The Bay state will stage q mighty

and the democrats are preparing to
take deliberate aim at it.
1t is the home of Mr.. Coolidge, who
in the contest will represent the ad.
ministration. He is nearer to his chief
than any other Vice President has
been. Mr.. Harding has made him a
counselor. Massachusetts,, therefore,
will be next in importance to Ohio. If
the democrats carry either, the repub-

carry both, the loss will be invest

plate is in big demand for the sar-

The movement of American manu-
factured products through Santander,
on the northern coast, facing the Bay
OF Biscay' which was very marked a
year ago. has practically ceased. 1t
has been made emphatically evident
that American manufacturers of farm
machinery must meet the competi-
ton OF German makers of cheap i'm
plements.
The demand for light American au-
tomobiles has shown some improve
ment. The sale Of American crude
petroleum and petroleum products, es-
peciaaly lubricating oils. has come to
be looked upon as a constant factor.
1t would be well for the American
overseas traders to keep their eyes
on Bilbao, also on the Bay of Biscay
coast. This port is experiencing a
business depression, but for some ten
or more years has been enjoying un-
precedented prosperity. the most i'm
portant fact being that the accumu-
lated wealth has been conserved, and
will be employed in the development
OF the natural resources and indus

The stability of American goods is
going to be one Of the strongest sell
ing factors. applicable to Spain and
all other countries. but probably best
illustrated recently in an order re-
ceiyed by an American firm from Swiss
interests located just across the bor-
der from Germany. They bought
high-class, standardized American
electrical goods, because they wanted
material that could be relied upon
not to change periodically. and SO
render obsolete the parts and supplies
needed for replacement. It was init
mated that German manufacturers
are constantly offering something
claimed to be better, an improvement
over devices submitted a month OF
two previously. This indicates that
the reliable, standard American ar.
ticle may continue to. be sold in Eu.

far cheaper German product. because

AS far back as last August the
supreme council decided that a COM
mission, consisting of two juriSts

Italy and Belgium. should inquire in

and report to them The commission
has met this month in Paris, and its
unanimous finding is against the

cept in few cases the court did not
try to ascertain the truth. that the
few punishments which it inflicted

less to submit further cases for trial

mand from Germany the surrender
OF those tried for retrial by allied
courts.

unanimous. corresponds more closely

Tho Right to Smile.

Tho Right to Smile.
This life's q serious affair
And far too short, we find,
TO settle every doubt and care
That creeps into the mind.
And so I said, There's need Of haste!
II Pleasure should beguile
The hours away, how sad the waste!
I have no time to Smile!'
A gleam Of sunshine crossed the sky,
A baby laughed with glee.
In solemn mood I passed them by.
They had no charm for me.
For had not resolved to take
The world In serious style,
And say, "All JOY is q mistakel
I have no time to smile!"
And this the breezes seemed to say,
"Shall these deny you cheer,
The splendid sun 50 Tar away,
The little child SO near7
Were light and laughter made in vain?
Pause for q little while;
Employ the heart and,rest the brain
And take the time to smile"

The Wilson Prestige.

Much Of the interest in political cir
cles that has attached to Mr.. Wilson
since his retirement from Office has
grown out Of the rejected league Of
nations. His friends have claimed, and
his opponents have wondered what
there might be in the claim, that the
Harding administration would fail in
its efforts to put something in the
place of the league, and that the fail,
ure would revive the league and in the
end restore Mr.. Wilson's prestige en-
tirely.
The pacts negotiated under Mr..
Harding's leadership are now in the
hands OF the Senate for ratification or
rejection. IF they are ratified-as now
seems more than likely-shall we hear
anything further about the league of
nations? VIII they not serve every
peace purpose the country has in mind
and at heart? If they are rejected.
shall we be thrown back naturally
and inevitably upon the work Mr.. VIII
son did at the Paris conference?
It is but fair to Mr.. Wilson to say
that in all the speculation that has
played around his. name since he left
the White House he has not once been
quoted. What his views may be about
peace and the future as affected by
the failure Of his negotiations and the
character Of the negotiations Mr..
Harding has concluded are as yet his
secret. And, as all will agree, Mr..
Wilson keeps his own counsel as well
as any man Of his generation.
There is no serious thought in any
quarter of a third campaign by Mr..
Wilson for the presidency. His health
forbids the suggestion. What has
spiced the confabulations Of the quid-
nuncs is q wonder about how he
would exercise restored ''pulr' and
prestige on the next democratic ma
tional convention, and who among the
democracy's leaders would best ex-
press wisconsin in both foreign and
domestic affairs in as strenuous tus-
sic as that Of 1924 now promises to be.
