this end. First, an public mind;
second. competition. and third, the CEN
sors. The moving picture producers have
nothing good to say of the censors,
and doubtless they have been re-
sponsible for some unnecessary hard
ships, but the producers must not for
get that they themselves were respon-
sible for the censorship laws. Had
they not attempted to put before the
people films of worse than question
able character nobody would have
thought of censorship. Possibly in
the end censors may become unneces-
sary. But public taste is not sufficient
ly discriminating and the ideals of the
film makers are not all so high that 1t
would be safe to do away with the
censors at this time. If the producers
are wise they will quietly submit to
the law until censorship dies natural
death, as it appears certain to do.

Harrisburg

A powerful cry is heard from New
York State to deepen the Hudson
River Channel" and in support OF this
cry the Knickerbocker Press has issued
a big Hudson Ship Channel and National
Waterways Development edition setting
forth the views of Governor Whitman
former Governor Glynn, Peter ]. Ten
Eyck and many other leaders in the
State, all strongly advocating direct
and effective measures to carry out the
project. Men who have interested
themselves in the proposition claim
that. to increase the depth of the river
from Hudson to the new dam at Troy
from twelve to twenty-seven feet (the
river being sufficiently deep from New
York to Hudson), thus bringing the
ocean to one end of the Erie Canal,
would be to accomplish a feat of
national Importance in its results, and
would make Albany, Troy and other
cities along the river inland seaports
as great or greater than Antwerp and
Hamburg in Europe. The request for
$4,000 appropriation to cover the cost
of the survey appears reasonable
enough. and the authorities at Albany
feel that inasmuch as New York State
has spent over s2OO,OOOOO0 digging
bitches for herself, she is justified in
asking the Government to pay for dig
ging this channel, on the ground that
the s150,00O.O10 which. according to
Mortimer G.. Barnes, consulting engi-
neer and expert on waterways, will be
required to finance the project, will be
entirely repaid in twenty-five years in
savings to shippers.

AFTER THE WAR

TDWARD F. McSWEENEY, of
T. Boston, chairman of the direc-
tors of the port, presented a
report at the convention of port au-
thorities which has just been in session
at Los Angeles, in which he deals with
some features of our export business
which have hitherto escaped attention.
He regards our present export trade
as proceeding under an artificial stim-
ulation, and points out that of the
present billion dollar trade balance in
our favor over $500, 100000 are ex-
ports solely for war munitions-am-
munition, horses, auto trucks, army
shoes, foodstuffs, etc.-trade which
will cease the instant the war comes
to a close. This leaves a balance of
only 100000, 900 of exports of what
might be termed regular merchan-
dise"-an export smaller than that of
any year since 1909, and almost $780,
OOO,0 less than in the year before
the war. Says the report:
Comparing the present year of ex-
ports from the United States with
that of the year before the war;
we find we have exported only 80
per cent. as much agricultural i'm
plements. So per cent much
sewing machines and S3 per cent.
as much steel rails. The most
lamentable fact in connection with
these figures is that we are los
ing as much, IL not more, to the
countries which are not at war as
to those which have given up do
mestic pursuits TO take up armed
conflict
The report continues to say that
last years figures show that our sew
ing machine export trade in 1915 was
only "a per cent. of the 1914 figures, to
South America but 20 per cent. and to
all of Africa, Asia and the Pacific Is
lands it was but 50 per cent. of the
previous year.
Our exports of the staple merchan-
disc which we hope to sell under nor
NAL conditions after war are smaller
by a large percentage in practically
everything except war orders, and we
are losing our export trade much
faster to the neutral countries than to
the belligerent ones.

THE NEW MEAT law

IF the health authorities are really
serious in their announced inten-
ton of putting into full effect the
provisions of the new meat hygiene
law forbidding the exposing of meat
to flies and to promiscuous han
ding. there is plenty of work cut out
for them right here in Harrisburg
There is no reason to doubt the sin
cerity of the State Livestock Sanitary
Board and it is to be presumed that
the officials in charge mean exactly
what they say when they give notice
to the butchers and meat dealers Of
the State that they must either obey
the law or be prosecuted.
The manner in which meats are eX-
posed to contamination in the market
houses of Harrisburg is a scandal and
q shame. Not only meats, but all
manner of foods. Only a semblance
of an effort is made to keep the flies
from them and the cuts are so dis
played as to tempt prospective GUS
toners to handle them.
There is absolutely no excuse for
this. The practice is not only filthy,
but dangerous to public health. The
dealers know this and so do their
patrons, but the butchers have gone
on selling and the public continues to
buy-that is, a majority of the public
does, for there is a fastidious minority
that refuses to have anything to do
with meats that have been subjected
to such exposure.
The fact that people tolerate an evil
does not mitigate it. The State off,
cials will find the people far from
complaining if suits are brought in
Harrisburg.
