EXPORT ROLE MAINTAINED.

The United States has kept it's position as the leading export Nation despite trade and exchange barriers This is evidenced by reports recently made public by the Department of Commerce. In eight months, ending August 31 this country had exported goods worth $94452 00O Its imports for the same period were worth $890 900. Both figures were slightly under the preceding years volume Of trade, which set a new low for the past few decades
 Exports for the calendar year 1882, were valued at ,611 000, off B per cent from 1881, and imports were worth 100000, off 37 per cent. Because of the prevailing lower prices the volume exports and imports fell only 23 and 20 per cent respectively.
 Since the American business recovery began last April sweeping gains have taken place in our foreign trade. Americans bought heavily in foreign goods in anticipation of higher prices, and domestic producers found better market for their goods abroad. Imports in August were so great that this country suffered an unfavorable balance of trade amounting to S24000000
 If the country's foreign business continues at the rate of July and August, despite the abnormal declines experienced during the first quarter of this year, the entire years trade is apt to show a gain from 1882

MOUNT VERNON, Wash, Oct. 23.-Henry Cassidy, aged 49, was convicted late last Saturday night of murder in the first degree for the staying of his wife, his broth CT Michael and a friend, Edward Bennett.
 The jury recommended against the death penalty.
 The shooting occurred at an auto tourist camp at Anacortes last May.
 Cassidy pleaded mental irrespon- sibility because of his wife's al- leged unfaithfulness; also because he said he overheard the three plotting to get his property.
 The verdict returned by the jury normally means life sentence in this state.

MANS QUEST FOR LIGHT.

Mans search for light is graphically depicted in a collection of primitive lighting devices soon to be exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington by Dr. Walter Hough, curator of anthropology. The methods employed by various peoples of the earth the scientist says have varied with their natural resources, each using what nature offered that most fitted for producing light. Dr. Hough recalls that on the Shetland Islands within the memory of living inhabitants, the fat body of bird, the stormy petrel was used as a torch, or lamp The small but excessively fat bird used by the islanders. When it was dead wick thrust down it's throat and lighted. The resultant glow but feeble illumination
 The bodies of the great aux, an extinct bird of the North Atlantic Ocean, also, was used for the purpose. The ancient Danes used wick of dried moss buried in the stomach of the bird, which was laden with fat.
 Fish, likewise. have been used for lighting Most striking is the so-called candefish, salmon-like

that while Germany has resigned
 from the League and left the Dis armament Conference, she has not yet abrogated the Treaty of Yer sailles and has not yet declared that she is legally free to re-arm. The first thing one must wait to see. therefore, is what Germany will do next: will she abrogate the Treaty and will she proceed to re-arm?
 The American part in this busi- ness is to do two things. One IS 'to help, if it is possible to do SO, the effort to resume the negotia- lions. to avert, if it can be done, q decisive break and the begin ming of Germ an re-armament. While it is hard to see how a real solution of the whole problem can be found to postpone the crisis would be something. It is neces- sary to assume that recovery from the world depression would ease the tension. For recovery time IS needed.
 The other thing we must do is to make our own position un- aquivocally clear, so that no one in France or Germany has the slightest doubt as to the American determination not to participate in continental war The French and the Germans must make their de- cisions on that premise. We must press no solution upon them which directly or indirectly implies that we might intervene. We must make no engagements which are in the slightest degree ambiguous.
 For the day of amiable good intentions has gone by, and it would be unfair and confusing not to tell the statesmen and the peo- ples of Europe that theirs is the whole responsibility for the de- cisions they take.

HANGAR AND PLANE UNDAMACED BY WIND;
 TRIP SCHEDULED TUES.

Though it has been battered by wind and waves for three days, the Alaska Southern Airways hangar is still intact except for some tar paper from the roof and the trim Lockheed seaplane Baranof has not been damaged, Gene Meyring, pi- lot, said today.
 Due to storms of several weeks ago, the hangar was lowed from the Keeney float to the vicinity of the lower City Float near the AL Juneau, but in spite of the protection of the rock dump, the Northeast gale which has been raging, has blown directly into the open face of the hangar and the waves have entered unimpeded, un- til today, when the wind has been higher, MT.

 Both he and Chandlar Hicks mechanic, have been constantly on watch, though there is little that could be done, as the channel has been too rough to permit the plane taking off to find, if possible, a more protected spot

ROCKEFELLER SURVEY URGES
 STATE CONTROL.

Formation in every State of Authority clothed with absolute power to control the traffic in louor is recommended in survey of the liouor situation just completed by Raymond B Fosdick and Albert L. Scott for John D. Rocke- feler, Jr The report, which has been published seriay in newspapers throughout the country, con- cludes that State Prohibition is just as ineffective as National and is not the road to true temperance. In a foreword to the report MT Rockefeller said:
 I was born teetotaler and l have been
 teetotaler on principle all my life Neither
 my father nor his father ever tasted drop
 of intoxicating liquor. I could hope that the
 same might be true of my children and ther
 children.
 It is my earnest conviction that total
 abstinence is the wiseSt, best and safest
 position for both the individual and society
 But the regrettable failure of the Eighteenth
 Amendment has demonstrated the fact that
 the majority of the people of this country
 are not yet ready for total abstinence, at
 least when it is attempted through legal
 coercion.
 To develop the habit of temperance in
 individuals, to take up again the slow
 march of education-ths is the real and
 fundamental approach to the problem of
 alcohol
 For many years, MT. Rockefeller was one of the largest contributors to the Ant-Saoon League and one of the strongest supporters of National Pro hibition When he became convinced of the worse than futility of that system he stopped contribute ing and withdrew his support. He advocated repeal as the first step toward fighting situation that he realized had become intolerable. In this new survey. he has rendered a striking public service and the results of the studies ought to be reflected in more intelligent approach to handling liquor after the Eighteenth Amendment is repealed

 When John D. Rockefeller, Jr, declared National Prohibition to be a failure the Vets applauded. What will they say now that the Rockefeller Liquor Control Study, sponsored by him, further finds Statewide Prohibition to be an equally inefficient of obtaining that most desirable of results sober country?
 There can, however, be no mistaking the words of Raymond B. Fosdick and Albert D. Scott who made the study for MT. Rockefeller: We, frankly impressed with the possibilities of Prohibition method of control even in individual States"
 Of hypothetical exception is made of such States-if any-as record "an overwhelming majority this type of control" but in the main the investigators realize that oppressive meas only create the condition their advocates seek to avoid in limited
 i We have, therefore, the odd spectacle of the former champion of a mistaken policy deploring that it's rectfication a national basis does not automatically wipe it out in the several States. He returns the issue of strong drink to it's natural and proper sphere-the individual conscience and moral suasion
 Fortunately many, if not most, of the States that have SO far ratified repeal also at the same time voted to abrogate their State laws the subject. There remains few who have not, and these the nation is pledged to aid by protecting them from liquor invasion from without. Even that the Rockefeller Study characterizes as a mistake in the perpetuation, a smaller scale, of the widespread evils that followed the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment"
 And if this not odd enough, the fact remains that this report, like MT. Rockefeer's own courageous declaration of many months ago. eman- ates from jealous to do their bit in bringing to this distressed and distracted country an era of real temperance on solid and enduring basis
