there is foggng to be done, that women should

Give the Schools a Chance.

cealed partly in the mass of figures by which they

consideration on their own merits-but punched
with other requests for money.
The only solution has been suggested often by
The Herald. Let school officials prepare the school
budget and take it direct to Congress without con-
sulting the Commissioners Let set of figures
be presented for the government of the District
of Columbia-another for the schools OF the Dis
trict of Columbia.

Prohibition and Cider.

WIHAT about hard cider: Once more the
w perplexing question has been raised Must
the city dweller continue to submit to arrest for
having in his possession 2.75 per cent beer while
his country relative keep in his cellar apple
juice ~ fermentcd condition which registers as high
as 20 per cent? The question is all the more per-
picking because it involves feature of the Vol
stead act which, we arc assured, cannot be en-
forced. Only by appeal to the law-abidng con-
science OF the countryman any progress be
made in ridding the rural districts OF hard cider
Yet cider is, without doubt, of the most
obnoxious forms OF alcohol. Some drinks make
a man morose; some make happy; some set
him to laughing and some set him to crying But
cider. so far have been able to observe has
only one effect. II sets man to fighting 1t is
however. the easiest of all intoxicants to manu-
facture at home. simple and harmless drink
simply is allowed to stand in the cellar for few
weeks. At the end of that time it has kick"
enough to make buebrd fight an eagle
But what can be done about it-even if it is
a plain vocation of the law. There are great
many thousand farmhouses in the United States
and there IS a keg OF cider in the cellars OF most
OF these. There is no guiding by which the
fermentation be traced. No complicated an
paratus is required in the manufacture 1t clearly
would be foolish to put all cider mills out OF busi-
ness-deprivng the public OF one OF the ceanest
and least harmful Of soft drinks We see nothing
Tor enforcement officers to do but let the farmer
keep his hard cider-so long as he makes and
drinks it himself.
The American farmer is fortunately situated
to break the dry Ian. His city cousins meet with
greater difficulty. But that is no reason why the
path of lawlessuess should be made easier En-
forCemcnt agents may as we'll let the farmer have
his cider. fight with his neighbors and beat up his
wife. But they can watch closely to see that he
sells none OF it to folks in the villages He is en-
titled to make his farmhouse his caste-but the
law can lay ho,d on him when he ventures forth
into other peoples castles

bills they pass the counter But the bank
ers Of Florida, it seems, more emotional and
more imaginative than most bankers; at least. so
we presume after reading the statement of bank
established in the State of orange blossoms which
was introduced into the Congressional Record the
other day by Senator Fletcher.
Statements issued by Washington banks have
appealed to particularly dry readng-espe-
cially for folks whose financial position is not
such that they are apt to take vital interest in
bald expression of fact Hence we propose to quote
from the circular issued by this Florida bank as
model of what District banks should or should
not publish-according to the taste of the reader
But if they do take hint from their Southern
contemporary will not be many years before each
bank will employ a staff poet we'll cashiers,
tellerS, etc. There has been a suspicion in the
world OF late that the poets vocation was gone
but evidently this is not the case. We see an cx-
tremely lucrative field ahead for ladies and gentle
men who can splash colors a canvas and make
pictures out of them The following quotation
was inspired by the beauties of Florida Which, at
its best is by so beautiful as the District
of Columbia. When District bankers start pub
fishing such stuff, Swinburne will turn over in his
grave and Rossetti will take flying leap into end
less space from the golden parapets.
By publishing this we have no intention Of
persuading District folks to go to Florida We
beg them to wait until their local fnanciers have
a chance to demonstrate their talents.
Here it is, however as issued by the Barnett
National Bank of Jacksonville:
Florida has invgorating atmosphere,
cooled, warmed. and ceansed by ozone from
pines and by breezes from silvery lakes and
tropic seas. 1t has sublimty of landscape,
beautiful water scenes, and open air, health
giving climate which often grants marked in
, crease IN years to those in poor health 1t is
natures sanitarium
Florida is in the most ideal latitude and
longitude on earth, the warmest in winter the
coolest in summer. We are in the same lati-
tude with the land which the Lord said would
flow with milk and honey and in which Jesus
Christ and the Christian religion were born
Florida is Commonwealth wherein every
worthy person from every cline is welcomed
whether citizen or visitor; where
milonares with the whole earth to choose
from come and build their stately mansions:
where professional and men of industry
hnd recration; where an intelligent hospitable
energetic, and patriotic citizenship live labor
and love.
Florida is the playground of the Western
continent, the garden of the United States
where babbling brooks, ripping lakes, silvery
rivers and crystal blend in eternal melody
with stately palms, gorgeous magnolias, fam
ing poinsettias, and myriad song birds; where
generous sunbeams salt sea breezes and mel
low moonlight make one forget his troubles
and his enemies, and where amid climatic
luxury, incompatible beauty and the fragrance
OF flowers, he may hear natures seductive in
