COMMERCIAL EDUCATION

| The expansion of the Uoited States
into the tropics has given q new i'm
portance to the question of commercial
education. 1t ir dicates that we are on
| the eve of important changes in both
the political and commercial world,
and also that the struggle for the con-
troll OF new markets Is becoming sharp.
The tropics are the only regions whose
products are not well developed, and in
which competition has not reduced the
margin of profits towaId the vanishing
point.
1t Is true of the tropics, moro than of
any other part OF the world: that its
trade depends upon a knowledge OF the
conditions of LIE and of the habits of
Immediate change. The rest OF the
world is so closely united that articles
Ia demand In one land are likely to be
desirable in all. This is not true of
the tropics or of the orient. Their
long isolation from the rest OF the
world and their ancient and un-
changing forms OF society have fixed
the needs of life within certain lines,
causing successful trade to depend up
on exact knowledge of local habits.
As a consequence, there Ia need not
only of a thorough understanding of
the laws of trade and of the ways of
doing business which are of universal
application, but slso of that particular
aud technical knowledge which will
enable merchant to undertake par
ticular lines of trade with special
countries, without liability Of destruot-
i've mistake. This need, which the re-
cent exploitation of tropical lands for
com mercisl purposes has only served to
emphasize, has for half century been
recognized in European countries,
which found themselves distanced in
commercial pursuits, or called upon by
the exigencies of their national life to
enter upon new ways. 1t has resulted
in the planting Of certain schools for
commercial education of the higher
grade. which have already become dis
tinguished, and In the establishing of
some systems of com mercial education.
which are new and important.
The movement has so far attract
ed attention in this country that the
universities of Penn.ylvsnis. Cslifor-
MIA, and Chicago, as well as Colum oia
University, have iuaugursted or an
nounced special courses OF instruction
IN this direction, but it has gained SO
little genuine recognition, that even
these courses seem TO be established
rather for the benefit of the local insti-
tuition than because Of any conviction
on the part of the principals in the
that the need is permanent
one.

THE RACE PROBLEM.

Attention has already been called b,
the HERALD to the coming conference
for the discussion of race problems IN
relation to the welfare of the south
The time is the second week of May
this year: the place Is Montgomery
the fret capital Of the oontederacy, d
city situated on the edge OF the black
belt and at "the very center of that
area in the south where all the condi-
tions of the race problem are present
In their characteristic forms"
The conference will begin on Tues.
day, May 8, and close on Thursday,
May 10. It's promoters expl iin that it
is intended to hold like conference
next year, and the year after that, aad
so on annually as long as seems ad-
visable. Their idea Is that the
southern whites know the southern
blacks much better than the northern
whites do, that right solutions are of
vastly greater Importance to them,
that In any case they must work these
out for themselves, and that It's high
time they buckled seriously to the
task.
Hence the value OF such free plas-
form as it Is intended to create at
Montgomery for the uttersuce of al
honestly held opinions hswever
diverse and clashing, on such points as
the negro in the electorate, the negro
as a labOrer, the kind OF education that
IL best for him, his religious condition
l.
the south, his present relation to the
social order, the results to date of the
talk about social eQu .lity, the effec.
Mveness of lynching as deterrent
from crime, etc. The promoters
frankly admit that they are DOT them
selves of one mind on these points, and
have no expectation that the speak
ers at the conference will be. They
say:
We believe in discussion. Through
the conflict OF opinions and the cour-
tsous expression of honest differences,
we believe that We shall advance the
education of the public mind, forth
and south. II most of the debates re-
volve about the negro, It is not because
we are solely bent upon his especial
welfare. Our interest is primarily
enlisted for the people of the south as
q whole. We are concerned in the
broadcast sense for the prosperity and
happiness of our southern country.
We shsll not forget the neglected ele-
ments of our white population " We
expect TO find southern speakers who
may ably and fully and fairly
give due representation to all
sides OF ths great questions which
are demanding solution at our hands.
In order to' give general distinction to
the gathering a few speakers repre-
sentative OF the broader and more SYM
pathetic phases OF northern thought
will be asked to be present as our
guests. By giving q just opportunity
to the opposing advocates in each |
debate we shall hope to aid in the |

CHENEY. Def. N.--The eighth annual

response by Prof. W. J. Spillman, OF Pull

President H. L. Blapchard. of chimacum.
gave the annual address.
Prof. Spilman introduced resolutions on
the Circuit bill In substance as follows:
We. the dairymen OF the state of Wash
ington, In convention assembled. desire 70
express our appreciation Of the services
OF our representatives in congress In se-
curing the passage OF the Grout bill
1--WE desire 10 call the attention Of our
United States senators to the fraudulent

plea " that the dairymcn are trying TO
prevent the poor man from buying. a
fneta ars tbai eoT rom
firet has been sold as butter and at better
prices The Grout bill would enable
those who desire to purchase cheap
substitute for butter TO do so at reason
I'VE would also call attention to the ef-
forts OF the olecmargarine people TO en-
~ representing that the CIRCUIT bill would
decrease the value Of fat cattle In this
country ~ to g per head, a net decrease
Of $55000.000 to SIS ,000 ,000 while the total
value of the oleomargartne sold in this
country last year was only 9,s30, 900.
Such representations are IN keeping with
the general fraudulent character of the
0ieOInargarine business.
"We would cJll the attention of oleomar-
ghrine people to the old adage they seer1
not to have learned, that honesty r. the
best policy. Had they always sold their
product on its merits they would no.
today be confronted with troubles OF their
own making.
Tin view or the fact that the dairy In

believe II Is the duty of our national law
makers TO protect us against fraud ana

ready have laws against the sale OF cleo

but state laws are easily cvadad.
I'VE therefore earnestly urge upon our
senators the necessity for using every
