WHERE TRADE SHOULD BE soUosr


Mr.. VI. f. ingalls,, the %well-known rail.
way manager and n careful student
Of commercial conditions, thinks thai
more attention should be given by our
manufacturers and merchants to cul.
tiTating the trade Of South America
and the West Indies. He points out that
Europeans nave been insidiously and
actively annexing commercially those
countries by sending out their mer.
chants, their manufacturers and their
bankers, by loanlng money, by promot-
ing enterprises and by long credits.
This is a familiar fact TO those who have
given attention to the trade relations
of South America and the West Indies.
While American manufacturers and
merchants have been able to make little
progress in securing the trade Of the
Southern countries, those Of England,
Germany and France have steadily in
creased their with South
America. Germany has been especially
active in recent years in c~ultivatlng
this trade and with decided success,
while no opportunity to increase their
commercial relations in that quarter has
been neglected by British merchants
and manufacturers.
Mr.. ingalls, urges that for the pro-
motion of trade between the United
States and South America and the West
Indies there must be greater facility Of
communication, an improved system Of
transportation. In other words, Amer
lean steamship lines must be estab-
llshed between our own and the ports
Of those countries that will insure
prompt communication. 1t is necessary
to show the people of South America,
he said, that It Is easier and cheaper
to visit the United States than England;
that their freight can be shipped with
greater dispatch and at a cheaper rate
and, above all, they must be shown
that there Is money enough In the u
try and machinery for using it to fur
nish them long credits upon good Sc
curity and at good rates of interest.
These suggestions have many times
beer made, but while their soundness
is admitted, they produce nc practical
effect. American merchandise continues
to be sent to South America principally
in foreign ships and by an indirect
route. exchanges are still made through
London and our merchants are not yet
disposed to meet those Of Europe in the
matter of long credits. Consequently
we do not get such share of the splen-
did trade of the southern continent as
we ought to have and we shall not get
1t so long as prevailing conditions con-
tinue. Pan-American conferences can
accomplish little If anything in this d.
rectlon. Valuable as they may be polit-
ically, they have but small influence
upon the practical question of trade.
The markets of South America and
the West Indies are large and growing.
The opportunities in them for American
merchants and manufacturers should be
at least as good as in the Orient. But
their attention at present is directed for
the most part to the far east and Euro
pean countries are absorbing the greater
part of the of the countries
south of us and steadily strengthening
themselves more firmly in its control.
This process of Commercial annexa-
ton should command more attention
in this country than 1t has received.

MUST FACE CHANGED CONDITIONS.

An alarm has been sounded through
the corridors Of the state capitol. The
contention raised before the supreme
court as to the validity of the pure food
law has also raised the question of the
constitutionality of the appointment Of
a deputy labor commissioner, deputy oil
inspectors, deputy fish commissioners
and other appointees of the governor
not enumerated among the officers Gre
ated or contemplated by the constitu-
ton.
Two years ago the supreme court
wiped out the State Board of Transpor.
tatlon, whose members held commissions
as secretaries of three state officers. In
making this decision the supreme court
declared that the creation of offices not
expressly enumerated in the organic
law of the state was unconstitutional
because you cannot do by %indlrection
what is prohibited directly. If this doc
trine is carried to it's logical conclusion
the supreme court is liable to wipe out
all of the other d~eputyships and inspect
orships which successive legislatures
have created within the past twenty
years.
Such a decision would only emphasize
the imperative need Of constitutional re-
vision and bring the state face to face
with the most vital issue that now con-
fronts it. The constitution OF 1875,
which was cut out for Nebraska when

According to a letter to the Chicago
chronicle, Secretary Shaw is "a source OF
never-ceasing wonder to Washington ON
cials. His brisk. positive method Of deal
ing with matters that come under his off,
cial Jurisdiction is so different from that
OF his immediate predecessor. He has
established new records for his successors
All traditions that have heretofore gov
erned In the office Of the secretary have
been carefully dismissed by the energetic
and determined 1owan. He has developed
an originality that is as astounding as Il is
refreshing.
When matters Of business relating to his
department are brought to his attention he
deals with them direct, and always de-
cisively. Thus when several thousand Amer
lean women petitioned for a revision of the
personal baggage law so that they would no
longer be subjected to humiliation and in
suits the secretary did not pass the COM
plant on to subordlnates who are intrusted
with the execution Of that particular law.
Instead he went over TO New York and per-
sonally visited the piers of two steamship
lines and saw the baggage inspectors at
work upon the trunks and bags of returning
travellers. He saw enough to become con-
vinced that the regulations governing this
particular feature OF the customs laws must
be radically revised.
HE has personally inspected the entire
customs service at the port OF New York
for the purpose of acquainting himself with
all of it's multifarious details. He has e.
tablished intimate relations with nearly
every bureau of the Treasury department
so that he may become familiar with their
operations. The secretary has evinced a
capacity for work which IL simply phenom-
