National attention has been arrested
by the proposition of Representative
Victor Murdoch of Kansas to label
fabrics with certificate of their com
position in a manner similar to that
in which food is now labeled under the
pure food law. 1t is clearly within the
power of the Congress to enact such a
law and no reason exists to bar the
| passage of such measure, save the
opposition of the interests controlling
the manufacture of fabrics The re-
form is n wise one and is due TO the
people who have right to know what
| they are buying. The principle of let
the buyer beware" is as inapplicable to
what the buyer wears as to what lie
eats.
The Chicago Tribune has received a
very interesting letter from Wesley
Aspinwall, of Danville. Illinois, in re-
gard to the question of wooden fabrics
In this letter lie says tliat he has been
employed in wooden mills since he was
s years old, and that as a result of his
own experience and observation he
can truthfully brand the manufacture
of wooden goods as zone of the most
gigantic swindlcs ever perpetrated on
the people since the civil War" After
the War Between the States, he says,
there were hundreds of wooden mills in
the Central and Western States, but
they are now extinct because they were
unable TO compete with the Eastern
mills and their shoddy product Mr.
Aspinwall has been employed in mills
that manufacture Kentucky jeans for
.fning 80 per cent. shoddy and so per
cent cotton wove In on cotton warp,
and in mills that made wool knitting
yarn out of so to so per cent. shoddy
Linewise, he has been in mills that
made the filling all shoddy and it was
woven in on cotton warp. These goods
were completed and sent TO a print min
and printed ana striped to Initiate
WOODEN goods These goods were then
male into realymade clothing II was
employed in large blanket mill which
manufactured all WOOL blankets and
there was not pound of wool ever
came into the mill. have only been
employed in two mills since 1870 that
worked up all pure WOOL" concludes
Mr.. Aspinwall
If the Government care TO, it can
ind sufficient evidence to convince the
Congress that much deceit is practlsed
in the sale of "al wooden" clothtngs
and fabrics of various sorts. There
ought TO be drastic law on the sub
ject, risidly requiring fabrics to be
labeled so as TO indicate their true
composition.

NEVER bet WITH Your WIFE.

Should debts of honor be paid? ~
is the question we have been asked
by very lovely woman TO answer in
this place. They should, specially
when the husband owes them to his
wife. An MISUNDERSTANDING lawyer
would probably say that the husband
would be discharging the debt by
keeping the money himself as hus-
band and wife are one and indlvisible,
what's hers being his, That would he
a very mean way to get out of it;
but we have all known husbands who
were mean enough to resort to almost
any subterfuge, lighting at close
quarters.
We can conceive of mitigating cir
eumstances in the case submitted to
our impartial Judgment which we
might be willing to consider upon a
fair division of the amount involved.
If, in fact, II be worth While dividing:
but speaking wholly without hope Of
reward and upon the apparent merits

of the opinion that he should paw the
fun amount, with interest compounded
every quarter. Treating the matter
from the ethical rather than the legal
point of view, we must agree with
the position taken by The Catholic
Encyclopedia" volume ". page 66s.
and consider debts OF honour as true.
debts, though they cannot be enforced
in the civil court"
There are several important lessons
TO be drawn from this case, the most
important of which is that a man
should never bet with his wife even
lof iun," and when he loses he should
never plead so vain an excuse, in the
iifst place, because, II in the course

little game with his fellows. he m|aht

business on them with unpleasant per-
sonal consequences. We do not know
All the facts in connection with this

Estrada, became alarmed az the lack OF
information as to his family, who are in
Managua. He feared they had been i'm
prisoned or otherwise annoyed by the
Madriz government because OF his ac-
tIvity In the revolutionary movement. and
asked the State Department to instruct
Henry Caldera. American vice consul at
Managua to ascertain their status for
him.
The department was also informed that
three officers of the Marine Corps who
visited Grenada recently were enthu-
siastically received at a banquet at Man
