Crowded Gibraltar.

In no place on the surface OF the
globe is rent so high rs at Gibralt2",
the reason Being that the geographical
position of the town precudes the pos
sibility of its being extended in any
direction. A long. narrow strip Of
what was once sea beach is alone avail
able for building purposes. All tue
rest is precipitous rock.
Upon this narrow parapet, in some
rases less than lO0 yards in width, are
crowded the homes of $1,000 people.
AS much as sovereign Il week is ask
ed and obtained for the Use of one
small unfurnished room, and this, too,
in place where the normal rate VI
wages is quite 20 per cent less than In
England. Naturally the overcrowding
is fearful, and. the water supply being
scarce and intermittent. cleanliness of
living, as We understand it, is almost
impossible.
No wonder that in the old days the
plague and the cholera ravaged the

of the far east.-London Opinion.

How swifts Spend the Niaht.

A recent observer has noticed that at
Gibraltar the swlfts may be seen flying
up to 1890 at night and reappearing
at daylight. Where do they spend the
short interval? 1t is suggested that
they spend the night in the air Many
careful observers who have watched
them say that some time during the
evening they ascend into the upper air
until they are lost to view It is be-
lieved that they spend the night in the
higher regions of the atmosphere and
descend again in the morning Long

Solution Of Transportation Problem a
Pressing Need Of the Nation
By President WOODROW WILSON

THE transportation problem is an exceedingly serious and pressing one
in this country. There has from time to time of late been reason
to fear that our railroads would not much longer be able to cope
with it successfully as at present equipped and co-ordlnated. | suggest
that it would be wise to provide for a commission of inquiry to ascertain
by a thorough canvass of the whole question whether our laws IS at
present framed and administered Ire a serviceable as they might be in
the solution of the problem.
1T is OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT LIES AT THE VERY FouN-
DATIoN OF OUR EFFICIENCY AS A PEOPLE.
The regulation of the railways of the country by federal commission
has had admirable results and has fully justified the hopes and expecta-
tons of those by whom the policy of regulation was originally proposed.
The question is not, What should we undo? 1t is whether there is any
thing else we can do that would supply US with effective means in the
UNDER WHICH THE RAILROADS ARE OPERATED AND FOR
MAKING THEN MORE USEFUL SERVANTS OF THE COUN-
TRY AS A WHOLE.

Question of National Defense Is One That
Concerns All Americans
By JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN, President Cornell University

NATIONAL defense is a national question, not a party issue. wish
y it might be carefully considered with some reference to the facts
of the situation, among which, perhaps, the controlling elements
are the extent of our liability to attack by any nation II nations of the
old world and the degree Of preparation necessary to meet that contin-
gency, DEALING ALWAYS WITH REASONABLE PROBABIM-
TIES AND NO MORE ABSTRACT POSSIBILITIES.
Our national ideals tend to protect us, for the American nation be-
Ieves with all its heart and mind in peaceful industry and in the con-
slant substitution of law for force as a means of settling international
disputes.
YET WE MUST PROTECT OURSELVES AGAINST WANToN At
TAcks, AND IT CANNOT BE DENIED THAT THE MONROE DOCTRINE
is NOT UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED BY THE NATIONS OF EUROPE.
How far we ought to go in forcibly asserting the Monroe doctrine has
not yet been determined or even carefully thought out clearly. However,
this is a national policy and not a party matter. From every point Of
view the question of the nations preparedness transcends party lines.
1t is a question that concerns all Americans.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
CONFERENCE CALL
PROMINENT PEOPLE OF NORTH
ERN IDAHO TOWNS WILL MEET
AT UNIVERSITY
Dates For Meeting January % and 30
To Discuss Good Government
Problems

Hoping to effect an organization il
northern Idaho which may be of bene
fit to municipalities of the state in the
interests of good government, a cal
was today issued from the university
signed by President Brannon, presidenr
Of the Northwest Pacific Municipality
League, and Howard T. Lewis, head o.
the department of economics and po-
litical science at the university. The
conference is to be held at the univer-
sity January 20 and 20. The call is
as follows:
"The University of Idaho extends an
invitation to you to be present at a
conference on municipal problems to
be held in Moscow, January % and 20.
1t is felt that much benefit can be de-
rived from meeting with representa-
tives from other municipalities and
discussing with them, face to face, the
problems common to all cities. In this
section of Idaho our towns are of

a common state law, are influenced
by much the same factors, and are
struggling with many of the same diff
ficulties.
cit is believed, therefore, that if the
officials of the municipalities together
with all others interested in good city
government can but get together and
in an impartial, non-political, calm
hammer give consideration to problems
tremendous amount of good will result.
The University of Idaho therefor eX-
tends this invitation to you and to all
others interested in matters of this
kind to be present at the conference,
assist in the organization of a North
Idaho Municipality League, and aid in
forming its policy. 1t is hoped in the
course of time to make this movement
statewide in it's scope, but as a begin
ming must be made somewhere, north
Idaho has been selected as the section
in which u efforts shall be first x
pended.
"a general program is being arrang-
ed dealing with the question of rails
ing and spending a city's money. The
theme is a timely and a significant
one; those appearing on the program
will be men who know whereof they
speak. 1t is also hoped those partic-
ularly interested in engineering prob
lens will have some separate meetings
devoted to those particular questions.
Will you not make an effort to be
present mad urge your friends to
come? 1t goes without saying that any
suggestion you may have to offer will
be gladly received.

This shows great faith in the merit
of Mona. 1t is really a most un-
usual medicine and the rapid increase

Increase of American Trade Due to Merit
of Its Products


I N the years before the war W e had no banks abroad, no companies
through whom to invest abroad, no strong, purely commercial gov
eminent organization abroad. We lacked, indeed, most of the faciG-
ties through which our competitors gained their trade, yet the pure merit
Of American goods and the power of American brains BUILT UP FOR
US A GREAT FOREIGN TRADE UNTIL WE BECAME ONE OF
THE BIG THREE IN THE WORLDS MARKETS.
Now we are getting the tools with which to work. The war has so
operated as greatly to increase our business good will all over the world.
We are beginning to believe in ourselves and to realize that foreign trade
is Is necessary to the farmer, the miner and the railroad worker of the
interior as it is to the export merchant Of the seaport town. War, too,
has done US good in a sense by taking our vision away from ourselves and
making us see things in the large.
Now we know we have a giants strength, but we have proved that we
have no desire to use it like a giant.
WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT WE YEARN, RATHER, TO USE
1T FOR THE HAPPINESS OF OUR PEOPLE AND THE GOOD OF Hu-
MANITY.
