Politics and Prohibition.
he phllndelphia Pnblic Ledger

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Representative Logue, Of Philadei-
phia, apparently believes that If any
large proportion Of the people Of the
United states want to pass upon the
expediency of a national prohibition
amendment they ought to be allowed
10 do so; out it is clear that he is in
complete harmony also with the best
and most statesmanlike thought Of
the country in the regret that the
question should be made a political
issue. He is convinced that the ex-
ercise Of the police power should be
left, as at present. with the several
States. No one who knows Mr..
Logue's lifelong devotion to the cause
Of temperance can question the sim
eerity of his opposition to the liquor
traffic and the evils that are in its
train; nevertheless he is firm In his
conviction that the great progress
which has been made in the tenn
perance movement in the last few
years has been In spite Of, not in
consequence of, the injection of poll
Ties into the cause.
Politics has had nothing to do with
the growing policy of the great in
dustrial organizations to discourage
the use Of hquor among their en-
ployes. The movement is a moral
and social one, and it is only in those
States where prohibition has been
inseparably mixed with politics that
the spectacle is presented of prohib-
itory laws that are unsupported by
prevailing public opinion, and hence
are openly fiouted to the demoraliza-
rion of society. Growth in moral and
ethical stature is gained not by law
but, as Mr.. Logue expresses It, by
higher considerations.

A Hearty Response

Representative Cyrus Cline, of In
diana. is commonly known among
his fellow members Of Congress as
"Parson" Cline on account of his
ministerial frock coat and white tie
his usual costume.
Cline lives at hosiery which is
also the headquarters of the Indiana
delegation and much frequented by
people from that State. In the lobby
are frequently found at one time
many of the coming men of the
State.
One evening last winter Cline en-
tered the lobby after dinner and
called out in a loud voice: Governor
come over here, l want to talk a lit
tie politics with you"
Immediately six Indiana members
rose and started for Cline, among
them being Adair, Barnhart. Moss
and Dixon. This was decidedly en-
barrassing to the ''parson." who was
unable to show any preference, SO
the conference numbered six pros
pective Governors instead OF one

Per Capita Imports.

The per capita imports OF all Lat
in-American countries for 1912
amounted to 1869. The exports were
s21.12 per head. The imports were
within 1925 per head of the United
States, and the exports within S4,02
which is a very good showing. The
per capita trade of the Latin-Amer-
lean countries is ahead, far ahead,
of India, Japan. China, Austria Hun
gary, Russia. Italy, Spain, Portugal
Roumania, Bulgaria, Greece or Tur-
key, and in a number of countries
the per capita foreign trade exceeded
that of the United States and many
leading European countries. For in
stance, Argentine, In 1912, did a bust
ness of $1200S per head, of which
$53.41 was for imports and $66.67 for
exports.
The Uruguayan per capita trade
was S10012, $4925, for imports
and s50.S7 for exports, which speaks
well for this little nation. The
Chilean showing was s74S3 per head,
Of which S34.s7 were imports and
S39 Sc exports. If the true valuations
of the imports We're stated this would
augment the figures considerably. This
may be explained by the fact that
the customs usage prevails of arbi-
tary fixed valuations on certain i'm
ports. and the duty Is charged on
this valuation, regardless of whether
the true value is less or considerably
higher. 1t follows, Of course, that
more of the better grades are i'm
ported, as the duty is exactly the
same on the cheaper grades. In
Argentine the valuation of imports
would probably run 30 per cent.
higher than quoted.

Tariff for Revenue.

As all South American countries
are producers OF raw material and
importers of manufactured goods. the
tariffs are merely for revenue pur-
poses only, and in but a few in
stances are they to be construed as
of protective nature. Refined
sugar is a monopoly in some States,
while cheap cotton goods are pro-
tected in Brazil. The manufactured
articles are of the coarset kind and
cheapest. Tariffs do not in any way

Commerce Increasing Yearly.

The imports of South American
countries have increased yearly at
the rate of 1873 per cent, for the past
ten years, or a grand total OF 1900
per cent; while the exports average
l4.5 per cent. year, phenomenal

THE Billion Dollar Continent" it
might be called, if the imports of the
South American countries are any
criterion of the buying capacity of
its peoples. There are some who IN
sist that the growth of the German
sphere of influence led indirectly to
the great world conflict. However,
far-fetched as that may be, Germany
has certainly made wonderful strides
In capturing goodly portion of the
commerce of South America, cutting

Three Important Trade Points.

These import figures show a valu-
able feature from a selling stand
point. The bulk Of South American
business can be handled from three
points-Rlo, in Brazil; Buenos Ayres,
In Argentina, and Valparaiso or San
tiago, in Chile. At present Buenos
Ayres is the central point Of opera
ton for selling Argentina. Uruguay
and Paraguay Montevideo, in Uru-
quay, Is an important trade centre,
but tremendous business is done
with Uruguay by Buenos Ayres
houses, the friendliest of feelings ex-
listing between the two republics. The

ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE
TONOPAH PRINTING PLANT

The offices of the Tonopah Daily
Bonanza we're ~dynamited Monday
night. The damage sustained was
comparatively small. That it was no
worse was not the fault of the
scoundrelly instruments chosen for
the dark deed, says the Bonanza in
its report Tuesday of the incident.
They failed because of their gross ig-
noranee. THAT they were tools of
higher-ups must be conceded. In any
event the Bonanza is here to stay and
will continue to fight the battles OF
the people and insist on the enforce
ment of the principles of law ant
order for which the Bonanza has al
ways stood as the exemplar.
1.-THE county commissioners were
asked this morning to appoint two
special officers to watch the property
of the Bonanza for a few days. The
request was refused by Chairman
Davis, who said he had placed the
matter before the board, which was
then is session. and that they saw no
reason for complying with the re-
quest. This is the kind of a board
the people voted for at the primaries.
They show their sympathy with the
lawless element by refusing a rea-
sonable petition from two of the
heaviest taxpayers in the town of
Tonopah.
1.-The outrage occurred at 1910
O'Clock Tuesday morning. The shock
of the explosion aroused the entire
city. Large buildings in the bust
ness district rocked as though an
earthquake had shaken them from
their foundations. Even on the out
skirts, citizens were awakened to a
sense of some great peril and sprang
out of bed to ascertain the cause. The
Kendall block, a massive stone struc-
ture, in which the telephone Office Is
situated, trembled and the night
operator III the eAchdu5c vi Inv
ground flood thought the building
al falling.
"A bunch of dynamite placed un-
der the west corner of the Bonanza
job department on Ventra street had
been ignited. The corner of the
building, where a large cylinder press
is located, was blown into %splinters
and the interior badly damaged. The
walls were twisted and warped.
Timbers and boards were torn and
shredded, showing the intense force
employed, and the windows of the
