from Pttsburg to Memphis for B cents, against a rate of S2.70. Millions of tons of coal have gone this way. and will go this way. because the boats have only to drift, and those that come back, mostly empty, are not hard to shove upstream. IT, the very week when North Dakota vas suffering most for lack of fuel, and the railways were unab1e to move cars more than 9 miles day, 100000 tons of frel went past Memphis by river on their way to New Orleans, in ten large barges Sixty thousand tons went on a single fleet, and sold in New Orleans for less than the rail freight would have been rom Pittsburg to North Dakota. Theg went 2OOO miles in three weeks or less, while a single carload would have taken 80 days to cover the distance by rail The fleets mostly returned empty, but one of them carried back sugar and syrup at cost of little more than a mill ton-mile, and it made the 2000 miles upstream in little more than a month-at the very time that Christmas goods ordered In Chicago in November were still blocked hy February's snows in the west So much advantage already lies on the side of the river. comparatively unimproVed though it is.
 In this story this district, distant from New Orleans but 300 miles, can read and should read the story of its future development. The Open War rior will begin to be the hope and de- pendance of this district from the time the canal at Panama is opened, and the plainer we see this and the more we prepare for the coming of the change the earlier will we reap advantages from it. The use of our rivers is the story of our development in the years to come.

Deficit Without Economy

One year ago the United States treas ury held a surplus of receipts over ex- penditures of about $53, 3,000,000 for the then current fiscal year. This year the deficit is just about $4O,OOO,O00. The difference is about S93,000,000.
 The deficit of the present fiscal year will on June 30 be, it is estimated, $55,000,000. Compare this with the surplus of 100000 on June 30, 1907, and you have the change that has overtaken the country in the hands of the republican party. All the apoI- ogists have to stand aside when the figures are brought forth.
 If Congress showed any desire in the face of the present financial show ing to economize, the situation would not be alarming, but when it goes on shoveling out money people begin to ask what the outcome is to be. Seventy per cent of our expenditures are for war purposes, and yet our isolation renders aggression and attack on the mainland absurd. We are ten times more isolated than England is. and no country dares to attempt to land troops on English soil.
 But neither our splendid isolation nor our declining revenues operate to curb expenditures, and the sum total of ap- propriations for the next fiscal year promises to rival the stupendous ag- gregate for this year. The veteran Senator Hale did ask Congress to pause bit ana consider, but Congress refuses to listen to reason, and no trimming of appropriations is seriously supported by the republican leaders.

Straw Ballots In Georgia

On June a primary is to be held h Georgia in which will be decided the issue that has arisen, namely, whether Gov. Hoke Smith or Little Joe' Brown is to be the democratic nominee for governor of that state. The primary is the real election there as well as here in L.abama, and public interest is centered in it.
 Straw ballots are being taken daily in the street-corner crowds, on the trains, on the highways, in country stores, in Turkish baths, restaurants, court houses and any other old place in the state. Singularly enough the straw votes published in the Constitu- ton show an overwhelming sentiment in favor of Browns election, while those in the Journal point even more strongly to the reelection of Smith.
 A straw vote seems to be capable of conforming to the will of the man. ager of the particular election. It pos sesses enough elasticity to help the man who organizes it. It goes on un- checked in Georgia, and paper that does not contain column or more of straw votes is not, it is plain, up to date in it's methods.
 .- The battle between Little Joe and . Big Hoke is warm and doubtful in the i. straw votes, but in the primary boxes of June it may be as one-sided as was tEe balloting of two years ago. In the meanwhile, the voters are having an enjoyable time in compiling and publishing straw votes which are open to all corners, including minors and wayfarers in general.

Evasion and Corruption

The republican leaders at Washing ton are between two horns of di- lemma-they wish to pass a currency bill and various reform bills demanded by the President, but they do not de- sire to onend a single possible cam- paign subscribers of the trust and mag nat~ sort. They see, as all other wide awake observers see, that the sole chance of their candidate for Presi- dent in the coming campaign consists in the purchase of votes in the crowded sections of large cities. They see this, and the indications are they will ad- journ without passing a currency bill or various other needful measures, and campaign publicity bill will not be permitted to appear on the floor of either House. All publicity bills, it is plain, are to be squeched in com mittee rooms.
 A more barefaced smothering of use full legislation in order to placate the trusts and magnates was perhaps never known-legslation as rule rec commended by the President himself and the members and the party itself will be held to a st accountability before the people. A hot campaign is to come and a reckoning in it and at the polls is unaN oidable.
 The Aldrich bill was smothered in the banking and currency committee of the House, and it was voted to give no reason for the act The bill was poor, indeed, but the House shows no inclination to devise a better plan, and so it is as to all the reforms that the President demands. And a campaign publicity bill is not granted considera- tion even in a committeel
 A do-nothing, campaign-fund-hunt Congress is weak prelude to a vic- torious campaign in year of depres- sion. The Aour of democratic victory is at hand and the democrats of all states, especially in New York, should 1 get together to fight, not each other, but the common enemy.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Very Liberal contrIbutlon.

The imp of perversity was busy Sat- urday and hence the publication that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company had contributed $500 to the fund for the entertainment of the Confederate Veterans said J. B. Babb, secretary of the Commercial club. While this amount of itself would be liberal, as a matter of fact the contribution of the company was three times as much, or to put it in plain figures s1500. Whatever private griev- anees may arise from time to time, it is but simple justice to give the company credit for a consistent and generous pol icy in it's dealings with this community. Not dnly has it been a pioneer in devel- opment. but it has likewise been an active and effective supporter of every move ment that would tend toward the com mercial advancement of Birmingham. President Ford is maintaining the high reputation of the company for public spirited work. His company is not only liberal contributor but Ford's valuable personal services are cheerfully given to all community enterprises. To correct the mistake is simple duty. It Is a pleasure to be able to go farther and say word of commen1aton for the company's lb- erality."

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS
Delegates May Go To Denver Without
 instructions.

Trenton, N. J., April 26.-The democratic state convention to select 24 delegates to represent the state in the national con- vention at Denver will be held in this city Tuesday. The indications are that the delegates elected will be sent to Den yer uninstructed and that the great ma : jority of them will not be favorable to the nomination of Mir. Bryan as their first choice. There will, however, be sev- eral Bry1n men in the convention, in- cluding the solid delegation of Hudson county, Leader Robert Davis of that county having declared for MT. Bryan.
 The delegates to the state convention already selected for the Seventh and Eighth Congressional districts, compris- ing tlle county of Esseex held caucus on Friday night and selected four anti Bryan men to be supported in the state convention for district delegates. Thee Ninth and Tenth Congressional district delegates will probably caucus on Mon day night in Jersey City. The delegates from the other districts will probably not make their selections for district dele gates to Denver until they arrive in Trenton on Tuesday.

Great Rrltainis Premier.

Tn reading the London papers of different shades of political opinion one is impressed with the high esteem in which MT. Asqulth, the new prime min ister, is held" said professional man. The late Sir Henry Campbell Banner man was not only an able statesman of sturdy traits of character, but he was exceptionally popular. Asquith is also personally popular, and there is 10 question of his equipment for tatesS manship.
 But it strikes me as comical that in this day commoners of the British cab inet have to dress in uniform on state occasions. One of the London papers prints picture of MT. Asquith in his ludicrous. In civilian attire the pre- mier is a handsome man, whether in sack coat, Pince Albert, or swallow tail, he looks all right. But in uni form it is different His brass button coat is i'll fitting, and he looks more like a country-town chief of police than the chief of the British govern ment. The only thing that might look at all dressy is his chapeau, which by the way, is exactly the headgear tnat a Knight Templar wears, but even that sat on his head somewhat to one side as if the prime minister were inclined to be bit rakish which he is not. It may be that MT. Asquith has a sense of the ridiculous. If so he will reforpl the time honored' but out-o date GUS tom, which requires the premier to don a uniform"

ANOTHER $5OOO
 MUST BE RAISED

A canvass will be started this morn- ing by the Confederate reunion finance committee for the raising of $5OOO more to be used in the entertaining of the Confederate veterans This amount has been found to be absolutely necessary, and the committee is in hopes of rais- ing it before the day is over John H. Frye, president of the Traders' National bank, has been appointed as the man to receive the subscriptions, while a com- mttee has also been appointed to make the canvass.
 One special request has been made by the finance committee which is that all persons subscribing have their money so that it may be collected when called for. The entertaining of the veterans is a great undertaking and the men hand ling it are business men who are de- voting a great deal of time to it, and it requires considerable time to make several trips to collect the subscriptions.
 Advices have been received naming the Arkansas sponsor and maids. They are: Miss Emma McAndrew of Bentonvlle, Ark, sponsor. and Miss Agnes Wnches- Atl Ol II Oll ClIllu anu NlSS Kellog of Little Rock as maids.
 The Oklahoma sponsor will be Miss Bessie Brewer of Guthrie Okla, and the maid of honor, Miss Care of Guthrie Mrs. w. R. Clements of Capitol Hill, Ark, has been named as chaperone.
 Headquarters have been reserved at the Florence hotel for Maj. Gen. James H. Berry, commander of the Arkansas di- vision. General Berry is scheduled to arrive in Birmingham June at 6 a. m.
 Maj. Gen. John Threadgill, command ing the Oklahoma division, will have headquarters at the Metropolitan hotel. He will probably reach Birmingham on the morning of June g.
 Maj Fred l.. Robertson of Tallahas- see, Fla, has been appointed as chair | man of the committee on the entertain ment of the sponsors in behalf of the veterans. He has been furnished infor- nation as to the plans of entertainment already arranged. In a letter recently received from him he stated that he would reach Birmingham on June 6. A letter has also been received from P. A. Blakely, commander of the Ben McCulloung camp at Mount Vernon Tex, stating that carload of veterans would be brought from his camp, and asking that private boarding houses be arranged for them

the country, referred to the school system and it's influence on the morals of a com- munity and then closed with a word on the tendency of the age.
 ''You all know. my brethren as l know he said, that the tendency of the age is materialistic; that even some of our own brethren at times have not been proof against this materialistc tendency. Is 1t not true today that money, even among men who profess to believe in Christian ity, is law? Is it not confirmed by the daily chronicle, sad and shameful as it is, that wealth turns to stone the hearts of fathers and mothers, and by crushing out Christian principles tends to anni hlate the love of children for parents and the love of parents for their off, spring? This is the crying crime of the age"
 In the evening the archbishop gave dinner in honor of the Irish cardinal. To- morrow night the Countess Leary will en- certain both Cardinals Logue and Gibbons and other prelates who are here for the public festivities that will begin Tuesday at the cathedral. Cardinal Gibbons and Monsignor Bruchese of Montreal will ar- rive here tomorrow.
 Arrangements have been completed for the procession on next Saturday, after which the ceremonies will close. Briga- der General Thomas H. Barry will be the grand marshal.

Hay Festival Chorus.

general rehearsal of the chorus which Philip Memoli is training for the music festival to be held in connection with lnnes' band May 13, 14 and 16, will take place tonight at o'clock at Cable hall. As the time is short MT Memoli urges full attendance at each rehearsal.
 No city in the south has more good sight readers than Birmingham" said q well known musician, "and it is hoped that fully 15O voices will be heard in the festival chorus As the music which Mir Innes has selected for the chorus is easy, any experienced singer can learn it in five or six rehearsals. Innes is giv- ing big festivals this season and in all the festival cities large chorus have been formed Birmingham should do as well as other cities. Indeed it should do better
 When it is remembered that the net proceeds of the festival are to be turned over to the Confederate reunion fund, and that the same chorus that sings with Innes in May will also sing at the reunion. there should be no difficulty in assembling all the voices needed.
 Times brings five great vocal artists, including Miss Virginia Listermann and Sgnor Zara of Rome, engaged for this springs festivals. The quintet will sing in several of the choral numbers. The Innes band easily ranks as the finest wind organization in the world and in accom- panying it is as satisfying al a symphony orchestra. While the programmes will be artistic they will be anything but heavy or seyere'

CHAUTAUQUA IS
 OPEN IN ATLANTA A

Atlanta Ga, April 6-(Speeial. 1.-The Atlanta chautauqua began here at o'clock this afternoon with mass meeting, at which no admission was charged. Dr. Edwin Poteat, president of Furman uni- versty, the attraction of the occasion, was introduced by Gov Hoke Smith, who was loudly applauded. Dr. Poteat spoke on the decisive battles of the nineteenth century. The Chicago Glee club sang. There was very large audience.
 At o'clock at the Grand Opera house under the auspices of the Atlanta Sanita- tion and Tuberculosis Prevention asso- citation, Dr. S. A. Knopf of Chicago, we'll known specialist, spoke on consumption, the causes for and the cures possible. His lecture was highly appreciated, and drew a large audience.
 The Atlanta Odd Fellows celebrated their eighty-ninth anniversary today, with a parade in which over 1000 members of the fraternity participated and with exercises at the Christian church on South Pryor street. Rev. H. K. Pendle< ton made an impressive address.

Water Transportation

Every report of progress at Panama is welcomed in this district, for it means beyond reasonable doubt that we will begin then to utilize our rivers in the transportation to market of the heavy products of this district. A writer in Everybody's Magazine for May thus describes the traffic that sup plies New Orleans with 1,500,000 tons of coal year. He says:
 The Ohio Mississippi coal trade, which persists today, is one of the greatest single movements of cargo in the world. From Pittsburg to New Orleans is 2OoO miles, all down hill. Coal in 1OO0-ton barges is rafted into fleets and lowed do yn this distance by powerful steam boats, at a cost of less tan 75 cents q .on. against a railroad rate Qf about s45o

The call for aid for the tornado suf- ferers should meet with ready response While the amount of money needed by the destitute in Alabama may not be large, the demand is urgent, and what the benevolent people of Birmingham contribute should be forthcoming with out delay.
 Appeals for Eelp come from time to time, and 1t can be said with truth that Birmingham has never failed to respond generously to every worthy cause The Age-Herald will take charge of subscriptions and will forward them to the proper relief committees in the stricken communities.
