Business Failures in 1904.

There were forty-four fewer failures in the south last year than there were in the rrevious year. although in the county as a whole there were 654 more.
 Alabama's record in 1904 is excel. lent. In 1903 we had 191 failures; last year we had 162. Scarcely state did better. Good crops, good prices as q rule, and condition of general pros perity carried us through the recent year with flying colors.
 In connection with a table of the failures of the year, Bradstreet's pro- ceeds to p-ncture a popular error. It shows that the failures of last year were but eight.tents of one per cent of those engaged in business, and that In the last six years the percentage of failures in a year has never risen to one per cent. AnC yet there is a popu- lar belief that the larger portion of those who enter business fail This is a mistake The great majority of business men either succeed or sell out to those who carry on the business they started

Paul Morton's Rebate Record

That the Santa Fe railroad paid re. tates to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company is not denied. It has in fact been proven by the testimony of W. E. Beddle, freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe railroad. This was In 1902, and Paul Morton, now Secretary of the Navy, had in that year charge of the feright traffic of that road. Mir. Morton admitted that the roads re. bate contracts were illegal, and that he knew they were illegal when they were made. He also admitted that rebates to the beef trust and to big than the exception. Millions, he ad- mitted before the interstate commerce commission, were paid out in that way.
 This raises a large sized question. The railroads are not kept open to shippers on equal terms, as the pres ident demanded in his recent mssage they should be, and Paul Morton, now Secretary of the Navy, is one of the men who saw to it that some shippers were favored with rebates while some were not.
 The secret rebate system is the most dangerous practice of the railroad sys- tenn of this country. Miss Tarbell shows that 1t created and then en. riched the Standard Oil monopoly. and it is building up today the beef trust and . hundred other trusts that threaten every interest in the land.
 The rebates granted to the Santa Fe

COCkRELL AND HIS HAT.
Threw It to Ceiling and Then Wen
 to Senate.

Walter Williams in the World Today.
 The truthful story is told in Missouri that the throwing of a broad -brimmed hat to the ceiling of the hall of the house of representatives in the capitol at Jeff ferson City made Francis Marion Cock rell a member of the United States Sem ate.
 The state had been stirred by a contest for the democratic nomination for the governorship. The lines between support CTS of opposing candidates were sharply drawn. In a state convention numbering thousand delegates Charles H. Hardin had won by the narrow majority of one half of one vote. So close was the result and so bitter the feeling that the demo- cratic leaders feared irreconcilable di- vision In the party ranks.
 The result, however. had scarcely been announced from the secretary's desk when the tall figure of the defeated can didate, General Coclrell, was seen coming to the platform. A moment more, as the hush of expectancy fell upon the crowd ed hall, Cockrelrs voice rang out:
 'No man." said he, Twill more loyally support the nominee of the convention than myself. No man will throw his hat higher for Charley Hardin than will l."
 And away to the ceiling went the ad-brimmed Cockrell hat. The conven- ton, frantic with enthusiasm. heard not another word, but the following spring General Coclxrell became United States Senator by the unanimous vote of the Democrats of Missouri. For five suc- cessive terms, since March 1, 1875, with never Democratic vote against him. he has been elected to the senatorship the first and only political office he has ever held. No senator from his state has surpassed this record In length of years. and none has equaled 1t save Thomas Hart Benton, the great Missourian.

HOW BALzAc WORKED.

ITO be celebrated and to be loved these were Balzac's two supreme and pas- sionate desires" writes Tighe Hopkins. the English author. He gave the pref erence to fame, and killed himself with work, if author ever did. His books, each one of which, when he had settled down to the 'Comedie Humaine,' he pro- claimed a masterpiece, were a veritable obsesslon. We know now with what cease less and almost insane toll he brought them forth: and can see how wrapped in the monks robe of white flannel. the big throat laid bare, veins swollen, the great black eyes aflame, agonizing over plot and scene, supplicating and cursing the phrase that would not come, sustain ing this through the days and nights, of three dreadful weeks at a stretch. In the sealed and curtained chamber where the candles were never extinguish- ed Then. livid. unwashed and half-clsth- ed he would drag himself to the printers. Thus only, in nation of stylists could the man that never achieved a style, make himself the first novelist of his day and a classic
 "Wearing and wasting as this travail was Balzac's splendid strength of body the sure and ready return of his inspired and seer-lke periods. his quenchless be- lief in himself and interpid faith in the future, enabled him to continue 1t, with a minimum of repose. for thirty-one sue cessive years. And what a bulk of work! From 1921 to 1924 he wrote thirty volumes; :; and in 1924 he was but 25 years of age, and had not even begun to think of the 'Comedie Humaine.'
 Between 1880 and 1S42 seventy-nine movies of the Comedy saw light; and with all this the great work was never completed. On his deathbed he pleaded with his doctor for six months. six weeks, six days in which to consummate his task and sank into coma while pleading for six hours"

Definite Democracy.

William Jennings Bryan at Memphis and John Temple Graves at Cincinnati both pleaded for a democracy that means something and stands for some thing, instead of democracy that sim ply opposes. Instead of a party or negation both desire a party that be- lieves something and that proposes to do something. we are going" said MT. Graves before the Duckworth club at Cincinnati, to find and follow real leaders if we have to smash every slate and annihilate every politician that has fattened upon our suffrage for forty years. We are going to make platform that will be an open opposition and bold challenge to the republican creed everywhere"
 MT. Graves holds that in the present stage of politics defeat Is discipline and disaster education. "Out of the wreck" he goes on to say, "of our fortunes we will build a nobler and more enduring usefulness. The demo- cratic party is going to be reformed reformed and reconsecrated to the constitution and to popular rights and liberty. We cannot afford any longer to be a party or mere negation, party of opposition, or a servile imitation of the party in power"
 If the country is to be rescued rom the grasp of Dingleyism and mono poly, it must come through the dem ocratic party rebuilt on the lines Of Jefferson and Jackson, and much ds' bends now upon the adherence by the rank and file to true democracy. The leader will come if the democratic army itself holds faithful to its traditions. It was not in the old days the party of privilege. It did not favor monopoly It did not beneve in plundering the many for the benefit of the few. It stood forth the champion of the masses. and that is what it must do if 1t is to regain control of the country and the confidence of the people.

Police Arrests In Birminuham.

Chief Wier and his force deserve much praise for their efforts to main tain order without multiplying arrests The number of arrests in this city feli from 11,938 in the year 1903 to 1928 in the year just ended. A like fall In the present year would be a victory indeed for Chief Wier, and the brave men le commands.
 Atlanta was afflicted last year with unnecessary arrests, even beyond Bir- a-ingham, and reform has set in there. Mayor Woodward declares that the policeman who preserves order while he makes the fewest arrest is here after to be the blue-ribbon member of Atlanta's police department. Chief Moon seconds the motion, and the Atlanta News supports it. Jefferson said that "the people is best governed who are least governed" and the prin- ciple is applicable to police circles. Order should be maintained, and the liberty and rights of the weak and de- fenceless should also be considered sacred.
 Chief Wier Is on the right line. He is making splendid record, and if he will cut the number of arrests down this year to the extent of two thousand cases, he will deserve the thanks of all humanitarians and good citizens. Order can be best maintained by avoid ing unnecessary arrests, and 1900 ar rests this year is to say the least enough.

company amounted. it is said, to one thousand dollars a day. thus enabling that company to drive other coal pro- ducers in that state out of business. Paul Morton was formerly president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company He then became second vice president of the Santa Fe company, having charge of it's freight traffic. While he was second vice president the coal lands of the Santa Fe were sold to the Colorado company and rebates were straightway allowed the latter.
 At least 1t will not be said that he was in line with the president who says the practice of granting rebates must be stopped, nor was he in line with Attorney General Moody who Is trying to stop 1t. He is misft in an anti-rebate cabinet.

Indians "Guy' the President.

"The funniest occurrence that I have heard of in recent months" said Ralph Bingham, the humorist lecturer, who Is stopping over In Birmingham, occurred at the White House some time ago.
 "A large delegation of Indians from the western reservations, headed by Buff falo Bill (Col. w. F. Cody) called at the White House to see President Roosevelt. As they were admitted Mir. Roosevelt met them with a welcome smile and asked them to be seated The Indians attired In their fanciful costumes after some diff flculty were comfortably fixed in the chairs.
 T feel honored in having you call on me- said the President. I think 1t a high compliment that you descendants of the original Americans should have come from the far away reservations to see the White Father
 Bush-wah, Bush-wah,' exclaimed the Indians skipping their hands
 Yes, I am happy that you came" said the President growing eloquent, and I want to do something for you. I would like to arrange 1t so that you red men could again go to the forest and streams 
 and hunt as did your forefathers.'
 .Rush-wah! Bush-wahr came in a eleeful chorus from the red men.
 "'Yes, feel it such a compliment. continued the President, that I would like to fix it so that you could get more money from the government and could get larger rations. I want you to be able to go up and buy your supplies with money like white men
 'Bush-wah! Bush-wah! cried the ln- dians, as they slapped their Knees ana nodded to each other and smiled.
 Gentlemen want to thank you again for coming to see me and hope you will come again With that the h. dians retired.

From the New York Mall.

From the New York Mall.
 NN or in recent years has there been DH such a sleighing winter In this city as this season has been. Not only has there fallen already more snow than the winters average whole allowance but the white covering has lain more unbrokenly and evenly on the parks and drives. Central Iark has worn the aspect of a country wood since early in December. The Speedway has had surface for sleighs which even a well beaten country road could not boast. Naturally the opportunity has called into service everything in the shape of wheelless carriages that exists in or around the metropolis. Tn z more elo- quent and conventional way we have initiated the sleighing carnival that comes with the first heavy and sudden snowfall in a country town. when all kinds of fantastic runner vehicles, from the oldest inhabitants high-backed sleigh of the vintage of 1796, with the mud-wasps' nests still clinging to 1t, to a dry goods box mounted on a couple of bent gas pipes, come into play. Some very queer sleighs have surely been seen In the park in the last four weks.
 Also some very magnificent and beau tiful ones. For the models of these we have to go to Russia and Canada. Co., lonial America evolved sleigh of its own, but Its lines were sternly Puritan ical. It resembeld a section of a pew in a meeting house dragged out and put on runners. It had a high, straight back, and It's dashboard was low upright slab. There were no more curves in the structure than there were in the theolo- BY of the men and women who rode in It. Missiles of ice and snow flew from the horses feet straight into the face of its stoic occupants.
 After the old high-back curveless sleigh came, by wild reaction, the "cut- ter" of the eos and 7Os, which was all curves. Back 1t had next to none. Its dashboard had become it's most promi- nent feature; 1t was twisted like scroll, and gave the impression that people were driving out behind bakers Jelly roll. This scroll front had the merit that it was able to catch all the Ice and snow thrown by the horses feet; and owing to It's want of high back. if you were dumped out on the road, as you generally were. you were left unhurt In the snow while the horse ran bounding on with the "cutter." It ran just as we'll one side up as the other.
 The Russian sleigh is the only runner vehicle of real diginty that we have ever had in this country. Its solemn plumes, It's soft-toned bells. its somber color con- trasting resplendently with the white surface, over which 1t moves. It's ampli- tude and graceful forms, make 1t for the lands of the snow what the gondola is to Venice. Above the varied and more or less fantastic products of the American and the Britannia sleigh-nakers' fancy

RoNsARD TO HIS MISTRESS.
By Thackery.

By Thackery. Some winter night, shut snugly in Beside the fagot in the hall, l think l see you sit and spin,
 Surrounded by your maidens all. Old tales are told, old songs are sung, Old days come back to memory; You say, When I was fair and young A poet sang of mel" There's not a maiden in your hall, Though tired and sleepy ever so. But wakes as you my name recall, And longs the history to know And as the piteous tale Is said,
 Of lady cold and lover true. Each musing, carries it to bed.
 And s gfs and envies youl "Our ladv's old and feeble now"
 They'll say; "she once was fresh and
 fair, And yet she spurned her lover's VOW, And heartless left him to despair The lover lies in silent earth,
 No kindly mate the lady cheers; She sits beside lonely hearth
 With threescore and ten yearsr' An! dreary thoughts and dreams arc
 those;
 But wherefore yield me to despair, While yet the poets bosom glows, While yet the dame Is peerless fair! Sweet lady mine; while yet 'tis time, Requite my passion and my truth. And gather in their blushing prime The roses of your youth!

Commercial Club Smoker.


 The smoker of the Commercial club next Friday night promises to be a much different affair from any of the previous annual events" said a member last night. ''of course there will be the social feat ure, which Is the central ida in these annual smokers, but we also intend to discuss informally a number of impor- tant matters which have come up before the club at previous meetings and been reIerred to committees, or which have been before the club for some time.
 The club has some very4mportant mat ters to discuss and act on during the en- suing year. and 1t were well that they should come up for discussion at social session when all feel more at liberty to express themselves freely.
 "One important matter is the move ment to secure more conventions for Bir- mingham. This can only be done by each citizen who Is member of a national, a southern or even a state convention get ing in touch with the Commercial club and securing the aid of the club in get ting the next annual meeting of that con- Vention to come to Birmingham.
 one of the main duties of the secre- tary of the Commercial club Is to keep statistics regarding Birmingham, facts and figures, on his tongues end, ready to furnish them to any one seeking in- formation. A member of a convention can get his facts and figures and go to the meeting prepared to present them in such a manner to the other members that they will be forced to come to Bir- ningham to see the things about which they have been told"
