in brief, buys three times much from
South America as the latter buys from this
country
This state of affairs is due to the per-
sistent and successful effort made by Euro
peans in exploiting South American trade.
The Germans and English particularly
have pushed their commercial relations
with our South American neighbors until
they practically control the field. United
States trade with the countries TO the south
of us Is insignificant compared with our
the strange feature of the case is that
South America buys almost exclusively
manufactured products in which the
United States excels.
How long this field will remain uncuti-
waited is a problem, but IL is safe 10 say
that as the buying powers Of South Amer
lea expand-and they are growing from
year to year-the opportunity for profitable
commerce will be worked to the utmost ex-
tent by shrewd European merchants. In
cidentally European interest in South
American affairs will be Influenced largely
by the amount OF trade which the powers
transact there.
If the United States continues to neglect
or overlook the South American field We
may anticipate recurrence of the frictions
of the past. If, on the other hand. Ameri-
can trade begins 10 dominate the situation
the relations of the various nations so far
as South America is concerned Will undergo
a complete change. The growth of Ameri-
can trade will tend to eliminate the Mon
roe doctrine controversy, for the simple
reason that European interest In South
America is governed almost entirely by the
possibilities of a larger commerce. The
merchant marine and not the navies OF the
world will settle the question OF South
Americas future.

GIVEN A SECOND TERM
MRS. FAIRBANKS REELECTED
PRESIDENT GENERAL OF ID. A. n.
Action of the Congress Was Unani-
nous, the Nomination Being Sec
Onded by Mrs. Donald Mclean.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Cornelia
Cole Fairbanks, of Indiana, was unani-
mously reelected president general of the
Daughters of the American Revolution to-
day. The election of officers was the fea-
ture of to-day's session. There was less
excitement than usual over the result. in
Donald Mclean, of New York, that she
would not permit her name to be presented
as a candidate for president general, leav-
ing the field clear for Mrs. Fairbanks, the
present incumbent.
After the congress had formally accepted
the invitation of President Roosevelt to
reception Friday afternoon at the White
House, Mrs. Fairbanks yielded the chair
to Mrs. George NJ. Sternberg and nominal
tons were declared in order. Mrs. Charles
H Masury, of Massachusetts,, presented the
name of Mrs. Fairbanks for reelection.
The mention of the name was the signal
for an outburst of applause that echoed and
re-echoed throughout the hall. Mrs. Lip
petit, of Rhode Island, seconded the nomi-
nation and the speeches that followed were
a symposium of tributes to Mrs. Fairbanks
from a number of the State delegations.
Mrs. Lippittt also moved to make the
nomination unanimous. Mrs. Donald Nc

of Mrs. Fairbanks there was loud applause
and ringing huzzahs. After a number OF
delegates had given voice to their views
the nomination was declared unanimous by
a yea and nay vote.

The only feature in the protracted bust
ness Of making the nominations, which oc-
cupied the entire afternoon session, was
the nomination Of Mrs Eleanor Washing
ton Howard for reelection as recording
nomination Mrs. Morgan, of Georgia, and
others called attention to an amendment
to the constitution prohibiting national off,
GERS from serving more than two successive
terms in any national Office. After some
debate ii was decided that Mrs. Howard
was eligible. 1T was after O'Clock when
the congress took recess.
The congress spent the entire night ses-
sion in casting their ballots for the officers
until nearly midnight, after which adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow. The an
nouncement of the result will be made in
the morning.

the nations over which they fioated 1t is
always pleasant to learn of an incident of
this kind. as an assurance of existing
frfendliness and the improbability of a rup-
ture of that friendliness in the future. The
theater has ever been a place for the dis
semination of kindly sentiments, and 1t is
not forgotten that during our troubles with
Spain 1t was frequent custom to play
God Save the Queen between the acts
and to lower the intertwined English and
American flags during the performance.

SOUND, HEALTHY TALK.
Rights and Wrongs of Organized La
Dor and Organized Capital.

Dor and Organized Capital.
Detroit Free Press.
There is downright pleasure In reading
the speech made by Mr.. E. Z. Clark, of
Cedar Rapids, Ia, to the Twentieth Gen.
fury Club at Boston. He enunciated no
novel doctrine, promulgated no new and I'M
discovered principle of right, and half
century ago his statements would have
been dismissed as automatic. But mighty
revolution has been working since then
and there is such a tendency to merge the
individual right that it is endangered from
the forces of both capital and labor. Mr..
Clark represents the latter on the anthra-
cite coal strike commission. and his address
has an added Importance in consequence.
The clever retort Of the commissioner to
the memorable assumption of divine right
by President Baer has a value which loses
recalls the too often forgotten duty of
those who WELD great power toward those
whose conditions subordinate them. That
plain duty is in "elevating and improving
the condition Of mankind and in "encour-
aging order, industry, thrift and self-re-
spect." But even more noteworthy from
this source is his construction of the rights
of personal liberty bearing upon the
aggressions of organized labor.
The Individual striker may strike with his
fellows or remain at work No striker has
the rlght 10 use violence or lntlm1datlOn
against the man who elects to work No
striker has the right to destroy or inture the
property of his former employer IF or

ton without resorting to unlawful acts its
existence cannot be defended No employer
has right to blacklist any man who wants
to work and labor has legitimately kept
within his privileges, no matter how OBJ
noxious to organized labor any of it's
membership" There Is q whole economic
gospel in these propositions. When they
are accepted capital and labor will be

LARGE FAMILIES FASHIONABLE.

New York Letter.

New York Letter.
Over the signature of "a Fashionable
of the morning papers with some pertinent
comment on the charge that motherhood Is
no longer fashionable.
The writer finds the charge amusing to
many OF the fashionable world, who real
lie that II Is most questionable not to be
a mother, and that to be the mother of a
large family is rather a smart thing In
these days.
She asserts motherhood is distinctly fash
ionable and not only for the very upper
classes, If such exist in this country, but
for those who have not yet attained to the
top notch, but who wish to arrive there.
and who are clever enough to see that very
often by their children they may arrive at
the desired pinnacle.
Continuing she says: THE country
houses that are springing up all over have
nurseries and accommodations for six or
eight or ten children To be sure, many
OF these houses are being put up by COM
paratively recently married couples, but
who evidently intend to be prepared for any
contingency In the future, while in all the
mate there are numberless families where
there are six or eight children.
1T would seem as though all the peo-
ple-men women-who had seen fit to
come forth with the alarming statements
OF the dreaded decrease In American popu-
lation and the terrible crime of the women
were just few years behind the age.
There are of course many instances
among the fashionable people where large
families are not desired but is that not
partly because these young men and women
have seen much more of the conditions OF
life than did their parents.
The interest taken in fashionable work
that is. fashionable charities-has brought
to their notice (see the reports sent out
by the various hospitals) knowledge of
the great poverty that exists among the
poor, where children are born rapidly
and as unconcernedly as though they were
not human beings with a soul to be looked
after.
THE indiscriminate bringing of children
into the world is something to be treated
by any sensible and reasonable man or
woman as a serious question. But the man
or woman In fashionable society at the
present, moment who is not fond of his or
her children is never respected and il really
not quite accepted as being an equal.

LOCOMOTIVE CAPACITY.
Comparisons OF the Lifetime of En-
gfnes Here and I'm England.
New York Evening Post.


An expert on railway affairs has recently
said that on English railways IL had been
found most economical that locomotives
should go through the shops every two
years, and that there engines were built
with a view to longer service than in Amer
lea. 1t has only been the last two years
that American roads generally have taxed
the capacity of the locomotive manufac-
turers to the utmost, replenishing their
worn-out engines and providing new ones
to meet the demands of the increasing vol
nineties led many roads TO overtax their
motive power. Comparing the average life
time of an engine this expert says that one
English company had stated the average
lifetime of boiler on a basis of $50 900
miles TO be, passenger engines, nine years:
freight engines. fourteen years: switching
engines. seventeen years. and branch pas
senger engines, sixteen years.
He did not agree with this, claiming that
passenger express engines in England last
twenty-five years, freight twenty-six years
local passenger twenty-five years and
freight engines twenty-seven years. The
mileage of express engines from his data
varied from 10000 &c Loo, 900 miles freight
engines from 10000 to 500. 900 miles and To-
cal passenger engines from 100000 to 10000
miles. Comparing this with American ex-
perience. he claims that tn. aim of Ameri-
cans is to continue the life of a locomotive
fifteen wears, getting the utmost out of IL
during that time and then throwing IL on
the SCRAP heap II IL could not be sold TO
some smaller road. The average lifetime
OF engines on six American roads, as stated
in this connection, has been demonstrated
to be: Express engines. eighteen years;
freight ent'ines. sixteen years: local passen-
ger. nineteen years He finds under this
claim that all esQsSes OF American engines
