CHILEAN DEFENDS
AMERICAN METHODS
NEWSPAPER CRITICISES BIJSI-
NESS METHODS OF UNITED
STATES EXPORTERS.

| SANTIAGO-(By A.. P.)-The
South American countries will be
commercial clients of the United
States so long as they are not able
to avail themselves of more adj
vantageous markets, says the news
paper Ultimas Noticias in an edi-
torial in which it asserts American
goods Ordinarily are of inferior
quality"
The paper says the war permitted
the United States to enter into COM
mercial relations with the South
Americans who "by force of neces-
sity were obliged to accept Americas s
strange systems, diametricalIy op-
posed to those that had been used by
the great producing nations of the
old world" 1t is well known. the
paper declares, that the methods en-
ployed by the North American ex-
porter differ notably from those fol-
lowed by the exporters of Great Brit
ain and above all by Germany.
The American goods apart from
being ordinarily of inferior quality
are costly, "the paper adds, and in
addition the goods are badly packed.
This results in heavy losses. More
credit and if they do concede credit
it is on terms little acceptable"
Replying to the newspapers charges
of inferiority in, American nlerchan-
disc, writer in the newspaper Ell
Mercurio, signing himself "Chilean
merchant" says: sIf American goods
are consumed by 15O,OOO,OOO Ameri
cans and Canadians-inf by nearly
half the population of the universe
are you not able to be assured that
American merchandise should be good
enough for we South Americans ?"
Answering the newspapers asser-
tion that American export methods !
are entirely different from those en-
ployed by the Europeans, the "Chi-
lean merchant" says there are two
reasons for this: First, because the
have demonstrated that
their system of selling has not proven
beneficial since sit only has facilita-
ted ficticious businesses without
resulting largely in
heavy losses through bad arrange
ments or bankruptcies, and second
ly, because the Europeans are not
able today to extend long term credits
through lack of means. The Chilean
merchant thinks the period of long
5erm credits has passed never to re-
urn, and continues:
What occurred here in Chile be-
,ore the world war? A foreigner
would arrive and set up business
with, say, 10000 pesos. He then re-
,eived visits from the statesmen of
European firms who would deliver
lim merchandise. At the end of two
7ears he would have a credit with
,hese houses for more than 10000
pesos. At the end of another year he
lad declared nkruptcy-accidenta
n fradulent-thus occasioning heavy
osses to the European creditors"
The merchant adds that Americans {
llways have extended credit to Sc
ious firms that respect their obliga-
ions and do business on solid basis

POTLATCH MILL WILL
RESUME WORK THIS MONTH

w. A. Douglass, amnager of the
Potlatch Mercantile company at Pot
latch, was in Palouse Thursday eve
ming between trains on his way home
from Spokane, where he had been on
business trip. He states that while
business has been quiet at Potlatch,
it has not been as bad as one might
expect with the mill shut down. He
says it is expected that the big plant
will be put in operation again some
time during April, which will make a
marked change in conditions at Pot
latch and throughout the district. A
majority of the men have remained
in town, count few days ago
showing only 13 empty houses. A
committee was selected at the time
the mill shut down to look after the
interests of any families which might
be in want. The committee has found
it necessary to aid only few fam
lilies, the families, in each case, ask
ing aid only until such time as work
would again be vailable.--Palouse

TAKES PRISONER
FROM PAT MALONE
SHERIFF COLE, OF WHITMAN
COUNTY, NABS HARVARD
MAN PAT HAD ARRESTED.

PALOUSE, Wash.-Geo. C. Nichols
of Harvard, Idaho, % miles east of
here on the w. I. & M. railway, was
arrested here yesterday by Sheriff
William Cole of Whitman county on a
warrant issued on complaint of his
wife and mother-in -in-law, Mrs. c.. E..
Whitford of this city. Nichols was
brought to Palouse by Deputy Sheriff
Pat Malone Of Latah county, Idaho,
who was on his way to Moscow with
him, and he was nabbed here by the
Whitman county sheriff.
The charge is based on the alleged
assault of Nichols on. his wife and
mother-in-law here Monday, when he
kidnapped his two-year-old son.
Nichols and his wife had not been
living together happily, according to
Mrs. Nichols, and some two months
ago she took the two children, one an
infant, and came to her parents here.
Monday Nichols came to town in
closed car and was on his way to
wife and mother-in-law and the two
children, the smaller child in baby
buggy. He jumped out of the car
and, according to the women, knocked
his wife down and kicked her and
struck and kicked Mrs. Whitford.
In the melee he is said to have
overturned the baby cab on top of the
baby. He then seized the older child,
jumped into the car and left for his
home near Harvard. 1t is not known
where the child is, but it is supposed
that he is in the care of Nichols
who lives somewhere in the
Harvard district
Mrs. Whitford, during the struggle, |
lropped her purse which contained |
,wo $40 bills and some other parcels.
When she went to pick them up the
,ills had been taken from the purse.
Nichols was taken to Colfax by
Sheriff Cole and it is understood that
lie is in the county Jail awaiting
earring

Lawless Abuse of Negro.

Governor Dorsey continued his fight to
check the lawlessness in Georgia to the very
end of his term of office, but his efforts have
been largely invalidated by his successor,
Thomas W. Hardwick, whose record as a rep
resentative and later as senator in congress
showed him to be man OF painful limitations.
Georgia will not gain in prestige by eectng
him governor. Governor Dorsey, in his last
message to the Georgia legislature added to
his Indictment concerning the lawless abuse
Of negroes in that state and made further con-
structive proposals for dealing with the situa-
ton. He declared that the protection of the
negroes in their rights is more than a local
question, it is a duty devolving upon the state
He proposed that the governor should not be
handicapped by having to wait to be called
upon when mob violence is threatened, but
that he should be authorized and. indeed, it
should be his duty TO see that officers get IN
immediate touch with the situation and take
whatever precautionary measures are advis-
able"
Governor Dorsey also emphasizes that some
official should be charged with the duty of
ascertaining, after the commission of a mob
crime, whether the officers concerned per-
formed their duties properly and that failure
of such performance should result in prompt
removal from office. He recommends the es-
Establishment of state grand jury and, as soon
the states finances permit, of adequate
state constabulary. His successor, Governor
Hardwick, has replied to these constructive
suggestions with a general denial of the
charges that Georgia is peculiarly afflicted with
mob lawlessness and with the vague promise
that he will ''vndcate the majesty of the
law" 1t is plain that Georgia has taken an
other step backward by electing Hardwick to
succeed Dorsey

Conserving Human Life.

The growing public sentiment in behalf of
the Sheppard Townley bill is encouraging. The
bill is for the protection of maternity and in
fancy. The General Federation of Women's
Clubs, numbering about two million members,
held at Dies Moines last year, gave the measure
unqualified approval The mid-biennial con-
vention at Salt Lake City, Utah, last month re-
affirmed the endorsement and urged the pas
sage of the bill. There is no apparent reason
why it should not be promptly adopted and
become an index of the settled policy of the
federal government to conserve human life,
health and happiness. The nation is spending
millions of dollars for similar purposes in car
ing for the cattle, hogs, sheep and livestock
interests of the country. Surely human beings
entitled to no less consideration.
Just now there is a tidal wave Of public
opinion in behalf of the AmericaniZation of the
aliens who come to this country and for a
higher standard of citizenship, physically, in
tellectually and morally. 1t is a movement of
the highest Importance to the present and fu-
ture of people. 1t had the enthusiastic
support of Theodore Roosevelt and was one
factor in his campaign against race suicide.
To save hundreds of thousands of infants from
premature and avoidable death, or from life
long impaired health, is an object of inestima-
BILE value. To conserve the health of the moth
and to save the community at large from
the serious defects and perils attending mota-
erhood is an ideal we'll worth striving for 1t
is indeed Q high order of patriotism well
of applied Christianity. 1t is inexplicable that
any intelligent citizen would oppose bene-
fcient opportunity to improve the standard
of human life in America and avert much I'M
necessary suffering and sorrow

The Vamping Lawyer.

We've often heard of the pretty woman de-
PENDANT vamping the male jury into verdict
OF acuuittal. but we were hardly prepared to
have it charged that lawyer had vamped a
jury of women. 1t has been done at Newark
N. j. according to Miss Elizabeth Blune, at
torney for the loser. The nine young women
on the jury were swayed by the smiles and
the compliments of the handsome young law
yer, Miss Blutne alleged She said that her
case won until the opposing lawyer began
to employ his vamping stunts on the women
Jurors.
Miss Blume AYERS she heard one of the
dainty jurors exclaim following the verdict
Honestly, didn't know what it was all about,
anyway. All of which proves that human
ture is still human nature. It was ever thus,
and probably ever will be. 1t is pretty difficult
for a man, no matter his boosted strength, to
resist the appeal of an attractive woman, if in
doing so he is not violating any moral civil
law. And why should not the same effect be
gained when the woman is made the target of
the enchanting appeals of member of the op-
posite sex, providing, of course, that he is
handsome n everything?

Old Sol On the Job.

We venture to say that even the oldest in
habitants, who usually have some way back
when stories up their sleeves, will frankly ad-
NIT they never recall June in which the corn
crop got such an unmerciful pounding on the
back day and night, as it has in the year 1921.
Since the first week in June it has been ham
mer and tongs on the part of Old Sol, without
letup or intermission. And today it may be
safely said. we believe, that Illinois never be-
fore showed stand of corn so advanced. If
July should continue to hammer King Corn as
has sister June the crop should be matured,
husked and cribbed by the first of August.
However, we are not counting the bushels of
yellow ears, yet Many vicissitudes Turk in the
path OF the stuff which makes Illinois sur
passing pork and beef during July.
