The Wonderful Year
(New York Times)

The extirpation of military autoc-
racy and the awakening of the in
ternational conscience were the
great events of the year 1918. 1t
was wonderfuI year in the annals
of human progress. not merely be-
cause the nations fighting for justice
and freedom overcame n powerful
foe, not alone because they Destroy
ed an evil, the source of unnumb bered
woes to mankind, but because con-
currently all the work awoke to the
consciousness that the thing it had
tolerated from the dawn of history,
the control by one or a few of the
destinies of the many. was in truth
an evil, a wrong, and must for all
time be ended. With us here in
America it is no new story, it is a
foundation principle, but history
will date from the year 1918 the
worldwide acceptance of the prin-
ciple that government must rest up
on the consent of the governed.
That, in q word, is what the nations
have accomplished in thwarting
Germany's attempt to extend her
rule over unconsenting people. All
the world now sees that she at
tempted a monstrous' wrong; and
all the world is resolved that any
nation that in future attempts to
perpetrate such a wrong shall be
treated as malefactor and put
down.

KEEP GOING AHEAD

OINCE city officials have deter
mined to collect ashes under
a municipal system they should
determine upon real inspection and
real service. The people will no long
er be patient with war excuses of in
efficiency anywhere in the citys ad-
ministration.
So long as war conditions prevail
ed the people were inclined to he
patient and to overlook many things
that under ordinary conditions would
have invoked widespread complaint.
Now that the war has ceased we
are getting back to earth again and
the taxpayers who are contributing
more larely than ever before for the
conduct of the city's business will in
sist upon getting a return for their
investment.
Boosting of salaries is all very we'll
if the salaries are earned and the
services rendered, but the people are
not going to be satisfied with COM
pensation without adequate service.
They have a right TO expect efficiency
and 1t is the duty of every official to
see to it that in all branches of mu-
nicipal activity results commensurate
with the outlay of nearly a million
dollars annually are achieved.
In passing. 1t may be observed
that a system of ash collection which
would mean the planting of ash cans
and garbage recep5acles along the
curb line will not commend any
scheme of municipal collection. This
good old town is on the map to stay
and no indifference to detail can long
continue without public protest.
Mayor Keister, very properly, in his
address at the formal opening of the
Penn Harris Hotel. dwelt wirh pride
upon the various stages of the city's
development and improvement, and
it is important that the record of
past achievement be not blurred by
failure in any respect to maintain
the reputation which tho city has OBJ
tanned for progress and scientific ad-
vance.

TRADE BRIEFS

England's Minister of Munitions
announces he is fixing export prices
of pig iron applicable to all exports
while existing maximum prices for
home delivery remain in force. New
maximum prices are also being fixed
| for steel delivery in England from
| February l.
A Belgian export merchant wishes
to represent American manufactur-
ers of hardware, furniture and up
holstering specialties, building requi-
sites, imitation leather, tin and hol-
low ware, mining requisites, nonfer-
rous metals, copper and galvanized
articles, iron and steel, engineering
specialities, drugs and chemicals.
According to the Chinese customs
return, pewter ware to the value of
only $1,476 and $1,036 was exported
in 1915 and 1917, respectively. How
ever, the export is undoubtedly much
| larger than this. Most of the emil
grants to the South Seas carry a
i few dollars of pewter ware in their
| baggage.
According to the Agricultural De-
! partment of the Argentine govern
ment the stock animals in Argentina
on October 1, 1918, was as follows:
Cattle, 25,S66,763; horses, S,323,S15;
mules, 565. 5.069;asses, 260,157; sheep,

hogs, 2,9O0,5S5.
Swatow Is probably the largest

Nearly 100000 pounds of hams,

China during 1917. England was the
principal importer.
The foreign commerce of the Phil

months of 1918 exceeded in value

The total value of imports for the
eight months ending August 81, 1918
amounted to $62,154,227, as COM
pared with $41.539,870 for the first
eight months of 1917. The total val

Where the Pope Stands

the members of the Sacred College.
lie said that he would do all in his
power to facilitate "acquiescence in
the decisions of the peace congress.
in order to insure a just and dura-
bic peace" Whatever is uncertain
about the decisions of the peace con-
gress. nothing is uncertain about its
determination not to restore to q
hrone either the kaiser who waits
at Eckartsau or the kaiser who
waits in Holland.
The pope also said he hoped his
work henceforth might be an echo
of the decisions of the peace con-
ference" The whole tenor of what
is reported of his words is that he
intends to work for the erection of
permanent, peace, and not lend
himself to any plans to restore the
state of things which made this war
not only possible but sure to come.
This is what the allies are seeking
for. The pope speaks as does the
President.
He recognizes. too, the economic
questions brought up by the war,
and the social issues, by saying that
he would labor for the protection
and direction of workers and the
counseling of the wealthy classes
for the good use of their wealth and
authority" Altogether it is a for
ward-looking declaration, and it is
of very great importance in this time
to have so progressive a pope as
Benedict XIV.

Governor and now admiral of New

There is attached a small sketch of

When one considers that this
waste land" now represents one of
the most valuable spots in the world
one realizes what changes a little
more than two centuries have
wrought in New York City.
What would Thomas Dougan have
said II he had been told that on this
waste land would one day stand
a banking institution returning its
stockholders over eighty per cent a
year?
