The recently published statement Of the
Bureau Of Statistics which has been ex-
plotted in the free trade newspapers of the
country claiming that the increase Of
manufactures increased largely under the
low tariff rates Of the Wilson law has led
somebody to look into the general history
OF our foreign commerce during the past
half century. The result OF this investi
CATION shows that in the past twenty five
years the balance OF trade has been in our
favor to the extent OF 50, 46l ,000, 900,
while in the preceding quarter OF CEN
fury the balance OF trade was against us
to the tune Of 81 400, COO, 900. When 1t
is remembered that the past quarter OF
century has been one OF constant pro-
lection with the exception OF the three
unhappy years of the Wilson law and
that the preceding quarter OF century
was one of mostly low tariffs, the signifl-
canoe OF these figures will be recognized.

A short time ago a New York city cy-
clist left his bicycle standing at the curb
OF the boulevard while he went into q
store to make a purchase. During his
absence cart driver ran his vehicle into
the bicycle and smashed it. The owner
OF the bicycle was member of the l.. A.
W., and that organization sued the truck
driver for hiin. The court awarded the
cyclist judgment covering the amour t
it cost TO repair the bicycle and his coun.
sci fees, holding that the eye list had a
right to stand his bicycle against the curb,
and that the cart driver must have been
careless in running into IT,

Each State Division OF the League OF

terested 10 securing the punishment of
the "scorcher,' and Of all others that use
the wheel for illegal objects, as the COM
munity at large and it would be q good
thing to call the attention OF the local
league officers to all cases where wheel
men render themselves obnoxious. And
1t might be well for the police authorities
to secure their cooperation in all cases
where wheelmen are involved. The New
Jersey Division, as well as many of the
other State Divisions, promises and give
legal protection to it's members in the
rightiul use of the roads, but 1t will at no
time give aid or assistance in any illegal
act We we'll understand that we are
held responsible for the acts OF all cyclers,
the public not knowing whether they are
members or not, so we will aid TO punish
all illegal acts on the part Of wheelmen.

METHODIST CHURCH SOUTH
The Annual Conference Begins Its
Sessions at Stanton.
Assignments to New Pulpits the
vention-Local Changes.

Beginning today and continuing for one
week, the Methodist Episcopal Church
| South will meet in annual convention at
| staunton, Va. Right Rev. Bishop c. B.
| Galloway, of Jackson, Miss, who is one
Of the youngest bishops in the church, will
preside.
One of the chief purposes of the conven-
ton is the assigning to new puIpits those
pastors whose terms in their present pulpits
have expired. Only two changes in Wash
ington are involved in this meeting The
terms OF Rev. DR.. Cantor, pastor of Mount
Vernon Place Church, and of Rev. Rum
sey Snthson, presiding elder OF the Dis
trict, both run out at this session, and
they will accordingly be transferred to
other points.
Where these gentlemen will be assigned
is entirely matter of conjecture, as moth
ing definite can be said until the confer
ence shall have met, and the best inter
ests of the church have been carefully
considered by the bishop presiding and
the cabinet council
1t has been surmised that Mr.. SmithSon
will be appointed to the presiding cider
ship of the eastern district of Baltimore
succeeding Rev. j. E. Armstrong, and
that DR.. Cantor will be advanced 70 the
position of presiding elder of the Wash
ington district
This latter appointment would be emf
nently satisfactory to a large proportion of
the Washington NJ r. South Church, as
DR.. Cantor is generally considered one of
the best workers in the conference. More
than this, he has become personally very
popular in Washington since his coming to
this city four years ago.
Since his appointment the increase in the
Mount Vernon Church is said to have been
unprecedented, an increase of 600 on an
original membership Of 300 having taken
place in that time
While serving as pastor of the Mount Yer
non congregation, he also established a
missionin Georgetown, and a branch church
at Del Ray, which is now a separate charge.
The Baltimore mission comprises all
the churches OF the NJ. E. South denornina-
ton in Maryland, the District Of Columbia,
all of Virginia, which lies betwe the
Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, and in
the Shenandoah valley, and West Virginia
as far West as Lewisburg and Hinton.
1t is in a very prosperous condition, and
inthe last quarter of acentury hasincreased
its membership over 500 per cent.
