All Railroads Lead Here

The opening of the line from Bruns- wick to Talladega shows how speedily that long road is being built despite flurries and mix-ups. The money is in hand and the road is to be opened to Birmingham when roses bloom again. The importance of a line over 400 miles long to this district can scarcely be oyerestimated. If fairly demands a Greater Birmingham, for road of it's length coming straight from the sea cannot reasonably be expected to seek as a terminal small town.
 It is difficult to say which is of greater importance, the coming of the line from Brunswick or the coming of the Illinois Central. Both are pros perity breeders. Both mean a great deal in the way of trade and develop ment Both are long, rich, and aggres- sive Both will seek and secure a fair and just share of the districts ton mage. Both will bring here more peo- ple helping in that way to make this city the chief railroad center of the south.
 Nor should the coming of the Mobile and Ohio be overlooked or ignored. It, too, has a great trackage, extending all the way from Mobile to the heart of the Mississippi valley. Our railroad system would be incomplete without the Mobile and Ohio-with it we have secured all there is to secure in the great southeast. Our future conquests will have to relate to the bringing in of trans-Mississipp systems, and we have already made a good start in that direction The Rock Island and the Frisco have big mileages west of the river, and so has the Illinois Central. But there are the Gould system and the Santa Fe, and the Glover Leaf and the Texas and Pacific. and perhaps the development of this district may in- duce a dozen other roads in the great southwest to come here to secure a percentage of the heaviest tonnage known in the south.

Twin Extra Sessions

Louisiana and Alabama are the two states of the union that are at present indulging in extra sessions. Neither felt that it could afford to await the converting of a regular session, and so Governor Blanchard and Governor Co., mer proceeded to call extra sessions, each naming a list of subjects to be acted on. While the Louisiana extra session will grapple with high fees of officials and with state banking methods, the Alabama extra session will tackle railroad regulation, prohibi- tion. and compulsory education.
 Both extra sessions are endeavoring to finish the work they respectively have in hand in a week or ten days, and, judging from the earnest efforts thus far put forth, both extra sessions may go out of existence and into his tory next week.
 It is to be hoped the Alabama extra session will not be in such hurry to adjourn that it cannot find time to consider Representative Samuel Will Johns bill prohibiting the sale of any pistol in this state under 24 inches long. Senator Lusk stands behind a similar bill in the senate. The legisla- ture can prevent bloodshed and spare to usefulness valuable lives by turn ing these excellent bills into laws.

Tennessee, and the matter is not set tied, Judge Richardson to the contrary notwithstanding. It will not be settled until a survey is made, and there is no reason why Judge Richardson or any other Alabamian should oppose a sur vey of the proposed canal route. Let the facts be officially brought out. An official report will show whether or no the proposed canal is chimerical, and Judge Richardson should not expect his unsupported statement to that ef- feet to be fully accepted. lThe canal may not seem to be simply chimeri- cal" in the light of official facts and figures. The haste and desire to pro- cure water rates should not lead to any undue suppression of official informa- tion.

NEW GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY

From the Louisville Times.
 Augustus D. Wilson, the governor elect of Kentucky, has been prominent in republican politics in Kentucky since 1884. when he became a candidate for the state senatorship against Albert s. Willis in the district between Fifth and Shelby streets. He was at that time the law partner of Gen. John Harlan, now of the United States supreme bench. He was the nominee of his party for Congress in 1886, in 1888 and 1892. and served as a delegate to the republican national con- .vention in 1888. 1892 and 1896.
 The first public service of MT. Wilson was when, as chief clerk of the treasury department for nearly two years, he as- sisted in smashing the whisky ring which endeavored to evade the payment of internal revenue taxes This was inn mediately after he had been admitted to partnership with General Harlan, in 1874, and when he was 2S years old. Before this he had studied law for four years with the firm of Lathrop, Bishop & Lin coin, in Boston, Mass, and with the firm of Harlan & Newman in Louisville after his graduation from Harvard university in 1862
 MT. Wilson was born at Maysville, Ky, October IS, 1S46, of New England Baptist parents, who emgrated overland to Pitts burg, Pa, and thence to Kentucky in 1S45. In 1852 the family moved to Gov ington and thence to New Albany Ind. After his fathers death the family went with his oldest brother, Forsythe Will son. one of the most favorably known of the early minor poets to Cambridge, Mass. where MT Wilson remained until 1870, when he returned to make his home in Louisville. He was married in 1877 to Miss Mary Ellln, daughter of Gen. James A. Ekin, of the quartermaster's department of the United States army, and one child was born to them, who died in infancy.
 While Mrs. Wilson has been decidedly opposed to her husbands re-entrance into politics and tried to persuade him not to work for his nomination, she is much interested in the charitable institutions of the state. and will undoubtedly use her influence for the betterment of condi- tons in this direction.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.
Unsettled Times.

Tt almost makes me mad when think of what a progressive and prosperous city Birmingham was 12 months ago." said business man. "and now every thing is out of joint and every one is standing on street corners asking each other whats going to happen next
 One man asks how prohibition will affect the city, another wants to know if there's truth in the rumor that a large number of men have been laid off by certain companies, and a third inquires if railroad Legislation is likely to re- duce the cost of living and how much. All these matters, and a presidential election coming on next year, are cal culated to unsettle peoples minds and thereby njure business
 Take the case of Bessemer and it's new license schedule. The price of com modites must necessarily increase and in conjunction with the increase in cost of living comes a reduction in salaries. Here is complete disarrangement of the whole economic condition of things which upsets calculations based upon definite understandings. The difference of B a month in a mans salary may be Just the ulHerence Nnlcn MT. MlcdWDef says exists where the annual expendi- ture is sixpence more than the annual income.
 "The letter which H. J. Davis writes to the editor of The Age-Herald this morning should claim the attention of our legislators and public men. If such appeals that are disregarded it is be- cause men have lost their reason in the mad rush of reform. If reform can be accomplished without ruin, well and good, but as MT. Davis points out, it is thousands of hard-working, industrious citizens with homes half paid for and failure to pay further means loss of | all, that shudder at the prospect of troub- lous times such as follow those great waves of reform.
 Political battles are very much like military battles, the chiefs seldom get hit but the poor fellow in the ranks | is the one who wears the scars, and that's what Is likely to happen right here if this battle is going to last much | longer"

Below Freezinq Point

From the summery heat of last Sat urday to the snow and icy chilliness of Monday involved drop in the mer- cury in the termometer tube of over 40 degrees. This brought to us the first sensations of winter We have no reason to complain, however, be- cause the entire eastern half of the country is similarly afflicted The cold wave is broad and wintery, causing a retreat to the nearest grates and to wraps.
 Low temperatures are apt to occur at this season of the year, but they do not come to stay long. At Medicine Hat they come at this season to stay until June, but in this latitude and section they are temporary sojourners only. They soon pass by to go out to sea- where no record of them is kept.
 The present cold wave is not a No Vember record breaker, Tor the temper ature in 1894 in this section fell to 21 degrees, and on November 21, 1887, a temperature of 16 degrees was re- corded. Weather that brings a record of 16 degrees brings calls for the plumbers also.
 The chances are that the cold wave will hurry eastward from this section today, and that by tomorrow condi- tions may be favorable for re-estab- lishment of real Indian summer weather The possibilities in that di- rection in this section are by no means exhausted.

TEETH IN THE ARMY.

From the Washington Post.
 There are not enough dental sur geons in the army or the navy and to remedy this condition legislation will be asked of Congress during the coming winter; efforts also will be made to provide that these surgeons should be given rank, just as the doctors are,' said William II. Longfellow. a Chicago dentist, at the Arlington Hast night. q have forgotten just what the figures are, but there are not half as many as there ought to be. An authority inside the army recently stated that the greater number of diseases among soldiers are brought about by the condition of the teeth The proper mastication of lood and the general health of the mouth has been given little care, with the fNsult that the soldiers. who are naturally care less about such things. go from bad to worse Their mouths become diseased, weakening the digestive and nervous sys- tems and bringing on more serious dis eases. The dentist is the man to pre- vent this. Dental science has progressed a great deal during the past ten years. The methods of filling the teeth and pulling them have not changed so much. but knowledge of the general care of the mouth, on the principle that the healthy mouth is one of the principal factors of keeping the health. has de- veloped considerably. The dentist has become much more than a man who re- lieves the toothache.

Cash to Circulate Again

All thoughtful men approve the ac- ton of our banks in preserving their cash reserves at high figures. This rendered them secure against distrust, and when they are secure, safe and strong, all other interests feel like impulse They acted wisely when they limited cash payments because the great central reserve city-the coun- try's financial heart--refused 10 honor drafts in currency. But the New York banks are now sending out currency freely. and there begins now to be no reason why the local embargo should not soon be lifted.
 The St Louis Globe-Democrat an nounces that the banks of that city will by Thanksgiving remove all re- strictions on the payment of currency to depositors. This they will do if in the meanwhile the monetary condi- tlOnS do not change TOT lne woIse. The chances are the changes will be for the better, for gold engagements continue to be made and the national banks are preparing to issue more cir culation.
 What St. Louis is about to do should be duplicated in this city. Let says the Globe Democrat, "the banks lower their barriers, start money in active circulation again and remove the scare, and this community will have Q Thanksgiving and a Christmas which will recall the joyous and prosperous holidays of 1906 and of previous years" "

Tennessee-to-Gulf Canal

Congressman William Richardson is more scared than hurt. canal be- tween the Warrior and the Tennessee would not drain the latter river dry, unless, indeed, a gravity canal of large proportions be built. It would puzzle Judge Richardson to show how a lock canal would or could take a drop of water out of the Tennessee river and keep it out. Water in the proposed canal would continue to run down hill, and Judge Richardson will not be asked to turn any Tennessee water over to anybody.
 The time will come when the peo- pie of the Tennessee valley will see that the true market for their products is not Paducah, Ky, but this district md the gulf and the Panama canal. When the Panama canal is built they twill see this very plainly. Paducah, Ky, will then be an undesirable mar ket, because of the productive country about it, and there will then go up q demand for the products of the Ten nessee valley from this district and from the gulf that the rich valley will not ignore.
 No survey has been made of canal route connecting the Warrior and the

ANOTHER THEATRICAL KNIGHT

From the New York Times.
 The knighting of British actors threat ems to become a habit. Many years after knighthood was made the easy prey of city men and barrsters, the first actor was honored by the theoreti- cal touch of the sovereigns sword and requested dheoretically) to rise Sir Henry Irving.
 Sir John Hare, who now shares with Sir Charles Wyndham the honor of Eng fish knighthood, has been a good actor, a man of aspirations and refinement His best impersona tions have had the quality of clever water color drawing; they have lacked any touch of greatness. He is a discreet gentleman, man of sympathies, of scholar-like taste, of an ability to keep out of messes and disputes.
 A few years ago he had some trouble with critics" of the baser sort, grow ing out of an obvious carieature in a play he produced of one of them, a cer- tain well-known, red faced, dram-drink- ing, fluent. gifted, and influential writer and journalist. Except for that unfor- tunate incident the current of MT. Hare's career has been smooth.
 A much more aggressive. dominant, and original man in English theatrical is Herbert Beerbohm Tree. So far as the English stage now has a leader, Tree is the man. If the knighthood were re- ward of painstakng, aspiring, untirlng artistics endeavor in the dramatic field it would have gone to F. R. Benson, But the honor has no deep meaning. MT. Hare will wear it with grace and dignity and nobody will be angry,

MIR. DEBARDELEsEN's LETTER.

From the Florida Times-U Union.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald in it's is- sue of November 1, published a strong ad- dress to the people in the shape of a communication signed by H. F. DeBard- eleben showing what the railroads have done to build up the industries of Bir- mingham and are likely to do in the flu ture; depicting the check that eitys ca reer will receive if the legislature per sists in it's anti-railroad legislation and closing with the words; "To my mind the people of Birmingham should call a mass meeting for the purpose of appealing to the legislature to consider well how far they should go in the oppression of the railroads and other industries whose time may come next if the present ad- verse sentiment prevails"
 Before the present generation passes from the stage of action 1t will perceice tho harm that has been done by hostility to the greatest builder of states-the rail road interest MT. DeBardeleben was the leader in the development of the Ala bama mineral district and recalls the struggles through which the early de- velopers of the wonderful mineral re- sources of that state passed. He is no politician but one of Birmingham's chief business men,
 Mr. DeBardeleben says this agitation "has cost the south more than s2o,000,0oo, which the cotton crop would have brought in excess of the price 1t is now bring ing" It is a remonstrance which the Alabama legislature in extra session may

 Judge Samuel r. Greene of this county. is considerably worried over a section of the code which prohibits the recording of records by tyepwriters. He has re- turned from a visit to Montgomery, where he made efforts to have a correc- ton brought about. It is considered probable that the section will be repealed, as the recording of all documents and records with pen would necessitate great expense and great inconvenience.
