Peace on the Pacific

Mayor Schmitz, labor reformer, and
President Roosevelt, strenuous agita-
tor have met and come to terms, and
those terms have to some extent been
put in the new immigration bill, aud
the remainder of the Schmitz- Roose-
velt bargain is to be woven into a new
treaty with Japan, which will be laid
before the next Congress.
The terms are simple. Japanese
coolies are forbidden by the immigra-
ton bill to come to the mainland from
Hawaii or the canal zone, and the Jap
anese government refuses to issue
passports to those who desire to sail
directly to the mainland. 1t is pro.
posed to embody this matter in new
treaty, but in the meanwhile no Japan
ese coolies can come directly to this
country simply because the Japanese
government refuses TO issue passports
Mayor Schmitz, speaking for the San
Francisco school board, agrees to ad-
NIT all children of alien races under
is years of age, who can speak Eng
fish, to the white schools. Special
schools are to be established for the
Japanese who cannot speak English
and for those over 16 years of age.
This settlement will please the Pa.
cic coast; it will placate the Japan
Csc whose feelings had been hurt, and
1t will bring back the dove of peace to
hover over the two great nations that
dominate the two sides of the wide
-ifc ocean.

ia Measures in Csnuress

IL o'clock on Monday week, March
=, ne Fifty-ninth Congress comes to
an end by virtue of legal limitation. 1t
has come in contact with an exceed
ingly active President who does not
hesitate to thrust upon it all sorts of
measures, some of which have tend
ency to break up party lines. No Pres
ident before him ever meddled with
Congressional action as President
Roosevelt does not hesitate to do on
slight provocation.
Not a few of the big measures of the
present Congress owe their success to
the President. He inspired the bill to
prohibit contributions by corporations
TO campaign funds. This bill has gone
TO the statute book, but it is valueless
because ii contains no publicity clause.
Publicity is the only way in which the
rolling up of corruption funds by the
interests" can be prevented. The Pres
ident too, is a big-n man. and an
increase of the navy will be authorized
The immigration bill became neces-
sity because in it had been woven the
settlement of the San Francisco school
Issue. The President put himself di-
rectly behind it, and it went through
s.sh houses speedily. The government.

EXPENSIVE WALL PAPER

were pasted on the walls fourteen years
ago, and 1t is conservatively estimated
that the stamps on the walls, II removed
and placed in salable condition would net
the owner the tidy sum Of $4,000.
Therefore, if Mr.. King would weary of
his costly decorations and desire to con-
vert his expensive wall paper into cash,
he would find himself possessed of a COM
Portable fortune by reason of the fact
that his "philatelic' treasure have been
where he could not sell them. Thus is
presented the curious spectacle of the
most beautifully decorated room in the
world adding annually to the wealth of
the owner through the increasing rarity
of the paper of which the decorations are
composed.
This is, perhaps, no more surprising
than the statement of stamp collectors
that a person may accumulate a collec-
ton of stamps during the year 1907, lay
1t away and forget it, and in 1915, and
probably in 1912, 1t will have doubled in
value; in fact, it is not infrequent for
stamps to quadruple in value in a single
year, and a decline in value is almost
unheard of. A shrewd financier of New
York who has followed stamp collecting
as a recreation since boyhood, declares
that stamps are a better investment, to
say nothing of the pleasure OF collecting.
than diamonds of equal value.

too, will gain no doubt the right to
appeal law points in criminal cases.
The Presidents Algeciras treaty was
ratified, and it is said the Dominican
treaty is to be ratified in order to pre-
vent the calling of an extra session.
All these are important measures, and
it cannot be said that the President has
scored an entire failure in any meas
ure upon which his heart had been set.
A great many bills will, however, be
left on the calendar, including the
child labor bill, the national licensing
of corporations, the reduction Of import
duties on Philippine products brought
into the United States, the abolition of
the right of injunction in labor cases,
the forest reserve bill, the bill to
change the rates of postage and classi
fication of seeond-class matter, the
ship subsidy bill, and the bill limiting
the working hours of railway employees.
1t is remarkable that the short ses
sion found time in which to pass as
many general laws as it did, and it is
but fair to say that it would not have
done SO if the President had not ex-
erted his power and influence in favor
of the measures he desired to see
placed on the statute book.

Dirt Road Building.

81 see that the board of county COM
missioners of Limestone county has called
an election to be held in a few weeks
to decide on the issue of $4,000 bonds to
build dirt roads," said q Birmingham man
who is interested in the good roads move
ment
1.-THE commissioners of Limestone coun-
ty have promised the people that il they
will authorize the bond issue that a good
percentage of the net proceeds from the
Athens dispensary will be appropriated to
the road fund.
"Since the building good dirt roads will
be of great benefit to the business in
terests of the city of Athens. the business
men of that place are showing willing
ness to assist in the matter and it is
believed that the scheme will be carried
through without difficulty.
'"rhis is a good more on the part Of the
people of Limestone, and 1 hope to SEQ
the example followed by other counties
in the state.
"a good roads measure of merit is now
before the state legislature, and has a
good prospect of final passage with a few
amendments, but its advocates do not
hope to secure all they are asking for
at the present time, but they hope to
make a beginning that will result in much
better things in the future. The bill pro-
provides for state aid by which the several
counties are to receive assistance in build
ing good roads. The county must do its
part and the example set by Limestone
is a fine indication of what may be and
what should be done"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Central Park improvements.

Central park, lying just west of the
fair grounds on the North Bessemer car
line, represents possibly the most lavish
expenditure for Improvements on any
suburban property in the Birmingham
district" said gentleman yesterday,
who watches the development in the dis
trict closely.
Thousands of dollars IS being spent
on this property in advance of its being
put on the market and the result is mar
velous A regular system of wide streets
and avenues is being graded and sup
piled with cement cutters. Cement side
walks are being laid throughout the
tract and the appearance is very attrac-
tive.
This section has not only the advantage
of being near two good car lines, but is
also on one of the county trunk sewers
and is supplied with city water and cleo
trio lights.
1.-THE development of this property is
leading to the development of other
tracts still further out the line toward
Bessemer. which promises to result in
the early settlement of the entire territory
between Birmingham and Bessemer."

Another Battleship

This Congress during its first session
authorized the building of battleship
of the Dreadnought type, and the naval
appropriation bill that passed the
House last Friday also authorizes the
building of a second Dreadnought, or
something still larger. The vote in
favor of building a second big battle
ship was 146 yeas and ia nays.
Mr.. Burton led the opposition to
big navy. He did this in the interest
of peace and the limitation of arma-
ments, and he put up good fight. In
the course of the debate he granted
five minutes of his time to Oscar I'm
derwood, and our representative pro-
ceeded at once to pour hot shot into
the big-navy idea. He believes that
we have now a navy large enough to
repel any attack, and he does not think
we should build offensive instruments
of war. He favors all needful defense,
and he arraigned the government for
seeking weapons of offense rather than
of defense. He caused to be read an
article showing that the British gov
eminent is organizing a submarine
flotilla for defensive purposes, and the
implication was that a similar policy
should be adopted in this country.

Coal and Iron

While Alabamas coal production last
year was about 100000 tons less than
it was the year before, it would have
been several hundred thousand greater
than it was in 1906 but for car short
age in this district. Year before last
was the record-breaker, the output
totaling nearly 100000 tons. The
production In the first half of 1906 was
at the rate of nearly 100000 year
and 1t was believed last summer that
the state mine Inspectors report for
the twelve months ending December
81, would show fully 100000, for
considerable development work at the
mines was in progress and the demand
for coal was steadily increasing. Only
the car trouble kept the output down.
Still larger mining development is
now under way and the coal market is
more active than ever. 1t only remains
for the railroad companies to furnish
the cars for Alabamas production to
exceed 100000 this year.
Alabama's iron production showed
an increase last year, but it did not
keep up in percentage of gain with
