Another Industry.
(Troy TimesO

Development of another important American industry may be a result of the war. This country has been the chief source of supply for the seal skins which are finished into beautiful and costly garments. Heretofore the skins have been sent to London to be dressed. The Department of Com merce announces that establishments have been organized here in which the best known methods of dressing and dyeing raw. sealskins will be used. London is too busy in other ways tv give much attention to the seals6in business at present, and doing the finishing in the United States will not only make our people independent of outsiders but will reduce materially the cost of the finishing product. The department says: We have in the past sent out raw sealskins to London. We have paid London for dressing and dyeing them, and we have brought them back, paying duty on them on their return and the inciden- tai charge due to double transporta- ] tion." This is an interesting state
 ment. It shows what can be done by encouraging American industry. And there are many other lines of busi- ness which could be done here with proper encouragement and adequate protection. For instance, why should the United States send so much wool and cotton abroad, the raw material coming back as finished product, while the consumer pays the freight due to double transportation? ?"

Easing their estimates on the present volume of foreign trade, off, that the total exports of the United States for the current fiscal year will approximate nearly $4,0OO, 100000 thus smashing all previous records of sales abroad for a like period. Amer ican exports have grown by leaps and bounds. For the past ten years the United States has been on par in the value of exports. Now Amer ica leads the world May she never lose her balance.

"Trle Amel.icanism."
Chicago Evening Post.


 | Americans of German blood are | proud of pointing to the record which | those of their blood made in the ar mics of the Union during the Civil War.
 We should think they would be. That generation which fled Prussia after AS, the peoples last revolution for democracy, carried with them the inspiration for freedom of the North of that day fitted into the souls of those young Germans Its fight was really but continuation of the fight that had been lost at home.
 From it the North, in turn, received measure of reciprocal inspiration. And the North-indeed, the reunited edge this debt or to honor those Ger man exiles who had so nobly placed that debt upon us
 Among all these none stood out more signal1y than Carl Schurz. This young revolutionist saw Lincoln as the coming man at time when even the North was not alive to him. After the Douglas debate Schurz car- ried word to Milwaukee that this Lincoln was no "second or third rate man like Polk or Pierce,' but that he had a "lucid mind and honest heart"
 For Lincoln's election Schurz spoke constantly and effectively all through the campaign of 1860. The Germans everywhere voted as he led, and their vote was almost a decisive factor In the defeat of Doug glas.
 It was during this campaign that it fell to Carl Schurz to make in Faneuil Hall in Boston, a speech on "True Americanism." And it is from this speech that we would today quote but one paragraph which we would recommend to all those of his blood who are a part of his adopted country today:
 American citizens, having sworn exclusive allegiance to the I/ited States, not one of them should ever forget that this republic has a right to expect of all it's adopted citizens, as to their attitude toward public af- fairs, especially questions of peace or war, the loyal and complete subor- dination of the interests of their na- tive countries to the interests of the United States
 These are the words of the first American citizen of German birth to become a Senator of the Un1ted States. They come down to us across 1 half century to day when German Americans are pointing with defensive pride to their record in the sos.
 We are glad to have them point to it. It is heritage of all of us as well as of their own. But While they are pointing to their gallant deeds, may they always point, also, to the inspiration that was back of those deeds. May they take unto their hearts and apply in their acts today Carl Schurz's definition of '"True Americanism."

upon in the catalogue-old songs are now and then purchased, and played. Then does fragrant sentiment come into the room. Annie Laurie" Little Sally Walker" Tn the Gloaming," There is Tavern in a Town," "Jin- gle Bells" the old plantation songs and others-how, when sung thus at nightfall these days, they move and soften. They are not filled with the feverish barbarities of syncopation, and indeed, have nothing of such sort at all. They are heartachey. They are words of wholesome sentime ent, not crude slang. They are dripping sweet. They are just old songs.

Movies of Yale Life.
tNew Haven Register. ]

Perhaps as an antidote to the wild visions of "Stover" and that older Harry" who had a "career" at Yale. it may not be a bad idea to have some authentic pictures of Yale in I,1otion to present to those interested to view them. Anyhow, the Alumni Advisory board has thought so, and some time since appointed a commit tee to arrange such series. An nouncement is made that the series is now ready, and includes such views as: Building the Bowl; Football; a Team in the Making; the Junior Promenade; Dramatics; the Iphigenia Presentation at the Bowl; Reunions; Baseball; The Commencement Process sion; A Boat Race on the Thames.
 It is the expectation that these views will be much in demand by alumni associations and preparatory schools, and that they will serve to advertise Yale's attractions. Indeed. the committee is even optimistic enough to hope that there will be a demand for ther films of other features of Yale life. It is not an un- desirable hope, perhaps not unwar- ranted. Probably we all are des- tined, sooner or later, to come at last to moving pictures. So Yale could. hardly hope to escape the common fate The experience cannot ma terially harm the university; it Is con- ccivable that Yale may be helped thereby. The difficulty will be, prob ably, that unless there are some "Whiffenpoffs'' Or other descriptions C, college vaudeville to enliven the Yale life pictures, those who should be interested in them will soon be yelling Get the hook"

 William Shay, prohibition candidate for governor of Massachusetts, talks (after the election) like a man dis appointed in an ambition He might with profit emulate the graceful mag nanimity of Governor Walsh. If the voters of the state lacked faith of Shaw's wild campaign statements about the interests that control the republican party, it is hardly to be expected that they will give credence to them now the campaign is ended.

Just Old Songs.

There is a magician abroad in the land today who is doing his little best to turn the love of the people away from syncopated music and back to the songs of yesterday. He goes un- der various names and the photo graph is his ancestor. Youth and ignorance of the yesterday fight against him. Youth wants those re- corded songs which it knows and which are had by it's fellows. Igno- rance does not know that yesterday had songs. These two combine to purchase records But by one means or another-gifts of friends, occa- sional bursts of old songs are come
