MT. Taft and the Field

The republican national convention is to consist ef 980 delegates, and 491 will suffice to nominate. As it is Taft against the field the most interesting question in republican circles relates to the Taft strength on the first bal lot. It is claimed that his name will go before the convention supported by the delegations of Ohio, Kansas, New Hampshire, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas, Oklahoma and all the territories-192 all told. The south, including Missouri, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia, has 40S votes. The Taft boom claims one-half of the southern delegates at the out set If to 192 be added 204 the result will be 396, or just about 100 votes short of the number required to nom- mate.
 All the aspirants are seeking early expressions. Indiana is booked to se- feet a Fairbanks delegation in Febru- ary and Ohio a Taft delegation in the same month. Long before the flowers that bloom in the spring appear the republican nags will be prancing up and down in 46 states at any rate, even down in Dixie, and the adminis- tration jockeys will have their hands full when they undertake to carry MT Taft over the 400 line. Ante-conven- tion favorites do. not always win. Ad- notwithstanding the rule, it looks like Taft.

Prospects Fer The New Year

The new year finds our banks prac- tically on a cash basis. Scrip is valu- able for souvenir purposes, but for currency purposes it is on it's last legs, and no one is sorry Scrip is not cash in appearance or in morals. The gov ernment is not behind it, and it's going is not mourned.
 It's disappearance is a harbinger of monetary ease and business activity in the new year. It is but one, how ever, of many. The financial horizon , is full of suspicious signs. The pre- ys- nn currency disappeared as the 'n'uin Ear came in. From the indus ne" enters come intelligence of the U '" fption of production. Idle men

Must Have Good Roads

The good roads movement, backed by the United States department of agriculture and by some of the states, has, after an active campaign of edu- cation covering several years, begun to show practical results. In the coun- try at large the roads today are vastly better than they were decade ago; but in the southern states there is still great room for improvement. As this question of county highways is one which directly affects the people there would not be an impossible rural road anywhere if the public were only to become aroused and bring about the necessary concert of action.
 In Jefferson county the matter of roads is now attracting general atten- ton and people who had too long tol- erated rough and miry highways are rising up in protest, determined that our road system shall be brought to the modern standard, such as condi- tions here especially demand. In this connection it must be obvious to every intelligent citizen that the construc- tion and maintenance work should be in charge of a high class engineer. Jaf r1, I oif of experience and thorough technical equipment, employed to give his entire time to the county's service. Under the Board of Revenue he should plan and superintend all road and bridge building and should be held respon- sible for the maintenance of the pub lie highways. In short, such an off, cial should bear the same relation to the county that the city engineer bears to the large municipality. And, as every one knows, competent city en- gieners do more for the making of great cities than almost all the other other factors combined. What Julian Kendrick, for example, has done for Birmingham an engineer of his type would, if clothed with ample author ity, do for Jefferson county.
 In the days of imperial Rome road building was a science and it has come in our time to be recognized as one of the most important of all the sciences. Improved methods and inn proved machinery are being introduced 1 all the while, and therefore the county engineer, like the city engineer, must be progressive and abreast of all phases of modern construction and engineering economies.
 In any event, the day of bad roads should be a thing of the past; and certain it is that bad roads in Jeffer- son county must go.

Practical Education

Within the past ten years a marked advance in technical education and manual training has been made in the south, but much remains to be done in this direction. Those engaged in southern development and all edcu- cators who appreciate the demands of modern industrial activities point out with emphasis the necessity of afford ing our young men larger opportunities for acquiring theoretical knowledge along with manual skill in the me- chanic arts. In order for the carpen- ter, machnist or mill hand to attain the highest degree of proficiency head and hand must be trained together.
 In a number of colleges and high schools in Alabama manual training departments have been added to the usual branches of education; and this departure is already beginning to bear good fruit. But industrial education

 Rocky Mountain Shorty, who operates string of traps on Hoodoo Creek, is the latest candidate for deunuciation as a nature faker by the president. Shorty as serts that as he was carrying home live rabbit, caught in one of his traps, a large eagle swooped down from behind him and seized the rabbit in its talons. The tre- mendous jerk the bird gave the rabbit so startled Shorty he dropped the game and uttered a yell The howl caused the eagle to drop the rabbit, and bunny promptly took to his legs and escaped The eagle alighted on nearby tree and Shorty, enraged at the gall of the bird, shot it with his rifle.

must be fostered and pushed until the supply of properly equipped young men-and young women, too, is equal to the demand While the industrial occupations for women are compara- lively limited, those of the gentler sex who feel called upon to earn living will share in the benefits of trade schools.
 The National Society for the Pro- motion. of Industrial Education, re- gently established, will prove doubtless a most helpful agency in extending the system of training referred to. The executive committee for Alabama which organized yesterday is com posed of well-known and earnest men. The majority of them are professional educators, but educators who have had successful experience in directing tech nical college work. The chairman of the committee is Belton Gilreath, practical and popular business man and mine operator, who has been for years a leader in movements for the betterment of the social and moral condition of the masses. He will give time, thought and substantial aid to the work in hand and with character istlc enthusiasm will take up at once the duties laid upon him.
 With all the benefcient influences and organized efforts which are now being brought to bear on the indus trial education of southern youth, this section cannot fail to make long and fast strides in doing the worlds work and doing it in the right way.

The United States Army,

John Sharp Williams bill to reduce the regular army to S5,O0O men will never be considered by the military committee of the House." said a Spanish. war vet eran.
 ''If he had proposed an army of 50,0o0 his bill might possibly have been favor ably received; but when he names 350O0 as the maximum no one who is at all familiar with military matters will take his measure seriously.
 "The nominal strength of the army is now about 66,O00 men, but as a matter of fact it is below 5O,OOO, owing to the large number of assertions that have taken place recently. The President has authority to increase the army to 100000, but only Cnogress can enlarge it be- yond that limit
 Soon after the Civil war the army was reorganized with a limit of 25OO0 men. That small number served well enough for several years but it was found that even as nucleus force, it was in- adequate. As far back as 1880 general officers like Schofield urged that the limit be raised to 3O0vO or 5000. Today with troops in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines an army of 5000O would be only equal to a force of 25,OO0 years ago. I do not believe in a large regular army, but this country should certainly have enough soldiers tc maintain an efficient nucleus.

fieer for fully twenty-five years of this time. It is his duty, regardless of pollti- cal issues involved in his election as chief of police, to go to work organize his force and enforce the law to the letter as it stands.
 In the past VIC know that with the small number Of men on the Birming- ham police force, too much time has been given to breaking up little negro crap games and watching alleged gam blers while too little has been given to the real protection of the homes and business houses of the people of Birmingham. The people pay for a po- lice force for the purpose of protect ing themselves and their property. The capture of one burglar, the guarding of property and the quick turning in of a fire alarm is of far more importance to the welfare of a community than the use of the police force to spy out negro crap games in some back alley.
 I hope under the present police ad- ministration we shall see police officers on the streets with their coats buttoned up and looking like real policemen. Bir- mingham is too large a town to have a slovenly police force. We have a most excellent fire department now Let us have a police force as well drilled and as well handled as is the fire depart ment

eign question, for the Japanese war scare has run it's empty course-no domestic question, for the presidential election presents no new or unfamiliar problem. The year should be one in which familiar questions will be dis cussed in a friendly spirit, and it should be one in which sound settle ments and constructive work will go hand in hand. It is to be an uplifting year that will fully restore confidence, and that will restore prosperity on a sound, sane basis.

Senator Johnston In Boston.

The following letter, written by prom inent Boston banker, giving some facts concerning the recent address of Senator Johnston on the negro question, before the Algonquin club in Boston, on De- cember 31, has been received by a friend in the south:
 T cannot let the day go by without writing you few lines to tell you of the great pleasure I experienced in meeting and listening to Senator Johnston speak at the Algonquin club last night. He certainly should be proud of the won derfully cordial reception that was given him. He spoke for almost two hours, and when he spoke of stopping there were cries of Keep on! Keep onr It was one of the most enjoyable occasions that l have experienced for many years and both before the speaking and after the speaking, I enjoyed talking to the senator and hearing him tell a few of his good stories, which reminded me of the many pleasant ones which I heard with you at Sugar Hill
 q send you, under separate cover, half dozen copies of the Boston Globe, which will give you a report of what Senator Johnston said. I would also say that the senator has been invited to come on and speak to us again next December 31 and l hope that you, at that time, will cer- tainly not miss coming
 After hearing the senator speak on the subject which he chose, I can safely say that am a northern southerner, and you have no idea how many of the same kind are right here in Massachusetts, although you may perhaps not realize it. It is a great sight to see the southern and northern soldiers sitting so happily side by side on such occasions as last night.
