Jones Valley a Paradise

President Raul of the Commercial club proposes to build a city beautiful on broad, expert and scientific lines. While Mayor Ward appeals to indi- Yiduals ito slick things up" President Kaul proposes to ask the organization he conducts to bring here specialists to plan and set down in black and white all the civic improvements which the city should inaugurate in the years 10 come. These specialists would map out park system, a tunnel system, a public highway system, a waterworks system and all the other systems that city of half million people is capable of. and to say when and where and how the Improvements should be wrought out, taking, say, the rest of the century to work i'll.
 This would be an application of busi- ness foresight and shrewdness to pub lie affairs. The plan is right, and the sole fear is that the right specialists in municipal work would not be called in. But if the club backs President Raul in his desire to build city beau tiful we may be sure he will leave no stone-no pecialist-unturned that promises to carry out in good style and within home resources his plans and ideals.
 Other cities have adopted plans GOV ering long periods of time, and those are the cities that have become ex- ceedingly attractive. President Kaul is proceeding on true artistic and scientific lines, and every good citizen should lend him helping hand. This valley and it's lovely surrounding hills can be treated with rare effect, and President Kauls plans are by no means mere dreamings. They can be carried out, although plenty of time should be taken in which to secure the best re- suits.

Ballots Full of Names

The official ballot which will be handed to the voter on Tuesday next will contain fully 100 names, and from this long array the voter is expected to make a selection. And yet today no man can name the electors of his party, or of any party. The multi plicity of names leads to confusion in the minds of many, and the regret is that the ballot has become more intrl- cate rather than more simple. When one has to select 15 or 20 names out of 100 the task would be well-nigh i'm possible on the part of the average voter were he not aided by party em- blems or party distinctions.
 Before the Australian ballot was ili- troduced party ballots were simplicity itself, but all that has gone never to return, simply because there cannot and should not be but one official bal lot for each voter.
 The Alabama ballot is no longer than the ballot in any other state. But the other states that have adopted the Australian system have retained it's best features, namely, it's secrecy. This. Alabama has not done. No bal lot is secret in this state, and no ballot is therefore absolutely free in Ala bama.
 When reform stalks through Ala bama in good earnest the ballot will become secret and therefore free, and the cumulative feature of the poll tax will be abolished. A numbered ballot is no longer necessary, even to grat- fly the court house politicians, and the constitution makers of 1901 were un- duly cautious when they made poll tax cumulative. They have already rendered 100000 white citizens non- voters, and the list of unpaid taxes is heightened each year. No other state has adopted the cumulative feature and Alabama would be better off with out it.

That Treasury Deficit

State Treasurer Walter D. Seed says the appropriations of the present leg islature will empty the treasury, in all human probability, in the course of time, but he thinks the bottom will not be reached in less than three years certainly not before December, 1909. The large sums voted to the higher institutions of learning aggregate over a million dollars, and this sum will be drawn out in or before 1910. Other appropriations were on liberal scale, and these induce Treasurer Seed to concede deficit in the near future. unless indeed the states taxable val ues are increased rapidly enough to meet the appropriations already voted.
 At the beginning of the present fiscal year the state had on hand $1,360,000, and this would seem to render deficit impossible before October 1 next, when the fiscal year will be ended. Trouble will come in the next fiscal year or some subsequent one. The next fiscal year will be ended and a

WAR ON RATS IN LONDON,

From the New York Tribune
 At least three of the underground rail- ways of London are now free from rats Once the rats had obtained an entry into the tubes they multiplied rapidly until recently their death warrant was decreed as it was found that they showed an in- creased liking for nibbling electric cable covering. To carry on the war 1000 tubes of a special virus were obtained. This virus only harms rats and mice, and once eaten by them, they suffer from an inordinate dread of being underground in a confined space. They feel great long ing to get to the upper air, combining with consuming desire for one last long sip of clear, cold water. The officials prepared the virus and spread it at night. A few days after eating it the rats be- gan their jostling rush to the surface. and each morning when the stations were opened the corpses of scores of rodents were found.

standino Bv the Party.

"If MT. Bryan should be defeated a multitude of those who opposed his nomi- nation will rise up and say, I told you so,'" remarked a. strict party man, but it is the duty of all democrats of what ever shade of opinion to accept the re- suit with composure. I voted in the primary for Johnson, but will vote with pleasure for Bryan on Tuesday.
 Those who did not want MT. Bryan nominated had the privilege of organizing a movement in ample time to have brought about a different result. But at Denver the Nebraskan was unmistakably the choice of a large majority of active democrats, and that being so, there should be no acrimonious or sighting remarks concerning MT. Dryan. We should all stand together Yer the election and help to hold up Mr. Bryan's hands in the event he is the winner; or pull together for har- mony for the campaign of 1912"

Governor Patterson Of Tennessee

The courage and the shrewdness of Governor Patterson of Tennessee. both brought to bear promptly, promise to crush night-riding in the south, for it is as good as settled that the mur derers of Captain Rankin are to be hanged. They are in jail, the evidence against them is complete, and not even the perversity of petit juries can cheat the gallows.
 Governor Pattersons spirit and re- sourcefulness were more than match for the night riders, and the entire south is indebted to him, deeply in- debted He has crushed night-rider. ism. Imagine what the situation would have been if the murder of Captain Rankin had gone unrevenged. Noth- ing was easier. Governor Patterson could have left the business in the hands of the sheriff and prosecuting attorney of Obion county. He could have done this, but he did nothing of the sort. He abandoned his campaign work to hurry to the scene of the crime. and he took into his own ex. perienced hands the management of the entire issue. Tt is high time, D says the New York Evening Post. With six states affected, and the pos sibility of cotton-burning on a large scale this fall, the south cannot be- come too angry that it's name should thus be tarnished Its business men must realize by this time that the threat of such lawlessness chills, if it does not paralyze, their trade, and is another reason why capital moves so freely to the north and west and so slowly southwark"
 However unjust the implied charges of the Post may be, they at least show what a service Governor Patterson has rendered, not alone to Tennessee, but to all the other southern states. Not content with the issuance of a proc lamation, he secured detectives, and he put behind those detectives the military arm of his state. He got the
  murderers, and he has in hand eyi- dence with which to convict them.
 Governor Patterson left his cam. paign for reelection unfinished, but the people of Tennessee will take care of that He will be reelected by a great vote, and night-riderism is crushed beyond recovery, and law and order reign again.

Revival In Business

Trade prospects are certainly bright ening, not even the turmoil of a cam paign staying the recuperative process. Says the editor of Dun's Review:
 Securities have recovered an average # almost s20 and are 5 higher than a
 ear ago; idle freight cars are reduced
 } 125,O00; railway earnings are not 10
 CT cent below those of last year; bank
 <changes average only 10 to 15 per
 snt lower; money is so abundant that commercial paper is sought at to 5 per cent, which stimulates legitimate business; failures in September involved smaller liabilities than in the same month last year, and the weekly num- Der now averages less than 25o."
 These conditions are encouraging, especially when they are entrusted with those of last winter and spring. No doubt the presidential election has caused in some industries hesitation, but the general upward trend in busi- ness conditions has,. however, been maintained. As soon as the election is we'll out of the way all lines of busi- ness, especially of manufacturing, promises to widen and deepen to satis- factory volume. There are already signs of visible gain in the iron and steel industry. Structural steel is wanted, and orders for rails are com ing in Even in cotton spinning there is promise of return of consumption on a comfortable scale. Raw cotton has not thus far commanded satis- factory price. but it's tendency is up- ward, and the cotton mills will no doubt share in the general uplift.
 Business men have not been idle in the last 12 months, and their persever- ance and courage will no doubt be re- warded in the coming 12 months. Time Is great healer, and our merchants and manufacturers have never lost

More Street Liahts Needed.

Many of the streets are dangerous at night because they are poorly lighted, and one of the thoroughfares where light is badly needed is Twenty-first street on the south side of the bridge,' said a. resident of the South Highlands.
 Persons driving from the business dis trict to the Highlands after dark are complaining vigorously of insufficient light from point just beyond the bridge out Twenty street and along Twenty second street.
 Street lights are relatively inexpen- sive and as they are among the most im- portant of our public utilities there is no excuse for our highways being in dark ness. Even villages. as a rule, are well lighted in these times. And poorly lighted city, therefore, should be un' known
