Records Show Trade Balance Due to War

washington, Sept 5. Especial Corre-
spondence.) The belated summary Of
the department Of commerce for the
month OF June, 1915. DEMONSTRATES be-
yond all possibility OF controversy that
the favorable trade balance. which has
made America the financial center OF
the world, was due to the war in Eu-
rope. Thus statistics from his own de-
partment disprove the assertion made
by Secretary Redfield last February
that our growing foreign trade was not
due to war orders.
War Ia Europe was declared July 81,
1914, and in September orders from the
beligerents for war material began TO
reach this country. In an address be-
fore the chamber OF commerce OF the
United States in February, after the
war orders had been coming here for
more than five months. Secretary Red
field extolied the growth Of our for
eign trade under the Democratic admin
istration and said: 81 beg Of you. gen
tlemen, NOT to be persuaded by the
daily news columns of the press into
the belief that our foreign trade lies
chiefly in what we may call. for lack
of better name. war orders That
IL not so.''
Instead OF discrediting the news col
urnns OF the press. Mr.. Redfield has
himself been discredited. by the rec
onds OF his own department. To show
that this is so, let us hook at the ex-
port figures for a group OF those COM
modities which properly come under
the definition Of "munitions." as given
by the standard dictionary. viz; "am-
munition and all necessary war material
including stores OF every kind" for the
period from September. 1914. to June,
1915, compared with the same period
for 1894, when peace prevailed
throughout Europe. Money values are

loas OF revenue. increased taxes and no
reduction In the cost OF living. That
was where the Democrats landed us
when the war began. Apart from the
artificial trade conditions created by
the war. that Is where we are today.

frankly. with the old toast. My coun-

neither. IL ordered arms out OF the

with these words Senator Lodge helps
rescue great issue from the engulf-
ing waves OF an hysterical propaganda
which Democratic politicians have Gre
ated and maintained for partisan adj

j. b. Green of the United Mining

the horty bar on the Salmon river.
The plant is being installed by Seattle
and Spokane capitalists and 1t is ex-

early IN the winter. Mr. Green INSTALL
ed a demonstration plant on the Snake
river below Charleston early this year
and the operation of the new equip

Lewiston Tribune.
Mr.. Green arrived in the city We'd

statement. with some little qualifica-
tons The plant referred to is one of
Mr.. Green's patented gold saving ma
chimes for placer mining. and was ship
ped here with the purpose OF INSTALL

tween them they succeeded In killing
the Democrats party in this state.
Moses Alexander was elected governor
because he had an "easy mark to
run against. He does not owe his
election to either Hawtey or Nugent,
and this cheap claptrap about Nugent

Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1915-01-21
THE WEARING MEMBERS"

The Saturday News, having stated that one tremendous OBJ
stacle encountered by men who seek social reformation lies in the
fact that Vice reaps a financial profit out of the conditions which 1t
creates, where's there is no direct and immediate apparent financial
remuneration in simply being good," the Brooklngs Home Messen-
ger, edited by George N. Breed, says, in part:
stThe above, taken from the pen of Frank j. Cory, bears
more than ordinary weight, because the writer has for years
been employed in attempting to make the world better be-
cause of his existence"
1t il feared that a lifelong friendship has caused Brother Breed
to pay an altogether too high compliment to Mr.. Cory, who has been
doing more or less writing for the Saturday News for the past year,
and especially within the past few months.
But the fact is obvious that a great many people are inclined to
shift responsibility for doing certain things which they perceive
should be done.
There is also another fact which tends to discount such work as
the Deadwood editor has undertaken (the Saturday News was COM
menting on the Deadwood situation in the article to which our
Brookings friend refers), and that is that the human mind is, rather
slow to recognize the need of changes. What has been and contin-
mes to be lis accepted as the natural order of things. Haste in this as
I'm some other things sometimes makes waste, so far as accomplish
ing Immediate results are concerned whatsoever the eventual out

We think there has been Improvement in substantially all of our
rwestern communities. Sioux Falls, we think, has shown marked
progress in regard to those things of which the Deadwood editor has
complained. Watertown, too, as we view the situation, has changed
for the better, while Brookings is conceded on all hands to be one
of the eleanest cities in the state, a fact for which the hundreds OF
Ii the course Of time Deadwood will emulate the example Of
many other cities of the state and Of the northwest. Bad as Dead
wood Is portrayed, we believe it has been worse, and We think it
will become better.

Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1915-01-21
THE RICHARDS PRIMARY LAW.

The Saturday News is not especially interested in the Richards
primary law. Whether it remains intact on the statutes or whether
is repealed or amended matters but little to the Saturday News.
But it wishes to caution the members of the legislature with
regard to rushing into an effort to repeal it or to make radical
changes in it's provisions.
The people of this state, and Of the northwest, have felt for
years that the oldline party conventions deprived the rank and file
of opportunities to assert themselves with respect to party nomina-
tons. They demanded and finally secured the primary. They are
not likely to reinquish the hold they have secured in debating what
their respective parties shall do in the matter Of selecting nominees.
The Richards law may be cumbersome. We grant that it is.
We grant that it is likewise somewhat expensive. But the point is
that it affords the rank and file the right to dictate party nominal
tons. If the people who pay the taxes are willing to stand the ex-
pense of conducting the primaries, that's their business.
The democratic committee, under the leadership of Mr.. Cofey,
who is something of a politician, sought to change the Richards law
by initiating a substitute. The people, acting under their sovereign
rights as electors, rejected the democratic committees offering.
We are not altogether satisfied with the Richards law, but we
prefer to retain = rather than to wipe it out without knowing what
sort of a scheme we shall get as a substitute.
We admit that we must have government by parties, within
reasonable restrictions, and we recognize that party organizations
are necessary so long as we continue representative government.
We do not need to repeal the Richards law to remedy its de
fects. We need rather to strengthen it, to simplify some of its com
pick provisions, to make party organization and party adhesiveness
a little easier to maintain, with possible curtaiment of expense along
certain ilnes-thats about all the changes we need for the present, ii
occurs to us. ##
The system of nominations by primary has come to stay-to stay
until some better system shall be devised. We shall not return to
the old method of nominating through conventions. That's out O
date, out of harmony with the spirit of the times-in short, it's out
lawed. L.
