5-EXPORTS

Perhaps it will be thought that
on account of the war the United
States has exported so much more
coal than formerly as to account for
the shortage.
AS matter Of fact, the exports,
according to figures compiled by the
National City Bank of New York,
have not greatly increased. Accord
ing to these figures the United States
exported in 1914 a total of 1864
600 tons of coal, valued at $49,921,-
900. During 1915 exports dropped
100000 tons, but in 1916 exports
went up again to more than 22,500,-
900 tons. In 1917 total coal exports,
both anthracite and bituminous, were
"a, 4,269,000 tons, valued at $S3,119,-
900. During the same period ex-
ports of coke went from 742.476
tons in 1914, valued at $2,790,000, to
900 tons in 1917, valued at
Sc, ,281 900 in round numbers.
OF the total exports of coal during
all of this time, Canada has taken
rather more than half, with other
countries importing our coal as fol-
lows:
Argentina, Brazil. Uruguay, Italy,
Panama, Mexico, Cuba, other West
Indian Islands and Bermuda,
Bunker Supply
The increase in( the quantity of
bunker coal supplied at United States
ports to foreign trade vessels like
wise shows too small a change to
have affected the coal situation to
an appreciable extent. In 1918 the
quantity of bunker coal thus sup
piled was 7,350,00O tons, valued at
23,690,0O0. In 1917, 7,729,O
bunker tons were supplied, with a
value of $30,496,00O. The above
figures would show that out of a
total increased production of ap-
proximately S0,000.00O tons for 1917,
as compared with 1913, the exports
of coal and the increased bunker
supply to vessels have used up only
about 100000 tons altogether of
this increase, leaving the net gain
1or purely domestic purposes at
about 100000 tons.
1t has been seen that the actual
quantity of coal produced in the

Pershinq's Military Policy

"As a military policy we should
have:
A permanent military estab-
lishment large enough to provlde
against sudden attack.
"B.-A small force sufficient for
expeditionary purposes to meet our
international obligations, particular
ly on the American continent.
"C.-Such force as may be neces-
sary to meet our internal require
ments.
"D.-A trained citizen reserve or
ganized to meet the emergency OF
war.
I'm addition to preparing our
young manhood to defend their
country, universal military training
brings many benefits which our
Government should hasten to pro-
vide. 1t develops the physical vigor
and manliness. 1t develops the
mentality. 1t would decrease illit-
eracy. 1t teaches men discipline
and respect for constituted authori-
ty. 1t encourages initiative and gives
young men confidence in themselves
1t better prepares young men for the
duties of citizenship.
Such training is especially need
ed among our alien population, who
would learn something of our Ian
guage and our institutions. All these
benefits have been bestowed upon
the men who composed our forces
during the war and the benefits OF
such training should be universally
extended to all our young men
Through services it increases theii
patriotism. 1t broadens their views
through associating with men of al
classes. 1t is democratic.

The Basket of Memories

This is the market of live and learn,
Here is the stall where they sell
the spring.
And here is the stand where the
memories burn.
And what will you have? There
is everything!
Sell me, oh, sell me, dear merchant
- of joy.
Memories of childhood in far
away lands.
And dear little visions of old play
mate faces,
Comrades of youth holding hands
ih our hands!
This is the market of never again.
Bouquets and branches of beauti-
full joys,
So fill up your basket, ye women and
men,
With memories of days of the
girls and the boys!
Sell me, oh, sell me, dear keeper of
stalls,
A lane in the country, a rose by
the gate,
The sweet honeysuckle all over the
walls,
And the rose by the path in its
regal estate!
Home, with the basket aswing on
your arm,
Brimmed with the dreams of the
days that have been,
And roads running sweet by the
village and farm,
And down through the valleys and
meadows of green!
Fill high the basket, the stalls are so
fine
In life's dreamy market, and
prices are low
For all that they ask is a smile, with
it's wine,
And away with your basket piled

Father Stole Gypsy Queen
[From the Portland OregonianI


A Romany love story involving
the possession of pretty Bakouche
Mark, gypsy queen, the tale of a
marriage after the quaint old gypsy
customs and a breathless escape in
the high powered motor car of her
father after this marriage and
proved irksome, was related in mu-
nicipal court when Steve John, lead
er of a gypsy band, appeared on a
charge of kidnapping his own
daughter from the girls mother-in-
law, Rosa Mark.
1t was q case of her daughter-in-
law or her ducats with Rosa Mark,
who declared that she had paid $500
for the girl at the time of the mar
riage to Michael Mark few months
ago.
Representations being made by
the District Attorney that the girl
had not been taken away against
her will, and that 1t was consequent
ly not a case of kidnapping, the
judge discharged Steve John. Pretty
1S-year-old Bakouche Mark and
Rosa Mark, who had been held in
connection with the case, were also
released.
"I want to go back to my father"
said the girl in court.
She said that following her mar
riage her mother-in-law sent her to
~Oregon City to tell fortunes. and
that she made SIS day, which was
appropriated by Mrs. Mark.
The girl said that her youthful
husband was lazy and that she was
tired of living with him. She said
she wrote a letter to her father and
asked him to come and get her and
take her away from a life which
had proved unhappy.
There were other witnesses, how
ever, who asserted the fact
that Steve John had discovered a
suitor at Sacramento who was will
ing to pay $4,000 for the girl which

This Is Americdnization

Get acquainted with your next
door neighbor, the foreign-born i'm
migrant, and make him feel at
home, if you want to protect this
country from radicalism in thought,
word and action" is the advice of
Judge Joseph Burlington. of the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals, an authority on immigration.
For twenty-five years this judge
has sat in the naturalization court.
Stirring the melting pot for so long,
the judge, than whom there is no
stauncher advocate of Americanism,
knows the immigrant from A to u.
Out of every seven of our Ameri-
can population one is foreign-born
citizen and another the son or
daughter of foreign-born parentage.
America has been guilty of snob-
bishness, according to the judges
observations; instead of welcoming
the immigrant with a hearty hand
shake and making him feel at home,
quently he has fallen into the hands
of false prophets. These agitators
preaching false doctrines, have led
the immigrant away from the ideals
that lured him to our shores.
Mix with him. admonishes
Judge Burlington. "If he hasn't
started right over here it is our
fault. Teach him right and he'll &c
right. What the foreign-born die
during the war is the best evidence
of what he will do under enlight-
ened guidance. Remember, the
basis of democracy is self-govern-
ment. That, means government OF
self and not selfish government. AS
people we are all of two classes
those grasping for so-called right;
and those doing their duty. One
thousand men must do their duty
that one man may enjoy a single
right. Let's do our duty and be g
brother to the foreign-born.'

Force Of Habit

A weary editor I know,
A man forlorn, who's on the go
From early morn to midnight china
Refusing poets all the time,
Declining verse
And stories terse:
Some of them mine, too-which ia
worse!
He has an automatic way.
And wades through half-a-ton n day.
And on the yarns unwanted he
Sticks little tabs monot-nously
And back they fly
To writer's shy,
Who weep and wish that he might
die.
One day the firm of Fee and Film
Dispatched big blue form to him.
Which said an uncle in Fiji
Left him a noble legacee;
And he with speed
Returned the screed,
Declined with thanks!" pinned to
the deed.

MR.. HAYS SPEAKS

<tVTfE MUST develop a reason
wv able method for honest
and efficient labor to ac-
quire an interest in the business to
which labor is expected to give its
best efforts" said National Repub-
lican Chairman Will H. Hays speak
Ing at Springfield, Ill, last night.
And he continued: Pending this
development the equilibrium between
production and wages must be es-
tablished and there must be justice
for all - exact justice, the justice
of right and reason, but not of
force"
If the Republican party goes be-
fore the people on that kind of a
platform next year it will sweep the
:ountry, as it ought to do.
The average businessman is no
mere dollar getter. He must make a
profit or go to the wall. No man,
whether he be businessman or lab
lrer, works for nothing. So, first of
al, the businessman must see to It
hat there is a proper return on
the money invested. But beyond
that he has come to the place where
he is very willing to share, and share
generously. Capital never again will
make the profits it did few years
ago, and most industrial managers
accept this condition with good grace
and are willing to go along. But
before they can talk profit-sharing
or business co-partnership they must
be assured that there is going to be
something to divide. In short be-
fore any real progress can be made,
labor and capital must get together
on something like reasonable basis
of understanding. And strikes and
lock-outs are poor ways of reaching
that happy stage.

Old Constitution Good Enough
[From the New York Times,1

IhC ANS" VI
So there was nothing. nebulous,
vague or intangible about American
freedom. The Constitution, whose
birthday the Nation celebrated a
few years ago, was no glorious spree
of words like the French Declara-
ton of the Rights of Man. 1t was
made up of hard and practical
declarations, and we have lived by
them ever since. Now we are told,
suddenly that new charter OF
human liberty has been discovered
and are invited to take it as our
guide and sail unknown seas utter
ing invocations in it's name. The
old Constitution served us well. 1t
served we'll the men who came here
from other countries. Now that 1t
Is suddenly assailed by some among
them who have been at no pains to
learn what the instrument means,
what the principles of our Govern
ment are, and by their intellectual
blood-relatives of American descent,
the men and women who love 1t and
believe in 1t should awake and
stand by it.

<kVTT know that the forty

This is quotation from some reso-
lutions by the Farmers National
Congress at Hagerstown, Md, in op-
position to radical labor methods
and in protest against domination of
affairs by comparatively small mi
nority of the people. The conference
went on record as favoring a Fed
era1 Court of Arbitration and also
proclaimed the conservation of the
American farmer a bulwark of ma
tional defense against the dangerous
foreign influences at work to-day"
Day by day the influence of con-
servative thought in this country is
more and more permeating all
classes of the people, and it is be-
lieved that the time is not far dis
tant when we shall emerge from a
period of unrest and discomfort un-
paralleled in the history of the
United States with chastened spirit
and better appreciation than ever
before of the splendid heritage of
our institutions, our liberty and our

For the conservation of water
