COURT DAMAGES

Syracuse. N. Y, Dec. %. Former
President Theodore Roosevelt today
was allowed SLAP against William
Barnes, republican leader. as costs
and disbursements in the recent trial
in this city when the jury dismissed
the $4,000 libel suit brought by
Barnes.
1t was agreed by attorneys that Mr..
Roosevelt could have exacted $4,000
more. because of the extraordinary
length of the trial, but he asked only
the actual court costs incurred.
Justice Andrews, who tried the
case, also signed new order refusing
to set aside the jury verdict and deny

was putting UP the cash, it is needless
but an obituary" notice
Not the least amusing feature of
the whole affair was the fact that the
peace expedition itself furnished pref
| ty good evidence that the time is not
yet ripe for the men Of the world to
! live together unarmed and unafraid
The peace advocates quarrelled con.
tinually and at times almost came to
blows, while heated words were ex.
changed daily. The peace delegates
! had at times to be restrained from
| violence and yet they were going over
to preach the doctrine that war is
unnecessary
The Courier is against war and
sincerely hopes that this country
will never have to call out it's men TO
protect its institutions from the men
of some other nation. But The Cour-
Ter realizes that nations are no bet
ter than the men who make them up
and proof is abundant every day to
show there are plenty of men who
must be restrained by force and
against whom there must be armed
preparation
The Courier knows there are some
dangers which one cannot escape by
merely shutting ones eyes to them.
The Courier also knows that is the
ordinary fate and standing of the
"peacemaker' in family of national
quarrel and is glad that Ford aban-
doned his expedition while it was
in the Joke stage and before it had
succeeded in arousing the ire of all
Europe against the whole United
States.

BY neutral markets We understand
the markets Of countries which are
common trade territory for all export
ing nations. Usually we mean South
America and the Orient. although
nthere are other sections OF the world
which come under this designation.
in neutral markets all countries sell
under substantially similar conditions
and the trade Is to the one which can
give the best terms and best meet the
requirements OF the consumers. That
will be the situation when the world
war has dragged itself to finish It
harks back to commercial prepared
ness.
What the United States has gained
in South America, for instance, be-
cause OF the interruption OF the regu-
lar currents of commerce to and from
Europe and the interference with the
markets of Germany and other Del
ligerents which are shut of the seas
and what further trade 1t may gain
during hostillties, must be held in open
competition, under equal conditions.
when peace arrives.
The gain has not been phenomenal.
Our national habit of boasting and the
official habit Of self-exploitation have
spread wrong impression in regard
to the growth of our South American
trade. The official statistics are bulle-
tined as showing phenomenal IN.
crease In our shipments to several OF
the South American countries during
the current. calendar year. 1t is the
transparent trick Of shuffling the sta
tistical cards so that whichever is
wanted comes uppermost.
Boastfully 1t is given out that in the
first nine months Of 1914 our exports
to the Argentine Republic were frac-
tionally under 500, OO0,0O and to Brazil
little less than $40 100000, while dur
ing the same period in 1915 our ex-
ports to the Argentine Republic were
$Ss, 100000 and to Brazil s26,O00,OO0.
This is blazoned as wonderful In
crease in our trade. But bare statistics
of this kind instead of being the naked
truth, are half-clad falsehoods.
The exports from the United States
to Argentina and Brazil during the
first nine months Of 1915 We're less
than the exports during the same
period OF 1918. The prosaic but
useful volume known as the Summary
of Foreign Commerce discloses that
during the first nine months Of 1913

DEATH FOLLOWS

Centerville, Dec. Ex-senator L. l..
Taylor died Monday afternoon, aged
II years, the result OF fall on the Ice
a week before when he broke his hip.
1t was thought he was making salts
factory recovery till Monday fore
noon when he had a relapse and
something resembling a paralytic
stroke, from which he did not rally.
He was one Of the best known citizens
Of Appanoose county, coming here in
an early day. He was a democrat in
politics but popular in all parties. He
was elected to the state senate twice,
in 1904 and 1908, from the Appanoose-
Davis district. He had large property
interests and had been elected presi-
dent of the new Commercial State
Savings bank which is to open soon.
He was prominent leader in the
Christian church in his home county

amounted to $41;00O,0O0 and to Brazil
to more than $31 900, 900. II the full
calendar year of 1915 shows totals
equal to 1913 1t will be doing unexpect-
eddy we'll. There has been no gain.
II should not be concluded from this
showing that we have made no real
progress in extending our trade with
South America. We have advanced in
the fundamentals. We have been en-
gagged in a campaign OF education, one
feature Of which was to caution man
ufacturers in the United States against
exporting to South America until they
knew the markets. Many Of them now
do understand and are making initial
shipments.
There are certain permanent obstac-
les, however, that they must be prepar-
ed to meet One Of these IL that South
America Is promising dumping
ground for Europe. The South Amer
lean countries are not manufacturing
countries. Consequently they have no
objection to dumping. 1t II 70 their in
terest to encourage international com
petition OF this kind.
The American manufacturers who
have been preparing to enter the
South American markets systematic
ally and intelligently know that when
the war ends they will have to meet
dumping, They know that no action
OF their own government can prevent
1t, since we have no control over the
fiscal policies Of the South American
countries. But the manufacturers feel
that their government can put them In
better position to meet this form OF
competition by placing them on equal
terms with their competitors who are
allowed to combine In selling goods in
foreign markets. It Is this which gives
force to the federal trade commissions
studies of amendments to the anti
trust laws which will leave the manu-
facturers and exporters in no doubt as
to their right to form selling combina-
lions. If the word combine" Is too
much for political susceptibilities or
for partisan platforms the word Co
operate may be substituted.
Cooperative selling organization
is an excellent term. It Is one means
of extending the trade of the United
States in neutral markets. 1t is also
a means OF placing the small manufac-
turer at home on something like equal
terms with the great export corpora
tons who are engaged in foreign
trade.

Selling Feed

fore known. In fact farmers are
still hauling corn into market. This
rather unusual condition is explain
ed by one good farmer thus:
1t is only of recent years that the
farmers of Hand county have learn
ed that they don't have to grow
wheat alone to get money. In fact
they can usually make more out Of
other products, which now sell just
about as radily as wheat.
This may conflict with the old idea
of feeding up all food stuff raised
on the farm. But that is no arb.
trary law Of farm life. To the
Press notion a man may make a
success by cutting out wheat pro-
duction altOgether-in fact he had
better cut it out rather than riase
wheat exclusively. But all history,
Of every known locally thoroughly
establishes the fact that mixed pro-
ducts are better than exclusive pro-
ducts. AID the more mixed the
better. Likewise all experience
shows that where a direct compari-
son is made between the wheat far
mer and the diversified farmer it is
all to the good Of the latter.
Make the comparison Yourself and
corrobOrate this. Pick out a half
dozen farmers who have exclusive
ly, or even largely. raised wheat
alone, and compare them with SIX
others Of your acquaintance who
have diversified with mixed crops,
live stock and dairyIng.
However. to revert to the original
question Of selling feed. it looks like
a secondary consideration, for the
man who raises feed, will surely
raise live stock. If he sells some
of his feed crop, it will be his sur
plus.
