Most of the coal passing out of the country naturally leaves by tin-northern border ports. Of the $25,000,000 worth of anthracite coal exported in the fiscal year over S22, 000,00 worth passed through the northern border ports, while of the $40,000,000 worth of bituminous exported about two-thirds passed through the northern border ports. The United States now occupies third place in the list of coal exporting countries of the world.

Brad-street New Standard of Newspaper Decency When The Republican, not quite a year iigu, determined iiminate patent medicine and other objectionable advertising from its columns, it ex-peeled other reward than a satisfied conscience. Tlx- management was aware that it was about to flit off a source of considerable revenue, and it did nol figure that another would in consequence succeed it. Tlie striking out of this kind of advertising; was one way el improving The and newspapers cannot be iin proved without expense or financial sacrifice. Patent medicine advertisements are offensive to a large of, though not ail, intelligent readers.

A certain class of such advertisements, those relating to secret diseases and others relating to appliances and mixtures which suggest in themselves only an immoral use, are offensive to all decent readers. The Republican believed thai as the hearer of such incssages from advertisers it would not be true let its mission as a family or home newspaper, and it therefore determined that its advertising pages should la1 purged. Though its action was independent anl. in any event, would have been taken, though it stood alone, The Republican enlisted-in a movement tor newspaper reform -which is spreading all over the country. A large number of the bettor known newspapers art- now throwing out patent medicine ami other offensive advertising, but is a matter of -pride' to The Republican that it.

is making a more thorough clean-up than any other secular newspaper of which we have any knowledge. The Republican has found oilier- reward than tlie approval of its own conscience. The eliminated advertising has been followed by a considerably increased vulume decent advertising. The patent medicine people used to be tyrannical when the papers wen- clamoring for their business. They not only insisted upon tin- best positions, hut designated the kind of matter that should appear next lo their advertisements, and even proscribed certain other kinds advertising on the same page.

When The Republican began throwing out patent medicine advertisements the space thus cleared was taken by legitimate foreign advertising. The patent medicine people arc now clamoring to get back into The Republican wis any on "any old" page. They are willing to leave the matter of position entirely to the foreman. The approval of. -the people of Phoenix and the state has been given this cleaning up of the advertising columns a much more substantial manner we expect, -d.

As a matter of fad, we had expected no increase of subscriptions in consequence. Yet. within the period in which most of the advertising contracts expired and when they were dropped, here has-been a steady and rapid increase in The Rcpu. mean's volume of circulation as was shown in the published statement of yesterday and today. The Republican is naturally proud of the class or subscribers who have been attracted by this improvement.

The time, we believe, is near when a patent medicine advertisement will be found in no newspaper which prefers any claim to decency. Newspaper times have changed ami arc changing.

GETTING RID OF OUR COAL Coaj exports from the continental United States in the year ending next month will approximate Sloo.ooo.OOi.i, against less than half that sum; a decade ago.

This estimate, based upon figures for eight months of the current year just completed by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, indicates that the value of domestic coal sent to foreign countries in the full year will approximate that supplied to vessels engaged in foreign trade 2Si.00.00, while coke exported was worth and shipments of coal to non-contiguous territories of the United States were worth 1.000.(100. Of the exports of coal to foreign countries, anthracite forms about one-third and goes almost exclusively to Canada. -For bituminous which forms about two-thirds of the total, Canada is also a large customer, taking 8.5U0,O out of the 12,000,000 tons sent to foreign countries in the eight months ending witli August, though Mexico. Panama. Cuba and certain other of the West indies are also large purchasers.

The all the people from northwestern Europe speak the. English language. English and Germans have generally come to this country with the intention of making it a permanent residence. They leave fewer tics behind them in the shape of an old home which they expect to inhabit again, or relatives whom they expect to assist in coming to this country. The Italian does not cut himself away in this manner.

Either, he expects to die under the sunny skies of Italy or expects to surround himself with his kindred in this country. Newspapers End Railroads The ilouglas international notices a changed attitude of the newspapers toward the railroads, one of fairness, a disposition to grant the roads those rights that belong to them. A majority of the newspapers have never maintained any other altitude, though some in times past were inclined to be subservient to the roads and others, unable to establish profitable railroad connections, sought further lo inflame the peopio. already irritated by tlie exactions of some of the roads when they were law-nine themselves. But both of these classes of newspapers constituted a small minority.

The fact is that both tlie railroads and-the people have assumed a new attitude toward each other. There is a' grow ing disposition on both sides toward fairness. The roads no longer depend upon subservient newspapers and pliant tools in the legislatures to secure all they can possibly get, and the people are ho longer following demagogic newspapers and orators seeking popular favor. Government regulation has brought all this about; Tlie people have learned that their rights will be secured to them 4icl the roads have long since learned that their rights will he more firmly securee. to them than they could guerrilla warfare waged in the ski a constant legislu tares untl congress.

The roads realize that their prosperity depends not only upon the people, tin- source of all patronage, hut also upon the friendly co-operation of the people, and the people have learned that fighting railroads for the lucre sake of fighting is like Mexican warfare jn winch only the imprests of the officers are served. But the attitude of rospon-ibk-newspapers is unchanged, only, they have less occasion to criticize both the roads and the people for their unfairness toward euch other. The newspapers have little to do now in the matter of relations between the "public ami the roads except to encourage their co-operation tiv benefit of both sides. We ib, not mean rbai the niillenuaun has come. Now and a road wants more than belongs u.

SHAKESPEARE A POOR PSYCHOLOGIST Hugo- in the December Atlantic) We. have often hoard that Shakespeare is the sreau-st psychologist, and yet w-e ought not to torgei that such a popular classification does not in itseif really mean that Shakespeare undertakes the work of tie- psychologist.

It tloes mean that he creates figures with the temperament, char-' acter. thought and will so similar to life, and so full of inner mental truth, that the psychologists might take the persons of the poet's imagination as materia; for his psychological studies. But this no means suggests that Shakespeare uhras- oil we ahstraet judgments about mental life, and as seek his wisdom in his dramatic plays, it may-taken for granted that in this technical sense, must be a poor; psychologist because he is a it dramatist. Does not the drama demand that every word spok en be spoken not from the stand point, hut from the particular angle of the person in the pjayV And this means that every word is embedded in the individual mood and emotion, thought and sentiment of the speaker. A truly psychological statement must be and cannot- be one thing for Hamlet and another for Ophelia.

The dramatist's psychological sayings serve his art. unfolding before us the psychological individuality of the speaker, but they do not contribute to the textbooks of psychology, which ought to be -independent of personal standpoints. And yet what a stream of verses flows down to us which have the movement of true, psychology.
