The Export Figures

Foreign commerce of the United
States for the fiscal year 1912 was
greater than ever before, new high
records being established for both i'm
ports and exports. The value of mer-
ehandise entering free of duty also
reached an unprecedented total. The
years trade figures, made public July
ls, show that the imports were $685.
426, TIA and the exports $2,204, 22,08s
in value. Imports exceeded the for
mer high record, that of 1910, by about
500, 600, 900, while exports exceeded
the 1911 record by nearly $l55, 600, 900.
A country which sends out merchan-
disc to the value of over five hundred
and fifty million dollars more in one
year than it imports, can without fear
of serious consequences at least, dis.
cuss change in tariff laws. Because
we can manufacture and ship to other
countries over two billion dollars worth
of products and goods is no reason why
a lower tariff would injure the farmers
or anybody else unless it might be the
manufacturers who get such high
prices here as to enable them to I'M
dersell the manufacturers of other
countries. Farm, Stock and Home.

Patrick Conway and his splendid
concert band, with high class vocal
lists from New York, has been en-
gagged this year for the Iowa State
Fair and Exposition the last week in
August.
The Conway band earned great
repute at the last Iowa State Fair
and his concerts were listened to with
appreciation by the thousands OF
music loving Iowa people who at
tended these summer musical festi-
walls.
The State Fair management has
also secured the famous Liberati
concert band for series of concerts
at the fair, also the Fifty-sixth regi-
ment band of Ottumwa and two or
chestras.
The State Fair musical program
this year will be far and away better
than anything of the kind ever given
in the west.

A Patented Discovery

Writing to and fro in the land and
talking up and down in it are a mum.
Der of industrious gentlemen whose
constant vail is that ''both the old
parties have lost their meaning"
OF course, if that be true, a third
party is needed; and the industrious
gentlemen referred to are always ready
to guide you to that third party.
If both the old parties have lost
their meaning, it is little queer that
the discovery has been made only by
certain members of one party.
Yet such is the case. You do not
find democrats making the complaint.
Neither do YOU hear this vail arising
from the ''old guard" of the republi-
can party. They seem to think that
their political organization means much
and they are working for it as hard as
ever.
The discovery that the old parties
are meaningless is the sole and copy
sighted property Of that particular
tranch of the republican organization
which didn't get WHAT it wanted.
1t is the proud possession of those
expert scene shutters who believe that
the only bad thing about socialism is
the label.
With this in mind one can appreciate
the widely advertised discovery at its
proper value. Chicago Journal.

OFFICIAL ADMITS DUAL LIFE
PHILADELPHIA OFFICIAL PROVES
TO BE A JEAN vALJEAN.
Earns Honest Living After Serving
sentence-BIackmaiIed by
Former Convict.

Philadelphia, Aug. ia Jean Val.
jean in real life was disclosed here
when William Burke, elected a city
councilman on the reform ticket head
cd by Mayor Blankenburg last fall, re.
signed his seat and told how under
the name of Benjamin H. Trip he
had served long term in the Massa,
chusetts state prison after career
Of crime in Boston and New York.
Coming to this city in 1907 after
competing his sentence in the Massa-
chusetts prison, Burke earned an hon
est living as a wood carver, trade
he had learned while in jail Taking
an active interest in reform politics,
he was prevailed upon to accept the
nomination to councils.
Shortly after his election he was
recognized by fellow convict and
blackmailed until, driven to despera-
ton, he determined to resign and tell
his own story.
According to Burke's story appear
ing in the Philadelphia Inquirer over
his signature, for years before he be.
came a convict at Boston, he had led
the life Of thief, a pickpocket and a
porch climber. When he was arrest
ed, previous to his conviction at Bos-
ton, he was called the prince Of flat
workers" He says he started in life
Is q street waif on the east side of
New York, selling newspapers. He
was hanging around the corners of
the east side, where he began the life
Of crook, which he now, about in
his forty-third year, has confessed to.
Gopher men"-the species Of
crooks who confine themselves to
cracking and robbing safes-were the
FIRST of the underworld he met with.
They used him. SO the story runs, to
visit establishments where they
thought safe might be worth rifling.
Then he drifted in with gang of
"noll buzzers," that class of thieves
who. he explains, are pickpockets who
make specially of snatching wom-
ems handbags.
Burke insists he has done nothing
wrong since the gates of Charlestown
prison swung open for him and he
stepped into the world free man.

Concerning Party u ;tforms

The real party platforms in the pres
ent presidential contest are the men
nominated, and the manner IN which
they got their nominations. The issue
is we'll enough defined without seeking
to analyze :promises that do not and
cannot bind the candidates. Nobody
cares what thesplatform of the repub-
lican party processes to be. The plat
form is Taft and the steam roller. No
one is seriously concerned about demo-
cratic platform utterances. The issue
is Wilson and reform. The third term
party need not spend time defining its
stand on fair weather and good crops
its melting force is personal ambition
and the third..term.-Farm, Stock and
