Easter Monday egg rolling the White House
lawn attracted several thousand youngsters to-day.
From a until 1 p. the children raced and
shouted, played games. rolled eggs and ate them
and scattered shells and paper and broken baskets
from end of the grounds to the other. No
grown-ups admitted. unless they came as

With this years festivities came the discovery Of
a new industry. One Of the policemen on guard at
the eastern entrance gate had his attention at

old, who frequently accOsted strangers. He would
hold up the woman. as the case might be.
and once in a while uld enter the grounds with
them. Tt would not be long, however. before the
boy would be the sidewalk again, ready with
his salutation story for newcomers. Finally
the policeman seized the boy by the arm as he was
leaving the grounds and asked him what he was
doing.

For what?' asked the policeman.
Because they can't get in unless they've got a

than we take from them. but the volume of
transactions is necessarily small. In Central
America the situation is reversed, for our pur-
chases, except from Panama, exceed our sales.
Owing 10 the demands of the canal diggers our
exports to Panama rose in value from S9I9,0O0
In 1904 TO S4,745,00 in 1905, while our imports
remained stationary at about SS00,OOO. But from
the other republics we take liberal supplies OF
coffee. india rubber, bananas and woods, and
have a moderate balance Of trade against us.
With all these minor southern neighbors, as we'll
as with Newfoundland, Labrador, Bermuda and
Miquelon, our commerce has increased in the last
five years from S6OO00O00 to S100Oo0O0o-a
gain Of 666 per cent.
1t is evident that Canada, Mexico Cuba and
the Central American republics will all undergo
an enormous development In the next twenty
Eve or fifty years. The United States is so SIT
uated that it can aid in this development and
profit by 1t. These great nearby markets are
assured to us if we make any serious effort TO
enter and possess them and they will perhaps
yield better return commercially than ventures

EASTER OFFERINGS FALL BEHIND.
Not Up to Those Of Last Year in the
Churches.

From totals of offerings received Easter at

largest contribution. announced Sunday night. was

OUR NEARBY FOREIGN MARKETs.

One Of the plainest indications of healthfuI
growth in our foreign trade is the steady broad
ening of our trade relations with nearby couu-
tries. Time when We looked TO Great Brit
ain and a few other nations in Europe as the
sole purchasers of our surplus crops and raw
materials and the sole vendors of the manufact-
ured articles-either necessaries or Injuries
which We were anxious to import Commerce
with our neighbOrs of North America and South
America WAS little cultivated and long remained
Insignificant Now we are beginning to enter a
Held peculiarly our own. and TO develop markets
m which we have by virtue OF our geographical
position an exceptional advantage
Within the last decade the United States
has become great exporting nation. In that
same period our two next door neighbors-Can-
ada and MeXicO-have also enjoyed exceptional
development and exceptional prosperity. Their
power to buy has increased almost as rapidly as
oGr power to produce, and our trade with them
has therefore been abnOrmally stimulated. Be
tween the United States and Canada commerce
grew from value Of $50. .429 096 in 1890 TO a
value OF S202.999.213 in 1909. In the case Of
Mexico the total rose from $3l 100000 in 1895
70 SS2-OO0.O00 in 1905. Since 1895 too Cuba has
been liberated from Spain and started ON a
career Of independence and prosperity With
thls third near neighbor our commerce has in
creased in value in the last ten wears from s65 =
1875 10 1905 our trade with the world at large
grew about 30 per cent. But in the same period
Our trade with Cuba has nearly doubled, with
Canada has more than doubled and with Mexico
has increased 800 per cent
With our smaller North American neighbors
We are also rapidly extending sales and DUR
chases. Porto Rico's absorption after the Span
ish War resulted In enormous relative in
crease in commerce between that island and the
United States. Porto Rico was made an American
customs district in 1900. In that year the value
Of trade 10 and from the United States was
s7.60O.OOO. Ia 1905 the total had risen TO $50
100000 With the British West Indies trade Is
stationary, and even shows signs of declining

BRIDGE BLOCKADES.

The frequency with which blOckades of car
transportation occur on the BROOKLYN Rridoa
ana the length of the suspensions of traffic which
are sometimes caused by what seem like corDar
atlVely uihing mishaps are giving rise to the
question whether that important highway of
travel is in all respects managed as efficiently
as the public has right TO expect and to de-
mand. With the general policy Of the operating
company there is no present quarrel unless il he
over the matter Of running more cars in nom
rush hours. We believe there should be- moro
cars run at such times. and we understand the
company proposes TO run them in response IN tho
suggestions OF the State Railroad Commissioners
But in rush hours ii may be that as MANY cars
are now being run as existing facilities and con
ditions will permit to be run in safety Tho
question is whether they are being run IN tho
most efficient and workmaniEe manner with tho
utmost regard for the public safety. with all
possible precautions against blockades. and r.i+b
all possible energy in the repairing of sucb mis-
haps do inevitably occur and In tho rosto,.a

An %, Wind Brings Some dood.

Minot Optic: 1t is an ill wind that
does not blow some one some good.
That is true of the recent election
i'm North Dakota.
Th, fact that several democratic
representatives have been elected In
the eastern part of the state will help
Ward county and the northwestern
part of the state i'm the fight for re
apportionment
There is practically no question
that the next legislature will pass a
reapportionment measure, and that
he republicans will be i'm control of
both houses In order to give Ward
county and the other counties i'm the
northwestern and western part of
the state the representation to which
this section is entitled, it will be
necessary TO cut down the represen-
tation i'm some of the eastern coun-
ties
The republicans who will be in
control probably can cut down with
considerable grace the representa-
ton of some Of the eastern counties rep
resented by the democrats.
