Make the Wife Deserters Work.

1t is to be hoped the Board of Aldermen VIII
take favorable action on the Folks ordinance de
signed to afford some Of relief for families
Of husbands committed to the workhouse for aban-
donment, which is to come up for passage today
This ordinance may not meet the situation com
pletey, but at least it is praiseworthy attempt
to meet it and the best one suggested up to date
As things are now, the mother Of family may
have her husband arraigned in the Domestic Rea-
tions Court If he fail to support her and the chill
dren. But If he would rather 90 to Jail than care
for them, as many do, the court must sentence
him to q workhouse term and the family Is no
better off. The ordinance will permit the Commits
sioner Of Correction to put the prisoner at work
and credit him with 80 cents day for his services,
the money to be paid over to the family. Thus the
city would get something out of the man in the
way Of provision for a family which otherwise
might become wholly charge on the public.
Washington and Detroit have tried this system
with success The commissioners of Charities and
Correction most of the city magistrates and various
charitable organizations favor 1t. 1t is distinctly
worth trying.

The regulations of the liquor traffic are

Is not intended to foster and encourage
the drinking OF liquor. or to increase
inebriety and intemperance: rather the
reverse OF this. The liquor business Will
never be less restricted by law than 1t

less. But what we have should be en-
forced to the letter. II they were en-

this abuse year after year. II there are

CALLS 1T A CORNER IN EGGS
Supporter of Mrs. Heath Has Some
thing to Say About New York Traders.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What fair-minded, honest citizen
for a moment doubts the plain statement
OF fact which Mrs. Heath so courageously
and effectively sets up?
Hundreds of millions OF eggs, bought
last spring by traders, cost them 20 cents
a dozen. Those millions of eggs are now
needed by the public, but instead of being
put on the market they are determinedly
held out and sophistic declarations made
by and for these traders to the end and
purpose that the public shall pay two or
three hundred thousand dollars bonus to
those who arrange to keep these eggs
half frozen during the last six months.
Incidentally. II may be remarked that
your correspondent +. Borland should
have submitted his curiosity OF science
to the New York Mercantile Exchange
people before sending 1t for publication
In The Tribune He says: THE sea air
Is found to be very injurious to eggs, and
the quality will be poor and very un-
healthy" This relating to eggs brought,
say. from Holland or France, should be
of use to the publicity committee Of the
exchange, which pipes such an odd tune
as that in this mornings papep played to
bamboozle the public-played In support
Of the outrageous intention of New York
traders to reap so per cent net profit on
food the people need. In spite of the fact
that the transaction involved is Of such
magnitude that 10 per cent should amply
satisfy honesty and would not-could not
be exceeded were the public awake to the
fact that what here prevails is In its

Cheering sight 10 see" For American
investors In Mexican lands. mines rail-

entire coniscation OF real estate held by

latest example. From the standpoint Of
American ethics Mexico has as much
right to work out her own destiny In her

right to resent interference with indigna-
