Editor of The Washington Herald: Ac-
cording to the report Of the chief OF
police ot-the city Of Portland. Me. for
the year 1913. there were over 4a0 ar
rests for drunkenness in that year. This
is about per cent of the population OF
5000
For the same year the report OF the
chief OF police of Washington shows
only Sl2i cases of drunkenness. or III
per cent. making the National Capital
the most orderly and soberest city in
the country.
IL Washington had the same proportion
of drunkenness as the metropolis of the
leading prohibition State. there would be
just -. 800 instead of SET. This beats the
cities of every prohibition State in the
Union. such as Atlanta, Birmingham.
Memphis. Nashville, Knoxville. Kansas
City. Kans. Topeka. and even Wheeling.
W. Va. the State that has the most
stringent of all prohibition laws.
Under these circumstances. would it
not be well for prohibitionists to take
greater notice of the beam In the eyes
of the prohibition cities and pay less
attention to the mote in the eye of Wash
ington? We certainly do not want pro-
hibition here il We are to have q. 800
cases of drunkenness a year, or per
cent as in Portland. Many men OF ex-
perience in such matters are of the
opinion that by the exclusion of the
harmless beverages such as wines and
beers by prohibitive legislation the i'm
pOrtations of the stronger beverages
from Baltimore and other points would
lead to just such conditions as are found
in Portland. f. l.. SCHARF.

PRINCESS SWANS SPONSOR.
Canadian clergyman Advcrtiscs for
Wife Through Mayor Mitchell.

New York. April 3.-Once more has
Mayor Mitchell been called on to CON-
fort lonely heart. This one belongs
to Church of England rector living
in Barrie. Ontario. who holds degree
from oxford and who lists among
those who vouch for him the Bishop
of Ontario and the Princess Frederick
of Brunswick and Lunenburg.
Some days ago the Clergyman wrote
the mayor asking him 10 recommend
wife. His thought then was that
IL the mayor could not actually make
selection he could at least VI let
tiers from some young women Of New
York and send their proposals on 10
him. The mayors secretary replied
that this wasn't feasible, and suggest
ed that the rector's desires be made
known to the newspapers. Yesterday
the following letter came:
This is to thank you for kindly
acceding to my request to aid me in
finding a wife, and yod may publish
my want
Il desire a well-bred, cultured wom-
an. healthy, cheerful, preferably not
over 30 years of age. For publication
let me repeat that I am an Episcopa-
liam minister. graduate of a leading
university, healthy, vigorous and
bright artistic and practical. Affection
ate and very devoted where deserved.
II send you credentials that will en-
able you to attest my position and
social standing. OF course. all COM
municstions will be honorably treated
by me as strictly confidential"
The clergyman's address is Box No
7ol, Barrie, Ontario.
The Bishop of Ontario writes of the
wife-seeker: He is in good health,
very active, full of pluck and energy.
He could be designated as a manly
man. He is about 30 years Of age and
has no ties
Princess Frederica's letter was not
forwarded to the mayor. Its existence
was testified to, however. sy W. L.

School Teachers

r?Sy reap the benefits of their hard
labor. and their parents sacrifices by
securing schools. bot I am unaltcrabIy
opposed to being taxed one cent to paw
salaries to those women who drew dis
cards in the marriage lottery, and who
are now willing to publicly acknowledge
that their husbands are destitute Of all
manhood and chivalry-too lazy and
worthless to support the wives they pro-
fess to love. II the women want extra
money why do they rot let 1t be known
by advertising that they will teach In
their own homes. those persons who
wish a better education. and not at
tempt to wrench from the girls their
means of self-support.
One of the pleas brought forward in
favor OF repeal of the rule in question
is that many young teachers about to
marry find they will have to work after
marriage. Why? Do they not know be-

is not only able to. but willing to sup

The complete figures for the country's
foreign trade in February, according to
the April bulletin of the National City
Bank of New York, show a credit bal
ance running far over the preliminary es
innate and reaching the astonishing
total OF slISG0i.35S. Exports were sl2i.
500 .S12 above and imports So, 92l .3S5 be-
low the corresponding figures for Feb
ruary. 1914. The belated movement of
cotton and the heavy exports of wheat
were the chief factors in the showing.
but war supplies were prominent. The
cotton and wheat movement is now de-
clining. but war supplies are growing
in importance. with sales in some lines
only limited by available vessels and the
ability OF manufacturers to fill orders.
This Is true of barbed wire and am
munition. This noted financial authority
proceeds TO speculate as to the future as
follows:
Elects of the Trade Balance.
The question is naturally asked what
will be the probable effect of the enor
NOUS trade balance now afcruins; does 1t
mean prosperity for the United States?
In our experience we have had several
notable instances of prosperity following
a big crop and heavy exports. but trade
balances do>not always have the same
Significance. Upon the occasions named,
worldwide conditions were practically
normal, and now they are disturbed by
the great war. In the other years the
prosperity of the farmers gaze the initial
impetus for new period Of expansion;
this time while the grain farmers are
prosperous the cotton growers have NOT
had an average return. Moreover, the
prosperity of those other years was in
great degree due to the fact that foreign
ers. seeing that conditions here were
promising. made large investments In
this country which involved construction
and gave employment to labor!
The present abnormal balance is due
in large part to an uneven and disturbed
trade, and care must be taken not unduly
to magnify particular features which are
sensational at first view. Thus the heavy
flow Of exports in recent months Is due
in part to the fact that the movement
was damned up last fall. in the season
when II IL normally heaviest. Through
out the fall business in the rSouth was
depressed and collections at standstill
because cotton could not be sold. and
now that cotton exports are running
higher than they ever did before at this
season Of the year. we must not imagine
that the excess IL all ..velvetT How
ever, the rest Of the country may be mis-
led In this aspect. the South 10 not likely
to forget that the cotton crop Of 1914
will bring several hundred millions less
money th1n the preceding one. Not
withdrawing the heavy exports OF recent
months ended February 3. 19ia. was
81, ~. $S3 less than for the same months
Of the preceding fiscal year. From the
month Of March on this year will doubt
