ing investigated by ASST CnleI
County Clerk John Mack. He was in
formed today that certain Chicago
foreign language newspapers pub
lished few days ago stories to the
effect that marriage licenses would
not be issued after April Is.
81 have not had time to check up
on the information given me-" said
Mack today. 81 do not know wheth-
er it is true or not, but do know that
last Saturday our Office received
more than 200 telephone calls asking
if it were true that we would not is
sue licenses after April Is. That
looks peculiar"
One explanation suggested today
by an official who intends to ask the
dept of justice to investigate is that
these stories were published in Ger
tain foreign language papers with
the intention of prompting men con-
templating marriage this year to get
their licenses now for either immedi-
ate or future use, with the idea that
the effect of the demand for licenses
would serve as an indication that
public sentiment was against this
war.
Less marriage licenses were issued
today because less clerks were avail
able at the bureau. Twenty of the
army Of extra clerks sent to the bu-
reau Monday were sent back to their
desks.
Judge Marcus Kavanagh today
bitterly scored the issuance of
licenses to slackers and suggested
that the county clerk refuse to issue
licenses to those whose apparent OBJ
ject in wedding was to escape duty
to country. John Mack said he
agreed with all Judge Kavanagh said,
but that his Office had no legal right
to refuse a license to whoever was
eligible to wed.

AN IMPORTANT ENGAGEMENT

Reference at a recent dinner wa- made
to the subject Of important engagements
and William P. G. Harding. a member OF
the Federal Reserve Board, recalled a
happy little incident along that line.
One afternoon a young man who was
employed in g big mercantile establish
ment went to the private once of the
boss and began to make sundry motions
like trying to say something.
Mr.. Jones'" he finally managed tc re-
mark, with q perfectt bouquet OF rosy
blushes, "if you don't mind l would like
to have OF next Thursday afternoon"
Next Thursday afternoon exclaimed
the boss In an expostulatory voice
Don't you know that we are very busy
on that day7 What do you want to &c

XIII Everything but Pork.

1t is to be hoped that the Senate
Committee on Appropriations will
override the hasty: ill-considered and
unjust decision of the Democratic
members of its subcommittee in de-
nying to government employees de-
cent, living wages. If, however, the
committee fails, the employees still
have faith in the fairness and COM
posite good sense of the Senate and
from that body these loyal servants
of the government may get some re-
lief from their present unfortunate
position of being ground between the
upper and neither millstones OF the
high cost of living and general pros
-perity.
When Senators Overman, Bryan
Robinson voted down the S and 10
per cent increases granted by the
House of Representatives, they ex-
ceeded their real functions.
The representative body, the re-
sponsive body, the popular branch
OF Congress is charged by the Con-
stitution with the duty of providing
revenues, levyins taxes and taking the
initiative in spending the public
moneys.
The House has never needed a
check over its extravagant salaries
for government workers. In fact the
House has been as negligent as a
stepfather toward the employees of the
government for many years. For the
three Southern Senators suddenly to
interpose their wisdom and ideas of
economy is certainly excessive zeal,
if nothing else may be said.
What the Senate needs is a Proc
tor Knott to remind it OF the ne
eessity of deepening "the great un-
salted sea" at Duluth or to be re-
minded of the kind-hearted Congress
that once voted in the name of char
ity to provide a fish hatchery "for
millions of unborn little fish" in Tu-
palo, Miss.
We can picture in our minds eye
the strenuous effort the three Sena-
tors would make to defeat real pork
bill should it contain just a slice or
two for Florida, North Carolina and
Arkansas.
But is it fair. Senator'S, that en-
ployes of your government should be
kept with their noses to the grind
stones, aye, even in debt for their
livelihoods, while waste and extrava-
gance is byword in every govern
mental agency directly under the in
Auence Of Congressional directionl

Wanted: -Four Billions Of Ex-
port Trade.

The total volume of the exports Of
the United States to the countries
fighting in the entente-that is Great
Britain and her colonies, France,
Russia, Italy aud Japan-in 1916
amounted to s3S,2oo,ooo,ooo, We sold
that amount of goods to these five
countries and the list Is not complete,
because the items are taken from the
World Almanac which has made a
computation only Of the twenty best
customers of the United States and
omits Portugal and the other smaller
countries at war with the central
empires.
The question naturally arises, what
will become of this business if there
is an end of the war?
So, too, the question arises, what
will become of this business if the
German influence so maneuvers af-
fairs as to check these imports, ex-
cusing their activities on the ground
that 1t will shorten the war2
A third question comes forward.
What will be the shift in the balance
of trade when these countries are at
peace and they begin to meet Us on
the question of costs of productions ?
The government has lately had a
most luminous illustration bearing
upon two of these questions. This
was given in the bid of Had6elds,
Limited, of Sheffield, England, for
the naval requirements of I4-inch
shells and 16-inch shells. This bid
knocked the bottom out of all argu-
ments that this country is in no
danger from European competition
under the neariy-approached free
trade provided in the Underwood tar
iff. --,
There is free-trade in explosives,
and even if there were not the gov
ernment would remit any duty exact
ed on supplies for the army or the
navy.
But let US suppose that the war
should end in three months. There
rs just as much reason to expect that
It will end in that time a. that it
will end in year or a year and a
half. The President of the United
States, unless The Herald misses its
guess, will continue watching the situ-
alton and be prepared at any tipse to
renew his efforts.
Could it be possible for the Tariff
Commission to have prepared in three
months new set of schedules which
will meet the difference in cost at
home and abroad in the manufacture
of those articles which we have been
supplying to all of entente Europe
and Japan? Three months would
bring US to the middle of April, by
which time the President could call
an extraordinary session of the Sixty
fourth Congress. ~
A revision of the tariff is not
rapid process. It has to do with the
revenues of the government, and even
according to the Democratic view also
In measure with our material pros
perity. The session which passed the
Wilson tariff began December 4,
1893, and ended August z8, 1894; that
which passed the Dingley law began
March IS 1897, and ended Jelly n,
