A BuIION IN EXPORTS.

Exports of manufactures may pass
the billion dollar line in the fiscal year
upon which the country is now enter
ing. Of course a prediction regard
ing the foreign trade at the long dis
tance of one year can only be made
in very general terms and must be
based upon the record of the preced-
ing year as well as conditions at the
present moment; but both the record
of the fiscal year 1911 and existing
conditions suggest that unless some
unexpected change should occur in the
outward flow of manufactures the to-
tai will be likely to exceed one billion
dollars in the present fiscal year.
This estimate os more than bill
lion dollars worth of exports of manu-
factures in the year upon which we

1241-CUTTING OFF HEADS-1911
In the ignorant, benighted thirteenth
century-the year 1241 t. be exact--a
law of Emperor Frederick II provid ed
that all drugs must be manufactured
under the inspection of the govern
ment. There were heavy penalties for
substitution or adultera.ion. If the
government inspector failed 20 enforce
the law-permitted benzoate of soda
in ketchup, or something like that
they chopped off his head.
In this present twentieth century
the year 1911 to be exact-the United
States also has a pure drug law. One
difference between the two statutes is
that we have progressed in seven CEN
turies to the point where heavy pen
alties for violations become 50, or SIS
or SO fines. Another difference is
that when the government inspector
DR.. Wiley-tries to enforce the law an
attempt is made to officially decapitate
him.

LEARNING vs.. CONDIERCIAIIsNI.

There can be little doubt that there
are many forces at work here that are
adverse TO the scholarly life, writes
Richard c. NLaclaurin in the August
Atlantic The influence in this direc-
ton that is most commonly discussed
is our devotion to material success.
Men are probably just as keen to grow
rich in other lands, but their chances
of success are smaller. Here almost
every man of brains is made to feel
that there is nothing but self that can
permanently exclude him from the cir
Gle of the rich. The bait is placed SO
temptingly before so many that it is
not surprising that many swallow it,
1t is a tait, too, that attracts men of
large vision. for the scale of business
is unusually great and many of its
larger problems are of character
that appeals to the ima ginative mind.
And so it comes about quite natur-
ally that an unusually large percentage
of the best brains go into the business
of America Their it must be admitted
that the rewards of the scholar are
smaller here than in older lands. This
may not be true of the scholar who
becomes famous, but it is true of the
larger body that are never heard of.
There is not the same respect here as
elsewhere for the scholar as such,
whether he be successful or not. After
all, fame is the last infrmity of noble
minds. and it does not help a man very
much in his dark days to know that he
will be appreciated if he become fam
Gus. He is not made to feel that he
is on the right track, whether he win
success or not, and that his mere ef-
forts to succeed in the scholarly call
ing will win him respect And so he
often loses heart before success crowns
