PEDRO MOATT.

The nation which only a few days ago
welcomed the President of Chill as its
guest will now be generous with its
sympathy in the bereavement of It's
neiChbor state The death of Mir. Montt
was not startlingly unexpected. since he
was known to be in precariOus health
and to be making his trip TO Europe In
quest of relief from serious ills. Yet 1t
is q shock to the United States, as 1t is
a heavy loss to the Andean republic.
Mr.. Montt was an admirable type OF
the Latin-American race at its best. lie
was one Of the men who have done much
to redeem South America from its OLD
reproach and to place the majority of its
states in honorable places in the world
wide community of nations. His father
and brother, preceding him in the Presi-
dental office, had filled it with distlnc-
ton and honor to themselves and with
profit TO the state. He himself served
the nation in various important capaci-
ties before he became President, and in
the latter office he rendered services of
the highest value Indeed, it was by his
unremitting labors, particularly for fiscal
sanity. that he was worn out and
brought to an untimely end.
Chilli cannot well afford to lose such a
man. Yet, though his work was not
fully done. it was so we'll established
that we may expect it to be preserved
and to be carried to completion There
is no more enterprsing and progressive
nation in South America than Chill, and
there is none more securely set in con-
sttutional ways. For this happy status
she is indebted to her late President, and
to those like him.

THE "oLD GUARDS ACTION. "

"STAND-PATISMS QUINTESSENCE.
From The Syracuse Herald.
It is the very qulntessence of ''standpat-
ism in New York State politics It is a
challenge by a group of local Republican
bosses to one who has been almost uniVer-
sally regarded as the most po~eIiui anu
influential living Republican, with the pos

From The Buffalo Commercial.
The question is narrowing down to a

none until the Republican organization In
this state is changed and made truly rep
resentative of the will Of the party.
THE REASON,
From The Utica Herald-Dispatch.
II Ithe ''old guard'l opposed Mr. RooSe-

II is Lo. the rich Indian in whom real
estate lawyers of Oklahoma seem to feel
an especial interest.

Increasing postal receipts are con-
sidered a trustworthy indication OF busl-
ness prosperity. The receipts for July'
1910 at fifty of the largest postOfnces
showed a gain of 2.74 per cent over
those for July, 1909. The increase in the
New York postoffice was go per cent
and in the Brooklyn office 6.35 per cent.
This city is, therefore, enjoying more
than it's normal share of the expansion
of business reflected in the larger use OF
the mails.
The "approaching'' of a whole panel
of veniremen in the legislative graft
charges in Chicago is a scandal OF the
first magnitude. The States Attorney
should not rest until he has fastened
guilt upon those who have had a part In
this wholesale attempt to corrupt JUS
tice.
Moissant is learning that the way OF
the aviator, like that of the transgres-
sor. is hard. but he will doubtless be
cheered by the enthusiasm which his at
tempt has excited in England.
American products in foreign countries
appear simultaneously in dispatches
from Washington. One is that the eX-
ports of agricultural machinery last year
amounted to $3O00O,O0O, Russia and
Argentina being the best customers
The other item is that while Argentina,
Uruguay and Paraguay buy cotton goods
to the value of $2OOo0,OOO yearly, the
share supplied by the United States is
only 11a per cent of the total For q
long time certain agricultural 1mple-
ments notably mowers and harVesters,
made on this side of the Atlantic were
| distinctly superior to those produced IN
Europe Some of these articles were IN
vented here, and American nanufactur-
ers made improvements from year to
year which enabled them to defy COM
petition That such an advantage is en-
| joyed at present in the same degree may
be questioned. At any rate, share OF

| the share is a large one-ls undoubtedly
obtained by the energetic and 1ntelilgent
methods followed in pleasing the buyer
On the other hand, special agent OF
the Department of Commerce and Labor
affirms that the manufacturers OF cottoil
goods in the United States do not study
the requirements of the South American
market If the explanation is even par
| TALLY correct it would be interesting to
learn the reason for the alleged 1ndlf-
ference 1t is possible that manufacture
ers in this country cannot turn out goods
equal to those of Europe in quality and
offer them at attractive prices. but we
hesitate to believe it. 1t is barely con-
ceivable, too, that a trade amounting to
$50, ,OOO, 600 is not considered worth seek
ing, but that suppositton is hardly cred
| ible.

Another Pioneer Gone

Sol Lewis, who started the first bank in Arizona, died at his home in San Francisco Monday night. In 1875 he came to Prescott and opened the first bank in the territory, with NJ. w, Kales as partner. The institution was known as the Bank of Arizona, under which title the bank still exists. In 1879 Mir. Lewis went to Phoenix and opened q branch agency of the Rank of Arizona, the first bank in Phoenix. It was afterwards known as the Kales x Lewis Bank and later as the Nation al Bank of Arizona
