Veto a Mistake

Mayor Wards veto of the street tax ordinance is a mistake. The city can not raise sufficient revenue otherwise. It is unfortunate but necessary. The people of Birmingham have voted in favor of a law. which cut off a large proportion of the revenue to maintain the city government. If this revenue can be raised otherwise, then Mayor Ward should set forth in detail his plan of making up the deficit. Other wise, the street tax ordinance should be put through the aldermanic board over his veto.
 This is no time for quibbling. It Is a condition that confronts Birming- ham. The man or the men at the helm is or are there to do something. The people of Birmingham are in no humor to go to a one-ring circus to see the playing of politics. They want busi- ness man or business men in charge. The revenue must be raised. The men in charge are responsible. If they can not do it they should resign and let others take their places.
 If Mayor Ward insists upon vetoing the street tax ordinance, let it go at that and leave it to Mayor Ward to provide the revenue to conduct the citys affairs. The only interest The Age-Herald has in the issue is to insist that Birmingham shall keep pace with the times. It shall not go backward.

cANApA's FUTURE.

From the Washington Post.
 ncanada offers greater opportunities for development than any country in the world" said James White. chief geo grapher of the Dominion government al the Arlington last night, ''and we LOOK for greater activity there in the next few years than will be found in any other part of the globe. We have so many wonderful resources that there is a chance for every one. Our forests are the most extensive of any country. While 1t Is true that white pine has been cut rapidly and is going faster than other timber, perhaps we have practically inexhaustible supply of spruce, which is the wood most used for pulp. There has been some agitation as to whether is would not be advisable to place an export duty on spruce, thereby saving to the Canadian people the labor necessary in converting the green timber into pulp, instead of exporting it in the raw state
 Canada will be one of the greatest wheat countries in the world in a short time, Every year the exports of wheat from the United States are decreasing, because the country is growing so rapid ly that it is consuming larger propor- ton of the production than formerly. The world therefore will have to depend upon Argentina and Canada for the de- hciency. We can grow the best wheat in Canada that can be raised anywhere. The fact Is that farther north wheat Is produced the better 1t is. Despite the duty, we exported to the United States large quantity of wheat last year be- cause of it's superior milling qualities.
 Naturally any business depression in this country would have Its effect upon Canada, because the Dominion is the third largest buyer of goods from the United States. Germany and England alone exceed Canada in this respect. The recent financial furry here, therefore. made itself felt in Canada, but the ef- fects are rapidly disappearing"

THE WOMAN OF 6n.

From the New York World.
 A Roumanian baroness a noted beauty. has killed herself at 50 through fear of outliving her good looks.
 Why should she have despaired? Mme Recamier was past 50 when she exer- cised her greatest attraction, past 60 when prince and a celebrated man of letters were rival suitors for her hand Ninon de L'Enclos maintained her hold on the affections of men till nearly 90.
 No woman need now regard herself as passee at 50. Ripened charms should then be at their meridian. Society. so far from relegating her to the background, ignores the flight of years in a belle of past conquests. In the words of a com pentent London observer, there has been a complete disappearance of the middle aged woman. The social world seems now to be made up of girls, young married women and old ladies who are great grandmothers. Every one is fresh and no one has wrinkles. Every one has bright eyes, flower face and a slender form, and every one Is dressed to per lection the same style suiting equally well the girl of IS and her mother"
 A woman will always be as young as she looks, and to look 35 at 50. thanks to the preservative art of the beauty specialist and the dressmaker is no longer difficult.

Foreiun Trade FiQureS

The returns for December show a great loss in imports, but great in crease in exports. The excess of ex- ports over imports was $114, ,89O,OO0 in December. Not in December in the present century has there been an ex- cess so large. On account of hard times the country is not able to absorb so much champagne, diamonds and silks, but it is able to export pro- visions, breadstuffs and the like, and the result is an unusually large trade balance in our favor.
 We imported gold in November and December to the amount of $107,000,- 900, and we paid for that gold in an excess of exports over imports. The excess of December left nearly eight millions of dollars to our credit beyond the gold imported in both November and December.
 Our iron and steel manufacturers sent abroad products in 1907 worth fully s2OO,OO0,OOO, as against $62,oOO,- 900 in 1897, and $16,250,0O0 in 1887. The machinery sent out in 1907 was $S7 100000 worth. We send ma chinery in increasing quantities to all parts of the world-to Africa as we'll as to Japan, to South America as well as to the industrial centers of Europe. Our iron and steel exports are full of promise, because they are constantly increasing. All of our for eign trade figures are highly credita- ble. The account for two years stands as follows:
 Merchandise ex-
 ports ......s... .s, ,s2S 4ss 4S4 $1,7sS, ,24S, 4s4 Merchandise im-
 ports ............ 1.429, ,326 $50 1920, ,5O1, ,572 Excess of exports. $500, ,754 $477, TAI, ,s62 Net silver exports. 15,613,SH 16,729.250

the disappearance of all feeling or an- mostly. This treaty will forever bar out Japanese coolies, and no doubt it will make the two powers on either side of a broad sea friendly in the fullest sense of the word.
 This country cannot afford to be- come the fayorite recipient of an Asi- atic horde. Our civilization and labor system forbids, and Japan sees that we are acting as she would were she in our shoes. The forthcoming treaty will settle all differences, and then the jingoes in the two countries will have to devise a new war scheme. There will be no war between Japan and the United tsates, either presently or at any time that can be foreseen, for neither country desires it, and neither will seek it.

Soil Surveys Next Year

It was Oscar Underwood who caused the first rural free delivery route to be established in this state, and it was he, too, who induced the department or agriculture to make the first county soil survey in Alabama That soil sur vey was made in Perry county, and It bids fair to lead on to the cultivation of tobacco on large scale in this state. This will certainly be the case if the boil weevil becomes disastrous or even damaging in the next five years to the cotton crop. The leaves of tobacco plants are proof against all weevils.
 MT. Underwood is now striving to have the appropriation for soil surveys increased to $500,000. He is leading the fight, and if need be he will carry it to the floor of the House. The south particularly needs soil surveys. They are an excellent guide to the farmers and to all newcomers. No doubt MT. Underwood hopes to put every unsur- veyed county in this state in way 10 get a soil survey. The appropriation for the present fiscal year was S2o6,- GOO, and an appropriation of $5OO,0OO would give every unsurVeyed county chance to ascertain what it's soils are and what they are good for.
 In these days of enormous appropri- ations it does not seem as if Congress should hesitate over grant of $50O,- GOO for soil surveys. The farmers are the backbone of the country, and MT. Underwood is fighting their battle in this matter of soil surveys, and very important matter it is. Perry county bears witness to it's importance.

A Great C 0mposer

While this country is yet too young to rank in the realm of music with nations like Italy, Germany, Austria, France, or even Russia, it has within the past 50 years claimed few com posers whose works will live. Edward Alexander Mcdowell, a native of New York City, who died last Thursday, was master composer, and he was recognized by musical authorities at home and abroad as the greatest that America has produced. He wrote more music than any contemporary composer in the United States, and all of it was of high artistic value.
 McDowell received his musical edu- cation in Europe under famous men, but he was distinguished for his indi- vidualism, and his compositions, there- fore. are in nowise limitations of for
