DID NOT COUClL THE
new YORK SENATORS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SPRINGS
A SURPRISE TN cBoosiNG a
COLLECTOR.

b WASHINGTON. Dec. G.-The Pres.
lieRt, to the surprise OF the New York
senators. has nominated Edward s..
Fowler to be collector OF the port of
Now York, in the place of Neyndn
n. Stranahan, who resigned on ac-
count Of III health. 1t was with great
reluctance that Secretary Cortelyou
accepted the resignation, and It was
only done upon Mr.. Stranahan's IN.
sistence. In making the appointment
OF Mr.. Fowler the fact was not known
that the name was to be sent to the
senate by Senator Plat. He declared
that he had not been consulted in re-
gard to the nomination. and that he
had not recommended Mr.. Fowler.
But he declared that he did not recon-
mend Mr.. Fowlcr's appointment rs as-
sistant appraiser, the position he has
held for the last IS months, and 1t Is
expected that the President consld.
cred the recommendation for that ap.
pointment sufficient for making him
collector OF the port. The senator does
not expect to oppose the nomination
before the senate, and It is not sup.
posed that Senator Depew will do so
either.
Mr.. Fowler Is an old friend OF Sec.
rotary Cortelyou, and 1t was on his
recommendation that the President
made him assistant appraiser OF the
port Of New York, and his appoint
ment to-day is charged to Secretary
Cortelyou. In speaking about Collec.

the business interests and the business
men Of the port Of New York. He has
recognized both the working force
and Its methods In his department. and
has brought about more work, less
congestion and the minimum in delay
In the examination OF merchandise,
and that he will make good collector

Up To The Senate

The democratic party in Alabama is committed to local option, but not to statutory prohibition, and it is there fore unfair and unparty-like for ex- treme leaders to force on the state a measure which has not been indorsed by the people in general. Every county that wants prohibition can have it, pro. vided a majority of the qualified voters vote for it. And under this local op- tion law most of the counties have voted out the licensed sale of liquor.
 Since local option has worked we'll for prohibition is all the more reason why fair-minded prohibitionists in the senate should be disposed to reject the Carmichael bill. Let LIS give local option a thorough test. If the prohi bitionists feel themselves strong enough in Mobile, Montgomery and Cullman to make the fight in those counties, they will go ahead and make it. If the antis win, the minority would have to accept the result. If on the other hand, the prohibitionists were to come out victorious, the antis would bow gracefully, just as they have done in Jefferson county, where there was organized and determined opposition to the so-called prohibition wave.
 It is up to the senate to stand by the principles of democracy, and The Age Herald believes that more than a third of that conservative body will stand together like true democrats and keep Alabama in the local option line.

FROM SINGER TO MAYOR.
Career of Man. Who Won Fame As
 Composer of Ballads.

Victor Smith in the New York Press.
 Seldom do we hear of public singer who. after retiring from the stage, takes up civic honors. But such is the case with Michael Maybrick, known to the world under the fictitious name of Stephen Adams" the popular composer of countless ballads which are heard at concerts all the world over. Mir May brick has filled the office of Mayor of Ryde, Isle of Wight, with thorough ef- ficieney.
 Thirty years ago, when Maybrick first came out, he looked more like Kentucky colonel than an Englishman. His fine, buoyant singing of his own songs in his resonant voice-the purest baritone charmed and delighted his audiences. He sang "The Warrior Bold" Nancy Lee. 'True Till Death" and "The Midship- mite"
 One night while singing "The Midship- mite" at a concert, the accompanist went peacefully on until Maybrick, thinking to help by turning over the music, stretched forth his arm as he began the refrain With a long, long pull. and a strong, strong pull''-and his cuff link caught in the panist's hair. The audience saw the hair gradually rise, and discovered 10 their infinite amusement that it was a wig. The victim suddenly realized what was happening and clapped both hands to his head, being just in the nick of time to effect clever save" as foot ball parlance has it.
 After singing, Maybrick would go to the piano and accompany Edward Lloyd, the great tenor, in these two beautiful and beautifully sacred songs, "The Holy City" and ''The Star of Bethlehem" which have attained worldwide fame and out of which Maybrick has realized fortune. A really good, first-class &C., companst who will accompany the singer with all his heart and soul and skill Is a ''rara avis" and, like good conductor, worth his weight in gold,

"In Ged We Trust"
line.

The reverential attitude of the re- public is shocked by the removal of the words expressing faith in the Deity from the 20-dollar and 10-dollar gold coins. If the words had never appeared on our coins the country would not, perhaps, have demanded their use in that capacity, but to have words of long use stricken off arouses public opinion, especially among mem- bers of all religious associations.
 It appears that President Roosevelt induced the late Augustus St. Gaudens to make new designs for the gold coins in question. The designs of the dead sculptor called for spreadeagle on one face, and an Indian in full war paint on the other, and he had no room for the legend that time had rendered familiar to the American people. Simi- lar legends have appeared on Anglo Saxon coins ever since the reign of Edward III, and the removal of the phrase "In God We Trust" was incon- siderate to say the least.
 It appears to have been the work of President Roosevelt and Congress had no hand in 1t. In the absence of con gressional direction the President seems to have turned to Art and to the picturesque without any due re- gard for the religious side of the case. His defense of his action does not help him in the least. The phrase in ques- ton has not in the past led to any such degree of irreverence as the President mentions. He is simply mistaken, and his defense is too weak to call for an answer. He has been inconsiderate and impetuous. and the penalty is a storm that would be coined into votes if he should stand for third term, for he has, unconsciously perhaps, flouted the faith held by the masses of the American people.

Currency Legislation

Beyond all doubt currency reform will be an expressing subject when Congress meets next month. Some want a central bank of issue; some want an assets currency; some one thing and some another. There is lack of agreement, and the chances are that patchwork of compromises will be agreed on. This isssaid to be the essence of statesmanship.
 Fifteen Of the sixteen members of the currency committee of the Fifty ninth Congress are members of the Sixtieth Congress, which will be con vened on the first Monday in Decem- Der, and MT. Cannon, who is slated for reelection to the speakership, will doubtless reappoint the veterans of the currency committee. The favorite bill of the last Congress and of its currency committee authorized bank to issue a credit currency up to 52B per cent of it's bond-secured circula- ton, provided the amount issued did not exceed 25 per cent of it's capital stock. The first 40 per cent of the issue was to be taxed 3 per cent, and the remaining 1912 per cent was to be taxed 3 per cent.
 The object of the taxation was to induce the withdrawal of this credit as soon as the emergency had passed. But the currency that is taxed but 3 per cent might prove to be permanent currency. for when money can earn 1 per cent there would be a profit in issues taxed but 3 per cent. If this should prove to be the case 40 per cent of the proposed issue would lack elas- ticity because it would become perma-

Mir. Bryan's Announcement

The democrats of Alabama are not surprised by MT. Bryan's announce ment of his candidature. He has only friends and admirers here, and every one will get in line to support him next November.
 MT. Bryan's announcement comes opportunely. He has met opportunity this time, and it is overwhelmingly in his favor. At time when Dingleyism and long term of republicanism have filled the land with monopolizing trusts and distrust he comes forward to stand for publicity of campaign funds, rev enue tariff and reform all along the line. In such times and on such plat form he cannot well be defeated.
 The American people know that Will liam Jennings Bryan is an honest and a courageous man. This has been proven many, many times. He stands for his convictions, regardless of what this or that interest may think or may desire. He does not stop to weigh the opposition there may be to an issue or proposi- ton, but he proceeds to do what his conscience and his wide intelligence dictate, letting the consequences be what they may. This is why he is so strongly entrenched in the hearts of all true democrats. This is why he will enter the campaign of 1908 backed by the great masses of the American people.
 At a time when republicanism has brought serious trouble to the land it is a mistake to say that MT. Bryan's supporters will be confined to the dem- ocratic party. He will draw support CTS from all ranks-from all who feel the pressure of the times, and who are acute enough to trace their troubles back to the party that has held undis- puted control of every branch of the government ten years. If he is de- feated under such circumstances the story of financial mix-ups will have to be revised but no one anticipates the need of any such revision of our politi- cal history. MT. Bryan is slated to become Theodore Roosevelt's success sor, and there will be no more bear hunts.

Vulcan and Moon Beams.

eff you want to see an inspiring sight get on South Ensley car one of these moonlight nights and take good look at Vulcan, as you pass the fair grounds said Birmingham man last night. "The sight of the great giant in his silver tinted color standing there in the midst of the darkened fair grounds, is one of the most impressive sights around Bir- mingham. His silver color reflects every moonbeam, which causes him to stand out in strong relief, a silent testimonial of Birmngham's backbone. I passed the fair grounds tonight and my attention was called to the big fellow in all his glory and loneliness by man from Co., lumbus. Miss, who almost fell off the car in his anxiety to get a final look of what he called the 'swelest and most impressive thing around Birmingham. General Manager George T. Barnes of the fair association. deserves a gold medal for providing Vulcan with his silver colored dress"

RECREATION IN HONOLULU.
More Kinds of Amusement Than In

From the Chicago News.
 Honolulu.-One who comes here mere iy for recreation can flush more kinds of larlls that rise in him and sing and leave no bad taste in the mouth than can be found in any other place within my knowledge He may play with an active volcano at kilauca or Mokuaweoweo or explore the largest extinct crater in the world at Haleakala. He may go snow balling on Mama Kea, 14000 feet high, or wade out into the Pacific ocean to lie down on the coral and keep still. He may play polo on the field of Moanalua, unsurpassed if unequal in polo geogra- phy, or go canolng In the surf in q native dugout, with it's outrigger. or on a board-every one to his taste. He can play golf in Uuanu valley or go grabbing at Pearl harbor.
 He may go fishing in Molokini crater, where the fish look like a bewitched mill lnery shop, or see good baseball at Kam- oiliili He may shoot deer on Molokai and wild cattle and hogs on the slopes of Mauna Loa, or hire an automobile and kill dogs and pedestrians anywhere. He may take the little Oahu railroad and go picking pineapples at Wahiawa. or go farther and fare no worse, in his best clothes, at Haleiwa Or, if his mood is for a bamboo chair on piazza, with a pipe and yarn, Honolulu hospitality will fit q smile into every crow-foot at the busy corners of his face.

MANS APPLICABLE ENEMY.
rom the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
 From earliest history the rat has been a camp follower in the train of civilization and has frequently found place in le- gends like those in which Bishop Hatto and tho Pied Piper of Hamelin were the central figures. The invarable ob- ject of human destestation, it mas been accepted is an inevitable evil, a part of the discipline of life. The loss of prop erty due to the depreda tions of this marauder has been enough, even during a few hundred years. to fill the granaries of the world. and it is as 8 property manners. that the world has regarded it with such extreme disfavor.
 But as a rank purveyor of disease it's objectionableness is greatly intensified. The world is taking fresh cognizance of it's loathsomeness and danger and callnis upon science for a remedy. Last year the plague in India carried off 2O0O,0 ,0OO persons, and the secretary of state for that country has recently stated that un- less rat destruction is carried out with the utmost energy it is useless to at- tempt the control of the devastating dis ease. Denmark has organized an ex- termination department and placed at it's head one of her most accomplished economic zoologsts, and several other European countries are about to follow her example. We may yet be forced to it in our own country or in certain sec tions of it.
