ever, has been due as much to the loss
of imports as to the gain in exports.
And the loss of import trade has done
Us probably as much harm as good. 1t
has interfered seriously with many of
our industries by shutting off their
supplies of essential materials. 1t has
deprived US, too, of many articles that
we'd rather have than the money we
save by not being able to buy them
And it is depriving us, little by little,
of one of the most powerful levers for
controlling foreign trade.
If we didn't buy anything from Eu-
rope, Europe could buy mighty little
from us. Import trade always helps
the export trade.
Again, suppose we kept on increas
ing our exports until we had all of
Europe's money. By the same token.
Europe would have nearly al lof our
goods. Money isn't wealth. The real
wealth would have been drained out
steel, cotton, clothing, powder, etc.
We might be ''money-poor," as some
people are 'land-poor."
There are signs of that already.
Moneys betting to be a drug on the
market Wall Street has hundreds Of
millions on hand and can't lend it at
a profitable rate.
1t isn't going to do us any perm
anent good to have Europe rolling up
an Indebtedness to US of $4,000, 000,00
year because of our lop-sided for
eign trade It's doubtful whether it's
good for us to have favorable balance
of more than $1,OOO,O00,OOO a year, or
even that much, year in and year out.

CObURNs MINISTRIES
Be HERE DEC. 18TH

Bigger better than ever, positively
an all new company and the latest
and best in minstrels is promised for
next Monday, December 9th at the
Opera House by this standard company
Of fun folks, singers, dancers and
yaudavillians From the street pa
rade to the close of the show itself,
everything is new, bright, full of S. ap
and ginger. New faces, new voices,
new dancers, singers and comedians,
new acts and novelties, everything is
new with this attraction this season.
The beautiful scenic opening I'm Old
Venice Queen of The Adriatic," the
minstrels present the Palm Beach club
and their Wallets most beautifully cos
tuned, amid beautifully colored cleo
trio lights and familiar scenes of this
queen of the old worlds cities Or all
the many delightful innovations Man
ager Coburn has heralded each year
there has never been one which is
more pleasing, both as stag picture and
the merit of the performance itself
You never see the same show but once
with Coburn's Minstrels. Its success
and popularity is largely due to the
continuous effort to provide new ideas,
strelsy. Don't miss this attraction, if
you love good music, laughter and
clean comedy.

THE EXPORT PERIL.

The favorable trade balance" is
uEquestionably a fine thing, but there
might be disadvantages in corralling
all the worlds money.
Thus far we have seen chiefly the
benefits of the amazing export trade
caused by the war. The demand for
our crops and factory products re-
vived our industries, brought prosper
ity to the farmers and gave the whole
country a business momentum that
should carry it forward for years. An
unprecedented supply of money has
poured into the country, strengthen
ing our credit and PRESTIGE. Because
We have sold Europe, since the war
began, about $1,5O0 100000 more than
We have bought from her, our financial
position is the strongest in the world.
The favorable trade balance, how

NOVIBAZAR, THE STRONG

Heavily fortified in the time of
Turkish administration toward the
Ncyibazar is today one of the import
ant military points in Servia," says a
primer recently issued by the National
Geographic Society. 1T lies on the
road to the highlands of Montenegro,
in a northeast-southwest valley en-
c'oaa by mountain walls 1t is ths
path that the Servians have so stoutly
defended in order to keep open their
communications with their Allies Of
the mountain kingdom.
"Novibazar lies 80 miles northeast
Of Mitrovitza, the northern terminal of
the railroad from the Greek port Sa-
lCniki. The best way from the rail-
road terminal to Novibazar runs down
the valley of the Morava to Rashka,
thirty miles north, where it follows up
the course of small tributary, little
less than thirty miles to the south
We. Clcm this angle Serviac sold
iers based their slow retreat in toward
the domain of King Nicholaus. From
Novibazar, it is thirty miles to the
Montenegrin frontier.
"'The modern city, with population
OF 10000, rises on the site of the anc-
lent Servian city of Rassa 1t marks
the center of old Servian power, and,
today, it still marks, roughly, the
center of the Servian Block; for, be-
sides the kingdom o. Servia, the Ser
Wan people compose the greater part
of tn population of Croatia and Sla-
vonia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalma-
tia, and Montenegro. The country
round about is rich in old Servian
memories, one of which is the old
church of st. Peter and st. Paul, in
which Stephen Nemanya, king of Ser
via, in 1143, passed from the Roman
tc the Greek church. 1t was over this
Valley road through Novibazar, that
the Servians and Montenegrins lee
raid after raid against their Ottoman
| over-lords, and it was down this val.
ley that the Servian Montenegrins re-
treated to their inaccessible mountain
fsstness before the pressure of the
! Turks "

FOR MORALS.

Il do not mean that we should
enter world dominion. But we
should be able to say to the rest of
mankind: 1--WE in America have
stood for the dominion of law, for
a world tribunal, for the sanctity
of treaties and for the rights of
neutrals.
1--WE have discouraged armament
and sought to accomplish its linn
itations; now we say to you, if
you are going on with it, if you are
intending to overpower helpless
peoples and to dominate the world
by brute crofe, you at least shall
not dominate over US. We shall
disarm when you do, but we shall
arm as long as you arm"
Thes words from DR.. David Jayne
Hill, formerly the ambassador to Ger
many, are what the New York World
CALLS 1.-The gospel of national defense,
without miltiarism or jingoism." Some
of our dreamers who have smoked too
deeply of the pipe of peace, doped with
TIE doctrine of defenselessness, would
do well to ponder over DR.. Hill's
words.
Thirty years ago, when Grever Cleve
land demanded of congress a navy
which should be more than shabby
ornament of the government" he said:
1.-THE nation that cannot resist
aggressiveness is constantly expos
ed to it. Its foreign policy is of
necessity weak, and it's negotia-
tons are conducted with disad-
vantage because it is not in condi-
ton to enforce terms dictated by
its sense of right and justice"
During the last six months this
country has had it's memory aroused
and its sense of caution and independ,
ence stirred to a fresh understanding
of Mr.. Cleveland's announcement.
Above all things, the people of the
United States want to be in a condition
to enforce the terms which their sense
Of right and justice demands. Moral
suasion goes a long way when it is
supported by force but when it stands
alone to resist force it's stand is not OF
long continuance. In the present de-
moralized condition of what some of
the nations are pleased to call civil
i2ation, the necessity for preparedness
has come to be moral need, as we'll

THE GREATEST OF ALL.

On Sunday, December 26th, all
Methodist churches in Georgia will
ask for contributions to what is
known as the annual Christmas offer
ing for charity work at esley Mem
crial Hospital.
The public has no idea of the am
cunt of charity work done at this great
hospital. $12,6S3 worth of charity
work has been done this year, while
oily $4,000 has been contributed to
tbs cause. This is the tenth annivers-
airy of Wesley Memorial Hospital, and
over $4,000 worth of charity work
has been done-not one-fourth OF
which has been contributed-the hos
pital has paid it out of its earnings.
1t must be thoroughly understood
that there is no regard paid to creed
nor church affiliations at this hospital
The same treatment is accorded every
one in need or suffering.
