AN AUTOMOBILE NIXUP.

An automobile mixup, at first ser
tous, then humorous, occurred on
Church street, Saturday, when a
woman, driving a roadster, stopped in
front of a store. A short time later
a man, driving the same model OF
car. stopped behind the other
machine. The man concluded his
business first and in his haste jumped
into the wrong car and sped off. The
womaa's agitation was real until
the absent minded male returned
with the mistaken car.

that will dawn in few days. Therefore, let us re- solve that during 1919 least will do our best aid those who have been placed in charge Of the work to get results in this trying period of recon struction and reorganization.
 This does that people should not make suggestions and urge remedies and programs for adoption There never a time when helpful sug- gestions were greatly needed. There was never time when constructive programs were more in de- mand But let the suggestions be helpful and the programs constructive. Do not throw obstacles In the way Do not devote your time to intriguing to prevent any from making good. The whispering critic the starter of Jeramah rumors, the inventor of suspicion and dscord, the who murmurs about the "Nigger in the Woodpile" that would be visible if a microscope applied is a hindrance to pro gress and development.
 Let us resolve that will try to see the good that is being accomplished rather than to magnify the mistakes; that will be positive citizens rather than negative; that will be creative rather than destructive; that vii lhelp rather than hinder.
 Let us resolve that will frown upon the grouch and grouchiness the trouble maker, the scold, the potter who attempts intrigue failures and scandals and unsettled conditions.

Philippine Commerce.
Seattle Times.)

Seattle Times.)
 Considering the scarcity of tonnage because of the war; the figures of Philippine foreign trade for the year ending June 30 last just made available by the Bureau of Insuar Affairs, not only marvellous but immensely significant They show that Phil ippine foreign trade for the year reached paralleed value and exceeded the figures of the pre- vous year by than 60 per cent in both imports and exports. Of the phenomenal increase in prices during the period reduces the trustworthness of values index to the actual activity of trade Nevertheless, allowing for this dstrust it is stated by the bureau that the volume of trade shows mark ed activity and generally prosperous year.
 Following the statistical statement issued by the bureau it is observed that the total imports amount ed to $S3,763.29o, an increase of $32OO0,OO0, and that half of this increase in cotton cloths and the miscellaneous iron and steel trade. Imports of cotton textiles reached the largest quantity recorded and 80 per cent from the United States. Of the residue a large share from Japan, whose ship ments nearly four times large they the preceding year.
 Indications of prosperity to be found in many other import items, notably two and half million dollar silk trade, which double that of 1917 Textiles reached million dollars in value and double the quantity of the previous year.
 is observed that exports for the first time passed the hundred million mark, reaching the of $116,61 611, than double the prevailing figures of the prewar period. In the enormous $45 900 OOO increase over 1917 hemp and cocoanut prod the chief factors The increase in exports of hemp 25,734 long tons the year showing the largest quantity of this product shipped in any since 1911. In cocoanut products increase of 200 is shown in the exports of cocoanut oil This is par tially explained by the development of the local manufacture that now more than half the copra produced is converted into oil before being exported
 The condition of the sugar industry sat isfactory. Exports amounting to 225,428 long tons were below those of the previous year. while the craze price remained about the same There was 50 per cent. increase in the cigar exports and new high record established for unnia actured bacco in both quantity shipped and price. s X
 The significance of these facts lies in the pros pect for the Philippines, that the is over to share bountifuy in the prosperity of the United States With increased tonnage and enlarged trade facilities there is splendid vision of the future for Pacific possessions Still there are some persons them away.

Europe Depending Upon Wilson.
(Port Angeles News.)

At the Peace Conference in France four men will have more influence in determining its outcome than all of the other members combined These are Lloyd George, of England. Premier Clemenceau, of France Orlando of Italy, and President Wilson Many consd- CT the latter the most outstanding figure a and he is described in many European papers the leader the world Tn thought and high ideals The London Nation in recent editorial thus outlines the stua tion as 1t appears to that paper:
 Our triumph is great. but so. too, are our re- sponsibilities For life has been difficult or the tremulous balance of human fortunes SO preca- riously held since the fall of the Roman Empire One point of steadfast light appears through this wreck dissolving dreams A firm hand, guided more by will and intellect than feeling controls the passion and steadies the mind of the older world.
 All depends upon MT. Wilson. If he wins Euro pean society may recover, and if it recovers will move on to higher levels. No such happy issue can come should his enemies at home overthrow him or reaction in the alliance cOunter-work his aim"
