than kept up the Iowa standard in con

to send to Washington. Every district
ought to take pride in fully sustaining the

strive to see which can do the most for the
prestige of the state, a prestige which it
now has."
The Des Moines Capital finds many polnta
of resemblance In the two great Iowans
who have recently passed away, Messrs.
Duncombe and iteardshear. "Both," it
says, "were large mentally and physically.
They were both educated, big hearted, gen
erous, noble. Duncombe had a
wonderful mind; his memory wa retentive;
hla conversational powers fascinating; was
ccmpanlonable, high-minded, lovable.
Beardshear had many of Duncombe' qual
ities, though possibly not the mental grasp
which characterised Duncombe, having
more of the aervtlmenUl and less of the
stalwart reasoning traits. Beardahear did
not have the legal education and training
which Duncombe had experienced; other
wise - the resemblanco would have been
Si eater. The aimilarity In the two men is
ue to their genUenea. ant" their love of
their fellow men."
PALM OIL CANNOT BE USED

Commissioner Yerke. Ks. mines Sam

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Mr. Terkes,
the commissioner of Internal revenues, has
made ft decision o. ths questio. ef whether
palm oil In very small quantities may bo
used 1. tb manufacture of oleomargarine.
The commissioner holds In the negative.
Following Is th. decision:
On June 2S. 1902. you .ubmltted to thi.
office a eamola of. crude nnlm nil for in.
sr.ee Hon by the chemist of the bureau with
the view ot ascertaining whether or not
such pslm oil would be considered ft (egitl-
I mate Ingredient of oleomargarine.
After making full examination and chem
ical annlysls of the samples submitted you
i wer notified by offlc letter of July 2 tht
in on wa rancia, oi Dad tat and amell,
and that it was considered oy this otllce
wholly unfit for use In oleomargarine.
On July 11 you ubmltted a sample of
what you termed "refined palm oil ' and
asked for expression as to whether thi
oil would be claesed a a vegetable oil and
whether In Its present condition It would
b considered a eultable and proper in
gredient of oleomargarine. Thi sample
wa examined and subjected to chemical
sntysls in the office laboratory. It wa
found to contain a large amount of free
fatty acid. It was by no mean free from
disagreeable odor and taste and was of a
very deep red or orange color. If oil like
the sample was used In any considerable
quantity as one -of the fatty ingredients It
would undoubtedly cause a condition under
which thla office would rule that the oleo
margarine contained an ingredient deleteri
ous to publio bealtb and offensive in taste
and ordor.
After this second ssmple had been sub
mitted and the matter waa under advise
ment In this office fullest opportunity was
given for hearing an argument by you and
others Interested upon ths subject of ths
use of palm oil in ths manufacture of oleo
margarine. As a result of the examination made of
ssmple oil submitted It wa vlrtuallv
agreed at th hearing that palm oil of the
gr.de of the sample examined could not
be Introduced Into the manuufacture of
oleomargarine In considerable quantities as
oleomargarine oil, neutral oil, cottonseed
oil. butter or milk are now Introduced, but
only In quite small qualities or proportions.
It was further found by examination In
thle office that take any given quantity of
unartlnclally colored oleomargarine If
three-tenths of 1 per cent of the palm oil
submitted was Introduced therein ft would
give to the finished product a shade of
yellow and that the finished product would
In appearance be In imitation or semblance
of butter. In other vnr;s, that If to the
finished sum total ot uncolored oleomar
garine In weight 1,600 pound there wa
added ft little les than five pound of thi
palm oil th result would be a marked
change In color, there being secured
through the Introduction of the palm oil
to the finished product a ahade of yellow,
causing tha finished product to look like
butter.
Under the law a tax of 10 cent per pound
Is assessed against oleomargarine down to
when it is free from artificial coloration
which makes It look like butter or any
shade of yellow, In which case the tax Is
one-fourth of 1 cent per pound. This offlcs
tules where so minute and Infinitesimal
a quantity of a vegetable oil le used In the
manufacture of nlonrirtirln aa la ne.
posed to be used of palm oil, and through
its use the finished product look like but
ter of ny shade of yellow, It cannot be
considered that the oil 1 used with the
purpose or Intention of halnz a knninH.'
constituent, part ar element or the product,
but I used olely for the purpose of pro
ducing or Imparting a yellow color to the

WRONG IDEA0F PENSION LAW
Confederate Soldier of Opinion That
. Recent Act Provided Pen.
slona for Then. .
WASHINGTON.' Aug.- ll.-The commls
sloner of pensions today gav out the state,
ment that an erroneous impression seems to
exist among many ex-confederate soldiers
regarding ths Interpretation to be put upon
th. recent act of eongress relieving union
soldiers of th disabilities for having pre
viously served la the confederate army.
The idea seems to prevail that under this
act the government Is authorised to pension
ex-confederate soldiers, and the result Is
that the pension office Is being deluged with
applications from the former wearers of ths
gray. The commissioner explained that the
law I. question does not contemplate the
pensioning of ex-confederate soldiers, but
' that It was designed solely to remove the
1 disability which so long existed tn the case
I of men who were pressed Into the confed-
erate service and later . joined tbe union
army.
