MONROE CENTER,

Center school closed Friday, May
l6. AS the pupils were so few in
number they did not have a program
but planned surprise on the Mauch
Chunk school, which was a splendid
success. The day was beautiful one
and the Center pupils, eight in num-
Der, with their teacher, Miss Bertha
Alexander, played game of STEAL
Sticks" with the little chunks and
their teacher, Miss Lille Alexander,
which made their number fifteen
The "Centers" after having walked to
the Chunk school put all the fifteen
Chunks" on "Center's" side base.
That's going some. The surprise was
successful and the game was decided
in favor of the center school. After
recess the two schools had musical
program, which was very interesting
and enjoyed by both schools. The.
program was as follows:

ROOSEVELT'S LIBEL SUIT.

Discussing a feature, of the now
celebrated case in court, which is sc
generally overlooked, the Springfield
Mass, Republican says:
When, late in the presidential cam
Ipaign, a very obscure newspaper call
ed the Iron Ore, published in Ishpem
ing, Mich, charged that Mr.. Roose
velt's use of alcoholic stimulants was
promptly brought suit for SANDER
He had long been awaiting the oppor
tunity. The New York Times special
correspondent at the trial now in pro-
gress testifies that year ago Mr.
Roosevelt said to him: If this Islander
lis ever printed in so many words, and
! by a responsible newspaper, | will
bring suit for damages and settle il
once for all
He had to wait nearly six months
and until the closing weeks OF a pecu
liarly bitter political struggle before
the American press gave him the
chance he was looking for. And then
the Islander appeared in a paper whose
existence, We confess, had been hith
erto unknown to us.
"On the whole, the American press
has no reason to be ashamed of its
record in this matter. The SANDER
GUS gossip had been in wide circula
! ton from one ocean to the other fol
AT least year thousands of people
told it privately. 1t was to be met
/ with everywhere. AS early as the
late fall or early winter of 1911, stor
les reached us from five different and
widely separated sources in one week
all rejecting upon the drinking
habits of Mr.. Roosevelt. The news
papers were not in the least respon'
sible for the calumnies. They passed
| from mouth to mouth, and some OF
them were staggering in their pre-
lcision of detail and apparently author.

The long wait Mr.. Roosevelt had
to endure before a single newspaper
| in the United States furnished a vent
for these scurrilous reflections upon
his personal habits was, perhaps, un
fortunate, inasmuch as a much earlier
publication of the scandal would have
enabled him much earlier to bring
suit. But the experience does show

the press. In this case, the news
papers-and there were thousands OF
for many months
what was common gossip in every
city, town and crossroads of the
United States. To be sure, the libe
laws exercised wholesome restraint
upon them; and all Responsible pub
fishers and editors appreciate the
fact that there may be difficulty in
proving the truth of such allegations
in court even if they are well found
ed.
And so, without claiming any vir.
tue whatever for the self-restraint
even OF the most scrupulous journals
lit is at least apparent that the worst
lilies told are those which usually dc
not get into type. The most villain
GUS falsehoods are not those exploit
ed by the newspapers. The most
mendacious and atrocious assaults
upon private character are those one
hears in the smoking.rooms Of the
hotels, clubs, Pullman cars and ocean
steamers, or over the card tables OF
beautifully gow1ed women, or. II may
be, by the chaste fresides of the first
citizens"

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

"Our foreign trade is showing some
very satisfactory results" says Henry
Clews in his weekly New York let
ter. "In April our exports aggregat-
ed nearly $200,0O0,000 and our i'm
ports $144,O00,000, an excess of ex'
ports amounting to about S55 100000,
against s16,000,000 a year ago. For
the ten months OF the fiscal year the
excess of exports has been 1862, 000,'
600, against $524, 00O, 900 one year ago.
This liberal and larger excess OF ex-
ports places us in an exceedingly
strong position as regards our foreign
trade, and will go far toward pay
ment for the securities which we
were obliged to take as a result OF
the European selling caused by the
Balkan war. Our exports in April
were $2o,00O,00O larger than a year
ago, when the total was s199,S00, 900,
or the largest for April on record,
Our importations in April were S144,'
100000, or SlS,000,000 less THAI a
year ago, when the total was $780,
100000, or the largest for April on
record. Our importations in April
were $144,000,000, or s1S,000,000 less
than a year ago, foreign purchases
having been materially checked by
fears of tariff revision. When the
new schedules are enforced there
win doubtless be a rush of imports.
At the same time 1t is quite possible
that our exports Of manufactures will
also largely increase, partly as the re-
suit of lower prices-which may also
tend TO restrain imports. It is not
probable that changes in the tariff
will induce any violent readjustment,
and il would cause no surprise II the
result was a large expansion in our
foreign commerce"

How time glides swiftly by and
brings us to another Decoration Day,
and with il what memorieSl
Nothing but death can erase the
deeds, the daring and sacrifice of the
great multitude who today sleep be-
meath thousands of fiower-covered
mounds. 1t is most fitting that one
day in three hundred and sixty-tive
should be set apart to decorate every
soldiers grave. Some are unknown"
and it is unknown to many where
their loved ones fell or where their
poor bodies were inferred, but a
grateful country has gathered the
bones of all unknown" and buried
them in consecrated ground, eonse-
Grated to the memory of all heroic
dead, known and unknown. At the
return of each Memorial day the
whole nation gathers around these
cherished graves and covers them
with tributes of love and remem-
brance. -'''' .' .. =
The great majority have joined the
silent hosts who inhabit the city of
the dead. In a few more brief years
their comrades will, to the last man,
have joined them on that echoless
hore, but their children's children,
down to the end of time, will respect
the ceremony inaugurated by one
who led these invincible hosts only
to victory and to glory. His name
and theirs will not perish in the flight
of time. Noble deeds make every
year some touching incident occurs
which brings the tears to eyes I'M
used to weep. An aged wife, mother,
father or friend is seen vending their
way to some sacred spot with their
tokens for the dear one whom they
mourn Little children, too, come
with their flowers to lay on the grave
of some one they have been taught
to revere, for deeds OF heroism.
Bring garlands green and flowers
bright and cover the humblest mound
and with them bring VOWS of loyalty
to God and country and charity for
the helpless ones they have left be-
hind and for the weary veteran who
still totters down life's rugged road.

COFFEE APPROPRIATIONS.

Secretary of Commerce William T..
Redfeld has issued a statement to
the effect that, according to figures
compiled by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce for the nine
months ended with March, 1913, the
|importations of coffee into the United
States in the present fiscal year end
ing June 80, next, will show a larger
value than in any preceding year in
the history of the country, although
the quantity will fall materially be-
low that of certain earlier years. This
prices this year than at any time for
many years.
In the nine months ended with last
March, the coffee importations amount
ed to 716,327,146 pounds, and from
this it is estimated that the quantity
imported during the fscal year will
amount to but little more than 900
million pounds, as against over one
million pounds imported in 1909, 1905
and 1902. The value of the importa-
tons for these first nine months was
$99, 1881 ,423, an average of 1873 cents
per pound as against 1873 cents in the
full fiscal year 1912, 1913 cents in
1911, 7.9 cents in 1910, rs cents in
1909, and Sc cents in 1903, the aver
age import price in 1913 being more
than double that of 1908.
About three-fourths OF the coffee
imported into the United States comes
from Brazil In the first nine months
Iof the current fiscal year that country
Supplied $50 million pounds, valued at
I7S million dollars, somewhat more
than three-fourths of the total guam
.tity Of TIC million pounds imported.
The average import price of the Bra
lillian coffee was 1879 cents per pound,
as against 1912 cents in the full fiscal
year 1911, and dents in the fiscal
year 1909. The other principal coun-
tries from which coffee is imported
into the United States are Colombia,
with SO million pounds in the fiscal
year 1912; Venezuela, 38 million
pounds; Central American states, IA
million pounds; Mexico, IS million
pounds, and the East Indies, million
pounds. The import price per pound
of the coffee from countries other
than Brazil is about the same as OF
|soffee from that country.
The average consumption per capita
of coffee in the United States has
shown a steady decline during the
period in which prices have so sharp
ly advanced. In the fiscal year 1903,
the average consumption per capita
was over IL pounds, and the average
import price rs cents. In 1911. when
the average import price had adj
yanced to 1913 cents per pound, the
average consumption per capita was
but 9.3 pounds, and in 1912, when the
average import price was 1873 cents,
the average consumption was but SO
pounds.
