WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IA, 1908.
A CHANGE SUGGESTED.

At fine risk of our advise not being appreciated, or taken in the spirit in which 1t is given, we implore our brethren of the press to place the names of their towns as part of the papers heading. so that, fin copying from them the name of the paper will show the place of puolica- lion. Let us give a few examples: If we copy an item and credit 1t to The Pine Belt News or The Standard Gauge nobody outside the State will know that the papers are published in Brewton. If we credit an article to The Canebrake Herald, who knows that Uniontown is meant? IT we give credit to The Ala bama Courier. published at Athens. an outsider doesn't know what part of the State the paper is published in.
 These are only a few examples, but there are several others. Often the items or articles copied in The Advertiser are of great local interest, and injustice is done if only the name of the paper is given, but if we must write and print the name of the town in addition to the name of the paper 1t adds what we really consider an unnecessary amount of labor. If our weekly contemporaries. especially, will take notice of the metropolitan papers. or papers of any of the cities, they will SC that the name of the city begins the title of the paper in all cases.
 VIII not the brethren reflect on this sug- gestion. which is intended to prevent giving misleading or incomplete credit for articles copied from their columns?

.s The Portland Oregonian. speaking of the probable introduction of service pen sion bill, says: S.
 It would be easy to frame a strong argument against such a measure, but ft will be difficult to prevent its enactment, for not only Congress, but public opinion, has become so demoralized by the indis- crfminate pension legislation of the past that this demand is likely to be but feebly resisted. There will be seventy-seVen in Congress this winter who fought in the Civil War. Forty-seven fought on the Union side and thirty served in the Confederate army. In the Senate there are thirteen Union soldiers and thirteen ex-Confederates In the House there are thirty-four Union veterans and seventeen ex-Confederates The Union soldiers will most of them probably support service pension bill, and the Confederates viii most. of them vote for 1t, because the Mexican War service pension bill was enacted largely for the benefit of ex-Con- federates who were shut out from the benefits of the Civil War pension legisla- ton.
 The Oregonian, is correct about both Congress and the people being demoraltz- ed on the pension question. for pension everybody is getting to be the slogan nowadays. The Northern members will not vote against any kind of pension leg islation because they. fear the. influence of the G. A. R., and Southern members

The offshoots of Concord.

The summer school of philosophy which Emerson. Alcott and their associates founded in Aicott's backyard" quarter of a century ago, has left offshoots which still hurish. says writer in Harper's Weekly for October 10. One is at Glen Moore. in the Adirondacks. and here dur ing the summer such men as Dr. Wm. James anu Felix Adler lecture on phil osophical and socialistic topics of the day
 The other school. Greenacre. on the coast of Maine, is a sort of conference of re- ligions; and here Buddhist yogis, Persian prophets. rabbis and priests lecture on their various faiths. 4 picturesque fea- ture of the year at Greenacre Is the Budd- hist flower festival, given in August un- CT the full moon when 1t is believed the spirits are nearest the earth. At night, under an enormous pine tree, an altar is raised. covered with white flowers and decorated with thirty-seven candles. It was strange sight this year to see the white robed pilgrims. about one hundred in number. each bearing lighted candle, sitting motionless for an hour or more around the motionless yogis. Slowly the full moon rose, making gaunt shadows from the pine tree waver over the ground. Merely a spectacular scene 1t was un- surpassed"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-10-14

The Philadelphia Enquirer, 1t occurs to us. is over-zealous in its President-pro- tecting designs when 1t says:
 The coming Congress should take up the measure that fell at the last ses- ment for attempts, although unsuccessful, upon the life of the President. Let there be no more hesitation on that score. What is more, the measure should be the White House armed and try to force their way in ought to be dealt with severely under special law. Such precau- Hns are senSsr se life esy o sSt secure against the cunning of a lunatic with a murderous motive, but they will go long way in securing safety"
 We cannot foresee what the coming Congress may or will do. but if it enacts such a law as The Enquirer suggests it will go entirely beyond the limit of crim- inal legislation in this county so far. To punish man with death for attempting the life of another. whether it be a Presi- dent or a private individual. is putting a dangerous power into the form of law, The death by violence of a President is to be depfored, but there's no need to go to the other extreme, and set him up on a special pinnacle by himself.
 As another example of what may well be called snobbery we find The New York Tribune saying: That we should con- dnue to shut our eyes to the folly of hold ing the Presidents life as cheap as that of the cheapest and least consequential of his fellow-citizens does us no credit" To this The Pittsburg (Pa.) Post replies:
 On the contrary. that fact does us in- finite credit. His life is held as precious as that of the huinblest citizen, for whom the fleets of the country are sent to foreign ports and whom this Republic is bound to protect. Whose lives are in- consequential? What new religion is this, or Is it merely tuft hunting of the most nauseating kind? How precious may lives of others than Presidents become in emergencies? Jim Bludsoe ''held the noz- gle agin the bank until the last galoot was ashore Before that Jim probably was inconseQuential Secretary Hay once avowed that he would take his chances with Little Breeches'' rather than with some others loafing around the throne. It was not necessary for The Tribune to trickle out this Mrs. Stuy- | vesant Fish talk of inconsequental lives l when alluding to the earnest efforts of people to devise means of guarding Presi- dents.

NOT QUITE so FAST.

The Birmingham News of Monday ngures out that the population of Jef- ferson County has doubled in two years. It bases thi .sclaim upon the mistaken idea that the school census for 1sos-o4 shows an increase over that for 1901-O2 or 6S per cent. By an oversight these figures of in- crease were published in The Advertiser of last Sunday and taking them to be correct The News proceeded to indite a specification article. The school census for Jefferson County including all cities and towns in 190l-O2 was A.SO9 and for 1ets-o4 was 4s.7a. This shows the very substantial and gratifying increase of 20.S1 per cent or ten per cent per year. At that rate Jefferson's population would be
 double in 1910 what 1t was in 1900.

The Real Prosperity.

New York World. G4 Prof. Johnson. the new Dean of the msrce. was doubtlsss justified when he told his students that the depression in Wall Str eet has little relation to the real industry of the country. says Prof. John con;
 If we could know all the facts I do not believe that we should pronounce the present slump of prices matter or des- peration or regret. I imagine we should declare 1t the outcome of a battle between dustry has got triumphant possession of the field. bringing under its banner many of the forces which formerly had been looking for gain in Wall Street. If this are content with the profits they earn by the sweat of their brow and the men who have paid for the stocke and bonds which they have in their strong boxes. can look msg eoms i the stock Sa Gc for thsr earnings. and their incomes will not be
 Striking confirmation of Prof. Johnson's yiew Is furnished by an analysis of the nished by Dun < Co Trading failures have declined from last years corre- spending period from ell1 to s,7ei. and the total liabilities of sto,27Ss1 are half q 1909. Manufacturing failures. more close ly involved in trust promotion and the manipulation of "industrials." show de- crease in number but an increase or 90 per cent in liabilities: Brokers. agents. in number, but the striking increase of over 60 per cent in liabilities, due almost wholly to exchange failures like that of Talbot J. Taylor 6 Co. The most re- markable comparison Is in banks and trust companies, where liabilities of fall ure have been only $s.721.s .sll, against s2s,- 027,1aS last year.
 These comparisons conclusively show that the real prosperity of the country shouting and the tumult' that rises un- der Trinity spire.

After one girl had listlessly tried to return the tennis ball with her racquet she remarked to her companion, I'm glad May l9ft. !" ''So am IT. was the response. She's simply awful.

 Probably. But she tried to make me think she had 1t made for her."

 Where did you buy 1t, Annie?''
 "Well, I-I-er-I got the cloth at -, and mother made it up for me-

Alabama at St. Louis.
Birmingham Ledger.

oHuhlHSuau ASuScTs
 There is not to be State exhibit from Alabama at the St. Louis Exposition. The Legislature did not see it's way clear to give an adequate appropriation and would not give 8 small one There should be an exhibit and a good one. It can be made fin one of the buildings where floor space will be gladly awarded
 Alabama can make a mineral. agrlcul tural and timber display that will attract attention. It will have to be done by in- dividual or corporation efforts, and 1t must be done quickly. Several men and clubs are at work trsing to arouse public interest, and if even a small exhibit is made it should be put under way as quickly as possible. For even small ex- hibit must be perfect of its kind Ala bama must not be made ridiculous and whatever Is done must be well done. Those who can aid this work ought to de- eide quickly and do what they can do and have the work presented there in an ar. tiStic manner.

THE FREE PEW MOVEMENT.
It Is Making Progress in all Parts
 of the Country.

U1 tA0 NuuutIy.
 Boston Advertiser.
 The rented pew is becoming an anom- ally in the Episcopal Church. At least twenty-five years ago the rented pew was not only one of the main sources of rev. enue to church, but was also one of the cherished institutions in drawing the line between the orthodox churchman seated and the dissenter unseated. The clergy man or layman who advocated free seats was regarded with suspicion and in the only to the older Episcopal churches. but to the Congregational. Unitarian and oth- CT denominations as well.
 It is hard to say at this date where the tree pew movement began, but it has left the city of Boston, for instance, 1t IS only the extremely old Episcopal churches, whose history is part of the history Of Boston. which retains the rented pew. and in these few exceptions nearly as leries as there are rented seats. The gen. eral idea of the times is that the preach ing of the gospel should be absolutely without restrictions to all who may Ns- that churches are in that position rhere they are glad to get congregations at all, has been one of the main factors n the change. But the change has come even in very prosperous churches.
 At the present time the only cs1tF u Episcopal churches in this city which have rented pews are Trinity and Elm manuel In Trinity. 400 free seats are ai- ways available in the galleries ani in Emmanuel Church the galleries are al- ways thrown open. But even in these churches, when there are vacant seas in an unoccupied pew, church ushers always assign strangers to them, so that now practically every vacant seat is free. In St. Johns and in St. James's, Roxbury, two of the oldest Episcopal churches, the rented pew survives. In St. Paups the pews are owned. In the Church of the Advent, in St. Stephens. and in fact, all the other churches, the seats are as free as in the Catholic or in any other Pr ):es- tant churches. All churches of what5o- ever denomination are glad at this day to get congregations, and the pew system naturally givos way before this.

They Come Figh.

bOSIOn GIODe.
 It is estimated that $50,00O.000 is invest ed in the pleasure craft of the land. In the olden days, when the merchant prlnce was not ashamed to tend jib sheets or take brace at the hRlyards, 1t did not cost so much. But now the gilt-edged yachtsman is obliged to. have a steam yacht. and for such there are $40, ,OOO, ,OOO invested in this country. It would be an easy matter to mention twenty-five Amer ican steam yachts whose aggregate value conceived that he was gold-lineu h4s wilted when he tried to support yacht. One rich gentleman said recently that he reckoned on a cost of $1 900 a day as long as his yacht was in commission, and ali1 other claimed to have spent S150OO0 for the maintenance of his 270-foot yacht last year. Is 1t any wonder that only syndi- cates care to tackle the problem of an international cup defendQs, except per- haps such men as have Worldwide grip on incomes of the peopie?'

Color Line in Europe.

CIeVeIdnd FIdfn Dealer.
 Can 1t be that Europe is beginning to draw the color line? Whatever disadvan- tages the American negro may have la bored under at home, he has hitherto had no reason to complain of his treatment abroad. Signs of a change have been not ed of late. Only a week or two ago an American negro was refused accommoda- tion at a London public house and on talk Ing his grievances Into Court was told in efect that 1t was too bad. but couldn't be helped. Now similar complaint comes from Berlin. The victims are at Q loss to understand the reason, for they assert that they have given no cause for what would appear to be a species of persecution solely on account of color,

The Hartford Courant reaches away down into Arkansas and drags forth poet who can very well get into the Coogler class. The specimen given by The courant is about the worst ever, and we are going to infiict two stanzas on an unoaIendihg public:
 The earth rotates around the sun,
 It Is always on It's way,
 It makes one revolution
 In what we call day.
 It has another motion,
 It is always on the run,
 1t takes it just one year
 10 60 around the sun." Alter that, North Carolina and Virginia osn take their brsg verse builders out hahlna the barn.

Loan Sharks.

NeshviIIe Banner. -,
 The loan sharks who take advantage of poverty and ignorance to lend money at outrageous interest, and who then, under erty of their victims are not confined to Nashville. They do business in all cities. where they are not prevented by rigid suppression.
 Undoubtedly this practice is one which should be vigorously suppressed. In many cases of such imposture and extortion the interest charged in a very short time-in some cases within a few months-exceeds the principal In many instances the money-lender gets all the money the poor victim can secure. in the vain effort to save household goods or other small prop erty on which the lender holds the lien or mortgage. and the borrower or debtor loses everything.
