The Monitor believes that the lower
branch of Congress. in voting to give
eoastwise ships free passage of the
Panama canal while other ships must
pay a toll. has violated the original
intent and purpose of the nations
treaty with foreign countries, in
which it was proposed to give ships
of all nations equal rights and privi-
leges in passing the great waterway.

HOW THEY WORK.

The more the Monitor has oppor-
tunity to observe, the more it believes
the farmers should watch with care
all proposed oleomargarine leglsla-
tion. Epecially do they want to be
sure that whatever changes are made
do not take one jot or little from the
provisions of the present law, which
has been a real protection to the
farmers. and has been at least q
thorn in the flesh of the oleo manu-
facturers. The farmers are content
with the present law. and while realiz-
ing that changes or new laws are pro-
posed, are asleep to the dangers liable
to be brought to them in new or
changed legislation CD this subject.
The great bone of contention with the
oleo manufacturers is the color pro-
vision in the Grout law. and while
changes are asked in the name OF
other points all proposed legislation
tends to make the coloring of olec
in imitation of butter easier.
The oleomargarine manufacturers
are making an effort to bring about
the changes proposed. This act is
disclosed in a little experience
coming home to the Monitor.
Not many months ago we published
an editorial squib in which the matter
of coloring oleomargarine yellow wa.
mentioned. Some weeks later
stranger called at the office, pro
duced a newspaper clipping which
proved to be the Monitors comment
and then produced a typewriter shee
which dealt with the color of cleo an
butter. The article claimed tina
really oleomargarine was first colore'
yellow and butter makers late
adopted this color. He asked US t
sign some name to the article an
publish it as an original letter. Vine
informed that We could not see on
way clear to do that he proposed
letter from his firm in Chicago. TIL
letter stated that this typewritte
article had been prepared in thei
office, and asked him to have somt
one transcribe the article into lon
hand, sign and present to US for puI
LEGATION.
Although failing with the editor.
was only a few weeks before we r
ceived this same article copied in
long hand, and signed "John LerC
Wheelock, St. Johnsbury, VT" "
published this communication on pas
two of the issue of May / of tt
Monitor.
This alone proves that the oleoma
garlne interests are behind oleo legi
lation with methods not ~altogeth,
a%boveboard. Will the farmers star
for these things? Watch propost
changes and new legislation Wi
careful scrutiny.

ROOSEVELT ONCE MORE

New York. March 5--To clear up
conflicting statements as to what he
/ said regarding the presidential nomi-

out a letter, written on January 16,
of this year, to Frank a. Munsey. 1t
is in part as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Munsey:-T received

first place to thank you very warmly

in the editorial you have stated the

Munsey, that to my mind it in itself,
furnishes the answer to the request
you make that | should openly an
nounce that if nominated | will not
refuse the nomination. Your kindness
and the disinterested friendiness of
your action entitle you to receive
from me in full, a statement of the
reasons why | do not feel that the

er for me to make any such state
ment What the needs of the future
may demand. | cannot tell.
MY dear sir, | entirely agree with
YOU as to the fact that my silence is
deliberately misrepresented by my
enemies, with the purpose of confus-
ing good people and getting them to
take :. wrong View; and moreover, l
entirely agree with you that this pur-
pose is at least partly achieved. The
trouble is that, as so often happens
this is a case where any course pur-
sued would lead to Just such misrepre-
sentation. just such misjudGment, just

Figueroa, Madero's trusted chief 81
rurales IN Guerrero and Morelos, and
during the previous revblutlon his
great ally In the south, tonight is re-
ported in revolt.
The news caused sensation among
the southern Maderistas, 1900 or
whom have enlisted under the banner
OF the new revolution. Figueroa's
grievance is alleged to be the presi-
dents action in listening to a pro-
posal from Jesus Salgado. the Guer-
rero rebel. whom Figueroa had been
fighting for many weeks, that Fisue-
roa be retired from Guerrero on
promise of the other to surrender,
Salgado is said 20 have boasted that
his promise meant nothing.
1t was semi-officially admitted to-
day that Orozco has gone over TO the
enemy, His detection was said to be
no great surprise TO Madero for the
reason that the former revolutionary
leader on his last visit TO the capital.
demanded, and was refused $4,000
pesos to make up 100000 pesos,
which he claimed for loss and dam
age sustained In the previous revo-
luton. When he returned to Ihihua-
hun. he soon rendered his resignation
as chief of tho Maderista forces.
The French consulate here ap
peared to have no news OF the coming
of a French warship. The exodus of
foreigners continued unabated to-

four and several extra day coaches
with all available space occupied. one

quarters that twQ-thirds Of the for
