Settled the Question of Incorpora-
tion at Adamston.
Mr.. Schultz Declared That Dutch
And Beer 60 Together.
Suggestion to Knock Children Down
Bitterly Resented.

At the literary at Adamston Satur-
day night one OF the biggest times in
the history Of the town was experience
ed. Over 400 people attended, being
interested in the question debated.
They were entertained by able
speakers on the question, Resolved,
that Adamston should be Incorporate
cd" The speakers on the affirmative
were G. c. Southern, Rev. ]. w.
Flanagan and G. Schultz. The last
named tried to get some one else to take
his place but the crowd would not
consent to foregoing the pleasure of
hearing Mr.. Schultz, and 1t is well
they did not as he made a speech
which did them good.
The points raised by the affirmative
side were that Incorporation would
give them better streets at less money
than they are now paying and enable
them TO have an independent school
district, to say nothing of police pro-
lection.
The negative speakers were A. E.
Grimm, Henry Schultz and John Fra
zier. Their main objection was that
Incorporation might bring speakeasies.
Mr.. G. Schultz answered this effect
lively by making a statement that
where there was beer there were al
ways Dutch and where were Dutch
there would always be beer. This
seemed to settle the matter in the
minds Of the in lgcs and they gave de-
cisiou to the affirmative. The Judges
were j. l.. Sehon, q. J. Martin and j.
G. Watkins. all disjnterested parties.
Afterd the ebate speeches were
made by several persons, among whom
were William Camp. Cation Biddle, +.
E. Ashburn and w. J. Primm.
Elmer Baxter's suggestion abou
Knocking children down was resented.

shut out the rest of the world from our own markets. The rest of the world will not stand it. We are bring ing these retaliatory tariffs upon our. selves by keeping in force the most grasping and vicious tariff the world has ever known.
 It is difficult to say what the effect of the Chamberlain bolt will be. It is estimated that he will carry with him about fifty-eight members, but at least eighty more alo opportunists, and no one knows what they will do later on. The tory support is, in other words, in a chaotic condition, and the prospects of it's falling to pieces are very good.
 If the liberals had a strong leader they could readily force a dissolution and an appeal to the country. MT. Campbell Zimmerman, the actual and  selected leader, Is not a man of mag netie force, although a man of much worth. Unless Lord Rosebery or John Morley can be prevailed upon to ac- eept the opposition leadership the lib- erals will have to go forward without a magnetic political leader.
 But even as things are an appeal to the people cannot be long delayed. The report on the administration of the war, and the Chamberlain move ment will enter into the coming can. vass, and the chances largely are that the conservatives will be driven out of power. This will not crush MT. Chamberlain. He will continue his campaign of education, and, if we re- tain Dingleyism, he will almost cer- tainly bring the British people to an acceptance of his proposition in the course of the next five years.
 Prime Minister Balfour is endeavor. ing to straddle the fence by advocat ing retaliatory duties on manufactured imports only, thus avoiding the food issue. But he is regarded as a con vert to the Chamberlain idea, and his straddle will not save him from con demnation when the next appeal is taken to the British electorate.

THE GOAT.

From the Baltimore Herald
 One of the first services performed by Secretary Cortelyou's department has that the cultivation of goats would be a very profitable industry in this coun- try. Twenty-Five million dollars worth of goatskins and 1000, 900 worth of goats hair and wool are imported in the course of year. This is quite a respectable showing for an animal which has figured as the butt of ridicule; an animal whose chief value from the point of view of the comic artist seems to be to act as the gar- bage mans assistant.
 Even If the diet of a first class goat cannot be furnished as cheaply as it was supposed to be furnished in the flats of Harlem, there Is no valid reason why the hint that Is given at Washington should not be utilized by progressive American farmers. Goat culture on a business like basis is one of the few industries needed to give the American agriculturist supre- macy in every department of his craft. The goat does not deserve the contempt that has been heaped upon him In the past any more than does the mule, which is now recognized as one of the noblest of our institutions.
 Me hone to see the American goat even- tually become as important an adjunct to properly located farms as the Ameri- can mule or as that proudest of all birds, the American hen.

Musical Art.

"Birmingham's contingent of artists in the musical profession has been largely increased this year. said an old musi- clan.
 'Rienzi Thomas, one of the ablest or ganists and directors in the United States, has just taken up his residence here. William Gussen, violinist of high rank, has settled here within the past week. His performance of the Bach Air on the G. string at Temple Emanuel Monday night was masterful. Clarence Klenk, violinist and violincello player, arrived here last week and will make this his home. He rendered a fine solo at the Church of the Advent last Sunday. In addition to these three artists the orches- tral forces have been multiplied and Birmingham vii have more good music this winter than has yet been heard here by local talent''

The Odd Fellows.

The sovereign grand lodge of the ln- dependent Order of Odd Fellows now in biennial session in Baltimore is one of the most digniied and representative bodies In the United states' remarked an old. fraternal order man. "The grand encampment of Knights Templar repre- sents more wealth, perhaps, but the sov- ereign grand lodge is second to no other national secret body. It governs mem- bership of more than a million.
 "The Odd Fellows originated in England. The first lodge in the United States was organized in Baltimore April 26, 1919, with only five members, I believe. Strange to say, the American Odd Fellows and the English Odd Fellows have no rela- tions with each other. The English body Is styled the Manchester Unity and 1 have wondered why our sovereign grand lodge and our whilom English brethren do not get together

Census of the Philippines.

The census of the Philippines has been compiled, so that the information is given out that there are 6,976,574 people of all sorts in the archipelago. All of this number are to some extent civilized except 650,0O0, who are set down as members of the wild tribes The eight civilized tribes foot up G. 363,000, leaving about 650000 to be apportioned among the numerous but not populous wild tribes. The propor tions are at any rate gratifying.
 The census was largely the work of the Filipinos themselves, the few su. rervising officers only being Ameri- cans. General Sanger overcame many difficulties, and the count he has made will long stand as the best that the case admits of It very effectually disposes of many estimates.

An Appeal to the House.

If we must have a numbered ballot in the primary-thus rendering an ab- solute free ballot impossible-let us at feast have ballot freed from voters who are not voters, and the only way in which the disqualified can surely be shut out is by putting before the off, cers of the primary in each precinct a list of the qualified electors, official and up to date. Unless the legisla- ture provides for such lists there can not be honest primaries, especially in the large towns in the state Unless the probate judge be required to cer- tify to the primary officers who can lawfully vote, there will be no safe guard, no sure guide against dishonest voting
 The cost of such lists Is a mere bagatelle. The primary is the only real polling of the voters while politl- cal affairs remain in their present condition in this state, and no effort should be spared to secure honest bal lots and honest returns. Expense in connection with a primary should not be considered if it will lead to better results.
 The senate bill does not provide for official certified lists of qualified elect ors in each precinct, and in this re- spect 1t is sadly deficient The Age Herald appeals to the house to remedy this deficiency. Why the senate failed to do it is beyond comprehension, but | it did, and the hope now is that the | house which acts with rare independ- ence and courage will say that no primary officer shall have any excuse for admitting to the ballot the un- qualified.
 This matter touches the public will at its most sensitive point, and unless the probate judge of county be re- quired by law to furnish certified lists of qualified electors, no one will feel that a primary is an honest expression of the will of the people. It Is re- gretable that there must be a marked ballot in the primary, but marked ballot will be accepted if every pos sible assurance goes with it that the primary will be confined to qualified electors.

[ Great Reform Measures.
has be

uniformity in text books was Ca. Sd over the head of an opposing chairman of 6 committee on educa- ton, and the elective railroad com mission bill encountered like opposi- tion, so it has happened that today the bank examination bill will come up with the chairman of the banking and insurance committee dead against it.. The three measures mentioned will stand as the chief reform measures of the present legislature, and in each case, strange to say, there was an unfriendly chairman who stood ready to pigeon-hole the bill This was not permitted, because the present legis. lature Is one that does it's own think ing. Each member of it thinks for himself, and the third house" is not a material factor.
 Beyond doubt the house will cap it's glorious record by the passage of a comprehensive primary bill and an equally comprehensive bank examina- ton bill. The four bils-two of the first session and two of the adjourned session-will establish the position of the legislature in the political history of the state. All four are great bills, touching every citizen and interest in the state. No other legislature has a similar record, and no other legisla ture in the post-bellum period would have passed any one of the four bills, except possibly the primary bill, which is so generally demanded that no leg islature would have rejected it. But certainly no previous legislature would have passed the uniform textbook law, the elective railroad commission measure or the bank examination bill all eminently desirable reforms, and yet every one of them encountered the sharpest and strongest opposition. The more credit is due on that ac. count to the present legislature, which is not afraid of the devil and Tom Walker.
