Hard Work

It's hard to keep smiling when
troubles are piling their weight
on your neck till it's sprained; its
hard to keep grinning when 9TH
ers are winning the prizes for
which you have strained. It's
hard to be CHEEKY on days wet
and dreary, when everything near
you looks drowned; it's hard to
be sunny when all of your money
IS sunk in hole in the ground.
It's hard to keep laughing when
YEARLY quaffing the fagon of
grief to the dregs, it's harder to
frolic when you have the collie,
or govt at the end of your legs.
But how will it aid you, when
woe has waylaid you, to rumble
and grumble and swear? There's
nothing that's healing in kicking
the ceiling, or biting the rungs
from a chair. It's hard to look
pleasant when anguish is present,
and yet it is strictly worth while !;
not all of your scowling and fuss
ing and growing can show off
your grit like a smile.

IN SUIT FOR MANDAMUS
Legal Proceedings Involving the
Governments Irrigation System
in the West.

Has Secretary Lane of the Interior
Department the legal right to reserve
in land grants an easement in favor
dig bitches in connection with the gen.
eral irrigation system in the west?
This query has been submitted to the
District Supreme Court in a petition
for mandamus filed against Secretary
Lane by the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company Through Attorneys Hoeh-
ling, Peelle & Ogilby. the company asks
that the Secretary be compelled to is
sue to it a patent to lands in Califor-
mia and along the lines of it's railroad
without any limitation.
Justice Gould cited the Secretary to
show cause January % why the man
damus should not issue.
Contention of Railroad Company.
The railroad company points out that
it's right to a patent for the land is
admitted, and the Secretary has only
ministerial duty to perform in issuing
the deed. Under a recent ruling of the
department, it is. said, the Secretary is
reserving in land grants a right to
the United States to enter and dig
canals and bitches if necessary for ir-
rigation purposes. The railroad COM
pany says that there is no legal au
thority for such reservation, and that
it would burden the title to the land
SO much as in many cases to render it
unsa la BILE.
The right of the Secretary SO to en-
'cumber the sitle, which is claimed I'M
der a contract with the United States,
is assailed by the railroad company.

POINTS TO THE DANGERS
IN PRESENT PROSPERITY
Boston Port Directors Predict Sharp
Decline After the War
Is Over.

Great dangers are lurking in the So
called prosperity of the United States
today prosperity of war orders,
while the regular, normal and fruitful
commerce of the country is arrested
and paralyzed, according to a bulletin
made public today by the directors of
the port of Boston entitled Analysis
of the Present Foreign Trade of the
United States" The report is signed
by Edward F. insolvency, chairman;
Joseph A. Conry and Lombard Will
liams.
The report goes at length into the
export figures for several years back,
and says that practically the only in
creases made in our exports have been
in those articles which we cannot
hope to sell after the war closes over
500, 600, 900 of our increase in trade
for the fiscal year 1915 is made up of
this class OF goods. and will, therefore,
be utterly lost to us when hostll1tles
cease Our real trade balance, then,
instead of being over $1,000. 100000. is
practically S30o.000.000 in what might
be termed Legitimate merchandise,
smaller balance than We have had for
the four years before the war;
Amount of Export Per Capita.
Declaring that the Commercial alert
ness of a nation is most fairly and
justly measured by comparison of its
export per capita rate with that OF
other leading world powers" the report
continues: "A comparison made be-
tween the United Kingdom, Germany
and the United States. from the latest
figures available, shows that Germany
had an export per capita in 1913 of
S35.s2 the United Kingdom, 1852. and
the United States. s24.66 for the same
year. Even with the abnormal in
crease in this years exports the pres
ent export per capita rate in this
country is Jess than s2S.
I'VE are sending out of this country
to the warning nations of Europe mu-
nitions and accessories of war at the
rate of $100.000,000 per month in excess
of the normal export before the war.
This means that we have about 100000
wage-earners now employed who, at
the close of the war, will be the inno-
cent victims of the gigantic readjust-
ment that must take place in industrial
America.
Unemployment and Readjustment.
1.-The question of unemployment and
adjustment of wage conditions and
labor on a normal basis at the close of
the present war. if the existing condi-
lions do not improve. will be the
gravest problem that this country has
ever had TO face. When peace is de-
clared practically all of the countries
will undertake to gain back their for
eign trade. For the United States to
hope to compete successfully in such a
strenuous trade campaign without a
merchant marine is absurd.
The report says that the nations at
war are preparing to get hold of the
world trade after the war, while the
United States is doing practically moth
ing except to regard the gamble in the
manufacture of war orders S a basis
of prosperity.
In addition to a merchant marine,
other machinery needed by the United
States in its efforts to put it's trade on
a substantial peace basis, the report
says further, are a tariff board and
shining coIn mi IS ions
