The BALANCE OF. TRADE.
Largest Ever Recorded Despite Un-
favorable Conditions.


favorable Conditions.
The completed figures of our foreign
trade for the fiscal year 19O7-S show
the largest balance in our favor ever
recorded. That balans d SGG6. 457. 103,
which exceeds by S2.UUU.CCO the phe-
nomenal margin of the. fiscal year
1901. 1t is striking evidence Of the
general soundness of financial and in
dustrial conditions in this country that
in panic" year we could maintain
our exports at top pressure and roll up
an unprecedented credit abroad, while
retrenching in our imports and exer-
cising other necessary domestic econ
omies. The rus Of our products
abroad in November. December, jan
uary and February made it easy to
draw on Europe for gold supplies to
end the currency famine. and that EVIL
dence of our strength as a producing
and exporting nation. together with
the amplitude Of the resources at the
treasury's command, quickly dispelled
the fears caused by the hurried liQui-
ooAAoA AoASSu tuoL SCoA VI CCAt oLA AL
terests which had overextended them
selves In speculation.
We were in no such fortunate condi-
ton in 1929 when industry and
commerce suffered a somewhat SIM
liar reaction. In that year our ex-
ports fell off from $1O3O.OOO.O0O to
S47.000.0OO. while our imports in
creased from ss2,000,O0o to $S66,0OO,-
600. A favorable balance of trade Of
$500 100000 was converted into a bal
ance against us Of S18.OOO0OO 1t was
not until 1867 that exports rose
again above the $1.O00.0O0.OOO mark
Now, however. exports have declined
only trihe from S1.S90.00O.OOO to
$1.S60, 100000, while imports have been
cut from $1.434,O00,OO0 to S1,194, OOO,-
900. We retrenched heroically and
successfully this time and In six
months have recovered fairly we'll
from the effects of the October panic
Foreign trade will not remain at q
standstill as 1t did for four years after
1923. There are indications already
that the check Of the October panic
has been overcome and that the new
year will show development in har-
mony with that of the long array of
prosperous years since 1897.

TOMORROW'S BIRTHPLACE.

Line In the Pacific Where It Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.
Most people who have read Jules
Verne's Around the World In Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly
the traveller missed his bet, having for
gotten that In following the sun from
east to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
hour is gained, another to Denver, an
other to San Francisco, which is reck-
oning time eight hours later than Lon
don and Of course the best part Of
day later than Shanghai and Yokoha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes time when the day begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller Is cheat
ed out Of day In his life.
In mid-Paciic. going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day Of the week repeated
two Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The lima, e the changing day is not
straight ode. The islands in the Pa
ci6c take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from which
they. were discovered: Thus the lima

Hence 1t might easily happen that: a
ship which has already skipped a day
would reach an island which cl:ngs 70
San Francisco fime. In such case it
would be Monday on shore and. Tues.

A Democratic Newspaper Opposes

In a leading editorial the Brooklyn
Eagle, Democratic paper, announces
that it will oppose the candidacy Of
William ]. Bryan. The Eagle opposed
Mr.. Bryan in both of his former cam
pa1gns and stated several days ago
when his nomination was apparently
assured, that this policy would not be
changed.
MEN do not change their opinions"
DR.. st. Clair McKelway. editor of the
Eagle, said. Their omission to advo-
cate principles for which they have
formerly stood does not mean that
they have deserted those principles.

unsafe to be president Of the United
States. Platforms adopted at Chicago
and Denver are much alike, and the
extent to which they are alike reduces
the question to men and not to meas.
ures. Taft Is steady. Bryan is un-
steady. Taft Is trustworthy. and Bryan
is not trustworthy, not in that he is
dishonest, but mercurial. The Chicago
exposition Of the question of the atti-
tude of the courts toward labor is more
moderate and less complicated than in
the Denver platform, l do net think
either platform Is entirely frank on the
question Of the tariff"
The Eagle says editoriaIly: THE ma
ton is confined to choice between
two men. The Eagle prefers Mr.. Taft
and will oppose MI: Bryan for reasons
which set this paper against the latter
I'd 1895 and 1900 and which are made
more emphatic by everything In Bryan

this they have decided to give Christ

families as possible, each basket to
contain provision for a real Christmas
dinner for a family OF Ave or more
persons.
Besides this a Christmas tree VIII

families who would otherwise have
no Christmas cheer. These plans II

Athlete Finds Better Training Food

Athlete Finds Better Training Food
1t was formerly the belief that to
become strong, athletes must eat
plenty of meat.
This is all out of date now, and
many trainers feed athletes on the
well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made of
wheat and barley, and cut the meat
down to small portion once a day.
