The w. c. It. U. and the Colleges.

TO the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
The action of the Indiana w. C. T. y. in
regard to the alleged growing use of intoxi-
cants at college banquets, and notably at
those supported by the State, will meet the
appreciation of good men and women every
where regardless of their utilization with
any temperance organization or not. No
mother can look with indifference upon the
associations of her sons and daughters dur
ing college life, when away from the in
fuences of home; and to be informed that
college festive occasions, whether in the
form of class reunions or fraternity ban.
quets, are celebrated with intoxicants, will
deter any judicious parent from exposing
his or her son or daughter to such peril
If an education can be possibly obtained
where such peril does not exist. 1t is prob
ably impossible to prevent the existence Of
saloons in either Bloomington or Terre
Haute or Lafayette, and by so much con-
tributing to the dangers of student life
but the festivities of colleges can be and
must be sufficiently under the control Of
college authorities to enable them to forbid
tntoxicants as a part of the entertainment
hence the w. c. 7. u. will receive the cor
dial cooperation of all prudent fathers and
mothers in first uncovering and then sup
pressing this danger. 1t may not be pos
sible even If desirable to regulate this by
statutory enactment: There is altogether
too much tendency to rely upon civil law
for what can be effected only by moral law.
Let ii be well understo by the parents
of the State that the announced purpose TO
teach young men to break away from
ecclesiastical domination" at the state-sup-
ported schools implies a use of intoxicants
at banquets in defiance of the prevailing
thought of all churches, and these so-called
state schools will soon be Stunned by a
class of young men whom they can poorly
do without. So far as revealed by the con-
vention, it is in this moral field only that
they propose TO act. Young men and young
women at colleges must take their chances
with all other young men and women as TO
the perils of the saloon, but they need not
and must not have the added peril of in
toxicants in college festivities or otherwise
properly coming within the police authority
OF college faculties and trustees This ac-
ton of the w. c. T. II. will be highly COM
mended by all lovers of temperance reform
because II Indicates the prompt adoption
of Miss Wizards last words to the union
saying that the supreme duty of the hour
81 to attack the sullen fortress of moderate
drinking. In no guise does moderate drink-
ing more successfully approach than in the.
use of intoxicants in social life, and ali suc1
cess should attend them in this heroic tenn
peranee work. Tt is hoped they will spare
no college in which the use Of intoxica4lts
Is encouraged by either the example or the
indifference Of those In authority.

FALL RIVER, March 1O--A curtailrnent Of
production in the cotton mills of New England
is under discussion by manufacturers of this city,
at large to adopt this policy the coming summer
Mill brokers here are chiefly interested at present
as officers of the Manufacturers Association say
nothing has been done by the executive commit
tee or leading members. While several members
say that curtaiment is necessary. they also say
the proper time for it has not come. They admit
however, that when 1t does come the effect will
be fully as general as last year. Trade is not as
good expected ana the outlook is far from
promising. The money market has great influence
and it is considered unwise policy to keep on
accommodating goods and gdepend upon borrowed
funds to meet the pay-ron or to cover operating
expenses.
NEW YORK March 10.-The business passing
in the primary dry goods market is still along
quiet lines. There is no increase in the general
demand for staple goods and the trading in the
more fancy lines is irregular. Jobbers, how ever
report very fair sales locally and good re turns
from out-of-town customers. Most mail orders
from Western and interior jobbers are of a fair
character but these also irregular in the
various lines, some goods selling extremely WE'LL
while more staple lines scarcely change ha 1ds
at all. The situation in staple cottons is n
changed. Bleached goods are very quiet, are
brown goods in both wide and narrow lines. Print
cloths are very dull. The market for extras is
still quoted nominally at 3-16c Prints show no
change.
FALL RIVER, March 10.-The print cloth mar
ket Is dull at 3-16c.

Mayor Pagan of Hnboken Refuses to
SettIe tho Bill for Services.

Ex-Judge E. 7. Paxton, of the Hoboken
District Court, will begin suit against the
city in the Hudson County Circuit Court
to recover 1915, which, he claims is due
him for services rendered in the settle
ment of cases which came before him
while he occupied the bench in Hoboken.
When ~ex-Judge Paxton's term as Dis
trict Court Judge expired on January rs,
about twenty-five cases, which were tried
before him, remained undecided. Under
paragraph 224 of section 1, of a supple
ment to the act creating the District
Court, he was entitled, it is claimed, to
the sum of SIS for each case undecided at
the expiration of his term, within
three days after such expiration.
Judge Paxton decided twenty-five cases
within the three days prescribed by law
and presented a claim of 1878 to the
Board ole Council. 1t was passed by the
Council, but Mayor Pagan vetoed it. The
Mayor claimed that the law under which
Judge Paxton sought payment for his
three days service was unconstitutional
and that his claim was excessive.
Attorney James Il. Minturn for legal
the city was compelled to settle with
Judge Paxton as a law suit was inevita-
BILE and that Judgement would be rem
dered against the city unless the con-
stitutionality of the law was questioned.
Mayor Pagan questioned the constitu-
tionality of the law and refused to sign
the warrant in payment of the claim. AS
a result Judge Paxton has been unable
to collect his money and will be COM
PEELED to institute proceedings against the
