Whether the temperary injunction re- straining two British aircraft companies and .an American agent from dumping nmearly 2500 foreign built aircraft of an alleged obselete type and 24,000 engines in this country will be made permanent no one can tell, but it is evident that an effort is being made to prevent. the bringing into this ecountry eof foreign made goods which cannot fail te have & detrimental effect upon American in- dustry. Particularly at this time when there is such a large amount of unemploy- ment in the country and industries are closed or on part time is there need for giving consideration to American inter- ests. That the goods Which it is plan- ned to bring here from Europe may have been secured at right prices is not to be doubted since they are part of the material that was accumulated during the war and represent a surplus Which cannot be disposed of otherwise. At the same time if the claims of the ex- perts are true they also represent types which are out of date and therefore an- other reason Why this country should be prevented from stocking up With them and destroying business in that line and preventing development in ac- cord with the progress of the times. There is the necessity of protecting the home mdde products. This can be appreciated by these who are depend- ent upon industrial activities. .When Europe copies our goods and preduces them so cheap that they ean be'shipped to thig country and the American man- ufacturers be undersold, as has been recently brought tg attention in connec- tion witn local firearms, it is evident that' the time is at hand te protect the American industry and the . American standard of living. A Meriden concern has recently been ebliged to cut its working force 75 per cent. because an influx of German made harmonicas caused a falling off in or- ders in this line. War prices cannot be expected but American industry needs the same protection that it got while the war was on. That Europe should come back is desired but in order to hasten the day wWe cannot welcome the idea of closed factories and no employ- ment or the European wage scales. “I saw the cutest kittens today,” be-| st my left eye was going, Mys.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY THE NAT TURNER REBELLIO’ N In the history of our country there has been many rebellions, some of them of more or less serious character, but the most unusual of all was that start- ed by the colored slave, Nat Turner, with the intention of freeing his race from slavery. It might have resulted seriously had it been pianned by some one less visionary than '!\u'ner,_ who was more radical than sincere in his effort. 5 Turner, at the time he stared his up- sing, was thirty-one years of age, and Stories That Recail Others Gratitude The minister's salary was very low in- deed and the village doctor who was on the church board, by hard work, finally had it raised. He went home much elated over the accomplishment and boasted to his wife and children over it. Not once. Gollway would aske in ister's home and again the doctor went home to. his_family with_ the news from the parsonage. His.little son listened: at- tentively, Then he ‘grew ‘excited. ~ “You did get paid for helping raise his sal- ary,”- he exclaimed admiringly _to his father. “If you hadnt got that extra mey the preacher never could , have bought” that baby ef wyou”™ A New Version_ Seven year old Joseph had been going to Sunday school for almost three months and during that time had heard several Bible gtories. His mother was boasting about his ability to relate them, while his grandfather wajted rather impatiently, He was' raady to start on u trip down- town and Joseph was going with him. Then all at once Joseph, too, grew im- patient. He was in, grandfather's car and could not discover the reason for | grandfather's lingering.

The wave of price reduction has ex- tended to every part of the world. Two- irds of the principal articles now being ported into the United States, says a statement by the National City bank of | New York, were sold in the eountry of production at a less price than the same class of articles sold 30, 60" or 90 days earlier. Measurement of the prices at which the various articles which we import are sold in the country of production is, continues the bank's statement, quite feasible under our import laws which require the official valuation of the articles eptering our ports to be the wholesale_value in the country from which exported to the Unit- ed States—the price at which the articles were actually sold, or the average whole- sale market price for such articles at the port from which exported to the United States. Thus, if we see that the govern- mental repor of the import price of any given article in the month of Septembe: 1920, is less than that of earlier months in the year, we may assume that the erage priee at which that class of me chandise was sold in the couptry of its production was less at the date at which it started to us than in the corresponding date of earlier months. Take coffee as an illustration; it comes to us from more than a score of coun- tries, representing South America, Cen- tral Ameriea Asia, Africa, Oceania and the West Indian islands; when we find imported in the month of September, 1920, was stated by the government a only 16.6c per pound against 1S.4c in August, 20.4¢ in July, 21.6¢c in Ma c in February and 23.9¢ in October of last year, we know that the average wholeesl: price of coffee in the various countr from which the billicn pounds imported in Was imbued with more than the usual|{but for any days did he do this thing. amount of superstition of his race.

Even though this country hasn't got- ten out cf the technical state of war it has not deterred the commission charged with the responsibility of de- ciding where it should go from award- ing the Nobel peace prize to President Wilson. But it is to be realized that the laward has nothing to do with the pres- ent situation, or the fact that he “kept us out of war,” but concerns the part which the president has played in his endeavors to end strife and to establish peace when decidedly different condi- tions prevailed. President Wilson has unquestionably been ». strong peace advocate. He was 4 worker for peace without victory. He put forth the appeal which Germany welcomed as & basis for securing an ar- mistice. He took a leading.part in the peace deliberations in Paris and he has been a ceascless worker in behalf of the league of mations as he brought it from Europe. “Thus even though he is the head of a nation that was concerned in the great war it was not until we were forced to defend our rights that we en- tered. President Wilson's effoMs have been for peace wherever possible. He has made many endeavors in that direc- tion and has always been regarded as one whose services could be depended upon in that direetion. So inclined and at the head of this country his efforts carried much wieght, even though they were not always fruitful. In selecting the president as the prize winner this year it will be the third time the hener has eome to this coun- try and the second time to a president. Theodore Rocseveit was the first to get such recognition beeause of the services he performed as mediator in the war betwoen Russia and Japan, while Elihu Root was tne second fo receive the award in 1912, eix vears following the Foosevelt award, that being.in recogni- tion of his work for international peaca and fustics both at The Hague and ‘at Loms. Now recognition comes to Wood- row Wilson for his efforts in behalf of & permanent peace for the world. EDITORIAL NOTES.

President Wilson did a wise thing in respecting his doetor’s orders in rot de- livering his address to congress. There for the taking of ot bringing on a relapse, nated as the instrument of the Divine anger to bring about a revolution, out of just what character he was too illite erate to clearly explain. Turner thus described his experience: “On the 12th of May, 1828, 1 heard a loud voice in the heavens, and the spirit instantly appeared to me and said: “The serpent was loosened, and Christ had laid down the yoke. He had borne for the sins of men, and that I should take it on and fight against the serpent, fcr the time was fast approaching when the first should be the last and the last should be the first, and by signs in the heavéns that it would make known to me when I should commence the great work,” and ~ until the first sign should appeag 1 should conceal it from the knowlédge of men.” The sign which was to be the signal for Turner to institute his uprising was an eclipse of the sun in February, 1831, On that date he communicated his plan to his associates, but the uprising was deferred from time to time until he de- clared the vision appeared again, when he felt that the undertakigz could no longer be delayed. On the night of August 21, 1831, the negroes began the massacre with the slaying of ‘Turner's master, Joseph Travis, and his family. Turner and his associates determined to spare neither age nor sex and proceeding from house to house, carried out .their work of slaughtep, But the whole country became aroused and an armed force was sent in pursuit of Tuaner and his deluded associate who now numbered more than fifty. Al- most to a man the conspirators deserted their leader when they were attacked. Turner managed to keep in concealment for several weeks, but he was, finally captureds brought to trial, and executed in November of the same vear. In this insurrection sixty-ene White persons, mostly women and children, lost their lives Excitenfent in the south was intense, and many in this section . were prepared o endorse the sentiment of the Richmond Whig, which declared that the execution of the total slave population would be the penalty following another such uprisin®, Niles' Register expressed that same view, The idea prevails that because of the terrible event in Southampton, the white population in cases of like outras- es in future, will retaliate by an indis- criminate ‘slaughter eg the blacks—and such, we think, will probably take place " : This insurrection naturally created a gréat excitement in the south. In the governor's message in the December fol- lowing he charged that much of the un- rest among the colored, men was due to thelr preachers, and he directed that they Dbe “silenced” and aleo urged that the law should be revised so as to keep the slave population “in due subordin- SANFORD MILLS.
