In an interesting interview given by Mr. Walter Bates, Saturday, he pointed out the opportunity which now presents itself to American business interests to secure the rich South American market. But this desirable business is not to be secured and held with no particular effort on our parts. This Mr. Bates undoubtedly realized during his South American visit. The New York Journal of Commerce, which grants that South America must supply certain of its needs from our store during the war, but notes that "if we increase our capacity materially in lines where European competition has been too much for us in the past, when that competition returns, as it is sure to do, we may find ourselves outdistanced again on account of the cheaper production and lower prices of other countries." And yet, this Journal goes on to say, "there may be a new incentive for energetic

rivalry,", and if we proceed "with caution and

close calculation, we ought to gain an advantage much of which we can hold and improve upon as the result of experience." We have shown certain deficiencies in handling South-American trade hitherto, it appears:

"There has been complaint in the past of failure to adapt goods to the requirements of the markets sought and to exercise care in their packing and their prompt and regular shipment

and delivery. Thre has also been neglect of the terms of credit and payment customary in LatinAmerican countries, which European dealers have been assiduous in complying with. Their success in this trade has been largely due to attention to siich matters." William M. Benney, chief of the foreign department of the National Association of Manufacturers is reported by the New York Tribune as saying: "Most of the writers for the daily press have called attention only to the possibilities of increased trade with Latin America on account of the great war. If we look at the trade of Germany with the ten republics of South America, for instance, we find that large as that trade is, it falls far short of the volume of our own sales to Germany. "On the other hand, the United States is a large buyer of German goods, and while the shutting off of these German imports means embarrassment for some of our industries, it also affords opportunities for larger sales of domestic competing products in many lines. Germany also has a valuable trade with Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Central America."

FOX RULES AGAINST PRE-NUPTIAL PACTS

Lucy B. O'Connell of Dublin, has von the first religious divorce fight tried under Judge Fox in the three court terms he has held. Mrs. O'Connell was given a divorce from Albert M. O'Connell now of Indianapolis. The three-year-old boy whose religious education was the cause of the proceedings, is to remain in the custody of his mother. Judge Fox gave out the opinion that pre-nuptial agreements of the character introduced in the O'Connell case are not binding. The agreement was signed by Mrs. O'Connell who is a Quaker and an Indianapolis priest who drew it in order to have any children which might result from the marriage, educated in the Catholic faith. Mr. O'Connell did not sign the agreement.

SELF-RELIANT HOME DOCTORS Is what women are called who all over this broad land make their annual collections of roots and herbs, and rely upon recipes which our pioneer mothers found dependable for different family ailments. In one of these recipes Lydia E.

Being treasurer of the Riverside Park band concert committee, would like to make a few statements. In the first place,, why was the band concert and speaking planned to take place on the dump? Because, first, there was no other place to have it. Second, It was demonstrated that this was the proper place for a river side park and playgrounds. We are 5,000 strong west of the river and not a square foot of im proved park or playgrounds. I am a great believer in cause and effect. We are getting the effect and what is the cause of it. Our city government, as far as the public improvements and park system is concerned, is wrong. The only fair way to build a city is to locate a com

mon center and spend the public Improvement fund equally all around that common center, so that any one buying a home in any part of the city would have the satisfaction of knowing he would get his share of the public improvement fund which is taken from the taxes paid in. This kind of a sys

tem would do away with the necessity for "improvement associations," and it never would have been necessary to have a band concert and public speaking on an eyesore of a dump. Our mayor thinks the time for a park system along the river is after the sewers are turned out of the river but who knows when that will be, and where would Chicago be if she would have waited till the sewers were turned out of Lake Michigan to buy the ground which is now Lincoln Park and Jackson Park? It is not buying ground for parks that makes our taxes high. It's doing things and then doing them over again. Take the Main street bridge which cost $80,000 and will have to be replaced with a new one before it has served us twenty-five years. With a little more expense at the time it was built, it would have lasted a hundred years. So you see we will soon be paying more than double tax on a single valuation in that case, and so on down the line with a good many other things. The old wooden bridge that crossed the river at Main street served the people sixty-four years and it cost about $7,000. Mr. Bavis thinks it would be better for the city to start a brick yard than to buy the dump grounds. If Mr. Bavis wants to do something for all the people, it would be much better for the city to start a coal yard and that would save all the people all over the city all the way from fifty cents to a dollar on the ton. I was born and raised in Wayne County and have lived in the Indian Territory, Denver, Colo., Chicago, 111., and back in Richmond for the last twenty-one years and a tax payer. You can put me down as being in favor of the city buying all the ground lying east of West First street to the river, all the way from Richmond

Avenue south to South E street and now is the wise and proper time to buy it. To be continued. T. C. HUBBARD. Mr. Editor: Sir One of you contributors seems

to think war results from nations paying excessive attention to military af

fairs. It seems to me war more fre

quently results from influences employed by those who hope to profit by It. Roman patricians made money by

wnr Ttiov t h Ar. ore. sent the

legions out to fight, pillage, levy trib

ute, capture prisoners for ransom ana slaves for the market. In time they met Carthage out on the same mission. The two Punic wars came and Carthage was destroyed. Germany and England might have remained at peace a thousand years. Both countries lived by a system of exploitation, giving but a small portion of the product of their Industries to the people who did their work, and because their domestic market could not exceed the meager wage fund paid to the people, a surplus Is left for which they must find a foreign -arv.t .Timt as It was necessary for

Rome to look for other countries to

conquer, because she lived by" conniinnt. o it is necessary for exploiting

countries to extend their markets to absorb surplus products. This they must do on pain of their extinction. It therefore follows in the struggle for markets, one Is trying to get what another must have to live, and if both are to adhere to the exploiting system fight they must. The issue of surplus products might be met by giving to the people the product of their work, thus creating a domestic market, but this would be to abandon the exploiting system, something the beneficiaries of a system will not do as long as it is only necessary to tell the people to cut each other's throats to Bustain it, and be answered by an unquestioning obedience. For a capitalist country to hope for peace, by refraining from paying attention to military affairs, Is only to hide its head in the sand. A system of exploitation can only be maintained by physical force. War, bloody, fierce and appalling, is inherent in such a system. The road that leads from the jungle of bloodshed and butchery, leads to industrial democracy. This thn nrtonle will see in time, for see it

they must, but till they do, whenever the master class thinks their interests served by war, they will hypnotize them by false patriotism, change them into martial maniacs and send them out to mass murder the world. F. FRENCH.

Patronize the City Light Plant What the City Light Plant Represents in Actual Cash The cost of construction and bringing the plant up to its present state of efficiency, has involved an investment of $400,000.00. Its present value, less depreciation is $3 1 8,000.00.

Out of the Total Cost there is outstanding as a debt, bonds to the amount of $1 39,000.00, of which amount there is now in the sinking fund to pay those bonds, over $30,000.00.

What This Means to You What does this mean to you ? It means that the plant, while reducing the cost of electricity to you, has paid off by its own earnings nearly $300,000.00 of its total cost.

Without the City Plant this $300,000.00 would have been paid in dividends to a private corporation.

Since the City Plant has .made possible cheap electric light and power, at the same time has added to the possession of the city nearly $300,000.00, is it not worthy of whole-hearted support from every loyal citizen of Richmond? Patronize -
