Foreign Trade "On It's Own"

Commerce may feel safer when it
is under the flag, but it does not place
its entire reliance on the national enb-
lem. Trade with the technically enemy
lands is growing rapidly, according to
latest official statistics of the foreign
commerce of the United States. In
February last our imports from Aus
tria amounted to $50, 419 while our ex-
ports to that shrunkcn country aggre-
gated $572,385. To Germany we sent
goods vauled at $18,598, 807 and from
there we received articles Of com
nerce valued at 1881 $50.
Nor are we completely cut from
Russia in Europe, which is neither
friend nor enemy. In February we
imported from Russia goods valued at
$55,627 and exported to the dis
traugh land things worth $910,308
These are long way from pre-wal
totals, but they show resumption Of
world commerce that is encouraging

street INSPECTION
Made BY CONTRACTOR
Who Expects Paving Weak In
Richmond To Be Started
Early Next Week

Anxious to get the work of paving
the Richmond streets started, NH.
Banks, of the contracting firm of
Hampton & Banks, Louisville, was in
the city Friday, to look over the
situation. The first consignment of
machinery with which the work is to
be started, has arrived and Mr. Parks
lis anxious to start another shipment
Monday morning. He inspected the
streets of the city and stated that he
was not apprehensive of being I'M
able to finish the contract within
reasonable time, stating that they had
a large force of workmen, and that
these men would be held, even though
the southern contracts now being fin
ished, We're completed before the Rich
mend work was taken up, since the
company wanted to get at the local
work and finish it without having the
! city hampered by the streets being
torn up any longer than possible. He
commented upon the difficulty in get
ting street work done these days, and
stated that the contractor was badly
i handicapped, owing to the shortage
| Of labor, however, he explained that
the only sure way was TO get the men
and "hold" them, even though they
were not steadily at work. This his
company is doing, with the result
that the weather is the only matter to
be reckoned with. MI. Parks, is Of
the belief that he will be able to fol
low closely upon the heels Of the men
now at wrk II the Richmond streets
and vii work to this end. He will
start shipment OF additional ma
chinery ard it is expected that the
first of the men will be in the city the
first Of the week, when actual work OF
mixing concrete and laying of tht
first asphalt will be started.

Mexico Setting The Stage?

If the many political factions in
Mexico are not setting the national
stage for another series of resultleSs
revolutions TO follow coming election,
all the external signs are wigwagging
false signals. Based upon the complied
-tions Of other elections there is every
appearance that the maneuvers of the
present are preliminary to events SINH
lar to those which accompanied the re-
tirement Of Porfirio Diaz.
The rapid changes that ensued are
familiar to American readers who may
see in the stage setting Of today a
state Of political mind strikingly like
that common to the period of Madero
Huerta and the earlier career of Villa
what is happening in Mexico and what
is sure to come later, is serious to
Americans only for whatever effects
they may have upon Americans along
the border and in the country to the
south.
The feeling for and against war
with Mexico is still strongly divided
and the swing of the pendulum ct
some critical moment may be the de-
Gliding movement Weather that enisu-
es or not, Americans will regret to see
the men who should be the steadying
stabilizing influences in Mexico lend
ing all their energies to demoralizing
their country.

had suspended for a few days at
time quite often during the past
few months, owing to inability to
buy paper anywhere. The paper
situation seems to grow more
serious every day The Daily
Register has enough white paper
on hand for a week or SO yet and
has three tons enroute from New
York since April g. Due to the
outlaw railroad strike and the
freight tie-up this hasn't gotten
in yet and there's no telling when
it will get in. The price of paper
doesn't cut any figure i'll the
newspaper publishing business
any longer. It's simply a ques-
ton of being able to find paper
that one can buy, at any price.
Charges of corner" in print
paper were made before the SEN
ate committees investigating the
paper shortage of Cortland Smith
of New York, president of the
American Press Association. Mr..
Smith testified that printpaper
manufacturer are in a conspira-
cy to regulate both production
and prices. To break the market
Mr.. Smith said, substitute. for
wood pulp must be found. He
urged a Congressional appropria-
ton of $250,0OO, to be used in ex-
perimenting with substitutes, and
asked that it be placed in the
hands of persons who cannot be
reached by the paper manufac-
turers."
Describing the country press as
having its back to the wall, the
witness declared that unless re-
lief were provided it would be
'annihilated." "Not half of the
country press will survive unless
| there is a drastic change in The
situation, ;" he told the committee

districts better facilities for education.
Mr.. ErnSt's continuous help has
been received by the churches of the
state, regardless of denomination. He
is an elder and succeeded his father
as superintendent of the Sunday
school, their terms Of service cover
ing a period of nearly so years. He
has been looking after educational and
missionary work in the mountains, as
chairman of the State Committee OF |
his church, and has succeeded in mor'
than doubling the amount heretofore
given for this purpose. /
And his work does not end there.
He is president of the Covington ~
NJ. G. A. and Il member of the Nation
al War Council. AS head of the VI
NJ G. \. he has been mainly instru-
mental in erecting one of the most
complete and modern buildings to be
found.
Son in Active Service.
He was active in every form of war
work and gave continuously of his
time, labor and money, whenever
called upon. His only son was serv-
ing at the front in France, as cap
tain in the regular army, when the
armiStice was signed. He had en-
tered the army as Il private during the
Mexican trouble and later passed his
examinations at Washington, winning
a second lieutenancy. Mr. Ernsts
sOn-in-laW,. John Z. Darnall, of Flem-
n@sburg, volunteered as a private and
also was in active service at the front.
His wide and extensive business and
professional experiences, as counsel
Tor and advisor to many large financial
and manufacturing concerns, has been
OF unlimited value to his state and
community, as he has been called upon
many times to give advice when mat
tiers of big moment were being cOnsid-
cred
Mr.. Ernst's record OF service in the
Republican party is a long one.
Good Republican Record.
Beginning as Councilman in Coving-
ton, he was kept in office by members
firing. For many years he was on the
State Central Committee and for four
years served as it's chairman. He has
represented his district a number of
times at National Conventions and also
has been one of the big -Four" from
his state. It was he, who, while state
chafrmen, established state headQuar-
tiers at Louisville, since continuously
maintained by the party. He also has
been liberal financial supporter of the
party during all three years and one
of it's wise cOunSellOrs.
Mr.. Ernst's father was William
Ernst, a banker at Lexington, subSe-
quentiy Covington. His mother was
Sarah A Butler, Jessamine county
girl.
1t was through Mr.. Ernst's instru-
mentality that the COvington Indus
trial Club was developed and through
his efforts that the campaign to erect
q magnificent headquarters for this re-
markable civic organization was sue
eessful.

EDUCATOR AND ~" LEADER
Ardent Supporter of Movement

ator John w. Stevenson and Judge
William r. Arthur and since has prac-
ticed law in Covington and Cincinnati
with the same aggressiyeneSs and sue
cess that have featured every move
ment worth while into which he has
directed his efforts.
CHANGING over the long list of his
activities one can see that he contin-
ually has enlisted himself in move
mentS in which he could accomplish
best results for the people.
AS trustee and member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of Old Centre Col

Lexington, and Of Pikeville College,
