How Editors Get Rich

-alver good deal of study and work
W. have at last figured ont why SO
many country editors get rich. Here
is the secret of success: A child is born
in the neighborhood, the attending
physician gets $50, the editor gives the
lound-lunged yOungster and the happy
parrn;sa "scnd-off" and gets 500 1t is
chrItcned; the minister gets $40 and
the editor gets 500 1t grows up and
marries; the editor publishes another
long winded howery article and tells a
q III II lies about the beautiful accomp-
li'h.'.l bride, the minister gets $40 and
pi""a of cake, the editor gets 5000. In
the course of time it dies. and the
doc: II gets from $50 to 500, the
minister perhaps gets another $15. the
undertaken gets from $50 to 500; the
edit }" publishes notice of the death
and M obituary two columns long,
lodge and society resolutions, Il lot of
poetry and free card of thanks, and

A Natural Reply.
Coaster.

There have been many good stories
printed in the newspapers recently
about the late Bishop Henry G. Potter.
but this anecdote is not so we'll known
as some others:
The bishop was once visiting small
town in Pennsylvania. One Sunday
morning after church was over he went
to the Sunday school and began talk
ing to class of small boys. During
dis conversation he put numerous
questions to them of biblical charac-
ter, and finally he asked, in very i'm
pressive manner:
Now, boys can you tell me what it
il which has a large bushy tail,
bright, piercing eyes and hopes from
branch to branch?'
The boys listened with breathless
attention for the bishops voice be-
came more and more solemn, and
there was silence for minute when
he ceased speaking.
Suddenly small boy piped up:
II know! It's Godv'-W Washington

BRYAN ON PROTECTION

The first of Mr.. Bryan's promised
detailed discussion of the subordinate
issues OF the campaign had the tariff
FOR its theme. 1t was delivered in Des
MONIES, Ia, last night because, as Mr..
Bryan says, Iowa republicans have long
been working for tariff reform.
In his hands the tariff problem be-
comes simple. The difference between
the two parties on the issue is clear.
While Taft and his platform declare for
revision and means as well ND as down
with duties the democrats stand for a
reduction. Where trusts have killed
domestic competition the shelter of a
tariff is to be denied them i'm the event
~ democratic aSccndency
MT Bryan shows how the republicans
have changed front on this issue. No
more talk OF infant industries is heard
n new bride to the selfish is offered i'm
the injection of the reasonable profit
idea. Hitherto protection to American
labor was all that has been asked for.
1t is notorious that the republican
tariff schedules have been written by
the actual bcncfciaripS. When the
tarlft is to be revised Mr.. Bryan con-
tends that the people who pay the
enhanced prices protection ALWAYS
causes, should have Il voice in the
matter.
The theory of protection in nutshell
10 tax the many for the benefit of tho
Few, to give to certain preferred in
'itlStrleS an advantage in home markets
and that these will give employment to
w"rkingmcn, and hence stimulate other
lines OF industry. The last ten months
III PittSburg a center of protected in
iustricS. is enough to show the fallacy
IF this.
A considerable proportion of the
workingmcn in these protected i'll
''uStrics are aliens. a larger number
nave been unwillingly idle and desti.
tute. Other industries and the CITY
have had to make extraordinary efforts
,hld outlay to keep these men from
starving.
Their protected employers support
'uch men aus Dalzall III congress. They
IRE poSScSsorS of swollen fortunes and
liberal contributors to republican cam
pagn funds
These are some of the fruits of pro
lection. These are some of the reasons
why tariff revision should he entrusted
to other hands Pittsburg Sun.

WOMEN PLANNING ID CELEBRATE THE DAY Prohibition Election Held One Year Ago Wednesday GENERAL CALL IS ISSUED Ladies Will Gather at First Meth odst Church to Recount In-
 cidents of Historic Day
 In Birmingham.
GENERAL CALL IS ISSUED

Wednesday is the anniversary of the county. On October 2S, nearly one year ago, on a cold clear day the revolution struck Birmingham, or rather near-Bir- mingham It came marching down Twen- tieth street from Capitol park. waving banners and singing, while Jefferson, in high pitch of enthusiasm, suddenly went dry.
 It was day when the eyes of the whole country were on Birmingham, and is one of the historic dates in the his tory of Alabama.
 The Women's Temperance union has planned to celebrate the anniversary with a big meeting of the women of the dis trict. A call will be issued today to all the women in Jefferson county to meet at the First Methodist church at o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The call will go out to all the ladies' aid societies and the other organizations so that all the women who were interested in and fought for the victory will join in rejoicing at the end of the first year.
 Mrs. w. c. Sibley will probably direct the programme. Special music will be arranged, representatives of the Law and Order league will attend and make ad- dresses and the wonderful incidents of that great day will be recounted. Some of the same spirit which was exhibited around the polls will be aroused, and the ladies will be urged to keep alive the interest in the enforcement of the law.
 The weather man says that Wednesday will be almost the exact counterpart in temperature and weather of the famous day a year ago. While no parade is planned, it is expected that the demon stration will recall in more ways than one the work of the women against the saloon.

SPECIAL OFFICERS WILL
 LOOK AFZER PICKPOCKETS

With view of looking after pickpock- cts and other thieves who might follow the circus to Birmingham today, Chief Bodeker will have on the line of parade this morning 20 men in citizens clothes and 20 officers fin uniform.
 Chief Bodeker has received information from the authorities in the cities recently visited by the Ringing circus that there are quite a number of pickpockets fol- lowing the show. From one city he re- ceived word that the piekpockets were especially activee and that they got off with quite a lot of money and a number of watches and other articles of jewelry
 With these facts in view the chief has decided to put on the heavy force of men today. During the Confederate reunion Chief Bodeker's plan of handling the pickpockets worked exceptionally well. The officers were ever on the alert and only one or two insignificant cases were reported to the police department.
 Chief Bodeker will be among the men

NEGRO IS FATALLY
 SHOT BY OFFICER Two Were Caught In. Store on
 SouthSide ONE MAN LODGED IN JAIL Numerous Robberles and 6urglaries Were Reported to Police Yes terday as Having Been Com
 mitted Saturday Night.
ONE MAN LODGED IN JAIL

Police Officer Brown shot and probably fatally wounded Bob May, a negro, early yesterday morning
 Police Officers McGeever and Brown work the South Twentieth street beat to- gether. Yesterday morning shortly after 2:30 O clock they visited Rileys Wiseoa establishment on the corner of Avenue A and Twentieth street to test the door. They found the door open and upon go- ing inside to investigate they found two negroes in the place. As soon as the officers entered the two negroes made a dash for liberty, but the officers succeed ed in cornering them, upon which May turned upon the policemen and attempted to hit Officer Brown with a large ham mer. As soon as the negro struck he turned to flee, when Officer Brown fired. The bullet entered the negro's back, passed through the abdomen and lodged just under the skin in his stomach. At St. Vncent's hospital last night it was reported that May was just barely alive and his death was expected to occur be- fore this morning.
 Officer Brown also fired one shot at the negro who was with May. The bullet passed through the negro's hat. He was captured and placed in the city jail on charge of burglary.
 Saturday night proved another bad night for robberies and burglaries. Three ! burglaries, a case of highway robbery and a case of pickpocketing were reported ] at police headquarters yesterday. 1 Sometime during Saturday night the res idence of V. Sca1co, 4os South Twelfth street, was entered by burglars and $12O in money and several articles of jewelry l of considerable value were taken. The | police have no clue to the case. G. T. Henderson, who resides on Ave- nue G and Seventeenth street, Ensley, re- ported yesterday that he had been robbed of SIP in money and a claim on an At
 talla bank for $190 Saturday night. II seems that MT. Henderson spent the night in Birmingham and that he rented room at 2331h Second avenue. During the night he claims, someone entered his room and took the money
 Two other cases, one of highway rob- bery and one of pckpocketing, were re-
 ported to the police yesterday, but the
 details were withheld pending develop ments.
