What 1t Did To Us

June was the first full month Of life
under Mr.. Fordneys Emergency
Tariff Act, which was aimed particu-
larly against Canadian exports of farm
products to the United States. The
results as now reported from Canada
are that this trade underwent some
shrinkage along certain lines, such as
frozen meat, butter, potatoes and
wheat -four.
But what did the new Fordney
tariff do to US? Our exports to
Canada of mowers and reapers fell
from S59,136 in June last year to
525, 766 in June this year; ploughs and
cultivators from $253 300 to $24,698;
commercial automobiles from S502,o9O
to S97,313; passenger automobiles
from S1,271,481 to S703, 1911; locOmo-
tives from S114,417 to $4,000; metal
working machinery from S634,333 to
500, 800; steel sheets from S605, 100 to
S163 ,8O4; cotton cloth from $289,866
to S156,822; cotton from ~St,421,824 to
S637. 748-to note only a few items IN
4 long list.
The South sold its support of this
Fordney tariff for a puny protection
on long-staple cotton. What does the
South think it gained by that in the
Canadian market for its cotton
What do the hundreds Of thousands Of
men out of work in the farm nipple
ments. the automobile and the iron
and steel industries think they are
gaining from this slap at one OF the
great outside markets for their prod
ucts?

At the close of the World VA the
United States Government provided
for more soldier training in the State
Universities For many years each
student was required to take military
drill.
Some years ago there was a report
that Japan sent representatives over
the United States to view the pros
poets of a conquest for more territory
or effeeting settlements in Mexico by
force against a nation of pacifists
whom some thought were on a par
with Chinese. He found an academy
or a college on between two and three
hundred hill tops where thousands of
growing men were given military
drills, when most of the world thought
there was only one place, West Point,
to make officers. The Kaiser thought
the same about the pacifist nation, but
he learned that neither Wilson nor
millions of others were too proud to
fight when the sufficient causeS came.
Now young men in the State uni
versities may choose military science
versities may chose military science
for four years. The L. S. Government
gives a small pay and requires the
student to spend six weeks in the
training camp during the summer
when all expenses are paid and 81 a
day.
During this summer 1912 are in
training camps. The Applications
were made by 40,453. So you see
Uncle Sam has thousands who wish to
be physically fit and learn military
science with a pacifist mind. Knowing
how to fight and defend our national
rights and privileges does not make
a man want to fight, unless others i'm
on the nation.

100, 900 PRISONERS OF WAR
League Of Nations Has Enabled 10000
To Be Restored

League Of Nations Has Enabled 4O,OOO
To Be Restored
The prisoners of war who have been
restored to their homes by the League
of Nations now total approximately
100000. with a few more than 100000
yet to be repatriated, it was announced
by the League Of Nations News Blu
reau.
Difficulties which beset the work of
repatriation are quoted in details re-
ceived from Geneva, the seat of the
League. These give high credit to Dr.
Fridtiof Nansen, of Norway, High
Commissioner for the League of Ma
lions, who was called the guiding
spirit of the work.
Through DR.. Nansen the Soviet
Government was prevailed upon to ar
range for the transportation of 10000
prisoners from Central Siberia by
land to Europe, thus eliminating the
costly Nladiyostok route around two
thirds of the globe. This arrangement,
the bureau said, had made it possible
to close up the NladivOstok route after
Il $50 prisoners had been sent home
that way. Three Baltic routes and
one from No~yorossisk, on the Black
Sea, to Trieste, are still in operation,
it is said.
The total number of men transport
ed by the Baltic routes up to July /
was 400, 1000. the bureau announced.
The steamers used on these routes ran
from Riga, Narva and Baltic ports to
Stettin. In addition about 10000 more
were transported by land from Riga
to Stettin. Direct steamship service
now has been established from Petro-
grad to Stettin.
made in June, when it was esti-
that 1000 prisoners were wait
ing to be returned to their homes.
Many of these, it was said, have been
into service by the mushroom
States arisen since the war, and
thousands are believed to have lost
their lives in unwilling battle.

Can't Put Ont The Mayor

The National Park ordinance Great
ing a police commission and delegat-
ing to that commission the power to
appoint police for regular police duty
is illegal. Such was the decision of
the Supreme Court, through Judge
k~atzenbach, rendered Tuesday morn
ing, Of last week,
Mayor Waters had appointed Harry
Whilden, William Smith, and Harry
Conrad, who were not confirmed by
council, but held over in office from
last year. The antagonism' of the
Mayor and new council resulted in
Councils passing an ordinance Great
ing a police commission, taking the
appointive power from the Mayor.
The commission named Howard Mat
lack, Howard Handforth, Edwin Duerr
and Joseph Magee as police, and ref
used to pass vouchers for the salaries
of the Mayors appointees The Mayor
then refused to sign vouchers for the
salaries of the men appointed by the
commission. The Mayors appointees
stopped their services, but those ap-
pointed by the commission continued
their services despite no pay.
The Mayor to test the legality of the
ordinance, took the matter to higher
court.

= FORGE WASHINGTON made no
~ distinction so far as citizenship
was concerned between the native
born and the foreign born American.
In the words quoted from his farewell
address he takes it for granted that
both are alike in their heart devotion
to the common country.
Washington shows by the other
words of the sentence quoted that
America should not be dependent upon
the "whim of love" of its citizens, ma
tive born or foreign born, but that ii
has a right to demand loyalty and con-
centration of affection.
There are men today who seemingly
believe that, even though living under
the protection of a land enjoying its
beneticent laws and it's opportunities.
they may or they may not, as they
VIII, yield to it answering loyalty.
The country has become their own
either by birth or by their expressed
desire through the processes of nat
uralization. If they do not like it they
can leave it but while they are citi-
zens by birth or by choice the country
has a right to their loyal service.
W~ashingtOn's words are a compel
ling chapter head for a lesson in Amer
icaniZatiOn. There are some men, and
wOmen too, who in this day take a
light view of the sacredness of the
ties of country. The masses of Amer
leans of Ourse are patriotic and the
word covers the entire field of devO-
ton, but there are those here and
there, in considerable numbers in
some places, who plead what might
be called a self-determination of con-
duct and who would loose themselves
and try to loose others from the bonds
which hold them to their duty to the
country.
Washington believed in the future
Of his country. He knew how well the
Fathers had builded and he believed
hat the foundation and structure
would withstand the assaults of time
and human enemies. Recently the as
saults have become more persistent
and more vicious. The a~ssailants are
not Americans even though they may
have been born here or may have come
here to go through the mOckery of ac-
quiring citizenship. 1t Is something
for Americans to know the nature of
the enemy in order that they may
overcome him

livery American ~schoolboy knows
Il this speech of Patrick Henry. In
recent years serious speakers have
avoided it as a text and rarely have
used it as a quotation. Why? Simply
because it is so well known and has
been repeated so many times in the
years past for public platforms that
the thought has been it is worn
th~readbare. There even have been
those who have looked upon it as a
bit of "spread-eagleism" and therefore
not to be used in what they call dig
nified discourse.
The men who look upon this utter
ance of Patrick Henry in this way
lose sight of the spirit of the times
and the immediate spirit of the occa-
sion which induced its utterance. 1t
was a ringing and a daring speech
and it meant Americanism at a time
when only the fearless were thinking
of Americanism in all that the word
implies.
Freedom, equality of men before
the law, those inalienable rights of
mankind, which the Declaration of
Independence, only one year after
Henry spoke in Virginia, made as
plain as John Hancock's signature so
rhat all men might read.
Patrick Henry in this speech said
that he did not know what course
others might take. There were her
men who feared to follow the path
which led to independence. and there
were other men who did not believe
that liberty with equality could be at
tanned, or if attained could be MAIN
tanned. The doubling ones drew les
sons from the past and predicted like
happenings in the future. America
has given the answer to the doubters
In this country.
There is but one course that men
may take if they would insure the
preservation of those institutions
which were in Patrick Henry's mind
when he demanded liberty and made
death preferable if it were to be de-
MED. Americans born here or born
elsewhere have liberty in their hands
to keep or to throw away. American
ization has but one object, the teach
ing of that kind of citizenship which
holds liberty priceless.

Simple

Reports from Washington relating
to Republican difficulties over tax

gress and the Administration are I'M

It is different when Democrats are
in office. They are VIGOROUSLY in
efficient being cursed with what Mr..
Hughes used to describe as ''inepti-
tude.' They are destined by fate to
find government rather a complicated
affair, but Republicans always know
the answer. When they are in power
everybody is prosperous. Nobody IS
out of work. Factories are running
overtime. Taxes are moderate and
reasonable. The tariff is perfect eX-
Guiding all goods that compete with
American products without increasing
prices to the consumer. Perfect har-
mony exists between the Capitol and
the White House. international rel
ations are uncomplicated and the
country sings in c~ontentment.
The Harding Administration has
been in office five months, and we are
bound to believe that every problem
has been solved. Government is a
very simple thing after alp when it
is in the hands of the only party fit
to govern.-New York World.

Fruit Crops Slump Badly

Fruit crops from New Jersey farms
this year, according to estimates Of the
State Department Of Agriculture, will
be the smallest in many years. Other
crops while in most instances, smaller
than those Of last year, have not been
affected by adverse conditions to as
great an extent as the fruits.
The prospective production Of apples
is 1,152,000 bushels, as compared with
/, $4,000 bushels last year. The COM
mercial crop is estimated at 211,000
barrels compared with 1,075,000 bar
rels last year and $4,000 barrels for
1919. The condition of the peach crop
on August l indicated a production of
278,000 bushels, compared with 1856,
900 bushels last year and 1,018,000
bushels in 1919. a production of but
206,000 bushels of pears, as compared
with 843 5000 bushels last year, is indi-
Gated. Virtually all other fruits in
Guiding watermelons, canteloupes,
blackberries and r~aspberries, will show
substantial reductions.
Conditions on August l indicated a
production of II, 000, 900 bushels OF
corn, compared with 11,440,000 last
year, but the preliminary estimate OF
winter wheat shows a slight increase
from last year. Oats, rye, buckwheat
and both sweet and white potatoes viii
show a falling off, judging by present
conditions of the crops.
