter what the personal be-
hefs OF the representatives of the people might be,
it was clearly indicated that in order to be reg
uar" the postal savings bank bill must be approved
along with other pet measures of the administra-
tion and any attempt to defeat the promises of
the party platform at the last election would be
construed as "traitorous" to the party. Admins
tration support in the coming congressional cleo
tions would be withheld from those whose ideas did
not agree with those of the administration, and
entire loss of federal patronage was promised as
reward of deserving the party.
The old question: what is Democrat" has
lost much of its interest in the developments OF
the past few years in the Republican party, and
some day somebody will ask, 'What is Repub-
ican" When the question is asked, it probably
will be as hard to answer as was the older ques-
ton. Some Republicans believe in tariff reform,
while others believe in a tariff, "as much as the
traffic will bear" Some advocate direct primaries;
others are opposed Some against public utility
regulation, even if the platforms may have called
for it. And as suggested by the Senators called
into conference by the President, some are opposed
to the postal savings bank though it Is one
of the Presidents pet measures and one of the
promises of the party platform.
The point of interest is to await the develop
ments of these differences of opinion. The Re
publican party is being tried by internal dissenson.
If the insurgents" develop enough strength to car
ry their point in the contests which are to be
waged at Washington before adjournment, there IS
likely to appear on the political skies new fixed
stars Just now it is difficult to say who are the
real leaders," whether administration anti-ad-
ministration Republicans. The whip of the adj
ministration however, is powerful influence III
shaping legislation and it is likely that some of
the promises of the platform will be carried out.
1t would be too much expect that all those prom
Uses will be carried out.
The executive department is placed in rather
delicate position by the action of the recacitrant
Republicans, inasmuch as any attempt to force adj
ministration measures through Congress will be
hailed with delight by the opposition, who would
see in such action bald usurpation of legislative
prerogatves by the executive department.. The
difficulties of the President and all those who be-
lieve in carrying out party promises are sufficient
to make one continual round of pleasure for those
who Republicans and yet opposed to the
policies of the Republican party.

ing, in any way dealing with, foreign spirits. In
these three books Mr.. Raupert has not only pene-
trated the mysteries of spiritism but he has gone
to the heart of the subject and brought the
stage the mediums themselves and explained their
methods of evocation. By the triple light of his

the underlying secrets and the very foundations of
spiritism.
In the midst of the innumerable errors which
signalize our epoch, it is consoing to behold the

the darkness of the abyss which has swallowed up
so many erring souls. We trust Mr. Raupert will

John Redmond, leader of the Irish National
party, will occupy his old seat in the House of
Commons. He is a remarkable man. who has al
ready achieved a commanding position among the
men in the Parliament of Great Britain and Ire
land, conspicuous for ability and debating talent
For many years he not only led the Home Rule
party to victory, but during these years he was the
leader of the only effective opposition in the House
of Commons, As spokesman of the Irish National
party he filed place in the House second only to
that of the Premier himself By his eloquence, his
mastership of the technicaities of parliamentary
procedure, and by his indomitable courage and per-
severance, he wrung from hostile opposition con-
cession after concession in favor of his country
and her people.
He compelled the enactment of measure for
providing habitable homes with an acre of land for
thirty thousand agricultural laborers; and he
forced the passage of bill bestowng notable ben
efts on town tenants. He brought about the re-
peal of the Infamous Arms Act obtained large
grants for the encouragement of the Gaelic Ian

Ireland broken up and sold to the peasants. After
