Capt. John Rost, the physician who

was the smallest yet shown, the exports
at 500, 557 600 showing gain relatively,
sag ainst imports, the highest recorded. Of
s$23 1913, ooo.s
The bad export year, 1908, when the
figures fell; off by about seven million
dollars, did not affect imports at all,
which even gained $l,O00,O0O that year.
Our loss was due principally to unset
tied conditions in our own textile in
dustry, following extremely high prices
for cotton, and in some degree, tho in
no such great part, to troubles in China.
We sell China enormous quantities of
cotton cloths, the business in September
last running to 44,247,000 yards, and in
October to 43,343,O0O yards.
Raw silk and tea are among principal
items of import. e
Today we are, in better shape than
ever to 90 after the China trade.
There is a great awakening coming some
time, that will turn north China into a
producing country. We ought to sell
millions Of dollars worth Of machinery,
and to furnish the materials for mills
and railroads, and electrical improves
ments, and the numerous other things
that will be needed. -

AT THE THEATERS
Metropolltan-"A Chinese Honeymoon u


There was a moral, rather tenuous, to
be cleaned from "A Chinese Honeymoon
last night, which could be taken away by
the audience" Never allow any one to
snap your picture when you are stealing
kiss. The moral was also the motif
and If the audience did not care particu-
larly for the idea, there was little else
to take away, except a memory Of tuneful
music, which has, proved it's popularity
in Minneapolis on several other occa sions.
The scenery is bright. gorgeous and
pleasing, being a series of imaginative
glimpses Of pagodas, temples and broad
rivers that may possibly exist somewhere
in the f1owery kingdom. Time has some
what dimrned the costumes, which may
or may not be mandarin robes. Realism,
however, has little to do with comic opera.
But pretty faces, graceful dances and
well-trained voices have, and these essen
tials were almost entirely lacking. The
clever lines, which ought to be irresistibly
funny, too often fall fiat and the actors
seem to take it as matter Of course that
they should. The dances, instead of be-
ing executed with a dash that makes 4
house hold it's breath, resemble sde-step
exercises, which must be completed in
given time. Soo-Soo, the Emperor Hang
Chow's niece, pleased every one when she
sang, but was very reluctant about sing
ing. The other voices were hardly more
than mediocre. ! "a Il z,
Joseph T.. Miller, as Chippee Chop, the
lord chancellor was hit and when there
was nothing else to look at, his wonderful
makeup sufficed. George Broderick,- the
enperor,zEis large in person. but rather
diminutive in voice, but makes distin-
guished-looking ruler ri Fl, the wait
ress, really evokes several hearty laughs.

Our Trade With China.

The extent of our business with
China, and possibilities for it's expan-
sion, are considerations sure to work
more to the front in the field Of for
eign trade, now that the new trans
Pacific service is to be inaugurated by
the sailing Of the great steamer Min
nesota from Puget sound today.
That we are going after the China
trade i'll manner to insure success
seems certain. There is room for the
greatest increase in it's volume, and
good gains should be shown in the next
year or two, unless war or internal dis
ruption in China shall prevent.
In 1894 we sold China merchandise
amounting only to $4,4O6,O0O. Eight
years later, or by 1902, this had risen
Ito $2O,090,000. The next year it fell
off sharply to $13,311, 900. Last year
it rose again to $2O,557 1000, the record
figures.
We have always bought more from
China than we sold to her, and in 1894,
while sending her the $4,4O6, 1000 worth,
we imported goods to the value of $I5,-
357, 900. Our exports have grown
steadily upon our imports until, last
year. the excess Of purchases over sales

THE MAGAZINES

Caleb Powers Own Story.-The man
convicted of the murder Of Governor Goe-
bel of Kentucky five years ago is telling
his own story in The Reader Magazine,
having given the preliminary chapters in
the February number. These preliminary
chapters tell Of the political conditions
preceding and at the time of the election
Of Goebel. They tell their story in a
very clear and forceful style. The life
of Powers since the murder of Goebel has
in itself little but the tragic. He was
the candidate for secretary of state on
the republican ticket in the campaign that
ended in Goebels death. Almost imme-
diately Powers was arrested. He has been
in Jail ever since. Three times he has
been tried, three times convicted. He now
awaits new hearing. His case has be-
come one of national Importance. The
lines for and against him have been as
sharply drawn and as bitterly as they
were in France over the celebrated Drey-
fus case. Much has been written about
this Kentucky tragedy and about Powers
alleged connection with it, but this is the
first time that the most conspicuous and
dramatic figure in it has put into print
his own story. ..

Legislators and Tips. -

y The state Of Minnesota puts it's mem
:bers of the legislature in the same class
with the SleepinS-Car porter. The sleep
ing-car companies give their porters about
enough money to pay their board, and
the porters are obliged to work the pat
ions Of the companies for tips in order
make respectable salaries.
The state of Minnesota pays it's men,
bers of the legislature about enough
money to settle their board bills during
the session, and if the members get any
thing for their services, or even enough
to pay their legitimate campaign expenses,
they are obliged to initiate the sleeping
car porter, and work those who are in
terested in legislation for tips. The ,.por-
ter however. is better used than the legis-
lator, because his employer approves Of
the tip system, while the legislators en-
ployer, the state. calls him boodler, and
threatens TO send him to the penitentiary,
and even goes so far as to take steps ia
compel him to give up his railroad passes.
-Warroad Plaindealer.
The analogy drawn by the Plain
dealer is rather unfortunate. There is
great difference between the moral
ity of the tips. The porter is tipped
by the travelling public to do services
which do not conflict with his duty to
his employers. The tip given to the
member of the legislature has a motive
that is hostile to the interests Of his
employers, the people. His first and
only duty is to the state, and in &C
cepting tip, whatever it is, he is re-
stricting his usefulness. Whether it is
money, railroad pass, or tele'
graph frank, it is given to influence
his action. -.s g..
The Plaindealer is correct in saying
that the legislators ought to be paid
for their services. They are not paid
sufficiently, but as the law now stands,
they accept the office knowing. the. con
/ ditions, and. if they cannot serve for
What the state pays they should let it
alone.
The whole system should be corrected
The state should cut off all passes, and
then make up the loss to it's lawmakers
by increasing their compensation. a
member s salary need not be magnif.
cent. for he is supposed to be paid in
part by the honor conferred, but it
ought not be necessary for any member
to moGol his moral code after that of
the sleeping-car porter. 49, j.. 80.

Appendix Not Necessarily Ezra,
I ~ - tUm,


Sir William McEwen, eminent Eng
lish surgeon, has made an important adj
dition to medical literature, taking the
ground that the appendix vermiformis,
instead Of being a useless organ and a
mystery in the human anatomy, has a
very important function in assisting di-
gestion. DIR. Rabaghati, also an au-
thority, writes that a structure so rich
in lymphoid elements has probably a
useful part to play in the economy, sand
it would be far more useful to poor and
suffering humanity, tho possibly less i'm
mediately beneficial to the prophets, to
advise how to keep the appendix vermi-
formis and other parts sound and
healthy than to proceed to remove them
in the way that is now freely proposed
and carried out" With the authorities
disagreeing in this way the sufferer is
more likely than ever to hesitate in
parting with this small section of him

The President on Rate Regulation

The president stuck manfully to his
text at Philadelphia and at the con-
clusion it was evident that there is
neither variableness nor shadow Of
turning in his position on the railroad
rate problem.
;"The details,' he said, "must rest
with the lawmakers Of the two houses
of congress, but about the principle
there can be no doubt. There must be
lodged in some tribunal the power over
rates and especially over rebates, wheth-
er secured by means of private cars or
private tracks, in the form of damages,
or commissions, or in any other man
iner'
And again: elm some such body as
the interstate commerce commission

uses the railroads and every man who
owns or manages a railroad shall on the
one hand be given justice and on the
other hand be required to do Justice. -

take the form of violent or ill-advised
interference; and assuredly there is
danger lest it take such form if the
business leaders Of the business com
munity confne themselves to trying to
thwart the effort at regulation instead
of guiding it aright.'
The presidents remarks at Philadel-
phia will prove reassuring to the bust
ness community which has pinned its
faith to his firmness and consistency
The president stands for effective regu
1ation by the Interstate commerce com
mission. By effective regulation he
no doubt means regulations that 90 into

the country has decided against the rail
road. ~s.

gress to "toemark the president 8

A Contrast and a Lesson.

A remarkable dinner was recently Civ
en- at the Hotel ST. Regis in New York.
It was "feed'' to the rich where moth
ing but gold was good enough to hold
the food. The '1favors'' were gold
clocks four inches high to the women
and gold boutonniere vases for the men.
The reported cost of the dinner is $780,
900, or about fourteen hundred dollars
a stomach.
To complement this story Of vulgar
wantonness comes yesterdays report
that 10000 New York school children
are unable to go thru their lessons be-
cause they come to school without
breakfast.
J The board is planning to set tables in
the school easements, and it calculates
that it can offer breakfast to those who
can pay at 6 cents and free to those who
cannot. Gold clocks and 6-cent break
fasts! Epicures too stuffed to feel and
children too pinched to think! Surely
painful contrasts are not wanting in the
land of liberty. ...... -. ~
AS repugnant to our ideas as it may
seem, it viii probably come to it that
the school board Of New York will fur
nish the meals as we'll as the schooling.
It has been done in Paris for years. 1t
is being done in London, and tomorrow
it will be done in New York.
The free meals were begun as a
charity in London, but already
economists have seen in them the saw
ing Of the nation. England is deteri-
Grating fast physically and school meals
appear to afford the first point at which
The Boer war brought out the facts.
The school meals have suggested the
remedy. All experts are agreed that
the cause is the underfeeding and in
ferior housing Of children. The discov-
cry Of these facts has already resulted
tenn from London to other large cities.
America would, Of course, rather re-
main in a position where the homes of
! the country would furnish food and
fresh air for the children, but large
American cities are not different from
London or Paris. Congestion will pro-
duce it's attendant evils and half cen
fury from now we shall be struggling
with the London or the Paris problem.
It is in view of such certain facts that
the st. Regis dinner appears so idiotic.
If New York does not wish a French
revolution let her people abolish their
French court. Cause and effect have
not lost their potency.
