Figures of the American foreign
trade show that this country continues
to neglect the opportunities presented
for trade expansion in South America.
While our commerce with the countries
of Europe and Asia has increased from
80 to $50 per cent. i'm the past decade.
our trade with South America has in
creased only 12h per cent. 1t is posi-
BILE that the construction of the Pana-
ma canal will improve this condition of
things. but American merchants and
manufacturers should be alive to their
opportunities and not allow themselves
to be beaten in South America by their
European competitors.

The Brooks Must be Protected.

Complaints are coming in that Tie
brooks tributary to Cobbosseecontee
lake are being persistently fished in
defiance of the laws protecting them,
and there is a growing suspicion that
this fact may have an important b ar
ing on the failure to secure first-c;ass
trout fishing in the lake ITSELF Parties
hu are selfish enough to disregard the
plain rights of the public by invading
in defiance of law, the natural spawn
ing places of the trout which supply
the lake, catching them from the
brooks before they have had time to
attain the growth that would make
deserves scant consideration from the
community, 1t is no wonder that the
public Indignation against such fellows
has reached point where the talk OF
forming a protective association in or
der to preserve good fishing to Cnbbo3-
scecontec lake is beginning to assume
something like definite shape. Any
person caught violating the law by
fishing these spawning brooks should
be summarily dealth with and thor
Oushly advertised. The general public
has some very de.inlla and ;mrortant
rights i'm this matter and should be
protected in them. One or TWO tX-
amples might serve to remind certain
parties that it is neither wis" nor safe
to wantonly disregard such rights.
People who live near the brooks can do
the public Il real service by promptly
reporting to the chairman of the fish
and game commission any violation of
the law that may come under their cb-
servatiOn.
If VIC are to have first-class fishing in
Cobbosseecontce lake, the brooks must
be protected.

An interesting bit of news from the
East is that which announces the
Mikado as being engaged on the for
nation of d religion ION Christian
ines" TO be promulgated as the Off
cial and the state religion of the en-
pirc. The news, however, leaves much
TO be desired in the way of details, for
it is silent as to where the lines will
leave the ancient religion of the en-
pire and where the lines of Christianity
will begin. One would suppose thai
MS little controversy with the Gar
"ould keep the Mikado too busy for
any such diversion as the making of a
state religion to order. Japan has been
very tolerant i'll religious matters and
is good field for Christian missionary
work, but in its progress it will be wise
to follow the American example of an
absolute separation of church and state
rather than to attempt to keep the two
united.
