July Exports of Manufactured.

The very latest figures of the exports of manufacturers-those of July-give fur ther evidence that the big gains in ex- ports of manufacturers have "come to stay" Manufacturers exported in the dull export month of July, says a state ment of the National City Bank of New York, average II million dollars a day against f-2 millions per day in July of last year, and for the seven months end4 ing with July average Il 1-2 million dol lars per day against g 1-3 millions in the same months of last year. The total ex- ports of manufacturers in July 1920, in- cluding the two groups, manufactures ready for use" and manufactures for fur ther use In manufacturing aggregated
 343 million dollars against 234 millions in July of last year, and in the seven monuths ending with July were $2,451,- 900, 900 against s200. .O00, 900 in the same months of last year. The chief increase occurred in the ground manufactures read for use'' of which the exports in July were 264 million dollars against 167 millions in July of last year and for the seven months ending with July ST. l 4s,0o0,000 against s1, 479, ,000, 900 in the same months of last year.
 | Another indication of the growing share
 which manufactures form of our ex- ports is found in the fact that the m | seven months ending with July, occurs | entirely in the trade with those sections I of the world in which manufactures form the bulk of our exports. Manufactures I banks statement, about 70 per cent of 1 form, in normal times, continues the
 the merchandise sent by us to our neigh
 bors in North America, over so per cent
 of those to South America, 80 yer cent of those to South America, 80 per cent of
 those to Asia, neany 90 per cent cent of those to Oceania. and about 75 tper cent. of those sent to Africa while they form, in normal times but about
 33 per cent. of those sent to ESprope
 With this in mind, that manufactures
 form the bulk of our exports to North

 Africa, and only a comparatively small
 per cenage of those sent to Europe. it is
 interesting to find thatsthe grand total oi exports, both in July and in the seven
 months ending with July, showed a biz increase in the movements to North and South America, Asia, Oceania and Africa

New York Physician Tells Why More Organic Phosphate

GETTING THE COAL.

It is to be sincerely hoped that the coal operators who have pledged the production of 12,0oe, ,0ao tons of bitu- minous coal week from now on until the first of December will be able to accomplish the task. They are fully aware of the situation that the country faces and they know what coal short age means. Likewise they claimed that they would do as much as they are now going to undertake throughout the sum- n1er. The failure in that respect makes 1t necessary to take the new claim with a pinch of salt for reservations are al. ready being made to the effect that suct production will depend upon getting the necessary railroad equipment.
 During all the difficulties that have been experienced for a period of year: there has arisen that same lack of co operation between the coal operator, and the railroads. There has been z continual cry of TO coal or no cars. | the miners were willing and ready t, produce coal the failure to get it wa attributed to lack of cars. If iron that standpoint an appeal was made t. the railroad administration the invari able reply was that there were car, enough and that use was not made o those that were provided.
 An improvement in conditions regard ing the railroads and the movement c freight has been experienced since th roads were returned to the owner. There is the possibility that the raj
 loads under existing conditions will nc

DOING AS HE PLFAsRs.

How President Wilson intends to run the government according to his own ideas regardless of the action of con- gress is well indicated once more by the refusal to carry out the provisions of the merchant marine act as required under section S4. This, directs the pres ident to notify other nations that the arrangements with foreign countries which interfere with the duties imposed under the new act must be terminated.
 This bill was submitted to the presi- dent and it bears his signature. In spite of that he now refuses to carry out the order from congress, which by the way he approved when he signed it, on the ground that it is unconstitutional and irterferes with his rights. Hereto considered unconstitutional he has ap- piled his veto. That is what he should have done in this instance instead of signing it and then picking out a cer- tain section and vetoing that by refus- ing to abide by it.
 It was at about the same time that he signed this bill that he vetoed the budget bill which he declared he was in sympathy with and it contained many fine features, but he could not sign il because it interfered with his rights. Il is to be noted that he followed differ. ent course with these bills for the same reason and undertakes to nainfa in that he can retain what he pleases in g bill after be accepts it and discard ths rest
 President Wilson attempts to justify his action by the course that was fol lowed by President Hayes when he wa required to abrogate two sections of : treaty back in 1879.

MAKING FOR SAFETY

In a letter to a Philadelphia paper a citizen of that city gives his approval to the efforts that are being made to bring about a reduction of the number of ac- cidents and deaths at railroad crossings. He deplores the losses and the careless ness that is invariably responsible for them and with certain places in mind suggests that a little attention direct cd toward the trimming of trees, the cutting of brush would of the removal of other obstructions would give a req sonable view and show the track even to a careless automobilist while the ma. chine could still be stopped.
 Such a suggestion is one that cannot fail to make its appeal as move in be half of prevention. It might likewise be suggested that such crossings coul( be guarded by signals or bells tha would display lights or make a nois, when a train was within a certain dis tance. Such would also give those wh, have their cars under control an oppor tunity to avoid a collision. Crossing can well be made as open as possibl and users given reasonable protection against danger even though they ar not used sufficiently to warrant the sta tioning of a crossing tender there.
 But even with those means of pre- vention carried out it is a question jus how much good it will do the careles driver. There are those who have n respect for a railroad crossing strang as it may seem. There is that unex plainable desire to take a chance, t feel that inasmuch as it was done one it can be done again. To such driver lt makes little difference whether the1 are signals or clear views, though sue warnings are due to those who are care ful

LOOKING TO CONNECTICUT
(Omaha Bee)

kOuldnd D66J
 Indications are manifest that the democrats are putting forth special efforts to defeat Senator Frank B. Brandegee, who has been renominat- ed by the republicans of Connecticut It is sincerely to be hoped they will not succeed in this purpose, for Sen- ator Brandegee'e enforced retirement would be a distinct loss to the coun- try, even more than to his own state. The only basis of democratic hope to capture this seat in the senate lies in what should be Senator Brandegee's s strength, his uncompromising devotion to public duty and his refusal to sur render his principles, even at the risk of mourning political enemies that might possibly be avoided by twisting and trimming. People hereabouts ad- mire a man like Senator Brandegee who stands for his convictions, al- though they may not always agree with his position and Connecticut vot- CTS can not be different in this re- spect. It would be bad and sad thing for all of us if a public servant of high capabilities, with such a record of eminent service in the senate, witE l capacity to do better through expert ence and increasing influence, should be denied the recognition and approva 1 he is entitled to. We are morally cer- tain that, regardless of democratic demagogy, Connecticut will sustain it. i reputation for patriotic broadminded ness by continuing Senator Brande. gee in the position where he is prov. | ing so useful to the nation

pEEvLoprSe WATER POWER.

For the purpose of getting the benefit of the cheaper power that is available through the utilization of waterpower there have been large ro-electric plants established in this part of the country and they are able with the as sistance of smaller ones to provide many localities with the power for the operation of public utilities and serve companies which distribute electricity for power and light purposes. They form a great reserve for concerns or compan- tes which make their own electricity.
 At the present time, in connection with the recent waterpower legislation, the United States geological survey is engaged in studying the power resources of the Atlantic seaobard between Bcs- ton and Washington in connection with project for the linking up of the hy. droeIectric enterprises with steam gen. eration of electricity in the mine fields and at other points Under such an arrangement 1t is figured that there can be effected 8 saving of about a third s,i a million a year.

THE GROWING CHILD
Helping the School Teaehe!

Nothing is so discouraging to a
 school teacher as the indifference and
 apathy with which many parents re-
 gard school work. Many of the strong, enthusiastic young teachers strive term after term to overcome this inertia by regularly holding par ents' meetings, and this method is sometimes very successful. But have you ever attended these meetings? If so you will have noticed that usually only few parents attend at all reg ularly; many do not come at all. Un- der these circumstances are you still one of those who complain about what is done and not done in your school ?
 Get out of the rut and show that you are really interested in your school. Visit the teacher in her classroom at intervals. Find out what her difficulties are, and then see if you cannot help her. In most in- stances you will be agreeably sur prised to find that the teacher is far

were practically twice as great in July, 1920 as in July, 1919. while those to Eu- rope, whose, takings of our manufactures are but small share of our entire ex- ports thereto, show a much smaller total in July, 1920, than in the same month of the preceding year. The total value of all exports to the five grand divisions in which manufactures form the bulk of our exports was, in July, 1920, BIO mill lion dollars agaiust 164 millions in July of the preceding year. while those to Eu- rope, which manufactures form com paratively small share of our exports, were but 341 millions against 404 mil lions in July of Last year.

Manufactures formed 50 per cent. of the total exports in the seven months ending with July of the current year, and about 53 per cent lin the month of July, against only AZ
 per cent. in July of last year Should the exports continue during the re-

LEDGE OF PROBATE.

Action which there was good reason to anticipate was that taken by the oei- crates in the democratic probate con ,.ention in the endorsement of Judge Nelson I.

It is in keeping with action that WAS taken on a previous occasion ana n line with that which Is being IoNo"eo tbrouqhout the state in retaining in or fee probate judges who have demon strated their efficiency in the admins rra+ion of such important and responsi- ble duties.
 Judge Ayling has for long term oi vaars successfully directed the business of the Norwich probate court He has been a conscientious and impartial ad' ministrator of the multitudinous duties connected v-ith the office and his quaiin cations are such that it would be mis take to attempt 70 make a change along nol'tieal lines. The office of probate judge is one that should be kept as fal away from politics as possible. Havin; found out through years of service tha the holder of such an office is capabl7 directing the business it cannot fail tt express the sentiment of tho peoph when both parties unite in their effort to retain him in office.
 The action of the democrats is mos commendable. Judge Ayling by hi methods of conducting the office ha gained a strong position throughout tn district, so much so that it would not i sn probability have been possible to' de feat him had the democratic part. named an opponent, but what is nor important is the fact that inasmuch a the right man is already occupying tn ofica there is shown the right disposi tion in keeping him there when his nam is placed upon both ickets.
