 It Is inspiring to read the resolu- ton passed recently at the convention of the Hungarian Americans in Cleveland. There was no halfway mericanism about the action of tIa delegates, since in addition to thank ing the president for not regarding Hungarian residents as "aIien en- cmies' and declaring for free. in- dependent, dem ocratic Hungary. on the principle proclaimed by Louis NosSuth, the delegates resolved as
 II. WIS:
 7nat We reaffirm and reiterate our
 ~:7inching loyalty to our country, ne United States of America. point ing with pride to the fact that Amer jeans of Hungarian blood have at all times fulfilled their duties and obli- utions as American citizens evil dcnceG hy the heroic part which they have taken in our Civil war We ap- preciate the freedom and eoualitv that the constitution of this great re- public accords us and we are ever ready to uphold the great ideals of our president, aiming to make the world safe for dcmocracy
 These are splendid resolutions. They have the right ring. and thev oneht to be read by pessimistic Americans who wonder whether we have faNorably impressed the immi- grants among us with the value of our civilization" and who too quick lN despair as to the essential Ameri- canism of those who have but re- gently become citizens. The fact is. the HungarianS no less than the Bo- henlans, are robust in their Amen-i- CanlSm and they put some of the na- tlve-born to shame. especially when the latter would apologize for thesr birthright and questiun our n.zeag fuIldanaantaA hSs&s asad sda&E

THE NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS.
Significance of the Recent Rise in
 Price to Two Cents.
Commerce and Finance )

What should have been done a
 papers of New York did last week.
 went to two cents. If they hadn't
 done so some of them would have
 been forced to the wall. Th cost of
 white paper and of delivery to news
 dealers was nearly twice as much as
 the publishers got for the one cent
 paper from the dealer which was
 60 cents per 100 copies.
 Necessarily the newspaper was de- pendent upon the advertiser for life. That the advertiser has dictated to the newspapers in some instances is acknowledged. How could you expect it to be otherwise when the news
 papers were drawing three quarters of their support from advertising? This not only was an unhealthy but an ominous situation. The newspaper was not free. The advertisers could
 destroy any publication that offended
 them.
 Of all the great newspapers in New
 York on1v two have been making any
 profit One came near breaking even. The others had constantly increasing deficits.
 The two-cent rate will give profit from circulation and will lessen the thralls in which the publishers have been bound to the advertiser. It will 1 Curtail the circulation of some sheets, | particularly those of many thounsands 1 of circulation, most of whose readers 1 are persons who have to count their l coins carefully and to whom two 1 cents for a paper may seem good ] deal of money, but it will make for ! better newspapers.
 The Evening Post varied the pic ture somewhat by coming down from three cents to two cents It frankly states this is largely experimental aS it desires to see the effect of 8 high class newspaper at two cents pitted I against a publication like the Evenins l Journal for the same price. Hereto | fore the Post at three cents has had 1 a circulation of less than 30,00o while l the Evening Journal has had moro ] than 8oO.ooO circulation.
 l The Post no doubt will put on cir culation and the Journal lose some, 1 but it is to be doubted whether the Post will get any of the Journal ls i readers. The Post is as indigesib1e to a Journal lover as the Journal is to ! a Post epicure.

TODAY'S TABLOID TALE
By Joe Blast.

The Comparative Millionaire.
 Legs Missouri. the hobo tramp, took his worldly wealth, one dime. out of his pocket and looked at it insultingly.
 "Only that between me and the poorhouse", he sohioquiod bitterly. And he sank down on a park bench and picked up a paper that was lying there. It was a copy of the famous financial journal, Packs and Figures"
 Legs Missouri read idly: Tt costs the government of San Twishland $13.500, to build the Boog1eberg canal, It is estimated that, including com pound fractured interest amounting to $4.565,765, the canal will be paid by the end of the year 1856"
 We'll" thought Legs Mis- souri, brightening a little bit,
 And he read on; The na- tional debt of Stolivia is SS,- l5p.VoO, ,UUV, payaole 10 the party of the second part hold ing high pressure bonds bear ing eighteen per cent, interest. The government hopes to have it paid off by 199o."
 Well, Well." thought Legs Missouri, brightening a good bit.
 And he read on: ''It is est1- mated that the war expenses of Great Britain alone will ex- ceed S325, 1875, 849, ,0o2, which, with the best of manageme ent, may be paid off by the year 245O."
 Well. Welt. We1l'!:" thought Legs Missouri, bright ening 8 whole lot,
 And he took out his dime again looked at it lovingly.
 Not even a. mortgage on it!'' he thought happily, and stolled off, nerrily whistling "A-gly a-glee for Mickle," by Beastie Burden, the famous Scottish composer.

Conscientious Savers. (BostOn News Bureau)

A dear old lady who wished to back up Hoover in every way said to a friend: When MT. Hoover said he wanted every housewife to save a loaf of bread every week, I made up my mind to do what he wanted. I have saved a loaf every week for 26 weeks. Now wish MT. Hoover would tell me what he wants me to do with thenl."
 Perhaps the old lady may yet pre- sent her query directly to the food ad- ministrator. At any rate. one citizen has asked in all seriousness whether frogs legs are meat or fish. But per- haps the most conscientious of them all is the man who has applied to the food administrato tor to know If T would be regarded as a hoarder II ne i,hould fill his icehouse full up.

Gen, PcrShing's Task.
(New York Evening Post)

NANC" Ol h l>N tliIlio ] OEl)'
 It is a stupendOus task which Gen. Pershing has before him, and it is not the part of patriotic war depart ment to minimize it, Secretary Baker knows, and Gen. Pershing knows, that when he speaks of an army of 100000 going to France this year, it means not an army in the technical military sense, but that that many men carrying guns, who arc ready to be trained to be soldiers will arrive in England and France. Any other reading of this statement will give rise to false hopes and to resentment if by misconceivins it undue risks be taken, or men be sent into battle be- fore they are properly prepared. Gen Pcrshing's problem is to train these vast bodies of men while direct ing the fighting of those who arc fitted to go into the front line.
 That our men can be trained well and comparatively quickly the Cana dians and Austrians, as well as the British, have amply demonstrated. Nor must any one forget the glorious record made by the little trained London militia, who were hastily

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS.
Expert Articles Last Year Valued Five Times Greater Than Any Other
 Period. Contrast With Germany.
Providence JnurnaI.O !.

Providence Journal).
 It is cardinal economic principle with Germany that she must export to live and in order to export she must import. Her prosperity depends on her manufacturing industry, but while it is capable of producing an enor1n- ous surplus, Germany must go abroad for most of the raw materials In some degree every industrial nation is dependent on foreign resources, and current reports of the commerce of the United States furnish a. reminder that, contrary to a common impress sion, we are not ''seff-Sustaining, now that we have passed out of the pioneer stage, the period when we exchanged our agricultural products for man nufactures.
 American manufacturers exported nearly four billion dollars worth of goods last year, five times the value of such exports. and one and One-half times the ValuA of all exports, in the years just preceding the war, In pro- ducing these goods material was i'm ported to a value of s1,S00.OO0 or more than double the highest pre-war figures. According to an analysis
 
 New York. the manufacturing material imported last year was sixty-one per cent of all imports, as compared with forty eight per cent, in 1914; while the exports were as siXty-sX to forty seven. Material" of course, includes not only raw goods, but products which themselves have been manu- factured out of raw material, as hides or tin
 The American silk, tin plate and rubber industries are outstanding ex- amples Of manufactures that could not exist without imports. For the na- terlal we are as dependent on for eign sources as the worlds cotton manufacturing industry is on the American plantations. And it has been the weakness of our foreign trade policy that we have been con- tent to buy without making any special exertion to sell to those who take our money.
 In striking contrast to that easy going way, Germany has cultivated systematically the policy of paying for her foreign purchases of raw ma- terial in goods Of her own manufac- ture. That accounts for the pheno- menaI success she has had in "cap- turing the worlds markets. Stern necessity was at the bottom of the poljcy-she had to import in order to export and she had to export to live
 American manufacturers have never been, and will not be confronted with an equivalent necessity. Taking the worlds markets as a whole, the bal ance of trade has been in our favor because of the independence of many of our foremos industries and because of our resources of foodstuffs or ex- port. But there is no reason why we should not seek markets progressively in all cour tries from which we draw material instead of paying them good American money to be handed over to manufa cturers in other countries.

Husbands Less "Jumpy"
(Pathhnderl

Married men stand shock much better than unmarried they are less nervous and excitabe," said Dr. J. T. MacCurdy of the medical corps at meeting of doctors in Boston. 1t would be interesting to know whether this is because married men have had their nervousness taken out of them by domestic trial and discipline, or whether it is because the normal, we'll poised man tends to marry while the excitable and ''junipy" one tends to shun 1natirnony just as a nervous horse will shy at anything unusual. Probably the truth is that marriage. being natural, is both a cause and a result of nornality, while celihacy, being the unnatural condition, is roth a provocative and an index of a self control that is below par.

 And the sage. secure in his wis., dom, consented.

President Wilson put his finger di- rect1y on the sore spot of the ship building strike and from now on we may hope that there will be quick action in it's settlement. Tn his te1e- gram to the president of the carpen- ters' and joiners' union Mr. Wilson refused an audience at the White House, which was about the quickes way to squelch a notcriety seeker. Whenever some men get chance to jump into the 1imelight they land with both feet so firmly planted that it takes derrick to yank them back into the shadows. The president of the carpenters union has been po- litely but firmly told that he may ex- pect a. conference with the President of the United States, in the executive offices at Washington, when the strike is called off,--and not until then.
