The strongest evidence of the ever
growing tendency toward purer food is
the protection now being afforded by
the courts to those who are devoting

fest by the decision just rendered by
Judge Hazel of the United States cir
cult court in favor of the National Bis

to all lovers of biscuit, crackers and

Judge HazeTs decision is broad and
clear. and of great importance to the
public at large. He says in part. The
proofs show that the National Biscuit
company manufactures various kinds
of bakery products, which they place
upon the market in special and distinct
cartons and packages. Upon the end Of
each package of carton is applied the

Judge Hazel further orders that the

The importance of this decision is bet

that millions of people depend solely
upon the 1n-er-seal trade mark as a
guide in buying biscuit, crackers and

called to the fact that no monument

tinguished naval hero can be found
Secretary Moody will order a warship
to France to bring them home.
A search was made at the instiga-
ton of the Philadelphia Times about
four years ago for the grave of Adj
miral Jones, and correspondent as
serted that he had discovered where
the great sailor was buried The spot
he designated was in the heart of Paris
where under building he declared the
body of the famous captain had been
placed. An attempt was made at the
I time to have congress appropriate
money and send a warship to bring
home the coffin containing the bones,
but no action was taken owing to doubt
regard the authenticity of the alleg-
ed discovery.

italy committed, that the oath would
operate to interfere with good citizen
ship or involve treachery to the govern
ment, is one in which the public is
Interested A careful reading of the
obligation will scarcely furnish reason
able ground for any such objection.
1t seems to us that it would require q
strained and highly technical construc-
ton of the word political used there
in, as applying to the government. By
political organization, it is not un-
natural to believe was meant political
party, and the idea had in view, to
place obligation to the union superior
to that involved in such party mem
bership. We venture the belief that
depreciation before and by the only
body having authority to construe it
the Typographical Union itself-it will
be found that the agitation of this mat
ter has been entirely premature and has
proceeded from totally false promises.
In any view of the case it appears
unreasonable to go upon the hypothe-
sis that the printers belonging to this
organization have subscribed or intend
to subscribe to a proposition that
would involve treachsry or disloyalty
to the government No branch of
trade unionism is marked by higher
intelligence than that of the printers,
more sensible conservatism. Surely
they haven't in q short space of time
knowingly become recreant to the OBJ
| igations of good citizenship. They
| themselves are as much attached to the
! government, as much interested in
maintaining a strong spirit of national
loyalty as any class of our people
and they are as prompt and faithful in
the discharge of the duties of citi-
zenship, whether in peace or war, as
those who are now attempting to dis
4 credit the sincerity of their national al
1 legianee. What folly, we might say
J what rot it is, for those outside of the
} Typographical Union to take its or
ganization OATH and attempt to show
: that there is some hidden meaning in
: it operating to convert the printer from
loyal to eisloyal citizen, when the oath
) Itself bears no such meaning on its

t in themselves sufficient to give an.
