 The dynamic and eloquent Jimmie" is appealing to the hearts as we'll as to the heads of Canadians. If he cannot get re- suits, no one can.
 Then, the Canadians are in a receptive mood. Tn addition to their natural sympathy for the Mother Country they have a special grievance against us. While our sales to Canada are increasing at an amazing rate, our tariff makers are planning lon still further restricting the market for Canadian goods in this country.
 The latest figures reveal the unfairness of such a policy For the twelve months ending July 31, Canada bought from the United States goods valued at 1902, 100000, an increase in one year of S139,OOO,OOO.
 , During the same period our imports from Canada totaled 100000, an increase of $33,- ! 500,000. To this should be added the expenditures of American tourists in the Dominion, an enormous sum.
 Canadian imports from the British Empire were only $260,- 100000, an increase of $7,000,O00 while her sales to the Empire totaled $490.O0O,OOO, a decrease of s3O,OOO,OOO.
 Those figures do not indicate
 that this country is in any dan
 of being flooded with "cheaT
 goods" from Canada. Rather
 they show that the Dominion is a customer worth cultivating.
 Instead of raising the tariff or
 Canadian products, w S d II
 would suggest that we lower it.

WANT THE PROFIT

The trouble with the Ketchi- kan Commercial Club is, that TT wants the additional profit now accruing halibut fishermen by virtue of the "open competitive market" whereby the fishermen may sell their fares to the high est bidders.
 There is nothing under the sun to hinder the Ketchikan or any other buyers paying as much as does the Rupert market. It is a know fact that when the Am erican buyers wanted the fares offered and could not get them any other way, they paid for them and got them. The diff erential which they are asking through a tariff act is addition al profit which they hope to ob- tain by law rather than econom- ics and at the expense of the fishermen. In other words, the halibut fishermen are making too much profit from their haz- ardous labors to suit the Ketchi- kan Commercial Club. That Club wants to horn in on that profit, therefore the desire for a tax of two cents o nthe pound.
 We do not believe it good busi- ness to build a high tariff wall around our halibut fisheries. It is within our own knowledge and experience that without the open competitive market the fisher men worked for glory and the workers got the profits.
 The following editorial from LABOR, Washington, D. C., is pertinent to the subject and has, to our way of thinking, consider able more weight and prestige than Mir. Talbot of the Ketchi- kan Commercial Club, or the Club itself:
 Why Offend Canada, Our Best Customer, by Needlessly Rais-
 ing the Tariff on Her Ex-
 ports to This Country

EDUCATIONAL PROPOGANDA

During the week were shown two pictures at the local thea tres that carried moral lessons we'll worthy the serious thought of every citizen.
 The -Four Sons" a story of. German mother and her four sons with the Great War as the setting. A cry against war and a cry against legalized murder on national scale; the penalties and sacrifices of war all was a protest against the Wanton de- struction of human life in order that greed for power and accu- mutation for wealth might be satisfied.
 More such pictures should be shown and more of the horrors of war should be depicted. Along with which should come drafting of capital equally with manpoW- CT. If human life must be sacri- feed upon the altars of hate and self1shnesS then industry and capital should be made to serve without profit. Then will war be outlawed. For when it no longer profits individuals and nations to wage war, they will cease.
 The other picture was the Road to Ruin depicting the so- cial problem generating through innocent school youth; mixing of the ultimate etaoin shrdlu cmfcc of gasoline, booze and dope to ultimate dishonor of clean Wo- manhood. Counterparts of this story are so common these days of the cost of high living that be- fore conclusion of the film it's denOuement was known. Not a pleasant picture to watch for those who by force of their training were shielded from contact with the rough edges of life Nevertheless earring out the idea that Mother Nature or God, demands recompense and that "the wages of sin is death"
