THE RACES
Grand Circuit Results.

Detroit July 25.-Tenight's sun set on the greatest renewal of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers stake ever trotted. The most Remarkable exhibi- tion of speed ever known on the light harness turf was won by Sonoma Girl on her courage and speed and stamped herself the feetest of her sex on parts of the Journey, if not for whole mile when the supreme test comes later in the season.
 A threatening morning was followed by an overcast afternoon but the clouds gave way to July brightness during the race and the track was lightning fast. High Ball $64 and the field $25. When they scored the first time Sonoma Girl was on the run. jumping and fighting as though mad and sour. Time and again she acted badly and there was wild scramble among the betters

Springer pulled her second new record for the stake and the worlds record for a green mare.

Atlanta and Savannah

The appeal of Atlanta addressed to
Savannah is pitiful. The telegraphic
prayer for help is signed by ]. Wylie
Pope, president of Atlanta's chamber
of commerce, by Joseph A McCord,
chairman of its oyerworked clearing
house committee, and by Joseph
Hirsch, chairman of its city council.
Here is what they say:
"Georgia's chances for sub-treasury
now trembling in the balance. Birming
hams influence stronger than anticipated.
If Savannah now believes chances less
favorable than prior to the hearing be-
fore the ways and means committee, Sa-
vannah and Georgia should be good
enough to throw all their influence both
locally and politically in Atlanta's favor.
We believe that If this is done at once
that together with the steps we are now
taking we will be able to land the sub
treasury. prompt reply will be appre-
cated'
Savannah replied in substance that
it would see Atlanta hanged first.
"The argument" says the Savannah
News, that was advanced by Atlanta
in its own behalf may be good for some
things, but not for a ubtreasury."
The committee to whom Atlanta APP
Dealed said in reply: I'VE have rea-
son to believe Savannah's chances for
the sub-treasury stronger than ever
and firmly believing its location here
would be of greater benefit to the pub
lie than elsewhere we certainly would
appreciate it if you would help US"
Atlanta's reply had not been filed when
The Age-Herald went to press.
The Savannah News very truthfully
says that the money to make harvest
and market crop in the southeast is
largely provided in its city. The sub
treasury matter, Savannah folks think,
may become in the last analysis race
/ between Sayannah's natural strength
and Birmingham high financial rank,
centrality and outlook, with Atlanta
no longer in the running.

clauses. What we need is live en-
forcable law. and officers should be
named whose duty it shall be to en-
force it.
The age limit of child employment
in the Pratt bill is fourteen, with a
provision that children who have to
support themselves or INDECENT par
ents may be employed when twelve
years old. But all children employed
must have gone to school twelve weeks
in each of six successive years. The
law is to be enforced in all industries
alike This is all right, except that
possibly the minimum age of employ
ment should in the cases of girls be
sixteen years. So runs the Massa-
chusetts law, and Alabama might be
equally mercifu1.
But the important thing to be Sc
cured is enforcement. A farcieal aca-
demic bill is not wanted. One that
means business should be presented,
passed and put into full operation, the
sooner the better.

IMAGINATION IN CRIMINALS.

From the New York World,
Great adventuresses have always had
great imagnations. Compare familiar
historical instances with the case of
the girl thief who calls herself Margaret
Maiard. In this young woman, whose
operations the New York police have
halted for a time, work impulses like
those which made a Cassie Chadwick in
America and a. Therese Humbert in
France. But impulses are governed in
their effects by measures and qualities
of mind
The Humbert woman had the magma
ton of master novelist, with the execu-
tive enterprise of a chief of financers,
Her thought and energies were concen-
trated on things to be done and emer-
gencies to be overcome. Standardization
was only as the instrument of her own
large plans. In the detail of her schemes
she showed marvellous skill
Margaret Maillard's exploits, in eX-
IRENE contrast with those of this moving
genius of crime belong in the sphere of
cheap melodrama, Her Ideas are clothed
in fustian. She plans her stage with her.
self In the center of 1t. Thus wounded
thief has tried to kill himself with her
pistol: she awaits at the morgue in New
York the recovery of the body of some
man with money in his clothes whom she
may claim for fother she is found in
Macombs Dam park bound and gagged,
her plan being to accuse some chance per-
sons Of assault and collet backmail for
not pushing her complaint.
These are crude, roundabout plottings.
Meaning to be ingenious, the girl has
proved herself stupid fraud. Her per-
sistence in such departure from the
N1saff % 49,.
makes her case an interesting one in the
psychology of crime.

LARGE Banking.

las large as Atlantas banking business
is. Blrmingham's is much larger said
an old banker. Birmingham does not
make big showing in clearing house
figures as compared with Atlanta. Meth
err does Atlanta make anything nike The
showing in clearngs that Richmond
city no larger than Atlanta, makes. But
The Age-Herald' recently pointed out
the volume of clearing house business is
misleading. and is never a fair index OF
the financial transactions of a COM
munity.
ITO arrive at correct idea of a city's
financial strength look up banking cap
ital bank deposits and the combint1
total transactions of the banks in a given
the seven banks in the Atlanta clearing
house during the year 1906 amounted to
about one billion dollars, whereas one
bank in Birmingham starts off the year
with total transactions averaging $780,
600 a day. AT that rate the total transac-
lions of that bank would be in year as
much as the total transactions of all the
banks i'm Atlanta combined. And as tho
business OF this single bank is only about
90 per cent of the business done by all
the seven banks in the Birmingham
clearing house. it is seen that the CON-
bined transactions this year will be some
thing like two billion dollars 1t Is rea
sonable to suppose that Atlanta banks
Will show an increase In 1907, but the
amount will not be anything like two BIZ,
lion dollars"

Iron Production

The production of the coke and an
thracite furnaces rose in December to
2,236,153 tons, the largest monthly pro-
duction in the entire history of the
American iron industry. The produc
ton in November was 2,187 $50 tons.
The new record does not promise, how
ever, to stand long. 1t may be exceeded
this month.
The figures for December together
with an estimate covering the charcoal
furnaces. enables the Iron Age to put
the years production in this country
at 25,350 600 tons. The variation from
this in the full and final report will be
small. The production five years be-
fore was but 15,S7S,354 tons. The gain
since 1901 has been about 60 per cent,
and like gain in the next five years
would carry production to 1851 900
tons in 1911.
Alabama produced five years ago
1,225,S12 tons. Possibly the production
of 1906 will go to 100000 tons. Our
gain may be 40 per cent as against a
gain of 60 per cent in the entire coun-
try. We have not kept step with the
procession in the last five years, but
the indications are that we will do bet
ter in the coming five years. We hope
TO march abreast of the other districts
In the future.

Child Labor Bills

The present Legislature is not cor
poration ruled and it should not be
boss ruled. 1t should above all things
protect the defenceless. 1t should be
humane, and The Age Herald has full
faith it will be. Bills are already before
1t for the protection of the helpless
children of Alabama, and no doubt a
wise result will come from those bills.
The bill presented by President
Pratt of the Alabama Cotton Manufac-
turers' association is pretty good bill
provided ii contains sections that will
render it operative. An academic bill
on child labor is yalueless because it
will not enforce itself against COM
bine of mills and mines. bill is
needed that will be enforced-one of
fines and penalties with officers
named to carry it into effect. Alabama
now has a child labor law, but it was
passed to become dead INTER and it
has fulfilled, nobly fulilled\ all ex-
pectations. 1t contains no operative
