bystanders. This ruralite sauntered
down Broadway and was taking in
all the sights OF the city. All went
well until he reached the postoffice

effort his mind failed to grasp the
real meaning of the fountain. Turn

DECLINE IN TRADE OF FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.

Trade conditions in practically all
sections of the commercial world
show a decline, measured in values
of merchandise imported and ex-
ported, as compared with those of a
year ago. The latest figures received
by the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor
show that both imports and exports
fall below those or last year IN a
very large proportion of the coun-
tries for which it has statements.
The bureau of statistics receives
reports OF the monthly or quarterly
imports and exports of practically all
the commercial countries of the
world. and is thus able to compare
trade conditions in the last month or
the accumulated months of the year
with corresponding periods OF pre-
ceding years. These figures show
smaller sums as the total value OF
the imports of large proportion OF
countries, and in most cases a de-
cline also on the export side. The
imports OF the United Kingdom, for
example, in the nine months ending
with March. 1909. amounted to
2,194 million dollars, against 2,32S
millions in the corresponding
months OF the preceding year; and
. the exports OF domestic products In
the same months amounted to 1913
million dollars, against 1,552 mill
lions in the corresponding months
of the preceding year. Imports into
Germany in the twelve months end
ing with December, 1908, amounted
in value to 1880 million dollars,
against 2.0S2 millions in the preeed-
ing twelve months; the exports in
the same period amounted to 1,607
million dollars. against 1880 mill
lions In the preceding twelve months.
Russia shows slight gains in imports.
France and Italy show increases
on both the import and export sides.
The imports into France in the two
months ending with February, 1909.
we're quoted at 216A million dol
lars. against POS a millions In the
corresponding months of the preced-
ing year; exports 1877 millions,
against 145 millions in the CORE
spending months OF the preceding
year. Italy for the month Of Janu-
airy. 1903. shows imports u mil

A MANS INFLUENCE.

In a very interesting and incislve
editorial on "Tolstoy'', Theodore
Roosevelt says: Il doubt II his in
fiuenee has really been very extern
sive among men of action; of course.
it has a certain weight among men
who live only in the closet, in the
| library"
That Is one side of It; but who is
able to trace the waters of a stream
to their sources in the branches tribu-
tary to It? And who can say what
influence this or that individual has
in the world?
Our men of genius. including
|Tolstoy, Roosevelt, Bryan and many
Iothers. are in part representative
products OF contemporaneous thought
and activities, and in part leaders in
the world movements. How far they
affect and are affected by conditions
after centuries must ascertain. The
world is not made up of men Of
action, or OF men of sedentary habits.
but of both, and botn make up the
whole. Some people think Tolstoy
goes too far. others think Roosevelt
Is radical, and many regard Bryan
as a dangerous fanatic. No man can
be right, further than his knowledge,
experience and enthusiasm will per-
NIT him. Tolstoy and Bryan see the
evils and engage all their attention
In fighting the evils. This must be
given its due weight and Importance
in our Judgment Of them. Maybe
Rooseyelt's theories and activities
would have been entirely destructive,
had he not been elevated TO a posi-
ton, where he saw the evil in its true
relationship to the good, and became
constructive statesmen.
Tolstoy plays his part in the great
ethical advance of the age, and an
important one, We must admit. His
theories could not be expected to
please man of Roosevelt's poise
and activity; yet, who knows how
much Roosevelt himself has been In
iuenced by the writings of Tolstoy
and his school. We ourselves can
observe how Roosevelt has greatly
changed the current of thought of
Those men, who hate him most
Tolstoy's and Bryan's most effec-
tive work has been in stirring to
greater energy that social unrest,
which must eventuate in a world
wide. those gradual, social revolu-
ton. Agitators some may call them,
because they only ciamor against the
evil and take no stock of existing
good; but the agitator is necessary in
the social economy. Sometimes the
agitators. the cranks. the fanatics.
with a leader of sufficient force at
the psychological moment, carry the
world beyond the point OF reason and
justice, and then a reaction occurs;
but the world never lapses back as
far as II was before.
We must maintain our poise, as
Mr.. Roosevelt says, neither accept
ing the agitator's extreme views as
gospel. nor refusing, by reason Of
their radicalism, TO recognize the
evils, which they expose. Thus We
will be erect and unembarrassed
when the social equilibrium is re-
established, resisting alike the inn
petus of reform and the deadening
influence of acquiescence in things as
they are.

against 26k millions in January.
1908.
This fall in the value of imports
and exports of the principal coun-
tries of the world is probably due in
part to lower prices of the principal
articles forming commerce. While II
can not, of, course, be said that
1909 prices are lower in every ar
ticle than those OF 1908, the ngures
of the bureau of statistics indicate
lower prices in foreign countries in
many of the principal article form
ing our own import trade, and also
fall in price of certain important
articles of our own export trade.

A story Is told by a travelling man
of a wild experience at Cairo junction
last night while waiting for the train
to Paducah to stop. A little bit OF
specimen of humanity made the
whole bunch climb on the train,
threatening to shoot with a revolver
he never displayed outside his pocket
He said he was going down to make
the engineer climb out his cab, too.
but the train pulled out without any
bloodshed, A. ]. Lewis, a travelling
optician OF st. Louis. said he was on
the train with his wife. Several men
were walking around the train,
stretching their legs, when the little
fellow appeared. Get on the train, -
he shouted wildly. I'm going to
shoot" There were forty men pres
ent, Lewis said. and no one had a
gun, so the little man had the whole
scene OF action to himself He was
the only one parading around outside
the train three minutes after he APP
peared. When he saw everybody had
obeyed he staggered OF down the
track and never CAME back.

COunterfeiterS Caught
 by Tacoma Officers

Tacoma, Feb. 15.-In the, arrest of c. Crook, Pauline Crook and Lottie Jeffries, the authorities have discov- cred one of the most complete counter fitting outfits ever operated on the Pacific coast. Spurious coins have flooded the coast cities for some time past and the officers given a great amount of trouble by reports from var ious places of the counterfeit coins in circulation. The officers would watch the locality where the coins had been passed but could obtain DO clue. It seems that one of the gang would make a trip to some distant city, pass lot of worthless coin and then re- turn, and while the officers were searching through the city in which the coins were passed they would be making more in their den at Tacoma, and getting ready to go out in an other direction. Detectives finally located them and their arrest follow.
