SATURDAY. MAY 4, 11107.
THE TREASURY OUTLOOK.
Headlines in tho newspapers an?
nouncing that "Congress spent $920,- 1
000,00(1" at Us lust, session may lead
the unthinking to wonder how tho
country Is going lo worry along next
year, since the Treasury's Income is
est hunted at only about 1060,000,000,
or authorized real drafts for that
amount on the Treasury, there would
ho (langer of Secretary Cortelyou's
heilig examined In supplementary
proceedings. Tho total of the appro?
priations committees of the House
and Solmtu at this record breaking
figure. But. many ot tho expendi?
tures, fortunately, aru of the con?
structive variety. - For instance,. $212,
OOO.Ono Is credited to postal expendi?
tures. But all, or nearly all, of this
conies hack in postal revenues, and
the Treasury has to meet only the
posHlblp margin of loss on the year's
transactions. - Again; the sinking ftiTui
contribution o"f-$r.7;ooo.0e0, has nlre.iil;
been paid and should U? deducted.
Another merely technical appropria?
tion of 120,000,000, for the redemption
? of national bank notes, Is.counted us'
. Hit expenditure, though the ainouiU
spent' Ik- Immediately .made good b\
?the fuvtlouul hunks./- '? ;f ? |
The Ti/asttry ,wjjl ^iiivj^;to',tueet utv
'/tur\l j drafts next; year . aiiuninllug tj?
perhaps $UUb,000;000. This year's In?
come, with two mouths to spare. Is
1540.000,000. For the full twelve
months It will be at least $G45,00O.OOO
und next year's income will bo even
larger- There Is already a surplus for
l!ior,-'(?7 or $50,000,000. The surplus
for I!ifi7-'0S ought to reach at least
$;to,(i00,ono. Tho Treasury suffered
for several years front imdorcollcc
tlons and excessive outlay. But rap
Idly increasing Imports and the steady
expansion of domestic business end?
ed the stringency. Treasury receipts
now easily keep pace with the enlarg?
ed needs of the national government
and (lie general march of national
progress.
NOW IT 18 KETCHUP AND JAM.
All former controversies over "pure
food" promise lo ho eclipsed by tho
one scheduled in connection with tho
use of chemical preservatives In pick?
les, ketchup, Jams, preserves and
other table delicacies. For a long
time the attention of pure food ex?
perts has been devoted to the whis
key question which was settled by
the famous decision that what Is whis?
key Is whiskey and what is not?is
something else. That principally af?
fected the male population. Now a
problem confronts tho National Food
Commission, which is likely to get
Mieni into hot water, for It intimately
concerns the household and tho ta?
ble. Let them beware of the wrath
of tho energetic and devoted house?
wife. All other forms of vengeance
pale by comparison. Politicians may
flutter themselves that In tardily
enacting a pure food law they have
evidenced their manhood and re?
sponded to the protecting Instinct.
Nothing of the kind. It was Mrs. A.
or Mrs. B. who aroused their somno?
lent spouscB to action. Having Bot?
tled the leading question of "What is
Whlskcyi" we arc now turning to a
scarcely secondary consideration of
the use of preset1 vatlvoalu foods eu
teiiug Into Interstate commerce. Somo
years ugo, when tlio agitation for ti
national pure food law was yet in Its
Infancy, certain unscrupulous canning
und preserving factories explained
why It was essential Unit benzoato of
soda should, ho used In the manufac?
ture of ketchup, why It was necessary
to put hay Beed in "pure raspberry
Jam"; why Jellies should Do composed
of glucose, flavored by coal tar ex?
tract. Later, arguments were pre?
sented to the House and Senate com?
mittees to prove that Congressional
action looking toward purity in food
would deprive the "poor working
man" ot table uollcaclcs to which bo
vits accustomed, but which his limit?
ed purse would not permit him to
purchase unless adulterated. Dr. Wl
ley, the chemist so closely associated
with pure food agitation, confessed
his Inability to understand why to?
matoes, plchJds, preserves, ketchup,
etc., could not be manufactured com?
mercially according to tho formulae
employed by our mothers and grand*I
mothers. Although not commercial-,
ly Inclined, they put up stuff to last'
and nobody blessed with such a pro?
vider, falls to remember tho stolen
hours in the Jain closet?nor the pain I
Htihseipicnt tu discovery.
LAWS FOR WIFE PROTECTION.
The rights of wives nnd mothers lo1
protection from the Inhumanity or
those to whom they, theoretically tit
least, look for support and shelter
from the Ills of life, are recognized
morn and more every day, not only
by Indlvhtdals, hut by -Cno authorities
and by thu law-making bodies. The
constituted authorities and the pow?
ers that control owe [protection to the
defenseless, and nbmit the mus> de?
fenseless persons lu the world uro
thu wives and" offspring of men who
seek to shirk duty and responsibility
by deserting them.
In Maine the legislature recently
in session enacted a severe law In
this relation. It provides that any |
alXo-ubdled man who refuses or ne-i
gleets to support his family, or falls j
to try lo do so, may be prosecuted
before certain courts, and upon con?
viction may be fined or Imprisoned at
hard labor, In the discretion of the I
court. Where the fine Is imposed |
tho court may In lln discretion cause
half (he amount to be paid lo the lam- |
lly. Whcro Imprisonment Is lmpos-i
od, the county commissioners shall
pay to tho family 5U cents a day for
every day ot tho term for which tho,
offender Is sentenced. One arrest
and one sentence shall be no bur to'
successive ami repeated punishments
for continuance of lion support. Thu
court Is made the sole judge, of ti
man's ability to support his family.
Indiana also hu? a new law, which
htyi Just taken effect. It makes wife
ilesorllou -felony, punishable by Im?
prisonment and tine, mid provides
methods of procedure. These and oth?
er lawn meet a? growing evil, espec?
ially In the large cities. It is an easy
mutter for a. man. when . family obli?
gations grow biirdoifsotne, to wall;
off, . leaylng the. wife to bear them.'

make themselves believe that It Is
best for all concerned for them to
run away. They will think twice be?
