editorial mention of the splendid paper, Woman In Journalism read by MISS Margaret O'Brien at the annual meeting of the Alabama Press association. The paper was enthusiastically received by the association and received some very nice compliments by the Alabama press. Miss O'Brien is one of the most brilliant literary women in the south, and as an editorial writer and newspaper woman has few equals in this country. It is to be regretted that she has severed her con- nection with the Alabama press. Flor ence Herald.
 The Herald does the State Herald an injustice. The State Herald considers Miss O'Brien one of the most brilliant women In the south and took special pains to give her paper prominence by publishing it in full.
 By the way. Miss O'Brien is cqntemplat- ing the publication of a society journal in this city at an early date, and such paper under the guidance of lady of such keen perception of the public taste and a ma ster mind for even the dictation of leading secular journal will enable her not only to make her paper a literary success, but a financial success as well.
 Some of our democratic contemporaries are worrying about allowing those who have stayed" to vote in their primaries. They need not trouble in the least, as there is not single populst who de- sires to vote with them.-Clanton Ban ner.
 It is not the vote of the populists these contemporaries are after. If the real, genuine warm-hearted, soldierly demo- crats, who let their anger for the time being override their judgment and voted against the nominee of the party rather than submit to rulings that they consid- cred unfair and unjust, will return to the house of their fathers. there will not be enough populists left to make a. re- spectacle fusion with the republicans We want only democrats to vote in our primaries-not populists-and when once together again, instead of going outside of the party to rectify real or imagi- nary evil, they will make the fight within the ranks; and woe be unto the office hunters and bosses grown gray in the harness when the campfire of democracy begins to burn again with that brilliancy that made white men in Alabama akin and the best interests of her whole peo- pie the object sought

NICARAGUA CANAL.

The Nicaragua canal commission will report as follows:
 T. The commission declare that the Nicaragua route is by far the best for ar interoceanic canal.
 "2 While the line laid out by the Nica- ragua Canal company is good in some re- spects, number of deviations from this line, which will make the canal more feasible and easier to build, are reeom- mended.
 g. The railroad now in use is not in good condition, and prospects of improv- ing it do not seem satisfactory A. Continuous washing down of sand has greatly damaged the work done on the Greytown harbor. The condition of the soil here seems to be a great bar to successful work.
 "5 Government control of the canal is recommended, and congress is advised to make it a national undertaking"
 The report is a lengthy one, and goes into details on the points above enumer- ated. The commission, while 1t was not authorized to report on the Panama canal, visited the isthmus, and investigation there has been of great aid in comparing the geographical advantages of both places The report will be finished and in the hands of the president by Novem- ber

THE SECOND THOUGHT.

The article in the Westminster Gazette from the pen of that distinguished Brit ish journalist, MT. w. T. Stead, which appeared on Thursday afternoon, was very timely. It is the second and sober thought of John Bull as to the danger of disturbing the amicable relations between this country and Great Britain. MT Stead calls attention to the deep-seated interest of the United States in maintaining the Monroe doctrine and preventing the growth of European influence in the new world He calls attention to the fact that this country has built very respec- table navy andiis still adding to it. Such conservative warnings may have no effect in putting a stop to the aggresslveness of Great Britain, but they must surely awaken refiecting minds in England to the peril into which jingoism is rushing the British government.
 There is but one sentiment in the United States and that is that foreign powers have already too much of foot hold upon this continent and that they are a constant menace to our republican form of government. The feeling for the freedom of Cuba from Spanish rule IS universal There was great disgust over the Nicaragua affair. There is great ln- dignation over the deliberate absorbtion of Venezuelan territory.
 Our people are a unit against the con- tinued rule of any part of this continent by foreign powers. just as they were a unit when the eloquent voice of Henry Clay in 1921 appealed for the freedom of the Central and South American prov f oin fsnto opTs aCc does not at it's December session recog- nize the Cubans as belligerants, and if it does not demand that the claim Of Great Britain as to the disputed Vene- zuelan territory shall be arbitrated. the people of this republic will be greatly dis appointed. For Spain to continue it's barbarous and insolent government over Cuba, directly at our door, and for Great Britain to arbitrarily seize the mouth of the Orinoco and thus subject to its sway the most valuable regions of South Amer ica are outrages upon the principles for which Henry Clay fought so bravely, not to be borne by us who are the lead CTS of republican government. We have set up the beacon light of liberty on this continent and it is our duty to defend every acre of it from European rule no matter how that rule was acquired. We have the money; we have the men; we have the ships. If the navy is not now sufficient it will be strong enough by the time we have amused ourselves by over running and absorbing Canada.
 If Great Britain wants to see her ships driven from the ocean, her commerce de stroyed and her colonial governments asserting their independence she will per sist in her present arbitrary course. We trust that the second thought will pre- vail

 ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE

the early part of last November, the German legation, in charge of the protec- tion of British interests in Venezuela, received a telegram from Berlin in which, in the name of the British cabinet, men, tion was made of a supposed violation of the colonial frontier, and assurances were urgently demanded that in the fu- ture no Venezuelan soldiers should be allowed to cross the stream on that side, and go to the right bank of the Cuyuni river. A declaration of this kind by Venezuela would have been equivalent to an implied recognition of the alleged rights of Great Britain to the possession of that territory. and would have also im- piled the withdrawal of the several pro- tests made by Venezuela ever since 1887 against an infringement or abridgement of her territory. Under these circum- stances no hesitation was possible, and the answer given by the department of foreign relations, far from giving the assurances demanded by the British cab met, served only to make repetition of all that the republic of Venezuela had said against the claims of Great Britain, although stating, at the same time, the desire of the government to avoid new difficulties through Just and fair settle ment of the question"

BIRMINeHAM.s oPpoRrUNITY.

Birmingham has again started upward. The attention of the world is directed here as the place where iron and steel are made and fuel for manufacturing purposes mined at less cost than on any other spot on the globe. =.
 It is also recognized that this is a mag nifieent railroad center. Our railroads running out in every direction, like the spolSes of wheel, make this great dis tributing point.
 Our people have the brains and energy requisite. and 1t Is only necessary that they take advantage of splendid oppor- tunities to build here a greater city.
 Maintain as a rallying place our Com mercial club. Do not stand by looking on, but join in the city's upbuilding. It will inure to your own individual vel fare.
 What could we not accomplish if every citizen would give a small portion of his time to push Birmingham forward? Do it. The State Herald will cooperate with you in making this. which is already a great city, the greatest city in the south.

THE ANSWER OF VENEZUELA.

Venezuela has strenuously denied the right of Great Britain to the territory now claimed by her. This is shown by the answer of our sister republic when the claim was first advanced and which was ressued a few days ago by the Ven- czuelan legation at Washington. This is what the Venezuelan government had in part to say in answer to the British de- mands:
 In September last September, 1S9D, the govrnment (of Venezuela) knew that the high authorities of Demerara, Brltlsh Guiana were ready to make protests and raise questions because some Nenezuelan soldiers had crossed the river Cuyuni, near the place where the So-called Eng fish station is, and had felled timber on The right bank of the river. Information has been received here that this move ment began by some threats of the colon ial agents against certain Venezuelan cit izens who had resided at that point for a long time. It was also known that the band of Venezuelan soldiers had crossed the river only for the purpose of cele- brating the national festivity of July 5, In the house of friends of theirs residing in that territory. The British colonial agent, who have exercised their authority since the day in which the government of Demerara wrongfully decided to oc- oupy that part of the Venezuelan terri tory, were allowed to continue in their place without being molested by the forces of Venezuela.
