100000 Worth of Goods Year
Ending June 80.

Close estimates of American i'm
ports and exports for the year end
ing June 80 show that we exported
approximately eight BILLION dol
lars worth of goods and imported
five BILLION dollars worth. That a
total foreign trade of 13 BILLION
dollars as against a total foreign
trade of Alb BILLIONS the year be-
fore the war. Also considerably
greater than during any year of the
war.
Foodstuffs exported during the
year just closed show smaller total
than the previous IL months.
Foodstuffs exported will show a
smaller total than last year, but
foodstuffs imported will be nearly
double in value those of any earlier
year, aggregating nearly $500 000,-
600 against 1892 100000 in 1919,
S750,000. 900 1918, and se7S.O00,-
600 in 1917. This enormous increase
in the value of foodstufts imported
is due in a large degree to the ad
vance Id prices of sugar and coffee.
Cocoa also shows a tremendous in
crease.
This large increase in both i'm
ports and evoor.s occurs In he trade
with all parts of the world. Europa,
which sent us in the fiscal year 1919
only $373,00O. 900 worth of merchan-
disc, is sending lis this year consider
ably over a billion dollars worth. or
practically yhree times rs much as
in 1919, despite the assertions that
Europe would have little which she
could spare to the United States.
She is taking from us this year near
ly $4,000, 900, 900 worth of mer-
chandise against 1885, 900, 900
worth in 1919, and s4,S25, 900, 900
worth in the high record year of the

Burlington.-Thomas Henry Hart,
the oldest mail carrier in the state
passed away Friday at his home in
Fort Madison.
He was born in Denmark, Iowa, in
1888, being almost 81 years old at
the time Of his death. and had lived
in Lee county thruout his entire
life. He was a civil war veteran,
having served in the army for al
most five years.
On his return from the war, Mr..
Hart began carrying mail in the

Denmark. In 1891 he was transferred

Madison and Denmark, then later he
left the service for four years re-
entering it again in 1896, carrying
mail out of Fort Madison and then
carrying on the Star route. With the
advent Of rural mail carriers, he was

Initiating Great Men.

"If the teachers could only teach
the biographies of TIE great men
what it would do for this country -
remarked school principal the
other day. 1t seems a good idea,
though the schools try to teach so
many things now that they sometimes
fail to do anything thoroughly.
The time has gone by when you
could interest young people with
dry facts and dates You must give
them stories of experience, adyen-
ture, and achievement.
Probably nothing would do so
much to give young folks high ideals
as stories of what great men and
women have done. Almost all these
p ople started from small beginnings
al d the majority had to struggle
with poverty. Their lives were a ro-
mantle struggle against obstacles.
Young people who learn about them
would naturally wish to initiate
them, by struggling against their
own difficulties, and rendering SER
vice to their community and country.

INDUSTRIAL WARFARE.
Country AnXiously Looking for
Some Reasonable Solution.

The epidemic of strikes that has
ragged for two years has somewhat
abated this summer. Yet the coun
try feels that the respite may be
only temporary, and it is anxiously
looking for some reasonable solution
that shall do away with these terri
bly, destructive conflicts.
Industrial disputes as they have
been conducted. are practically war
fare. As far as cost goes, they are as
as expensive as a good sized war
They injure all classes. The princi
pal loss is not the enormous amount
of wages that the workmen forfeit,
but the creation of hostile feeling,
and the destruction of the co opera
tive spirit.
IN case Of war between TWO ma.
tions, one of two results always hap
rens. 1.--One power shows such
military superiority that is subdues
and rules over the other. 2.-When
military force is about equal. both
sides show a willingness to give up
some of the things they feel they
can rightfully cla'm, and they get
together or ccmbromisc.
The first kind of solution is not
possible in these labar wars Capital
Ian never suhdGe labor, since lat Jr
Is too we'll organized and powerful.
Nor is it likelv that labor will sub
due capital. # the conduct of tusi-
ness is made uupgofitab,e. people
will not go into business. There will
he industrial depression. Or else the
world will be driven into socialistic
experiments contrary to all expert
ence, which comparatively few peo-
pie desire.
The only solution, then, as the
Public Opinion looks at it, is that
every element must become willing
to go half way, to yield something
of its claims. 1t is better for every.
one to make some sacrifice, rather
than suffer the losses that come from
this constant warfare of conflicting
industrial interests.
Every form of organization and
government is built on compromise.
No one can get his own way in
everything. unless he goes of into
the desert and settles where no one
else wants to live. People get along
much better in the long run if they
show this spirit of mutual adjust.

and you will keep your patriotism on
straight so as to be ready to vote
on that day. Better keep posted and
have your patriotism on straight all
the time. Partisanism is not neces-
sarily patriotism. Every voter should
study and try to learn what is best
for the whole country. and vote ac
cordingly. We must have parties.
Their aims and objects are, or
should be, what is best for all peo-
pie. The history of the Republican
party has made since 1860 makes us
feel sure that the party whose candi-
dates are Warren G.. Harding for
president and Calvin C. Coolidge for
vice president, is the best party for
this country at this time. Therefore,
our patriotism inspires us to vote the
Republican ticket. We hope and ex-
pect that the election in November
next will make a clean sweep for the
Republican platform and the Repub-
lican candidates. That will be the
best insurance the people can have
that prosperity. peace and progress
under constitutional government will
be ours.
