Iron Market Active

Many conservative business men felt
that the election of Taft had been dis
counted for two weeks or more, and
that the announcement of the vote
would be followed by no immediate
activity in the commercial world. But
the optimists viewed the situation
otherwise and predicted a marked i'm
proyement all along the line. The op-
timists were right.
The stock market, which is usually
a good barometer, advanced several
points and was more bullish than at
any time during the past week. And
the iron market, another safe barome
ter, is responding to the buoyant feel
ing that fills the air. Birmingham quo
tations had ranged from $3.50 to $l3
for No. . since early in the fall and
furnace operators were holding firm,
but owing to the fact that the price
schedule of northern iron was on
lower basis the southern market was
comparatively quiet. Yesterday, how
ever, brought a strong demand for $13
iron. The northern market is now
sure to advance, and when it moves
upward Birmingham iron will be con-
sidered cheap at $3.50 to $14.
Recent inquiries from consumers
will materialize in contracts and large
tonnage will be sold within the next
ten weeks. AS an active iron market
stimulates general trade in the Bir-
mingham district, the prospects for a
genuine business revival are bright
indeed

"PRoeREss" IN CHINA,
rom the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
Reforms have a rocky road to travel in
China as well as elsewhere. No sooner
does the opium habit get its deathblow
than the menace of the cigarette looms
up as a national danger. Introduced into
China only a few years ago the value
of cigarette imports is second only to
that of kerosene and the habit is rapidly
spreading among men. women and chill
dren. Even the walls of the sacred
temples are blazoned by the flaming adj
yertisements of the various competing
cigarette brands. 1t needs only the in
PRODUCTION of the merry widow hat the
sheath gown and rapidfire fiYorce laws
to complete the awakening of China to
the beauties of Occidental civilization.

JOHN DREW HIMSELF AGAIN.

Arthur Ruhe, in Golfers.
He enters, touches a hand to his
cravat, delivers a few lines of thar
quaint ''modish" patter of his, with
final g's dropped. turns hand back
upward at about the level of his lowe"
coat pocket and deprecatingly surveys
his finger nails, sits down and with
light deliberation fiecks his right trous-
ers leg along the crease; presently,
with a line which leaves him master Of
the situation, stalks out of the door at
the rear of the stage, elbows slightly
out like some curious, stiffnecked,
extremely aristocratic bird. 1t is rather
useless to consider the artistic merits
of such play, because, in this case,
the public wants primarily to see, not
the play but Mr.. Drew-not what Mr..
Drew could do, even now, nor what he
might naturally have become had he
not petrifed SO early, but the reduced,
conventionalized. smoothly enameled
and highly solidifed general JohndreW
idea which the public seems to demand.
They get it and are apparently satisfied.

Revision OF The Tariff

Uncle Joe Cannon has been re-
elected: so has Dalzell so has Serene
Payne. and the republicans will have
a working majority in the next House
OF Representatives. These men will
cooperate with the Aldriches and Pen
roses in the Senate, and the Dingley
tariff will be revised until the prof is
guaranteed by the national republican
committee to manufacturers are Sc
cured. There will no doubt be good
deal of revision upward, and a good
deal of juggling with maximum and
minimum tariffs.
From the consumers point of view
this is regrettable. The Age-Herald

Alex Bonnyman of Atlanta, chief en-

Business Has a Clear Track

Every merchant and manufacturer
and railroad will be kept busy now
that the distractions of a general cleo
ton are ended and the farmers are
marketing bountiful crops. The de-
preston has been steadily departing
ever since last April, and the pace of
its departure will he accelerated i'll the
remaining days of the year
There is no reason why the year
1909 should not be one of the brightest
and most prosperous in our city. 1t
assuredly will be if good crops again
fill the land All things come from
the soil, and general prosperity is one
of those things. Given good crops next
year the situation will be all that We
can reasonably ask for.
The inherent strength of the bust
ness situation was demonstrated when
it went ON improving right through the
campaign Our merchants and manu-
facturers disregarded all scares and all
appeals, and it was this that went u
long way toward giving the campaign
an apathetic appearance. Business
moved along on promising lines, AMI
it stands ready today to meet the de-
mands of all consumers. 1t stands
ready to supply the people, and to do
it in an optimistic spirit.
The key to general business is op-
timism, and optimism is based as n
rule on good crops. We have one set
of good crops. and we hope to chroni-
Gle the harvesting of another set next
year. The winter wheat of next year
is already above the surface, and the
recent rains will give it a good start.
So far so good. Let us be hopeful.

SUCCESSOR TO DIREcTOIRE.
lew York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
CRITICISM and ridieule have killed the
clinging sheath Dress, said Mrs. Lena
Baldwin of Washington, who has Just re-
turned from Paris, and who is at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
However, its successor will prove one
of the novelties of the winter season,
and is bound to be popular. This robe
enroulee' is graceful and novel in cut,
and consists of two parts, similar in
size, Joined by biassed hem in the mid
de- both behind and in front, and which,
being cut in a single piece from top to
bottom, forms the eorsage and the skirt.
The material is amply gathered at the
shoulder and caught at the waist with a
fichu movement, draped in the style of a
sash in a series of folds.
1T is easily understood that the ma
terlal must be light and supple to permit
of the rolling and folding, and some
times it may be found requisite to sup
press a little amplitude at the waist line.
This is the gown which has supplemented
the Directoire in France, and which will
no doubt attain immediate popularity
here

No Corruption Fund

The democratic party is used to &C.
feat, and so long as victory was 10
perch once more upon the republican
standard, it is we'll that the result was
decisive. Defeat by a close shave is
always hard to bear, but when a party
encounters a landslide those who are
among the vanquished take the matter
philosophically and accept in good
humor the verdict of the people.
While the campaign just ended was
dull and colorless at the start, it be-
came spirited toward the close. But
no matter how much bitterness was
injected into the canvass, it was on
the whole a clean, dignifed campaign.
And, best of all, no republican slush
fund was in evidence. The American
people have been scandalized more
than once by the corrupt use of money
on the part of republican managers
In nearly every campaign since 1884
the republicans have raised millions
for the purpose IT buying votes, and
in 1896 Mr. Bryan was defeated by a
shameless use of republican money.
But conditions concurred this time 10
prevent any considerable attempt at
debauchery of the electorate
In the first place, the public con-
science had been quickened, and if re-
publican managers had resorted to the
old Doodle methods, such a general
protest would have been raised as
would have prevented the carrying
out of anything of the sort. And IN
the next place, the republicans would
have found it impossible to raise a
slush fund, tried they never so hard.
The people, irrespective of party, have
risen to a higher plane, let us hope,
in the view they take of civic ethics
What was winked at or condoned by
many partisans in years past will be
tolerated no longer. Something has
been gained in campaign management
therefore which will rebound to the
credit of the whole country.

Possible Vacancies In The Supreme Court

In the Broadway Magazine Eugene
P Lyle thus calls attention to the ven

these venerable gentlemen will be alive
on March 4, 1913? And of those still liv-
ing, how many will have resigned? There
are nine of these justices in a full bench
and five bare majority, can give judg-
ment.
One of the stock arguments of the
recent campaign was that four, if not
five, justices of this court will be ap-
pointed by the incoming President

This great court has nullified in its
long career fully 200 state statutes

WHY HE FAILED AS A LEADER.

From Success Magazine.
His mind was not trained to grasp
great subjects. to generallze. to make
combinations.
He was not self-reiant, did not depend
upon his own judgment; leaned upon
others, and was always seeking other
peoples opinion and advice.
He lacked courage. energy, boldness.
He was not resourceful or inventive
He could not multiply himself in others,
He did not carry the air of al con-
queror. He did not radiate the power
OF a leader.
There was no power back of his eyes
to make men obey him.
He could not handle men.
He antagonized people.
He did not believe in himself.
He tried to substitute gall for abil-
ity.
He did not know men,
He could not project himself into his
lieutenants; he wanted to do everything
himself.
He did not inspire confidence in others
because his faith in himself was not
strong enough.
He communicated his doubts and his
fears to others.
He could not cover up his weak points.
He did not know that to reveal his own
weakness was fatal to the confidence of
others.

particularly regrets that the control
of the House of Representatives by
the republicans postpones for two
years the promotion to the chairman
ship of the ways and means commit
tee of our own Oscar Underwood.
Serene Payne will retain the chairman
ship. and Joe Cannon will be elected
speaker of the Sixty-first Congress.
He may not carry his cigar at quite
the old angle. but the reactionary
forces behind the republican party will
see that he is electedsspeaker and that
revision proceeds on lines that are sat
isfactory to Dalzell and Aldrich.
The day of reckoning will come and
when it does Oscar Underwood will,
let us hope, be at hand to take hold
of the place that Serene Payne has
filled, but not adorned, many years.

"A LADYs LIMIT"

From the New York World.
Important contributions to sociological
data are made by the testimony of a local
divorce suit regarding the amount Of
champagne perfect lady may drink with
propriety, and by the statement of @
| Philadelphia physician concerning her
proper allowance of tobacco.
In the matter of wine a witness, ques-
toned as to the fair plaintiffs drinking
habits, said that she drank only as much
as lady should" and in answer to fur
ther questions defined "a lady limit as
a pint. The Philadelphia doctor, recon-
mending cigarettes as soothing to FEM
mime nerves, sets the limit of indulgence
at "five-minute smoke three times a
day
The fact that Mrs. W. E. Coreys seven
guests on hunting trip ate 70 pounds of
candy in two weeks establishes "a lady's
limit in the matter of sweets, though
matinee girls may question it. But candy
is aside from the main issue. A point
yet to be calculated is the '1adys limit,
of other beverages
AllSl particularly strenuous round on
the golf links may she take a second high
ball and still maintain the '1adylike and
decorous demeanor which characterizes
the divorce plaintiff after her pint OF
champagne? Are there conditions-say
those of an arduous afternoon of shopping
or of social dutes-whch makes a second
cocktail before dinner permissible and an
extra cigarette afterward? Some evidence
in point is furnished by the Hams COR
respondenee and court tertimony regard
ing the qualities of perfect ladyhood dis
played by an army officers wife, who is
, represented as sometimes exceeding the
minimum allowance and as smoking all
the time"
Only enough has been decided on the
question to whet curiosity and to make
timely an authoritative pronouncement
| by some of the sex qualified to speak.
Light is incidentally wanted on the uues-
ton of "a lady's limit" of affinities.

TAKING TUcKs IN THE STOMACH

Philadelphia Dispatch to New York Tri-
bune.
Taking tueks in the stomach is an OPP
GRAFTON that has of late relieved a
number of patients at the Gyneeean
hospital in this city and it is admitted
there that at least ten cases of disten-
sion of the stomach have been cured
thereby. The operations were performed
by DR.. Henry d. Beyea, chief surgeon
at the hospital.
1t is said that in a number of cases of
supposed appendicitis the real ailment
has been found to be that the stomach.
by oyereating, has been strained almost
to the bursting point and has been
somewhat displaced. This was cured
by "tucking' the stomach and shorten
ing the ligaments TO which the organ
is attached.

cRoss-EYED CAT TOO MUCH.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Deserted by her crew at the very mo-
ment of sailing from seattle for the
north, the fishing schooner Edrie still lies
at her mornings, and all because of a
cross-eyed black cat. Friday the crew
was making final arrangements to sail
when a yell resounded out of the hold.
A sailor burst through the hatch, scram-
bled over the side, and made off before
anyone could stop him. While the others
were gazing after his retreating form a
yowl came from the darkness below and
n black cat appeared upon the deck. One
look at the stub-taied, green-eyed feline
was enoughy, Every man of the crew
picked up his bundle and silently depart
ed. nor can the captain by any means
lure any of them back on board.

Jefferson's Population.

eWhile several counties in Alabama
are greater in square miles than JEFF
ferson, no county in the south ex-
cepting Orleans parish, has so large a
population, and not one is so rich in
natural resources said an old citizen.
Its population in 1900 was lao, 600
and its estimated population today is
about 100000. Now since it is known
that the county is not to be carved, we
can look forward with a feeling of
pride to the census of 1910 when the
population will be something like 300,-
o00-perhaps more.
There can be no question about the
oounty's rapid growth between now
and the time for taking the census.
This has been year of considerable
Industrial depression. Soon after the
panic many foreigners who were living
here returned to their native lands.
Within the past few weeks wagework
ers have been in steady demand here
aboutss and in 1909 the demand Will
exceed the supply. Special efforts will
have to be made TO bring workmen into
Jefferson connty-workmen by thous
ands. Prosperity in the past Will look
small compared with that which Bir-
iningham and the Birmingham district
will enjoy within the next two years.
All sober, industrious wage-earners OF
whatever nationality will be welcome.
THE men who organized the move
ment to defeat the new county amend
ment certainly deserve the thanks OF
this community. The plan to cut off d
large part of this county would have
been successful had it not been for Mr..
Ketting and a few other members of
