ORIGIN OF WORD "sockER."

To the Editor of The New York Times;
 It seems a thousand pities that in re- porting Association football matches, The New York Times in company with all the other newspapers. would consistently call the game "soclter"
 In the first place. there is no such word' and In the second place. it is an exceed ingly ugly and undignified one.
 You may search the English papers through and through, and in all the long columns of descriptions of games you will not find even Soccer (which is probably the word intended)
 As matter of fact, it was rad at Oxford and Cambridge to use Ter at the end of many words. such as foot CT, sport CT, and as association did not take an Ter" easily, it was, and is sometimes spoken of as Soccer.
 During the visit of the Pilgrims some wise person presumably an Englishman) explained to a newspaper reporter that the game was called Seeker because the players wore socks.
 It is to be hoped that this heresy will not spread, and that The New York Times will henceforth head it's articles "Asso- citation Football" FRANCIS H. TABOR.

from the people means new energy, new ideas. and occasional efforts to get out of the ruts of custom and precedent
 But the new member or Senator has his troubles, particularly his limita- tions. In the Senate he is expected fo be modest in speech at least, and in both houses he is generally forced to accent the less desirable committee assignments. In statesmanship it is necessary 10 begin at the bottom Soma work up. but still more become weary after a brief service and drop out.
 Alabama has no kids in either house. Representative Hehin Is not veteran, but he served in the Fifty-eighth Con gress. and any one who did that is not considered a kid in Washington. Our veteran Senators are supported by a delegation in the House who know what they want and how to get it. Men like Mr Underwood are 1t home in the transaction of public busi- ness. and Alabama gains weight and actual results by retaining experienced representatives in Congress. Her Sen ators and Representatives are respect ed. and they never fail to secure all the state is fairly entitled to, even from congressional majorities that do not admire Alabama politics.

\ anIlocd Snffrade.

1 The offer of manhood suffrage to Austria by the government completes the list, for il had already been offere1 to Hungary, and all that stands in the way is a desire to secure at the same lime the use of the language of Hun gary in the Hungarian regiments. It is reasonably certain that throughout Austria-Hungary parliaments based on manhood suffrage will soon participate in public affairs.
 When China's parliamentary system is established every large country will then afford it's people a chance to take part in it's public affairs. The truth is absolutism went down hopeless wreck when Russias government col lapsed. All saw at once that only gov ernments based on the people could hope to be efficient and strong. Japan knocked the wind of the Russian gas bag. and all the world is accepting the logical lesson.
 A few flag ends remain, such as Morocco, Persia and Turkey, but prac- tically speaking the world Is on a popular basis. The flag ends are weak survivals of d dead past, and they will be reformed as fast as they are fit for the change. Much depends upon the working out of the Russian revolution, one of the greatest in the worlds his tory.
 But let us not imagine that our own electoral condition is ideal, for it as- suredly is not. Alabama does not pos sess a free ballot simply because she does not possess secret ballot. Any ballot that is not secret--that Is, open to inspection by any court house crowd that desires to look into it-is a ballot l that is swayed by pressure and infln- ence of various sorts. It Is not a free ballot by any means, and no man should be elected to the next legisla ture who is not pledged to favor a free ballot in this state.

SENATOR PETTUs.

 Here comes Senator Pettus, and l want to tell you that if he is living four teen years from now he will still be Sem ator from Alabama, though centena- rian" remarked friend as the patri- archial southern statesman walked into the lobby of an uptown hotel last even- ing. Many pressed forward to greet him and congratulate him on his good physl- cal appearance. He has passed his eighty fourth birthday, and yet neither mental ly nor physically does he show much evi- dence of the infrmity that comes with years.
 Senator Pettus chuckled as he told or reading a newspaper story of how he had fallen from a wagon last summer ana been run over by mule, which, he said' was the first intelligence that had reached him of such an accident. It reminded him of a glowing obituary that one of his home papers printed during his ser vices In the Confederate army, the aru- cle stating that he died a heros death while charging his horse upon the enemy $ breastworks.

Section Is Rebuilt,

The burned district in Baltimore, said returning traveller yesterday, 'ls we'll nigh rebuilt, and there Is scarcely a re- hinder of the big fire in sight
 One does not have to ask where the burned district begins or ends, for the general appearance of the new buildings denote it's limits. The new structures present to the man in the street a flat appearance The corniees have drawn in their horns. and window caps and stills have lost their old time assertiveness. Bricks of light color are used, and it goes without saying that the general appear ance of the streets has been bettered.
 'The modern architects seem 10 be able to weed out the idiosyncraeies of individ- ual owners, for none of them appear III the new street fronts It is important to curb not only owners but also builders and to make all conform to good taste and good architecture. This Is what has been done in Baltimore and just as soon as you leave the burned district in that city you find yourself among the grotesque and fantastic creations of the men who built houses before the war The later houses are much more pleasing to the eye"

-------' HENRY B, GRAY.

From the Gadsden Journal.
 We publish in today's Journal the an nouncement of Henry B. Gray of Birm- ingham as a candidate for the democratic nomination for lieutenant governor of Alabama.
 MT Gray Is the president of the Peo- ple's Saving Bank and Trust company, one of the strong financial institutions of Birmingham, and has been long promi- nently identified with the citys develop ment Mir Gray is a gentleman of un- usually strong character who has forged his way to the front in his private affairs and would undoubtedly prove a wise choice for the position to which he aspires.
 In his announcement he takes a bold and unequivocal stand on the questions with which as people we have to deal, particularly emphasizing his belief in freight rate regulation, better public schools larger pensions for the Confeder- ate soldiers, better roads and municipal code These are all live questions in which the people are vltally interested and, barring a perhaps too radical posi- tion on the railway rate proposition, we are heartily in accord with his views and take great pleasure in commenting him 10 our readers.

New Stations.

"In regard to railroad passenger sta- tions," said a well known travelling man of the east at the Hotel Hillman last night. "the south can soon boast of hay- Ing some of the finest in the country Att lanta and Nashville have magnificent ter minal stations, and when the stations which are to be erected at Birmingham and Chattanooga are finished, the south will have almost the equal of any in the country. Both Chattanooga and Birming- ham need new and larger stations, and 1t is d pleasure to know that such fine buildings are to be erected soon. Mobile and Meridian will also have new stations. The railroads are paying more attention to the passenger business at the present time than they have in many years and great Improvements are noted in that branch of the service.
