"Well Blanced"

(New York Journal of Commerce)
 Governor Cox of Ohio has made himself spec ially conspicuous a party leader aspirant to a higher place in Government service; but in his address before the Iroquois Club Chicago showed himself to be an uncommonly well-balanced servant or the public in these days of confusion ment.
 The exceptional attitude of this State Governor and his freedom in expressing his opinions regard ians may not be ideal altogether sound practi- cally but it is refreshing of it's freedom and independence. It may safely be taken as an n- dcaion of general state of mind the direction in which it is tending. There is no doubt that the old party bonds have been absolutely loosened from the great of the people by recent events how ever much professional politicians in of office may cling to them. There has been tight grip upon them in the Senate in dealing with international relations and obstructng the plans greater safety and progress for years to It has caused good try on domestic conditions and activities It has upset the balance of mind and of conduct to an ex tent beyond any modern precedent
 We have now entered upon year of party com motion on account of the campaign for electing executive head and changing maintaining the character of the law-making branch of government It is to be hoped that the agitation nominating candidates and getting them elected office will not aggrayate the unbalanced condition, but will tend strongly toward restoring balance that be main taned. There is need of thinking and reasoning for the benefit and safety of the future instead of as- saultng and defending conflicts of the past the results of which cannot be reversed The pres ent needs to be closely considered analysed and the future provided for Our politics is undergoing conversion and 1t IS to be hoped that the result will be restoration of national wealth and strength

PLANT EXPANSION AND EXPORT TRADE

Available evidence indicates that industrial plant expansion whole in the United States during the did proceed at more than normal peace time rate the National Bank of Commerce in New York says in the April issue of its magazine, Com merce Monthly. This conclusion reached after study of the plant expansion situation with par ticular reference its bearing the curtailment of exports from the United States which is in pro- result of the adverse exchange conditions against Europe The expansion that did occur was irregular between different industries, the bank says being abnormal only in lines.
 "As any country natures indusriay,' the bank says "it needs export markets, in part to pay for those materials and other commodities which it buy abroad and in part to stabilize its in dustries by the development of markets in which it may sell in order minimize the effects of domestic depressions and seasonal variations in domestic dtions. An export trade, however, implies surplus No permanent advantage is to be gained by exports which produce scarcity in the domestic market.
 From the beginning of the war in Europe until April, 1917 1t probable that actual physical expansion ir this country proceeding ab- normal in many lines; but from the moment of entry into the conflict, because of the with drawal of men into camps, general expansion tarded expansion henceforth being directed into those lines necessary for purposes while other industries were corresDondingly retarded.

CARRANZA DOESN'T WANT TO LET GO

The new revolution in Mexico to be the result of the unwillingness of President Carranza to let go of the office of President. He had an- nounced that he would not be candidate for re- election and the campaign for the succession started But the calling of the election delayed from week to week, and month to month. However, the cam paign continued and Gen. Obregon became the fa- vorte candidate apparently, and then his support CTS in his State of Sonora thought they discov- cred plan on the part of Carranza to nip his boom through the use of the army. Carranza has been summariiy suppressng the booms for candidates This caused Sonora to secede for the purpose of preventing Federal troops from being sent into the State to prevent the expression of the popular will and thus to smother the Obregon movement-which until the rebellion in Sonora had been brought about through campaifn methods that are usual fin self governing countries

Dawson NeWs)


 Yukon has awakened to extent with the last few to the value of her fur resources The enormous prices the furred product demands the world over Is daily argument for strict atten- tion to the development of the fur industry. While Yukon's catch is worth approximately a quarter of million dollars a year. there is the yield cannot be increased That is saying the fur bearing animals should be ought to the degree of de- petion But 1t is well to remember that in many northern artificial production of bearing ami mals is carried extensively. The Federal govern ment of Canada has taken up this matter and all ready has issued some invaluable books the indus try. each prepared by an expert Yukoners contem- plating entering this promising field should secure and read these reports.
 Dawson has become quite fur center, but is far from having made best of all the possibilities even with respect to the present crop
 The fact Yukon is appreciated live fur center proved by the fact the live fur dealers Using right here for the business. They are the kind of people enterprising enough to go after the business. The man who goes after 1t is the man who deserves to get it. More powar to the with the push.
