THE REAL QUESTION
REGARDING BUTTER COLOR
0 the Editor of THE TIMES:

TO the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Mr., Whitaker. of the National
Dairy Union, in O. letter which
you published recently, criticised your
editorial on the question of color in but
ter or oleomargarine. He asserts that
yellow Is the norman color of butter.
The Department of Agriculture does
not sustain his assertion. In official
documents of the department on the
natural color of butter varies all the
way from white to deep orange yellow.
The uniform yellow color which we as
sociate with butter Is the result of
artificial color, which has been uni
versally used by creameries and dairies
for more than thirty years. While this
uniform color originated in oleomargar-
inc, in the formula of lMegemouries,
there ls a broader question involved.
Now, the real question is whether the
Government has the right to come into
taste of the people in the food we
serve on our ables. 1t can prescribe
that food products which go through
the channels of interstate commerce
shall be pure and wholesome, but can
II justly regulate the color of our
dishes, our linen, our bread, or any
thing that we consume or use?
The creamery colors its butter to make
the product more attractive, stimulate
consumption and obtain a better price
The artificial color often covers up the
inferior quality of the dairy product and
thus deceives the consumer. The quality
OF oIeomarga arine Is regulated by Gov.
ernment inspection, and the only effect
of color Is the esthetic advantage OF
pleasing the eye of the consumer.

THE CoMPLEAT LETTER WRITER.

Those who sigh for the good old days Of the long
Iago are heard, from time to time, to lament the de-
cline of the gentle art Of letter writing Even the
most modern among US, those who hold that the
lchange OF sken hose and frilled shirts for open
plumbing and a telephone was good bargain, even
they are tempted to join In the lamentation when
they contrast Chesterfield or Jefferson with mod.
ern, typewriter, dictated A. l.. to B. P, libel on
the name Of letter writing
But we must remember that there were bad let
ter writers in Chesterelds day and that they have
happily been forgot. 1t is not time for lamenta-
ton but rather for exultaton, for we have with us
today one Of the best letter writer's of all time.

contemporaries can hold candle to him.

Before the primary came into vogue, politics
the gentle art of grabbing the power to misrep-
resent the people.
Under the primary system, politics is the very
different art of getting right with the people, and
then letting them do the business.
In all the history of campaigning, there has new
er been an instance when the action of single
State was fraught with such tremendous, such con-
elusive, such unquestonabe significance, as that of
Illinois yesterday.
The Taft forces expected to carry Illinois, down
to the day when the Legislature forced by public
opinion to establish the primary. After that they
yet fatuousy hoped-hoped, not because they had
right to hope, but because in their innocence they
didn't know what it was all about They could not
understand They knew it was bad for them they
could not conceive how bad.
Never has there been such an engine of political
power; never has single concession to the people
been so sweeping in its effects, as the primary. II
