EDITORIAL PAGE
GOLDEN' INFLATION
It 's useless for the prudent and
the pessimistic to attempt to
stop the general rise iu the prices
of securities or the strong tendency
toward speculative inflation while
Bold poors into this country iu
enormous amounts. In September
the imports of that metal were
more than $42,000,000; the ex
ports about $2,000,000. There was
a fain through the excess of im
ports of $40,000,000, and the gold
mines of the United States yield
nearly $S,000,000 a month.
Iu financal circles it is believed
that gold imports will become still
greater. There is no prospect that
Urea* Britain or France, or both
together, can float another loan of
any imparlance in tho American
market for several mouths to come.
It is certain that an euoruious sur
plus el exports of merchandise
must be paid for in some way.
Europe is buying more supplies of
many kinds from the United States,
as the war goes on. The excess of
exports is rising instead of de
creasing.
Such conditions would cause a
great wave of optimism and large
undertakings in any country, at any
time. It is prudent and sensible to
keep ever in mind the uncertainties
o' conditions created by war and
remember the necessity of caution,
but it is not in human nature to
resist altogether the natural effects
o' 'uflatiou, especially whan it is
inflation in gold.
l.AS t JAMES I'D TAKE
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Kansas City.—The last of the
James boys, William W. James,
who has fought on five continents,
and who wears the Cross of the
Legion of Honor and the Victoria
Cross, will taka the oath of al
legiance to the United States.
James promised his cousin, Fr;uik
James, that he would some time
take the oath, and the last grim,
battle-scarred survivor says a
James never yet broke a promise.
He .will go- to Washington, stand
before the president and take ad
vantage of the amnesty proclama
tion oi 1865.
James will take the oath 'because
he served throughout the civil war
In the confederate army and he
never took advantage of the op
portunity offered in 1S65.
He was an outlaw, with his rela
tives, from the time he quit serv
ing as courier for Quautreli till
1869. James Is 67 years old and is
working as a machinist la Fort
Worth, Texas.
NORTH AMERICAN RAW FIRS
WILL BE SOLD IX AMERICA
In the past it was thought an
impossibility, "a fool's pipe
dream," that the collection of
North American, raw furs could be
sold in America. It has beeen dem
onstrated to the world that the col
lection could be sold on this side

market of the entire collection of
1911-15 and tie great bullc of tho
surplus stock curried over from
the catch of 1913-14. If you should
put tho question—What percentage
cf raw furs are exported?—to any
dealet or exporter one year ago,
he would say 75 per cent. Did we
export that amount or was it a
wild guess at figures, or is it a faot
that the big part of the collection
of North American raw furs that
have been shipped to London to be
sold in the auction houses of that
city or shipped to the commission
houses of Leipzig, have found their
way back to America, either dressed
and dyed or raw?
A. B. Shubort, president of A. B.
Shu be rt, Inc., Chicago, U. S. A., the
largest house in tho world dealing
ex 1 naively in Ameerican, raw furs,
iu a letter to the Alaskan says in
part, as follows:
"The house of A. B. Shubert,
Inc., up to the time of the European
war, exported about 75 per cent of
their eutiro collection of American
raw furs. It was apparent to me,
iv heii practically eevery country on
tho continent of Europe, "blew out
a cylinder head," that we would
have to look up "green fields and
pastures new" for the sale of our
merchandise. No doubt, all the
dealeers in furs thought the same.
"The low price of American raw
turs, together with the difficulty of
importing foreign furs, materially
h-lped the sale cf our American
goodj, but back of all this, was the
push and energy of the American
merchant It looked like a ground
hog case to him. It was something
that had to be done. Ho did it.
Hl satisfied himself and proved to
the world that the collection of
American raw furs could bo sold
in America."
