~Anti-SDittln4 Ordinance.

Now that we are beginning TO put
on metropolitan airs with our fine new
cement and brick sidewalks. let's try
to keep them clean. Probably the
worst nuisance we have to contend
with is the man who chews tobacco,
stands around on the street corner
and squirts the juice in great big gobs
all over the pavement. Let's have an
anti splitting ordinance-one that will
do away with those puddles OF tobacco
Juice through which the ladies have
trail their skirts when they have any
shopping to do. The legislature has
passed II law which practically abol-
ishes the obnoxious cigaret, and it is
up to the city council to pass an ordi,
nance which will regulate the filthy
"chewing' habit. AS for the smoking
of frank" pipes and cigars in public
places. we are willing to leave it to the
good judgment of the city council to
decide what action should be taken,
Each of these habits is much filthier
than cigaret smoking and fully as of.
fensive to a large percentage of the
people.

on the trip, When the elevator had
assembled to "A sufficient height, pre-
scription clerk Frank Reynolds slip
ped around with Il horse syringe filed
with ice water and shot it up his vic
TINS trouser leg. Wards head hit
the ceiling, and when he finally came
down OF the floor of the elevator he
did not know whether he had been
bitten by a rattlesnake, stabbed by a
Russian or shot by a Jap. This is an
entirely new way of getting even with

Shall the City Own Its Lights?

At the meeting of the city council
Wednesday evening II. b. Hummer
proprietor of the Red Cloud Mills
again asked for a franchise which
would enable him to establish an cleo.
trio light and power plant in connec.
ton with his mill. After a brief dis.
cussion the matter was laid over. The
majority of the council is opposed to
granting a franchise to any private
individual or corporation, being in
hopes that some plan can be devised
by which the city may wi and oper-
ate its own electric light plant. Yet
if the citizens desire that a franchise
should be granted TO Mr.. Hummer the
council will probably not stand in the
way of this much needed public i'm
provement, and for the purpose of
ascertaining the trend of public sen.
timent in the matter a mass meeting
of citizens will soon be called to dis
cuss the various phases of the ques.
ton. Ii is certain that the question
must eventually be decided one way
or the other. and in fairness to Mr..
Hummer the decision should be de-
layed no longer than is absolutely
necessary.

Five Per Cent Corruption Fund.

The statue of limitations may keep United States Circuit Judge Baker or Indiana out of the pen, but it cannot shield him from public indignation. When circuit judges go about pull dozing clerks and postmasters out or per cent of years salary, public de- basement has touched bottom.
 The statute of limitations certainly does not run against an impeachment of .Judge Baker, for that is constitn- tional matter, and a statute cannot change the constitution. The matter will come before the next House or Representatives, largely controlled by the republicans, and the country VIII await with interest the record 1t will make.
 Judge Baker secuted the civil serv' ice law, which is indeed the himslest of shams. but the republican party is committed to its maintenance, and consistency in the public eye calls for some action on the part of the party that controls the House of Represen- tatives-the party that Judge Baker acted for when he compelled the clerks of Goshen to contribute to a campaign fund
 There is no rottener or more dis organizing feature of the government than the modern campaign fund. It dates from 1896. The subject is now fully before the House of Representa- tives. and we will soon see what they will do with 1t.

Decorate the Streets.

The President will assuredly do his best to meet the expectations of the people of the towns he is about to visit. It is generally believed that the speeches he will make will bring him much closer to the people of this sec tion of the country, and he never ut ters a sentence that he does not hon estly entertain. He is not a grand stand talker, whatever he may be in bear hunts.
 He will come to Birmingham as the President of the whole country, and he should be received here as such. The Age-Herald strongly urges the people to meet him cordially, spon- taneously and enthusiastically. Let the streets through which he will pass be handsomely decorated and lighted, and above all else let the people turn out in body to greet him.
 The welcome accorded him here should be made memorable by decor ations. All are anxious to see and hear the President, but the merchants and the residents in the streets through which he will ride should ex- ert themselves to devise decorations and lights that will delight the eye Of the brave man who is going to New Orleans, and that will convince him of the desire to do him personal honor.
 All the cities from Richmond to New Orleans will appreciate the coming Of the President. Let Birmingham do it's part, and it can best do that by mak- ing the streets of the presidential pro cession pictures in which decorations and lights will be conspicuous.

less be appointed, including represent atives from various countries in which claims are held, to ascertain the true value of the claims.
 When an honest and just valuation of Santo Domingo's indebtedness has been ascertained then perhaps the Senate will accept a treaty making the United States a collector of GUS toms at some of the Santo Domingo ports for the purpose of distributing the money pro rata among the ascer- tained creditors.
 All this must be put in the form of treaty, and it is probable just and reasonable plan can now be agreed upon. The rejection of last winters treaty was eminently wise, for the country will now go into the Santo Domingo business, if 1t go at all, with full knowledge of the situ- ation. Professor Hollander's forth coming report will disclose that.

The eleventh day of October is none too early for light frosts in this latitude, and the best thing about them is that they are the forerunners of killing frosts, which will be fully due in about thirty days.

 Alabama did go though the infection without accommodating single originaI case, and no doubt it will be claimed that a quarantine in the interest ol the banana trade is all-sufrlclent.

A Tribute to Labor.

"There Is no song sweeter to me than the song of labor,' said prominent man at the Morris hotel yesterday after noon just after he had made a tour of Birmingham. He had been through the business section and had made note of the many new buildings he saw in the course of construction.
 T am certainly pleased to see so much work, out-of-door. street work, if you please to call 1t, going on. The first thought at the sight of a new building Is usually the fine appearance it will make when completed. It will be point ed out by many as a building that will not only add to the appearance of the street, but rebound to the honor of the man putting 1t up. This is all right, and proper, but I say 1t is also a monument to the men who put it up, the mechanics who work beneath the sun. throughout many a noisy day, swinging hammers and bending their bodies. To, these, think, belong some of the glory.
 ''There Is certainly building boom on in Birmingham, though, and l judge the city will have metropolitan appearance sure enough when I come this way again in about one year In one square I count ed no less than five large structures in the course of construction. This is some thing unusual for any city,

HOldlnu Back Cotton.

Cotton is still selling below 10 cents, and yet the receipts are nearly as heavy as they were in the correspond ing time of last year. About as many farmers seem to be needing the advice of ex-Vice-President Peters as are lis tening to the appeals of President Jor- dan. MT. Peters advises farmers to sell, while MT. Jordan urges them to hold their cotton.
 A mass meeting of the farmers of Montgomery county, Alabama, is to be held tomorrow at the courthouse, and the subject of holding cotton will be discussed, and an effort made to secure common action. Farmers in other sections are holding cotton, and yet the weekly receipts at the ports are nearly 400 ,000 bales. The receipts at the ports are large-there is no doubt about that But there is always a good deal of distress" cotton at this season of the year, and possibly re- ceipts may soon be decreased.
 No one can even approximately es' innate the crop until the October re- port of cotton ginned is issued. When the census bureau has added the actual statistics of October to those or sep tember. and we know that killing frosts are to be early or late, then, and not until then, can a reasonable estl' mate of the size of the crop be mace Ii seems to be good sense in farmer to hold back. as far as he consistently can, his product until the octoper eih' ners' report is published.

WORLDS LARGEST CHURCH.

The largest church in the world Is St. Peters at Rome. It occupies the site of Nero's circus, in the northwest part of the city. and Is built in the form of a Latin cross. The total length of the in- terior is 612la feet transept 44s1a feet, height of nave 1521s feet diameter of cupola 193 feet height of dome from pave- ment to top of cross AS feet. The great bell without the hammer or clapper, weighs IS, 600 pounds, or over nine and one quarter tons The foundation of the building was laid 1450 A. D. Forty-three Popes lived and died during the time the work was in progress. It was uedicat- ed in 1926. but not entirely finished until 1880. The cost was about S70,000,000 and it costs heavily to keep it in order

An Ancient Directory.

Nothing is more interesting and noth- ing gives a better idea of the remarkable growth of Birmingham in the last two decades than a review of an old direc- tory" said citizen yesterday.
 "In looking through an old desk re- gently, I came across a directory publish ed In the year 1889. It was much smaller than the directories issued in the past few years. One noticeable feature is that the names of many men who are promi- nent now, do not appear in the book, men who have come to Birmingham and es- abolished a reputation in few years.
 "The addresses and other information contained in the book give an idea of the appearance of the city at that time. None of the large buildings had then been erected, and in many other ways Birming- ham did not look as metropolitan as il does. now. An interval of only sixteen years has elapsed but in that time won derful changes have taken place. When the old directory was published, Birming- ham had two small theatres, OBrien' $ opera house and Morimer's theatre neither of which are now used.
 Instead of an excellent electric car system covering all the adjacent terri tory. we then had several dummies and a number of horse cars One interesting point is that the different lines on the horse cars were designated by different colored lights. Thus one line would have green lights. another red and another blue''

Transfers Issued.

People have no idea how many trans fers are issued annually by the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power com pany," said George H. Harris, superin- tendent of the street railway department yesterday. 'T am figuring on the orders necessary for next year and it will amount to over 10O00,OO0 transfers.
 That amounts to about 950,000 transfers monthly, which is an enormous number. Bringing that on down it amounts to about S0,000 daily. We estimate that about one-third of the people who ride on the street cars daily use transfers. or in other words we haul about 100000 people every day
 "On some days the number of people who ride is as large as 10000. while on other days the number will not reach much over 75,oO0. It all depends on what attractions there are in the city, the con dition of the weather and a number of other things. Labor day Is generally one of the largest days we have, but the day that Barnum and Bailey's circus was in the city we carried record breaking crowd"

Santo Domingo Debt.

John H. Hollander was sent to Santo Domingo by the President to investi. gate the fiscal affairs of the island, and If current reports be true, his report fully justifies the Senate in refusing to ratify the treaty sent to it at the last session relating to Santo Domingo.
 That treaty would have bound Santo Domingo to pay bonds to the amount of $90,000,0 ,000 although the claims for which the bonds were issued did not in a fair estimate exceed $30,O00,000. The speculators proposed to handle this country and Santo Domingo in a way to give them the difference.
 It is proposed to scale down the outstanding claims to 8 just amount, and mixed commission will doubt
