manufactures ready for m from S726,-
100000 to 1880 600 900; miscellaneous and foreign
exports from $42,oOO,oOO to s77,oOo,Ooo.
The import groups show the following increases:
Crude materials 1854, 900, 900 to 81, 476,O00 900; crude
foodstuffs from s24s, OOO,O0O to $685., 900, 900; pre-
pared foods from 1927, 000, 900 to s507, 100000; part
1y manufactured goods from $4,000, 900 to SILL.
100000; manufactures ready for consumption at
$44s, 000, 900 to S717, 000,000; miscellaneous 17,00o,-
900 to 1s,o00,o 900.
Exports for 1914 totaled $2,365, 000, 900; imports
1885,, 000, 600. Assuming a population increase of Is
per cent, 1914 to 1923, exports increased 81 per
cent and imports nearly 100 per cent under a pro
~tective tariff law. This is certainly proof positive
that the tariff is not prohibitive and under it our
foreign trade increased 50 per cent
The incentive to manufacture given by the tariff
law Is indicated by the fact that imports Of the
two groups, crude and partly manufactured arti-
|cles, increased from 1854, 1000 in 1914 to s21s7,
10000 in 1923. And tho 60 per cent increase in i'm
ports Of manufactured goods indicates what a fair
share of the American market was accorded foreign
factories.
Considering the trade on the basis of percentages
by groups, we find that imports of crude materials
1914 to 1923, increased 1873 per cent, exports % per
cent; partly manufactured goods, imports 122, ex-
ports 80 per cent. Imports Of these two groups show
large increases relating to exports, both transac-
lions indicating that the value added to the prod
ucts by American labor was steadily increasing.
Combining the two foodstuffs groups, imports In
creased 81 per cent while exports increased 12s per
cent a very satisfactory showing In the face Of
many difficulties. A recent compilation shows that
the export of eleven meat products increased from
an aggregate of LOIS, 000, 900 pounds worth s124,-
100000 to 1905, 900, 900 pounds worth $259, 000, 900;
and five grains from 112,5o0y000 bushels worth

Assessment Is Illegal

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that the col.
lection of the -four mill levy for high
school construction in the Sheridan
city school authorized by Sheridan
voters AT a special election here July
7 conflicted with a section Of the 1890
state laws. the Sheridan county COM
miss,oners Monday afternoon refused
approval of the certificate of the Sher-
idan school board offered preliminary
to assessment of the levy.
Cyrus Carpenter, former county as
SCISSOR. presented an objection to the
levy to the commissioners and the
commissioners decision was the re-
suit He declared that the levy con-
flicted with section 27s3 of the revised
statutes Of 1920 which states that the
school boards are not allowed to GER
tify more money in a given year than
Is necessary for the prospective ex-
penditures OF that year.
TOO great a burden rests on the
taxpayers in the Sheridan school dis
~trict," Mr.. Carpenter told the com.
missioners. This district is obliged
to pay taxes for the education OF child
rem from all the rest OF the county
in its high school. I believe that the
county should provide a county dis
trict high school. or mako some other
arrangement for the equable distri.

His Institute Of Politics

The third annual session Of the Instituts Of Pol.
itics is now being held at W~illiamstovn, Mass.
Noted men and interested parties from all over
the world will address the different ssssiona, de-
livering lectures ON various subjects connected with
world politics.
It is not with any idea Of m~inimising the import
ance of the discussions, but there is one thing in
connection with the institute that excitss wonder
concerning the end sought. Is it m adjunct of the
league of nations, the sessions being planned to In
fluence the people of this country to enter the
league?
The thing which causes The suspicion is the
fact that the Institute Is financed by Bernard M.
Baruch, international banker and active advocate
of the league. Authority for such a statement Is
found in the New York Worlds account of the re-
cent opening of the Institute which said:
rBernard NJ Baruch Of this city will defray the
expense of the institutes session again this year,
thus completing the promise Of his original guar.
hnty."
This is the same Bernard NJ Baruch who, we
are informed, financed the visit to this country
of Georges Clemenceau, former premier Of France,
which visit was made in the interests of the league
Of nations. One cannot help wondering II the pur.
pose of the Institute Of Politics is not similar to
that of the '"riger of France 1t is a remarkable
thing that SO many international bankers are SO
interested In the league OF nations. Perhaps that
is one reason why the great majority of the voters
bare against it.

His Simple Inauguration

When Calvin Coolidge raised his right hand and
took oath before his aged father in the livingroom
Of, the Vermont farm house, to uphold and defend
the constitution of the United States Of America,
with the Coolidge family bible as the surety Of his
sincerity of purpose 1t was the simplest inaugural
Of any of our thirty presidents, since the found.
ing of the government. The lack Of ceremony, of
bands, of army and navy of admiring countrymen,
and outward show and pomp, detracted nothing
from the legality of the proceeding.
1t was in thorough keeping with Cccaidgs tradi-
lions and therefore American traditions Because
the Coolidge family has helped make American
traditions.
In every way the inaugural was typical of just
what Calvin Coolidge desired. It conformed to his
idea of assuming the presidency. OF a sacred trust
over a hundred and twenty millions of people. His
promise to uphold and defend his country's laws
had been given on other occasions; and how we'll
he had kept it is history, and proud history too.
The simple oath taken by Calvin Coolidge, that
plnced upon his shoulders the responsibility Of the
greatest power the world knows, was taken with
the full knowledge of what 1t involveA Nors-witA
the full determination to fulfill It to the letter.
The founders of the constitution, Themselves
plain and simple Americans of the Coolidss type,
looked down with approval upon the manner in
which Calvin Coolidge assumed his presidential
duties

Recognize Manhood

Statutes must appeal to more than material wei.
fare. Wages won't satisfy, be they never so large.
Nor houses, nor lands; nor coupons, though they
fall thick as the leaves of autumn. Man has a spir-
itual nature. Touch it and it must respond as the
magnet responds to the pole. To that, not to sell
fishness, let the laws of the commonwealth appeal.
Recognize the immortal worth and dignity of man.
Let the laws of Massachusetts proclaim to her hum
blest citizen, performing the most mental task, the
recognition of his manhood, the recognition that
all men are peers, the humblest with the most ex-
allied, the recognition that all work is glorified
Such is the path to equality before the law. Such is
the foundation of liberty under the law. Such is
the sublime revelation of mans relation to man

Our Foreign Trade

The United States closed the fiscal year 1923
with imports totaling s3,7s1 100000 and exports
1885,, OO0,0 0o, a favorable balance of SIG, O00y 900
The adverse balances of March, April and May
fwere resolved into a balance slightly in our favor
fn June.
With the restoration Of fairly normal conditions
in our foreign trade it becomes pertinent to com.
pare it with pre-war figures and the comparison is
rendered more apt by the fact that during the fis.
fal year 1914, the Democratic tariff law had been
n force for nine months, while in 1923 the Re
publican tariff had been In operation for an equal
length of time.
Considering exports first, we find that crude
materials for use in manufacturing increased from
1893, OOo,0 900 in 1914 to 1,1Os, 100000 in 1923; crude
~oodstuffs and food animals from 8 100000 o to
1874 100000; prepared foodstuffs from $2o3,O 900. 900
10 $5S5, o00,000; manufactures for further use in
manufacturing from $375,OOO,OOO to s4s7,OOO,000

Must Correct Own Faults

"Thc farmers OF MINNESOTA anu NOTtn DdkOtu
have found by experience that Legislative nostrums
of the agrarian bloc, such as easy farm credits,
restriction of the grain exchanges, representation
on the federal reserve board, and a high tariff on
agricultural products do not correct economic ills
or personal Deficiencies" notes the Chicago Trib-
une. @Ths ono crop wheat growers of these states
are still hard up. As is common with human beings,
they fail to look within themselves for causes, and
means Of correction, but attribute their troubles
entirely to outside causes. Thus they decide that
the low price Of wheat is the cause rather than the
condition of their misfortunes, and with the as
sistancs of their political demagogues they are cry,
ing loudly for n government guaranty Of wheat
prices. That means a government subsidy Of the
wheat growers.
"what would a government subsidy Of wheat
mean? The farmers of this country generally agree
that theirs is the basic industry Of the nation. De
stroy every city, and the wealth production and
necessities Of the farms would build them up again.
Destroy the farms and the cities would fall in
ruins. For the government to guarantee wheat
prices or to subsidire wheat growing, therefore,
would be to tax minor and weaker industries for
the benefit Of stronger and more fundamenta in,
dustry. Eventually it would mean ruin It Is no
way out Of the wheat farmers troubles. It Is a way
to extend those troubles to all other industry.
~The way out is not through legislation but
through common sense. Wheat prices are low be-
cause the worlds supply of wheat exceeds the de.
mand, or at least exceeds the ability of the world
to buy. When production drops off to balance de-
mand, prices will BE- stabilized at a higher level.
If higher prices are guaranteed, regardless Of sup
ply, there will be an incentive to raise even moro
wheat than the present excess supply, instead of
less. That would be ruinous. The farmers who
want it want the government, financed by taxpay-
'ers, to protect them against flood, drought, lazi-
ness, grasshoppers, and the consequences of their
own folly. What they most need is moro diversified
farming, giving them some crops they can sell and
conserving and improving their land until wheat
growing again becomes profitable through reduced
supply and increased demand.
"The wheat farmers position at present Is IN
.deniably bad. 1t Is also sad But many other farm.
ers nre getting their feet under them and working
back toward prosperity. Tho wheat farmers can
reach the same goal more quickly and with less
danger and disturbance to the whole economic and
Industrial organization Of the country If they will
take their lessons from observation of diversified
farming, which is prospecting, rather than from
political demagogues who promote discomfort and
promise improvement through such fallacies as
farm subsidies. .

The sun was already at its zenith
when Capt John Hewitt-comnis-
sioner of police-halted abruptly at a
spot where two jungle paths met
and realized that he had lost his bear
ings. 1t was precisely at that moment
that he began to regret that Pen
nington had not offered to accompany
him. Pennington had AN uncanny
knack of finding his way through ter
ritory that was absolutely unknown

him with the eyes of an oriental had
gifted him also with the mysterious
instincts of the primeval savage.
