1t IS good to note that Vermont's rep

their reason over the Sulzer resolution,
abrogatiDg the Russian treaty, and vote
for proposition which embodied a
direct insult to that country, as did a
large majority of the members. Con-

support the Objectionable resolution.
When the more reasonable Senate
resolution came before the House, Mr..
Foster, as the ranking member of the
committee on foreign affairs on the
republican side, addressed the House
briefly. The following extract taken
from the Congressional Record can

Then, too, We must not forget that the
desired eud is not reached by abrogating
the treaty. Our government must 60

treaty with Russia embodying among
other things the desire of the American
people respecting the recognition by
Russia of American passports. The
task which our government has before

is of the highest importance that this
resolution should contain nothing in the
way of phraseology that would add to
the difficulty of the problem.
do not sympathize much with the
suggestion which has been made here

FRIDAY, JANUARY -, 1912.

President Taft. by his positive an
nouncemeut that he will not counts
nance any attack upon Col. Roosevelt
on account Of any action of the latter
affecting the status of either man, has
realized the expectations of those IN
terested in the attitude of these two
influential representative men. The
action of the President under the cir
cumstances of Col Roosevelt's implied
disapproval of some parts of the admin
istration policy, is obviously consis-
tent part of his purpose to make his
leadership largely serviceable to all,
in times when there are so many con-
Trajectory political ideas advocated by
politicians that the confusion threatens
to halt the proper course of business.
And surely the President by his action,
denoting confidence in his own judg-
ment and policy, and besides, the belief
that sufficient number of the people
are intelligent enough to give due
credit for service, whether that be given
in craftsmanship or criticism, gives evil
dence of the most necessary qualification
for leadership.
Attacks upon the spunky aud capable
contributing editor of the widely read
Outlook" would not help or serve the
purpose of securing the much-to- be
desired nomination of President Taft,
because Col. Roosevelt both by force OF
circumstances and because he is an
honest man, will not 60 anything to
justify public expressions of censure
by direct malicious attack upon the
President. And by breaking his given
word that he would not urge his own
nomination he, as he we'll knows
would be generally adjudged insincere
and Enthusiastically, and so would go hi
chief claim to political preferment. Sc
far Mr.. Roosevelt has only risked
IN his writings, candid opinion Of
some parts of the administration policy
and although it would have been gener
Gus in him to have written up othe
matters, his utterances were Legitimate
criticism, supposed to aid in preventing
measures that he could not even seen
to approve and at the same time b
true to his own convictions.
Obviously President Taft wishes tina
the "rule of reason" rather than that Q
irrational sentiment shall influence hi
supporters in the matter noted. An
what he thinks best in this matte
should govern those who desire his nom
ination and reelection.

A Welcome Advance

The discoveries in medical science
rival those in the mechanical world. 1t
is announced that an improved method
of administering ether or chloroform
for surgical operations has been discov-
cred whereby the danger of death as a
result of the use of anesthetics aud the
severe nausea so often suffered by
patients are practically eliminated. The
Springfield Republican says that the
basis of the new method is 20 force the
vapor of the ether or chloroform, OF
mixture If both, through warm water
before letting the patient breathe it.
The water is declared TO absorb the
poisonous aldehydes, which combined
with the chill of the auesthetic, have
been the cause of nausea. In addition
few drops of spirits of orange are
poured through piece of gauze laid
over the top of the mask, which i.
placed against the patients mouth and
nose. The odor of this perfume i,
said to be so penetrating that the
patient who takes a few whiffs of il
before the ether or chloroform is turned
on, will not smell the anesthetic at all
The new method has been successful,
employed in about 5000 cases-Mont

Why Tax OIeomarsa rine 2

Some time ago the st. Adams Mes
senger asked this question: "What is
the reason for tax on oleomargarine".
So far no explanation determining the
question raised has been given. Such
an explanation justifying the imposition
of the rate of taxation now imposed
would make very interesting reading.
From the view point of the makers of
butter the tax on oleomargarine is not
sufficiently high to serve their interests.
Aud certainly no other excuse could be
found for taxation of a commodity
bought by people who cannot afford to
pay the price of the superior article of
food. Taxing the stuff has not lessened
the consumption of it, or increased the
demand for the more expensive product,
butter. And inasmuch as taxation has
not prevented fraudulent substitution
of oieomargarine for butter, obviously
taxation could not be considered as a
measure of protection for consumers,
nor should such dubious expedient be
necessary in addition to pure food laws
These cases of fraud, however, have
been few. AS a general thing dealers
have complied with one decree of the
law, supposed to compel them to sell i,
Tor what it actually is, refined ANNA
fat, or, oleomargarine. That such a
measure of protection for the public in
general and butter makers in particular
was necessary no one questions, but &
tax protects no one. And the right tt
impose an internal revenue tax on &
necessity of the poor cannot be justified
by any theories approved by reputabl,
economists 1t would be as sensible t.
impose cent or two per bar on com
mon laundry soap, to protect the maker
OF high grade toilet soap, as it is t.
impose the present rate of taxation oil
oleomargarine to protect creameries O
dairymen. just so long as the com
modify, labeled for what it is, can b
had cheaper it will be used by people
forced to economize, instead of pur
butter. And to tax it so that it vii
really decrease the demand for thi
wholesome substitute would be an un
just discrimination against an impor,
ant industry, employing great nun
Der OF wage earners, and an additions
hardship for poor people who woul
still have to get along with somethin
of the sort within their means. Why
