"BITTE2S" AS A BEVERAGE.

From Harper's Weekly
Edward Box, in a page of the Nav
number of his periodical addresses him
self to array the Women's Christian
Temperance union against the patent
medicine industry. He prints a list of
thirty-six kinds of Differs" and other IA
miliar patent remedies with the well
known official report of the analyst of
the state of Massachusetts as to the per-
centage of alcohol each mixture contains.
The percentages range from II to AIS,
the average being about 2S.
These patent medicines, which are en-
ormously advertised and which are con-
sumed in the vast quantities by the puh.
lie, are swallowed without scruple nv
great numbers of persons who are either
outspoken foes of rum or are particu-
larry wary in their use of It, They are,
as rule, unaware that .hey are using
compounds some of which contain more
alcohol than ordinary whisky does. and
all of which contain vastly more alcohol
than exists in beer Mr.. Box feels that
the w. c. L. U. is neglecting a field OF
great promise in not opening campaign
against these deceptive beverages, which
warm the insides Of temperance folk who
don't know what they are drinking.

Ins and Cuts Auree.

When nosej were counted in the
republican state convention it was
found that there were but enough
active political and convention repub-
licans to fill the postoffices and other
federal offices, and so a treaty of
peace was concluded, and peace reigns
in the G. o. p. of Alabama on the
basis that every one in the party is
to have a piece of political plumber.
The fundamental rule of Alabama
republicanism is that the party shall
in no case be permitted to outrun the
patronage supply. When the Lily
Whites butted in the limit was ex-
ceeded but tcey have been weeded
out, and the party situation is again
normal. Thee are just enough repub-
licans to fill the offices, and the party
is united and happy, presenting at
the pie counter a solid, contented and
even enthusiastic front. There are
republicans, both black and white,
who never appear at republican con-
ventions. These are republicans of
another sort, but their number is NOT
great
The convention endorsed very nat
urally Mr.. Roosevelt, and also G. w.
Fairbanks of Indiana. Why 1t en-
dorsed Mr.. Fairbanks for vice-presi-
dent will perhaps never be known.
Senator Plat of New York recently
stated that Mr.. Fairbanks had been
slated for the vice-presidential nomi-
nation, and the Alabama contingent
either caught on quickly, or else 1t
lad received orders direct from head
quarters.
There is not a shadow of an electoral
vote behind The twenty-five delegates
selected to go to Chicago, but under
our system of selecting candidates the
Alabama delegates have as much of a
voice and vote as so many delegates
have from the contested and critical
state Of New York All delegates are
created free and equal. with certain
inalienable rights at the pie counter.

University Training Business.

'In the line of DR.. Penniman's lecture
on University Training as Preparation
for q Business Career, delivered under
the auspices of the Commercial club Tues
day night 1t is of interest to know what
the British commission reports" said a
prominent manufacturer.
This commission, known as the Nose
ley commission, was sent to the United
States by the British government to in
spect our industrial methods and our
commerce and ascertain why it was that
America was SURPRISING England in man
ufactures. The report was quite ex-
haustive, but the gist Of it was that the
men in charge of American Industrial
plants-from the presidents down to the
foremen-were better educated than the
same class in England. II was stated
in the report that a large percentage
of the men employed as managers and
superintendent had received technical
training In college. 1t was predicted that
the time would soon come when no man
would rise to the top unless he had a
theoretical as well as practical knowl-
edge of his business"

Chief Wier's Report.

Chief Of Police Wier should be COM
mended for the admirable report he
submitted to the police commission
Tuesday night. He showed that he
had conscientiously endeavored to do
his duty as chief, and that he has done
1t without fear or favor.
A year ago when Chief Wier took
the oath of Office he promised an ad-
ministration on the lines of law and
order, but free from malice towards
;-y class. His report is evidence that
he has carried out his promise. He
makes no attack on any one, but his
statement of arrests shows that he
has been alert and active. The report
shows many improvements In his de-
partment and that he has been work
ing in conjunction with the city ad-
ministration.
Chief Wier ha. decreased the num-
DER Vi dTTeSlS IlUT6 IMAM MS figures re-
ally show. During the past year there
has been a large increase in the popu-
lation of Birmingham, and decrease
of 625 in the number of arrests. The
report likewise shows that the depart
ment has been very active in recov-
ering stolen property.
Taken IN its entirety the report
shows a conservative administration
for the city's good, and it is to be
hoped that the report year from now
will show proportionate decrease in
arrests and increase in efficiency.
Chief Wier should be given the fif-
teen additional patrolmen he asks for.
This increase would certainly insure
better police protection in the resi-
dence portions CT the city.

available for court house extensions
and improvements. Either the county
will be forced. to enlarge the court
house, or else space for two courts
will have to be ented elsewhere. The
county shoult house It's own courts.
The proposed tax of ten cents on
each 500 of taxable value for the
benefit of the public schools should
command the vote of every patriotic
citizen. Tnere is not school in the
county, In or out Of this city, that does
not need more money. 1t is horrible
to contemplate boys and girls growing
to citizenship uneducated. The state
is full of illiterates, and this rich and
populous county should not add to the
number. Unless the additional tax
provided for by the constitution of
1901 be voted, schools In the rural dis
tricts of Is county will have short
terms and poor, under-paid teachers.
The addition of ten cents on the 800
would lift GU. schools up to a stand
arc that we can endure until complete
and unqualified local taxation can be
secured, when y school district can
decide for itself what kind of a school
1t will have. Self-government will yet
prevail in this matter.
