MEET TO DISCUSS
 BAPTIST MISSIONS

Birmingham is fast gaining fame for its religious and scholastic institutes, large number of successful ones already having been held here this fall. while one which is expected to be exceptionally successful is to be held here this week. This is the Baptist Missionary institute of Alabama, which will be in session for two days, Wednesday and Thursday.
 A number of successful institutes have been held by this organization, each one showing great improvement over the one before, and the one this year gives prom ise of showing an even greater percent age of improvement. The attendance from all indications will also be large, many of the most prominent Baptists in the state having signi1ed their intention of att tending.
 Mrs. T. A. Hamilton of Birmingham will preside over the sessions of the in- stItutes in place of Mrs c. A. Stakely of Montgomery who is president of the or ganization but who will be prevented from attending this years meeting.
 In addition to the Alabama Baptists who will be present there will also be in attendance a number of missionaries and members of the national missionary board

Judge K. B. Kelly Tells How
 To Double Our Schools

In a letter. which is reproduced here, Judge R. B. Kelly gives this very inter- esting information:
 Under the law as passed by the last legislature a high school is to be estab- lished in each county to the support of which the state will donate 5000 each year This is a continuing appropriation, and continues until the law Is repealed, which is never likely to happen. Another law also passed by the last legislature appropriates 5000 year to build rural schoolhouses in each county. These two laws give to each county an aggregate of $3000 year which the state will do- note to the cause of education in each county. Now if we split Jefferson and make two counties it will not cause the removal of single child from the ter ritory, and yet the children in that same territory will have two high schools in- stead of one; there will be s2000 year ap- propriated by the state to build rural schoolhouses in the territory instead of 5000. In other words. 1t will double the school facilities of the children who live now in Jefferson county.
 Another argument in favor of the amendment. When 1t carries and the new

WEST END
 ELECTION TODAY

West End will hold it's bond election to- day and the full voting strength of the town is expected to be shown in the final count. There will be but one polling place, that one being in the school house. corner of Cotton avenue and Elyton street (West End station).
 There will be two items to vote on. One will be for the issue of 900 worth of bonds for the construction of a new school house or addition to the present one, and s1O,OOO for the erection of a building to be used as fire department headquarters and city hall.
 West End could have issued ss0OO worth of bonds year ago, but as it was de- sired to build another school house it was decided to hold over for year until the increased tax valuation would allow of the issuance of bonds enough to put up a respectable building. Should the voters decide on the issuing of $S5,00O worth of bonds 1t would still leave a margin of several thousand dollars, so great was the il crease in property values during the year.

The question of whether the Osage In- dians shall have the ordinary value of the oil upon their land, as adjacent land owners acting upon their own behalf are able to obtain, or whether we shall permit you to make the Standard Oil company a present of the greater part of these oil values is business proposition.
 'I represent the personal rights and in- terests of the Osages because they are citizens of Oklahoma. You are simply the chief guardian of these particular lands. Justice to the Osages requires the cancel lation of the lease which you have made without their knowledge or consent and with respect to your high office and the most generous construction I could put upon your act would be that that lease was made through ignorance of conditions or undue haste at the solicitation of the agencies above referred to.
 Let it be considered as settled finally you will either cancel that lease yourself or the authorities of the state of Okla homa will present the matter to Congress as soon as 1t assemblies and see if that body will be deaf to a righteous demand for justice. Sincerely yours,

county with Bessemer as the county seat is established, the Birmingham district. instead of having only one senator in the legislature of the state, will have two senators, one from Jefferson county and one from the new county, both working for the Birmingham district. And In the house, instead of only seven members, there will be seven from Jefferson and five from the new county, making say, 12, instead of seven, all working for the upbuilding of the Birmingham district. To create the new county will not move an ounce of dirt from its present loca- tion. It will not change the actual resi- dence of a single man, woman or chi now living in this district, but 1t will en- large the school facilities of those now living here as pointed out above, and it will increase the voting strength of the district in the state legislature. Besides this 1t will tend to upbulld the whole dis
 trict and iniure no one It will not depre- ciate the value of single piece of prop erty in the district. but it will enhance 1t. To make the lower end of the county build up and improve more rapidly will not retard the growth of any other por- ton. RICHARD B. KELLY.

Massachusetts Is Normal.

Boston, November With the cleo tion only a matter of hours, and the republicans conceded to be in complete control of the situation in Massa- chusetts on the national test, interest in Tuesday't battle in this state is cen tered in the size of the vote and MT, Taft's plurality. Eliminating the ab normal vote of 1896, when Mckinley carried the state by 163, ,O00, the aver age republican plurality in Massa- chusetts since 1872 in presidential canvass has been about 45, ,000. Four years ago President Roosevelt won the state by 92,000.
 Although MT. Taft will carry the state, according to all political observ- CTS, Lieutenant Governor Draper's con test for the governorship with Sena- tor James H. Vahey is somewhat more in doubt. The republican managers look for the election of their candidate for governor by substantial plurality. while the democratic leaders state that Cenator Vahey's election is not i'm. probable. It is thought the ratio be- tween the two parties, with the repub- licans well In the majority, will re- main about the same.

LITTLE COTTON
 IN THE FIELDS

New Orleans, November 1.-The Plea yune will say tomorrow:
 Very little cotton remains in the field and it Is expected that all will have been picked and ginned by November 15. The damage from the boil weevil in some sec tions is reflected in the short yield, many of the Red river lands producing only bale to six acres. Those planters who have decided to cultivate cotton another year are adopting heroic measures in an effort to allay the ravages of the pest. These precautions include the early burn ing of all stalks in the field in order to destroy places for Information, as well as a thorough turning over of the soil and preparations to paint an early maturing variety of the stable

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Judge Lindsey of Denver.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 The following is a clipping from the Chicago Public of October 30:
 "A fl explanation of the political conspiracy to put Judge Lindsey off the bench of the juvenile court in Denver CD. 69S), comes by way of confession from the head of the Denver teleph one system. He gave the order himself, and the bosses of both parties obeyed. Judge Lindsey's offense consisted in having named this man and two other heads of public service companies that are run for exorbitant and unclean private profits, as having made more juvenile crime than all the ballot box suffers of certain disreputable type that ever operated. That Judge Lindsey's com parison was right, the people of Dem yer doubtless know. But will they say so? The question for them at this moment is whether they will let Judge Lindsey go on with his good work in the juvenile court, or turn 1t over to the control of the head of the parasiti- cal telephone system"
 The city of Birmingham will at an early date be confronted with a ques- tion that is similar in many respects to the above. Namely, the continuation of Judge N. B. Feagin in the place he has so well filled. Were it left to a vote of the people of Birmingham no one would doubt the result. But left as it Is to be determined by the Board of Aldermen there is grave doubt of Judge Feagin being reappointed. Would 1t not be for the best interest of our city to have a mass meeting, so that the people might be able to express themselves upon this question and thus bring home the thought that they are not party to the paying of politi- cal debts?

AEROPLANE FASHIONS
 STIR LONDON OUTFITTERS

London, November 1.-Fashions for aer- oplaning already claim the attention of London outfitters. The following sug- gestions for an aeroplanists outfit have been given by a West End maker of motor clothes.
 "The aeroplanst should wear a gaber- dine coat with a thick feecy lining to keep out the cold. Over that he might have loose and thick overcoat, button- ing very high around the neck. For lin- ing, opossum fur would be the ideal thing and the gloves might also be lined with
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-02

the same fur.
 For leg-covering a pair of brooches of the same material as the coat; and these, to keep out the cold should be tightly laced below the knees. Thick stockings with fur-lined gaiters over them should keep the wearer's feet warm.
 For head covering the cap supplied to Arctic expeditions would suit the aero- pianist. It is a knitted woody cap GOV cred with cloth, with ear flaps and flaps which could be pulled out at will on eith- CT side of the face to protect 1t against the wind.'

TURK BY
THE SICK MAN OF

When President Mckinley was shot the newspapers of Turkey were ordered to publish that he died of an affection of the heart" This fact expresses in a word the tyranny of Abdul-Hamid, the Sick Man, whose face is wrinkled parchment, as if thousand alxieties and suspicious had left their impress thereon There are few things that the Sultan likes. less than newspapers He has spent enormous sums to buy the favor of leading journals of Frasce, Germany and Austria. The English newspapers wouldn't budge and those of America have probably never been tempted This article on the Sultan byNcholas C. Adossides in the November number of The American Magazine gives inside-the-palace facts which have never before been made public Mr. Adossides was for some years an attache of the Turkish Foreign Office and his father was for forty-six years high official under four Sultans. Mr. AdoSsideS' record of personal observation and of private knowl- edge is intensely interesting and this article which is given the leading place in The American Magazine is probably the most remarkable contribution which will be found in any of the November periodicals.
