A POSSIBLE COMMERCIAL CON-
FLICT

| Recently manifestations have APP
peared in Europe of an apprehension
that the mastery which the nations OF
that continent have held in the CONNER
cial world is seriously endangered by the
commercial growth OF nations in other
continents. Expressions now and then
made by individuals, commercial bodies
and the press show that the people over
there are keeping themselves informed
of the development of adverse condi-
tions, and are watching events with
some degree of solicitude. Count Golu-
chowski, the Austro- Hungarian minis
ter of foreign affairs. has sounded the
tocsin of war and urged all the nations
competition.
To deprive European nations Of a
monopoly of the worlds commerce
would to them be serious. Population
is so great in that continent that to sup
port it would be difficult without draw
ing from the resources of other coun-
tries. Notwithstanding the fact that
Europeans have drawn sustenance and
wealth from the Americas, Asia. Africa
and the islands in the sea for more than
three centuries, they have found it con-
venient and necessary to permit and
encourage the large emigration of their
people to other lands to relieve them
selves from the evil consequences of
over crowded population. Confined to
their own resources the wealth of those
nations would rapidly disappear and
their positions in the political world
would speedily become secondary.
The greatest fear of interference with
their trade is from this country, though
Japanese trade is fast growing to pro-
portions of Importance. Commercial
growth in Mexico and other American
states will be given impetus by our own
growth. Common sympathy will natur
ally lead to mutuality and reciprocity
in trade between the countries of the
western hemisphere. European nations
are not oblivious of this and hence they
nave SOOu SiOuHb All utiCdSiiSsS' iS
day is not distant when European cap
ital will not have the omnipotence that
it has boasted in the past.
The mistake this country has made,
and especially within the last few
years, has been in putting itself into the
hands of European financiers, in not
having a financial policy of it's own, and
one adapted to it's own conditions and
interests. Knowing how much they
must depend upon the outside world,
European nations have induced this
country to adopt policies for their ben
eft, such as would aid their industries
and commerce, and pour wealth into
their laps. Despite our struggles under
European trammels we have progressed
amazingly. Europeans comprehend
better than we seem to that. if we break
loose from the load which the endorse
ment of their policies has imposed upon
us, they will be deprived of the wealth
which they are acquiring from CONNER
cial supremacy, and that the United
States, by leaps and bounds, will ad-
vance to the first position.

AN OPENING FOB JUSTICE

Another day has gone by and the
board of education scandal looks still
backer. This was, from the nature of
things, to be expected. 1t is gratifying
however to note the improvement in the
prospects for justice since the board of
education as a whole began to conduct
the investigation.
Professor Bonebrake appeared before
the board Tuesday evening and corrob-
Grated and repeated to the closest detail
the startling disclosures made by him in
the interview printed in Tuesdays Her
aid. 1t hardly seems possible that the
charges made by him can be refuted.
Only beginning has been made, how
ever. From present and pending devel-
opments, the net of justice must spread
wider and go deeper. The community
will demand that nothing shall be held
back.

Reflections of a Bachelor

A woman's willingness is often her
best protector.
What worries most girls is just how
far a man will let them go without get
ting scared.
No girl knows how much she thinks of
a man till she begins to wonder how
much he thinks of her.
Hairpins are used principally to cut
the leaves of new magazines and to but
ton up kid gloves with.
If there is anything that makes man
mad it is woman that leaves out all
the pronouns when she writes to him.
The only reason why an old bachelor
doesn't know how to sew on his buttons
is because he can always afford to hire
some woman to do it for him.
