Kor year the New York police force in the eye of the world, hae been held up as the seat of graft, the personlflca, tion of corruptness and the protector of crime in many of It worst forms. Within a year all these charges aeem ed to have been borne out in the death of Rosenthal and the running to earth of his slayers; arrest of Becker and sensational disclosurea which forced prominent heade of the department in to obltvlonr with the trail leading to imprisonmnent and death. Now Mayor Mttchel proposes to transform these 10.000 New York policemen into social workers, declaring It to be hi inten tion to make every'offleer and patrol man a welfare worker to use on behalf of humanity their inltmate knowledge of the city's life of alternating sadness and happiness. The transformation from their pres ent standing into welfare agents rosy he considered a far cry but that Mayor Mitchel's administration la a social welfare regime has been demonstrat ed alreadv and naturally mirror the desires of their chief. The results mill be awaited with interest. With the energies of the greatest police force in America turned Into the prop er channels, the possibilities must be unlimited. How the other half lives, the "cop per" knoms best. He gets close to the citv's life. He is in intimate touch with all phasee of humanity. He may be a persecutor or so regarded, but his greatest duty Is to render ser vice, seeing of course that the laws are obeyed and respected. His work takes him- into lanes and by-ways where it Is. too, the leaet denned by the average social workef. When the bluecoat la shown what Is expected of him in bettering living and com munity Interests he becomes not the bard fisted trailer of men but the agent of good. Tbt new work cut out for him in New York City will be far more congenial than the old. At least, the satisfaction Is bound to be greater. When we may come to regard the New York police force as a working agency of 10.000 men seeking the bet terment and welfare of the multitudes, the lurid headlines which have pushed that organization Into degradation will be conspicuous by their absence. In stead of any apology, they will be come an example for the bluecoata of the world. Social welfare duties for the police, not of New York alone but of the entire country will revolution ise not only the people with whom they come in touch but the police thenelves. Here Is a social pro gram that any city well can afford to copy. Tokl.

Capital Comment BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER Congressman frcm the (Special Correspondence ft The Argua Washington. March 14. The ym pathy and moral tipport of the Amer lean people ought to go out to Presi dent Wilson this time as never before. The presi dent is making a brave fight to keep the United States In auch a position that there need be no bloody end to the Mexican situa tion. For one of the few times In history a great nap tlon has adopted a foreign policy of morality Instead of expediency, and al though the sneer and Jeers of for eign countries are being echoed by unpatriotic citizens of the United States. President CLYDE H. TAVCNNCR Wilson I still courageously following the path he set out for for himself. There Is no question now that there la a concerted attempt within the United States to force a war with Mexico. It Is unfortunately true that this attempt has ita spokesmen in the hruse and in the senate. And unless American workingmen. who. after all must fight the battles in any possible war. leaving the Jingoes safely at borne to continue their agitations, in dicate unmistakably that they will not fight these battles, then the United States is likely to be plunged into a bloody catastrophe. How silly and foolish such a war would be is Indicated in certain Mex ican statistics recently made public by the Pan American Union in Washing ton. We are told by the Interven tionists that Mexico is tottering to ruin, and that in the chaos likely to Export Trade of Washington, D. C, March 16. Ex ports of merchandise from the United Statea made a greater advance during the last 10 years than in the .10 years from 1873 to 19:;. In 1873 the total exports were valued at $56S,0o,000; In 1903, l,485,M00.OO4i, and in 1913. S2. 484,000,000 a gain of $917,000,000 in the 30 yeara from 1873 to 190.1, and of approximately $l.ltoo.oon.ono in the 10 yeara ended with December last. To this gain of practically $1,000,000 In foreign aales of American products during the decade ended with Decem ber, raw cotton and miscellaneous manufactures, chiefly of iron and steel, copper, wood, and mineral oil. were the largest contributors, the five classes named representing about one-half of the total increase during the period named. The 10 leading classes of articles ex ported from the United Statea in 1913, arranged in the order of magnitude and stated in milliona of dollars, are reported by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, as follows: Raw cotton, 675; iron and steel, 294; breadstuff s, 203; meat and dairy products, 161; mineral oils, 149; copper. 145; wood manufactures. 110; coal and coke, 71; leather and leather goods, 60: and tobacco, raw and manufactured, 60.

Therefore, we should Intervene now and save what is left. But now look at the figures of Mex- m.in in unit of three succes sive revolution Mexico' trade with the ITnlted- States In the fiscal year .,. -inel was far creator than it waa in 190. or ten years ago. In a ten-year period American Imports in Inernaseri from S46.922.000 to S48.O52.OO0. But exporta, which deter mine the real prosperity or a countrj, increased from Mexico to the United R-ates in ten years from $43,931,000 to 181.877,000. or nearly double. And hi la the rcir when Mexican busi ness, wa alleged to be virtually paralysed. As. a matter of fact, of course, the real truth Is that Mexican prosperity has not been much harmed by the re volutions. The fighting haa been prin cipally In the northern fringe of states. The rest of the country has been boom ing, while all the principal seaports have been doing a normal business. There ha of course, undoubtedly been some depression of the Mexican, cur rency due to the uncertainty of the future. But the secret of the outcry for war lies in the fact that the fighting is in the northern part of Mexico, in which locality a few American millionaires own property; there the American oil Investments are placed; and there American capitalists have been buy in -nld and sliver, a lucrative profes sion which has been ended by the continual fighting. These lost dividends are a large part of the inspiration of the war move ment. To regain these dividends a number of so-called patriotic gentle men would willingly sacrifice 100.000 Uvea not their own lives, or the lives of their families and friends, but the lives of American workingmen who must engage In this war. the United States a noes, 18; chemicals, drugs and medi cines. 27; naval stores, 22; vegetable oils, 21; paper and manufactures there of, 21; India rubber manufactures, 14; and fertilizers, 12 million dollars, about 90 per cent of the aggregate ex portation of the year has been ac counted for. Raw cotton easily maintained its leading position in the list of Ameri can exporta. On the other hand, bread stuffs fell from second position in 1903 to third in 1913; and meat and dairy products, from third position to fourth, each of these groups having been pass ed meantime by Iron and steel, which advanced' from fourth to second place during the decade. Comparing the figures of 1913 with those of 1903. raw cotton exports gain ed $196,000,000, or 52 per cent, this being a natural result of the world's Increasing consumption of cotton goods, for the manufacture of which the United States supplies over two thirds of the raw material. Iron and steel manufacturera gained $195,000, 000, or about 200 per cent, machinery and engines being the largest factors. Mineral oils made an advance of $76, ooo.ooo, or over 100 per cent; copper manufactures. $101,000,000, or 2'K) per cent: and wood manfactures thereof, $52,000,000, or about 90 ier cent. Bread stuffs barely held their own In value of exports during the decade, with a gain of $3,0O0,oo0, and hut for the marked advance in barley, oats and rice would have actually declined, since the exports of corn fell from $95,- 000,000 to $47,000,000 and those of wheat from 10.000.000 to 155.000,000 bushels during the decade. Meat ami dairy products fell In value of exports from $181,000,000 to $161,000,000 dur ing the period under review, and cat tle from $38,000,000 to $1,000,000. There was no corresponding decrease in production of breadstuff's and food animals, and the smaller exportaiions are therefore due, in large measure, to the Increasing proportion of the population engaged in manufacture, transportation and the non-productive Industries, thus leaving a smaller pro portion available for agricultural pur suits. Increased exports are common to all branches of American manufactures. One of the largests gains occurred in cars and carriages which quintupled during the decade, chiefly due to the rapid development of the' automobile industry during the last ten years. Electrical machinery trebled, cotton goods doubled, leather and manufac tures thereof practically doubled, and agricultural implements, paper manu facture, and naval stores each increas ed about 50 per cent. India-rubber manufactures are two and a half time as great as in 3903; fruits and nuts, about TO per cent more than a decade ago; and proprietory medicines are being exported in constantly increas ing quantaties. Europe Is the primary destination of about three-fifths of our total exports. The total to that grand division in 191S was $1,500,000,000, and to all other parts of the world, about $1,000, 000,000. To (North America the export aggregated $601.400.0u0, of which two third went to Canada; to South Amer Ict $147,000,000. chiefly to Argentina and Braail; to Asia, $126,000,000, of which one-half went to Japan and one fifth to China; to Oceania, $82,000,000. chiefly to Australia and the Philip pines, and to Africa $:9,000,000.

Billy McElIlgotf father wa a rtll road man engaged In extending one of the systems through the far west up to Oregon. When Billy left school he said he would like to go out there and fit himself to manage a railroad. Hi father lilted the idea and sent him out, intendinff hl beginning as station agent, or something like that, and promised to boost blm as fast ns he could fill the different positions. When Billy appeared, as agent at Gunning Junction to step on to the first round of the ladder that was to carrv him to the presidency of the road" be was a trifle over eighteen but as he weighed only a hundred potmds. stood but fire feet four inches in bis stockings and looked about six teen vear. old it seemed Tery ridicu lous to think of him as anything- but an office boy. Billy was to spend a month at Gun ning, when he was to be promoted to trainman, then to spend another month HI LOOKHI TP AND SAW HER AKX BI11I. as conductor, another as train dis patcher and to fill other positions in turn. He said nothing about being the aon of the principal owner of the sys tem or that he was to be. boosted rapidly. Those with whom he came in contact wondered what the com pany meant by sending "a child" to do the work of a man. But Billy, who had roughed it at times, didn't mind living, for awhile in a wilderness and performed his du ties, which were not onerous, toler ably well. But his father had ordered that Billy be supplied with a strong man for handling freight and trucks, and Billy spent most of his time be tween trains some trains were hours apart at a ranch house not a mile from the 6tation. At such times his assistant, Jiui Horgan, was in charge, and even If the agent wasn't there when a train passed Horgan could sell tickets. i What drew Billy to the ranch honse I -was the seventeen-year-old daughter ; of the rancher, Mr. Archibald. The ranebmau had been a mercnant in tne Veast and had gone west ten years before to raise sheep instead of mer chandising, because he needed a dry air and au out of door life. His daughter, Daisy, was sven years old when he removed his home and had grown up a rancher's instead of a mer chant's child. -She could ride, shoot, swing a lasso and If necessary lend a hand at herding. Daisy, being of the mating age, was ready for attention from the opposite ser and before Billy McElHgott's ap pearance had permitted such attention from a cowboy named Tom Swartont. Her companions had been such as are usually to be met in new countries and she had grown up with Swartont. not sufficiently recognizing the differ ence of refinement between him and jer. She was In a transition stat from girlhood to womanhood, and her parents were slow to realize tbe fact and that greater care should be taken in keeping her from one who would not make a suitable husband for a young woman of her class? When McElll gott appeared Daisy herself saw the difference between him and her former playmate and was not slow in showing a decided preference for the former. Sympathy might hare run toward Swartout had he accepted his fate In a proper spirit, but be did not. Tbe good or the bad In a man usually the bad comes out at seeing himself sup planted by a rival. It is natural anion? animals for the mate to fight for tbe female, and man Is no exception. But refinement among men brings defer ence to a woman which permits her to choose for herself. The black spot In Swartout was that he lacked this def erence to the lady of his love. The spirit of revenge overpowered all other connaeranons. Besides, he waa goad- j ed to meanness and enmity by his asso ciate. Daisy saw at once that trouble was brewing and warned Billy. "Tou mustn't come here any more." abe said. "What hare I done?" "Nothing. Tom Swartout Is Jealous, and I'm afraid of him." "He won't hurt you. will he?" No, but he may hurt you." I that the only reason 1 must keep awayT" "Yes.- 1 "Then I'll come as nsual." One day Tom Swartout was r"ylng a friendly game with some of bis asso ciate In an adobe one story house when Billy aud Daisy rode by on horseback. -. - There ropn vnur iHe r. ., jvib, one of the party. "Are yon pTt give ber up to that piirtj little f.Jr without struggle?" " Tom didn't need the tannt to him on. He arose from h!s seat, e0 to the door and looked after Billy .?! Daisy. ' m "Why don't yon lei her see Joq his nose?" asked a cowboy. TWj show her the difference betwea man and a boy." ' Tom said nothing, but gronn4 tj, teeth. "Go for him." said a third. Swartout strode to his horse was picketed near by, untiej mounted him, then rode after the o. pie. He didn't know what he u going to do. He was mad with ousy and intended, or, rather, waiia. pelled by the devil within h'.m, t make a display of It t'nfortuajt. he had a rerolver at his belt Bj , Winchester attached to a hook on j, saddle. He hnd no Idea of cginj ther of the weapons. Indeed, bttai got that he had them. Xow, it r.eems that Daisy tne Tom's haunts and had sngj!tel t Billy that they had better not rifl hj the adobe house. But Billy said If U couldn't ride where he liked he Ui better go back east Daisy's aurietr led her, when she passed the bouw, t look In, and she saw Tom. .At tbt same moment be looked up and mt her and Billy. As for Billy, be wtt looking straight ahead. When the two had gone semethim over a quarter of a mile from thehoo where the game was going on Dtiij turned to look back and saw Tom coin ing. She inferred that what sbe hid dreaded was about to happen. & put the spurs to her horse. Billy kx. ed back to see what had started berte and saw Tom coming. He also several cowboys one by one leaviat the house,' mounting and riding tftw Tom. They wanted to see Tom poll the little tenderfoot's nose. Everybody in that country ctrrtej weapons except Billy, whose work tt the station rendered It Inconvenient for him to do so. He was not armed bow. even with a knife. But Daisy, wb was something of a sportgwoinia usually bad a rifle slung to her taddle. Billy, seeing an enemy coming, Bit urally longed for a weapon and; flnJ ing Daisy's rifle handy, bent over isd unhooked it. Swartout saw him do this. Be dldnl see Daisy prevent him. She only strongly advised putting the ride bick, Tom was maddened more than ever it seeing Billy abont to use Daisy's rifle with which to shoot him. He unhook ed his own rifle. Billy told Daisy ahe'4 better ride on; she might get hurt In stead of doing so she tried to pntjier aelf between the rivals. Here is where Billy showed sunly instincts, while Tom showed brotl! ones. Billy refrained from firinr it Tom from the protection of a womaa't skirts, but Tom firod at Billy as im ns. there was a chance of doin W without bitting Daisy. The bullet mt between the two, who were not thru feet apart Billy was disgusted, but averse taking his rival's life. He could btr killed bis enemy at a single ahot hot rather than do so he permitted Tali? to get in front of blm and refrained from, firing. . "Come out from behind a wofflin. you coward!" yelled Swartont, w4 those behind him Jeered. Billy gave bis horse the apnr, t animal jumped, and when he lit on bJ feet a bullet went from the muni f Billy's rifle straight for his enmj Tom fell from his horse.
