AMERICAS PERMEATING TRADE.

A recent consular report from the
supposedly sleepy region Of Arabia is
rather startling in the general and
picturesque details given by our Con
sui, Mr.. Schulz. at Alden. II appears
that American goods are immensely pop
ular in that place. A concisely put free
rendering Of Schultz s report says Of
the man of Alden:
He. Is not only wearing American cot
ton sheetlngs. trimmed and cut by Ameri-
can scissors and sewed on American
sewing machines, burning American
! Kerosene, but his children are now being
rolled about in American cola psible
baby carriages, while he also rides In
automobiles made in Detroit. uses Amer
lean safety ra3ors and strops, American
sarters and American starch. harnesses
his wells with American pumps and
windmills. builds bis houses with Amerl-
can expanded metal and American ham
mers. and when In hts coffee shop sips

American pride and it shows that Alden

"Indliendble Rights"

Philadelphia Record is sore distressed about the
KenyonSheppard bill to prohibit the interstate traffic
in intoxicating liquors for unlawful purposes The
editor complains:
There things that Congress
not do offhand One of the prime objects in the
formation of the republic take the place of the in
effective and obstructive confederation, to insure
freedom of trade among the several States to guaran
tee to the citizens of all states equal rights and the
like. Congress cannot grant the right to engage in
trade and commerce; that is an inherent, at any
rate, inaenable right
1t is true that the United States supreme court
decided (Crowley vs. Christensen, I37 u. S. Rep. 86)
that the right to acquire enjoy and dispose OF prop
erty is declared in the constitution of several states
to be Of the inalienabe rights of man., but the
very same decision then proceeds to discuss the
boundaries and limitations of this principle, and the
conclusion is reached: "There is inherent right
in citizen thus to sell Intoxicating liquor at retail
it is not privilege of citizen of citizen
of the United States"
Let the Record try out it's alleged inherent right"
to interstate traffic in obscene literature, lottery
tickets, impure drugs or foods or in women for i'm
moral purposes and it will get and valuable

century, tackled the problem, and wound up with
guess So did William E. Gladstone, whose great
head was saturated with Greek DR.. Henry Schle-

Morals Above Business

A very common argument advanced by the oily
mercenary liquor gang is that driving the saloon
"hurts business" Such assertions are absolutely I'm
warranted and unfounded in fact. The unvarnished
truth is the liquor traffic, many merchants have
found out by their bitter experience everywhere and
always hurts all kinds of business save that of the
dives and police court.

they not worthy of some consideration? Beyond all

to give youth moral environment and to insure
those conditions which at least would give them an
chance to grow up into decent respectable
hood and womanhood. Certainly, this is i'm

Newspaper Publicity Law Upheld.

Washington.-The validity OF the
newspaper publicity" law, enacted In
1912 as a provision of the postal ap-
preparation act. was upheld Tuesday
by the unanimous decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States.
Chief Justice White announced the
courts conclusions.
This law requires every newspaper.
magazine or other publication to file
semi-annually with the postmaster
general and the local postmaster
sworn statements of the names of the
editors. managers, owners, stockhold-
ers and bondholders. and in the case
of daily newspapers, of the average
daily circulation. Publication of these
statements is required and for failure
to comply with any of the provisions
the publication shall be denied the
privileges of the mail" A second
paragraph provides that paid for edi
torial or reading matter of any such
publication shall be marked "adver
tisement," under penalty of fine OF

But the want of money is secondary.
The matter of primary Importance Is
that people should have right IDEAS as
to what constitutes good architecture
