A Puzzle in Foreign Trade.

Up 10 last October the monthly i'm
ports of the country had only three
times run above $9o.ooo.ooo. Since
then the value of imports, according
to government reports just issued has
been: October. $92,777.920: Novem.
Der. $95.170172; December, $9G.566.
1853: January. s9S,3G0.34S; February
sos. O57 .052
December. January. and February in
turn broke all records" February a
short month with two holidays. was
the first TO surpass 100000. 600 in i'm
ports. II passed last years high mark
by nearly Sl2.0O0.O00
Meanwhile exports fell below the
seasonal average. The excess of eX-
ports over imports was less than So
600 .000-auuther record" broken The
average monthly excess for six years
has been $41.O00,000 In December,
1903. the excess rose nearly 10 S10O.-
600 .000
Financiers may dispute over the
meaning OF these facts-whether a
holding OF American securities abroad
permits us 20 do with smaller trade
balances or whether the increase of
imports is due TO extravaganza pres
emily TO Toe paid for-but the fact IS
apparent of a remarkable change in
the character of our foreign commerce
as compared even with one year ago

DECLARES BAD HABITS

Iowa City School Superintendent
Vigorously Opposes Organized
Sports.

The charge that high school athiec-
les combined football and cigarets.
basketball and billiards. track work
and beer. was the remarkable charge
Of superintendent s. X. Stevenson, in
charge of the Iowa City schools, be
fore the board of directors.
The students in the high school
have attempted for several years to
secure permission to play under the
authority Of the school. but this per
mission has been constantly refused
by the board on the recommendation
Of superintendent Stevenson, who
thoroughly convinced his associates
that athletics and scholastic work do
not 90 hand in hand. At the last cleo
ton practically a new board was elect
ed and the boys again attempted 10 Sc
cure recognition from the board It
was AT this meeting that Stevenson
condemned athletic work so violently.
Final action has not been taken in the
matter as yet.

men would not vote TO declare him

If there is any shame or decency
left in the citizenship of Colorado,
after stewing for years in the brew OF
their own monstrous corruption, We
should think this revolutionary pro

heads of its author. Either Adams or
Peabody was elected governor. To SET
them both aside in favor of a man
who was not a candidate. by forcing
the man declared elected to surrender
his Office, is a cynical and shameless
rravesty upon popular government.
The reputation of Peabody's pledge
20 resign as governor would neither
relieve nor deepen the shame of max
