OUR TRADE BALANCE

When account is taken of in
terest to be paid 10 foreigners on
capital invested here, of dividends
to be paid on our securities owned
abroad, of sums paid to foreign
steamships for transporting our
commerce, of money spent abroad
by American tourists, and of mon
ey sent abroad to the relatives of
American wage earners, there is
an absolute need of fully $475, OOO,-
GOO to pay eur fixed charges abroad
and prevent the expectation of
American gold. American Econo-
mist.
That means the balance of trade
in our favor should be ATS millions
of dollars year No matter
whether our foreign trade is large
or small the balance is not paid in
coin but in merchandise.
A high protective tariff lessons
our imports and consequently our
exports fall off accordingly. The
freer the trade the larger the
trade, both national and inter
national.

SELF HELP

When we have the "blues'' or
are suffering from disappointment
of any kind, we are apt to think
that there is not much we can do
but grin and bear it until the dis
couragement has run its course
and the suffering ceases.
1t is not necessary, however, for
anyone to suffer tortures from dis
appointment or encouragement,
for there is a remedy right inside
of us for the worst fit of the blues"
the keenest disappointment. Any
person who wishes can, by little
scientific training of his thought,
completely change his whole men,
tai attitude in short time by sub
shutting for the suggestion which
pains him, troubles him, which
brought on the "blues," its oppo-
site.
We can antidote our own troub-
les in the same way that we anti
dote those of others, encourage
ourselves in the same way in which
we encourage others.-Success.

York Monday to begin a fifteen

COMING TO AN END

The world is coming to an end
and soon. This is proven by
scripture and the near approach of
Halley's comet, which according
to the astronomers will swipe the
earth with its tail about May 18th,
in the morning. "This comet"
says Ebert Hubbard, lis phos-
phorescent streak of light moving
on an electric current in vacuum,
and has no more actual existence
than rainbow. It is an effect,
not a thing; an appearance, not a
substance"
1t is about as dangerous as a
spook, it travels at the rate of
thought (seven times around the
earth in second) and passes
through a twelve-inch brick wall,
without causing jar.
Halley's comet has visited the
world n dozen times since the year
24O B. G. at intervals of about Is
years and has never as yet caused
n jar to this old world. The tail
of this comet is from 5O,0OO,00O to
100000 miles in length, and
on May 18th, say the astronomers,
the comet will be within 1000, 600
miles of the earth, SO that the tail
will dash through the earth with
lightning rapidity The earth
moves forward at the rate of 1871
miles per second and the comet
moves in the opposite direction
with the velocity of 80 miles each
second of time and yet when they
meet no one will realize the shock
from the collision.
So that the chances of the world
coming to an end in a million of
years are about as certain as the
end of time

BAD coNDrTlosss-BAD LEADERS

William Allen White says "the
people are tired Of Cannon" and
he believes that Cannon will be
swept out Of public life. But isn't
it far moro desirable to sweep
away the Thing that produces a
Cannon? Private monopoly is the
cause Of Cannonism, which is not
different from Aldrichism. Our
fight should be against conditions
rather than against men, even
though we assail men in order to
expose conditions. Cannon and
Cannonism, Aldrich and Aldrich-
ism would migrate TO the wilder
ness if the people had initiative
and referendum powers in legisla-
ton. Let us not spend all our
energies burning the wagon that
gets stuck in the mud; let us fill
the mudhole and make a good
road.

The Post-Ofice Department is
