During the past month some of the best known men in public life have aired their views on the South Ameri- can trade problem. ‘These men are unanimous in the conviction that proper transportation facilities and a determined effort on the part of Am- ican business men would result in the trade of South America being taken away frém Europe and given to the ‘United States. it is ‘hopeless, however, to build up commerce, between the United States and. its twenty-one S Amerlc bors. w)m Iesr m‘fic&'iin"fimom pi :‘fl?n 3 ‘8 ' Granted, then, that & merchant ma- the 'ques- tion 'ndturally arises. “How is tms to be brought ubout' 7 2 The nimerous trade organizations in every atate of “the Union which go to make up the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States have un- dertaken to answer the aforemen- tioned question. For the most part these trade beodies are of the opinion that the government should pay sub- sidies 'to ship! engaged in foreign trade. This pecunhry aid - directly. granted by the government to such a commercial enterprise would be deemed productive of public ben- efit. It has been demonstrated beyond all shadow of a doubt' that American vessels cannot operate in competition with cheaply built and cheaply oper- ated foreign ships. The high cost of labor in thig country is directly re- ‘sponsible for this condition, Our ves- sels cost more to build than the ships of any other nation. Again, the vast majority of foreign vessels are op- erating under aid of subsidies from their own governments. This is one of ‘the reasons why there are practi- ‘cnlly no American vessels in the for- | feels i eign trade. American capital safer invested at home,—and not in foreign competition. At the recent Pan American finan- clal conference held in Washington, several of the prominent speakers voiced the opinion that all the South American countries would be glad to enter into a partnership with the United Statcs, so to speak, and grant subsidies to ships plying between the two marts. This combined support of the governments concerned should in- | sure a merchant marine worthy the name. American business men are gener- ally opposed to the organization of steamship lines in which the govern- ment would hold any amount of shares; but whatever method s adopted, whether by the McAdoo plan or by direct subsidy from the govern- ment, the problem must be solved.

With so many more impor- tant issues pending it would appear that with good faith,on both sides this dispute. might be adjusted easily and quickly. On the basis of treaties and international law, Secretary Lansing has made a ¢onvincing presentation of the American contention, but, un- happily, treaties and law have little force nowadays with the European belligerents.

The question now asked the motor- ist is not ‘““who made your car?” but “will it do your work?” The car is judged on its merits and not by its manufacturer’s name, or what it cost, and the cheaper cars which have the elements of stability in good material and workmanship have gained a great acceptance .Manufacturers, too, are coming to see that a large =sale of lower-priced cars is beétter than a limited disposal of more costly ones. And as the cars are cheapened their usefulness increases, as in the case of tae million tractors to be made for farming purposes at the Ford works and to be sold so low that every far- mer who now.plows with a horse can WHAT OTHZRS 3AY Views oun all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald "office. Respect for the Flag. (New York Commercial.) More and more, as the years go by, Americans are coming to respect the flag of their country. Americans have always fought for their native land, when necessary, and always will do so should occasion arise, but in the years that are gone thepeople as & rule failed to associate their flag with their country. It took the civil war to change all this, for if the veterans of the - great American conflict, noW grown hoary with age and honora have emphasized one thing more taan another, it has been respect for the flag whose stars and stripes symbol- ize the nationality of 100,000 persons and whose brilliant folds of red, Wwhite and blue bid a world at war to seek true freedom in peace. In weaving about tae heartstrings of our youth real love for old glory the schools have done more than any other single agency, inspired by the lessons of North . American and urged on by the grand army and many other patriotic organizations. Leess of noise and more of real patri- otism . today marks each recurring Fourth of July and its safe and sane features focus on the celebration its primary significance rather than its potentialities for mere firecrackers and toy cannon which signify nothing, It is becoming more and more ths custom to doff the hat to the Ameri- ca flag on proper occasions. On ex- cursion steamers, especially, in this practice now observed. After a day on the water, by river, sound or ocean when the home landing heaves in sight, it is indeed both .stirring and 'fitting to the sterling citizen’s to hear the band run from oné melody to an- other. Then, poor old *‘Dixie” sets everybody hum- ming, and Yankee Doodle, following, turns the hum to a gladsome jig, in which staid business’ men mingle their feelings with those of the more festive rising generation. Next, the musicians . turn to ‘“America, My ‘Country,’”’ then pass to “Columbis, the Gem of the Otean,” and suddenly, as “'The Star-Spangled Banner” is played every man, woman and child, leaps to his feet, bares nis head and joins in singing the immortal tribute of Francis Scott Key, who “on theshore dimly seen, through the mists of the deep,” wrote: "Tis the Star Spangited Banner,, Oh! long may it wave, Q’er the Land of the Free And the Home of the Brave. Such a united sentiment by Ameri- cans toward their national emblem cannot but have its salutary effect on the 'foreign element in the United States. And it also welds even more firmly the fellow-feeling of common iaterest which made us‘all as one great nations stands® “For king and country,” or “For kaiser and father- land,” in free America Old Glory stands for one great people. So long as Americans feel this way, toward their flag—which spells love of coun- try and each other—no .power on earth can part -us and our natian’s honor will always be maintained. Sentiment And Song. (Atlanta Constitution.) There is no doubt that men whose migds are all littered with business have a secret place for sentiment in the hours of relaxation and ease if, indeed, it doés not accompany them in_their daily tasks. In this connection the statement of the editor of the American Library Assoclation Booklist of Chicago is in- teresting. Here is her testimony in an address delivered recently before 600 delegates to the American Library Association conference: “That the average man is turning to poetry for his literature. “That magazines of today are print. ing pages of poetry in contrast to stanzas a decade ago, and that the American literary taste is rapidly turning to poetry. “That vers: is the only form poetry and .that the term poetry is an abomination. ‘“That true poetry is the breath and ner spirit of all our knowledge. “That men must have poets for teachers, not schoolmasters, and that there must bc great &udlences to beget great poets.” his will be cheering news to thou- sands of versifiers who aspire to'poetic honors evervwhere, and will give grounds for the hope that even a long epic of war may find a publisher and readers, But this statement of the turning of men in this iron age to poetry has reference to its simpler forms—the lyrics with the human touch, that speak the gentler feelings of a hard, work-a-day world. of prose- War With Machines (Waterbury American.) It takes, somebody vears to train a man to handle a machine gun, which, it is said, has tacties of its own. The English and French have discovered from the be- ginning that the:Germans are super- ior in this art and that it is slow work training men to match them. This proves anew the danger of un- preparedness, if some one warlike na- tion is going to be permitted to pre- pare. Either all nations must be for- bidden or limited in their equipment and preparation, or all nations have got to keep in conditibn and stock up or be at a disadvantage, which, as be- tween one belligerent and another might be fatal at the very beginning. ¥t is only the size of this war and the { ability to draw on the resources of several nations that has permitted the world to - stand against Germany, which, by reason of its preparation, could destroy one enemy nation after nation, if it could take them in order. two claims, ‘history, as a patriotic finale, | ‘a ecrowd of 20,000. | | Lip Sickness and Misery Are Caused by Constipatien in Hot Weather.

MODERATE DRINKERS CAUSE INSOLVENCY ! American Temperance Life Insurance Company Owes Almost $80,000 5 in Death Cilaims. New York, July 6.—The business of the American Temperance Life In- surance association of New York, which was organized in 1889 to pro- vide life insurance for total obstainers, has been made insolvent by the ad- mission as policyholders of “moderate drinkers” its officers assert. - The state Gepartment of insurance has taken, charge of its affairs. A notice posted or the door of the main office here an- r.cunces this fact. A representative of the department said the concern owed about $80,000 in death claims and there were no funds to pay one thou- send or more living pclicyholders. Frank Delano, formerly president of the association, said the largest financial loss was due to a modifica- tion of its principles so as to permit insurance moderate users of intoxicating liguars | to become policyholders. “The death in this class were fifty rer cent. more than among the totally temperate” he declared.

Peterboro, N. H, July 6.—In a Leautiful grove on the estate of Prof. W. H. Schofield of Harvard university, patriotic exercises were pendence. The celebration was under the auspices of the Peterborough Men's club, of which Prof. Ecofield is presi- dent. The orator of the day was Howard EHictt, chairman of the board of directors and president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road. A large audience representing many communities of the state lis- | tened to Mr. Elliott’'s address. Mr, Elliott sounded a stirring and patriotic call to duty, addressed to every citizen of the United States, vihen he said: i “The watchwords of the nation, in 1 the words of Lincoln, still are: ‘With | malice towards none; with charitysfor all; with firmness in the right as God | gives us to see the right.' { “We are to strive on and on to build up our country ds the bulwark of civilization, progress and human- ity.” The orator of the day then spoke of the country’s marvelous growth in the 139 vears since the sigring of its transportation faeilities, afid this connecton, Mr. Blliott queted Lord Macauley on the importance of trans- !'portation in the civilizatién of 'the {‘human species. - The excellence of the country’'s transportation system was | attested by the many friendly. eriti- cisms which it had evoked from | foreign observers, Mr. Elliott said, and from some of these he quoted. The influence which New Hampshire | had exerted on the: history of the nation was dwelt upon by Mr. Elljott, | metably the part she had taken in the | Revolution, the Mexican and ' Civil wars, and the many distinguished sons she had borne to shape the country's destinies. One of the features of the | address was Mr. Elliott’s remarks aoncerning the relations between .capital and labor. Mr.' Eliott predicting that as capital organizations had been compelled to submit te legal restraints, so in the future must the labor organizations do likewise-if the ! nation is to go forward and accomplsh jtts high purpose. The nation’s de- | velopment, Mr. Elliott averred, had { in the last few years.been hampered ; by a flood of unwise lcgislltlon | JITNEY DRIVER l(ILLED.

He died at 1:30 this morn- ing. The entire party was pinned be- neath the car but through their com- Pined efforts they managed to release themselves. A passing auto brought Dale to the office of Dr. James R. Coffey on Grand avenue, who saw the man’s condition was serious, and or- dered him rushed to the\New Haven hospital. The physician found several ribs were broken and one had punec- tired a lung causing an internal hemmorhage. The names of the other occupants were not obtained, but it /as said that none received injuries of any consequence, Dale was caught between the wheel and the seat.
