THE Bureau of Statistics reports that
the total expectations from the United
States to foreign countries during the
month of May amounted to $11O,239,-
2O6-or almost double the expectations
of 1890, and quite fifty per cent more
than for the corresponding month of
1897, which was unusually large. The
total expectations for the eleven months
ending May 81, 1898, were 81 49,, 1885,
6l9-Or $3.50, 0OO, 600 more than the ex-
portations of 1890 (same time), and
el5O, OOO, 600 more than for the CORES
ponding eleven months prior to May
81, 1897. The Seattle Times feels
called upon to offer some apologies for
this very satisfactory state of affairs, so
different from the conditions which
would exist if the financial and eco
nomic theories which it advocates
were in force as laws, and puts forth
the gaunt old excuse which its school
OF politics has Tabled famine abroad. ~
It knows we'll enough that there is no
such famine abroad" as there was q
year ago, and that foreign market con-
ditlons are not materially different, SO
far as they are affected by home sur
piv, from what they had been during
all the recent years of Democratic rule.
The enormous balance of trade in our
lavor-really the largest in our history
Ills proof conclusive that notwith-
standing the business depression con-
sequent upon the war, the country is
enjoying, under the sound economic
and financial policy of the Republican
party, far greater degree Of prosperity
than had existed before for years.

THURSDAY, JUNE 3Oth, 1928.

THE Lawson smuggling case has
naturally occasioned considerable COM
ment in this county and especially
among people somewhat familiar with
the circumstances and to whom the
young men engaged in the affair are
well known. Although there are few
who profess to believe that the two
Lawson hrothers who were arrested
last week are innocent of the ofense
charged, tileye are many who openly
svmpatt - 18th them and who mani
festyy do I.-b regard such violations OF
tb. law as in any sense matter OF
serious concern. 1t can hardly be
doubted that many good citizens, who
would quickly resent the least imputa-
ton that they are not law abiding and
law respecting, entertain this view. It
is much to be regretted that they do,
for even ifthey do not extend any ma
terial aid to known offenders, their in
fuence is unquestionably stimulus to
wrong-doing and hindrance Instead
of help to the officers who are sworn
to uphold and enforce the law. The
Lawson brothers are young men of
good standing, who own a fine farm
and one of the largest and best stocked
ranges in the county. And it happens,
too, that they have hundreds of sheep
whose value has been very greatly en-
harced by the very law which they
are believed to have violated, and at a
time when the nation is engaged in
war with foreign power and the gov
eminent is not only in need of every
dollar of revenue that it can get, but of
the strong moral support of all good
citizens. 1t is hardly likely that they
would rejoice to see the American mar
ket again open to the free importation
of wool from the vast ranges of Austria
liza and South America, as it v as under
the Wilson tariff law, when hundreds
of thousands Of sheep were sent to the
cities to be slaughtered because it did
not pay to keep them for their fieeces.
From our standpoint at least there is
no justification for their fragrant viola
ton Of law which in general is boon
to every farmer and has added very
greatly to the present and prospective
value of their personal property. The
situation and advantages of this county
are such that it Is scarcely surprising
that there is considerable temptation at
times to engage in this sort of business.
Those who allow themselves to yield to
it may perhaps reasonably argue that
their chances of success are good so
long as there is only one customs Off
cial regularly stationed in the county,
and one officer of the revenue service
Who is expected to cruise over a large
area and guard hundreds of miles
Of coast line. These officers, how
ever, may be relied upon to do their
full duty as they understand it, with
malice toward none," and enforce the
law strictly and justly so far as lies
within their power.

ment, had begun his systematic and
effective foreign work in illustrating
the cooking of corn. In the year end
ing June 30, 1897, the exports were
l76, 916, 1886 bushels, seven times as large
as nine years before. Already this
fiscal year we have exported 184, OOO,-
600 bushels, and it is likely zoo, 00O, 900
bushels will be the total for the year.

ONE of the features of the additional
tax of 81 per barrel upon beer is the
proof that the breweries are not SO pow
erful at the capitol as they have been
rated. They were justified, from a
business point of view, in fighting the
increase in every honorable way, but it
is encouraging to see that congress
could not be influenced to give up this
perfectly just taxation.

greater age then had ever been at
tanned by any British Minister
under the like circumstances But
Mr.. Gladstone at the time of his
resignation was only a few months
over eighty-four, says The New

now just over lightweight. He
must have established a record, "

A MAGNETIC ISLAND.

1t has been pretended, says the
Revue Scientifique, that when
ships approach mountains that con
tain masses Of magnetic iron, they
experience an attraction that they
find difficult to resist. A proof of
this has just been given, and that,
too, near the shores of Germany
Ciel ct Terre tells us that the we'll
known isle of Bornholm, situated
in the Baltic, and belonging to Den
mark, acts like a huge magnet.
Although the magnetic force of the
island is not SO great as to draw out
the nails from approaching ships,
as is told in the old stories of mag
netic mountains, nevertheless the
attraction possessed by the rocks OF
the islands has consequences that
are often disagreeable for ships that
pass near by. Especially does the
island exert such an influence on
the magnetic needle of the compass
that the course of the ship may be
considerably altered by it. This
effect is noticeable within a radius
of IS kilometers e miles) around
the island. The rocky reef situated
just beyond Bornholm has similar
magnetic properties. Translated

.A GREAT DOOR OPENING
HOPEFUL OUTLOOK FOR
MISSIONS.
Opportunity To Make Known the
Redeemer To Peoples Who Have
Not Heard the Gospel.

This is day of great events. A
mighty tide Of American life and
strength is suddenly pouring across
the Pacific into the Orient. 1t comes
from the nation which is foremost
among all in intelligence, in enter
prise, and in Christian light and ac-
tivity. That great tide is sweeping
through and beyond this western
outpost of Christendom, which for
over three fourths of a century, God
has cherished and cultivated into
high Christian statehood. Now is
Christian America coming into close
touch with the torpor and darkness
of the Orient. A great door and
efectual is being opened for Chris
tan enterprise to make the Redeem
er known to peoples who have
hitherto been shut out from the
true Gospel. 1t cannot be that
Christians in Hawaii have not i'm
portant parts to bear in that work.
May the Holy Spirit quicken and
inspire them to discern and use each
opportunity. In what shape the
opportunities will come we know
not. 1t is evident that ancient
barriers are being broken down
Hawaii's best present service is to
stand as a Christian community,
living under the power of Christian
morality, and shining as a bright
moral and spiritual lighthouse in
the fore front of Christendom. The
Friend.

TRUE STORY OF OTHELLO.

Rome.-A diary kept in 1912 by
the representative in Gambia of the
repuclic of Venice has just been
discovered in a Venetian convent.
1t is stated that the document con-
tains the whole history of Othello,
and completely contradicts the YER
sion given by Shakespeare. The
writer describes Othello's arrival in
Venice, his marriage and subse-
quent career and death, the latter
event occurring while Desdemona
was still alive, 1t may be, therefor,
that the palace in Venice pointed
out to the tourist as that occupied
by Desdemona is actually the one.
Still there is a doubt about it,

any ordinary difficulties that may be

in demanding $4,000 men for the first

would be cheerfully furnished il they
were required, is indicated, in the opin-

secure the necessary transports for the
remaining force were aggressively hur-

tackled the Spanish outposts Of Manila.
The Spaniards were found TO have
turned the guns OF their shore batteries
