STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
shows more activity. Few signs of
midsummer easing. Trade and in
dustry pushed to deliver goods. Wear
ing apparel and metals lead in activity,
but few lines show quiet. Coal more
active and output growing. Great
boom in building. Strikes cripple ex-
port trade on Atlantic coast and
threaten building activities. Stock
markets active and Office forces ex-
hausted. Foreign exchange market
demoralized, with lowest quotations in
half century ruling. Weekly bank
clearlngs breaks records.

START CAMPAIGN
FOR GOOD ROADS
REPORT OF BIG MEETING HELD
IN MINNEHAHA COUNTY
MEANS SUCCESS
FACTS THAT WILL PROVE THE NEED
An Argument in Favor of Building
Good Highways Taken From a
Sioux Falls Daily Paper

That the people of Minnehaha
County are going to have good roads to
connect the farms with the towns and
cities is evidenced by the following
excellent article on the subject
taken from late issue of the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader. This is what
they say: Most reassuring for
ment in Minnehaha county was the
unanimous declaration by the good
roads meeting at the Commercial Club
on Saturday afternoon in favor OF a
bond issue of $2,500,O00 for the con
struction of a system of hard Surfa ed
roads in this county. Delegates were
present from every part of the coun-
ty and without exception, the repre-
sentative farmers present declared
that the people of their communities
were tired of jolting over muddy and
rutty roads, that they were convinced
that it was waste of money to de-
pend on graveled roads and that the
time had come, in their judgment, to
seriously go at the program of paved
country roads. The sentiment was
everywhere manifest that the country
districts entitled to as good
roads as those furnished by the paved
streets of Sioux Falls, that the peo-
pie could afford 1T, and tht now was
the time to strike.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that Minnehaha county Is particularly
fortunate in having an unlimited sup
ply Of granite rock which when
crushed will make the best founda
tiSn in the world for a hard-surfaced
road, as the Sioux Falls paving has
amply demonstrated. Everybody
present at the meeting wanted roads
that can be travelled 365 days IL the
year, over which farm products can
be marketed with trucks at mini
mum cost for transportation and by
means of which every part of the
county could be brought into close
and intimate touch with every other
part
The first thing to do is to get out
the map of the proposed trunk lines
and to prepare the petitions to the
county commissioners for the calling
of the election. Then will come the
organization for the campaign under
the leadership of John D. Deets, an
expert in good roads publicity, and
well-known in South Dakota as the
former commissioner of immigration
1t is expected to drive home to the
self-interest of every voter the eco
nomic importance of the good road
and if the voters of this county do
not show themselves as progressive
as did the voters of Woodbury. coun-
ty in Iowa last week who put over
a $2,5OO000 hard-surfaced road bond
issue by vote of nearly 5 to l, the
leaders in the campaign are going to
feel disappointed. 1t requires ia
vorable vote of 60 per cent OF the
votes cast to carry the bond issue.
The plan is to get 80 or IS per cent

The Presidents Bitterness

The opening discourse of the President
at Columbus has about the contents ex-
pected. There is the usual avoidance of
the issues in dispute. the customary
parade Of general phrases, persistence
IN the vagueness which is characteristic
OF other speeches from the same speaker
"The only people," said the President.
Il owe any report to are you and the
other citizens of the United States" The
declaration, which was, of course, ap-
pauded, means, if it means anvthing
that President has no responsibility to
Congress or to any other department of
government. This may be Mr.. Wilson's
theory, but it is not the theory of a Con-
stitutlon whose central thought is the
unceasing responsibility Of every office
and every department Of government to
another
Having proclaimed his exemption from
all control, the President next essays the
role Of prophet He says that if the
treaty is accepted "the men in khaki will
never have to cross the sea again" So
the future has whispered it's secrets to
him.
On it's face the covenant, unless modi-
fed, makes it certain if there is another
war. that the United States will be in it.
10 say our men are never again to cross
the sea is thus to say there will be no
more war. Mr. Taft not long ago ex-
pressed his opinion of those willing to
deceive the people by extravagant pre-
dictions.
That the President does not expect
warless future is sufficiently indicated by
his acts. He is supporting Secretary
Baker in his campaign to create a pro
fessional American army of 100000 men.
If peace is assured why spend billions on
armament? The President shows how
little is his faith in his prophecy.
Continuance in this kind of discourse
will delay rather than hasten action on
the treaty. Bitter unreason on one side
of a controversy is likely to develop it on
the other.
The country is most anxious for a
speedy disposal of the treaty question.
Basis for adjustment has existed for
some time. But as often as a settlement
has been about to be reached the Pres-
dent has relapsed into obstinacy. and the
wrangle breaks out again. 1t has seemed
at times as if there was a secret purpose
somewhere to secure the treatys COM

liar to that performed by the British
fleet. AS the German feet was locked
up by Jellicoe and Beatty, the Hapsburg
navy, reckoned on the eve of the war
as most efficient, was rendered harmless
by the unrelenting Gordon maintained by
the vessels flying the green, white and
red flag of Italy.
Except for this bottlng up of the Aus
trian fleet the transport of Entente
troops to the Balkan front would have
been impossible and the defence of
Egypt and India made more difficult. 1t
must be remembered also that the i'm
mediate impetus to the collapse of the
Teutonic powers was given by Bulgaria's
surrender, achieved by the SaIonca army
of the Allies, whose lines of communi-
cation were guarded, above all, by the
Italian navy
The daring raids Of the Italian navy
on the harbors of Trieste, PoIa, Parenzo
and >tlume early in 1916 and repeated
later; the sinking, in front of the very
docks OF Trieste, Of the Austrian dread
nought Wien in 1917; the destruction of
the Viribus Units and Scent Istvan in
1918; the exploits of Italian naval f1iers,
and the rescue of 100000 Serbian SOL
dlers and 1000 civilian refugees-these
were great events. They represent feats

exception profit sharing goes to smash
when there is loss.
Of the criticisms set out above the
first is probably the most important. The
average man, whose expenditure tends
to tread closely on the heels of his in
come, is averse to taking risks. The
capitalist employer, besides furnishing
industrial leadership, which is stimulated
into good work by selfishness, is also risk
carrier and distributes the impact of
many small shocks.
The perfected human animal, when
numbers of the species are supremely
intelligent and wise, will doubtless be a
cooperator and profit sharer. But in
the mean time the men and women the
world now knows, whatever some of them
say, have little liking for profit sharing.
They look kindly on bonuses, but a de-
duction when the business loses is not
viewed with favor. Thus, the Plumb
plan, although called a profit sharing
one, most carefully avoids committing
railway employees to sharing in losses.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-05
The Conte di Cavour

The arrival of the Italian dreadnought
Conte di CavOur, scheduled for Septem-
Der Is, will not only remind New York
ers of one of the most thrilling, though
comparatively little known, chapters of
the late war, but remind Americans in
general of the debt they owe to Italy
and the italian fighting machine on land
and sea.
Overshadowed by more spectacular
and geographically nearer events of the
war at sea, the exploits of the Italian
navy received little attention in Allied
countries Yet the successors to the
maritime glory of Venice and Genoa
have two achievements at least to their
credit whose Importance will be prop
erly assessed when the history of the
great struggle is written. They are the
bottling up of the Austro- Hungarian
fleet and the rescue of the remnants of
the heroic Serbian army at the end of
the disastrous winter campaign of 1916
'l6. In these activities the Conte di
Cavour. shortly to be the guest of New
-.ork, had prominent part.

Weaknesses of Profit Sharing

The special committee of the Fedora
ton of British Industries appointed to
study and report on nationalizations lists
the following objections to the profit
sharing principle:
/. Profit sharing is not desired by the
workers, interested chiefly in high and
regular wages rather than in obtaining
what they regard as windfalls.
2. Profits are not the correct basis for
calculation Of wages, because the remunera-
tion of the workers ought not to depend
on the successes or failures of the COM
mercial management.
3. Profit sharing would lead to great in
equahties between workers in different
works and industries and give rise to a
sense of dissatisfaction and injustice
a. Profit sharing at present in exist
encc gives small addition to the earnings.
and this must always be the case, except
where the capital engaged bears high
proportion to the number of workers
employed.
The weight of these objections will not
be denied by those who view profit shar-
ing practically rather than rhetorically
and sentimentally. Not much new has
beer added to the argument since Edme

launched his undertaking in Paris in
1912 and his experiment was acclaimed
and initiated throughout the world. Yet
the plan, although barrels and barrels

Ratification With Reservations

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations is ready to report to the Senate.
Its report, as adopted yesterday, rec
ommends the ratification Of the treaty
and the inclusion of a series Of reserva-
tions as part of the resolution of ratifi-
cation.
The action of the committee is a crush
ing answer to those so confused or parti-
san as to allege that the Senates leaders
were scheming to defeat the treaty alto
gether, or at least the covenant.
The reservations, all in the direction
Ct Americanizing the covenant and pre-
serving future liberty of national action,
are four: (1) No obligation to go to war
according to outside dctation; CD the
Monroe Doctrine is not weakened or
abandoned; (3) retention of complete
control over our internal affairs; (4) the
right to withdraw from the league with
out waiting for the aid or consent Of any
other nation or set Of nations.
These reservations command not only
a majority Of the Foreign Relations
Committee but will have, it is said, fifty
or more votes in the Senate. If all party
pressures were lifted, if the President did
not set up acceptance of his views as a
test Of party fealty, the affirmative vote
would be nearly unanimous. Only
handful of Senators are personally op-
posed to Americanizing reservations.

Regretted
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir: In reading over your paper of
Thursday morning, August %, hereby wish
to state that the officials and members
Of our local. No. 1854, were, indeed, very
much surprised, and our feelings were
hurt, by the article which appeared therein
concerning the attitude and intelligence Of
the Erie Railroad terminal lodge, jersey
City. This item stated that our members
as a whole were not capable Of reading
newspapers, and therefore were not being
informed as to the conditions of the coun-
try; also advising that the shops be shut
down for at least half an hour and send
Federal representatives to inform US Of the
conditions.
Now, wish to state for myself and mem
bers of our local, who are very frequent
readers of your valuable paper, that there
has been an error somewhere. Our men in
general are men of intelligence enough, not
highly educated but such that labor man
is limited to, and furthermore want to saw
that if our men were not properly informed
and following conditions closely that things
