True, also, that these export divllned to f 7. OOO.OOO the year followlnc the pa.'.-aue of that lav but It at not until 1900 that our producer N'can to take a rapidly Increaaing Interest In our trade to the south. The Dinsley protective tariff law a passed In 1S97. There was not the tame Increase of export to Latin America In 1S3S that a observable with respect to other countrie. due to the Spanish war and the conse quent curtailing of our export to Cuba. The total was $74.0uO.OOO. lu 195, the year after the passage of the Democratic law. our exports to all the world dropped to 507.5oo.O(0. or $:23.000.0Oii below the record for 1 S32 when the McKinlcy law was in operation. It will be remembered mat cieveiana went in in anu iK'mocruuc tariu iinKenns couunueu : until August 27. 1S94 when the Wll- son inn was passeu. in ij. me year! toiiowini; the passaae of the limgley protective tariff law. our exports to all the world totaled $!.:31.500.000. In 1 QiA fn. V. a l I . a w luc mac eaports i Utin America exceeded U 0.000.000 ; from which time there waa a steady' flowing to the Latin Americas, up to 1913, when they totaled $321,000,000. Our total exjiorts for that year were $2,500,000,000. Then came the Democratic devasta tion of 1911, with the Vnderwood near-free-trade tariff law in full swing. Our total exports to all the world fell on. ivi,uuv,uuu in nine monins, anu : those to Latin America dropped $12 000,000. the total value of our goods : bent to those countries being $2S2, 000,000. In 1915, although our total exports to all the world were $2, 7C9.000.000, $251,0ii0,00, or $7:1,000, OuO below the 1913 record. Recently our export trade to the south has been picking up because the factories of Kurope aro closed to (heir requisitions The official figures all go to prove that under the policy of free trade, consequent depression causes our ex port trade to dwindle. Now, as for trade following the loan: About the middle, of 1913 a. proposition was put up to the United States to subscribe to a share of the six-power loan to China. American bankers sought assurances from Pres ident Wilson for government protec tion before subscribing to the loan, and he turned them down flatly be cause of "the obligations It imposed upon the government.'' Is there any connection between this fart and the fact that our export trade to China fell from $25,000,000 in 1911 to $16,- 000,000 in 1915? It can hardly be at-1 tributc-d to lack of freight carriers, ; for our imports from China increased in 1915. Now Wilson has changed his I mind and the administration is try-1 It's The Policy To accord all its customers every facility and convenience af forded by its capital, equiptment, and efficient organization, for the prompt handling of all business whether large or small. The value of a checking account to all is very great, and the "I'll gives an added feeling of respect and confidence. GERMAN IS SPOKEN HERE.

Oregon is likely to contribute, still more toward irrigation projects In other states. A letter writing campaign Is lining organized, business men of the state being n.-oucHted to write to congress men from other states asking for their support of uri amendment by Mr. Sin nott, which provides that all of the 10 per cent shall be tried within the state of Oregon. The matter is an important one to the state of Oregon.

AMERICA'S NEGLECT. A prominent agricultural Journal i says it would like to see some state take up systematically tho duty of developing music as a means of en j rlchlng and socializing our country ; life. The argument sets forth the fact that the old-funhloned singing school haa vanished, with nothing to take Its place. American boys nnd girls on the farms get but little train ing In music. Yet It is an art, when rightly cultivated, that Is one of the chief pleasures of life. Youth In our towns and cities are but superficially Instructed in music, and one of the best opportunities for enjoyment Is lost. Among English-speaking com munities only that In Wales illus trates what the study of muBlc ought to be. The Welsh have flinging socle- U-.I..H..1. nHh..r....M..L - j miiM le mora wli. tiim.

Agents of the United States army corps of engineer are endeuvorlng to obtuin the se rvice of 1.000 Mexi can laborers to aid in tho construc tion of n graded road from tho bord er town which is tho American supply depot of (i. neral Pershing's present headquarters at Colonia Dublun, In Mexico, according to the Sun Antonio K.v press. The road Is to be so constructed, It Is advised, that it will not only servo the present purpose of tho army for the transportation of men and mu nitions by motor trucks and oilier vehicles, but it Is to have, such a bed as erosstlcs anil steel rails can bi laid upon with dispatch if the need of a railroad lu that quarter should be deemed imperative. The employment of a thouiiund Mex ican laborers by the United States urmy In road building ought to have a very marked effect In tho pacifica tion of the. Inhabitants In that, quar ter who, if general report may be relied upon, are greatly In need of Ilie good wages which this govern- I ment would pay them and of the in the territory below tho border for tho purpose of destroying, but rath er to build up and Improve. It ap pears, however, that tho natives are I "leary" of the Americans, nnd much as they may desire tho profitable em ployment and the feeding that goes with it, ihey are not offering their services quite us freely as might bo if they were unafraid. Tlie building of a road from tho border to Oeneral Pershing's head quarters Is, of course, a military measure rendered necessary by the transportation exigencies, but It prob ably would be a permanent Improve ment that would be of much value In time of peace, as well as In time of war. It is to be hoped that Mexican laborers to tho number of a thoua and or more, as may bo needed, will avail themselves of the opportunity of rendering themselves and their coun try a valuable service that Is all for their good.

John llaunier, recently sent to tho state penitentiary, is believed to bo the prisoner who transcribed the fa mous prayer for the benefit of those who would be Imprisoned after his own departure. The prayer, Just as it is wiuiuu, follows: Tho Lord Pralr Our Father Who are In hcven Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth As It Is In Heaven.
