ENGLISH SWEDISH
TRADEMEN ARE NO
NEARER VERDICT

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. "a
The English-Swedish commission
which has for two months been striv-
ing to adjust the trade differences be-
tween the two countries, is no nearer
satisfactory solution of the dispute
than at the beginning of its session.
Meanwhile, over twenty-five million
dollars worth of supplies for Russia
which she urgently needs, have ac-
cumulated in Sweden, owing to this
country's refusal to allow the transit
of goods to Russia until England has
modified her demands regulating the
amount of Sweden's imports.
The resumption of the meetings Of
the commission after an adjournment
which followed apparently Intellectual
attempts to arrive at an understanding
has reawakened fresh interest in the
trade question which is for the mo-
ment the most widely discussed topic
in sweden. Hope is generally express
ed that a compromise will be effected
which will result in more friendly re-
lations between England and Sweden
Few are pessimistic enough to believe
that the misunderstanding will widen
into more serious breach between the
two countries.
Thine two sharply conflicting points
of view were presented to a CORES
pondent of The Associated Press by
Swedish and English members of the
commission do not, however, promise
any immediate settlement of the ris
pute, nor do they contain enough in
common to suggest the possibility OF
compromise. The English members of
the commission argue that large
amount of supplies, many Of which are
directly connected with maintenance
of an army and the prolongation of the
war find transit through Sweden to
Germany. They contend that con
spicuous increase in Swedish imports
beyond her own needs is evidence that
these supplies find a way to Germany
and that a great many of them are ar
ticles which Germany particularly
needs, notably meat, coffee, cocoa, cot
ton, copper and lubricants Of various
sorts. Being assured that these are
destined for Germany, England claims
the right to place such cargoes in the
prize courts and is enforcing this
right.
1t is admitted that these cargoes are
vouched for by Swedish merchants as
having Swedish consignees as their I'LL
innate destination but it is claimed
that through Intermediate steps in
Sweden they find their way finally
Sweden. 1t is also stated by the Eng
fish members of the commission that
the collision of Swedish shippers with
Germany has led to the deliberate sur
render of ships and cargoes to German
vessels and their capture was part Of
a pre-arranged plan English com
mssioners Omit the right of Sweden to
continue the export of her own pro-
ducts to Germany and to import any
quantity of goods that it may be reas-
onably supposed is for Swedish con-
sumption, but argues that this amount
should not exceed her normal i'm
ports. Calling attention to her in
crease in imports, the English COM
missioners ask Sweden to guarantee
that supplies except for home manu-
features will not be sent to Germany
or in other words that there shall be
no transit of supplies through Sweden
to Germany.

THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED
Fx-Gov. Hoard.

Ex-Gov. Hoard.
The rank Indifference of the average
politician to the will Of the people as
soon as he is elected is a crying evil
in this country. The main body Of
Office holders seem to regard the people
and their verdicts at the polls with ILL
conceited contempt except when they
are after votes. But as soon as they
are comfortably seated in the coveted
position it soon develops that it is
my will, not thy will, be done. One
can hardly wonder at this when it is
considered how Indifferent the average
voter is when to his own citizenship
and the duties and responsibilities that
pertain to it. Too many seem to ex-
pect nothing better from the politician
than his disregard of the public welfare
and they get what they expect
The old fashioned sense of RESPONSE
biity to the will of the people is fast
dying out Public service is coveted
as a 'soft snap" to be easily taken
because the public hue no rigid stand
ard of right and wrong or very much
care for its own authority
The game of the public be damned"
is being played very industriously.

STEADY PROGRESS.

FOR the first time the highest court
Of a state has upheld the constitution
atty of a law against night work for
women in factories. In its recent de-
cision on this matter the New York
court of appeals said
Surely it is a matter Of vital inn
portance 10 the state that the health
of thousands Of women working in fac
tories should be protected and safe
guarded from any drain which can rea-
sonably be avoided, this not only for
their own sakes, but, as it is and ought
to be constantly and legitimately en-
phasized for the sake of the children
whom a great majority of them will be
called upon to bear and who will almost
inevitably display in their deficiencies,
the unfortunate inheritance conferred
upon them 10y the physically broken
down mothers
This decision is interesting in con-
trsst with the opinion Of the same
court in a similar case eight years ago.
In that instance the court said
"An adult female is not to be re-
garded as a ward of the state, nor in
any other light than the man is re-
garded the question relates to the bust
ness pursuit or calling"

appeal for repentance, but she will
never see her mothers face again.
The prodigal son must be "a good
fellow" just once more before he is
swept away in the crowd and lost for
ever.
The crowd jeered the black champion
of the prize ring when they saw him
fallen and beaten in Havana. He had
stayed too long. He had fought once
too often.
So they will iee all those who turn
their backs upon home, upon church
and Bible and school, for one more
chance to have "a good time"
"Let us eat and drink for tomorrow
we shall die" is the motto of those
who live in the Paradise of Fool
