wear to keep up the volume of over
seas sales with the result that they
are expected to exceed 100000 units.
The Union of South Africa where
about a quarter of million units are
in operation, continues to- be a very
attractive market for American motor
vehicles. Australia, while limiting au-
tomotive imports, is nevertheless pur-
chasing about 10000 motor vehicles
yearly from American manufacturers.
An appreciable volume of business is
also being shown in India and Ar
gentina.
Even countries under exchange
handicaps appear to recognize the
motor vehicle as a necessity and are
providing the necessary means for
the payment of automotive shipments.
1885 Has Been Transition Period
in Industrys Foreign Trade
The past year may be viewed from
the export angle as one of transition.
From a 1882 low of 100000 American
cars sold abroad, recovery has made
it possible to bring this figure up to
level where it now exceeds the half
million mark.
Some very important adjustments
in this transition have been effected
in 1886 and the favorable effects of
these are already being felt and they
will become increasingly noticeable
during the coming year.

AS the winter storms gather, as
men of good will weigh their

human suffering, this old docu-

Will of the People
All Good Americans Will Accept the
Verdict of the Roosevelt
Majority

Franklin D. Roosevelt having been reelected PRESI
DENT by the people of the UNITED STATES it be-
comes the duty of all good citizens to accept that verdict
as conclusive, regardless of party.
That is the AMERICAN WAY in government No
matter how heated campaign, all AMERICANS recog
nze that the will of the majority prevails and that the
PRESIDENT thus elected is CHIEF MAGISTRATE of
ALL the people-NOT OF PARTY OR FACTION
OF THE PEOPLE.
Mr. Roosevelt himself gave expression to this historic
AMERICAN tradition in his closing statement to the
voters from Hyde Park on election eve. He said:

"WhOeUer is elected TOMORROW UiU become the
PRESIDENT of all the people. 1t 1UiU be his con-
Germ to meet the problems of all the people Nth

With that statement every AMERICAN, whether he
voted for against Mr. Roosevelt is in complete accord
This newspaper and the other Hearst newspapers sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt for the PRESIDENCY in 1882.
They have since differed with many of his policies They
opposed his reelection this year.
But they indorse completely the views contained in
his final message to the public quoted above and look
forward hopefully to an ADMINISTRATION which will
carry out the ideas thus admirably expressed
If Mr. Roosevelt adheres to CONSTITUTIONAL gov
eminent, if he is a GOOD President, DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENT, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT, he will
have the support from the Hearst newspapers
which he had in the first year of his ADMINISTRA-
TION AND HE CAN COUNT ON THE EQUALLY

No good or great thing was ever
achieved without a gamble. No
life can retain its vigor and curl
osity without some sort Of gamb-
ling. The human being who runs
no risk and frownS on taking
chances-might as well be wad
of gum-and is just about as in
spring.
Gambling which serves life is
gloriously right. AS natural as
breathing. It's when gambling, in
stead of helping, hurts life, that
it becomes a menace. But why do
we let it become a menace?
Because Il repeat - we haven't
enough healthy risks in life. So we
turn to the unhealthy ones.

himself trapped by gambling,

he'd find the gambling fever ebb-

LATEST FINDING
For it is a sickness. All sin is
sickness. People aren't born
bad. People don't want to waste
their lives. But they can't adjust
their natures to the muddled pro-
gram of our current existence.
They can't find the right jobs, the
right adventures. So they take the
wrong ones.
That isn't sob-sistering, brother.
It's the latest finding of modern

ATTRACTIVE ISLANDS

We are acquainted with more
than one traveller whose hobby it
is to collect islands. We do not
mean, of course, that islands are
claimed or purchased, although
this happy state OF affairs does
happen now and again.
What we mean is that hardy
travellers go around the world with
the avowed intention of setting
foot on every island that is charted.
Then, when they get home, they
can always start a good argument
with other travellers on the merits
of their favorite island. And such
an argument offers plenty Of food
for thought, for some Of the
worlds most delectable spots are
islands.
There are the lovely Hawaiian
Islands, Samoa, the Marquesan
islands and others of the French
Oceanic group, including famed
Tahiti and Morea. Then farther
along there is New Zealand, al

HOLLAND
Although Holland does not
advertise it's charms as do so
many other Euroean countries, 1t
always draws its full quota Of Wis
itors each year. Those whose fore
fathers came to America from Hol-
land invariably visit the country
of windmills, cheeses and bulbs, if
only for the sake of sentiment.
But they soon find that the senti-
mental journey is a delightful one,
that Holland has plenty to offer
the tourist. even if he is not of
Dutch extraction.
Holland is a land of water,
streams, canals and rivers. If you
use the waterways, you will pass
between green meadows full of
black and white cattle, knee-deep
in the grass. You will stop be.
meath the revolving arms Of a
windmill.
Frequently you will look out over
broad acres of beet and flax lands
situated many feet below the bot
tom of your little boat. And you
will remember that in reality, Hol,
land is situated an average of II
feet below sea level.
Walk into little Dutch town or
village, go past the market place
and you will find yourself in the
farming community. Past the
dog house, which revolves and is
painted green and white with little
windows, you will come to the
farm house and at the entrance
you will see the rows of wooden
shoes, ranging from those worn
by the parents to the little shoes
of the youngsters, real picture of
family life.
AS a change from the farming
and fishing communities, it is nice
to visit towns such as Delft, The
Hague, Leyden and the resort OF
Scheveningen, which is reached
through a wide, tree.bordered
road from The Hague.
Scheveningen will give you a
touch of the more sophisticated
life of Holland. for it is a place of
smart shops, grand villas and de
luxe hotels with cafes, bars and
restaurants. Cabarets and con-
cert halls as well as movies are
cosmopolitan in tone for Schev.
eningen draws people from every
where.
Beyond The Hague is Leyden
with its famous university. The
city is much as it was in the time
of Rembrandt, who was born
there. It's old streets and monu-
mentS, its canals, its architecture
and beauty are shown in many
Of the paintings of the Dutch
school.
Nearby is Aalsmeer, famous for
it's ornamental shrubs and box
wood done in fantastic shapes. At
Boskoop there is a grand display
of rhododendrons in May, while
June and July bring great clumps
of roses and a profusion of other
flowers. And then one remembers
that Holland is the bulb center OF

PUTTING IT ACROSS

OF all the stories about how to
put it over that have found their
way to this column this one takes
the cake.
There was a man from way out
in the States who insisted that the
Government owed him a goodly
sum Of money.
He worried his Congressman to
death until that worthy couldn't
stand it any longer and he took
the best way out. He introduced a
private bill calling upon Congress
to pay his constituent his claim.
Now this type of bill is dropped
into the House hopper by the
thousands. In most cases they
usually stay right there. A small
percentage are taken up by the
various committees. Most of
these die right in the committee.
A still smaller percentage are re-
ported out and reach the floor Of
the House with about one chance
in a thousand of being passed.
In this case the bill just went
to the committee. But the man
who was to receive the money
was not to be deferred. He gath
cred a number of copies of the
bill which read, as all of them
do:
"The House Of Representa-
tiveS authorizes the payment to
John Doe Of the sum Of s."
Back home he went. To the
butcher. the baker, the candle
stick maker, he trudged. Each
one was shown the bill.
"See," said our hero, "the
House Of Representatives has
authorized the payment Of this
money to me, 50 if you'll let
me have this and that and this
you'll get your money as soon
as 1 get my check from the
Treasury"
It worked, so we heard, very
very well.
