If YOU BUY WOODEN CLOTHES

Going into small custom tailor shol
to learn the price of clothes, | was TOLD
that q suit that last year cost me So;
would this year cost me $40.
When / protested at the increas,
the tailor replied: Il must get thai
for wool clothes. Otherwise ! ask
you less and give you cotton and
shoddy."
He took from his shelf some small
strips Of cloth. To my eyes they were
Of excellent texture. He frayed the
edge of one, aud, drawing from it q
thick thread, UNFINISHED it. 1t showed
adusty, short fibre stuff which signified
nothing to my untutored eyes until he
explained that this was a mixture of
cotton and shoddy. Shoddy is moth.
ing more nor less than old clothes
ground up. They are ground into
powder and are first blown and then
rolled into the "wOolen" cloth. The
shoddy in the strip of cloth the tailor
vas showing Inc made a kind of dust
on his fingers. The test of the cotton
came on touching lighted match to
the frayed part. 1t burned freely.
A purely wool fiber shrivels up rather
than burns.
Either people pay the higher prices
for wooden Clothes" remarked the
tailor, ''or else they pay the former
lower prices and get cotton and shoddy
mixed With the wool. Such clothes do
not wear; they turn rusty and get
weak and rotten"
This indicates the situation with
WOODEN clothing throughout the coun.
try. As prices 60 up. the material
deteriorates. This has been the obvi.
Gus tendency for the past twenty years.
The figures for the last decade are not
accessible, but it is a plain, bald fact
that our WOODEN mills used one-tenth
less wool in 1900 than in 1890. while
they used ? million pounds more of
cotton and Is million pounds more of
shoddy. Heaven and the protected
wooden manufacturer know how much
les wool and how much more cotton
and shoddy are being used in wooden"
clothes in this year 1910 than were
used in 19OO.-Henry George, jr., in

A SENATOR.

The newspapers, some months ago,
printed advertisements which solicited
the public to buy 10000 shares of the
stock of the Arizona Metals company
at $3.50 per share (par value, So
The advertisements set forth hopes
and prospects in the manner common
to such solicitations, but the larger
type was reserved for the legend.
Senator Charles Dick, president.
Washington, ID. C."
There is nothing uncommon in a
senator's being an investor in mining
compsny-witness the cases of Pen
rose and Guggenheim. But where
Dick differs from the Others is this:
There is no similar recent records Of a
senator publicly lending his name and
Office as Q lure to small investors to
buy stocks. Some of the others might
do in secret things much more gravely
improper, but they would hardly do
what Dick has done in this case.
Incidentally, a few weeks ago, the
advertising agent who put out these
announcements sued for the amount of
his bill; As part of the suit, the fur
nitOre in the company's Office was
attached, whereupon it appeared that
the Office furniture didn't belong to
the company, but had been loaned to
it. One curious episode in this history
was Senator Dicks violent protests
when the advertisement was placed in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. What
was the reason Was he willing to
allow the use of his name outside of
Ohio, but not before the eyes of his
own constituents. Or did he object to
the revenue going to a newspaper
which is opposed to him politically:
Either would he possible and charac-
teristic in the case of man of Senator
Dicks caliber. Somehow the very
smallness and cheapness of the things
that make this senator objectionable

MAKING HASTE VERY SLOWLY

There is no unseemly haste in Wash
ington to establish postal savings
banks. On the contrary, the official
program is one of infinite deliberatiou.
The board of trustees has appointed
committee to draft plan or organi.
zation and adjourned until its report
is ready. This will be some time next
fall.
When the plan has been thorough
ly formulated a few offices are to be
designated As postal savings depositor-
les. There will be q dozen or SD Of
them. All are to be located in the
larger cities.
Then the experiment is to be watch
ed. If successful it is to be gradually
extended. Otherwise, amendments t.
the plain will be made. After awhile
however, unless there is some reyulsion
in public sentiment, the country will
have postal savings banks.
The delay may be entirely justified.
Perhaps the caution is commendsble.
A postal banking system is not to be
formulated of hand. The blanks and
other machinery for the business re-
quire time. 1t is safe, too. to try out
the system before fixing it upon the
country.
Ofthe final establishment of sound
and progressive postal savings system
in this country there can be no doubt.
Reforms do not move backward. At
the same time, one could wish for
greater evidences of earnestness on
the part of those now charged with in.
augurating the system, despite defects
in the enabling law, which this paper
has already pointed out.-(Newark

A DOOMED SPORT.

As a result of the general disgust
over the recent uprising at Reno, in
which the alleged hopes of the white
race made a pitifal exhibition Of
senility, there is a nationwide move
ment against pugilism, and it is evil
dent that the end Of the ring, as an
institution, ia in sight.
Among those who support such q
movement are many sports who were
fight fans in times past, some of them
as recently as a few weeks ago. That
they have lost interest in the game is
not entirely due to the outcome of the
Reno fight, or to the fact that a black
man whipped white one. This has
happened before, on several occasions.
Dixon, Cans and Langford all negroes,
whipped many whites in the course Of
their eventfal careers, and there was
no race feeling about it.
For a couple of weeks before the
fight there was crowd Of gifted writ
ers at Reno, and they produced
literature" by the bushel, showing
what a fine creature the trained fight
ing man is; how he is at once an object
lesson and an inspiration to a people
who are becoming anaemic, and a
great deal more iapdoodle Of the same
kind. That sort of stuff would have
been acceptable to the early days Of
prize fighting, when champions fought
for glory more than for money. The
old time fighter would enter the ring
for almost any kind Of u purse, aud
the winner took the purse, which was
right and proper.
The Jefieries-JohnsOn mix.up was
a commercial transaction. The loser
left the ring with a larger fortune than
the ordinary hardworking man can
accumulate in a lifetime. Every
body interested in the business was cut
for The money. There is no sport in
this sort Of business. When fighting
ceases to be q sport, in the proper
meaning of the word, it becomes a
graft, and there is no reason Why PEG.
pie should defend a graft.
The fine writers at Reno gave the
people such an overdose of it that the
people are sick of prize rings and re-
ferees and abysmal brutes and the
whole boiling.
1t is claimed that Jefferies will in
sist upon meeting johnson again, and
if he does it may be hoped they will
fight it out in box stall in livery

sent to see that neither man uses an
axe. 4 scrap of that sort might re-
store public confidence in the game I"
