WAS AN AIR CASTLE

Judging by the following from the
Palatka Item, and some other
things we wot of, the plan of big
central commercial college in Ocala
was a castle in the air:
Palatka Business College to Enlarge
Premises
Arrangements have been complet-
ed to retain the Palatka Business
College in the city. AS is generally
known. Prof. Land opened up a
school in Ocala, and leading citizens
there offered to subscribe certain
amount OF money provided the pro-
lessor made Ocala his headquarters
and that he would put up a dorm
itory. The proposal looked good to
him, but since he has already been
over a year in this city and has be-
come established, he felt that he
should give Palatka the benefit OF
making a similar offer in which case
he would remain here. Mr.. Land
contention is that the cost of living
is too high in this city, and as a
consequence unless he could have a
dormitory, ETC., here he cannot get
the number of outside students he
is entitled to. This matter he put
before some of our citizens and as a
result sufficient amount of cash has
been subscribed to induce Mr.. Land
TO remain here and to give up the
with two schools on his hands he can
do justice to neither. The moving
spirits in the undertaking are w.

CANADA PLEASED

About two years ago the North
western country was terribly wrought
up, over President Taft's reciprocity
program. Under the Taft plan the
same concessions were made the AM
erican people in return for the free
shipment of Canadian products into
America. The Herald editor was not
IN favor of the reciprocity move be-
cause of the hardship it would entail
on the farmers of this section. A
short time ago a new tariff law was
enacted which permits Canada to ship
her produce into this country by the
payment of only a nominal duty, but
there is no reciprocal arrangement as
proposed by Mr.. Taft. The new law
has been enacted without any fuss or
misrepresentation. The following
news item from Ottowa, Can, recently
appearing in the Winnipeg Free Press
indicates in no unmistakable terms
that the Canadians are very well
pleased with the workings of the new
law:

THE SIXTH DISTRICT SITUATION

When we first began the study of
snort hand and type writing, more
years agone than we care to remem-
her, there was one phrase that we
were required TO type over and over
again until it was scared on our men,
ory and we could write it in our sleep
and that was: 'Now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of
their party" At the present time this
occurs to us with startling signi-
figance The national administration,
in every department is under the con-
troll of a political party under whose
administration the nation has never
prospered and while this great coun-
try of ours has reached such a mag
nitude, that no political party, or the
administration can precipitate a
panic; those days have gone by never
to return. There is no doubt howev-
er, that the character of the admins
tration has an effect on business and
on the general prosperity of the coun-
try. The key note of good times is con-
idence; confidence in every branch
Of the government, and the moment
that confidence is lessened or dissipat-
ed every department Of business suf-
fers to q greater or less extent.
1t is unquestioned that the Republi-
can party and the administration Of
the Republican party has the conf
ience of the business of the country
because under its administration the
country has been wonderfully pros
porous. 1t is equally true that the
Democratic party does not possess
this confidence because under its ad-
painistration the country has been less
prosperous and while no panic is
pending at the present time, there is
a, general depression of business
which is going to continue indefinitely.
The Sixth district of Minnesota is a
Republican district; it does not believe
in nor stand for the recent Democratic
tariff or financial legislation. Yet it
is not now, nor has it been for the last
four years, represented by a republic
can in Congress.
In the coming congressional election
it is the duty of the Republicans to
get together and agree on candidate
that is in sympathy with the senti-
ment of the district, and then all get
behind him and see that he is nomin-
ated

customs, throw some interesting
light on the present fiscal situa-
ton. The effect Of the Underwood
= tariff act Is reflected in the very
considerable increase in exports
as compared with the movement
for the corresponding month Of
last year. This Is especially true
in agricultural produce, where
the marked increase in exports
shows the drain resultant upon
tariff reductions On the other side.
!, Thesdeerease in imports is ale
most correspondingiy great, and
no doubt Is an indication that
during the present hard times the
high Canadian duties on certain
classes Of commodities are in a
sense almost prokibitive.
Domestic agricultural products
exported in November last total
led $33,417,000, which is an in
crease of nine millions over the
corresponding month last year.
Nearly eight million dollars worth
of domestic animals and their pro-.
ducts left Canada, principally for
the United States market, last
month, as against less than five
millions worth during November
of last year. s'''iS5>
That the highly protected Ca
madam manufacturers which fear
American competition on this side
are not afraid to invade the Amer
lean market, and have taken adj
vantage Of the fact that agricut-
tural implements, etc., are now on
the free list over there, is evident
from the fact that there has been
an increase Of over a million dol
lars in the export of domestic
manufacturers during November
of this year.
Imports for November show
considerable decrease, as COM
pared with last year.Exclusive of
coin and bullion, the total imports
for November were fifty million,
as against fifty-nine mil ion last
year, decrease Of nine million
dollars with corresponding de
crease in revenue. The greatest
decrease proportionally was on
dutiable goods.
For the eight months ending
November the total imports al
ready show a decrease Of nearly
five and a half millions. For De-
cember it is expected that there
will be an even more consider
able decrease.
1t is expected that the last
month of the year may show a de-
crease also in exports, owing to
the drain upon supplies made by
the American market during Oc-
tober and November.

TRADE BOARD
ACT COMMENDED
Fair Play League Says There Is
Growing Sentiment Against
English.

Rev. Max a. L. Hirsch said last
night in st. Panls German Lutheran
Church at a meeting OF the Fair Play
League, OF which he is chairman, that
he could see a growing sentiment
against the domineering attitude Of
Great Britain. He cited the passage
of resolutions by the Newark Board
of Trade In reference TO interference
with American shipping as an evi-
dence of a changing sentiment.
The publicity committee reported
that the petition to be sent to Con-
gress, in which the league will ask
for an investigation Of alleged
breaches of neutrality. will soon be
ready. The petition will deal with
the subject Of furnishing supplies TO
the allies by manufacturers OF this
country to enable them TO continue
the war. To push such an investiga-
ton has been promised the league by
Congressman r. Wayne Parker when
a delegation of the league visited him
recently.
The members listened to the read
ing of a letter received by an ac-
quaintance of Rev. Hirsch, whose
brother Is serving in the GeTInah
army. In this letter it was told that
the Belgians systematically engaged
in sniping and that only the severest
measures carried out, after all other
means had failed, enabled 70 safe
guard the German troops.
Theodore Groedel. of Hoboken. told
that his brother, physician In Nau-
helm, had stated in a recent letter
that he had treated many cases
where dum-dum bullets were found
lodged in the wounds Of the German
soldiers.
Mr.. Groedel, who came as a visitor,
was accompanied by George Bueck-
ing, a German manufacturer. The
latter, who is jfifty-four years old,
related that following his visit to
this country he was taken prisoner
by the English on his return trip
TO Germany. While his wife was al
lowed to go. he was only released
after influential friends had inter-
ested themselves and then only on
the promise that he would return
to this country and not to Germany.
