IN HOTEL LoBBIES
Japan Buys Birmingham Engines.

Il heard an interesting fact and one
which I regard as significant II not pro-
phetic, said John Sparrow last night,
in conversation this afternoon with
w. D. Tynes OF the Hardie-Tynes Man
ufacturing company he Informed me
that his company had booked an order
this week for the delivery of one of
their large Corliss engines at Yokohama,
Japan, and that on the heels of the order
came a request by cable for figures on
two cross compound Corliss condenslng
engines. The quotations have been ca
bled to the Yokohama inquirer, and Mr..
Tynes is inclined to believe that he will
secure the second order The Hardie-
Tynes company has sold a number of
engines in the east and north, and, [
understand, has placed several in South
America. but this is the first order which
the company has received from the far
east. As the japanese are excellent
judges of machinery and have the world
to pick from. this order is feather in
the cap of the company. and is dis
tinction conferred upon the Birmingham
district. In 1t, | fancy | see the fore
runner OF much business in the Orient
for the district when the Panama canal
shall have been completed"

County Population.

1.-The population of Jefferson county Is
estimated at between 100000 and 225,O00,"
said an Ensley man. Some people may
think 225,OOO rather high, but l am in
clned to think it is not high enough.
feel sure that when the census is
taken in 1910 this county will have a pop
ulation of 100000
The census bureau furnishes from time
to time estimates of population based on
the percentage of increase in the last
decade This rule will give a pretty fair
idea of the number of people In most
communities, but population conditions in
Jefferson between 1890 and 1900 were pecu-
liar. 1t will be recalled that during the
period of depression extending from 1893
to 1897 thousands of wage earners moved
away from the Birmingham district, and
the gain of $1,000 in the decade was for
the most part within three years. In
1890 the population was little more
than $1,000 Had the census been taken
in 1895 the enumeration would have
shown decrease. In 1900 the county
had a population of 10000. The increase
has been at a much more rapid rate
since 1900 than in any former period. This
can be seen at a glance at the crowds
in Birmingham and Ensley, to say moth
ing of the increase in other muncipali-
ties in jefferson county,

Cost OF the Philippines

Our war eXpeditures-armya and navy
ARE three times greater than they
were ten years ago, and yet some de-
sire to see them trebled again. About
twothirds of our governmental ex-
penses are now on account of war for
what the army and the navy do not get,
the pensioners and the holders of war
bonds do. Twenty years ago we spent
on army and navy alone $55,000,000 a
year; last year the cost of these
branches of the public service ex-
ceeded s2O4OOO,OOO.
No nation in the world has so ex
pensive an army per soldier. Last
year our army cost SAL for each
officer and enlisted man, and it was a
year of profound peace. We have a
general to every 1872 men, and all the
retired generals do is to draw from
s4125 to $3.50 each. Threefourths of
them never earned their pay even
when in active service.
Much of this increased expenditure
and militarism is due to the Philip
pines, which have already cost the
country billion of dollars, and are
today nuisance and burden. A war
with Japan would be blessing if ii
would go on just long enough to let
the Togos of that militant little empire
seize the Philippines. Peace should be
declared as soon as the Japs had be-
come well established in those islands.
We might lose in that way a little
prestige but this would be made good
through radiance of the burden that
Admiral George Dewey put upon us
without warning on morning in May.

The Strawberry Crop,

While the present cold has done some
damage in the strawberry fields around
Cullman 1t is my opinion that had the
chill been delayed only a few days more
the entire crop might have been lost, =
said George Stiefelmeyer of Cullman,
who was in the city last night.
Some of the strawberry plants are
already in bloom and few berries are
forming in some of the fields, but the
crop as a general thing is not far enough
advanced for the loss to amount to much.
This cold snap .Yill serve to set the
crop back few days, or just far enough
to prolong the blooming in a more IA
vorable and a safer season. The crop
promises to be fine this year If the
weather conditions are anything like an
average
"Cullman is enjoying a season of un-
usual prosperity just now and the pros
poets for the present year in all lines of
business and material development are
very flattering. Several handsome bust
ness and residence houses have been
erected during the past few months, and
more are being planned.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-02-06

in any event no war, no friction, no I'M
pairment of friendly relations is in
volved.
Captain Hobson should not hurry us
into war with Japan. He should read
what Count Leo Tolstoi says about
Japan's great positive superiority in
military matters. The famous Russian
author goes on to say:
Japan was victorious not because Rus
STA was weak, but because Japan is to-
day, perhaps, the most powerful nation in
the world on sea and land.
First, the Japanese, through their
practicability and the Importance which
they attach TO military matters, have
mastered all the scientific technical per-
fections which have hitherto given the
supremacy to the Christian people over
un-Christian people; secondly, the Japa-
nese are by nature drawer and more in
different to death than the Christian ma
lions are today, and thirdly, the warlike
patriotism. which is not in accordance
with Christianity, but which was dragged
with difficulty by the Christian govern
ments into their nations. Is still alive
among the Japanese in all its untouched
strength"
Captain Hobson should not prema-
turely invite conflict with a military
power which, in the words of the great
Russian. has proved stronger than the
strongest of military powers"
Let us be glad the little Japs are far
away across the waters Of the worlds
widest sea. Russia, ON the other hand,
had butted in until she was almost
within sight of Japan, and then came
the clash of war and at the end of it
Russia lay PROSTATE and HELPLESS. The
butting in we have done in the Far
East was a mistake from the start, and
it in nowise affects the main question.
In the long run the school question in
San Francisco will be adjusted, and
Captain Hobson's naval scheme will be
distributed over long course of years,
and probably will never crystalline into
fact except in answer to trade growth.

At the Bijou.

The Ninety and Nine love tale of

some clever scenic effects at the Bijcr,
introduce talented New York girl MISS
Bayonne Whippie, to whose artistic If
forts the success of the piece on its initial
run at the Academy of Music. New York,

charming girl and comes honestly by her

Investigating Cotton Futures

A difference of l cent pound is SIS
bale, or difference of $65,O00,000 in
the crop grown last year. Quotations
are manipulated In New York so that
futures and spots present that differ
ence very often, and the New York
cotton exchange thus becomes a means
of dragging down the price of cotton.
The delivery of low-grade cotton on
contracts is the device through which
this is brought about.
The House of Representatives has
requested the bureau of corporations to
investigate this matter and to report
the why's and wherefores-the entire
philosophical cotton fluctuations. The
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-02-06

report will necessarily be presented to
the Sixtieth Congress, for it cannot be
made before the Fifty-ninth Congress
will have run its course.
Possibly the report that will be pre-
sented by the bureau of corporations
will lay a basis for the appointment of
a congressional investigating commit
tee, which, if rightly made up, would
be sure to go to the bottom of the sub
iect, laying before the country gigan-
tic conspiracy organized by the eastern
spinners against the producers of our
greatest export crop. The country can
i'll afford to foster any such conspiracy.
The House resolution is a hopeful
sign that the entire business is to be
investigated until the truth is brought
out and Objectionable and unjust meth
DDS are abolished in the larger markets
of the country. While dog-tail cotton
is good delivery in those markets the
prices of futures will be depressed, and
these in turn and at times will operate
to depress the price of spot cotton.

Imaqinary Yellow Peril

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson sees
Japan a-coming at us in full fighting
candition, and yet she is 10000 miles
away. How two nations can fight each
other that far apart does not clearly
appear. One Is on the sunrise side of
the globe and the other on the opposite
side, and one-half of the circumference
of the globe intervenes. Nevertheless,
Captain Hobson says war between the
two is certain, and he asks us to get
ready for it without delay
True, we have an archipelago lying
near Japan, wholly outside the federal
constitution, but no enc of this coun-
try would seize it, beca /se the seizure
would benefit this country, and war is
not conducted on that principle.
All this talk about war with Japan
is the merest nonsense. The school
trouble in San Francisco involves
treaty rights, as well as the rights of
states. 1t is a serious and delicate
matter but the entire subject has been
carried to the courts, and when they
have heard and decided it we will know
where we are at, and so will Japan.
Possibly Secretary Root and the dip
lnmats will anticinate the courts, but
