 The magnificent opportunities offer ed by this State Do young men of brains and brawn are being recognized throughout the world, andsit is only a question of a short time before Ala bama's rank, based on population. mag nitude of industry and abundance of wealth, will be where by natural en- dowment she belongs It is with the men of Alabama to hasten the day.
 Much has been said, much is being written. and from the looks of things much will be undertaken In the near future. with reference to child labor. That children of tender age should not be required to work, especially in cot- ton mills, is true. It is also true that they should not be allowed to work. The great State of Alabama does not need the labor of children. It needs more labor from it's grown-ups. and more grown-ups that will not permit their children to labor. Under the present law twelve years is the mini- mum age at which a child is allowed to work. This law. however, has a number of provisions that makes 1t possible, under certain condiIlons, Tor a factory, mine or firm to employ chill dren under this age.
 Alabama has a duty to its young children to perform and in her wis dom. will perform 1t. The matter will be settled without the aid of outside fanatics and without pressure from any financially interested source.
 The enactment of compulsory edu- cational law should certainly be accom- plished. If the children, say those un- der the age of fourteen years. are left on the streets while their elders go out to work, the benefits sought for these children will not be realized. If, however. the State makes. provision that they be put in school and sees to it that the provision is enforced, the desired end Will be attained. The per- centage of illiteracy will immediately begin to decrease and the standard of it's white citizenship will be higher.
 That small children were ever worked in Alabama mills Is not alto gether the fault of the mills. The State is partially responsible, the par ents of the children are partially re- sponsibIe' and the mills are partially responsible, but, the State only can stop it.

By H. c. Lane. in Manufacturers' Re
 cord.
 The unparalleled development of the cement industry in the United States during the last twenty-five years has attracted considerable attention, all though the import of this phenomenal . ly fast increasing industry, with all It's possibilities has not been compre- hended by the people at large, and strange to say, in many instances' not even by people, with opportunities for vast development along this line.
 The general observer looks with wonder upon the rapid development or the iron industry In the United states during the last quarter century, yet a glance at the following statement Of the comparative growths of the iron and cement industries, as shown in The Manufacturers Record of July 5, 1906, fills one with amazement:
 "In 1880 the United states produced ,, 500, ,0O0 tons of pig irona last year the total production was learly 23,000, 900 long tons; or a little over six times as { much as was produced quarter of a century ago. This is everywhere ac- cepted as one of the most marvel ous growth in industrial history and yet 1t Is not to be compared with the rate of growth of Portland cement. The creation of the Portland cement industry is one of the wonders of the industrial world. In 1880, the total output of Portland cement in the Uni- ted States was 42,000 barrels; last year 1t was 34,0O0,0O0 or over 500 times as much wheras in pig iron production the output of 1905 was only about six times as much as that of 1880. So we seem to be but at the beginning of the development of the cement industrya which. while the rate of growth can not of course continue at the great percentage of increase for the last quarter of a century, will at least in all probability, be as great in the ac- tual figures of advance as of late years. As late as 1900 the total production Of cement was only S,400,000 barrels. The next year l2,70O, ,000 barrels, followed in 1902 by d gain of nearly 5,OOO,OOO, and reaching In 1903 an output of 22,SOO,O0O barrels, from which there was an ad- vance in 1905 to 34,000,000 barrels De- spite this stupendeus expansion prob ably never equalled in the history of any other industry the demand for cement has been so great, that prices have continued very high"
 A bulletin issued by the Reclamation Service on April 29. and in part as follows serves to portray the existing conditions as to supply and demand:

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
Resolution by E. S. WaIdschaky of
Madison Sets Forth Evils of Drink.
ing and Urges Union Men to Take
Firm Stand on Subject-AIso Raps
Treating Practice.
Madison July 20.


The Wisconsin federation of labor,
in convention in the senate chamber
of the capitol, has before it a large
number of matters of vital Importance
to the interests of the wage earners
of the state. Resolutions from all
over the state, expressing the views
Of organizations of labOring men are
under consideration and will be
adopted or laid aside without approval
before the convention closes at the
end of the week. One of the resolu-
tons demands that at least one day
of rest be allowed to workers, so that
no laborer shall be required to be on
duty seven days of the week. In this
movement the delegates and their
local organizations are asked to help
by way of the securing of facts con
corning uninterrupted service and by
way of the spreading Of sentiment in
favor of day of rest from toll.
Treating Cause of Drunkenness.
Another resolution, presented by
E. S. Waldschaky of the Madison
trades council, proposes to inaugurate
a temperance movement among or
ganized wOIkmen. 1t sets forth in a
preamble the evils of intemperance
and resolves that the time has come
for union men to take a stand on the
subject Of drinking. The next reso-
luton in this documents hands a rap
at the practice to treating" and
ance and drunkenness among union
laborers. 1t involves resolutions that
unions teach temperance and work

ance, among them one pledging sym
pathy for Meyer and others in the

A CUMMINS LEGISLATURE.
Reports Indicate That Progressives
Will Control.

Des MOines, Iowa, July Ire
ports from various counties over the
state indicate that the next Iowa leg
islature is almost certain to be pro-
gressive in complexion. This is of
Importance, because it is part of
Governor Cummins' program to Sc
cure the enactment of statewide
primary law next winter. So, even
with his own election, his hands
ture.
Last session the progressives had
lwenty-One in the senate, the stand
patters twenty-one and the democrats
eight. Reports are that Senators
Brooks, Bruce, Cartwright, Harris
horn and Spaulding, all standpat-
ters, will be succeeded by progress
sives. This would give Cummins'
supporters twenty-siX, or a bare ma
jority of the senate. There would
be a much better chance for gain
were it not for the fact that forty
nine of the members hold over.
Last winter the progressives had
only small majority in the house,
which will be materially increased.
Under the new law there will be one
representative at least from every
county in the state, while eight coun-
ties will have two. Formerly there
have been six districts made up of
two counties.
In each of the six new districts
created by the law progressives are
practically certain of winning. In
addition, Allamakee, Winneshiek,
Delaware, Hamilton, Cherokee,
Story POcahOntas, Carroll, Wright,
Buchanan, Cerro GordO, O'Brien
and Webster thirteen counties
that have been represented
by standpatters or democrats, are eX-
pected this year to send progress
sives.

NEW NATURALIZATION LAW
SOON IN FORCE.
AIMED AT ILLITERATES
Applicants for Citizenship Must Be
Able to Read and Write English
Heavy Penalty Provided for Court
Clerks Who Make Errors or DAM
age Papers.

Any alien not in possession OF
his naturalization papers would bet
| ter procure them before September
| 27 On that day the new law enacted
| by congress goes into effect and the
| formalities in the issuing of second
papers will not be so simple as under
the present law. That the new law
is principally aimed at the illiterate
foreigners from the southern sections
of Europe is shown by the fact that
every applicant for second papers
must be able to read and write the
| English language. Instead of 81 the
papers will cost from Sc to $40, as
the applicant must also pay witness
fees. The witnesses must swear I'M
der oath as to the reputation OF the
person making application. Tne
money for the papers and fees must
be deposited beforehand with the
clerk of the court in which applica-
ton is made. Applicants for citizen
ship are required to hand the names
of the witnesses to the court clerk in
| the event they do not appear The
|
nesses, and the expenses are charged
to the applicant.
A Drastic Law.
The new law is drastic in every
respect and exceedingly inconvenient
and humiliating to the person desir-
ing to become a citizen of Uncle
! Sans domain Application must be
made three months before the papers
are issued and during that time the
name of the applicant will be posted
in the Office of the clerk of the court.
| Another feature of the new law is
that no papers shall be issued 80 days
prior to an election. The law does
not come into conflict with the issu-
ing of the first papers, the nature of
that procedure being under the juris-
| diCtion of each state.
Limited to Certain Courts.
When the new law is in effect
naturalization papers can only be pro-
cured in federal courts and courts of
unlimited Jurisdiction. This excludes
| the municipal court. Persons making
application for papers must reside in
the district in which the court is situ-
ated. For instance, the circuit court
| has jurisdiction over Dane and Sank
counties and the federal court over
the western district of Wisconsin.
Until the law goes into effect papers
will be issued in the municipal court.
Big Penalty for Errors.
Clerks of courts will be und n
heavy responsibilities. The papers
will be furnished by the bureau of Ia
Dor and naturalization at Washington
and each must be accounted for. If
paper is damaged the clerk shall be
subject to fine of $50 For making
certain errors in filling out the papers
the penalty is a fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment of five years.
Many Yet UnnaturaIized.
1t is believed that there are from
1000 to 5000 residents of foreign
birth in this country who nave not
yet their naturalization papers.
Some have procured their first papers
20 or more years ago and have neg
lected to make application for full
citizenship. 1t will be well for those
who have failed to get their second
papers to do so before September 81.
Until that time they will cost only ST..
