HIah Beef.

1.-The market men are not blaming the
trust for raising the price of beef" said
a vender of meat last night. although
our business is hurt by the high prices
The advance falls very heavily on u.s.
We are paying a hundred per cent more
for beef than we did this time last year.
but are not getting anything like hun

quality of beef that pay any advance

due to the scarcity of good cattle and the
increasing demand for fresh meat.
1.-THE Hon. James Wilson. Secretary of
Agriculture, himself a Western farmer
and a fair-minded man, gives out this
statement: I do claim to know someth-

Others may talk about the beef com-

the raise in the price of beef is very east

a short corn crop last year, and to a

EXPENSES in Primaries,

The Selma Journal is opposed to a
State primary, and in the course Of
fits opposition 1t recently said:
Editor Charlie Greer OF the Marion
Standard, while in the Journal office yes
terday suggested that the Alabama Press
Association would perhaps have to make
an agreement for announcement charges
to candidates if state primary was inau-
gurated and that If only five dollars would
be charged by each paper of the state it
would not cost the candidates but about
5000 to announce a small sum compared
with the great and glorious honor of be-
ing an officer of the state Of Alabama
with a salary approximately twice that
amount. OF course the other expenses to
the candidates such as railroad fare. hotel
and livery bills, to say nothing of treat
or two for the boys, would be a mere
bagatelle."
This idea has been enlarged and
dwelt upon by State committeeman
and others until, among themselves.
they have come to think that direct
action is but conspiracy to fill State
Offices with plutocrats only. Ideas of
this sort grow readily and naturally,
for they are but creatures Of vivid
imaginations. They not only see rich
men monopolizing the offices, but
they see the editors rolling In wealth
through the announcements of aspir-
ants. 1t is evident they fear the
money that has heretofore gone to
middlemen and wirepullers may go
to the county newspaper. AS a mat
ter of fact the expenses of candidates
are not increased in primaries-at
least, they have not been in South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi or Ar
kansas. No complaint on that score
has ever arisen in any one of these
States, and we will thank any one to
tell us why a State primary In Ala
bama would operate to create high
expenses when 1t does not so operate
in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississip.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE
a Beautiful Sunday.

Yesterday was voted the most beautliui
and spring-like day of the month In the
forenoon the streets were crowded with
church-goers and in the afternoon with
men, women and children bent on pleasure
outings. The suburban trolley cars were
taxed to their full capacity and 1t was es-
timated that the Birmingham Railway
Light and Power Company collected forty
thousand nickels. Some gnesses placed
the amount even higher.
Hundreds of pedestrians found their
way to the top of Red Mountain and
reveled there In a charming prospect.
Lovely Shades valley was never more
peaceful. One glance alone in that direc-
ton would have repaid the mountain
climber for any fatigue involved in reach
ing the heights.

PLAY BALL.

From the Denver Post.
''Play ball." The old cry echoes DER
the peaceful vale of Valley creek, and
from the bleachers comes roar as rows
of rooters spring a leak! The batter
grasps the willow club, the pitcher strikes
an attitude, the catcher gives his hands
a rub, the umpire STANDS with keen eyes
glued upon the play; the bali has gone,
and once again the seasons on!
Way up the Geographic pole the eager
small boy perches high, and in the fence
each knotty hole-and they are many
frames an eye. The score-card merchants
voice rings out the voice through all the
winter dumb, the peanut vendors loudly
shout, the kid proclaims his chewing gum
and that same cushion man is there to
save our pantalettes from wear.
The knocker with his noisy knock, the
kicker with his mulish kick the talker
with his bally talk upon the seats as flies
are thick. The ladies in their smart at
tire. enthusiasm In their eyes, arc there
in bevies to admire and laud the players
to the skies. and spank their dainty hands
when one of handsome figure makes a
run.
The old excuses now are fed to bosses
from employees lip; The grandma on her
dying bed, the wife at home down with
la grippe. That dying grandma will be
spied beside her grandson sitting there
the sick wife by her husbands side, and
how those frauds will blush and stare to
catch their old employers eyes lit up with
half-amused surprise,
The game is on, the seasons here, the
stricken ball cuts through the air, the
batters fan the atmosphere, the runners
round the bases tear, the umpire calls
the strikes and balls, puts runners out
when they are in, nor needs the rooters'
angry squalls that they will kill him sure
as sin! The seasons here, the same old
muss, and on the seats the same old us.

LONG pIsAPPRovEs PLANS.
Thinks Building Ships In Government
Yards Would Be a Bad Idea.

Washington. April 2o.-Secretary Long
was before the House committee on
naval affairs yesterday and dis
cussed the building of new ships and
other items of naval expenditure. The
Secretary favored appropriation for
three battleships, two armored cruis-
ers and several smaller ships this
year.
Mr.. Long renewed his disapproval
of the building of warships in govern
ment yards on the ground that the
cost would be about 20 per cent
greater and that 1t would have a
tendency to build up greater political
organizations at the navy yards.

SONG OF THE STARS.

By William Cullen Bryant.
When the radiant morn of creation broke,
And the world in the smile of God awoke.
And the empty realms of darkness and
death,
And the orbs of beauty and spheres of
flame,
From the void abyss by myriads came,
In the JOY of youth as they darted away,
Through the widening wastes of space
to play
Their silver voices In chorus rang,
And this was the song the bright ones
Away! Away! through the wide, wide
sky,
The fair blue fields that before us lie;
Each sun with the worlds that round US
roll,
With her isles of green, and her clouds
of white,
And her waters that lie like fluid light.
For the source of glory uncoyers his
face,
And the brightness oerfiows unbounded
space;
And we drink as we 60, the luminous
tides
In our ruddy air. and our blooming sides;
Lo. yonder the living splendors play!
Away. on our joyous paths. away!
'Looki through our giittering ranks afar,
AS in infinite azure. star after star
May brighten and bloom as they swiftly
pass.
The verdure runs DER each rolling massl
The path of the gentle winds is seen.
And the small waves dance, and the
young woods lean.
And see where the brighter day beams
fair,
How the rainbows hang in the sunny
shower.
And the morn and the eve, with their
pomp of hues
Shifts DER the bright planets ana sneo
their dews.
And 'twixt them both, DER the teeming
ground,
with her shadowy cone. the night goes
round.
AWAY! Awayl in our blossoming towers.
In the soft air wrapping these spheres Oh
ours, ,
In the seas and fountains that shine with
morn.
See love Is brooding. and life Is born,
And breathing myriads are DreaAhs
from night,
To rejoice like us, in motion and light"
Glide on in your beauty. ys youthful
So weave the dance that measures the
years.
Glide on in the glory and gladness sent

The boundiess visible smile of Him.

THE PRESIDENT ovERRULED.

From the Saturday Evening Post
When Miss Alice Roosevelt was about
to make her debut in Washington So
ciety, it was found by correspondents
seeking her photograph that the charm
ing young girl had none to bestow, her
latest likeness dating back to her
eleventh year. In this she shared the
reticence of Mrs. Roosevelt who for
years steadfastly refused to have her
picture published. Mr.. Roosevelt, when
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy, was
asked to furnish his wife's photograph
IF 1 should" he replied, Mrs. Roose-
welt would consider my act just ground
for divorce" Later In his career he con-
WINGED her that the public had popular
rights in the matter and she compiled
with the demand. But Miss Roosevelt
kept away from the photographer.
When, however, the Presidents daugh-
ter began to receive national and even in
ternatIonal attention, and all of the most
gracious character, publishers eager for
her photograph were not to be denied.
Snap shot methods, within wreclSing dis
tance of strenuous objection, were not to
be dared, but an alert artist found oppor-
tunity to make hurried sketch. A copy
of this, with due compliments, regards
and apologies, was submitted to the Pres
ident, together with an intimation that
though the outline failed to do justice
to his daughter, it would be reproduced
unless he should consent to furnish her
photograph.
Miss Alice was summoned to the family
council. why" she exclaimed, that hor-
rid artist has sketched hat several
years out Of date!"
But. Alice" came the protest, 'fs not

Perhaps" she replied; but papa, you
know you never compelled me to wear an

us it really so Important" pleaded the
President.
II should think, papa" responded Miss
Roosevelt naively, that you would be the
last to question the utility of the proper
lat in ones career"
ed merriment. Within a few minutes the
carriage had been ordered and In 1t Miss
Roosevelt was whirled away to the studio
of fashionable photographer.
Since then all America has admired her
published pictures.

Or. Curry Sails,

DR.. J. L. NJ. Curry, at one time presi-
dent of Howard College. but for several
years past the general agent of the Pea
body education fund, sailed Saturday on
the steamer Statendam, on his way to
Madrid. He goes abroad as special envoy
to Spains young King, who becomes of
age some time next month. He was min
lister to Spain, from 1856 to 1859. He was
Democrat then, of course, and he is a
Democrat still, but President Roosevelt
waived politics and selected him for this
mission for sentimental reasons. King AL
fonso was born while DR.. Curry was serv-
ing as minister.
II noticed that one of the New York
dailies of Saturday, In giving a sketch of
Curry refers to him as Rev." re-
marked an old friend of the distinguished
preacher, educator and statesman, last
night. WELL the DR.. is, or used to be,
Rev.. but he dislikes to be addressed
as such. Even when he filled pulpits fire.
quently he would ask the papers not to
style him Rev Why, do not know. He
is certainly D. D., and whoever heard
of a d. D, who was not addressed as the
Rev. So and So?"

About Range Cattle.

Said a Texan cattle man; Business
methods of the range cattle men are now
In a state of evolution that will result
utim ately in an all-year season instead
of the summer and fall season, as here
tofore. This is evidenced by the grow
ing frequency of shipments to the Chi
ago market of western cattle direct from
the ranges of the northwest. Chicago has
received more of this class of live stock
during the last three months than in any
similar period.
Several years ago this movement be-
gan in Texas. when a number of cat
tie men began to feed SO as to have
something for market during the winter
and spring months. The Texas cattle
men looked further for feed than his un-
moved pasture; he began to plant for
age crops, which were harvested to be
fed in connection with more concentrated
foods. The idea was primarily, to sys-
TEN atize the work so as to ship to mar
ket at any time instead of limiting the
shipments to the months when cattle
were fattened exclusively upon green
pasturage.
while the initiative was taken by the
Texas cattle men, the movement has
spread rapidly to the western and north
western ranges, where some corn and
great quantity of hay and other rough
age is grown and harvested The native
grasses of Montana and the Dakotas
made an ideal cured hay that is conced-
ed by some feeders to contain more nutri-
tive properties even than the clover hay
of thee orn belt, The northwestern range
country Is one of unestimated richness,
and with the resources fully developed
the cattle man of that section will be-
come an important factor in the beef
market every month in the year."
