SAYS BRYAN
BY ACCLAMATION
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-Anti-centrali-
zation should be the text of one of the
planks of tho Democratic National plat
form in the opinion of Senator James B.
Frazier Of Tennessee.
During the present administration. the
tendency toward Capitalization has been
going on at a very rapid rate, said the
senator to-day.
If this continues the states will become
mere geographical divisions of the CEN
tralzed government. Another plank of
the platform should demand a revision
of the tariff, not in the far Off indefinite
future, nor by those friends Of the pres
ent tariff who would practically not revise
it at all, but by those who believe that the
tariff should primarily be made for rev.
enue purposes only
Il do not think there is any doubt that
Bryan will be nominated by acclamation
He will receive the delegation from Ten
nessee where he is admired because of MS
political views and personal character.

Shin Subsidies

The democratic Senators talked the pigeon-hole. This may have been due to the fact mat it was presented as an opening wedge to vast subsidy sys- tenn that would have been very eX- pensive to the country and very rotten at heart. But the bill as it stood would have been beneficial to the gulf ports, for all the subsidies included in the bill when it was killed were these:
 From the Atlantic ports to Brazil ships of not less than sixteen knots speed monthly service, sSoO0O fortnightly $6OO,- 000
 From a gulf port to Brazil ships of four teen knots speed monthly service, $30O, GOO; fortnightly service, s6oO,O0o
 From an Atlantic port to Argentine ships of sixteen knots speed, monthly service, s4OOO0O; fortnightly service, $S0O.- GOO.
 From a Pacific port to Panama Peru and Chile ships of sixteen knots speed 1loHtHly serNlce, A5UV,Ooos 1ortnlgntly ser vice, s600,000
 The subsidy for ships to Panama from gulf port had been stricken out and so had all the items for lines from Pacific ports to the Orient. The bill as it passed the House carried a maxi mum subsidy of $2,6000O0, and a mini mum subsidy of $1,300,000.
 The bill as it stood when it went 70 the Senate would perhaps have been agreed to if there could have been d binding agreement that would not have been widely extended in the future. It was no doubt the fear of what would be rather than the fear of what the bill actually contained that induced Sena- tor Carmack and his co-workers to talk st to death.

HARTMAN AND HILL
 REACH AGREEMENT

New York, March 1.-The Times will say tomorrow:
 The agreement between James B. Hill and F. II, Hartman regarding the devel- opment of plans which they have worked out for their railroad lines in the Port land region, to which MT. Hartman re- ferred last week while on the stand be- fore the interstate commerce commission, has already resulted in the sale to MT. Hartman by MT Hill of a portion of the Great Northern terminal property at Seat tie.
 MT. Hill himself confirmed the state ment that he had let Mir. Hartman into the Great Northern's stronghold. Asked If an agreement had been reached with Mir. Hartman in the Seattle-P Portland situa- tion, MT. Hill said:
 MT Hartman wanted a portion of the terminal property in Seattle. I put the price on it and MT. Hartman accepted it."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Has Caused Sensation.

'The sinking of the steamship Dakota has undoubtedly caused a tremendous sensation on the Pacific coast,p said Welford Beaton, special agent for the Max F gman company which appears at the Jefferson this week, at the Florence hotel last night. MT. Beason has for some years been a newspaper man in Seattle, Wash. Dakota shared the dis tinction with her sister ship, the Minne- sota, of being the largest freight carriers in the world. They were built by James J. Hill and ran from Seattle to the Orient in connection with the Great Northern and Northern railway systems. They are exceeded in length by two or three of the big Atlantic liners, but no other ships in the world can carry so much freight as the Hill boats They cost over $5,0O0O00 each and the portion devoted to the passengers was fitted up in a most lavish manner.
 "The two big steamers have done much to make Seattle the most important port on the Pacific and the loss of one of them will be a great blow to shipping be- tween this country and the Orient be- sides being a tremendous loss to the underwriting companies. The boats are new, having been on the run but three years and the cargoes they carry are so gigantic that when they first entered the trade we figured out the number of freight cars they could carry by the mile. But there is no use of my telling you how long freight train they could empty-you would not believe me-

 "Gentlemen: I have received your com munication of February 2S, and | feel as all Americans must feel the deepest sym pathy with the starving people in Russia who are suffering under the terrible dis aster of famine Russian has been a good friend to America in the past, and in ad- dition to our general feelings of sym pathy with any portion of mankind we must all feel especially sympathy in this case. It is evident that early aid must be forthcoming to prevent the most far reaching suffering and a dreadful loss of life I am glad that your committee has been formed to solicit subscriptions in this country so as to show in help ful way the deep fellow feeling of our people for the people of Russia in their distress.
 ..I note that you say that you have made arrangements to forward the money you collect as directly as possible to the relief of the sufferers. I earnestly hope that your appeal will not fall upon deaf ears. We. in this country, are now enjoying a period of literally unpreee- dented prosperity. Never before in the history of any nation has the average of material well-being been so high as here in our own land al this time. l take this opportunity of most heartily joining with you in your appeal to our people that out of their abundance they shall generously contribute to those who are in such dire need at the very time the two have such a cause of thanksgiving.

Congress Old and New

The Fifty ninth Congress, dominated by standpatters and other birds of Ill omen, has gone into history. It author ized the building of two Dreadnoughts; passed a liberal rivers and harbors bill, in which an Open Warrior was justly estimated; increased many salaries, in cluding those of Congressmen; granted to the government the right of appeal in criminal cases; seated Reed Shoot, a Mormon; ratified the San Domingo treaty, and settled the San Francisco school incident in an immigration bill And then it adjourned.
 We have now at hand the Sixtieth Congress, although the new Congress will not meet until December unless an impulsive President sooner calls it to- gether.
 Not the least pleasant incident of the new Congress is the beginning of our senior Senator of sixth consecutive term. He first took a seat in the Sen ate on March ,, 1S77 as the successor of Senator George Goldthwaite, and he has held a seat in that illustrious body over thirty years. Two years hence Senator Pettus will begin his third term, which, so he recently said on the floor of the Senatae, he intends to serve out. If he does, he will be 94 years old, and a fourth term would let him round out century of honored and useful years.
 The Senate is full of men who have passed the psalmist's three score years and ten, and these men are among the most useful and influential in that body. MT. Allison of Iowa was born in 1929; Mir Teller of Colorado, in 1880; MT. Frye of Maine, in 1881, and Sen ator White of Maryland, in 1924. Sen ator Morgan was also born in 1924, and Senator Pettus, in 1921. Our junior Senator's life reaches further back into the nineteenth century than that of any of his colleagues, but there is not a Senator, no matter how young he may be, who cares to unnecessarily bring upon himself the yigor and the wit that our veteran of two wars is always ready to expend in debate.

Has Surfeit of Eggs.

Hugh Morrow and Augustus Benner, two local attorneys, returned to Birming- ham last night by the way ofA Tuscaloosa from Centerville, where they have been enfaged in solving a knotty legal prob lem.
 Mr Morrow stated that their client was sued for $1oOOO on the ground that he had killed a man some time ago. The suit was brought by the administrator of the deceased. When the defendant was tried for killing the man he pleaded guilty to homicide in the second degree, . stated MT. Morrow "The hardest things that l experienced in defending him In the damage suit was this plea of guilty in the former suit"
 After reaching Tuscaloosa, however, MT. Morrow received a telephone message to the effect that the Jury returned verdict in the defendants favor.
 "I am exceedingly glad to get away from Centerville," stated MT. Morrow. "I am tired of answering the question, How do you want your eggs? "

The Culture Side.

'It is surprising to me that Birming- ham with it's wonderful commercial and social activities does not do something to foster music" said David A. Montag- non of New York, who is now stopping at the Hillman q have visited nearly every large town in the south, and With few exceptions I have found music loV- CTS organized for the purpose of securing high class musical attractions. Even Montgomery, formerly known as lacking in musical enterprise has come to realize the importance of encouraging great art ists, and beginning with the spring season will have a number of fine entertain- ments. Selma, Marion and towns of that class. are even ahead of Birmingham in musical way
 An important educative work is being done in Birmingham under the auspices of the lyceum management. l understand that Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent Of public schools looks after the lyceum course Whoever 1t was who organized this movement deserves the thanks of the community. This may be commercial age. but the culture side must not be neglected The good that results from first class lecture course cannot be l overestimated
 with reasonable amount of co-opera- tion on the part of music lovers, an asso- citation could be formed and maintained i that would provide for the appearance here of a number of great attractions every season. Atlanta, Nashville and Rich mond are among the wide-awake cities l in the south from a musical point of view. Birmingham should really take the 1 lead"

Work of the Legislature

Saddened by the death of the Speaker of the House, the legislature will meet tomorrow possessed of the feeling that it has worked industriously to serve the state. No previous legislature has passed so many bills of general na- ture affecting in one way or another every person in the state. Some of those measures are drastic, and some of them are tentative, and perhaps the people will desire a session two years hence for the purpose of modifying or repeating the laws passed by this leg islature that prove hurtful to the prog ress and advancement of the people. The democratic state convention held last year demanded those measures, and Governor Conner demanded, there fore, at least an experimental test of them. They are or soon will be on the statute book, and Alabama will now proceed to assimilate them, if that be possible.
 The legislature has grappled with our educational needs, the railroad prob lem and liquor question. all three of which are always with us. It increased, too, the pensions of the old soldiers of the state. These bills call for large sums of money, and so revenue bills to meet him were passed. Governor Conner is confident no deficit will oc- cur. Between intangible assets and the new tax commission he expects a revenue that will keep the treasury full despite increased appropriations par tcularly for educational purposes.
 The legislature has done many things that will prove helpful. It provided for representation at Jamestown, and it passed an immigration bill. The latter is not as liberal and broad as it might have been made, but it will answer, perhaps, especially if it be admins tered vigorously.
 The members will go home to think over what they did and what they did not do, and they will gather again in Montgomery in July to pass, not only the codes, but also to supplement eX- peditiously the work already done. All must agree in saying that it has been an industrious legislature. It will stand in the political history of the state as legislature memorable beyond, per haps, any preceding legislature since 1919, except, possibly, the one that made secession possible.
