LAUNDERING A DIRTY JOINT.
An inscrutable providence so constructed’ the writer of
these lines that he is unable to arouse beneath his sternum the
least feeling of regretful emotion over the destruction by flood
of the race track at Tio Juana, Mexico, though the loss is said
to be $200,000. Every meet that has been held there has cost
a lot of suckers probably a larger amount than that.
Tia Juana was one of the very dirtiest little joints on the
western hemisphere, and the Lord’s essay at laundering it is
wholly commendable, even though it has to be dissolved and
carried away in nature’s sewers.
It made a big business of being tough. Its mission on
earth was to collect handsome fees from persons who desired
to look upon open-faced vice, and there wasn’t a crooked game
known to the artifice of man that wasn’t in operation there.

A TEUTONIC PROTEST.
Incensed at President W ilson’s recent message to Con
gross, in which it is alleged he insulted a large and loyal class
of American citizens, the Sangerbund of Baltimore lias dis
patched to the President a sharp protest, in which the executive
is called to task for denouncing a class for the sins of a few
zealots.
It is the old story of dog Tray, or the half dozen rotten ap
ples in a cellarful of good ones.
Certainly it must he recognized as a fact that the great
majority of American citizens of Teutonic origin are true to
the flag that waves above them. And they should not be
blamed for the fanatical acts of a few. But their duty extends
to th(> repression of the few wherever it lies within their power
to repress.
Th<> situation at this moment demands that all who enjoy
the liberties which the Starry Flag guarantees shall do their
utmost to sustain that flag in its high place, unsullied.

“MISBRANDING ACT.’’
Every kind of a misbranded article will be barred out of
interstate commerce if a bill passes Congress which was intro
duced from the committee on interstate and foreign commerce
by Representative A. W . Barkley, of Kentucky. It is known as
the pure fabrics bill, and its scope is enormously wide and im
portant. It represents the results of long deliberation and in
vestigations by a sub—committee, of which Representative
Barkley is the chairman.
ruder its provisions the sending of any kind of a mis
branded article from one state to another is penalized. A mis
branded watch, a misbranded suit of clothes, a misbranded pair
of shoes, any kind of misbranded merchandise, will get some
body into trouble.
Representative Barkley prefers to call his measure “the
misbranding act,” and concerning it he said:
“The United States is practically the only great nation
which has no law upon its statute books to prevent the mis
branding <>! articles ot general commerce. It is true that]
Congress in 1 ?)()(» passed tin* ‘pure food and drugs’ act, and in]
HMD passed an act to prevent the adulteration and misbrand
ing of insecticides, but these acts are limited to the subjects
expressly treated in them and do not cover tin* great bulk of
articles that enter into commerce and trade of the whole nation.
Great Britain passed an act in 1H87 preventing and punishing
the practice of frauds in the branding and labeling of articles j
entering commerce, and the Dominion of Canada passed similar j
legislation a few years ago. It is hoped that this bill will be—
come a law, and if it does, it will be possible to punish and pre
vent the fraudulent and deceptive labeling, marketing, brand
ing and advertising that constantly induces people to purchase
articles that are not as represented.”
‘I thank God there is no man in the Tinted States who has
authority to bring on war,” said President Wilson. At whose
precious head, do you guess, was that dorniok heaved?
-:o:
iloeve in German means seagull, and it’s just the name for
that German rover of the seas. The ‘‘seagull” is a new vessel,
built for great speed, and it is likely the world will hear from
her again.
A Berlin surgeon has been paid $30,000 for operating on
the sultan. We are curious to know what he found inside the
sultan. The fee indicates that it may have been a submarine
mine.
-:o:
In the general scheme of things by the government the
fact that Cordova is an important center is being overlooked.
But all of the rest of the world seems to know that it is the one
prosperous town in the territory whose future is assured. m
