What Do You Get Out ofH?

According to the report Of the Department
Of Commerce for the fiscal year which ended
on June 80, the United States exported to other
countries $4,465, 1853, 1898 worth Of goods and re-
ceived back from other countries only $1,179,-
46O,699. worth of goods. The trade balance, to
use the language of financiers, in favor Of the
United States was 285,993199.
A trade balance is supposed to be very
desirable thing and trade balance of over
three billion dollars is supposed t., show an
extraordinary desirable state of affairs, that is,
from the standpoint of the capitalist class.
But what does it mean to the workers in the
shops and factories who produced the goods
that are exported? That is of course quite an
other story
During the years just gone by the workers
in the shops and factories, in the mines and
mills and on land produced over four billion
dollars worth of goods which were shipped out
of the country. If the goods were shipped out
Of the country they did not get any good out of
them They were Of no service to them What
did they get in return?
According to the same report they got some
thing over billion dollars worth of goods
back. which leaves them three billion dollars
worth of goods short
Of course, some one will speak up to an
nounce that the capitalists get paid in money
for these goods. That is true enough, but that
doesn't help the workers any Money is only
valuable for what it will buy. We do not eat
or wear the money itself, and in this instance the
things to eat and wear and use otherwise have
been shipped elsewhere and the money does
not make good the loss to the workers.
What actually happens as result of an ex-
port Of surplus over imports is that the capi-
talists become the creditors of other nations
and draw interest on their credit balances, but
this does not help the workers any 1t doesn't
give them more shoes, or more food, OF more of
any other kind of goods, although it does ell
rich the capitalist class.
The trade balance in favor of this country is
an actual evidence to the workers showing
them how much they are robbed by the capital

"Our Government"
A One Act Sketch.
By H. E. Keas.

Time: The present
Place: Board sof Directors room, large in
dustrial plant.
Directors, general manager and super
intendent are seated around long table in the
center of the room. The plant has been closed
several weeks in an effort to break union labor
through an "open shop" campaign They are
in the midst of heated discussion as to the
best means to accomplish this when the door
opens and group of workingmen, caps i'll
hand, are ushered into the room)
Chairman Of The Board: (irritated by the
interruption, irascibly addresses the leader Of
the group) "Well? Speak out man! What do
you want?"
Worker: (hesitatingly, yet not without de-
termination) Sir, the plant has now been closed
longer than we can stand it. Can't it again be
opened? We are near starvation's door. Our
wives and children are crying for bread. Won't
you meet with us, sir, that we may find way
to come to an understandings"
Chairman (vehemently and with sneer)
Come to- an understanding, huh? We can have
our understanding right here. The plant will
stay closed until we break every damned union
in the field You fellows we're getting too In
fernally independent and now you can take
your medicine We are on strike. Get thatl
ON STRIKE!"
Worker: (rather taken aback by this explo-
sion, but naivey continues) "But Sir have
you considered the consequences Might not
the government get an injunction and perhaps
send you to Jail for unlawful restraint Of pro-
ductionl That is what happens to us working
men when we go on strike" (the other work.

breaks out into ribald laughter) "Injunction!

SHERIFF JOHN LOGAN is
CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION

In today's issue we print the an
nouncement of John Logan as can
didate for reelection to the Office of
Sheriff of Polk county. The position
of the Evening Telegram is TOO well
known III this connection for us to
dwell upon it further than to reiterate
what we have many times said, that
John Logan is the<best sheriff in the
ountry today, and we do not believe
this county will ever find a better one.
The position of Sheriff is very i'm
portant one, with most trying duties,
and it requires man of unusual quail
ifications to fill it properly. John
Logan has proven that he possesses
these qualifications in an unusual de-
gree, Absolutely unafraid, he yet
conducts his office with such tact and
discrimination as insures the mini
mum of trouble while at the same
time the laws are respected and en-
forced,
There are good men who want Mir.
Logan's office, and they have a per-
feet right to aspire to it, but in Mr..
Logan the people have a public SER
want who is tried and true. and we
believe they will retain him in the Of
flee he has so admirably filed.

There's a clever advertising stunt
oelng pulled Off at Miami to get a
Dig crowd out to hear Senator Reed
OF Missouri, who comes down to lam
hsst the President and talk against
the League Of Nations. It seems that
application was made for permission
for the Senator to speak in certain
park OF the Magic City which is con
trolied by the Chamber of Commerce
The permission, was denied and a
terrible furore has been raised, with
the result that Senator Reed will
nave tremendous crowd out to hear
him. The amusing feature is that we
saw a perfectly reasonable explana-
ton OF why permission was withheld
Tor the speaking to take place in that
particular park-but though this ex-
PLANTATION was printed in the Miami
papers, they do not seem to have been
able to see 1t. OF course, no man or
set OF men Of average intelligence
would undertake to keep any mar
nom speaking in a community.
They would know that would be the
best advertising they could possibly
give the speaker, But there is Aften
a perfectly valid reason why speak
er should be denied the use of a cer-
tain park or place.
