ALABAMA PRESS


 Mobile Register: Comet parties can now be arranged. They will certainly be small and early.
 Marion County News: The idea of tax ing old maids is radically wrong, be- cause there was never an old maid by her own consent.
 Ashland standard: Now that both the Georgia and Alabama legislatures have adjourned we may at least expect the nights to be cooler.
 Cherokee Harmonizer: If man is a demagogue because his sympathies are with the poor and oppressed, then there are some seventy-five million demagogues in this nation.
 Lamar Democrat: The legislature which has just adjourned seems to have had more sympathy for the dogs than the people, at least 1t didn't tax any of the dogs.
 Cullman Democrat: Candidates are smiling on the people Good times and bad times alike produce the usual crop of candidates. They are all good fellows. all deserve office and we wish them all success.
 Tuscumbla labamian-Dispatch: Now that the legislature has adjourned, we believe that criticisms should cease. Af- ter all, the legislators have tried to give the people what they wanted. They clam ored for rate reform and many other measures that were passed. and we not not doubt that there were members that voted contrary to their opinions simply because they felt that they were there to carry out the wishes of the people, and there was a governor present that did not fail to remind them of what the people expected.

COlIeqe Work

Within few weeks the schools and olleges will resume work and roughout the south the prospects attendance in the higher institu- ns of learning are very bright. Now
 the people have enjoyed excep-
 al prosperity, parents with boys
 ducate are preparing to send them
 pllege. In years past liberal ed
 on was only for the few. But to-
 at small cost, aspiring youth can
 will, have the benefit of col
 course.
 The old notion that classical edu- cation united young man for the farm or the counting room has long since been exploded. Education is not only appreciated now, but it is de- manded in the business world as we'll as in the professions. Not every boy who studies Latin and Greek vii, need these accomplishments in busi- ness, any more than he will have use for his geometry. But these things should be studied along with history and geography, for the purpose of general culture for broadening the mental vision and sharpening the wits Among some advanced educators there is tendency to minimize the classical branches This is a practi- cal age, they say, and boys should study only such things as they can apply in their life calling. But for the very reason that the world is tending to commercialism and the utilitarian give the boy good ground

POPULAR SPORT.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 When a politician can find nothing else to knock he can always find a railroad handy. They are not supposed to have friends these days and sWatting them is cheap and easy amusement. It is not usually a profitable sport, but 1t serves for want of something better.

SWEETS AND THE DISPOSITION.

From What to Eat.
 Nothing could be said in greater praise of a people than that they like sweets It shows a wholesome vigorous health full eondition-an appjetite not jaded from excessive indulgence. The child whose appetite has not become polluted or cal- loused by false relshes. smarting sauces and burning drinks loves sweets so does the girl of bright eyes and untainted youth, as is evidenced by her fondness for ice creams and desserts. The young ath- lete among men loves sweets nearly as well as does the child. But the bar room lounger, the cigarette hend," the dope fiend' and the depraved of all other classes do not like sweets Long ago their minds and appetites lost the desire for everything pleasing to the natural palate

BrInaInq Back Prisoners.

'It is not such an easy matter as it appears to secure man on requisition on the governor of another state," said a former attache of the sheriffs office.
 You see the matter of Identification is the most important one. Frequently man Is taken in a city where he is an absolute stranger. even by any name he chooses to assume. Now the governor of the state has to be fully satisfied before he can in law surrender a man who is a citizen or claiming the protection of the state
 Again, the forms of indictment are considered. In Connecticut there Is a long recital of offenses Here in Alabama a very short form Is used, which is not common in the other states.
 q remember that we came very near losing New York Harry through this point.
 "on our way home with a prisoner where we stop over night with him we lock him up in the county jail or city bastile. Very often no charge is made for this. Of course we pay for what the prisoner eats.
 We enter public places sometimes but with the handcuffs and chains con- cealed."

IF LIFE WERE LIKE A DREAM. If all this life were sunshine and roses And dreamy days in lowered closes, Without q single storm cloud showing, But heavy-scented breezes blowing If there were nothing more than smiling and honey-laden hours beguilng The call of work and bold ambition, What check would save us from perdi-

 What heart would have the strength
 to breast
 Great obstacles. if hardly pressed? What human soul would ever rise From slothful ease to seek the skies?

Suggestion for FaIr Week.

Flair week promises to be very lively in Birmingham" said a man in the in- side of the direction.
 ''The horse show to be held each night of the fair in a specially provided tent and in the heart of the city. has aroused unusual interest on account of the very large purses to be offered.
 "I understand taat there is some dis cusslon of the proposition to have tour nament during one afternoon at theNfair grounds and grand ball after the horse show at night in one of the skating rinks. It Is a most excellent idea and would bring attendance from outside the state.
 There are a number of very fine horse- men in Huntsville and in the Black belt who are desirous of measuring skill with the lance.
 with a spectacular parade of typical southern features, knights and ladies with pages, the hunt club and jubilee singers there could be revived quite the most unique and interesting of old time southern sports"

American Emlorstlon to Canada.

American Emigration to Canada.
 The Canadian Nation, with smiling, welcoming face, is holding out it's hands and beckoning to settlers who long for homes." says T. T. Wright in the Nash vile American. Just now We are hear ing great deal about the rush across the Northwestern border; that in five years 3o0,0O0 of as good people as any part of the country can produce, have sadly passed from under the Stars and Stripes. and cast their lot in Canada. It Is startling-it is more than startling; It is mournful and appalling. We ask the nation to consider why these men, jour neying to the border and actually pass ing through the states that have mil lions of acres of splendid domain crying out for settlement. passed these by for less attractive sites, and faced more indictment climate under q foreign fag; why last year 5s,OOO Americans filed home stead claims in Canada's northwest coun- try and only 25,O0O did so in all of our own broad domain!
 Expressed in the solemn warning of Senator Carter of Montana: We are driv- ing the finished product of our citizen ship out over the northern border. while we are encouraging the raw material to come fin as immigrants
 What Is the south doing to divert these empire builders from the frlgid cline of an alien land to this the most favored section of the world? We assemble immi- grafton conventions to ventilate hot air and blather about our great natural ad- vantages. Canada, more wise, organizes practical measures and sends out capa- bie, brainy men to round up and gather from us the most practical and best agri- culturists in the world. while we of the south sit with folded arms to talk poli- ties and damn the railways.'
