LONDON PRESS ooMMENT
Think Wynham's Bill an Honest Ef
 fort, at Least

fort, at Least
 London, March 2s.-This mornings pa- pers in editorial comments on yesterday g proceedings in the House of Commons universally compliment Mir. Wyndham but hesitate to express definite opinion on such a complex measure without hav- ing fuller acquaintance with 1t. on the ground that It's success depends wholly on the nature and working of the com piicated financial details. All the news papers agree. however. that although the bill will place a burden on the British tax-pawer it will be well worth the money if the objects are attained.
 The Times mye: If the Irish land lords and tenants consider that Mir. wyndham's plan satisfies to reasonable extent the expectations that were aroused e few months ago, we do not believe that the people of the United Kingdom will show a niggardly spirit in giving the financial aid needed to forward an honest and earnest attempt to remove a grave difficulty in the path of imperial policy"
 Among a host of guarded opinions the feeling thus expressed by The Times Is prominent in the comment sof all the papers.
 The Standard remarks on the extraordi- nary fact that the Chief Secretary for Ireland in a unionist cabinet in introduc- ing the land bill should receive such uni versal and convincing token of good will.
 The Daily Telegraph believes that the bargain will be an excellent one, which the country will receive with sense of relief

TO THE CLUB WOMEN


 The offer by the General Board of Edu- cation to duplicate all scholarships given by Alabama women Cup to the amount of sl,O0O) is most generally known. The scholarship work of the Girls Industrial School was begun by the club women of Alabama, and it should be the duty and pride of the club women to continue to lead this work. We have until May to raise this amount. and each club woman in the State should feel 1t incumbent upon her to be responsible for $1 towards the $1,000. Such is the message of this appeal; our hands are to the blow and we must not fail. Such an opportunity to benefit the poor white girls of our State has not been within our reach be- fore, and as we study the possibilities 1t seems as if 'Earth's crammed with heav- en, and every common bush afre with God" To know that our women are the means of educating twenty girls. to feel that through our efforts twenty homes are saved, twenty lives prepared for ser vice and for beauty. surely the S1 will come back to us twenty thousand times in blessings. May this be the beginning to make ignorance in our State impossi- ble. to make motherhood higher and mo- bier. and to make our country great for ever. Mrs. Jas. L. McConaughy,
 Chairman Free Scholarship Committee. Montevallo, Ala.
 I would like to add to Mrs. McCon- aughy's appeal to club women, reiter- alton of what has been said before-that these scholarships are only loans to the girls who use them and will be repaid to us to be used over and over again, so that not twenty girls but an incalcuiaole number will be educated by them.
 There Is here a chance which will not return. There is a time limit to this of- fer of the General Education Board. One dollar from each woman in the Fedora ton will more than pay this sum.
 This Is our time to help Montevallo. Let us drop everything else and devote ourselves to Montevallo until the first of May. It is we'll to take up all our causes in this way. but we have no prize offered like this one. We are only offered du- plication of our attainments in this one cause. Mrs. c. r. orr.
 President Alabama Federation Women's Clubs.

This is an age when theories have iit- tie or no weight on the avernge mind. but actual demonstration 1s demanded. The busy people of today have nsithar time nor inclination to speculate. and turn with distrust from everything that does not plainly bear the stamp of fact.
 The reason Peruna has gained such. universal hold of the coalfidenca of tho people as a catarr:l cure is because aA statements concerning it are aec9xn- panied by facts.

FEELING OF SUSPICION.
Realized That Cuban Treaty Has
 Not Been Damaged, However.

Havana, March s5--Although there is considerable complaint on the part of Cubens that the United States Senate did not give the reciprocity treaty a fair deal, the publication of the text of the amendment has shown them that the treaty Is not materially damaged from a Cutan standpoint, except through the delay and uncertainty entaiied by the action at Washington.
 The present feeling of suspicion is due principally to the lack of assurances that the treaty cannot be amended in the United States Hous of Representatives, and that President Roosevelt will cause the special session prior to the regular meeting of Congress. The President of all manufacturing and commercial asso~ ciations today received list of inqui- ries from the Senate Committee on For eign Relations with regard to the effect of the amendments. It Is requested that the replies be sent in by tomorrow. The report on the treaty will be completed by Friday.
