In contemplating this country's
marvellous prosperity, don't overlook
the contribution of the south.
Though the south is only Is per
cent. of the area of the United
States proper, it last year contribute
ed more than 25 per cent. of the
countrys exports.
It is not very long since the south
was hardly considered at all In
measuring up the country's business.
The industrial, financial and CONNER
cial interests Of great weight were all
in the east and north and west. Cot
ton was king. indeed. but a king
without a throne, and New England
took the scepter from him by work
ing MIN up in northern factories.
The injuries inflicted upon the
south by the civil war were terrible
and recovery was painfully slow. But
anyone who may regard the south
as still an invalid will see a great
light in the actual figures of last
years production, manufacture and
trade
the commercial growth of the
south in the last quarter century has
been little short of phenomenal.
Capital invested in factories has
increased from 1857 100000 in 1880
to s1,5OO,OOO.OOo in 1906.
The products of factories have IN
creased in the same time from $457,-
100000 to s1.750.OOO.OOO.
Capital in cotton mills has leapel
from s2LO0O,O0 to 1926. 100000.
The most stupendous increase OF
all has been from $4,000 tons Of
pig iron produced to 100000 tons
and from 10000 barriers OF petrole-
UNI to 42.495.OOO.
The AZ cotton oil mills OF 1880
have grown to $50. and the $780,
600 in such mills to $54, 100000.
The east and north and west are
no longer the whole country COM
|mercially.
These sections have generous pros

not manifest such touching regard
for the farmers interest, at that

of the man. who paysa license. How

germs do Turk in meat, and we have
great confidence in the learning, in

RAIL AND WATER.

Significant facts relative TO the
inadequate equipment Of railroads to
meet the demand are furnished in
the report of the bureau of statis-
tics, department of commerce and
labor on internal commerce for 1906,
issued yesterday. While the march OF
prosperity and the. development of
industries generally goes on without
abatement, deliveries Of all commodi-
ties by rail showed a decrease as
compared with the report for the
year 1905, and the falling off was
especially noticeable during the last
few months. Shipments of live stock
to interior points showed falling
off of 100000 mead; packing house
products 2O.OOO,OOO pounds; grain
receipts. 100000 bushels; antnra-
cite coal. 100000 tons.
On the other hand the volume OF
trade on the Great Lakes amounted
to 75,G1O,O0O net tons, as compared
with 67,345,62O tons in 1905, and
51,370,S55 tons in 1904, all three
of them being record breaking years
1t is a pity the report does not show
the comparative volume of business
on the inland water ways, for river
traffic has undoubtedly increased.

There is one sure way of keeping
peace with Japan. That is not in
yawping at the. president, but in be-
ing prepared for war. Our eastern
Island possessions are twice as far
from America as they are from ia
pan. While we are getting a regl-
ment there Japan can put in fifty,
without Hawaii, the Philippines
and Guam the United States navy
would nave no place to coal in a
war with Japan. Naturally after
steaming across the Pacific and, per
haps, around the Horn, our ships
would be out of fuel. Out of fuel
they would be easy prey for Japan.
Common sense tells us what course
to pursue. We must fortify our east
ern possessions, so that the 10000
men, VINO will be rushed to Manila in
the next six months, may hold the
fort until our ships arrive. Then we
must have a preponderance of arma-
ment afioat in the Pacific. II is not a
question of the expense OF raising
this feet. It IS question of actual
necessity. 1t will break Japan before
it will us. Some day the cost will be
too great for the little nations that
are causing all this war expense and
then we viii have a sure enough
world disarmament.

a GUESS AND CALCULATE"
Expressions Are. Good English and Not
at All American.

The accepted manner Of defining
Americans, either male or female, In
the London comic papers or In second.
rate English novels is to lard their
speech plentifully with calculate" and
guess" and with well" at the open
ing OF each sentence. This mode of
marking, or any other, is In itself
totally unimportant. but Hnguistically
1t Is not without interest, for while IT
is purely conventional as now used
and has no relation to any American
habits OF the present day, whether
good or bad II Is pleasant to note that
the hard-worked insular humorist need
not have gone so far afleld to find the
words necessary for the Identification
of Americans. They really had but to
turn to the New Letters" of Thomas
Carlyle volume l, page 1879 and there
read the following sentence: He has
brought you Fox's book OF Martyrs
which | calculate will go In the parcel
to-day; you will get right good read

worn trousers In his wardrobe, then

minutes, Suddenly she must rush to

rattles the brilliant tinware to arouse
her. The wife must walk back to the
man again with the trousers. sJrhe
man must take them and hand the
wife few tin pans All the while
the man with the tinware must smile
happily. AT last the transaction is
completed, and. presto change the
husbands trousers have disappeared
and In their place appears some tin
ware on the kitchen table. This trick
Is very novel, and will amuse the
husband greatly. The trick should not
be performed while the husband Is In
