NEW TARIFF WORKING WELL

During the debate upon the tariff the Democrats in Con
gress asserted that the present law would cripple our foreign
trade and commercially isolate the United States from the
other nations Of the earth. The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. Exports of domestic manufactures from the United
States in the fiscal year 1924, which ends June 30, will ma
terially exceed those of the fiscal years 1922 and 1923. 1t is
now apparent that the excess over 1923 will be about $780,
100000, and the excess over 1922 will be more than 100000
coo. The trade will also be far greater than that of any year
preceding the war. Nearly every class of manufactures except
cotton goods was in this growth.
Wyoming has shared in the benefits derived from the new
tariff law through the stimulation Of the sheep industry, the
iron industry, the sugar industry and many other products.

'ernment statements concerning the
recent Georgian uprising have greatly
understated the seriousness of the

greatly overpainted it.
The writer has heard several ac-

actual uprising collapsed almost as

NEW RAVENS ENGINEERS

If is noted from an edition of the New Haven time table that an article is included denoting the years of serv- ice of some of the company's engineers The significant statement is. made that the length of time that it's 1,765 en- rinors have been in the service or the New Haven adds up to 2S,76S years The average length of service Of all passenger train engineers IS lo'' vears. An engineer must go through a ncriod of training from to 10 years before he can qualify for passenger train service.
 It appears that there are live cases in which both father and son are ac- ,ivcly in service as engineers; there are two cases where fathers are em- ployed as engineers and the sons as fircmen: and one case where father and his two sons are engineers. Two brothers are engineers after their father and grandfather were also en- gineers.
 The New Haven circular refers to inc business of engineering as re sponsible profession" that is an apt designation. Considering the high standards required for the profession the regular examinations as to eye sight. color perception and mental and physical condition, the job Is one that is nearly in a class by itself in the realm Of wage occupations. 1ntelli- gence. alertness, quick thinking and experience are the ingredients of successful engineer; and we all know what sometimes happens when one or these necessary qualities is absent for only one moment.
 The New Haven compliments its engineers and their character Of man hood. and doch it so as the public can take notice.
 The railroad not only gives earned credit 10 it's throttlemen. but also Tn the very act Of extending such praise does credit 10 itself.

TRACK WALKERS

The railroad dislikes traeIrwalking' Ever so often corps Of New Haven detectives win descend upon an aegre- gation of track-walkers in some small town and hale them before the beak' where fines sometimes are meted out
 Track walking Is dangerous--to tho walkers not the tracks or the rsii- road. The locomotive has much inc advantage Tn every melee between us cow.cntcher and track-walkers. But the railroad doesn't want 10 XIII OH the innocent population and therefore attempts to prevent track'walkers from cluttering up the right of way; and If conditions become so bad that difficulty Is experienced In maintain ing the rights of the iron steeds then the detectives receive an assignment
 II these detectives descended upon New Britain at the noon hour and LOOK a glimpse along the main branch line of the New Haven railroad proudly stemming its way through the leading parts of the city, they would suffer a conniption fit. It would be impossible to see the right of way from the vantage point of Main street and the railroad tracks-the said right of way would be blanked by solid wall or hurrying humanity disgorged from the factories.
 The workers have no more regard for the right of way than they have for the inherent rights of mosquitoes' They trample. upon it in disdain. 1T few clustering detectives ever tried to stop them it would be like two field marshals and a colonel attempt ing to fight an entire army we wouldn't venture to gamble German mark on the success of the detectives
 Yet the fact remains that track walking, in New Britain as elsewhere ia dangerous provided there are any trains coming. It is barely possible that, the railroad tracks being the widely-know branch line which Ne" Britain makes important by its pres ence, there is less danger as trains do not run upon it in'alarming frequency. Still. to be killed by so-called train that stops at every whitewashed fence along a branch line may be qulte as effective as being killed on the main line by an express.
 Each day. when this migration or sons of toll along the railroad tracks takes place, the hired hands employed by the railroad company suspend operations and look on in amazement', They don't raise their hands in hor- TOT, exactly; but they speculate at what would happen If a fast tram onerated by blind engineer should happen along.

 Folks at Harvard or Yale may think this distinction is important, although this isn't certain. But 1t appears from thls vantage point in Connecticut that the word folks" has a pretty wide ap- nlication, Is in general use In prefer ence to folk" and Is destined to con- tInue more preferable to the 'oid Folks at Home"

AS WAS EXPECTED

From the time when the Anglo American bankers got in touch With the London conference and read to it's members sort Of unofficial ul- timatum that, there would not be the needed sgOO. 1000 German loan noated unless Its security was insured, if was regarded as certain that the conference could do nothing but &C., cept the Dawes plan in the long run, This they have done; and now all that remains to put Europe on It's feet is the ratification by the respective parliaments.
 The loan, although ostensibly to Germany. is one that will greatly benefit France. The important point of when Germany is to be judged in |. default is given for final decision to a neutral committee of three members, after the separations commission, With an American sitting upon it as umpire places such contingency in the hands of the neutral committee. Another in- vaaon of the Ruhr is not made i'm possible, but improbable,
 The Dawes report went only so Tar as commanding economic evacuation of the Ruhr; but the London confer ence has gone further and has decided upon military evacuation as well. this being brought about by a supple mentary agreement, and will be com- pleted within a years time.
 Understhe agreement Germany Will pay approximately sS0o,oOo,Ooo a year. At this rate It would take less than 60 years for her to pay off the s33. 900 ,000, 900 assessed against her by the reparations commission as the war indemnity. This is the length or time it will take England to pay OH her funded indebtedness to the United States. What will be done regarding the continental debts to the United States is not yet determined, some fnanciers holding that the debt owing us from continental nations are so high that they will never be paid off
 England's share of the 6O0,ooO, ooo to be paid annually by Germany VIII enable her to make her annual pay ments to the United States and nave a little left over; but in the case or France there is no luck--what France gets from Germany isn't enough 10 pay her indebtedness to the United States and to England. However, IL will comfortably pay for reparations and pensions to the veterans. These latter payments were included in the renarations cost upon the instigation of Lloyd George and Gen. smuts or South Africa, and were opposed oy Woodrow Wilson but the latter 1naliy welded. II increased the reparationS sum from sl1,O00, 0.000--the esti- mated costs of reconstructing France to ss3.OOo. 900, ,0O0, and perhaps was tbe chief factor in muddiing the sltua- tion and causing the intermittent chaos we have since seen on the con- tinent.
