A Dry Washington.

Whether Washington is to be dry town is
likely to depend upon whether somebody makes
a point of order in the United States Senate.
After that, it may depend upon whether some
body else insists that the Senate itself vote on
the point of order, rather than allow a presiding
officer to rule it.
Does Washington want prohibition? That is
quite immaterial Nobody seems to have thought
seriously of asking the question. 1t is merely a
question of whether members of Congress want
Washington to have prohibition.
Not even question whether members of Con-
gress want prohibition for their own homes. Just
question whether it would be better politics for
them to favor or oppose it for people who are
not their constituents
Here is question which the rule every
where is to let the people decide for themselves
One State votes for it, another against it. Bht
Washington may get it without even a sugges-
non of effort to determine how the affected COM
munity feels.
Whether Washington shall or shall not have
such revolutionary change should be a question
tor the people of Washington, and nobody else
to decide. But the last people who will get
chance to decide the citizens of the National
Capital.
If Washington wants to go dry, it should
have the privilege. But it should not have that
policy imposed on it by Congress without chance
for local opinion to be hesrd.-New York Press.

Remarkable Record of Exports.

The Department of Commerce announces that
for the week ending January 9, there a trade
balance in favor of the United States on foreign
merchandise transactions at the thirteen princi-
pal customs ports in the United States of $35,ooz-
453. The total exports for the week amounted
to SI6,82o,247, and included 35I,633 bales of cot
ton. Exports of cotton for the past FIVE weeks
amounted to I,382,ooo bales. The record for last
week il maintained for the rest of the year would
bring exports up to point far in excess of
those for 1914 There is nothing Elusive about
the prosperity which these figures portend. They
would tend to justify the optimism of those
fnanciers who foresee gold shipments by Great
Britain to this country before long. The figures
also may be interpreted in measure corrobo-
rating Earl Grey's statistics of our foreign COM
mcrce and the contention that neutral shipping
has not been seriously interfered with.

"If farmers were to raise and slaughter meat
for home consumption the high cost of living
might be reduced" says Gov. Fielder, of New
Jersey, in his annual message to the legislature.
He points out farmers are selling calves at 10
cents and buying meat for their families at 80
cents pound. If farmeSs throughout the coun-
try would heed Gov. Fielder's words a problem
that is daily becoming wore serious would be
solved. The time would seem to be approaching.

President Wilson will surely read Representa-
tive Mann's speech with mixed emotions. Whether
he will be glad or sorry to learn that he didn't
fool those innocent Republicans with joker in
the trade commission bill it is,rcasonabIy sure he
will Jc sorry that he claimed to have done so.
While presenting his very able defense of the
President Mr. Mann seized the opportunity to
place before the country the record OF a great
amount OF constructive legislation enacted by the
Republicans. The Presidential campaign is long
way off, but President Wilson's indianapolis
speech has resulted in giving little rehearsal
of a 1916 battle scene.

1t is rather early, but more than one suggested

In very true sense all life is preparation for
meeting trouble. There are those who meet it in
a way that seems to cause it instantly to lay
down its arms. They are the we'll prepared. They
can meet anything. But the othcrs-and they in
clude the vast majority-are not prepared at all.
BY resenting, by giving way to their pride, by
feeling themselves especially injured, by compar-
ing their misfortune with the good fortune Of
others, which they exaggerate they excite trouble
into turning all its weapons against them. No,
they on the firing line And most of their
wounds are self-inhicted.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-15

In suffering, pride operate like scourge.
And it is scourge always administered on the
tenderest of our sensibilities by ourselves. At
this moment, throughout the world, there are
millions of people who lashing themselves
and crying to heaven for relief. Their very la
mentations increase their pain. They call on God
to bind up their wounds while they keep the
wounds open. They suffer far more than the self
torturing martyrs OF old For the martyrs had
the compensation of feeling that their physical
pain atoned for their sins and kept them from
future sins and prepared their souls for heaven,
a compensation that must often have inspired
them with holy JOY, in some cases converting
the pain into bliss.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-15

In the wounds that give pride there
arc no compensations. The pain may be all the
more through giving physical mani
fcstation And what is worse, it tends to
shrivel up the soul. There are no sufferers
mean as those who suffer most deeply in their
pride. The measure of their pain is the measure
OF their sel-consciousncss, OF their concentration
on themselves and on their claims and their
competitive and rcsentful and most alternating
attitude toward the rest Of the world.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-15

This outburst interested so much that
yielded to the temptation to ask questions. "Are
there any people that help you by their attitude,
that make you feel better?"
"Oh, yes. Most people do, just by letting me
alone and letting feel that l just about
like themselves. That helps to put me into
normal mood. Those who help most of all are
the close friends that treat me the old basis,
that joke and laugh with me and act as if they
felt sure l should come out all right. And, OF
course, l shall come out all right. There isn't the
slightest doubt about it. And | shall come out
better man than | before. I've learned
good deal from this experience Among other

1t seemed to Ine that, for most OF us, there

possible good either to ourselves to any one
else. On the other hand, that sufferer showed
that in his attitude toward the sympathzers he
by means sound Why should he have
allowed their weakness to be debitating to him?
Behind it there kindly interest. Why didn't
he take that to himself and let the rest go? He
was really suffering, not through what they felt

consciousness and letting it hurt his pride

whole. but so far as Attala county
is concerned the crops of all kinds
have been cut off. first by too wet
