Foreign Carrying Trade of
the United States
BY JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.

TIME value of the sea borne
foreign commerce of the
United States during the
year ending June 80. 1912, was
$3,4S1, 470,42S. Its value for the
year ending June 80, 1913, was
$S,77S,OC0,s24, a gain in one year
Of $341 ,5sO,5O1
The foreign commerce of the
United States carried under the
American flag in the year 1912
was ss22,45I565, or $4,000, ooO
less than the increased commerce
of the United States in a single
year.
Which means that the total
tonnage under the American flag
in 1912 would not have been equal
10 the carrying OF the increase in
the foreign commerce alone for
the year 1918.
During the yesr ending June 50,
1918, British vessels increased
their carrying of American
foreign commerce to the extent of
St6O245.4T5 over the previous
year, in which year the gain OF
British shipping squaled nearly
one-hslt the total foreign com
merce carried in American ships
for the year 1912,
In the year ending June 80. 1919,
British ships carried imports and
exports of the United States val

lean foreign commerce was car
ried in American vessels last year,
and we had less tonnage under
the American flag in foreign trade
than In iS10-more than a cen
fury ago.
A hundred years ago, under
the benign influence and prefer
entisl character Of the wise dis
criminatory legislation adopted by
the founders Of the republic,
American ships carried 80 per
cent of American foreign COM
MERGE, and during a period OF 7g
years, from 1889 until 1851. the
AVERAGE proportion OF the
foreign commerce of the United

Mental Virtue
By DIR. CHARLES Fl. PARKHURST.

NEXT TO knowing how to be-

schoolboy can learn is how
TO think straight. The mind is a
machine and of no value 10 a per-
son unless he knows how to
work il.
If three men fire at a mark and
only one hits it it shows that two
of them do not know how TO
shoot. The fault is probably not
with their rifles, but with their
not knowing how to handle them.

Newspaper Comment
on the Frank Case
"UNCALLED FOR"

(Fr0ns Rochelle NeoC BrG.)
People are deceived in Judge
Roam on account of the remarks
he made in refusing a new trial
to Leo M. Frank. convicted OF
the murder OF Mary Phagan in
Atlanta The remarks were seem
ingly uncalled for, and were in
discreet, to say the least. He
has not made himself any friends

From Greensboro Herald-J0uraaJ,
And, Judge Roam, who pre-
sided at the trial, says he doesn't
know that Frank is guilty Of the
murder Of little Mary Phagau.
We are surprised at Judge Roan'e
ignorance. Why. there are plen~
~ OF people right here in Green's
boro, Greene County, and else
where that know better than
that. Why, they've never heard
one word OF evidence. as Judge
Roan did, but they know abso-
lutely that Frank is guilty. There
are some mighty smart people
in this world.

South beach. st. Augustine, late Sat
urday evening by E. P. de Medicis
and Thomas Goodwin who were hunts
ms rabbits on the island. Investiga-
ton of the case has proved it to be
one of suicide. The man had made
careful preparations for his rash act.
After forcing his way into the thick
brush he took off his coat and lying
flat on his back had folded his coat
neatly over his breast. Then taking
a heavy ealibred pistol he placed the
barrel close to his temple and fired,
the bullet making a gaping wound
through the skull and brain. Death
was evidently instantaneous and from
the appearance of the body the sui
eide had evidently taken his life
nearly two weeks ago.
