The United States has not been par
ticularly fortunate in efforts to extend
American trade in countries whose peo-
pie have little or nothing in common
with us, in customs, manners or mode
of life. The consular service of the
nation, urged on by the authorities at
Washington, has been persistently in
dustrious in calling attention to advan-
tages certain to follow activity on the
part of this country in remote for
eign fields.
One of the consuming topics of Of
fetal discussion about the time of the
outbreak of the war between Russia
and Japan was the threatened damage
to American trade at the two Man
churian ports, Antung and Mukden.
which had been declared open ports
through one of those diplomatic vic
tories often scored by the State depart
ment. So intense became this discus
sion that fear arose in some circles that
most American manufactures engaged
in foreign commerce might have to
close If the free use OF these ports was
interfered with. The last report of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
shows that the total business at the
two ports was just few hundred dol
lars less than the salary Of the consuls.
Perhaps the most striking instance
of trade promises that have failed is
furnished by the latest reports of Mo-
roccan commerce. So important were
American interests in Morocco consid-
cred that the United States practically
interviewed, a year or 30 ago, when the
European powers were wrangling over
Morocco. Delegates appointed by the
United States practically dominated the
conference at Algeciras. It was pointed
out at the time that Morocco would
furnish rich field for the develop
meLt Of Americas foreign trade. The
report just issued shows that our en-
tire trade with Morocco for 1906
amounted to $195,5s2, which, by the
way, was a decrease of SO per cent
from the record of the previous year
While there should be no cessation
of efforts to extend Americas foreign
trade, experience suggests that better
results might follow the cultivation of
trade relations with Canada. Mexico,
Great Britain. Germany and France in
stead of devoting so much time, eff
fort and money to opening accounts
with countries that have little to sell
and nothing they want to buy from

A vICroRY FOR aMANANA."

Secretary Taft, the travelling diplo-
mat of the administration at Washing
ton, has achieved a triumph in Cuba,
by reason of his knowledge OF the
Cuban character. Before the secretary
left Washington, reports from Havana
we're of a most alarming character.
The liberal party had become so rest
less that open instruction was threat
ened. Protests were pouring in from
every part of the island against the
American occupation and demands
were becoming insistent that the troops
be withdrawn at once and self-govern-
ment restored. 1t was demonstrated
that the insurgents we're already plan
ming an uprising If their demands did
not meet speedy acquiescence on the
part of the American authorities. The
conservative element in Cuba, on the
other hand, composed of all the plant
ers and foreigners who own or control
most of the land and all the indus
tries, were pleading for the retention
of the American forces and picturing a
reign of terror to follow withdrawal.
The situation appeared to be critical
in the extreme and much speculation
was INDUCED as to how Mr.. Taft would
meet it.
But the Cuban is an ardent believer
in the doctrine of manana-let it go
until tomorrow. Cockfghts and revo-
lutions are the only pastimes of the
real Cuban not willingly relegated to
the program for the next day at the
slightest suggestion. So when Secre-
tary Taft met the contending factions
in conference, his manana talk soon
smoothed out all the apparently insur-
mountable differences and made him
popular with both factions. Cubans of
all classes are now apparently happy
and content with the administration
program. The men who clamored for
immediate restoration of Cuban indie
pendence are assured that they shall
have it-not yet, but soon. First,
census, complete and thorough, must
determine the voting population, This
enumeration will begin pretty soon and
will last until It is finished After the
census the registration must be sub
mitted to severe judicial scrutiny in
order that the election, when held, may
be a fair one. Mr.. Taft has advised
patience and intimated that 1t might
take a year or so to get these prelimi-
naries we'll out of the way. Then will
come test election. The voters in
cities will be allowed to hold elections
for municipal offices, just TO demon
strate that they have learned their les.
son properly. Time will be required,
OF course, to show whether these city
officials administer municipal affairs
with sufficient ability to warrant turn
ing over the affairs of the island to Of
fcials to be chosen at a general cleo
ton.
In brief, the Cubans may count on

NOT so SERIOUS.

An attempt is being made TO per-
suade the public that there is a ser
ious question involved In the eligibil-
ity Of Representative Henry T. Clarke,
ir., to appointment to the vacancy on
the state railway commission. Before
his appointment the attorney general
gave an opinion to the effect that the
constitutional inhibition against a
member of the legislature receiving ap-
pointment from "the governor and
senate" does not refer to an appoint
ment to all a vacancy in an elective
office by appointment Of the governor
alone. This section was evidently
adapted from a similar provision of
the Illinois state constitution which,
however, expressly extends the inhibl-
ton to appointments by "the governor
or the governor and the senate" 1t
is hardly probable that any court will
hold that the wording of the Nebraska
constitution means the same as the
wording of the Illinois constitution.
Assuming, however, that there may
be question Of eligibility no fear need
be entertained that the work of the
railroad commission will be upset by
questioning the title of any member
of it. The new appointee is a commits
sioner de facto and according to all
accepted versions of the law his acts
as member OF the commission will have
the same force and effect as II he had
the commission by election from the
people. No one can question his title,
except by proceedings in quo warranto.
and 30 long as he continues to act no
railroad or other common carrier can
escape any proper order made by the
commission whether by unanimous
vote or mere majority. The attempt
to discredlt the railway commission by
casting doubts on it's authority has no
good grounds to rest on.

OMAHA AND THE NORTHWEST.

Just now the Omaha Commercial
club is planning a visit to the growing
business centers OF the great northwest.
The time is ripe for such an undertake
ing and the word that comes back from
the points intended to visit is one of
assured hearty welcome. Omaha oe-
cupies a peculiar position in a com
mercial aspect to the northwest terri
tory. 1t was through the Omaha gate
way that the first hardy spirits pushed
their way into the continuous wood
where rolls the Oregon" and through
Omaha went those intrepid adventur-
ers that built up Montana and Idaho.
Before the Union Pacific railroad had
obliterated the Overland. trail, and
while the Oregon trail was still peo-
Piled with endless caravans, Omaha
was the Quitting point, the rendezvous
for the miner and freighter. With the
building of the railroad omaha's i'm
portance to the new empire increased.
With the establishment Of new trade
routes much effort has been expended
to wrest from Omaha commercial SUI
premacy in this empire. other rail-
roads now being opened give this city
an opportunity that should be taken
advantage of, for It means the main
tenance OF control Of an immense and
steadily growing trade. More than a
sentimental reason exists for omaha's
foremost position In relation 10 the
states Of the northwest. Commercially
a distinct advantage is seen. The

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for a time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles Of the
blood are sure TO do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
Only invigorating and nerve strength
ening effects can follow the use of this
famous medicine for women. 1t can
not possibly do harm in any state or
condition of the system. 1t has been
carefully adapted to woman's needs by

ANOTHER AMERICAN INVASION.

M. Faroux, a French statistician Ehas
compiled some interesting figures
which he uses as a warning to the
manufacturers of France that they
must prepare to concede another in
dustrial laurel to America and that in
a field in which the French imagined
they were securely intrenched. Ac-
cording to M. Faroux's figures, Amer
lea now leads the world in the manu-
facture Of automobiles, having turned
out 10000 in 1906 as compared with
55, 900 made in France. 5000 in Eng
land, $4,000 in Germany, 10000 in
Italy and $4,000 in Belgium. Amer
icas development in this line of man
ufacturing has been remarkable. In
1901 the American factories turned
out but s21 automobiles while the
French makers had z3,711 to their
credit. Incidentally, NJ. Faroux shows
that a total of $4,000 motor cars
have been built in the last FIVE years,
with an aggregate valuation Of about
81 900, 900, 900.
The French authority notes, with
tone of regret. that the Americans, in
addition to having increased the volume
of automobile production enormously,
have entered into competition for hon
ors in producing the finest varieties
of cars. For a long time France held
undisputed control of the trade in rae
ing cars and the highest grade ma
chimes of all kinds. Within the last
two years, American manufacturers
have so improved their output that
superiority is no longer accorded the
French made machines. The marvel
Gus growth OF the great automobile in
dustry is simply another illustration OF
the expansion Of national development
and Of what can be accomplished in
short order when a demand is made
upon the resources of American bone,

test, industrial or otherwise.
