 "For persons of international reputations and fame Alabama ranks high up amongst the states,'' said publicist of wide infor- nation and sound judgment, last night. Alabama has John Tyler Morgan, Hannis Taylor, Richmond Pearson Hobson, and Mary Johnston. The world acknowledges MT. Morgan as a great authority on inter- national law and as statesman of com- prehensive abilities. He holds easily the first place amongst Americans in public life today. MT. Taylor is honored wherever history and the philosophy of popular gov ernment are studied or considered. Mr. Hobson's daring at Santiago will be theme for poets a hundred years to come. Miss Johnstons work in fiction will live long after her. The successive London editions of TO Have and To Hold are approaching 200000 copies. This completes Alabama's list of those who have real reputations abroad"

proposed to change the natural level of
any lakes, but to clear out the natural

The room was filled with people who
either favored or opposed the petition.
The hearing was not completed by
noon and was adjourned until three
o'clock.

STRIKES AND PROSPERITY.

1t will be in order now for the Bryanites
to assume that prosperity is not in our
midst because of the numerous strikes that
are in progress. They reason on the basis
that if times were prosperous there would
be no strikes. For the purpose of political
capital of very cheap nature. this may
be good course to take, but it is very
poor logic If there are strikes in the in
dustrial world, if they are one of the fac
tors by which advance is made by labor in
terests, when else would they be made ex-
cept when times are are most prosperous.
One never hears of them, or at least only
to very limited extent, when times are
hard, and business of all kinds are de-
pressed, and thousands of men are out of
employment eager to get anything they
can find to do at whatever may be offered
therefor. But with the prosperity that
abounds it is different. Men everywhere
are employed. 1t is jobs everywhere that
are looking for men, not men for jobs.
Then if ever is labor's opportunity to make
an advance, and history shows that the
progress labor has made has been in pros
porous times, and if a strike is resorted to
then is of course the time for it. And so
the news>ot the day is now more or less
freighted with strikes, 1t is not all for an
advance in wages, except in an indirect
way Many of the differences which re-
suit in strikes, are for less hours, and
strikes are now in progress which have for
basis nine hour day. 1t would be the
heighth of folly to attempt to conduct such
contest in depressed period, and none
know it better than do labor leaders Hence
strikes are not sign that prosperity does
not exist, but rather an indication that it
does exist, and that because of it labor de-
sires to still better improve its condition.
