1Ef ONLY oaIlY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Relief For Women and Children.

A summary of statutory enactments of the various legislatures of last winter go to show that labor legislation affecting women and children has a steady trend fin the direction of humanity That direc- tion is the one so warmly advocated by the Womans Federation, and it is believed every Northern State will soon adopt smi- lar laws.
 A review of the acts of last winter will best explain the situation. In New York no minor under IS can now be employed in a factory, and no woman can be employed before o'clock in the morning and after o'clock at night. In Nebraska females can not be employed longer than ten hours a day. In Rhode Island ten hours is made the limit of a days work by women and by children under 16 years of age. In Michi- gan children cannot be employed at night In Wisconsin persons under IS can work but eight hours day in cigar factories, and no person under 16 can be employed longer than ten hours in any factory, and such persons cannot be employed at night. Children under IA cannot be employed at all. In Indiana no person under 16 and no female under IS can work more than ten hours a day. No children under IA can be employed no woman can be employed at night, and no minor can be employed to clean machinery while in motion.
 The health and moral surroundings of the young and weak are carefully safeguarded in such legislation. and the Woman's Fed eration is doing a wonderful and blessed work in this direction. But there are forty five States in the Union. and much work remains to be accomplished. Instead of seeking the suffrage the women of the fed eration are striving to secure helpful and humane legislation, and their success in the past is a guarantee of still greater suc- cess in the future.

SAM JONES ON TRUSTS

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 Rev. Sam. P. Jones has written an ar ticle in which he defends the trusts He contends that all the necessaries of life are made cheaper by reason of trust regu- lation, and cites particularly such com modities as sugar and ordinary lamp oil He fails to reason deeper, howeSer, than to cite the fact that sugar was once double the present price and that oil was worth 40 cents a gallon.
 MT. Jones is undoubtedly acting in the capacity of a special pleader. It is un- reasonable that he should entertain such opinions unless self-interest was the mo- tive. Honest trust magnates admit that their organizations are formed to give them control of the market, and to permit them to raise prices when they desire, but along comes MT. Jones with an argu- ment that trusts are good for the people.
 The suggestion that MT. Jones favors trust methods for a consideration appears to be fully justifable. He was undoubt- edly paid for his plea in behalf of the trusts, and is trying to add to that sum by endeavor:ng to secure gratis insertions of his opinions in the country newspapers.

AGES OF CANDIDATES

fTOm lue 4NSW I Oi h sun.
 Although William J. Bryan was in 1896 the youngest man ever nominated for the Presidency, the Democratic party has had several candidates of about his present age. General Mcclellan was only 3S when he was nominated for the Presidency against Lin coin in 1894. Four years earlier John c. Breckinridge, the candidate of the South ern Democrats, was only 39. Aaron Burr was only 40 when in 1796 he received thirty electoral votes, and only 45 when he came so near being elected by the House in Feb ruary, 1901. No other Democratic candi- date was under 47, the age of Stephen A. Douglas in 1860 and of Cleveland in 1884 All the other Democratic candidates were past 50 when nominated, save Pierce, who was AS in 1852, and Polk, who was within few days of his forty-ninth birthday at the election of 1S44. Tilden, who was 62 in 1876, dates. Hugh l.. White, candidate of a Democratic faction in 1886, was 63.
 The nominees of the Federalists the Wings and the Republicans have usually been above 45 though Fremont was only 43 in 1856. Clay was 47 when he was candi- date in the interesting election of 1924 That was one year more than Grants age at the time of his first nomination. Gar field was 49 when he received the RepubIi- can nomination in 1SS0 Rufus King, who received thirty-four electoral votes against Monroe in 1916, was 61 years old; William Henry Harrison was 63 in 1856 when he first became candidate for the Presidency and 61 when elected. Lincoln was 51 at his first nominations Blaine was 54 when Cleveland defeated him, and Benjamin Harrison was 55 when nominated Mckinley was 5s at his first nomination and Hayes was 54 in 1876

PRESIDENT DIAZ AN ATHLETE

A sentence recently imposed by President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico, on the publisher of paper in that country says the Cleve- land Plain Dealer, recalls an incident illus trating a pleasing characteristic of the Mexican ruler. The publisher in question appear in his paper depicting the President of the Republic as a monkey climbing a rope. The incident which inspired the cartoonist of the anti-Administration news paper occurred during the visit of the Chi cago Day Invitation Committee last Sep tember. During their journeyings around the Mexican capital President Diaz and members of his Cabinet one day drove wish the Chicago delegation to the Nat.ccal Mill itary Academy, the West Point of ouf sis ter Republic. The party entered large gymnasium, where number of erhLryo captain-generals were exercising Tho Chi- cagoans applauded the feat of an, athletic young cadet, who climbed hand-over1hand to the top of a long rope.
 The dignified President of the Republic suddenly stepped aside, and, taking off his coat and silk hat, handed them to aA esS. He then ran briskly to the perpendicular rope, and. to the surprise of all, started up hand-over-hand He did not stop until he had climbed twelve or fifteen feet, and then slid quietly to the ground, amid the ap- plause of all in the building. President Diaz is over 60 years of age, and this dis play of youthful agility astonished the Chi cagoans, though the Mexican officials de- clared their ruler had often before given evidence of youthful vigor.

 Very praiseful and generous were the members of the Alabama Press Association and their immediate friends in referring to their brief stay in Birmingham. They de- clared as one man, or, even more pleas ingly, as one fair woman, that they en- joyed to the utmost their sojourn in this city, which was proud to welcome such notable visitors. Especially were they kind in their expressions of appreciation of the Birmingham Press Clubs efforts to please them. There can be no forwardness in stating that much in this place, for with out the generous and cordial assistance and cooperation of citizens generally, the Press Club would have been powerless to provide comfort and entertainment for the visitors. It was most pleasing to the club that the visitors expressed eloquently their enjoyment of the reception at the Volun- teers' armory, Tuesday evening. That af- fair, though hastily arranged was singu- larly happy and successful in the way its promoters hoped it would be. The music was exceptionally good. Miss Norma Scholars singing was beautifully effective; and MT. Walter Drennen and MT. John Calman deserved all the hearty applause they received. The refreshments could not have been better or better served. Under Mrs. Nixon's direction, that feature of the entertainment was perfect. President Rich ard F. Johnston of the Press Club was chief host It need not be said that he
  he was so, and there is no harm in em- phasizing so pleasing a truth.
 
 The first time when any great number of Alabama Press Association members visited Birmingham was in April, 1SS0 going to and returning from Tuscaloosa Birmingham then had something over B. 900 inhabitants. The squares of the city ;,,x @;al, |, Union passenger station were part of a park, recently laid out and but little orna- mented The little park was wet, and in no sense inviting. The Florence Hotel of that day was quite new and the pride of the town. It occupied fifty feet front on Second Avenue of what is now the Flor ence. The Relay House was a frame hotel at the crossing of the Alabama

 Harriet Prescott Spofford. Out upon the four winds blow, Tell the world your story; Thrice in hearts blood dipped before, They called your name Old Glory! Stream, Old Glory, bear your stars High among the seven; Stream a watchjre on the dark. And make sign in heaven! Mighty harvests gild your plains, Mighty rivers bear them, Everywhere you fly you bid All the hungry share them; Blooms the wilderness for you, Plenty follows after, Underneath your shadow go Peace and love and laughter. When from sky to sky you float, Far in wide savannas, Vast horizons lost in light Answer with hosannas. Symbol of unmeasured power Blessed promise sealing, All your hills are hills of God, And all your founts are healing! Still to those the wronged of earth Sanctuary render; For hope and home and heaven they SC Within your sacred splendor! Stream, Old Glory, bear your stars High among the seven; Stream watchfire on the dark, And make sign in heaven!

Sam has been heard since he mysteri- ously disappeared nearly a month ago. Sam has great number of friends who are earnestly concerned as to his where abouts.
 At the Birmingham Union passenger sta- ton yesterday there was young man whose mustachios were even heavier and longer than Hxson's. They were simply enormous. In length they appeared to be twelve or fifteen inches. But they were neither fierce nor black. They were the shade of furnished copper, and hung In great silky waves, attracting attention to a rather handsome face, with open honest eyes, It is inconceivable that any man could have mustachios more enormous The young man was in reality the observed of all observers. He was said to be mem- Der of the Alabama Press Association, but that was denied. He probably edits hotel register.
 Probate Judge Samuel M. Adams of Chil- ton was in Birmingham yesterday. Be- cause of his refusal to accept the Populist nominatio for Governor some of the news papers have referred to Judge Adams as preferring to hold on to his fiat office. That is scarcely fair. Probably nobody but Judge Adams himself knows what his of- flee pays him; but man who is competent to form a reasonably accurate estimate declares that the probate judgeship of Chil- ton does not pay exceeding $,5OO year. Not much fat in that, surely.

 The unanimous reelection of General Ru- fus N. Rhodes to the presidency of the Alabama Press Association is an honor which the editor of the Birmingham News very fully deserves, for General Rhodes has taken earnest interest in the association ever since he came to Birmingham to live, more than thirteen years ago.

her story in straightior manner.
Only once or twice during TIE recital OF
her pitiful story did she hesitate. and
then apparently from an aversion to al

help, stated that Patterson and Harvey,
