old Fourth Congressional district with Congressman Hill, few years ago, has come into recent mention as possible democratic candidate for the goyernorship nomination; but he declines to take the suggestion seriously and, besides, he is a Fisher Progressive and Fisher admirer.
 Senator George M. Landers, of New Britain, will cut figure in the noni- hating convention, with substantial support behind him.
 "Tom" Reilly, present congressman from the Third, might be leading candidate if he would, but Tom has Il deep and abiding affection for bis present job, and refuses to be beg1iled away from possible return to Wash ington, by any invitation to join i'll the uncertain scramble for the governorship plula. l. 0ur own Fifth Congressional dis trict there is going to be music. There are half-dozen democratic candidates eager to succeed Congressman Kennedy, who is willing to succeed himself {; while as many more republicans in the district, being cock-sure of political reaction in this district this year, are lined up, in expectant mood, in open field, defying the lightning.
 In the meantime, you makes your bets and you takes your chances.

ROTARY CLUB GET NEW
LIGHT ON REFINEMENT
Rev. John Cavanaugh of NOtrc Dame
Talks at Luncheon Wednes-
day Noon.

"All real culture is modest" de-
clared Rev. John Cavanaugh TO the
members of the Rotary club at a noon
luncheon held at the oliver hotel
Wednesday. The pride of knowledge
is little to be feared, but the pride of
ignorance is a great and constant
menace"
In discussing what people term
culture, in other words the mere for
malities and rules Laid down by So
ciety, Rev. Mr.. Cavanaugh asserted
that these are not the real principles
Of refinement. He stated that those
who smile and look down upon the
man who violates the set standard Of
ordinary society have not reached
perfection themselves or they would
not have passed judgment upon the
one who failed to act in accordance
with the rules.
All these are faults Of ignorance,
he continued. True culture brings
with it the world spirit rather than
the village spirit. True culture is
cosmopolitan; true culture is SYM
pathetic and broad minded. 1t never
mistakes our own trivial customs for
perfection"
Rev. Mr. Cavanaugh dwelt upon
the various phases of true culture.
bringing out many points rarely con-
sidered in the preponderance Of the
subject.

COMMERCE OF UNITED STATES

Washington, d. c., March 24.-Ac-
cording to the department of com
merce, the foreign commerce of the
United States made its highest record
IN the fiscal year 1913. Imports, both
free and dutiable. were larger than
ever before, and exports, both domes-
tic and foreign, were also the largest
on record. Imports were S1,S13, 900. 900
against s1.654 .O0O.O 900 in the fiscal
year 1912, and exports were 2,466, 000,-
900 against 2,2O4. 100000 in 1912.
The changing character OF our for
eign commerce is illustrated by COM
parison of the figures of 1913 with
those OF earlier years. Imports show
in recent years a much more rapid
gain than exports. While imports in
creased but % percent in the 20-year
period from 1880 to 1900. they increas-
ed 113 per cent in the shorter period
from 1900 to 1913. On the other hand.
exports. which increased 81 per cent
in the 20-year period from 1880 TO 1900,
gained only a per cent in the period
from 1900 TO 1913. Imports formed
in 1900, 37.S per cent and in 1913 42.4
per cent of the total foreign COM
merce. Foodstuffs imported in 1900
aggregated S231,OOO.OOO and in 1913
$406.00O.O00; manufacturers raw ma
terials imported increased during the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-03-24

same time from S276, 200, 900 to $685.
900, 900, an increase of $4,000, 900 in
the value of foodstuffs and raw mate
rails imported during this period. On
the other hand, foodstuffs exported dur
ing the period under consideration
show a decline of s44,000,000 and raw
materials an increase of $406, 900, 900,
a net increase of but 1852, 100000 in
foodstuffs and raw materials exported,
compared with an increase of S53f,-
100000 in foodstuffs and raw mate
rials exported
In manufactures, however, the
growth in exports has exceeded that
in imports. Imports of manufactures
for further use in manufacturing in
creased from S134 ,00O, 900 in 1900 to
s349, 10000 in 1918, and finished man.
ufdctures from s2O3. 200, 900 in 1900 to
S40S, 900, 900 in 1913; while on the ex-
pert side manufactures for further use
in manufacturing finished manufac-
lures from 1892, 200. 900 TO s77S,SSs, 900,
the increase in manufactures import
ed during the period having been
$420, 100000 and in manufactures ex-
ported 500, 100000.
The large increase in the valua-
ton of the various groups of merchan-
disc imported and exported in recent
years does not represent a correspond
ing increase in quantities. In a large
proportion of the articles forming in
ternational trade, prices in recent
years are much higher than those in
the earlier years of the period under
consideration and the increases in
quantities are in many instances less
than the increases in total values, this
being especially true of foodstuffs
and manufacturers materials.
