the Methodist Episcopal church re-
garding the question of Methodist
Episcopal church, Methodist Episco-
pal church South, and Methodist
Protestant church, the college of
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church South today issued a state
ment declaring that the action of the
southern church ''Must be determined
by its commissioners appointed six
years ago on the joint commission of
federation"
In discussing the proposals the
bishops said, "The history of the
southern church is not something &c

alliances we may enter in the future,
we should go into them not crawling
upon the earth but with nplifted

OUR FOREIGN TRADE A NORMAL
DEVELOPMENT.

Though our foreign trade within the
past two years has increased in an unpre-
cedented and altogether miraculous man
ner, there has been nothing abnormal about
It, The United States, before the outbreak
OF the European war, was third among the
exporting nations of the world, and as DR.
Edward Ewing Pratt, of the Bureau of
.Fore1gn and Domestic Commerce said in
recent address, the recent great growth
OF our trade is really the climax Of a de-
Velopment which has been going on for
several decades
From the nineties down, the percentage
OF our raw materials exported gradually
diminished, and the per eentage of manu-
tactured goods sold abroad increased from
20 to AZ per cent
The war then merely hastened our COM
mercial achievement, and our trade is not
builded upon the sands Europe will need,
upon the conclusion of peace, practically
everything, from lumber to rebuild her
| shattered cities, down TO the smallest man
ufaetured articles, for her supply of raw
material will be almost nil.
Our shell expectations will be succeeded
| by a commerce which it will tax our ships
to carry, and our factories to deliver

GROWTH OF PROHIBITION.

While church people have, individually,
ALWAYS been against the grog shoP,
churches have refrained from taking any
general stand on the prohibition question.
The action of the Episcopal church, there
fore, meeting in convention in St. Louis,
last week, in adopting an anti-saloon reso-
luton, is significant
The growth of the prohibition sentiment
of late is one of the most remarkable de-
velopnaents of modern days. Nine of our
states swung into the column this year
The two million dollar reduction in the
Federal governments income from taxes
on alcoholic beverages in 1915 is a startling
indication of the increase of temperance
territory.
But this is class of taxation which any
government would gladly do without.
Russia, early in the war, put the ban on
the drink that was debasing its subjects.
Until England regulated drinking, the out
put of the munitions factories was way
below production, and the work in the ship
yards dragged greatly. Absinthe was pro-
Aibited in France last year, and French
troops are now allowed no more alcohol
than that which is distributed as rations.
Penalties have been provided for those who
sell alcohol to soldiers
By 10000 majority prohibition carried
in Alberta Province, Canada, in 1915; Ice
land, early in the same year, prohibited the
sale of alcoholic liquors. and prohibition
also carried Newfoundland
National prohibition is the ultimate de,
velopment for the United States, and it
will be accomplished, not by the prohibi
ton party. but by the natural evolution ot
the people. Prohibition is many times
stronger than the prohibition party. Tenn
perance is not political measure; it is ar
ECONOMIC measure, it is a moral measure
temperance IS question of right living
like honesty.

weak optional compulsory attend
ance. The average rural schoo4
term in Maryland has been for some
years 1913 days, but under thIs
"purerile and defenceless" compulsory
attendance law, to quote the staI
superintendent of public instruction
in that state, the number of pupils
attending daily in every 100 enrolled
in the rural schools of Maryland was
only 81. This makes the actual aver
age rural school term in Maryland
only 91.7 days. On the other hand,
OREGON, with statewide mandatory
school attendance law, has had rural
school term of 1887 days; the
number of pupils attending daily in
every 100 enrolled was 90.6. While
Oregon's legal rural school term was
Gil days shorter than that of Mary
land. yet on account of Oregon's
statewide mandatory compulsory at
tendance law her actual average rU--
al school term was 1915 days, OF
15.8 days longer than Maryland's ac-
tual average rural school trm. How
ever, the last session of the General
Assembly of Maryland passed 9

During the next gubernatorial
term a number of judges of the cir

Mr. Cats has said that he would

when he became a canaies-e before

the republicans wished, there would
have been ground for these hopes.
