FROM OTHER PENS
GTORy IS THETRS.


The bands of merchant ships are
usually recruited from stewards who
mess with patty pans, take tips and
live in GLORY Hole" In any case they
are poorly paid men of a non-heroic
mold. They are not even seamen, with
the splendid fetch of the seas tradi-
tions to support. But if the steward
band of the Titanic did play its ship
down to it's doom, saving lives by al
laying panic, making it easier for
those in the boats to hope and max
ing it easier for those on the deck to
die, then the steward band has it's
place above the men of the Birken-
head and the Victoria, who held their
ranks under the iron bonds of dis
cipline. In the annals of the sea it
should rank even above that band of
the flagship Trenton, which mustered
on the quarterback to cheer on with
God Save the King" H. B. NJ S.
Ca1Iiope as that ship fought her way
inch by inch out of the deadly harbor
Of Apia, while the helpless Trenton
drove to Observation-Disclosures Times.

INCREASING ExPORTS.


If there is any serious anti-Ameri-
can feeling in the Orient or in South
America, it certainly is not indicated
in the trade movement. 1t is esti-
mated by the bureau of statistics OF
the department of commerce and la
Dor that our exports to the Orient in
the current fiscal year will run to
1920, 100000, or but 100000 under
those of 1905, which was the record
year. That was the closing year OF
the war between Russia and Japan,
when there was sudden expansion
in our Asiatic trade. Our exports TO
Argentina for the nine months ended
with March 31St were $7,662,e52
greater than in the corresponding per-
iod of last year, while the increase in
exports to Brazil was $3,1O1,S51.
There is an enormous overseas trade
awaiting us if we go after it intelli-
gently. The department of commerce
and labor has. made wonderful pro-
gress in studying the foreign markets
and furnishing pertinent information
thereon for the use of American man
ufacturers Every effort is made to
bring the consular service as at present
constituted to the highest point or
efficiency in order to aid American
producers, while there is bill in con-
gress which would have the effect or
further improving the service. me
administration should have the united
support of manufacturers in develop
ing this service, as it is used mainly
for their advantage.-Buffalo Ex-

KANSAS COMMENT
SEA REFORMS NEEnEn-

When the Titanic's &C. Q. D." was
flung out in the ether the lone Mar
conf operator ON the Carpathia was
taking off his shoes. Ten minutes later
he would have been asleep. The des-
pairing cry for help would have been
in vain. Unknown to fame as the
ambulance of the sea" would have been
the gallant Carpathia and her MASTER
full commander. For lack of Captain
Rostron's aid the 700 survivors might
have gone with the rest, and the tale
of the biggest ships fate might have
remained a mystery nearly as OPAQUE
as the loss of the Narconic. This
teaches two of the several vital les
sons to be learned from the disaster
One is that no passenger ship should
be allowed to sail the sea with a first
class wireless equipment. The other
is that every passenger vessel must
carry no fewer than two competent
Marconi operators, so that all the time
there will be response, when succor is
within range, to wireless signal of
distress.-Newton Kansan-Republican

ADVERTISER NOT AFRAID.

The dealer who persistently adver-
tises his goods is not afraid to have
you examine them. He keeps a good
new stock every time. If he had
shelf worn, shoddy, old and wormy
stuff you would not see his ad in
your home papers. He doesn't want
to tell you about moth eaten goods,
wormy prunes or sanded sugar. AL
ways trade with wide-awake mer-
chants and you are sure of getting
good, clean, fresh goods. A good buy
ing merchant buys largely advertised
brands of goods, because the people
know of their value. Whatever else
you do, do not drag along behind the
procession where you have to swallow
all the dust. Remember, that if it is
good enough to use it is good enough
to let people who are expected to buy
it know all about it. If it is not worth
advertising, don't buy it, better goods
are cheaper.-Pratt Union.

TWO REFORMS URGED.

In our humble opinion there is at,
least two radical reforms that will be
put into effect in state and federal
governments within the next two dec
AIDES. One of these is that the en-
tire business of the country will be
controlled and carried on by the sew
eral states. Insurance rates would
be about one-fourth what they are
now If there wasn't so many high
salaried officials of a half-hundred
companies to support. Another step
of progress will be that the postal
savings banks law will be amended
so that the postal deposits, instead of
being loaned to the banks at 2 a per
cent and in turn loaned back to the
people at and per cent, will be
loaned back by the government d.
rect to the people for, say az per
cent, to aid in irrigation develop
ments and home building in arid Sec
lions of the United States. There will
be objections to these matters, of
course, but they will come.-Russell
