LATIN.AAdERICAN TRADE.

Committees interested in the promo.
ton Of trade between the United
States and Latin-America are hard al
work. Their activity is no new thing
as able and earnest men have Ions
been engaged in this work. John
Barrett. who perhaps knows more
about South and Central America and
their trade and needs than any othe,
man in this country, has been an en-.
thusiast in this work, and he is now
engaged in it.
A committee which has been a,
work for some time has recently made
a report Of its work and conclusions
Briefly. 1t believes that the greatest
and most important needs at this time
for the stimulation of this trade are
better banking facilities and system.
attic salesmanship.
For the improvement of the mat.
ter Of exchange there is proposed the
ultimate creation of q discount mar.

ing institutions and the establishment
Of reciprocal balances in the United
States ana the southern countries.
In the matter of salesmanship, the
committee recommends that addition.
al support be given to commission
houses already in the field, the for
nation Of associations of merchants
and manufacturers to be Jointly rep
resented in Latin America, and the
collection Of information relative to
the possibilities for developing retail
trade in the large southern cities
One Of the things which must be
learned by those Of our business men
who seek trade in foreign countries ie
that people like to do business in their
own language and according to their
own customs. All other things being
equal, the business man will succeed
best in a foreign country who can
carry on his business in the language
of his customers rather than his own,
and who will recognize in his styles
and packages and everything else, not
only the actual needs. but the prefer
ences and even the whims of his Gus
toners.

GOOD ROADS EVERYWHERE.

Milwaukee Is to have a good roads
congress on the last three days Of this
month. The territory to be represent.
ed includes the adjacent states, in
cluding North Dakota. 1t is expect
ed that the gathering will be a large
one. and that additional impetus will
be given to the work Of improving the
highways of the country.
Two things are needed in the mat
ter Of road building and maintenance.
first, real recognition Of the i'm
portance Of good roads. and second,
knowledge Of how to construct and
maintain them.
For a great many years the country
roads Of the United States will be
built Of the material right on the
ground. or that which can be obtained
with short haul. The states out OF
the great alluvial valleys are fortunate
in that they have supplies Of road ma.
terial Of splendid quality either on
the ground or near at hand. Sand,
gravel. rock. everything that is needed
can be obtained with slight expense.
This is true of some sections Of our
own state. but not of all. Some good
work has been done in graveling roads
In the Red River valley. A consider
able portion of the road between
Grand Forks and Larimore has been
put in fine condition by the intelli-
gent use of gravel, thanks to the en-
terprise of city people and farmers
along the way. Between East Grand
Forks and Crookston the entire road
will soon be graveled. and that which
is completed in splendid shape. But
this is not possible everywhere. for
there are limits beyond which the
hauling of road material is not practi-

A CHANCE FOR THE A1RsH1p.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: A great
deal of comment growing out of the
German capture of Antwerp is the
merest speculation. Only the men
who planned the movement and con-
Quoted the assault are capable of tell
ing us just what they propose doing
with their victory. The shortness of
the siege. as we said shortly following
the surrender. probably ended forever
the old habit Of confining thousands
Of troops in fortified cities which 1t
is hoped to hold for long periods of
time against besieging forces. The
most important contribution to the
science of war the Germans may al
ready claim as result Of their Ant
werp victory. Even the laymen can
see this much. AS to immediate, or
near. military results. the newspaper
writer's who are dubbed expert" vary
widely in their conclusions, as they al
ways do. for the excellent reason that
none of them really knows more than
any other one Of them.
Their nearest point of agreement is
in the opinion that Antwerp will be
used as base Of aerial warfare to
be directed against London. But why
only against London, or, at least. why
against London first? If Antwerp can
be used successfully as a Zeppelin
base, It would be natural to conclude
that the most important use of the
great balloons would be against those
transport ships and their conveys.
which about this time must be getting
numerals in crossing from British to
Belgian or French shores. That would
appear to be the most clearly indicat-
ed use Of great Zeppelin fleet. oper.
ating around Antwerp as a base.
Dropping a few bombs in London
would be child's play compared with
the important work Of preventing
Great Britain from landing her large
army of newly drilled recruits on the
south shores Of the English chanel.
In such an undertaking would came
the first great test Of aerial warfare.
The two months campaigning has not
impressed US overmuch with the val
ue Of this arm of the service of any
one Of the armies now in the field.
There have been daring exploits. ad-
mirable in the highest degree. There
have been most heroic sacrifices Of
life by men knowing that they were
going to death. But there has been
nothing counting for great results in
war, and least Of all do we like the
dropping Of bombs in cities not under
siege. We must await some deed Of
magnitude in order to be able to ap-
praise the value Of aircraft in war
fare. Let Zeppelin fleets blockade the

Later-McGover comes back at La
Toilette with a scorcher. He charges
that no person is so much at fault for
our high taxes as LaFollette, from the
fact that he gave directions from Wash
ington with references to every !egis-
lative move at the last session; that his
orders were obeyed to the letter; that
his purpose was to put McGovern in a
political hole; that LaFollette was will
ing to bankrupt the state and ruin the
republican party if he could but vent
his spite and luminosity and personal
hatred on the governor. MeGovern
makes it good and hot and intimates
that he is not through telling the truth
about his old friend Bob.
1t is an interesting sketch of contro-
versy between the principal officials of
the commonwealth, displaying a grade
of dignity that would reflect honor on
two horse jockeys or fallen-out pals in
game of .hold-up. And the dear peo-
pie pay for it all. These are self-ap-
pointed guardians of the people, the
men who make political states and label
them progressive government. "

TIE PRoDDING HAS COMMENCED:
LA TOILETTE Mc'GovERN WARFARE

LA FOLLbI Tk-MCGOVERN WARFARE
The campaign charges and recrimin-
atoms between the LaFoIlette and Nc
Govern political machines has opened.
From his throne in Washington TAT $40,
600 per year, LaFollette throws bomb
at McGovern. The attack is made
through LaFollette's magazine, where
in all manner of responsibility for
excessive taxation and outrageous ap-
preparations at the late legislative SEES
sion is laid at the door of McGovern.
The fact that the legislative body, both
houses, was owned, soul and breeches,
and bossed by him from Washington
through little Ekern, is not made ack-
nowledgment of by the senator in his
attempt to shift responsibility wholly
upon McGOvern. Neither does LaFol-
lette admit what the people too well
know, that the entire session was de-
voted to petty political jockeying, one
faction against the other, with no
thought of the public welfare or ex-
pense to taxpayers. The disgraceful
and expensive sparring is a scandal
both to LaFollette and McGovern and
their immediate campfollowers, and
the whole mess should be punished by
an indignant people. Continuation of
either of these factions in high official
stations in Wisconsin means positively
further increase in state expenses and
added tax burdens. If there is ever re-
lief to come to our people it must be
through other channels. Leaders on
neither side of this factional dog fight
care not whit for the tax. payer, for
in the main these leaders are not tax
payers; they are politicians who have
no reputation except as small fellows
who make politics and office holding a
business, and in that sense they are pro-
fessionals.
That LaFollette is playing the game
desperately is apparent. He holds Nc
Govern responsible for everything. Has
it occurred to the politicians that the
acknowledgements must sign all bills
passed by both houses Of the legisla-
ture before they go to the governor for
final approval? Is it recorded any
where that Thomas Morris, the pres
emit lieutenant governor raised objection
on any occasion to bills that came to
him for his signature? Has it occurred
to any one that Mr., Lakoliette's per-
sonsl candidate for United States SEN
ator against Governor McGovern is
Lieutenant Governor Thomas Morris.
who signed and passed on to the gov
ernor for final action the whole erist
of bad bills ground out by the last two
legislatures?
And what change has come over
the dreams of my eountrymenl Two
months ago one who dared to intimate
that anything WAS wrong in taxation in
Wisconsin was due for pummeling
from some poppenjay on the payroll
of the state. Now LaFollette tells that
all is wrong, and not candidate dares
to aspire to any position without de-
claring for lower taxation. LaFollette
and the whole smear fear the people
will bury them all and they are trying
to get from under. McGovern must be
the goat
