Keeping Our Forcign Trade

OSl now the foreign trade OF the United
J states is bearing up under the supposedly
destructive influence Of the Democratic tariff
is well shown in the monthly statement of
imports and exports Just issued by the De-
partment of Commerce. The statement is for
the month Of April and the ten months ending
april 80, as compared with CORRESPONDENTS
periods of last year.
Imports of crude materials for use in mani
featuring increased from SCI, S69, O6O to 500
S9|,l33 for April, and from s456,623 .O23 to
s'44,o4b,3o6 for the ten-month period. while
exports OF these materials remained nearly
stationary. Imports OF manufactures for fur
ther use in manufacturing showed a slight
gam "hlie III manufactures ready for CON
sumption there was an actual decrease. On
tHe otNer hahd, the exports of manufactures
Tor further use In manufacturing leaned from
S3S,371,343 10 $50, 1854, 053 Tor April, and
from $286,263,S7 to s5O3,12l.O23 for tcn
ton from $90,5S3,475 to $197.O4l.O3S for
April, and from $500, 791 ,511 to s1.5oo-

There are more ways than one OF losin,

Mobs, Latin and American

n our self-satisfaction we sheer at the
l brutality Of Latin crowds that rejoice in the
hideous cruelty OF bullnghting. We contend,
and justly, that the element Of sport in a
conflict between a tortured bull and a crowd
OF protected tormentors is SO slight as to
shame the use of the word. Yet. after all
the JOY OF the b~ullfght Is only a manifestation
OF the mob spirit. cultivated by tradition and
h%eredity. And we cannot claim freedom from
that same spirit.
If there is one pastime from which the
quality OF sport is completely lacking, it is
umpirc-haiting. Before a mob of raging
baseball! enthusiasts the umpire is far more
helpless than the bull in the arena. Men
who would not dare speak sharply to his face
call him vile names: others who have never
seen the cover of a book OF rules dispute his
decisions, and others n hundred yards away
violently deny the evidence OF his eyes.
silly ard cowardly enough is all this; but
your hshting fan--safe in the crowd-does
not stop there. The umpire is often in
danger of physical, mob violence.
1t has been found necessary, even in order
ly Richmond, to assign a police bodyguard
to the umpire at every ball game. We are
not so widely different from the Latins, rs
mobs.

Supporting the Postmaster-General

COMETHING that sounded like an echo OF
~ the recent agitation in Congress TO inves-
tigate Postmaster-General Burleson might
have been heard in the resolutions adopted
Tuesday by the convention OF Virginia post
masters, 1t will be remembered that some
of the patriots in Congress charged Mr.. Burle-
son with having attempted to defeat certain
measures affecting the postal service which
they had advocated. MIR. Burleson not only
admitted, but avowed, the truth of the
charges, saying he had acted for the hest in
terest OF the public.
1t is 10 be assumed that the Virginia post
masters know something about the needs OF
the department and the efforts made to in
crease, OF decrease, its efficiency. Therefore.
the resolutions of praise and thanks TO the
Postmaster-General and his assistants prob
ably mean much more than perfunctory cor
diality toward the head of the department.
