PoLlTIeTs PAST AND PRESENT.

From the Louisville Post.
 That there is today a higher standard of morality stricter regard for the in terests of the public, more conscien- tious performance of public duties than in the so-called good old days is. we think, scarcely open to dispute. When men demand reform they are not moved to it by any desire to return to the prac- tices of the past, but they desire to se- cure a constantly improving public ser vice.
 There are periods of reaction. There are at times revelations of conditions that the public does not believe to exist, when men grow discouraged. But, taking broad view of the whole subject, con sidering not merely one incident in the great forward movement of the popula- ton, but considering the periods of pro- gress, we may well believe that today there is less corruption in government than in the days we point to with such pride in the past Escott, in his history of the House of Cmmons. in chapter de- voted to ''Walpole's management of the House. says: 'In 1734 both sides strained every nerve for victory. Walpole himself, out of his own pocket, spent s60, ,00o t$S0o.OOO)'
 That was a large sum of money to spend for campaign purposes in one dis triet, and it is considered indicative of other districts and of the methods by which Walpole maintained his power through a series of years.
 Wherever there is a privilege there will be patronage and corruption. Wherever there are men there is greed The time will never come when the influence of money will be entirely eradieated from political contests; but the time has come. we believe when an enlightened public opinion demands that the power of money be minimized

- ------,'-|71 Il.l's AS TO THE LEMON.

From the Richmond News-Leader.
 This new bit of slang that has come upon the country is peculiarly fascinating this handing lemon. Like most slang, it is intended to express large ideas and processes in few and simple words and it seems to fulfill that purpose exactly. A man goes confidently to another man to borrow money. He tells his story of woe or promise-and is handed lemon which means that the transaction is de- clined suavely and pleasantly, but finally. After months < of expensive devotion, adulation. worship, doubts and fears and strengthening heart throbs, the lover at last summons courage and with trembling accents tells his love and awaits eagerly a passionate outburst of response. He is handed lemon, which means that his suggestion is peremptorily declined and that she is willing to be a sister to him, but no more. The politician schemes and plots and pulls wires and cultivates pop ularity assiduously and finally launches himself before the populace. He is handed lemon-the majority election night is found sto be adverse. We do not know why the lemon was selected. but the selec- tionsas happy one as 1t has a suggestion ef coalpesss smoothness and aeidity about ir}khioh makes it most eminently appro- priate. .<Aye spredict that 1t has come to stfiy jalong with the other mysteriousiy bdrrl slang which comes from nobody knows where and grows int9 the Ian ssws xodld like to know who prlsinatsd

In Northern Alabama.

The time table of the Northern Ala bama railroad, over which The Age Herald's Flyer is speeded every morn ing, presents twenty-five coal-mine tracks that are not listed as stations Possibly there are forty coal mines on the line of that railroad between Par rish and Russellville. The Tupelo mine is the most northerly of the series, and 1t is located sixty-eight miles north of Parrish.
 These facts show how extensive the coal fields of Alabama are. There is more coal in Alabama than there is in all the rest of the cotton states. There is coal enough to last thousand years, even if we are called on to supply the ports of the vast Pacific ocean with coal after the Panama canal is com- pleted
 The Northern Alabama will yet prove to be a great coal-carrying railroad, and into it's promising territory The Age-Herald now goes every morning. Our merchants and manufacturers should begin to consider the possibili- ties of about forty coal mines and of the industries that may spring up about them.

Publicity of Campaiqn Funds.

It is wholly safe to say that the chairman of the republican congress sional campaign committee, James s. sherman, will not make public the re ceipts and expenditures of his commit tee. Chairman Greggs may respect public sentiment in that matter, but Chairman Sherman will not. The re- publicans will continue to defy the pub lie demand, for publicity in public mat ters, because they desire the use in election campaigns of vast sums gath cred from Privilege in all it's various forms.
 When the House of Representatives squelched the publicity bill sent to it, the policy and defiance of the republi- cans was made plain. In the House of Representative the republicans have IA majority, and the leaders of it de. liberately refused to report or consider in any manner publicity bill. They simply pigeonholed it, thus defying the people, and virtually declaring that they will continue to roll up slush funds from the beneficiaries of Priv ilege.
 In it's last analysis this means that Privilege will continue to maintain the concessions it has and to buy the new ones it needs, all through the republi- can party, which has come to be the party of privilege and plutocracy. When vast fortunes have been rolled up in that manner the step to a system of caste in this country is a short one, and this is the real underlying issue of the politics of this country in the age in which we live.

New ysrk's PIunderbund Politics.

This country has experienced wide variety of political campaigns, but it has never known one of stranger hue than that in which Hearst and Hughes are pitted against each other in New York state. Hughes was forced on the republican party. He had exposed Platt, Odell and Depew. He had absolutely dis graeed the last-named, and yet the re
 publican party was forced to accept him as it's candidate for governor. Ii was compelled to choose between De
 feat and Hughes, and it took Hughes
 In a somewhat different manner the democratic party was forced to mak5 Hearst it's candidate and standard
 bearer. He denounces all capitalists

MT. ShaW's Elasticity.

Having drawn from London all the gold we can, Secretary Shaw again comes to the relief of the money mar ket by permitting the substitution of $18,000,000 in railroad and municipal bonds for government bonds now ill the hands of the government to secure public deposits. But the bonds thus withdrawn must be used as a basis for new national bank note circulation. In this way MT Shaw hopes to bring ease to the money market while the coun trys great crops are being moved.
 MT. Shaw's right to do this is not seriously questioned, but he certainly cannot hope to bring relief in this way speedily. The changes involved will cover a considerable period and the urgency of crop moving will be severely felt in the meanwhile.
 Instead of providing for an increase of s1S,000,0OO in bank note circulation. 1t would have been much better to have deposited $1S,00O00O of the na- tion's available cash in the ten sub treasuries scattered over the country. New Orleans has one of them. The country's cash balance is $222 100000, and s167 100000 of the amount is wholly free cash.
 The present plan of the treasury was tried in 1902 and two months were consumed in the issuance of $1S,- 514000 of new national bank notes. and it is not probable that the process can be quckened materially this time. The objection to the Shaw plan lies. therefore, to it's necessarily slow action. His relief will, in fact, come when it is no longer needed, for by Christmas time the, stress and pressure of the crop movement will have been passed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-10-30

If the dissatisfied exceed the satisfied if the unsuccessful outnumher the successful-if the masses outrank the classes and particularly the trusts Hearst may be elected, despite the grandstand betting that is daily re- ported.
 The plain, downright truth is, nc body knows what New York will do next Tuesday in a remarkable cam paign. In a state that contains nearly two million voters, most of whom are toilers and men of small means, any thing is possible, and it is wiser to plead ignorance when the outcome of the New York election is brought up.

People Who Talk.

"If we could hear ourselves talk as others hear us, we would be much more surprised than if we saw ourselves as notice of things.
 'I have made this matter a subject of attention and find 1t very interesting. If you are on street car you will hear people talk about themselves and others loud enough to be heard all over the car. In fact, they appear to be talking for the public good and think it a grand oppor- tunity to ventilate their views upon poli- tics, religion, the future state or any thing upon which most people have their own private opinions. As d rule these people only succeed in showing their ig- norance.
 "Another species of humanity is he who talks at you instead of talking to you. He is generally another form of the pro bono publieo talker, but confines his re- marks to more personal matters and takes occasion to deliver a sermon upon some general topic. This mans manner is Irritating to the last degree.
 .Then we have the man whose lan- guage is scintillating with profanity; whose every noun is qualified by a hot pot adjective He generally entertains a select company ont la prominent street corner and the subject of his discqurse is generally some dsed of daring in which he was the hero. He generally times his language to make his expletives strike the ear of some young lady as she passes These scoundreIs deserve the whip.

LEoPoLD's DOMINANT DESIRES.
What Monarch Hopes Most to Ac
 compish Before He Dies.

Robert F. Park in "A King in Business, -
 in the November Eyerybody's.
 When an ex-minister was asked. in the lobby of the Belgian chamber last spring. what he considered the dominating pur- poses in Leopolds life he replied 'tThe king has but two dreams To die mill lionaireH (the possessor of one thousand million francs) 'aHd to disinherit his daughters.'
 The statement contains about as much truth as one can ordinarily condense into an epgram. Leopold undoubtedly hates his daughters, Louise and Stephanie He has tried in an endless number of ways. to set aside, to their detriment, the pro- visions of the civil code in the matter of parental succession But at seyenty-one. even the most worldly man must needs think of something other than money aud the satisfaction of his personal malice.
 The king has yet to consolidate llis pewer and tq perpetuate the situation he has created.

Bureau of information.

'"I'he duty of the police department,' said Desk Sergeant T. J. Shirley yester- day afternoon lis not completed when criminals are detected, riotous people in carcerated, property protected, directions pointed out and similar things performed. The police department is considered by everybody generally a bureau of informa- ton.
 Every day letters arrive from out-of- town people, asking if such a person has residence in the city, and If such per son would not be located and told such a thing. The majority of these people are not connected with any crime. Some kins- man of theirs simply desires to- know where they are and in what circum- stances. The local department endeayors to perform each of these little services. and does so willingly, but it is strange that people believe such service comes under the general title of duty.
 Nov, today I have looked through the directory and telephone books and made inquiries all over the city endeavoring unsuccessful The chief of police of Tam pa wires the department that that lady s mother is dying, and wishes to see her daughter. I have done all that l can to find her. l would be glad if you mention in The Age-Herald that the lady is want ed in Tampa. Some readers of the paper might know where she can be found'

Greek Letter conaress.

"Thei A. T. o. Greek letter fraternity, said ali old college man last night will hold its national convention in Birming- ham Until recently the fraternities have seen fit to hold their conventions above the Mason Dixon line, at some of those places of national reputation. This is the first time that fraternity has hon. ored Birmingham, and with the excep- ton of Birmingham, New Orleans alone has been similarly honored in the south The Sigma Nu fraternity recently held convention In the Crescent City.
