The great majority of people eat
butter and much prefer it to any OF
the substitutes which have been put
upon the market. However, great
many people must use substitute
on account Of the high prices which
prevail during certain months OF the
year.
oleomargine is the most common
substitute for butter and millions OF
pounds of this product are consumed
each year. The difference IN cost OF
production between oleomargarine
and butter is SO great that when but
ter is retailed at forty cents per
pound, oleomargarine may be retail
ed at twenty cents per pound at as
great profit to the dealer.
The person who chooses to pur:
chase the substitute should be allow
ed to do so and he should 7be requir.
ed to pay only the price OF the SUBJ
stitute. The difference in price be.
tween the genuine product and the
substitute is 50 great that dealers
are tempted to sell the latter for the
former. Only by requiring that the
consumer may difrerentiate between
the two articles can honest traffic in
the substitute be Insured,
This was contemplated by Congress
lwhen''the present internal revenue
tax of ten cents per pound was levied
upon "artifcially colored oleomargar.
inc" Many people think that all
oleomargarine is taxed ten cents per
pound. This is not a fact. Oleomar.
garine which is "artificailly colored"
so that the consumer cannot distin.
guish 1t from butter is the only cleo.
margarine that is thus taxed. When
1t is put upon the market in Its nat
ural color 1t is only taxed one-fourth
of one per cent per pound.
1t is only when the product is made
to look like butter so that 1t may be
fraudulently sold as butter that a
burdensome tax is imposed upon It.
The imposition OF the tax is not to
suppress the sale OF oleomargarine
or to make 1t more expensive to the
consumer, but to prevent fraud in its
SOLICITATION Sentinel.

cratic sweep in the presidential cleo
ton OF 1892 was foresha allowed by a
reduced Republican plurality In The
September Vermont election. The
normal Republican plurality in Ver:
mont OF late years has been between
10000 and 10000. The state must
still be subject more or less to the
influences working in politics over the
nation for or against the party in
power, and a decline in the Republi,
can plurality to around 10000 might
fairly be regarded as foreshadowing
some disturbance against Republican
escendency in the nation at large.

TODAY

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTO MAURIzIO, Italy, April
11.-"Hello, Clifford! This Is
fine!" was Rooseve1t's exclama-
tion today on meeting Pinchot,
former chief forester of the Unit
ed tSates, and one of the closest
men to Roosevelt in private and
public life.
The meeting of the former
president and his chief adviser ot
the tennis cabinet" took place
here at the villa of Miss Carew,
sister to Mrs. Roosevelt.
The meeting was early this
morning, Pinchot having arrived
here Unexpectedly at midnight
The greeting of Pinchot By
Roosevelt was made heartier be-
cause the colonel had not expected
to see Pinchot so soon. They
clasped hands like long lost broth
ers. 1t was almost a case of
falling into each others arms.
"NOthing to Give Out"
Roosevelt drew Pinchot into the
house, holding him affectionately
by the shoulder. A few minutes
later they reappeared and started
for the mountains for a stroll
which lasted two hours. Moth
ing to give out" was the simu'-
Itaneous ejaculation of both Roose-
Welt and Pinchot on toeir return
1t is fair to assume, however,
that Pinchot fully reported to HIS
former chief the Ballinger contro-
versy and the insurgent move N
the house of representatives.
IPinchot let fall one remark that
may bes taken to indicate that
Roosevelt has not repudiated Taft
even though rumor says that he
may be contemplating such action.
Pinchot said that Roosevelt ex-
lpressed surprise at not receiving
any personal messages from Pres.
!ident Taft or from any member ot
ITaft's official family.
Signor Caretti, mayor of Porto
Maurizio. today received the fol
lowing cablegram from President
Taft:
Received your courteous tels-
gram announcing that Roosevelt
ARRIVED and was received enthus-
iastically by the whole population
and that the city is proud to well
jcome him. In reply l beg to as
sure you and all your countrymen
that the American people are verJ
grateful for and greatly appreciate
the reception which Italians. from
sovereign to humblest subject.
have accorded our most disting-
uished citizen"

'3MONEY BARREL"
NOW POSING AS
AN OLD SOLDIER
TIMBER BARON'S ATTEMPT DECEIVE VOTERS
PROVES BOOMERANG WORSE THAN HIS RECENT Ex-
PLOTTS THROUGH THE WEAKIING WEEKIIES

r. L. Mccormick, old soldier!
This is the latest desperate
scheme of the money barrel, tim
Der trust candidate to get some
recognition in his campaign for
the senatorship.
His epistle to the voters, for
which he paid $4,000 postage just
to mail it, and in which he tried
to gather the mantle of Roose-
velt's popularity about his whis-
kers by declaring for "Roosevelt's
policies modified" does not seem
to have set the state on fire with
any great Mccormick enthusiasm,
so something else must be done.
Now he is going to pose as an
old soldier.
In one of those fulsome and
eulogistic screeds he SO delights
to peddle at so much per column
he recently had himself doomed
again, and one of the leading
causes for the great rush" to
Mccormick which it was there al
legged was in evidence was that he
is an old soldier, member of the
G. A. r., and that the boys in
blue are all flocking to his stand
|ard. Fttf
Now this has proven to be a
boomerang like the rest of his
political schemes.
AS matter of fact, Mccormick
never was a soldier. He never
saw battle in his life, except the
peaceful conflicts he used to have
in Wisconsin when he tried to kill
off Senator La Toilette and failed
SO miserably that he had to leave
the state himself to try to carry
out his own political ambition.
Mccormick, howe, er, because of
his tottering physical condition,
now evidently thinks he can pose
as an old soldier and get the SOL
dier vote. But 1t will not go
down with the boys who smelled
powder. They do not like the
idea of senatorial candidate who
was at home while they were In
the field coming out now and try
ing to boost his own personal
game in borrowed clothing by pos
ing as an old soldier.
why, he never was soldier,
and is not member of the q. A.
r. and we will take this thing up
in the post said member OF
the local G. A.. r. today.
"IIe evidently thought he could
publish this thing down In Port
land and have 1t circulate over
the south end OF the state, where
the boys do not know him, and get
some glory he is not entitled to.
We won't stand for any such game
of trying to use the post for poIiti-
cal purposes. especially from an
outsider who never was soldier
even."

WASHINGTON, April 11.-On
a quiet side street, almost under
the shadow of the capitol, is a
low, rambling, red brick struc-

Only in theory is the counting
all to be done and the money

when a policeman handed one of

last Monday morning, suspicious

evening, when her son Otto met
his uncle, Charles Habericht, on

had not reached the Habericht
