TAFT AND WAGES.

In his speech of acceptance, IaIt
says the republican system OF pro-
lection has led to the establishment
of q rate of wages here that has scat
ly enhanced the standard of living OF
the laboring man. what rate ..
wage does he mean and what stand
ard of living? According to the protec-
tive theory. the cotton mill operatives
are, highly protected, as are the gar
ment workers. Is Taft speaking OF the
wages of southern and New England
cotton mill operatives? Is he speaking
of the standard of living and the
wages of the garment workers of New
York's east side?
If republican protection protects, es-
tablishes wages and standard of llv-
ing. why are the wages of unprotected
bricklayers higher than the wages OF
protected garment workers? Why are
the wages of highly protected pottery
workers lower than the wages OF I'M
protected carpenters?
If protection fixes high wages, why
are wages in the same lines of protect
cd industry different in different parts
of the country? If protection insures
high wages why are there so many
strikes against wage reductions and
why are there so many wage reduc-
tions? Is Mr.. Taft trying to fool the
people,

Why all this talk about What Taft

anything to arouse even comment ex-
cept when as judge he issued the

court against labor. No, when it comes
to having done things, Mr.. Taft has
nothing on Mr.. Bryan.

Rapid Movement of the Crop

Up to October IS there had been ginned 6.S3O,7S0 bales, record to that date unsurpassed. Up to the date men tioned of last year there had been gin ned but 4,42O,25S bales. These fl gures do not necessarily mean that the crop is 2,400,000 bales larger than last years crop. They simply show what fine weather could enable the farmers to do in the way of picking and moving the crop. Up to October Is the weather was without a flaw. Since that time rains have fallen in Oklahoma and northern Texas, and killing frosts have stopped further maturing of bolls by the plants in those districts. The ginning total is due to an early crop and the finest of weather, and the years total is still an unselved prob lem.
 Alabama shares in the rapid move
 
 ment of cotton. Up to October IS nearly 100000 bales had been ginned in this state-to be exact, 690,788 bales. At that date last year only 419,S34 bales had been ginned, but in the year 19O5-O6 the ginnings aggre- gated 644,165 bales. The total crop in that year was but 11,345,9 ,989. It will thus be seen that the ginnings to Oc- tober IS are no criterion by which to judge the years crop.
 AS in former years, we will have to await >later reports from the gins in order to ascertain the sum total. The Texas crop is large, but outside of Texas no one anticipates a crop of unusual proportions. Ordinarily less than one-third of the crop is brought into sight at the end of October, but fine weather and hard roads may in- crease October's percentage.

RUSSIAN REFUGEE
 STILL IN CUSTODY

New York October 2.-An effort to se- cure freedom without the formality of further hearings for Jan Janoff Pouren, the Russian refugee, accused of various crimes and under detention, pending de- cision upon the Russian governments ap- plication for his extradition, came to naught today through decision of Judge Holt in the United States court here. Congressman Herbert Parsons, counsel for Pouren, asked the court yesterday to vacate the second warrant of arrest se- cured by counsel for the Russian govern ment. which was served upon Pouren im- mediately upon the receipt here of an or- der from Washington, releasing him from custody under the first warrants. The ground of the application was that the cer- tifcate of inquiry had not been issued by the Secretary of State to the Russian rep- resentative as provided in the treaty con- corning cases of this kind. The court held that the issuance of such a certificate in the first proceeding were sufficient.
 Judge Holt referred the Pouren matter to Samuel M. Hitchcock, United States commissioner in extradition proceedings, instructing Commissioner Hitchcock "to proceed with the hearing and take what further action is necessary in the case"

DEMOCRATS WILL
 GAIN NEXT HOUSE

Edgar L. Clarkson of Tuscaloosa, sec- retary to Congressman Richmond F. Hobson, is in Birmingham today.
 Captain Hobson is presently in Ore gon, making speeches for William Jen- nings Bryan and democracy. He writes his secretary that the chances of the democrats carrying Oregon are good.
 Captain Hobson," stated MT. Clark son, writes that in his opinion MT. Bryan's chances grow brighter day by day. Captain Hobson says it matters not how the presidential election goes, feels certain that the next Congress will be democratic.
 /Captain Hobson was billed to speak in Tennessee and Kentucky, but at the urgent request Of MT. Mack and MT. John W. Clifton, he was released from these engagements and sent into the west. Cpatain Hobson's views on a bigger navy and the threatening as- pect of Japan relative to this country were considered by the democratic leaders as good campaign thunder in Oregon, California and other states on the Pacific coast"
 MT. Clarkson states that while there is no organized fight in Tuscaloosa county against the Ragsdale amend ment, he feels sure that Tuscaloosa will poll a big vote against it.

Blrmingham to Tampa

The gap between Brooksville, Fla, and Thomasville, Ga, is to be filled by the Tampa Northern railroad which is a subsidiary line of the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad. When it is completed this district will have a new and more direct line to Tampa and the west coast
 It is reported that the unfinished section of the Tampa Northern will be completed by July l next, and that trains between Birmingham and Tampa will then be put on. This addition to this districts railroad system will we'll nigh render it complete in the south east
 The general railroad system of the country is so linked together that ex- tensions are sometimes not noticed, but the opening of new direct line to Tampa is a matter of too great im- portanee to be overlooked, and no doubt when the Tampa Northern is completed to Thomasyille it will at tract due attention. The Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic, starting in this city, will then have terminals at At lanta, Brunswick and Tampa.

Canada'S Election

A new Parliament was elected in Canada on Monday, and the liberals. led by Premier Wilfred Laurier, de. feated MT. Borden and the tories. The liberal majority in the House recently dissolved was 66, and the liberal ma jority in the coming five years may not exceed 40. It will be a good work ing majority, and the party that has been in power since 1896 feels itself vindicated. It had been freely charged with land-grant corruption and the like, but it had accomplished a great deal-had lifted Canada up until it Is a nation in all but name-and it won a great victory before the people.
 This victory is of great interest to the people of this country, for the Laurier ministry will not only control the Canadian tariff, but it is also com mitted to the policy of government ai' to great transportation schemes re3ch lfnx4ea the. MlnnipsE. country and seIer

GRAVES SPEAKS ON
 BRYAN AND KERN

Atlanta, October 27.-Bryan and Kern and their political history were the topics discussed tonight by John Temple Graves, candidate for vice president on the in- dependence ticket in a speech before his fellow townspeople in this city. MT. Graves said in part:
 ''I have always been true, to that demo- cratic principle which my fathers cher ished and helped to express in the earlier democratic party. l have. always fol- lowed the principle rather than the indi- vidual politician.
 Tn the time past I had hoped that a leadership in which I wholly believed and trusted might bring back the organization to it's real mission and it's earlier faith. For eight years my faith was pinned to William J. Bryan as the hope of demo- cratic reform.
 "I am sorry with all my heart that my idol has shown it's feet of clay. It would be simply wanton to say this if I did not have good reasons for my lost faith in the peerless leader
 Well, then to begin: MT. Bryan is now the democratic party. He has absorbed it. The Denver convention was the plaything Of his will The platform is all his own.
 "For 10 years MT. Bryan has denounced Grover Cleveland increasingly as bunco steerer," who stabbed his party after be- traylng it, and yet at Denver, facing an election before the people, he prepares or supervises or directs a resolution which pays tribute to Grover Cleveland in un- measured eulogy."
 In conclusion MT. Graves said:
 And if the independent party should fail in its faith l shall just as unhesitat- ingly turn my back upon it as have done the democratic party"

Good Roads Amendment

The election is coming on, and the people who desire better roads should not forget to vote for the Overton amendment. There is no reason in the world why that amendment should not be adopted, for it simply unties the hands of the state legislators in the matter of roads without incurring a money is in sight the legislature would be authorized by it to turn the net earnings of the convicts over to the counties for the betterment of the pub lie roads. It is not mandatory. It does not trench upon the claims of the old soldiers or of public education. It would simply remove the shackles that had been placed upon the legislature by the constitution of 1901 in the mat ter of good loads.
 Alabama should get in line with the good roads movement which is felt in nearly every state. Georgia has ordered all her convicts to be put at work on the public roads of the state, and the Overton amendment provides a like result in a much more economic manner. It calls for no additional tax, no debt whatever. It simply permits the legislature to appropriate money to the roads when it is on hand unused and unappropriated.
 It, too, puts the state in a position to secure federal aid, for federal ai ] will assuredly be based on home action. In order to make the roads at all good the nation, the state and the county will have to act together. It is a stupendous task, and Alabama should get in a position to join the great movement when it begins to become effective.
 Don't fail to vote for the Ove1ton amendment on Tuesday next It puts Alabama in llne with the other pro gressiye states.
