Penmanship of Authors.
Tit-Rits.

Lll-GAtS-
 Among present day novelists the prize for good handwriting should be awarded to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His manuscripts are a perfect picture of clear. precise callighaphy, as easy to read as type.
 Another good penman Is Max Penn berton. and no one can see even as much as his signature without detect ing the artist in every curve. He Is trying for the eyes, for he errs on the side of minuteness. One of the most businesslike fists" Is that of Frank T. Bullen BuIlen told the present writer that the very act Of writing was a real joy to him and that he was never happier than when covering page after page with his sloping, schoolmasterlike characters.
 Hall Caine writes a very plain but not particularly distinguished hand. Unlike F. T. Bullen. he declares the act of writing bores him. yet he never dictates. He can. however, write any where. even like Mark Twain. in bed. Stanley weyman and J. M. Barrie are both good penmen, but Coulson Kerna- han often causes brain racking on &C., count of the smallness of his writing.

Education and Prohibition

NoW IOTk COIIlfuSFClaI
 Under the liquor-license law of Ala bama recently repealed by the LegisIa- ture,. with e stringent prohibition law enacted in its place. the county of Mo- bile in which is situated the city of the same named derived an annual revenue of about ss0.00o for the support of the public schools The prohibition law has left these schools with practically no financial support; and while certain schools were better abolished entirely than to survive and thrive on the "taint- ed money" of the liquor traffic, the more practical among us win contend that tax money from whatever source once covered into the public treasury cannot be taken. out for better pur-. pose than the education of the young: County have taken a most impractical way. however, of showing their re- sentiment at the action of the Legisla- tax fund from their public schools.
 A popular election has just been held there on the proposition to impose "One mill" or n-cents-per-one- hun lie schools; the anti-prohibitionists fought the proposition at the polls and won--by very close margin, however, their majority in the city being only 400 votes with a smaller number for the county-at-large. They now propose vsry-materialiy shortened terms for llt COuHty puOltC SCtOOtGs AaI HCly duced salaries for all the teachers and a general cutting down of nll the eA penses incidental to public education: This means, of course, pounding of the prohibitionists over the backs of thousands of school children, the chil- dren of prohIbitionIsts and Of the "antts" as well--for 1t robs them in part of their right to the best erucational privileges that the county can afford, and it. therefore. promises vicious results In the future. The plain purpose of the antis Is to depopulariZe prohibition in Alabama by making 1t appear that the new law strikes something very like a death blow at popular education.
 A far better way to depopulartze the thing would be to Increase the facilities for public education. For only by thorough education alone can the rls- ing generation come to understand the political impTacticability of prohibition, its utter frnpOssiblllty as a legal and an econonns proposition and the fact that 1t yearly makes arrant hypocrites of nyrfads of otherwise good and sen sfbla men end women.

NOT A CERTAINTY.

Those enthusiastic followers of tbe administration who believe. or think they believe, that the nomination and election of Taft are assured facts may the fence when 1t Is over. The Secre- tary has himself shown a want ot tact in his campaigning that is discourag- ing to those who are building their hopes on him as their leader. and some of his following Is not of kind to commend him to the sensible and conservative elements of his party. His followers claim that it will be i'm possible to defeat him, but that is not control a majority of the delegates, and when he is beaten. says The ritts- burg Sun, "the Federal nephews and other relations of the present adminis- traitor. the hero worshippers and the thick -and-thin adulators of the spec tacular President, those to whom sound and glitter and hurrah are all there is of sense. must be prevented from stampediug to Roosevelt. The allies, even when these two arduous tasks have been safely accomplished. have the sti'l more difficult problem of fixing upon g beneficiary of their program and getting support to put it through"
 Much as our Republican brethren en- joy themselves taunting Democrats or the want of harmony in our party we are not prepared to admit that they themselves are of one accord, not by several degrees. Those of them who have let 1t become plain that they op- pose the nomination of Taft are wei! aware that they have no favors to expect from the present administration. nor from the next. if Taft is success full. hence they will be more deter mined in Iheir efforts to defeat him.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-06-10

Unfortunately for them and their hopes. it requires only bare majority of the delegates to nominate. If the Republican convention stood to the two-thirds rule, as the Democrats do, the anti-Taft men would have a much better show to defeat him than they now have. put it is not impossible for them to succeed. as 1t is. Whether, if nominated. he can be elected depends largely on the action of the Denver convention. Tho Democrats can select man and a platform that will solid fly the party as nearly as it can be done. and will draw support from Re- publicans ard Independents. or they can put out ticket and platform that will not even command the support of the party. Which will be done remains to be seen.
