Work of Pan-American Conference

The Pan- American union, with head quarters in Washington, under the directorship of John Barrett, has, dur. ing the past few years, conducted g quiet but very effective campaign of education. Friendly relations be- tween the United States and the re. publics south of us have not only beer cemented, but this country's oppor. tunities for developing trade witt Latin America have broadened, and il should be only question of time wher large results will follow.
 The Pan-American financial confer ence, which was opened in Washington May 24 under the chairmanship o Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, il continuing it's work, and it is now fel that much practical good will be ac complished through this agency. Be tfore our trade relations with Centra and South America can be established on a satisfactory and permanent basi representatives of the financial inter ests of the United States and tn, Latin republics must work out ant agree upon certain banking details And this will be done as the resul of the present conference.

Not to Harass, But to Help

The federal trade commission, ere. ated by the Sixty-third Congress ir its closing days, has not been long enough in existence for the country to judge of it's merits; but good must be expected of it, if the statements of Chairman Joseph E. Davidson and his associate commissioners are to be ac- cepted at par value.
 No business of wide importance has yet been brought before the commis- sion, but in time it will be called upon to deal with many matters of vital concern. As was suggested by the federal judges in deciding the govern ment's suit against the United States Steel corporation in favor If the de- fendants, questions of detail in the conduct of the corporations business might properly be left to the federal trade commission. The personnel of the commission IS such as to assure a feeling of security in business cir cles.
 Particularly gratifying and signifi- cant was Chairman Davidson's ad- dress on Competition and Democ- racy," deliverey before the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World at their convention in Chicago the other day. This paragraph struck the key note:
 "The purpose of the federal trade commission is not to harass, but to help-not to make a legalistic record, but to bring relief and aid, and to efficiently serve the public interest and to bring first aid to the con- petitor injured before the patient is exhausted by long drawn out techni- calities of legal action"
 No business man could ask for more cheering expressions than those whic , fell from MT. Davidson's lips as he stood in the presence of the ad men.

 How breeds and skitters in the fetid mire

Hurls the black legions of cyclonic strife We trace his progress by the shattered oak, Bewail the wasted centuries-and yet, The land shall quicken to a cleaner life They do but take the ancient bath again And shall emerge unto a saner peace. Lo, how they made a fetich of caprice, And worshipped with aberrant brush and pen! What false dawns summoned by the crow ing hen How toiled the lean to batten the obese What straying from the sanity of Greece ] While yet her seers and bards were fight ing men!

RACE PREJUDICE AND MOB RULE

From the Nashville Tennesseean. Every time an infuriated mob hangs
 negro in the south for some horrible
 crime, the cities of the east and west wag their tongues in denunciation of the southern people. They never tire of pointing to the people in this soc ton IS the oppressors of the negro, when, in fact only small portion of the people of the south believe in mob violence. At any rate, the people of the southern country who understand the negro do not hold the race responsible for individual crimes. as is often the
 case with the people of other sections of the country.
 There are instances in the north where mobs have not only killed ! negro offender, but have pursued and run out of the community other mem bers of that race merely because they were negroes. Nothing of this kind ever happens in the south. Race prejudice does not enter into the matter of aveng- ing crime against a negro in the l south. but it does with a northern mob l In Illinois foreigner charged with being implicated in the murder of a ma | tive was taken from the town jail and hanged, and race feeling was so high 1 as indicated by threats of extending the fury of the mob to other members o1
 the race to which the foreigner he.
 longed. that 1t was necessary to call out
 several military companies to preserve life and order.
 The lynching of negroes in Illinois Ohio, Indiana and other states has in q l measure silenced criticism against tho
 southern people for yielding to the mol spirit in certain instances. It has not only done this. but it has afforded tho people of this section ample reason fol criticising the people of those states flor surrendering their best judgment.

A SLAVE OF THE CITY.

A SLAVE OF THE CITY. His heart dwells in fair country lanes, The pleasant rural places, Where days go by as in a dream And no one ever races In maddened quest of fame and wealth, Unmoved by love or pity. And tramples weaker brothers down, As folks do in the city His heart dwells in the peaceful realm Of meadow, hill and dale, Where smoky pillows never stain The cloud-ships as they sail, And where there's much that's more
 worth while
 Than worldly place and power, And something of Gods plan is taught By every wayside flower.

that often the simplest new sugges-
ton is welcome. This little Oliver
Twist suit on on conventional lines but
has a dainty trimming design which
seems worth passing on. The little
blouse was cut from fine piQue with
collar and cuffs of pique having
coarser cord, the latter material being
used for the trousers. The collar,
cuffs and center pleat of the blouse
are edged with the finest of scalloped
braids, embroidered in dark blue.
while just inside the edge is a row of
very fine feather stitching of the
same color.
