An Important Memorial On the
American Administration
and German Trade.
IT is BASED UPON MATERIAL co.,
LECTED BY MANUFACTURERS LEAGUE.
Five Points Presented Upon Which
the German Overnm is Urged
to Suggest Reforms in the Adj
mfStratiOm of the United States
Customs Regulations.

Berlin, June 29.-An important
memorial on the American administra'
ton and German trade has been pre-.
scented by the League of German Man
u~facturers to Chancellor Won Buelow
| Baron Won Richthofen, secretary OF
foreign affairs: Herr Moeller, Prussiau
minister OF commerce and industry,
| and TO Herr Buenz, German consul
general at New York, who is now in
Berlin.
The memorial is based upon material
which the league collected in accord
ance with a resolution adopted in 1908,
and was written by the Saxon manu-
f%acturcr, Alfred Petschow, who was
SEM 10 the United States TO collect in
formation among importers. The
league summarizes its views in the
following five points:
First, the American government
should be prevailed upon TO accept
German manufacturers declarations,
sworn to before American corsuls, as
evidence Of value in all cases.
Second, it is necessary to r~eintroduce
the former privilege of appealing d.
rectly 10 the American treasury de-
partment, because, under The present
practice, a decision. rendered by the
general appraisers can not be over
thrown even when the courts find it TO
be erroneous.
Third, the general appraisers should
be required to communicate to the i'm
porter sentenced, the penalty and duty,
and the reasons for the boards deci-
sions, so that the importer car defend
himself.
Fourth, the practice Of CHASING Ger
man goods sold in the United States as
consigned and subject to special legis-
lation merely because the invoices are
made out If dollars and cents should
cease.
Fifth, shipments OF goods and sam
pies should not be detained in public
as hitherto, until the buyers re-
fuse 20 take the goods because of too
late delivery and the samples are no
longer available for the approaching
The memorial complains that such
detention 10 occurs eve when bond
or security is offered. 1t concludes
with reference to the importance of the
German market to American exporters
being much greater than that of the
American market to Germany, and ar

Ruling for the Drunkard's Wife.

Habitual drunkenness is a direct
cause for absolute divorce in 35 states
of the union. The supreme court of
West Virginia has just decided that
the same offense justifes a wife in
deserving her husband and that in so
breaking off marital relations the wo-
man loses none of her dover rights.
In his opinion the deciding justice
says: mo woman is compelled to live
with the worst of all brutes-a drunken
brute-to the peril of her health and
life"

The case is one peculiarly plain. The

A SILLY IDEA.

The idea. originated by an Iowa mar
Of color, that the negro race should
adopt and have a flag OF its own, has
gained considerable approval among
the individuals and organizations OF
the race. The originator imagines that
the adoption OF a flag would have con-
siderable effect on the race problem.
The idea is essentially negroid, and
born more of the racial taste for bright
colors than OF knowledge or good sense
The adoption of negro flag would
have about the same influence on the
race question in America as the wear
ing OF red neckties and yellow band
anas has had. Flags represent gov
ernments alive or dead. not races or
peoples. There is no such thing as a
Caucasian flag Why should there be
one for the negroes?
What the negro needs is not flag
but deealogQe of industry and good
morals. and an ambition to keep It's
commandments. He needs knowledge
and skill and the viii to work. He
wants courage and conscientiousness,
and the desire for growth He lacks
Q handkerchief more than flag, a
rooftree more than flag pole. Instead
OF a wave OF enthusiasm over SYM
boil that would mean nothing il it were
