rivalry" and if we proceed with caution and
close calculation, we ought to gain an advantage
much Of which we can hold and improve upon as
the result of experience" We have shown GER
tain deficiencies in handling South-American
trade hitherto, it appears:
There has been complaint in the past Of fail
ure to adapt goods to the requirements of the
markets sought and to exercise care in their
packing and their prompt and regular shipment
and delivery. There has also been neglect of the
terms of credit and payment customary in Latin
American countries, which European dealers
have been assiduous in complying with Their
success in this trade has been largely due to at
tention to such matters"
William M. Benney, chief Of the foreign de-
partment of the National Association of Manu-
facturers is reported by the New York Tribune
as saying:
Most of the writer's for the daily press have
called attention only to the possibilities of in
creased trade With Latin America on account of
many with the ten republics of South America,
for instance, we find that large as that trade is,
lit falls far short of the volume of our sales
to Germany.
ION the other hand, the United States is a
large buyer of German goods, and while the shut
ting off of these German imports means embar-
rassment for some of our industries, it also af-
fords opportunities for larger sales of domestic
competing products in many lines. Germany also
has valuable trade with Canada, Mexico, Cuba
and Central America"

Being treasurer OF the Riverside
Park band concert committee, would
like to make a few statements. In the
first place., why was the band concert
and speaking planned to take place on
the dump? Because. first. there was no
other place to have it. Second. it was
demonstrated that this was the prop
er place for a river side park and play
grounds. We are 5000 strong west OF
the river and not a square foot Of i'm,
proved park or Fairgrounds. I am a
great believer in cause and effect. We
are getting the effect and what is the
cause Of it.
Our city government, as far as the
public improvements and park system
is concerned, is wrong. The only fair
way to build city is to locate a COM
mon center and spend the public i'm.
proyement fund equally all around
that common center, SO that any one
buying a home in any part Of the city
would have the satisfaction Of knowing
he would get his share Of the public
improvement fund which is taken from
the taxes paid in. This kind of a sys.
tenn would do away with the necessity
/ for Improvement associations" and 1t
never would have been necessary to
have a band concert and public speak
ing on an eyesOre of dump. Our
mayor thinks the time for park sys
TEN along the river is after the sew.
ers are turned out of the river but who
knows when that will be, and where
would Chicago be if she would have
waited till the sewers were turned out
of Lake Michigan to buy the ground
which is now Lincoln Park and Jack
son Park?
1t is not buying ground for parks
that makes our taxes high. It's doing
things and then doing them over again
Take the Main street bridge which
cost $4,000 and will have to be re-
placed with a new one before it has
served us twenty-five years. With a
little more expense at the time it was
built, it would have lasted hundred
years. So you see we will soon be pay
ing more than double tax on a single
valuation in that case, and so on down
the line with a good many other
things. The old wooden bridge thai

FOX RULES AGAINST
PRE-NUP7|AL PACTS

Lucy B. OConnell of Dublin, has
won the first religious divorce fight
tried under Judge Fox in the three
court terms he has held.
Mrs. O'Connell was given a divorce
from Albert M. O'Connell now of India.
napolis. The three-year-old boy whose
religious education was the cause of
the proceedings, is to remain in the
custody of his mother.
Judge Fox gave out the opinion that
pre-nuptial agreements of the char
acter introduced in the O'Connell case
are not binding. The agreement was
signed by Mrs. O'Connell who is a
Quaker and an Indianapolis priest who
drew it in order to have any children
which might result from the marriage,
educated in the Catholic faith. Mr.
OConnell did not sign the agreement.

Mr. Editor:
Sir-One of you contributors seems
to think war results from nations pay
ing excessive attention to military al
fairs. It seems to me war more ire
quently results from influences en-
ployed by those who hope to profit by
1t. Roman patricians made money by
war. They, therefore. sent the
legions out to fight, pillage. levy triD-
ute, capture prisoners for ransom and
slaves for the market. In time they
met Carthage out on the same mis-
sion. The two Punic wars came and
Carthage was destroyed.
Germany and England might have
remained at peace a thousand years.
exploitation, giving but q small portion
of the product of their industries to
the people who did their work. and
because their domestic market could
not exceed the meager wage fund
paid to the people, surplus Is left
for which they must find q foreign
market. Just as 1t was necessary for
Rome to look for other countries to
conquer, because she lived by con-
quest, 80 it is necessary for exploiting
countries to extend their markets ia
absorb surplus products. This they
must do on pain of their extinction. 1t
therefore follows in the struggle for
markets, one is trying to get what an
other must have to live, and II both
are to adhere to the exploiting system
fight they must. The issue of surplus
products might be met by giving to
the people the product of their work
thus creating a domestic market. but
this would be to abandon the exploit
ing system, something the beneficf
aries Of a system will not do as lone
as it is only necessary to tell the peo
pie to cut each others throats to sus
tain it, and be answered by an un'
questioning obedience.
For a capitalist country to hope foI
peace, by refraining from paying atten
ton to military affairs, Is only to hide
it's head in the sand. A system of ex
ploitation can only be maintained by
physical force. War, bloody, fierce
and appalling, is inherent in such q
system. The road that leads from the
Jungle of bloodshed and butchery
leads to industrial democracy. This
the people will see in time, for see il
; they must, but till they do. whenever
the master class thinks their interests
served by war, they will hypnotic
them by false patriotism, change them
into martial maniacs and send them
out to mass murder the world.
