FOR SALE EXTRA GOOD ONE- to in The foreign tra4e balance has always been held to be a barometer- of the degree of our national In previous campaigns Itepublicaus have always urged this as the one result they always obtained and cited it as a proof of their competency to run this government on a business basis. Well, the foreign trade balanace for the fiscal year ending June 30 was the greatest in the history of the United States.

And it occurred under a Democratic The Republicans will claim that this great record-breaking balance was due to abnormal conditions in Europe, and they will be eminently right. There would have been no such foreign trade balance had Germany and Europe generally been able to manufacture and ship to the United States the stuff ve netd. Had there been no war in Europe there would have been no balance of trade favoring the United States. But this very fact disproves the Republican position that the war has not effected the revenues of this government, which come largely through tariff duties on imported goods. If we couldn't import goods as normally, why, of course, we couldn't collect import duties on: them as normally.

The charge "that the expense of tbe primary bars many from aspiring to office Is answered by the tact that in Shawnee county there are one hundred and seventy-one persons seeking non iatlons to county offices. LET THE TEAMS IN. Fort Scott must sooner or later impose some restrictions on the parking of motor cars on the main business This problem Is to the fore in most towns of this size. The rapid increase in the number of cars is operating to bar teams from the business streets, and the teams must be admitted to these streets. In Other cities owners of cars are being prohibited from permitting' cars to stand longer than a certain period at any one place on a business street.

There is complaint among people coming in with teams of lack of access to hitching racks or to stores with their teams. It is important that the avenues of trade be opened to all shop pers. The Tribune hopes to see the day when Fort Scott will provide a large and convenient team yard, under roof, for the convenience of farmers, and more especially, pleasant and commodious quarters designed especially for the entertainment of the- farmers and their families when they come to town. Rest rooms, wash rooms, accommodations for eating lunches and well furnished toilet conveniences would certainly be appreciated by the people in this trade territory for many miles around. Collier's Weekly has lately degenerated from a big, broad-minded weekly into one of the most narrow, partisan periodicals published in the United Stages.

And Collier's has thus lost tremendously in prestige because its readers have been compelled to attribute to it unworthy political motives. OH, YE LAWYERS! We can't figure, out on just 1 what basis the lawyers reason that membership of the supreme court should be a life job. The lawyers Weve instrumental in tearing down the non-partisanship of the court, and that's another thing we do not understand. The Kansas supreme court, the Kansas district courts and every other court of every other state and of the United States should be non-partisan. All the corruption of courts this country has ever known has come through the influence of partisan politics dictating court nominations.

Then there's another thing the lawyers of Kansas have to answer for and that is their defeat of the attempts that are made in every legislature to reduce the number of district courts We observe quite a lot of comment on this subject in the Kansas newspapers nowadays. There are so many district courts in Kansas that the judges are employed from about one-half to one-fifth of their time. The state could save a year in this item alone, but ev ery time it is proposed the lawyers call a bar meeting and send a com mittee to Topeka to log-roll 'he legis lature out of the notion. It was done again in 1915 and will be repeated in 1917. It's so hot and dry out at Hutchinson that the city officials have inaugurated regular shower bath, service for chil dren at the water plugs.

The children who have been putting oil their swim ming suits and following the sprink ler through the streets are now being accommodated by the city firemen at water plugs at regular intervals. The reason the sword Is not and cannot be supreme is that the world is sure to get tired of its waste and lay- it aside. It offers nothing permanent to the social or spiritual needs of man it has no exalted purpose. It has surviv ed on hatred and passion and greed. Those are attributes of wrong and though they may not soon be over come in individuals there is prospect that they will be in community or national life.

I thiuk Christ's system of morula and religion aff He left them with us, the best the world ever saw, or likely see." SCRIPTURE. 1 Kings win coma into (he And when Elitihu house, the child was dead, und luid upon bin bed.

He went in, therefore, and shut the door upon them twuiu, and prayed unto the Lord. And lie went up and lay- upon the child, nnd put 'his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, und his hands upon hla- hands: and ho stretched himseli' upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed Warm. Then he returned, and walked iu the bourn to nod fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneeaed sevou times, and the child onpnetl his eves. And he called Gehar.l, and said: Call this Shunammite. So he called her.

And when she was come in unto him, he said Tuks un thv son Vdie went in. nnd fell at his feet, und bowed herself to the ground, nud took up her sou, and went out. What is a muddy road? And how? SOMETHING AT STAKE. There is more in tbe nomination of city officers tomorrow to interest Fort Scott people than in the nomination of state and county officers, for there is much more at stake. The, form of govern ment is still on trial in Fort Scott.

There is no question but that it is by far the better form if the right men are selected to operate it. And there is no question but that it is not an improvement over the old form if men of indifferent ability or. of politi "cat tendencies are nominated. Every Fort Scott man and woman ought to take time to weigh the mer its of the respective candidates and then vote tor those they feel are best equipped to run the great big business enterprise of Fort Scott's government. It is tremendously important that nieh of ability and of vision be put in as mayor and commissioners.

That they are honest is not enough that they are vote getters should be no rec ommendation unless they are the kind of men who get votes on their merits instead of pussy-footing, compromis ing and playing politics. After this year just three men will run the business of Fort Scott a mayor and two commissioners. The two commissioners will have votes on all important business transactions. We wouldn't choose mediocre men in any private business of such magnitude. It would be extremely foolish to choose that kind to dp the public business.

So, and Mrs. Voter, itls up to you to think on this matter and to vote to nominate the men who are the best business men in your Judgment.

LAW.

Formidable demand will be' made on the next Kansas legislature' to repeal the primary law. There is in progress right now an organized effort to pledge candidates for the legislature against the primary. Evidently it is the purpose of the opposition to the primary law to conduct a quiet campaign and not permit tbe question to become an open issue. But if the friends of the primary insist on making it an issue they will get an engagement. The old guard politicians are' the1 ones who are inspiring this opposition to the primary.

And they have many recruits from among those who formerly favored the primary method of nominations. There are some serious defects to the law. Even with these, it is much superior to the old ward caucus method because it takes fronj the political fixers much of their power and thus discourages the corrupt practices that boss rule breeds. No; quarter should, be given the ad' vocates of the repeal of the primary law unless something better than the ward caucus, and Conventidn method is offered in its place. President Wilson's appointment of Charles E.

Lobdell, b. prominent sas Republican who has for many years been an active Opponent of all Democratic candidates and measures, to the. federal reserve bank board, will probably be held to be further proof of Mr. Wilson's narrow parti sanship, NORTH FRANKLIN (Leota Gregg, Corres.)
