Washington Post: Portuguese East
Africa is one of the most progressive
colonies of the new Portuguese repub-
lie, and it has perhaps the finest nat

said Giuseppe Provay, chief electrical
engineer to the harbor and railroad
board of Laurence Marques, at the

Laurence, Marques is the natural

Cape Town is the most celebrated
part, but from Cape Town to the CEN
ter of the T~ransvaal Is seventy-two
hours, ride, whereas from Laurence
Marques to the same point 1t Is but
twenty-five hours. 1t Is because of
this that the steamship line between
Europe and Laurence Is preferred to
that running to Cape Town. With a
population of approximately 100, 900,
most Of whom are negroes, Portuguese
East Africa has not a great many in
dustries. 1t has been suggested that
the coat-of-arms Of that section of the
world should represent a female figure

character of the country. We import
nearly all our food products-we raise
very little. A great many come from

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS,

) The August statement Of the bureau
of foreign and domestic of
the value Of imports and export for
the month and for eight months of the
calendar year, shows a decrease in
the former and O. notable increase in
the latter for both periods. Imports
for the single month were valued at
$137, 7O4, 1875 compared with $154, 1856. ITO
for August last year and for the eight
months $1.156,575,67O as against
i$1,188,0 75,234 for the corresponding
period in 1912. This shows a decrease
of $17,052,5 75 for the latest month and
$31,499,564 for the eight months, MAX
ing the reduction for the last month
considerably more than half that for
the eight. In some measure this is
undoubtedly due to holding back &C.
$tual imports or the entering of those
kept in warehouse, ON account of an
anticipated reduction OF duties on the
final passage of the tariff bill, SAYS
The New York Journal Of Commerce.
But for this influence there would
probably have been an increase in the
value OF imports. .m . Vi,
There was a substantial increase in
the value Of merchandise exported.
.For the month this was $187, 812, $40,
ian increase of nearly $40. 900, 900 over
last year. when it was greater by a
sstill larger amount than for any pre-
svious month of August. For the eight
Emonths the value Of exports was
Isl, 515,O85,773 against $1,416, 346,429 last
year, an increase of 8,739, 344, the to-
tai then exceeding that for the same
period in any previous year by nearly
$780, 900. 900. This increase was MAIN
Ely due to q large surplus for export of
ssboth cotton and wheat at good prices.
Exports exceeded imports In value for
the month by $~50,10ss441 and for the
eight months by s358,51Qs10a II the

comparison Is made for twelve month:
of exports amounting to Still, 1888, SAC,
the largest on record for any CORE
spending period, including that in
which exports were stimulated and
imports depressed as the result Of the
panic in the fall Of 1907.
The gold movement of the present
year shows a considerable excess Of
exports in the first three months and
in May and July, and a moderate ex-
cess of imports in April, June and
August. For the eight months the to-
tai of imports was Sal, 572, $50 and of
exports $73,583,242, an excess of $780,
010,3 1882 for the latter. This in spite Of
the large excess of merchandise ex-
ports shows once more how little there
is in the old doctrine Of the balance
of trade.
America Is continually sending large
values out of the country in excess Of
what are brought in, and this balance
goes to pay obligations Of one kind
and another or to create credits
abroad. This year this country has
been helping to supply the special de-
mand for gold at European financial
c~enters, which it can well afford to do
as the United States is a large pro-
Queer of the metal and is adding liber-
ally to it's own supply while helping to
furnish it to others for a considera-

The Battle Of Gettysburg.

Harpers have done a real service to
the country in presenting to the pub
lie The Battle of Gettysburg, a COM
prehensiVe narrative Of that decisive
campaign in the civil war written by
one Of the veteran officers in the en-
gagement, Jesse Bowman Young. Aft
err the f~ragmentary remains of the
forces of both the federal and confed-
crate armies were mustered at Gettys-
burg last summer and their rapidly
decreasing number seen recently In
Chattanooga, it Is keenly realized that
the time is near at hand when it will
be impossible for posterity to get a
clear account Of this great battle first
hand from one Of the survivors who
participated. Therefore this volume
just issued by Harpers is one that
should appeal o only to every sur
vivor Of the war but to everyone who
would know all about that great con-
hict which was one of the worlds de-
cisive battles and the greatest eve
fought in the western hemisphere.
The author, Rev. Jesse Bowman
Young, was a first lieutenant in the
Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania yolun-
teers at the time of the battle and act
ed during the campaign as assistant
provost marshal under General Hum
phreys Of the Third Army corps. For
a dozen years after the war his min
Z~isterial duties led him over a wide cir
cult, thus farniliarizing him with the
territory. The air was then vibrant

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Channe of Sentiment.

New York Post: The acquittal Of
the negro whom a mot at Spartans-
burg, S. c., was prevented from lynch
ing only by the iron nerve of the
sheriff, is being commented upon in
that state as experimenting, and as
constituting an argument against Suc1l
laWleSneSS that the most careless must
heed. The jury retired to their deliber-
atoms with the positive statement Of a
respectable white m that the &C
cused was guilty, and after twenty
hours Of consideration reported that
they could not agree. Thereupon, the
judge addressed to them such an APP
peal for recognition of their RESPONSE
bility that they speedily came to an
agreement freeing the prisoner. To
complete the course of justice, the
policeman who was alleged to have
shot one Of the mob, and who, in con-
sequence, had been compelled by pub
liCOpinionto resign has been exanerated
by the city council and resorted to his
place on the force. The whole affair
shows once more how much depends
upon a few individuals who happen to
occupy critical positions at critical
moments. The mob that attacked the
jail went so far as to blow open the
I utter gate with dynamite, but even
then h sheriff gave no sign of Yield
ing, nor did his assistants. But with
the prisoner saved for a judicial ex-
animation into his guilt or innocence,
the jury would have reported a dis
agreement, for the purpose of shifting
the burden upon another jury, except
for the taCtful but insistent determina-
ton of the judge that they should do
their duty. The consequence of a mis-
trial might easily have been a second,
and successful. attempt at lynching an
innocent man.

High Court and Its Setting.

New York Tribune: Did even a
court sit in a more fit setting thar the
high court of impeachment at Albany!
The nine judges in their black robes
sit by themselves, and rightly. Their
honesty, their uprightness, their sin
certify are questioned. BY their vote,
as a matter of fact, William Sulzar
will stand or fall.
Around them sit an utterly discredited
body, utilizing the high formulas Of
Justice at a boss order for a sordid
party revenge. Solemnity sits upon
these senator's faces. Justice will
probably come in their votes through
sheer awe Of the judges in black, and
fear OF the consequences OF a vicious
vote. But at heart a less worthy court
probably never sat in a great cause.
AS for the setting, the senate cham
Der Is glorious with onyx and papier
mache pretence, the relic of Tam

beneath the surface-and leaving the
invading justices to one side-the high
court of impeachment could not be
more suitably housed than in the fake
dignity and grandeur Of this Tam
many room.

NORTH DAKOTA CORN.

North Dakota has a bumper crop Of
corn this fall.
Ten years ago, had a North Dakotan
read these words in The Forum he
would a rubbed his eyes and look
ed again. And seeing that the editor
had said corn. would have thought it
was a mistake. And ten years ago it
would have been q mistake.
Not so in this year Of grace 1913
however. Things are different now.
North Dakota has raised a crop Of
corn, and Furthermore it's an immense
the total wealth that will roll into the
state from the crop of 1918.
Any man who doubts this state
ment, can have it proved in a way
that will open his eyes, by visiting the
Casselton corn show, that will be held
Oct. g., 10, II. During the late summer
the country around Casselton did not
look like a North Dakota landscape at
all. 1t looked more like Iowa or ILL
nois. Great rustling fields Of corn
stretched away on every hand.
They raised and matured a really
wonderful corn crop around Casselton,
as they have in many other sections
of the state, and the business men Of
'Casselton conceived the idea Of the
tcorn show. There ave been corn
shows In the state before. For some
years now corn shows have been a
Feature Of the great Tri-State Grain
EGrowers' convention, held annually
Fargo. But the show that will be held
at Casselton promises to surpass
Everything that has ever been held in
North Dakota in this line.
Already many exhibits have been
received, scores of exhibits, and it's
all fine corn, thoroughly matured, of
excellent quality, both dent and flint,
corn that is evenly rowed, and filled
out to the very tip with plump
kernels. Every farmer in this section
Nf the state should take the time and
the opportunity to take in his corn
show. 1t will be worth a fortune to
sthe farmer who is just learning the
fact that North Dakota Is a corn state
and has NOT yet got into the game"
There will be anoher corn show in
October, that promises to be equally
as important as the Casselton show.
This will be held at Lisbon, next week.
Oct. 2, 3 and 4. 1t will be known as
the Ransom county corn show. that
county having also produced a great
N,ial6 ,Of FsOPn that will or,Io1 onrthjp~
grown in the so-called corn states
for quality. Foster was another coun-
ty where there was a splendid yield,
and Professor Palmer of the A. c.. who
judged a contest held under the aus
PIECES of the Darlington Commercial
club, says that much Of the corn in
tFqster county was exceptionally fine
inequality.
These are only a few of the shows,
n contests that nave been or will
be held in the state. Practically every
county fair in North Dakota this fall,
has featured or will feature corn,
They're doing a mighty big thing
for North Dakota at Casselton and
Lisbon and wherever they have plan
ned these corn shows. The shows will
do a vast amount of good, by spread
ing the doctrine of corn in North Da-
kota, by advertising to the world that
North Dakota is a corn state, and by
spreading North Dakota grown seed
the seed that has proved by actual
test time and again to be the best to
mature a crop in this state.

Revival of Sane DANCING

Chicago Journal: The old proverb
about night being darkest just before
day, appears likely to receive another
illustration.
Just when the world seemed over
run with bunny hugs, turkey trots,
bearcats and other animal wiggles,
word comes that the old-time minuet
and gavotte are being revived, not as
spectacles, but as social dances, in
Europe. At the same time, the famous
Russian artists have aroused an inter-
est in dancing as a fine art, which
cannot be satisfied by intertWined or
highly elevated limbs.
Vulgar dancing, attacked from pro-
fessional and social quarters at once,
Is bound to retreat-or become civil
lied. .
