TWO GREAT RIVALS
FOR COLONIAL TRADE

been. and are, Central America and
South America. Tie peoples of these
countries are as a rule indolent and
averse to the continued grind necessary
TO business success The Germans, on
the contrary, are keen. wide-awake, ever
on the alert to foresee changes and in
vest on possibilities. resulting in the
natural course Of events in their con-

Emperor Williams Declaration.
Some time ago the strong. talented
and ever thoughtful ruler for his people
Emperor William. at an important pub
lie gathering. voiced his sentiment and
viii, that the foreign trade interests Of
Germany should and would be protected
by the fun power and force Of the Faith
erland- TIE outspoken conviction Of
Emperor William on such an occasion is
one that needs our careful and thought
ful consideration. for he fully believed
in what he stated, and intended. when
the time should come, TO act.
The United States has no right to feel
secure on laurels won; our safety ami
our future liz in our ability to meet all
emergencies with a swiftness Of action,

featuring. and agricultural export inter
csts are increasing at such a prodigiOus
rate as to seem almost incredible.
The Inevitable Struggle.
Central ard South America are our
near neighbors, we require and must
have their trade, so that our Immense
over production shall have a nearby and
continuous market What then shall we
look forward to? An abandonment BY
Germany of the great export markets
she has made through the ability and
push OF her children, and the worth OF
her manufactures? Hardly The moment
the United States begins the inevitable
and active struggle for this same terri
tory. the professed friendship by our
German brothers will be withdrawn, aud
the promise that was made by the En-
peror TO protect the Fatherland's foreign
trade, viii become a terrible and mo-

pose about Ebert HUBBARD The man, up
on nearer acquaintance, Gispels the sus-
picion He believes in il;s work He be-
lieves in humanity He believes in him
self.
The Jocose Hubbard is the most super
fetal The true man is earnest, almost
solemn. When he talks of certain things
his face is that of one who sees celestial
visions The contrast between the bold
ness of some of his writings and his per-
senal modesty is startling in the extreme.
His abstraction is appalling when you
remember his ELUSIVE writing. He talks
with a queer combination of 'horse-sense'
and the moving of the spirit His per-
sonality is hypnotic.
Practical az Hubbard is. there IS much
of the seer about him. He is strangely
of the vulgar, and frustratively trans
cendental, brutally strong and softly
feminine
Tolstoy and the founders of new creeds,
but his common sense is good brake
He Is not apt to go too Ear, though OF
course one cannot say where these celes-
TALLY entranced cyclists may walk IN
pursuit of the truth they see ahead. To
me there is no doubt at all that Ebert
Hubbard is one of the men who are fully
possessed of the thought that they are
close to the Divine. that they have an
insight into the things hidden from others
that they are vessels filled with the es-
sence of the God-head.
The man is a mystic philosopher. for all
his gospel of work-a dreamer and a poet,
yet practical.
He is teaching the value of intelligent
effort. May he long continue to do So
