PHYSICIANS LOST
 TO HIGH SCHOOL
INTERESTING CONTEST ENDS WITH SCORE 22 TO o-HIGH SATURDAY..

In the game of football yesterday after noon on the West End gridiron between the Birmingham High school eleven and the team representing the Birmingham Medical college, the latter team was de- feated by the score of 22 to O. The tackle back formations of the High school proved a winning card and although they were outweighed thirty pounds to the man by their opponents they experienced little diff fculty in ploughing through the opposing line.
 The touch downs. of which Dryer made three and Montgomery one, were made mainly through bucks and end runs. Claude Estes, quarterback for the High school team, played a splendid game and the team as a whole showed the perfect training that Prof. Ed Miles has given them. A large crowd turned out to wit ness the game and enthusiastic cheering was furnished at all times.
 The following was the lineup of yester- days game:

 At the meeting last night letters were read from number of organizations, from the various newspaper and other in- terests pledging their hearty co-opera- ton to assist the local members of the association in entertaining the convention. The Birmingham local has sent out the following letters to the local associations all over the country extending them an invitation to attend the Birmingham con- vention:
 Letter of Invitation.
 Greeting:
 "In view of the fact that Birmingham has been selected as the city in which the twenty second annual convention of the Master House Painters and Decorators of the United States and Canada will be held. a few words concerning our local association and city we hope will not be considered presumptive. Our organization dates from 1900, and was launched on a summer sea and under smiling skies. and the fates seemed to decree a pleasant voyage for the good ship of honest en- deayor That our first selection of of- ficers was a wise one is clearly proven from the fact that all through the stormy scenes which we have passed, with a few changes. the same guiding hands are d- recting us toward the delectabe land of mutual benefit.
 "Our association contemplated and ac- complished the complete organization of all contracting painters in the city. A cloud appearing on the horizon at that time not larger than the passing of a summer shower but destined to reach the magnitude of winter gale and mas oueraded under the name of unionism un- til it assumed a spirit of intolerance that threatened annihilaton to all who had the audacity to withstand Its arrogance, the first chilling blasts of diversity soon reached and blighted the good intentions of our timid members.

SAILING UNDER FALSE CoLoRs.

The fable of the wolf arrayed in sheep
skin is again forcibly recalled by the
spurious reformers who are banded to-
gether for spoils of office under the au-
spices of the Fontanelle club. Ever since
that close corporation was organized
one of its battle cries has been smash
the machine" and the Dodge primary
election law was put through the Iegis-
lature as a measure of reform designed
to break up political combinations and
states by giving to the voters of each
party the opportunity to make their
individual choice of candidates.
No sooner had the law gone into effect
than the board of Fontanele club gov
ernors began to plot and scheme to
take into its own hands the naming of
the candidates for the county Offices to
be elected this fall. With this end in
view they held star chamber meetings
and made up a ticket long before the
day fixed for filing the names OF candi-
dates. In other words, they did not wait
even until all the candidates of their
own faction had presented their claims
to the club, but, ignoring the rank and
file of the membership of the club, delib-
erately put up a ticket that was to Ee
voted at the primary regardless of the
Individual preferences of other repubI-
cans.
This proceeding was nothing more or
less than a bold attempt to nullify the
primary election law and substitute for
the rank and file of the party the will
Of the inside ring that constitutes the

club. And now the town is being
flooded two weeks before the primary
with cards that bear this inscription

trying to dictate to the republicans of

THE ourBREAK IN TOXIC.

The manifestation at the capital of
Japan of popular dissatisfaction with the
peace terms was expected. Immediately
after the announcement that a settle
ment had been effected at Portsmouth
and that Japan would receive no indem-
nifty and also had given up one-half Of
Sakhalin a vigorous protest was made
by the radical party in Toxic, accom-
panied by threats against the govern
ment. The angered people denounced
the ministry the elder statesmen and the
ENJOYS as having betrayed and humlli-
ated the nation. So serious was the sit
uatlon then regarded that a member Of
the Japanese mission was reported to
have said: I'VE are going home to stones
and perhaps dynamite" The agitation
against the government has since been
vigorously carried on, finally developing
into disorder and violence of the greatest
character.
How long this storm Of popular indig-
nation will last Il is impossible to say
and the danger Of 1t spreading beyond
easily be aggravated by the soldiers in
the field, should an opportunity be given
them to do so. The army was not in
favor of peace. 1t wanted the war to go
on, confident of winning more victories.
1t knows that a peace agreement has
been reached, but 1t does not know the
terms. When 1t learns of these it may
declare its sympathy with the people at
home who are protesting against the
peace conditions and thus intensity the
internal trouble. However difficult the
government may find the suppression Of
the uprising, It is not to be apprehended
that It will affect the treaty. No heed, It
is safe to say, will be given to the popu-
lar demand that the mikado refuse TO
ratify the peace convention. That mat
ter is practically settled 1t is to be hoped
the japanese people can speedily be
brought TO see that 1t was settled wisely
and to the honor of their country.

ANOTHER TARIFF MENACE

The German tariff is not the only
menace to American trade which may
call for serious consideration in the near
future. Canada, as has already been
noted, has a commission appointed by
Parliament to investigate conditions in
the dominion affected by the tariff and
report what revision or change of the
fiscal system is desirable. This COM
mission will not only investigate condi-
tions, but will also obtain the views of
manufacturers and the business interests
generally. So far as the manufacturers
are concerned, there can lie no doubt as
to what they will say. They want more
protection for their industries, particu-
larly against American competition. This
they have avowed in conventions and
through the press and being well or
ganized they are able to bring to bear a
very strong influence. The Canadian
manufacturers are not particularly Op-
posed to the preferential duties given
English manufacturers and perhaps
would not complain If they were in
creased, but they insist upon being bet
ter protected against the manufacturers
Of the United States and It is highly
probable that they win get what they
want.
II so, 1t will necessarily mean a large
reduction in our trade with the dominion,
which in the last fiscal year amounted in
exports to $14O,OOO,00O. As the Cana
dians no longer show any desire for reci-
procity with this country and perhaps
would not consider any proposition for
reciprocity from our government, we
may anticipate losing a considerable per
centage of our commerce with that coun-
try, which Of course would in turn lose
some OF it's trade with US. This would
create a situation not conducive to
greater friendliness between the two
countries.

The proposed revival Of the Union Pa
cific hospital fund recalls the aversion
of former Union Pacific employees to the
system Of taxation without representa-
tion. The objection to the hospital tax
was not because It was compulsory

paid the tax had no voice in the selec-
tion Of the doctors, who regarded them

hciaries Of the employees. II this feature

No one thing, in our opinion, has contri-

manifested itself in many ways and forms
recently, as that defiance Of the law TO

belief is widely prevalent that many large

vices and subterfuges, they manage to

but there is certainly much to give color
to such belief. The history OF the Inter

The Santa Te railroad has been making
canvasss in several western and south
western states and il able TO announce
that the shippers are generally opposed to
the government interfering with the rate
making by railroads
The Santa Fe railroad which appears II
have had some experience in politics, has
taken most cunning course in conducting
this canvass. It stated the question the
shipper was to answer in such a
way that It expected not one would an
swer In the Affirmative and yet II finds
that only 70 per cent have answered in
the negative. The question was put by
the Santa Fe railroad in this form;
do you favor giving the Interstate Com
merce commission the absolute power to
fix all interstate rates and to establish the
relation OF rates between locallues2"
That was pretty clever when the question
before congress and the country Is whether
the Interstate Commerce commission shall
be given power to alter a rate which has
been complained OF as unreasonable and
with ample oportunity given the railroad
to be heard and to appeal from the COM
mission to the courts.
The shipper who would answer that uues-
tion in the affirmative is the shipper who
would also answer In the Affirmative IL
asked whether he favored the government
ownership Of railroads. The shipper who
answered It in the negative might still
be heartily in favor Of the principle Of the
Esch-Townsend bill and OF the doctrine OF
rates laid down by the president in his
message.
1t would appear, then, that the Santa Fe's
clever work has resulted in demonstrating
that there is nobody in favor OF letting
things alone. II It had had the courage TO
ask the question whether the shippers op-
posed any increase in the powers OF the
Interstate Commerce commission Il might
have obtained unanimous negative.
