Exports and the Hereafter.

! Exports from the United States for August
reached new high mark and new figure for
trade balance in our favor was also established
by the transactions of that month. The imports,
though, remain at an unusually high figure, al
most two hundred millions. This, on the surface,
suggests that our foreign trade is in magnificent
circumstance Just now, Deeper thought will in
evitably bring into consideration the future We
have no reason to think the present imitation will
continue longer than until peace is declared in
Europe. After that we may be assured change
will come. Two reasons for this are plain First,
the export trade Of the United States is abnormal
1t consists chiefly Of shipments to Europe, and
to four countries now engaged in war. Second,
at least three great exporting nations OF Europe,
Germany, Belgium and France, are kept out of
the world markets by the war This cannot be
taken as proof that they are not to be reckoned
with as manufacturers and exporters On the
contrary, the factories and workshops OF these
countries are buster today than ever, better
equipped, and the industrial organization is de-
veloped to even a higher degree OF efficiency
than that which made the world marvel before
the war ..a as"
The United States must be prepared to meet
this competition as soon as the war is over, and
trade restored to normal conditions II is not
only in the competitive market that these nations
will seek customers but in the United States, the
most attractive of all markets. Does anyone be-
lieve the United States can maintain its standing
as an exporter against the combined opposition
of Europe, and at the same time retain control
of its home market, il the democratic doctrine of
free trade prevails? i'a
1t may serve to emphasize the summing tip
of the situation, II emphasis were needed to state
that on September 20, 1916, the deficit in the
United States treasury account, for the fiscal
year that began on July |, was $53,72s,s36s5
For the first twenty days of September alone the
deficit in revenue was SCI ,609, 1867. In other
words, with the greatest foreign trade ever
recorded for any country the business of the
United States is falling behind at this time at the
rate of million dollars day under the admins
tration Of the democratic party.

The Electric Light Compromise.

The local public, and especially the users Of
electric light, seem to have all the best of it in
the final compromise Of the long-drawn conten.
ton between the city and the lighting company
by which a maximum rate OF six cents per kilo-
watt hour rate is to be effective with the begin
ming Of the year.
This Is greater reduction that it was thought
the company could be prevailed upon to accept
without last-ditch fight and the concession in
the way Of limited street lighting contract at
figures really better than what the city is now
paying at least threatens no serious disadvantage
to the taxpayers. Naturally the compromise will
make the demand for municpally-owned light
ing plant less acute That is what the company
wants to ward off or defer, but It really puts no
insuperable obstacle in the way of reviving the
city plant scheme later should it promise any
thing better than the proposed adjustment with
It's low meter rate will give us. If the compromise
produces peace and progress, instead of friction
and stagnation, in the relations between the city
and this public service corporation, it will prove
to be a real step forward.

The Cost of Niagara

| The cost of preserving the greater part O
Niagara as spectacle, instead of utilizing all it
energy for industrial purposes, is estimated by
writer in Engineering and Contracting at $50 pei
| look, for every visitor who sees the falls. This
he thinks, is rather high even for such a noble
spectacle, and he joins the writer lately quoted
in these columns in suggesting that the water be
turned on" for tourists for brief period daily
and run through turbines the rest of the time
Says this writer:
"In round numbers 100000 horsepower Of
energy flows to waste at Niagara. At least il
would be called waste were ii not for the fact
that about 100000 people view it annually. This
great natural moving picture costs society the
value OF three annual horsepower per seat at
the show IT, then, we ascertain the value of a
horsepower of water-power we shall know what
it costs society to furnish each visitant one good
look at Niagara Falls.
"Appraisals OF water-power values have ranged
from nil to more than 500 per horsepower
Without going into a careful calculation it NAV
be conservatively estimated that Niagara Falls
power is worth to society fully $50 per horse
power per annum. 1t follows, then, that each OBJ
server is indebted to society for $3.50 every time
ne visits the great falls.
Might not the million annual visitors to this
greatest Of cataracts secure their thrills at less
than $3.50 per look? Could it not be arranged that
for, say, one hour each day the entire volume of
water be allowed to flow over the great brink, and
Tor the remaining twenty-three hours let it run
through shafts and tunnels upon turbines? This
would bring the cost of look at the falls down
to about $7the price of three theater tickets in
stead of the price Of six suits of clothes.
But, some one may urge, Who would come
hundreds of miles just for one hours pleasure?
Do this thing that you propose and the audience
will stay away. Hardly, for the gorge itself is
royal vision at all times, and then if there be
those who insist upon a continuous performance
of the falls themselves, why not give it to them
in grand amphitheater where a screen 100 feet
long would picture the roaring waters in all save
the roar.
Testing aside, it is very high price, price
unnecessarily high that Canada and America are
paying for trips to Niagara Falls. Let us have
little real social engineering brought to bear ON
this esthetic-economic problem and we shall
without doubt, find way to utilize nearly all the
power now wasted at Niagara, yet not deprive
mankind of its heritage of beauty and grandeur"

The Limerick IN Politics

President Wilson has sprightly taste in
poetry. Begged to make speech at a musicale
in Atlantic City, the president obliged with this
lyric:
For beauty am not star,
There are other more handsome by far,
But my face doesn't mind it, because I'm be-
hind it,
Its the people in front that jar"
This little metrical bit OF personal deroga-
tion was, needless to say joyfully received, and
I pleasant time was lad by all, as the rural So
siety column might say.
II is thus made TO seem quite possible that
The possibilities of the limerick as a means of
appealing to the people have been overlooked.
Other men in public life might try this homeiy
and sympathetic form of verse as short cut
@ the affections of the enfranchised populaee.
Mr.. Hughes would never again be considered
aloof and cold il he would emulate the president
and declaim something like this
Though critics may cavil and carp,
Because I'm not musical sharp,
Nhcn the breezes begin to encircle my chin,
IT'S Just like an aeolian harp" Z
AT musicale this probably would 20 even
,ctter than Mr.. Wilson's bit.
Mr. Bryan would not need to recite limericks,
because all the limerick class of citizens are with
him now. But to diversity and extend his SUP.
port he might 60 to the other extreme and give
some Of Anacreon's drinking songs in the original
Greek Then with Uncle Joe Cannon going about
rcciting Keats "Adonais" the lot Of the audi
ence would be much more cheerful than il is at
present

Filling the Air With Fright.

For some unaccountable reason, Sunday ap-
pears to have been selected for exhibiting the
powers of aircraft when turned to destruction.
Those reported from England and the continent
as having been INDUCED to start the present week
are the most extensive, as we'll as the most spec
tacular, OF the war. From the magnitude of the
operations one may easily deduce the conclusion
that these operations represent the desperation
with which the struggle is now being pressed. 1t
Is hard to believe, though, that the ultimate out
come of the war will be seriously affected by
demonstrations in which only noncombatants are
the victims. The popular conception of war is
struggle between armed forces, not wanton
dropping of huge charges Of high explosives on
defenseless homes, where women and children
and aged or disabled men are to be found. So
far as such proceedings can inAunce the progress
Of the war is concerned, they seem utterly futile.
1t is too late for either side to gain anything by
efforts to spread terror.

course suggest is that typewriting and
shorthand be made a very stringent
course and that 1t only be included in
the course of study of the school of
commerce and that no student be al
lowed to register for same until his
senior year in the university. Neither
myself nor any other graduate of the
university desires to make high
school or a business college out of the
university and we think that the
above plan prevents this.
Mr.. Halter studied stenography
while attending the university, he be-
ing so mentally equipped, but myself
and hundreds of others had to study
it for a year before entering college.

sion, that of the law, that typewrit-
ing and spelling buy more bread and
butter than the faculty of measuring
the distance to Mars or the study of
New Testament Greek.

Campaign Claims and Cold Facts.

Our democratic irienos are filing the air with
impudent assertions and extravagant claims as
to what they have done for the farmer and work.
ingman. If the party now in power is willing to
charge itself with having brought about the war
in Europe and thus produced the abnormal con-
ditions that prevail for the moment it may with
some reason assume to be responsible for the
alleged prosperity" Of which it boasts But we
wonder If people have forgotten the situation that
prevailed little over year ago, before the flood
OF money for munitions and war supplies over
whelmed the country? In January, 1915 $4,000
men stood in bread lines in New York City and
slept in police stations ferry depots and wherever
shelter could be had. A like tale is true of every
large city in the United States. In no year of
our history were so many men idle because no
employment could be had, and that was the first
fruits Of democratic free trade legislation.
Do the democrats expect to ride into office
again on the trail of the war brides1" Our demo-
cratic senator pleaded in congress and through
his newspaper for an embargo arms and all
war supplies. Now he does somersault, and
just as loudly boasts Of the prosperity" that has
deluged the country, and of his share in bringing
it about. If his counsel had prevailed, and meas
ures he advocated had been adopted, the bread
lines Of the country would be much longer than
they were, soup houses and "hotels de gink'
would be established all over the land, and hunger
would stalk, because the great factories would not
be turning out goods to be sold at fancy prices to
warning Europe.
This is not the first instance of democratic
efrontery in an endeavor to substitute empty
claims for cold facts Pooling the home folks is
not so easy as it was, and records only year
old are not to be wiped out readily. Democratic
legislation is chargeabe for the present industrial
activity in about the same degree as it is for the
crop shortage, and no further.

Friends who are grieved when I am grieyed,
