The independent vote in the contested states is now so large that the shrewd- est foreeaster is confounded.
 Nothing can so quickly and thor oughly dethrone the boss in American politics as independent voting, and the papers that disregard party lines In the north are encouraging the move ment towards independence in voting It should be remembered that in every northern state the ballot is secret, and therefore free The ballot in Ala bama is not secret, and is not there fore free, but Alabama is not placed in the list of contested states. A se- cret and free ballot in the northern states wonderfully promotes independ- ent voting. and we may reasonably ex- pect an increase of it until the bosses and cliques are hampered and crip. pied and deprived of all corrupt and arbitrary power.

It is to Be Mayor Ward.

The voluntary retirement of Charles s. Simmons as candidate for mayor is the fulfllment of a most patriotic duty.
 Charles s. Simmons is a man of fine parts. He is, best of all, a business man, and should the office have been entrusted to his hands, he would have fulfilled its obligations to a full de- gree.
 Perhaps no city in all the land oc- cupies a more peculiar position than does Birmingham. This is a growing community, a promising southern city under the new order of things. It carries a heavy burden of debt, which can be met only by continued growth. This must and will come.
 Next May George B. Ward Is to assume the leadership of the admins tration of city affairs. The Age-Herald has full confidence in his ability to serve in such capacity. He is a strong and vigorous young man, full of men tai resources and of those qualities which tend to lead as a developer and as a financier. He knows the city and Is fully acquainted with it's needs. He has since his early boyhood dealt in questions of finance which required a man of ability to fully handle. No one questions his honesty.
 Therefore, The Age-Herald Is sure that it voices the sentiment of this community when 1t says that the city of Birmingham will be safe under the executive management of George B. Ward. True it is that he cannot do all, but certain 1t is that his admin istration will find hearty support at the hands of every man in the city who is interested in a strong and an honest administration of our munich pal arairs.

MODERN PLAYS ARE NOT
 POPULAR FOR READING

voluntarily. The change in the theatre has been forced by the seeming deter- imitation of the dramatists to reduce theatrical representations to the plane of natural human speech and conduct. The public has accepted what has been placed before it, and 1t finds the change grate- full. But there is no such compulsion In the library. There the new habit must be acquired individually and voluntarily.
 Yet the best modern play, natural da- logue and descriptive stage business both considered, should furnish the best andy sis of character, at least as now exem-- plified in everyday life. And that which reveals character. relates a story and en- forces a theme in the written form, if of should Constitute literature. But note the attitude of the public toward the modern printed play. If popular book has been dramatized, and the drama has been placed in the market beside the novel, the advent of the play in any community will bring lorty calls for the novel to one for the play. ?.
 And if there is this lack of interest on the part of those who are experienced in play-going, is it not almost out of the question to expect the non-theatre- going public to take up the modern play for reading purposes? Yet there is reason to believe that in due time there will be larger appreciation of the really fine literary quality that enters into the best of modern plays.

Our Navy.

As naval power we are promised by indications that within six years the United States shall take the sec ond place among the nations, which means one ahead of France and next to Great Britain. The calculation is made on the basis of the vessels now under construction by this and other countries.
 With a strong republican congress committed to the work of building up the navy and many members of the minority party who have a vote and who are strong supporters of the big navy idea, and with President who believes in strong defense on the high seas, there is no doubt that most liberal and perhaps extravagant ap. propriations will be made next year for the building and equipment of war ships.
 Forty-seyen vessels for the navy are today in course of construction, among which are fourteen first-class battle ships, ten armored cruisers, five pro tected cruisers and three scout crui- sers, besides numDer of minor war vessels. If there be lack of appro- priation for torpedo boats or destroy CTS it will no doubt be supplied when congress meets next month.
 It must not be forgotten that our country is at present third on the list of naval powers, with England first and France next ahead of us; but the great powers of Germany, Russia, Ja- pan and Italy are below us. At the beginning of this year Russia stood ahead of the United States and ahead of Germany, but Japan by her de- structive warfare cut down tha strength of Russia on the sea.
 Under the new order of things it requires much time to build new war ship. Iron and steel have supplanted wood which Perry was accustomed to use to complete ships within few months and with them defeat the Brit ish on the lakes. It now requires sev- eral years to build one of our modern war dogs; but Uncle Sam has the time of peace and the money with which to prepare for war.

Alabama's Strength.

You Birmingham people amuse me very much by taking up so much time in talking about politics." said Colonel Ralph Saunders of Athens at the Morris yesterday.
 We Alabamians, It appears to me. are absolutely out of it in political way. Our duty is now first to ourselves. our community and our state.
 "AnS by the way North Alabama and I believe all other parts of this state are in better and more comfortable con- dition than any time since the war. In truth, Alabama Is rich. and by the in- dustry of her people has overcome mon strous obstacles within the past few years, and has arisen to a position of strength and independence, hardly realiz- ed by her own people, who are receiving full benefit of this blessing.
 Surely Alabamians ought to most heartily join in this years Thanksgiving services"

Iron Ore Industry.

A special report upon the iron ore industry, presented by the census bu- reau, shows that in the year 1902 the 525 iron ore mines of this country produced S5,567,410 tons, worth S1.84 a ton. The ton value of ore has been falling since 1olO, when 1t stood at $435. Besides the active mines men, toned there were, in 1902, inactive mines to the number of 220.
 Michigan had 32 mines; Minnesota, 26; Alabama, 25. These states lead all the rest. Alabama's 25 mines reported capitalization of $22,122,470. The tonnage per wage earner in Michigan was ITO; in Alabama, 735. The Lake Superior district pays the best wages, followed in order by Alabama, Ten nessee and Pennsylvania.
 Of the ores produced in 1902 the red hematite mines furnished over thirty million tons; the brown hema- tite mines a little over three million tons, leaving less than two million tons to come from mines of other vari- cities. The consumption of red hema- tite ores is constantly increasing, be- ing now about S6 per cent of the en- tire production. The output of hema- tite in Alabama in 1902 was 2,565,63 long tons, while the brown ore mines furnished but 1,1OS,S39 long tons. The red hematite is taken from both sides of Red mountain, where it is found in inexhaustlole quantities. It is mined at low cost, in close proximity to coal and stone. It is mined at low cost, and it has rendered Birmingham one of the greatest iron-maldng centers of the world

UtiI zation of Electricity.

Atlanta wants and may get an cleo tric railway from that city to one of the seaports, and it is probable the city will soon see such an enterprise established and in successful opera. tion. The idea is to fit the road up, not only for passenger service, but to carry heavy freights at much cheaper rate than the steam locomo. tive affords.
 Electricity is becoming & most po' tent factor in all material develop ment, and bids fair to supersede steam power to a great extent When Atlanta gets her electric line to the coast and 1t proves successful, the electric motor will enter other fields of usefulness and will probably supplant to great extent human and horse labor on the farm. In fact, the west is awakening already to such proposition as this. In Kent county, Illinois, experiments have been in progress with the electric motor for farm work six months or more, and results obtained are reported to be highly satisfactory. It is said that the faithful motor does work on the farm at one-half the expense that it is done with men and mules, which fact has greatly enhanced the value of farm lands out there. By electricity the land is actually plowed and the crops cultivated fully. The machines for harvesting and threshing the grain are run, and everything, in fact, about the farm in the way of labor is performed by machinery, with electricity as the motive power.
 T It may not be very long before here in the south our farmers will be cul. tivating cotton and corn by means of electricity. and by tue same force
