The smallness of our trade with
the South American republics
compared to that of European
nations is being used as an ar
gument for the ship subsidy
scheme. The fact is our manu-
facturers do not seek trade down
there in the way Europeans do.
The latter make and sell the South
Americans what they want the
way they want it. while our peo-
pie try to sell things they don't
want, at least not made as we
make them. Europeans send
men to represent them who talk
the languages of the customers.
we do not. The United States
could and should command the
greater part of that trade and that

he was ready to plead guilty.
The judge addressed him in gen.

something. which he accordingly
did"

The federal government has
caused the indictment ofthe sugar
trust and six of its directors to-
gether with couple of legal ad-
visors. There is much said about
the prosecution of these violators
of the Sherman anti trust law.
Mr.. Bryan pointed out years ago
that if the criminal features of the
trusts were prosecuted honestly.
the evils would be remedied. So
far the prosecutions have been
grand stand affairs. loudly an
nounced and silently killed.
When some of the prominent Of
ficers of the trusts are actually
confined in the penitentiary. the
people will believe in the good
faith of the prosecutions.

RUSSIAN atrocities have ex-
cited our indignation. 1t now
appears that the English are pur-
suing the same repressive meas
urcs in India and the result is the
same. Bomb-throwing, train
wrecking and other similar di-
versions are of common occur
renee. Only the other day an
Indian student in London shot
and killed an English lord and
accidently one of his countrymen.
There can be but one end to such
a state of affairs. Tyranny may
succeed for time, but reckon
ing comes eventually. Russia
and England have theirs coming.
