The Isle of Lono AGO.

There's magical isle up the river of
time,
Where the softest airs are playing:
There's cloudless sky ana a tropical
cline.
And a song as sweet as vesper chime.
And the Junes with the roses are stay
ing.
And the name of this isle is the Long
Ago,
And we bury our treasures there:
Thart are brows Of beauty and bosoms of
snow
They are heaps of dust. bu. we loved
item 50.
There are trinkets and tresses Of hair.
There are fragments Of song that nobody
sings.
And a part of an infants prayer;
There's lutte unSwept. and a harp with
out strings.
There. are broken VOWS, anil pieces Of
And the garments that SHE used to
There arc hands that are waved when the
fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air:
And we sometimes near through the tur-
bulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind down the river is fair.

Our Foreiun Trade.

The Philadelphia Press contains
some very interesting figures showing
the growth of American trade with
England. In the first half of the
present year the United States sold
products to the United Kingdom
amounting to nearly three times the
value of the products we purchased in
that country, leaving trade balance
points out the curious and interesting
fact that the United States is doing
land at the present time than IS
Canada, for while the Dominion in the
first half of the present year increased
it's purchases from England by S14,-
000, 900 over the same period in 1905.
the Dominion was able to sell the
parent land only $9,0O0,000 more than
it did two years ago. The United
States made better showing. Its
sales to the United Kingdom in the
first half off 1907 exceeded those of two
years ago by s77,OOO0OO while the
amount we bought from our British
friends increased only $25,0O0,000.
These facts are interesting for they
show the utter fallacy of the claim Of
the free traders that the adoption of
their theory is necessary to the growth
of our foreign trade. As a matter of
fact, we have today the largest and
most far-reaching foreign trade in our
history while at the same time our
great home market, the finest in the
world, as a result of the prosperity
which it has enjoyed under the
Dingley tariff law, is consuming a
vastly larger volume of products, both
manufactured and agricultural, than
ever before in its history.

Corporations and the Law.

In his recent speech at Columbus,
Ohio, Secretary Taft made some allu-
sions to existing economic conditions
which are worthy Of careful considera-
ton by American people. "If," he said,
1.-THE prosecution of dishonesty and
Illegal practices, like the giving and
the taking Of rebates and the destruc
ton of competition by monopoly, is to
mjure the market for stocks
then this Is a burden that must be
borne. and must be charged not to the
head of the nation, whose duty 1t Is to
enforce the law, but to the violators of
the law, whose pursuit of criminal
methods has been so successful ana
far-reachng as to make their prosecu-
ton a serious threat against the sta
blity of the market"
1t is gradually soaking through the
hair of certain corporations that they
are no longer to pile up wealth at the
expense to the American people Oh
special privileges. No sane man Will
begrudge any aggregation of capital
the legitimate prosperity that comes
to it in the field of industrial enter
nriso. We are a nation of vast and
,1ndeveloped resources. the expansion
of which, under the law and by fair
husiness methods, will make vastly
for the prosperity not only OF
the corporations who lead in the work
Int Cor the whole American people
At the same time the public will insist
on the square deal, that great enter
prises as well as small shall be
amenable to the law, and that no mar
or combination of men shall hereafter
be permitted to pile up millions of dol
lars by illegal methods and at the ex'
pense of the American masses.
We do not believe President Roose'
Welt has the slightest disposition t.
prosecute capital but he does insist
and rightly SO. that corporations a
we'll as individuals shall be held to b.
strictly amenable to law His posi-
ton. we believe. was accurately state,
by Secretary Taft when he said:
at is not true that the President
engaged in raid against all corpora
l tons. 1t is not true that he pro
I poses 20 rip up past transactions. whe
by reason of the injury to innocen
purchasers such course would d
more injustice than good. His onl

with the fullest vigor. the corporations
and individuals whose fragrant viola
tions Of the laws make it necessary to
do so, in order that complete reform
may be effected in our business meth
DDS with respect to the evils which I
have described.
1t is evident that Secretary Taft is in
entire sympathy with the President in
his views and in the policy which he is
pursuing to honestly, fearlessly and
rigidlv enforce the laws without refer
ence to men or combinations of men,
however powerful they may be finan-
cially or however high their standing
in the community. There has been,
it is true, a disposition in some quar-
tors to advocate reprisals upon wealth,
but we do not believe that any great
number of American people will take
this short-sighted view of the situa-
ton.
Wealth, so long as it is honestly ap-
piled to the development of this coun-
try in any legitimate branch of it's in
dustrial life, is doing a good work and
merits the heartiest support and the
strongest possible protection. If, deal
ing fairly and honestly with the pub
lie and observing all the requirements
of the law, it is still able with the
splendid opportunities for growth and
progress offered by our country, to
show handsome profits, so much the
better. No fair minded man will re-
gret them. 1t is not the desire of an
intelligent public to limit the opportu-
mites for the employment of capital
but simply to insist that it be not per-
mitted at any time to be above the
law nor to enjoy any rights which may
not be enjoyed by the humblest citi-
zen of the republic.

The Cony Hiuh School.

The cony High School.
There appears to be no difference OF
] opinion among the citizens Of Augusta
| as to the pressing need of an enlarge
| ment of the Cony High School. This
| building which opened its doors 10
only eighty-five pupils, and which was
| designed to accommodate, at the out
| side. not more than one hundred and
| fifty, will be called upon when the
| school opens again on September 12tn
| tn care for more than two hundred.
The result will be a congested condi-
ton that must, at best. be a serious
handicap to the educational work
which the school is designed to ac-
complish. Moreover this condition Of
affairs. so long as it is permitted to
continue must, necessarily put a limit
to all progress and expansion of the
school work, beyond its existing scope.
There has long been a growing feeling
in favor of a good commercial course
in our high school, inasmuch as only
Il comparative few of the boys and
girls who enter it contemplate
college education. Such course,
however, would mean a substantial
for, and with the present accommoda-
lions of the building already overtaxcd
c nhyinnS1y Of rIaCtinn
Therefore our citizens are practically
unit in the belief that there should be
substantial enlargement of the
present building-one that will not
only meet present needs but provide
also, for future growth.
Upon this proposition there is
practical unanimity among the citizens
of Augusta. At the same time there
are some practical objections to an
immediate beginning of the work. All
the contractors of Augusta are now
busily at work. Not in many years
has there been the amount of building
going on in our city that there is at
the present time. Just now
money is tight and there is little
probability of a more favorable condl-
ton for borrowing until after the NOV
ing of the fall crops. Last, but not
least, the time is near at hand for the
opening of a new school year. 1t is
highly desirable that this work of
should be done, SO far as
possible when school is not in session.
For this reason it would seem best
that this work, much as it is needed
should go over to another spring. The
for it can then be voted
at the annual School meeting. Con-
tractors will then be in position to bid
upon the work with the result that Il
much more favorable figure will
probably be secured on it than
would be possible now. At that time
the conditions will be favorable fur
placing a loan, and by starting the
work in June it can be carried along
through the summer vacation and
brought to completion with the least
possible interference with the work of
the school. The Journal finds itself
in hearty accord with the very practi-
cal views of Superintendent La Rue
as set forth in his Interesting
published in our issue
of Thursday morning We are con-
fdent that our citizens will heartily
agree with him that if we do our duty
by the Cony High School-as we all
Will feel pride in doing-the building
must be enlarged in the near future,
and that right here lies the most
urgent need Of our school system.
