CHAMPION OF THE HEN
Chicago Alderman Introduces
Ordinance Fer Her Welfare.
OTHER FOWLS ARE INCLUDED

How Constituents Wife Would Insure
Them Comfortable Quarters and
Wholesome Food-Chickens Not to
Run at large-No Garden Diet.
Texas Will now please climb into the
back row.
When southern chivalry in the Lone
Star State demanded that the sheets
In sleeping car berths should be Of
sufficient length to ward Off chilblains,
Texas jumped to the front rank in
freak legislation.
The other night an earnest soul from
the voting precincts Of West Pullman
sent chicken, goose and turkey ordi-
nance to the Chicago city council
which makes the Texas sheet ordi-
nance look as If it had been left in
the laundry tubs until it was mill
dewed, says the Chicago Record
Herald.
Alderman Bihl, father Of the "cow
ordinance" who is nothing If not ac-
commodating, introduced the measure
on behalf Of Lucius O. Wilson of 1853
Lasalle street. Mr.. Wilson writes
that his wife wants it passed. The
members Of the council sent it to the
Judiciary committee.
The chicken ord4Hnce may lay on
the committee table. 1t may hatch
trouble. The members may be egged
on Until they decide to vote its pas
sage, but none Of them would come
out Of his shell and say so. However,
If it Is passed Mr.. Wilson can crow
over the victory while peace roosts
over his household.
First and last the chicken ordinance
is intended to protect the clucking hen
and the boastful rooster. 1t provides
that all raisers of chickens shall pro-
vide their domestic charges with
proper food, water, sand and gravel.
Therefore If the chickens want to 60
into the street paving business they
will have most Of the materials sup
piled them. The chickens are also to
be allowed sufficient breathing space
and are to be surrounded by q wire
netting which will keep out cats, rats,
the sly mink and other animals which
like to prey upon them.
Furthermore, 1t is duly set forth
that any person who is now raising
chickens or who desires to engage In
the business shall apply to the COM
missioner of health for permit. The
commissioner is to have an assistant
who knows more about chickens and
eggs than the chickens themselves. He
has to go out and look over the ground
before a permit can be issued. If the
chickens look as If they were to have a
kind master or mistress and home
supplied with all comforts, If not lux
uries, then the permit is granted.
The chickens, according to the ordi-
nance, are not to be allowed to run at
large. They are allowed to run and to
grow large, but not at the expense Of
neighbours garden. Mr.. Wilson is
enthusiastic over his ordinance He
says that the newspapers will COM
ment favorably on it. He writes to
the members of the council that the
headlines in the papers will run along
the following lines: "a Touch of HUI
mainly Makes theWhole World Akin"
or they may be less artistic and sim
ply read, "a Boost For the Chickens"
Or Council Saves Chicks" which will
probably fit better

No Race Suicide in Russia.


Russia has the highest birth rate, the
figures being 40 per 1000 of the popula-
ton. But against this 1t has also the
highest death rate, which STANDS at 81
per l 900 of the population.
The lowest birth rate is possessed
by France, the births averaging only
21 per 1000 of the population, and when
the fact that its death rate is as high
as 1876 per 900 is considered the small
increase in the total population shown
above is explained.
Spain, Italy, Austria, Hungary and
Japan all have birth rates of more than
32 per 1000, but their death rates are
equally high, the lowest of the group
being Japan, with a rate of 20 per
900, and the highest Spain. with a
rate of 25.S per 1000.
The lowest death rate is that pos
sessed by Denmark, where 1t stands at
1919 per 1000, and as the Danes have a
birth rate of 2S.5 per l 600, their posi-
ton is an enviable one.
most favorable so far death rate is
concerned-f65 per f,060-but its birth
rate has steadily fallen to 27.6. Cen

The winning Issue.

In an interview in Washington the
other day Senator Bacon said that the
two things that should stand first in
the Democratic national platform are
tariff revision and opposition to CEN
That is the right kind of talk. IT
has the good "old time religion" sound
about it.
OF course there should and will be
other things in the platform, but the
time has come when some organized
body of men should stand together
and make the old Democratic fight
ton and for a revision of the tariff on
Democratic lines. The Republicans,
many of them, are coming to see that
their party has gone too far on these
lines Taft has announced that the
tariff should be revised by 'its friends, "
the Republicans; that no party can sue
coed that does mot stand for a revision
Is this not a Democratic opportuni-
ty? No party can reform itself. The
only way to reform is to beat the Re-
publican party at the polls.
A great many Republicans are also

Is this not also another Democratic
opportunity? The way TO check the
imperialism of Roosevelt is to beat the
Republican party. But Bryan cannot
win. He does not stand for the Dem
ocratic idea On these questions He
is a weak brother on the question OF
the tariff, and he Is pretty nearly as
much of an imperialist as Roosevelt.

MILLS ARE IMPROVED
MR.. BALDWIN INSPECTS PLANTS

He Reports That Cotton Mills Are
Equipped with Modern Buildings

Baltimore, May 31-(SpeciaL) Sum

Gently made a tour of inspection of a
number of cotton mills in the Pied
mont section of the Carolinas and
Georgia. and is much impressed with
the wonderful advancements in most
every line of business, but especially
In tina cotton mills and in municipal
improvements. In an iterview with
The Maufacturer's Record this week.
he SAYS:
'.All of the mills more recently
erected are equipped with modern
buildings. with houses and grounds
surrounding them. the latter being at
tractively laid off. The mill villages
everywhere are being greatly improv-
ed, having streets well paved and
lighted and with sidewalks in most
cases equal to those found anywhere.
New residences and stores are to be
noted in all of them. All of the mills,
as far as my observation ied are being
run successfully. intelligently and in a
most up-to-date manner. The average
equipment of the Southern cotton mills
today in the way of buildings and ma
chtnery, is higher than that of North
ern mills, this being due 70 the fact
that the buildings CONSTRUCTED at a
later date have embodied in them the
very latest improvements and are de-
6hco the 1loSI
while what l have said refers es-
pecially to the cotton mills. so far as
my observation extended II applies to
every class of industry. Most of the
labor for the cotton mills. heretofore,
was drawn from native help, but ow-
ing to the high price obtained for cot
ton they are staying on the plantations
and have no incentive to work in the
cotton mills. number of the mills
now send wagons to the mountains be-
yond and bring back laborers for their
and are educated to work in the mills.
The mills are also doing much to bet
ter the surroundings of their employees,
and many of them appropriate money
to supplement the regular school funds
SO that the schools may be kept open
for the full term. They also provide
Fairgrounds. baseball grounds and as
sist their employees in either building
union churches or denominational
churches. while public halls are built
for entertainments and such purposes.
Some of the mills are operating saw
ings banks as community interest to
enable their employees TO save their
wages and purchase their own homes.
Taken altogether the section
through which I have travelled is
broadening and improving in a won
derful way, and there is every evidence
there that not only will this prosper

greater results will be accomplished
along all lines"

AT JACKSONVILLE
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL CLOSES
ITS YEAR
Fine Address To Graduating Class By
John ID. McNeel, Of Tallndega.
Professor Daugetfe Awards
Diplomas.

Jacksonville, May s1-(special)-
Commencement Exercises of the State
Normal School came to a close with
an address to the graduating class py
John D. McNeel. of Talladega.
Sixteen diplomas were awarded. The
list of graduates is as follows:
Misses Mary Andrews, Laura Waites

ton Payne, Jessie Irwin and Mrs. ELL

Short address by President c. w.
Daugette, and delivery of diplomas.
Song-"God Be With You Till We
Meet Again.
Benediction-Rev. W. r Allen.
Professor Daugette, in awarding d.
plomas to the graduating class made a
most appropriate address In the
course of his remarks he recounted the
history of the school for the past sew
en- years, which shows a most as
tonishing. as well as most gratifying,
condition.
He said:
Seven years ago. in the year 1900.
the State Normal School at Jackson
Vile received from the State an an
nual appropriation of $4,000. At that
time it had in the Normal Department
only twenty-five students, and among
these there was not a single boarder
from abroad. These, with the Train
ing School, constituted nothing more
than a local high school. The State
increased the appropriation to $500,
and conditions improved. Again the
State increased the appropriation to
$4,000, and the school continued to
grow and broaden. Next year the
school will get from the State s15.-
000 and will continue to grow in num-
bers and enlarge it's scope In 1900
the school faculty consisted of five
people. Now the faculty consists of
fifteen people. From twenty-five Nor
NAL pupils in 1900, we have grown to
400 Normal pupils. 375 of whom are
from abroad, only twenty-five being
residents of the town. In the Train
ing School there are ITS pupils"
From this 1t can be seen how rapid
ly the school has grown under the d.
rection of President Daugette, and the
necessity there Is for enlargement of
the building. This, the people of Jack
sonville will attend to, and 1t is con-
fidently expected that the coming ses-
sion will show an attendance Of at
least 500 Normal students.
Mr.. McNeel's address wcs considered
to be one of the most scholarly and
finished ever delivered before a
graduating class of the school.
