Naming Legislative Measures.

"The practice of naming legislative measures after their authors may be very flattering to the legislators, but it is very confusing to the people, said citizen "The custom is purely Amer ican and, to say the least, is not good one.
 Why not call the bill under constd- eration in the house or senate by the name it bears on the calendar? l have seen references made to the Spooner bill the Hepburn bill, the Dingley bill and dozens of others and the only one am sure of now Is the Dingley bill. You never hear of a bill in the House of Commons being called after its author, and in fact the majority of the Eng fish people don't know who is the au- thor.
 q consider it a sort of cheap adVer- Using for a man to tack his name onto every legislative measure he introduces. Instead of the Smith, Brown, Jones and Robinson bills, let us have names that convey some idea of the nature and purpose of the bill, so that when we talk of this thing we may do so With out showing our ignorance of such inn portant matters"

SHERMAN A HAPPY MAN.

When General Sherman heard that he was considered as a possible candidate for the Presidency, says Carl Schurz in the November McClures he burst into temper. 'What?'' said he. Do they think am damned fool? am a happy man now"
 When he called himself happy man there was a tone of just exultation in his words He was, indeed. happy man. He had won great renown as a soldier and an immense popularity all over the northern country. This he knew and he thoroughly relished it. All sorts of socie- ties and public organizations had made him their honorary member, and he ap- peared among them as often as he could Whenever he entered a theatre, which he did very often, the orchestra would strike up Marching Through Georgia;' the whole audience would rise and clap their hands, sometimes even singing the tune, hnd his rugged face would fairly glow and beam with pleasure. Every social circle greeted him as most welcome guest, and at receptions and evening parties and other gatherings the pretty girls would come up and Kiss him-and how he did enjoy all this.
 In General Schurz's "Reminiscences there are many delightful stories of this high-struns, Kindly old soldier, as we'll as of Grant, Lincoln, and other great men of a great time, s

Waterways Activity

Congressman Ransdell is president of the national rivers and haroors con gress which is to meet in Washing ton December A. This cogress IS expected to boom waterways III general and a 14-foot channel to Chicago and Minneapolis in particu- lar It will call upon Congress to be broad and liberal in treating internal waterways, and at the same time It may suggest that the work should at first be confined to the great central river
 Alabama should be strongly repre- sented in the Washington convention. Her needs should be plainly presented, an. the possibilities of her rivers clear ly set forth. This state Is willing to bear it's share of the expense of i'm. proving the Mississippi provided a reasonable degree of improvement in other rivers goes along with it. In other words, it wants the Washington meeting to be cooperative and gen eral, and not the boomer of a partic- ular project. A broad policy of water ways improvement would suit Alabama. Let us have to begin with a good deal of national surveying. Let the United States engineers say what projects are feasible and what are not, an1 then definite programme can be mapped out.
 Perhaps it would be good policy to let the convention that is to meet in Birmingham tomorrow select an able delegation to represent Alabama. In that way strong men would have the state behind them. They could speak for Alabama as perhaps a delegation selected in local way would not feel authorized to do. A representative convention can readily determine what steps should be taken in order to promote waterway improvement and activity.

Car Famines and Hard Times

It is difficult to imagine how hard can possibly go together, but that seems to be the situation at Buffalo where there is more wheat than the railroads can move. There is not dis trict in the county in which freight is moved promptly. There are not cars enough. There is a downright scarcity of locomotives, and as for ter minal tracks and even tracks in general there are not enough to meet the transportation wants of the vast general business of the country. And yet they say the times are hard, or at any rate going to be hard.
 The car congestion is so great in New York the pubic service commis- sion of that state has cited the rail ways to show why they do no furn- ish a shipper a car within four days of the filing of request for one, and the railroads propose to answer that they are helpless and have resorted to the embargo" as the only way to provide the maximum of service to the public. By the word embargo" is meant a refusal to accept during given time any shipments of wheat to Lake Michigan points.
 And yet the prices of railroad stocks are "criminally low; the scar city of the currency is felt. and the land is full of predictions of dull times for a short while All this can be, and yet the railroads cannot move the business that Is offered them, and the country is full of great crops. The talk of hard times under such circum- stances seems paradoxical, but we will have to take things as they come along in these strange contradictory days.

SOUTHERN IRON AND STEEL.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 The iron and coal resources of Alabama are among the most important in the world The close association in which they are found in practically unlimited quantities makes the production of iron and of open hearth steel in vast quanti ties possible at cheaper rate than can be realized anywhere else in any country.
 But for reasons based on a general lack of operating capital, these remark able natural endowments have not been developed to the extent that would have been otherwise entirely practicable, and thus 1t is that Alabama has not lo0med up in the forefront of iron producers, As there was good reason to believe should have been the case.
 Very recently much of these iron re-
 sources, which were owned by the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company,
 have come into possession of the Unified
 States Steel corporation, one of the great
 est concerns engaged in iron and steel
 production. The Manufacturers Journal
 of Baltimore, a publication devoted to
 southern industrial development, declares
 that as a result of this change of owher
 ship the world will be assured of the
 development of the iron and steel inler-
 ests of Alabama on a scale commen-
 surate with the natural advantages of
 that state Backed by the vast resources
 in money, brains and energy of the Steel
 corporation, the Alabama district, With li,,NftI n eonI
 and iron, ought to leap forward inlo a
 far more commanding position than ever
 before in the worlds metallurgical affairs. For good business reasons as wei as public policy will compel the Steel cor poration to make the most of the advan- tages of Alabama for iron and steel pro-
 duction.
 recent report of the Tennessee com panys property placed the known iron ore resources of that company at TOO 100 900 | tons and the coal at 1000, GOO 900 tons. This ] is about as much iron orc and several | times as much coal as the Steel oorpora- | ton owned when 1t was organized | Here, as stated by the Record, IS an | endowment of resource in raw material needing but the magic wand of ample l capital to enable Alabama to take its 1 rightful place as one of the fofemost l centers of the worlds iron and stetl pro- | duction. With the Steel corporation own | ing these vast properties in Alabama, it will be reasonable to expect that 1t will carry forward on a much larges scale than the former owners could Possibly | do the fullest utilization of this wealth | of raw material, and the development of the properties of the Tennessee com pany through the entrance into the Ala bama district of the Steel corporation,
 will unquestionably prove of very great advantage to all other iron and coal prop critics in that state. but this special prop erty is only part of the extraordinary mineral wealth of that sectionl of the state, all of which will doubtleys share in the activity of development which is to be experienced in the near future.

His words of cheer and his vigorous example will be sadly missed in Bir- mingham.
 In the ranks of newspaper men he was an organizer whose news instincts were early recognized. To tireless en- ergy he brought an inborn sense of news, and he soon became leader in the newspaper field. Although but 39 years old at the time of his death he was veteran newspaper man, having served 20 useful years in the ranks of newspaper workers. He died in har- ness. As managing editor and vice president of the Birmingham News he was known far beyond the bounds of the state. At home he had host of warm friends. His death will be sincerely deplored, for it will indeed be difficult to fill the place of so good a citizen

Short Cut to inc Coal Fields

The New Orleans Times-Democrat reioices over the fact that the estab- lishment of a barge line from the War rior coal fields to the New Orleans wharves Is assured Charles D. Haines, a New York capitalist, has be- come heavily interested in the plan to carry coal in steel barges of special
 construction down the Warrior and Tombigbee rivers to Mobile bay, and
 thence via Mississippi sound and the
 Lake Borgue canal to New Orleans
 itself. The plans have been carefully laid so that financial furry will in
 no way affect them. They are fully financed
 .'When it is recalled" adds the Times-Democrat, that New Orleans is to a large extent dependent for her coal supply upon the Pennsylvania fields, distant more than 2oOo miles, and that, with the rapidly increasing consumption of the fuel, we are likely to find this supply more or less un- certain as time passes, the advantage of the new connection is manifest. A considerable tonnage of Alabama coal is now brought to this district by rail, but the establishment of a modern barge line would greatly lower trans nortation costs and relieve us of any worry regarding coal supply for many years to come. With the opening of the Panama canal and" the enlarge
 ment of our shipping interests that will naturally follow, the matter Of coal supply becomes highly important. While the distant Pennsylvania fields
 have up to this time served us satis-
 factorily, the Mississippi river afford
 ing an economical avenue of transpor- tation, the proximity of the Alabama
 fields logically pointed the way to !, short cut which now, it appears, is
 about to be taken advantage of. The enterprise appears to be admirably planned and there is every reason to believe that it will prove not only
 profitable to the promoters but of de-
 cided benefit to the port"

Man Never Satisfied.

Just my luck. Here have been pray ing for rain to settle the dust for the last two or three weeks. and now that we have it, look at me- said a muddy looking individual last night. "The dust out my way has been so fierce for the past few weeks that I have sent up one continual prayer, praying that the clouds might gather above us and break. 1 fin- ally got my wish, and a little bit more. Just as l stepped off the car my foot slipped and I sat down in the mud. Can you imagine my discomfort? I had just started out to see my lady love, but I had sense enough to know I would be allowed to remain in her presence with the coating of mud I had picked up, so refrained from going. Now I'm praying for the sun to come out and dry the mud It is always thus. Man is never satis- fed"

STORIES OF THE KAISER

tive side of his character more than when he goes for hls annual holiday cruise along the Norwegian coast At these times he loves to forget that he is greata Emperor, and becomes. in conse- quence, one of the most delightful of comrades. He walks about the deck un- attended, hobnobbing in the friendliest fashion with even the humblest mem bers of the crew; he takes his meals informally with his guests and officers of the yacht, throwing ceremony oyer board, and laughing, chatting and jok- ing-the gayest of the company and when he goes on shore, he pats any dirty little urchn he meets on the head and makes friends of the farmers and peas- ants.
 Another charming feature of the Kaf- ser is that he never forgets an old friend or fails tor greet him in the kindiest manner. T am so glad to see you, Will lie," was his greeting not long ago, just before his train steamed out of Shorn- cliffe to an ex-attache whom he had known in Berlin in his youthful. days. On another occasion, seeing one of his old brother officers in a crowd at Cron- berg, he made his way to him and shook him heartily by the hand, exclaiming 'Ah, my dear R., this Is indeed a pleasure" q never dreamed" the off cer said later, to friend, that his majesty would recognize me. It is many years since 1 saw him, and being Tn plain clothes and in the center of crowd, was little prepared for the recogn- tion.'
 No man living loves fine feathers more than his majesty who is said to have a dozen valets and a wardrobe worth f1O0- 900, and often to change his dress & dozen times day. And yet, in spite of all this splendor, he has been known to dress so shabbly that on one occasion, when returning, dust-covered and weary, from , a long tramp in the suburbs of Berlin, a farmer refused point-blank to give a lift in his cart to so disreputable stranger. Although, too, some of the most splendid palaces in Europe are his, so simple are his tastes that he sleeps on regulation camp bed such as is served out to junior officers in his army. in room the furniture of which would be dear at f10 note.

Honesty In Spots

Charles E. Perkins recently died in Boston. He was formerly presi- dent of the Burlington railroad, but it was not in connection with any railroad that his idea of responsibility and honor was brought out. It ap- pears that when a bank failed of which he was director he contributed $1,000,- 900 out of his own pocket to make the depositors whole. This in spite of the fact that he owned but $10,000 in the stock of the suspended institution and was liable for no more than the amount of his stockholding, and in spite of the further fact that he had been chosen director without his knowledge or consent.
 In speaking of the incident MT Per kins not long ago said: But the fact remains that I did allow the use of my name as a director, and this lEdy nave luhueuCeu SolHo pcioOho eo become depositors Because of that possibility I determined to save the depositors and other creditors from lC T."
 MT. Perkins is dead. He was in life no doubt lonesome in a country of speculative magnates, and it is not believed that he has left any sue cessor of his way of thinking, for no one seems to be handing up a million dollars to make good losses for which there is no legal liability.
 And yet when MT. Perkins was president of the Burlington railroad, it was paying rebates, taking part in the debauching of legislatures, and doing all the other fantastic trcks of the period. It is difficult to see how the sensitive MT. Perkins could have done all this as a railroad president when as a bank director he would let no one suffer loss on his account. He deluded himself perhaps in Thinking that it was his duty in the first in stanco to protect the railroad property confided to his care, whereas in the case of the bank he could not or did not becloud his brain with any delusion. The case is one of psycho- logical interest, and it at least shows how eccentrically the human mind works in different places and under differing circumstances.

COSTLIEST DAIRY SOLD

the waters of Long Island sound, where the owners yachts have won as many vic tories on sea as his prize stock has won on land.
 Several years ago Mir. .willetts decided to go into the dairy business, believing that enough persons would pay suf- fcient high price for milk to make 1t worth while.
 The COW sheds are built entirely of concrete, and are in no wise connected with the feed barns They are big and roomy, we'll lighted. and the walls, sides and ceilings are all cement plastered. The corners are rounded and every day, as soon as the cows are turned out of them, the walls, ceiling and floor are scrubbed down. There is not crack or crevice of any kind in which dust may lodge.
 The dairy is always open to visitors, but one class of persons is strictly barred. That is people afflicted with tuberculosis in any stage Equal care is taken to guard against the milk product being con- taminated with tho germs of any other disease.
 When milking time comes little army of men in white duck suits seize milk ing stools, which have been scrubbed and steamed. Their white duck suits are laundered every day and are used only for milking. The milkmen are provided with bath rooms and must bathe before begin ming to milk. The cows have already been curried and brushed until their coats shine.
 Immediately after the milk is milked into patent buckets which will admit no dust it is taken to the Pasteurizing de- partment, where it is treated and bottled ready for the consumer
 One of MT. Wlletts' employees roughly figures that, counting in the value of the dairy buildings. which cost S500OO0, the cows, which cost from s3O0 to $35O0 each, and all the labor and other expenses, the milk he has sold has cost him about s1O a gallon.
 The piggory has been as much of a model as the dairy, and if MT. Willetts could get about SIS pound for the pork he would come out even on his pigs.
 The chicken farm has been another model one, but until the public becomes accustomed to paying about $35 pair for it's fricasseed spring, MT. Willetts chick en farm will not be productive of profit.
