OLEOMARGARINE.

The old controversy over the taxa.
ton of oleomargarinc is to be revived
in congress during the coming month.
Oleomargarinc was originally i'm.
vented as nutritious food product
for use of poor people. When made
in good factories, it is just as whole.
some as butter Its manufacture is
based on the theory that animal fat
can be extracted from beef that shall
be substantially like the butter.fat in
milk that makes butter.
The friends of oleomargarne de.
nounce the tax, which prevents the
manufacturers from Colorng their
product TO initiate butter. They think
their little deception is no more harm
ful than the many pleasing little
frauds used by the housewife, who
knows that the eye must be attracted
before the appetite responds.
There would be little feeling against
coIorinG oleomargine to represent
butter, provided every package was
clearly and truthfully marked. were
it not that hotels, boarding houses,
and restaurants would unblushingly
place it on the table as the undiluted
product of the churn

butter consumed up TO a few years
ago, wnen butter was much lower,

You read in r. II. Danas 1.-TWO
Years Before the Mast" how the Rus
slams used to eat tallow just as if it
were candy. Probably we are all
rather absurd in insisting that butter
must have the golden sunset tinge,
which the butter mixer of the cream
cry knows much more about than the
COW.
If white oleo looks too much like
plain democratic lard, why not let the
makers tint it brown, or some other
good honest shade? But for the sake
OF the travelling man, we protest
against yellow.

THE TRAMP CONVENTION,

The tramp convention at Cincinnati
was not a great success. To most PEG.
pie the idea of a tramp convention
seems absurd, and yet gatherings of
several thousand of them have been
held in recent years. Certain secluded
but accessible islands in the Mississip.

more favorable place. In spite of
all their bravado, they are little in.

police.
The most notable event in tramp

enactment in New York of law es.

NEBRASKA FARM CONGRESS-.

Norfolk has had memorable
weeks session of the Nebraska farm
congress and one from which there
should be lasting benefit.
This point ought to be emphasized
in connection with this farm commits
sion's work-the commission is not
trying to teach the farmer how to
farm, but is trying to improve the con-
ditions of the farmer-socially and
economically.
There should be no prejudice among
farmers against this commission On
the contrary, there should be the
heartiest cooperation. For the entire
work of the commission, donated to
the state by self.sacrificing, public
spirited men, aims at improving the
life of the farmer. and if the farmer
will cooperate, there will be genuine
results.

VALENTINES DAY

This festival of cupid is a very diff.

The robust frankness with which the
old time and unafraid lover put down
his sentiments in black and white, has
disappeared from our pallid displays
OF affection.
Years ago, IL the lacey affairs they
sold in the stores We're not warm

own hearts and cupids, and created
his own selection of adjectives to set
forth his torrid affection.

Young folks of today have too keen

UNREST In PORTUGAL.

Human nature is a variable guam
tity and its conclusions today cannot
be banked upon to remain the same
tomorrow. In Portugal we are see
ing striking example of this at the
present moment.
1t was not long ago that the people
of that country, tired of kings and
aristocracy and all that the court and
royalty stood for, determined to have
a change. They succeeded in throwing
them out of office and established a
new government to be controlled and
administered by themselves. But no
sooner is the republic seemingly we'll
entrenched and exercising its power
beneficently, than the same people
turn around and try to overthrow the
republic which they initiated. The
two extreme elements of Portugal So
ciety, the royalists and the men who
struck on the street railways, have
Joined hands in an attempt to re-es-
tablish royalty and put a king on the
throne.
1t is doubtful if they succeed in
their revolution. 1t will probably
prove only an insurrection. 1t will be
a glad day for the workingmen if they
do not succeed in their foolish mood
to strike down the very forces which
mean so much for their prosperity
and larger freedom.
Portugals experience only empha-
sizes that in order for people to en-
joy the blessings of a free govern
ment they must be intelligent, high
minded and self.poised.

The Saturday Evening Post doesn't
believe that either of the political
parties are going to be disrupted. 1t
recalls that in one campaign the

Mr.. Bryan. 1t adds, "In the short

its internal disagreements.
