Filtration Prevents Typhoid.

In the last six months Paris, the City
Beautiful, has had 1900 cases of typhoid
fever, and it knows where it got the germs
of all these cases. Beautiful as the city
is, its water supply is impure, and it has
been officially ascertained that the typhoid
germs came in it's water supply.
Does Paris go on drinking water full of
disease germs? No, indeed. That sort of
earelessness is reserved for American cities
IN the effete countries of Europe they act,
and they act intelligently and speedily.
They do not harbor typhoid which is far
more destructive than yellow fever, one
moment longer than they are compelled to
wait.
che scientists finally have demonstrated
that an impure water supply be rid
OF disease germs by the filtration process,
and Paris has already decided to install a
filtration system. Even the horses in Paris
had typhoid. In this country 152 cities have
adopted the filtration system, and in those
l52 cities there are few, if any, typhoid
cases. Filtration of the best sort is an
effective means of water publication; and
as a filtration system is much less ex-
pensive than a new water supply, even if
one be possible, 1t is economy to apply the
latest entertainments of the scientists.

WHAT Ais CHINA

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The saying, 1.-The most powerful man in
the world is dead man." is terribly true
of China as reflected in Rev. Francis E.
Carks North American article entitled.
lie Empire of the Dead
China is ruled by a Dead Hand at is
not right in China to aspire to surpass your
father writes DR.. Clark, still less to be
the equal of your GRANDPA Their, still less
to approach the virtue of your great-great-
grandfather Never was the mighty power
OF an idea shown as in this ancestor
worship in dwarfing and stunning a great
nation"
Against this frozen reverence for the
dead the warm forces of progress beat in
vain. China is fixed in conservatism. She
has worshipped death, not life, and in con-
sequence is moribund herself
Whether not recent events will awaken
the Empire from its stupind lethargy re-
mains to be seen. Japan woke up. Per-
haps the Chinese can be made to see the
rights of the present as we'll as the past.
The dead hand is heavy. But it may be
llIled by the stronger hand of life.

CHARLESTON'S POPULATION

From the Columbia State.
Theories to account for Charleston's loss
of trade have long been popular in that
city. After all is said, however, about rail-
road determinations and domestic disas-
ters, it remains true that the fault is in
Charleston herself. She is the richest city
in the Southeast. She is passed in the race
by younger and weaker and poorer COM
munities simply because she will not help
herself. When her wealthy men grow less
selfish and more patriotic; when they COM
blne to promote large measures for the de-
velopment of the country around them and
the stimulation of the commerce and manu-
fatcures of their city, Charleston will grow
as rapidly as any port on the Southern
coast. But unless they shall begin soon
to perform the civic duties they have so
long neglected the census of 1910 will show
Columbia to be the largest city in South
Carolina.

Population of BIRMINGHAM.

Let not the outside world exult itself over
the fact that Birmingham has but AIS
population; for a day of retribution will
come when the population of Greater Birm-
ingham, locally known as Jefferson County,
is announced. The latter figures will knock
any undue exultation over Birmingham
out. so to speak. Greater Birmingham will
be shown to have 10000 people, which is
more than any other county in the cotton
States will be able to brag of, New Orleans
alone excepted. When the figures for the
county are presented next winter, the Age
Herald will print short list of counties
that will astonish the oldest inhabitant. JEFF
ferson County will head the list, followed
in order by Henrico County, Virginia; Day.
idson County, Tennessee; Fulton County,
Georgia, and Shelby County, Tennessee. The
list will not be long, but 1t will be long
enough to include all riva1s-and there will
not be good second in 1t.
The reported popula ton of Birmingham is
correct. No recount is desired. 1t stands
undisputed. 1t represents the hub only of
the real Birmingham The nominal Birm-
ingham is constructed on the plan of tax
evasion. Adjacent districts, and even fur
naces and mills in the hub itself, that de-
sired to dodge taxation, were omitted. All
tax dodgers that made their dispositions
known were left out, and the city lines en-
close a space that represents nothing COM
pete under the sun.
1t does not matter what the city lines
are so far as population figures are con-
cerned, for we will soon have returns that
cover Greater Birmingham. For health's
sake the valley should be consolidated, so
that one part may not, on account OF a
lack of pure water or sewers, affect other
parts; but so far population is con-
cerned we can afford to await the figures
of next winter Greater Birmingham Will
then be indicated.

ENGLAND's CONFEDERATE BONDS

From the Philadelphia Times.
At the meeting of the British Capitalist
Association, in London the other day. the
secretary reported the possession of SO
100000 of Confederate bonds and $25 00O, 900
of the bonds of the States of Louisiana
Virginia and Mississippi, issued during the
rebellion. On the part of some of the hold
ers there was expressed a hope, based
upon the well-known honesty of the Amer
lean people," that the bonds would be
paid
If those capitalists are so optimistic as
to the value of those pieces of paper as the
dispatches would imply, they form a class
by themselves for nobody else has any
idea that the bonds are worth anything at
all, and the honesty of the American peo-
pie is in no way concerned in the matter.
Assuming that these bonds were purchased
in England during the civil war; and that
something, however little, was paid for
them, they were accepted as security .sr
payment of money borrowed to conduct
war against the United States. Whatever
the amount was, it was advanced upon the
speculative future of the Confederacy. The
Confederacy ceased to exist and the bonds
ceased to have value, and nothing can re-
yive them. Ae
Everything considered, it would be inst
as well for the British capitalists to burn
these shelf-worn bonds and to burn the
books in which an accounting is kept of
them, for, although the relations of this
country and England are vastly improved
in many ways, and an Englishman can
speak or write of an American without a
sheer If he try very hard, the friendship
of the two countries is long way distant
from the place where the Confederacy en-
cravings will be bought back by Ameri-
cans.

NE Only DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Russia and France in China.

The Associated Press is not partisan. It
and only the news, of the day; and when
it sends out reports of Russian and French
barbarities in China the people are wholly
justified in believing they occurred. Err
rors do occur in news gathering as they do
in any other enterprise, but 1t is scarcely
probable that the reports embracing many
details are without foundation.
1t is charged in brief that the Russians
and French, who cooperate everywhere
and on everything, butcher non-eombat-
ants without mercy, shame or even a sense
of civilization, and loot every locality they
control They kill women and children,
and destroy all the property they cannot
appropriate.
These reports SO often repeated and APP
parently confirmed should be investigated,
and if the administration does not inves-
tigate them-if it does not call for report
upon them from General Chaffee then
Congress will be expected to act. Russia
United States in China, and their acts in
that country are the acts of the United
States, unless we protest against them,
and endeavor to put an end to such atroci-
ties and barbarities.
If the administration has committed this
country to indiscriminate massacre, arson
and footing, the fact should be made
known. If Russia and France are guiltless
of the crimes charged, that fact should be
made known. At present we stand charged
accessories at least in brutaities that
would have disgraced the middles ages.
Th cruelties reported exceed those even of
Ancient Rome. The case calls for invest
yaton The truth cannot be hid. General
chaffee knows the extent of Russian and
French atrocities, and his report upon
them is needed. 1t has been stated that
Russian soldiers dragged a decrepit old
man from some bushes in which he had
hidden himself and bayoneted him in the
presence of General Chaffee. To General
Chaffee's credit be 1t added, he declared
the act not one of war, but brutal muir
der No one charges the Americans, Jap
anese, English or Germans with such acts,
but the Russians and French are charged
with crimes that are disgrace to all the
allies in China, unless indeed they are
speedily discountenanced.

BOOKER wAsHINGroN's CAUTION

From the Indianapolis Journal
Booker L. Washington's failure to touch
upon the subject of politics-particularly
the recent action of Democrats in the
South DISTINGUISHING the negroes-in his
address to the Afro-American council yes
terday afternoon is the subject of much
comment, both among men of his race and
people generally, who have been watching
the council. 1t is known that Prof. Wash
ington had devoted a portion of his pre-
pared address to a discussion of the 18th,
18th and 18th amendments to the Constitu-
tlon Of the United States and their VIOLA
ton by white Democrats of the South,
but for some reason he did not see fit to
read that portion of his speech TO the
council yesterday. Several prominent
delegates to the council gave it as their
opinion that the reason Prof Washington
omitted that part of his address was his
fear of precipitating another of the unfor-
tunate controversies such as those which
have occurred at frequent Intervals during
the convention this week. prof Wash
ington heard of these 'squabbles' as soon
as he struck the town." said one delegate,
land he decided at once to cut out that
portion of his speech. He came prepared
to tell his views of the race situation
in the South and his opinion as to the
attitude we should adopt, but feared that
he might become involved in distressing
controversy"

Celebration of Labor Day.

AS reports come in from all parts of the
country it is seen that Labor Day was gen.
orally observed in the cities of the land.
Coming, as it does, midway between
Fourth of July and Thanksgiving Day.
and representing as 1t does, a vast new
force its place in the list of holidays is
secure. 1t promises to be observed more
fully each year. New features are added
to it each year, and it will by and by
crystalline into a great national holiday.
Its official recognition is comparatively
recent It's first official recognition was in
Oregon in 1887. On February p of that
year law was passed in that State maxi
Ing the first Monday of September legal
holiday in honor of labor. New Jersey sec

Dor Day q day of legal rest and recreation
A recent bulletin of the Department Of
Labor thus sums up the steps that led up
to our modern Labor Day:
mo better method of advancing eiviliza-
ton exists than the share taken in public
fetes by the laboring classes. From the
circus and arena of the ancients, where
slaves and captives were pitted against
wild beasts, the next step was in feudal
times to the lords fetes and celebration,

WINTER TIME
By Robert Louis Stevenson.
Late lies the wintry sun abed,

By Robert Louis Stevenson.
Late lies the wintry sun abed,
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two, and then,
A blood-red orange, set again.
Before the stars have left the skies,
At morning in the dark 1 rise,
And shivering in my nakedness,
By the cold candle battle and dress.
Close by the jolly fire I sit
To warm my frozen bones a bit;
Or with a reindeer sled explore
The colder countries round the door.
When to go out my nurse doth wrap
Me in my comforter and cap;
The cold wind burns my face, and blows
It's frosty pepper in my nose.
Black are my steps on silver sod;
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
And tree and house, and hill and lake.
Are frosted like a wedding cake.

From the Washington Post.
1t is not the wage question or the suf-
frage laws. but nature that has decreed
the ultimate transfer of the cotton manu-
featuring business to the cotton-growing
states. The process may be long, and it
may work many hardships, but 1t IS
bound to go on to completion. That is
one of the great future events that were
not foreseen by the political, moral and
physical forces which extingusihed slav-
cry, and, in so doing, opened up the great
career ON which the South has entered.
Massachusetts bore her part in that pa
triotic work, and she should not make

REFL BOTTOMS OF BACHELORS
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Mans heart was originally put inside his
head, but the two quarreled.
By the time man has been married two
years he has forgotten how to appreciate
married life.
The most of the love a woman has for
her husband isn't for what he Is, but what
she thought he was when she married him.
Most men would look neat with shirt
waists on, but there are probably some
who would always let the tails stick out the
way the women do.
The woman who takes up the new sock
fad ought to be made to marry the man
who wears long stockings and up-and-down
elastics that fasten onto his suspender
buttons.
