 The decision of the Supreme Court was as to whether or not the bill was a local or general one, and was made on an appeal from the City Court or Birmingham. which decided that the Po- lice Commission appointed by Govern or Conner was entitled to the powers and ofices prescribed in the recently enacted law.
 The Supreme Court also held that the bill conflicted with the municipal code, which prescribes the conditions of ap- pointment of Police Commissions. and that as this provision in the municipal code Is only effective at the expiration of the terms of office of the incumbents at the time of the passage of the code, that the old Board of Police Commis- sioners of Birmingham shall hold their offices until their present terms expire.

Henry CIay,s Popularity.

The greatest popular idol in a po-
litical sense the country has ever
known was Henry Clay. Only one
other American statesman ever pos
sessed the quality called personal mag
netism to the same extent that he did,
and no other ever had more enthusi-
astic personal following. He was an
aspirant for president from 1924 to
1913, but never reached the goal. He
received 81 electoral votes In 1924, 40
In 1882 and 105 In 1874, but never
enough to elect him. Clay was elected
speaker of the house Of representatives
on the first day Of his term In that
body and was five times reelected. He
was twice elected United States sena-
tor, once unanimously by the Kentucky
legislature, and held several other high
offices. If there was ever popular
idol in the politics of this country, 1t
was Henry Clay, but he could not be
elected Observation-Disclosures Jour-

The Old Plane Tree of Cos.

In the island Of Cos, in the Egian
sea, there stands, jealousy guarded. a
huge plane tree measuring nearly eight
cen yards in circumference. 1t Is sur
rounded by podium, or raised plat
form breast high, doubtless built to
support the trunk of the tree after 1t
had become hollow and weak from age.
The lower branches are still well pre-
served and have been shored up by
pieces of antique columns, over the up
per ends of which the branches have
grown like caps in consequence OF the
pressure Of their own weight Close by
the tree is a solid marble seat, which Is
said to be the chair of Hippocrates. the
father of medicine, and it Is supposed
that he taught the art of healing from
that seat. He was born at>Cos 400 b.
C. This gives clew to the age Of the
celebrated plane tree, which must be
considerably more than 1000 years old.

One reason why Japan cannot
afford to 60 to war at present is
that war would check the remarka-
BILE industrial development that is
now proceeding in that country.
Consul General Miller, stationed
at Yokohama, reports that during
the 20 months endingwith lastFeb-
ruary the capital subscribed to new
companies amounted to 1858 ,574,-
900, while old companies increased
their capital $229,427,365. This
showing is probably more apparent
than real, however, as ''capitaliza-
ton" Of corporations often beals
little relation to the actual amount
of money employed.
OF the new companies organized
the aggregate capitalization ofthe
banks amounted to $17,380,0G0;
cotton mills, $16.676.500; electric
$4,000; mining, $50, 100000; ma
rine, $13,S61, 500; railways, $780,
100000; manufacturers. etc, $751;
9O3, 400; insurance $l6850.O09. and
commercial, etc, S57,650,OC0. The
increase in the old companies was
generally along the same lines
These statistics indicate that ia.
pan is developing its manufactures
at very rapid rate. That she ex-
poets to find a ready market in Chi.
ma is plain. and there are many
signs that. while pretending to
maintain the "open door" she is
creating virtual trade monopoly
for Japan in Manchuria and Korea.
The Increase in banks and ipsur-
ance companies indicates that the
country has quickly recovered from
the effects of the war with kussia
and Is prospecting as never before.
Upto this time most Of the cap
ital for the development of JAPAN
ese industries has come from Amer
lea and England. In fact. it was
American and British gold that en-
abled her to wage the successful!
war against Russia. and no small
proportion of japanese bonds is
held in the United States.
Japan is still under a great load
of debt. which a check to its indus
tries would transform into crush
ing burden. Even if she were so
inclined, she can hardly afford to
go to war with any nation at The
present time.-Baitimore Sun.

general culture in this country.
Indeed it may lie doubtful if any
section of our country can boast so
large a proportion of highly edu-
Gated men and women as the
mountains of West Virginia. The
life is of necessity more simple and
natural, but as Wordsworth has
said,

That the people of the mountain
districts are wanting in refinement
or intelligence, no well-informed
person, far or near, will claim, and

other impressions" to which our
attention is occasionally called.
