HARDEE SPEAKS
HEREONMONDAY
Aspirant for Governor Will Ad-
dress Voters on Merits of
His Candidacy.

Hon. Cary A. Hardee, candidate Tor
the democratic nomination. for gov
ernor. will speak in pensacola at
O'Clock next Monday night in the IN
terests of his candidacy. Mr.. Hardee
will explain his position on various
public questions and will answer the
attacks that have been made on hlm.
Mr.. Hardee has been making state
wide tour and has met an encouraging
response in every section, according to
reports in the state press. 1t is under
stood that the withdrawal OF Mr.. wat
son from the race has strengthened Mr.
Hardee's chances materially.
In south and southwest FLORIDA wnere
Mr.. Watson had great strength, II is
understood the people are turning to
Mr.. Hardee and that the probabilities
of his being nominated are much
greater.
West Florida offers an interesting
study for the observer of politics. Mr..
Hardee has to battle considerable
amount Of labor antagonism, much OF
which he claims is founded on misin-
formation. It is this misinformation
which he will attempt to explain away
when he comes to Pensacola Monday
night, and big crowd is expected out
to hear him.
Mr.. Hardee is an interesting and
convincing speaker, uses clear-cut and
forcefuI English and gives promise OF
making good governor II nominated
and elected.

'MIKADO GIVES

First News of Desperate Illness
of Exalted Ruler of Far

BY JACK MASON.

Toxic, Japan. May 12-Yoshihito
the mikado of Japan, is a dying man
He is the last of the dynastic auto.
Gratis. The czar is dead; the kaise,
in exile; the emperor of Austria Hun
gary is no more.
This is the first of his desperate
Japanese newspaper has ever men
toned it; the law prohibits them from
commenting on such matters relat-
ing to the royal family. But / have
it today from the most reliable sources
that he is now in his last illness and
that it. is only a question of 4 short
time before this mikado will be gath
cred to his 121 fathers who have ruled
Japan before him.
Emperor Yoshihito's condition is
said to be pitiable. His ailment mas
affected hs brain and he is incapable
of attending to the simplest affairs Of
state, even if he is able to recognize
those about him.
Only few days ago, a great confer
ence of imperial princes and elder
statesmen was held to discuss the fl
nancial crisis in Japan. The conferes
Unless Yoshihito was entirely incap-
able, no such meeting could have been
held except sunder his craftsmanship.
On April. lis new ministers Great
Britain, Mexico and Czecho- -Slovakia
presented their credentials. For the
first time on such an occasion they
were received by the crown prince in
place of the emperor.
The stricken ruler is living at the
imperial villa, located close to the
beautiful seashore village of Hayama.
The grounds are most carefully guard
ed and a heavy veil of secrecy has
been drawn about Yoshihito, even IN
side the house itself, so that the facts
of his despairing condition shall not
leakout. However, many stories OF his
unbalanced actions and habits are car
ried under the breath from place to
place over the nation.
1t is possible that a regent may be
appointed if death does not come
shortly.

Endorsements of Meeting

Pensacola labor men, rs or more ir

Van c. Swearingen, as heads of the
ticket.
In local and county politics w. E.

The action of last nights meeting
created considerable interest, and
much comment, both favorable and
unfavorable, was heard. Whether or
not the action indicates the general
opinion of organized labor is unknown,
although many union men said after
the meeting that they were opposed to
any such endorsements, especially with
reference to Cats.

SOUNDS TRADE KEYNOTE
Says Americans Must Reverse
Former Ideas of What Con-
stitutes Healthy Balance

| San Francisco, May 12.-That wa
| loans to belligerent nations, the re.
purchase of American securities, an6
! the development of our merchant
marine have revolutionized our or
binary ideas of what constitutes "fa-
vorable' foreign trade, was the asser-
tion of George E. Roberts, vice -presi-
dent of the National City Bank of New
York, in delivering one of the key
note speeches this afternoon before the
National Foreign Trade Convention.
During the ten years next preced-
ing the outbreak of the war;" said
Mr.. Roberts, "the average annual bal
ance of trade in favor Of the United
States on merchandise account was
approximately 500,000,000, and it was
practically offset by the balance in
what has been called the invisible ac-
count.
TT is evident that the war has dis
turbed this old state of equilibrium.
American securities which We're held
abroad and the interest and dividends
upon them hereafter will remain at
home. We are building a great fleet
of merchant ships with the intention
of carrying a larger portion of the
overseas trade, and we have become
creditors to Europe in a very large
amount. Including the loans Of the
United States government to the gov
ernments associated with it in the
war, the balance in our favor upon
interest accounts is doubtless consider
ably above s500,00O,000 per annum.
What effect will this shift of the
balance of payments in the invisible
account have upon our foreign trade !?
How many people have realized that
there is a relationship between the
two classes of payments, or that they
have influence upon each other? And
yet moments reflection will show
that the payments and receipts of
in internat tional relations
must balance in the aggregate.
I'm the past it was necessary for the
United States to have a trade balance
Of approximately s500,0oo,O00 per year
in order to pay the. charges accruing
against it abroad; but in the future it
will be necessary for the United States
to receive a balance of perhaps an
equal amount in order to collect the
interest running in its favor and
against other countries.
s'This may sound to some people like
/ startling and even alarming change.
Dur own history has accustomed US
20. thinking that we must have a trade
balance in our favor in order to be in
l sound and prosperous condition, but
hat was true because we We're in a
lebtor position. We had to have an
excess of exports over imports suffi-
