Japan's Foreign Trade.

The foreign trade returns of Japan
for the month of January make an
agreeable showing as compared with
those of a year ago. Mainly in con-
sequence of a great expansion in the
volume Of imports of raw materials,
an unpleasant feature of the foreign
trade of Japan last year was the con-
slant excess of imports over exports.
1t would seem, however, that these
conditions are now about to be re-
versed. A year ago. for example, the
returns for the first month of 1912
showed an excess in the value of i'm
ports over exports of nearly $3.50
600 UNITED, States currency, and
now the figures for January of this
year show an excess of imports over
exports of $4,137,O00. The actual total
Of exports for the month was $23 ,000,-
600, as compared with Sf5,750,000 a
year ago, while in the imports there
was an increase compared with last
year of about $4,000.O0G.

wide prohibition bill The "bllnd tiger
with other and more disastrous atten-
dant evils, continued their sway. In
1909. the prohibitionists elated with
previous successes. attempted to write
prohibition into the state constitution
An amendment to the constitution was
proposed. The campaign which fol-
lowed was the bitterest and the most
sensational which has ever occurred
in Alabama. save those which charac-
terized the day of the inglorious car
The prohibition amendment was over
whelmingly defeated by popular VOTE
Only six counties expressing themselves
favorably to it's adoption.
In 1910 the liberals obtained possess
sion of the states machinery in the
nomination by large majority and
election of Emmet O'Neal as governor.
The statewide prohibition bill of the
administration of Gov B. B. Conner was
repealed, and local option with the
county as a unit. put into force. As a
result. any county of the state could by
a petition signed by certain percent
age of it's population, call a local op-
ton election. Several counties took ad-
vantage of the opportunity, and now
liquor by license is authorize in half
dozen counties, among which are the
large counties of populous centers--
Jefferson, Mobile and Montgomery.
Revenue from saloons in jefferson
county pay the cities, county and state
a. sum in excess of S423,000 annually,
and while there is the ever present
difference between the prohibitionists
and the -prohibitionists, still it is
the consensus of opinion, as stated i'll
the beginning, that jefferson county sa-
looms are conducted and operated as
successfully as saloons can be.
