TRADE OF RENT IS

MAJOR CARSON, CHIEF OF THE
 BUREAU OF MANUFACTURERS,
 SAYS WE DO NOT REACH OUT AFTER IT.

Washington, July 1.-(Special)- )-Maj. manufacturers, whose work during the past year has done wonders in building up the foreign commerce of the United States, especially in the Orient, says the main reason we are not getting more of the trade of China, Manchuria and Japan is that we are not going after it.
 We do not realize, said Major Car son today, that next to Japan, the Unl- ted States is nearer the markets of the Orient than any of the great commercial nations of Europe, yet England and Ger many are now laying the foundation for a wonderful commercial development. Japan, of course, realizes the possibilities of the markets of Manchuria and China. and is shrewdly preparing for the growth that is to come. The bureau of manu- factures is doing a great deal to assist in the extension of American commerce there, but l find that we are either too busy with our home markets or that we do not realize the opportunity that IS ours. Another thing, American exporters do not study properly the oriental mar kets. It is foolish to think it is profit able to create markets for goods of our own taste We must conform to the tastes of the people to which we wish to sell. In this very particular, in order to inform American cotton nanufat turers - to what is in demand in tfSN rient, &ais bureau has recently sent eut s000 sam oes of cotton goods. l do not consider the Chinese boycott serious factor for the reason that Chinese merchants are no more influenced by sentiment in business affairs than other nations. and will buy goods from the people with the best bar gains to offer

St Louis. MO.-A paragon Of Office
boys, yet a terror at home. Gustav
Rupert. aged IA. and his aunt. Mrs.
Ida Keller. respectively grandson and
daughter of Joseph Bauer, a dry goods
merchant of South Broadway. have
been arrested at Hot Springs. Ark.
the boy charged with robbing his
grandfather of s1.7O0 before eloping
with Mrs. Keller, whom he is said to
have given $500.
The boy seems 10 have a dual per-
sonality that has long puzzled his fam
lily.
Rupert according TO advices to the
ST Louis police. confesses to the theft.
which was Effected by pryiag into a
vault under Baucr's store. This vault
contained iron pots filed with gold
coin.
In statement TO the Hot SPRINGS
police young Rupert says that he
stole money from the vault: that he
gave $500 TO his aunt. $3.50 each TO two
companions and 500 60 another. Two
OF these boys left later with wild
west show. Rupert. according 20 his
grandfather, talked constantly OF cow
boy life and outlaws. He reveled In
the fiction literature OF desperadoes.
The story told by Bauer TO the DO
lice revealed marvellous boy char
acter Young RUPERT was truly a
youthful Jokyll and Hyde.
When Gustav was two years old his
mother. low Mrs. Otto Schaener Of
Hot Springs. Ark. remarked and sent
the child 90 his grandfather. Mr..
Bauer. lie was sent in a basket and
an accompanying note requested that
good care be given him.
Bauer was the father OF Mrs. Schaef-
fer's first husband and ne readily took
the child into his home
When Gustav was years old. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Bauer. he was dis
covered at night rining the pockets OF
his grandfather's trousers. This was
followed 10y other misdocds and in an
attempt TO Brighten him Mr.. Bauer
clipped articles from the dally papers
wherein the stories OF criminal convic-
tons We're rccitod Some OF these
clippings stiil remain pasted up In the
little dry goods store on South Broad

Gustav was a model Office boy. He
was always on time and worked until

was excellent. his manners unsur~
passed. lie was pointed out as an
example. as a shining specimen of
the ideal Office boy.
But at his own home IL was different.
He lived in his grandfathers rooms
over the store. The grandparent says
that the boy repeatedly rified the cash
box.
Il accused Gustav OF stealing and
he admitted it," Mr.. Bauer said. Il
liked him and begged that he do diff
ferent. | showed him the newspapers
10 prove that criminals always suf-
fered, but he seemed not to heed it.
He talked 20 me about western
life and said that he wanted TO be a
cowboy. He bought half a dozen
pistols and a pair of clippers such as
they use for shearing cattle.
Bauer is one OF the rich merchants
in the South Broadway district. He
has been there many years. Several
years ago he lost money In a bank
failure and ever since has boarded his
coin. He built crude brick vault in
the cellar under his store. In this
vault ne placed pots. There was sew
eral thousand dollars in these pots.
TO get TO the pots OF gold one had
to mount the vault. Here there were

small holes which rested over the re.
ceptacles. BY lowering an iron hool,
the pots could be raised. Bauer did
this when he wanted 10 put away his
money. According to the belief o.
Bauer the young man made several
visits 20 the vault.

ISSUE OF PROHIBITION.

Vicksburg, Miss, Oct. ll-Gov.
elect E. F. Noel, passed through to
Natchez, accompanied by his law
partner, A. NJ. Pepper, on legal bus
mess, while here gave out a state
ment that he would recommend stat
utory prohibition in the State to the
first Legislature that met after his
Inauguration.
1t was not his intention at the be-
ginning of his campaign, he said,
to make the prohibition question an
issue. While he was always favor
BILE to prohibition and would have
signed any reasonable bill of a pro-
hibition nature that the lawmaking
body might have passed, yet the
liquor men themselves had made
the question an issue, and he was
going to meet them at least half way,
and would recommend to the Legis-
lature the passage Of a prohibition
law to cover the entire State.
With reference to appointments
Mr.. Noel said that the question of
any appointments was still unsettled.
He had made no pledges and would
enter the Office unhandicapped. He
said he would act promptly and
speedily and will dispose Of any
such matters at once after the in
auguration. He said he would en-
deavor to please the people of the
State, would respect their wishes as
nearly as possible, and would en-
deavor to select worthy and compe-
tent men to fill any positions he had
authority to fill by appointment.

1t may be considered a little per-
tlnent for the Herald to inquire of
what benefit has the office Of Com
missioner Of Agriculture proved to
Mississippi? But if it is in order
we would like for some one to tell
US, and if it is Of no value why not
abolish it and save the expense?-
fazoo City Herald.
The inquiry is a timely one. The
Office is Of no benefit to the people,
and is an expense to the taxpayers
OF which they should be relieved
Such offices are seldom occupied by
practical farmers, but go to some
small calibre politician. The next
Legislature should abolish the of.
flee among its first acts.
