To the Editor:
—Being a reader of The Journal and interested in the question of its removal from the old stand, I was curious enough to figure out the number of subscribers (members) in the principal Eastern cities as compared with those in the West, and I find Chicago leads them all.The number of subscribers (members) in the Eastern cities is as follows: Philadelphia 109, Washington 82, New York 77, Baltimore 35, Brooklyn 25, and Boston 33, making a total of 361 copies distributed in six cities with a population of nearly five millions. In the Western cities: Chicago 171, Cincinnati 83, St. Louis 79, Louisville 24, Detroit 28, and Cleveland 20, making a total of 405 subscribers (members) in six cities of a population of about two and a half million. The Eastern States make the following showing: Pennsylvania 397, New York 234, Massachusetts 121, New Jersey 55,
