WHY MEXICO SUFFERED.

Speaking of the conditions which breed revolutions a financial
house in its circular tells of what Mexico had failed to do: "No
courts at all times were subject to political influence, and worse
than these two, the ueons, whose ownership of land was by the
deprived Of their possessions by means Of concessions and the en-
actment of certain laws. By the use of these methods there had
been created such vast estates as those of the Maderos, Terrauas
and many others. Barefoot poems stood day after day in the ante
rooms OF President Madelos palace demanding the lands which he
had promised them. 1t was this land hunger of these peasants
which made the extraordinary career of Villa, the iliterate peon.

forthcoming" Our threatened intervention at least has had the
effect OF Strengthening the Ca1ranza de facto government NOR
than any other cause; Supporters of the deposed Huerta, of the
to the constitutionalist president. If he and his friends are wise
N their day, they will! hold this new support. An intelligent Mex
lean writing in the New York Sun, however, is discouraged as to
the outlook. He says that the poems, who are receiving 80 centa~
yos a day for serving in the army and who have license to rob and
loot, will never return voluntarily to the peaceful and industrious
walks of life. Whether at peace or war, we should never again be
guilty of arming this army-Chatanooga News.

CAUSES OF PRESENT PROSPERITY

The Democratic party would like very much to make it appear
that the Wilson administration is responsible for present business
conditions. The reports of the Federal Government totally dis
prove such a claim. The enormous crops of last year added ap-
proximately 100000 600 more to the national wealth and circa-
1ation than did the crops of 1914. That, in itself, was enough to
make a vast difference in relative prosperity. Neither MI. Wilson,
nor MIR. Wilson's policies, influenced agricultural production, al
though the Democrats are disposed to take credit for it. But fig
ures just published by the Department of Commerce prove beyond
all question that it is the war trade and the war trade alone that
has expanded our foreign commerce far beyond all previous records
and made this country richer by many hundreds of millions.
In this report the exports and imports of 1913, 1914 and 1915
are presented by countries. The totol exports in 1913 were ST.
84,000,000; in 1915, $3,547, 100000, an increase of :. 1,O6S, O00,-
due tothesa lie of war munitions and supplies. Our exports to Eng
land were increased by $577,000000, to France by $340O00,000, to
Italy by 1892, 100000, to Russia by $139, 000, 600, making a total
increase to the allied countries of 81, 248, 100000. To the countries
bordering upon the war zone-Honand, Sweden, Norway, Den
mark, Greece and Switzenand-our exports increased 218,00O,-
war. To suppose that our normal trade with these countries could
be increased in the least under present conditions is manfestly alb
surd. Therefore we have a total gain in exports resulting from
the war, of $1,466,O 100000, as compared with 1913. Against this
We have a loss, consequent upon the war, of 1881 ,0OO, 900 to Ger
many and Belgium, making a net gain from this cause of $685.
100000.
Our imports in 1913 amounted to 81, 702, 100000; in 1915 to ST.
H8,OO0,O00. Our balance of trade in 1915 was 81, 769, 100000.
Directly or indirectly the country is that much richer; we have
sold to foreign nations that much more than we have bought from
them. The wal brought us in 1915 an average of over S17 per
ing the sales to the allies and the border nations our balance of
trade in 1915 is seen to be only S3O3 600, 900. Our balance of trade
in 1918 was $692, 100000. So it appears that, outside of war
sales, we have lost almost 100000.
1t is quite plain from these official figures that every dollar of
our gain from foreign commerce is due to the war demand, and

TEAM WORK FOR
CAMPAIGN ORGANIZING

In nearly one hundred towns and
cities throughout the state of North
Dakota, organizations have been
formed in the interest of Wesley Col
lege and its campaign for endowment
and building fund. A number of pas
tors of the churches have volunteered
their services and are engaged in or
ganization work, using vacation time
for the purpose. Laymen of promin-
ence have undertaken the, work If
committee organization and a cons;-
derable number of eminent men have
consented to serve on the State &c,
eral Committee. The workers report
encouragement all along the line, and
the uniform support and cooperation
of those who are most thoroughly
acquainted with the high ideals and
purposes of Wesley College.
The institution has long since
outgrown its facilities and requires
Immediately additional buildings and
a substantial increase in endowment.
MI. James J. Hill, who gave largely
to many colleges, always making q
study of needs and outlook, CAV,
Wesley College $4,000. 1t was his
urgent advice that at least $780, 600
additional endowment be secured and
he offered $4,000 toward the total.
provided $175,0 900 be pledged by
others. Several friends of Wesley
College have come forward with in
timation that they would join largely
in the fund, and much encouragement
is felt by those identified with th;,
forward movement to expect a :
givers, in large or small sums, to
complete the amount needed.
The beautiful campus opposite the
State University at Grand Forks is
already graced by three stately pr
unitarian buildings, Sayre and Lari-
more Halls, residence buildings, and
