The introduction of American dyes
into the south China field has been
much more extensive
Success than has been generally
n., realized, and on the whole
their success has been
quite marked, Consul General Ander-
son reports, and generally satisfac-
tory. Some of the colors offered have
not been uniform in lasting quality or
in shade. The only safe method to
follow in the Chinese trade, he ad-
vises. Is to secure samples of what is
wanted and manufacture to the sam
as to shade and uniform in quality
and at a fair price will find an almost
unlimited market. The volume of
trade in China is such as to justify
every effort to secure a permanent
foothold by Standardization Of the
goods offered.
There is another phase of the stand
ardization proposition on which warn
ing must be given to American manu-
facturers. They must protect them
selves against trade mark piracy such
as was practiced by Germany, especial
ly in the South American markets.
American industries must make their
goods known for standard quality,
and their trade marks will be recog-
nixed as evidence of superior quality.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce is fostering such world
market recognition for American
soods-but the manufacturer and ex-
porter must register trade marks

WHY NOT A REVISION 0F
 CIVIL AND PENAL CODES?

With the recent convention of the State Legislature, has been brought forcibly to mind the ut ter need of a complete revision of the state laws as embodied in the civil and penal codes and the many session laws of the several legislatures, since the last re- vision, 1913.
 The method has been to have a separate pamphlet printed each time for the reception of such laws as shall have been passed by the legislature or by referen- dunn vote and in some instances a booklet has been published containing only half dozen pages and at present, a person searching out the law pertaining to a certain subject, has to not only go fully into the provisions of the original laws, but has to search through all of the session law pamphlets issued since, to ascertain everything bearing up on the subject.
 As slight suggestion of the amount of unnecessary work caused, we call attention to the prohibition amendment, which has been enacted into law no less than three times, the final act repeating the others, but so far, not removing this dead timber from the statutes.
 This is but a single instance of dozens which has burdened the state law books with page upon page of. useless statutes and it does not take legal mind to see the great necessity of general revision.
 The older states have adopted method of creating full and completely indexed set of codes from a certain date of revision, and thereafter the laws of the first legislature are published in a session law pamphlet. Upon the convention of the second legislature, their enactments are published in single volume combined with the first, thereby eliminating one volume. This is the method followed; each years laws being incorporated with those of the former until such time as the governor sees fit to have the entire code re- vised and republished.
 With such a system in vogue with us, it is plain that we can then dispense with large part of useless library and we are sure that none who have to do with the working of the law will complain.

IF THE Armenian and Syrian Relief Campaign is failure in the Southwest this might possibly be ofered The people not told all the facts regarding the sufferngs of the Armenans Syrians, and Per- sans at the hands of the Turks.
 The truth of the matter is, book or newspaper would be debarred from the United States mais if it undertook to publish the whole story of Turkish atro cities in the Near East
