South American Trade.

Treasury department statistics show that
trade with South American countries has dou-
bled since the outbreak OF the war In Europe
In theory, the trade OF South America with out
side nations belongs to the United States in a
large measure, but facts have always COMPOUNDED
theory in this instance. The building up OF this
business has been the dream OF economists and
statesmen In the United States, the late James
@. Blaine fathering the first organized and sys-
tematic move TO divert It in this direction.
others have since done much, notably Elihu
Root, while secretary OF state but in spite of ali
this the South Americans have not traded with
us es much as natural tendencies would indicate
they would, though some progress has been
made. The war, however. has so disorganised
trade conditions In Europe that much OF the
business has been diverted to this country OBJ
tanning II now, however, is an easy proposition
compared with the one to follow--holdng II
after the war IL over. That European manufac-
turers will permanently surrender this rich field
without struggle 10 not to be supposed. but on
the contrary, the best opinion Is that with the
war ended these nations will seek out foreign
trade with greater energy than ever. They have
so wasted their own resources and domestic con-
suming power by the destruction OF war that
other outlets must be found for manufacturer
and IL will be a fight for existence with them
and American producers. II they would hold the
field must entrench themselves while they have
the opportunity or be compelled to surrender

II any one who speaks as a democratic
leader can look through rosy-hued spectaces
despite surrounding gloom, 1t is our many
times distinguished Nobraskan, William Jen-
nings Bryan. Thrice has our honored fellow
citizen been a disappointed candidate for pres-
dent but each time he has come back promptly
with the assurance that the prospects for demo-
cratic victory at the next election we're never
brighter.
Reading the signs OF the times today, how
ever, Mr.. Bryan is by no means assuring. The
elections OF 1916" he says in the latest issue
OF his Commoner, serve az warning TO the
democratic party. They indicate that the pro-
gressives have returned TO the regular republic
can party and the democrats can no longer hope
TO win by division in the ranks OF the opposi-
ton; neither can the democrats afford TO daily
with vital issues. In Massachusetts, our candi-
date for governor, an able man with splendid
official record, was defeated. In Kentucky the
democratic candidate, Congressman Stanley,
made an admirable record in congress and is a
great campaigner. but he was badly handicapped
by the position taken by the party"
But Mr.. Bryan never shuts the door OF hope
or fails TO find a rainbow strand somewhere.
while the elections contain a warming" he
adds there is no reason why a democrat
should be discouraged. II the party will take
up the reform work where IL was left at the last
congress. adopt cloture, proceed to carry out the
platform and add to its record economic
questions, Il has no reason to fear the cam
paign Of 1919. There. then, is DR.. Bryan's
prescription, freely offered to the democratic
party to cure It OF what ails 1t. II It does not
take the medicine according to directions II
must prepare for the worst. The only open
question is whether the admonition ito proceed
to carry out the platform includes the plank
pledging the nominee TO the principle OF a one
term presidency.

Some think I am the magic rod

In distant years when l shall come.
They fill their children's ears with tales

Ano many a man in anguish walls
That l have failed his worth to know.

Whether they travel, far or near,
