At one time William d. Holman was
chairman of the committee on appro.
priations. and won the sobriquet of
the watchdog of the treasury" and
in order to retain it, was an obstacle
in the way of appropriations for many
deserving undertakings. On one oc-
casion there came up for discussion
a most meritOrious proposition in Hol-
mans own district. but not more so
than many others. He was persistent
in his efforts to have the measure
pass, but as he arose to advocate it
one of the members confronted him
by repeating the lines from Byron:
"Tis sweet to hear the 'watch-d0g's'
tuneful bark
Bay deep-mouthd welcome as we
draw near home"

If Congressman Drane should Sc
cure the repeal of all taxes on oleo-
margarine. he will render the greatest
possible service to the country. The
tax was levied simply as a protective
duty in favor of the butter makers
of Wisconsin, Illinois and other butter
producing states, enabling them to
charge and get outrageous prices for
their product, and it ought to be re-
pealed at once.-Junta Gorda Herald
