! And now to the future
Let us carefully review our work in the
campaign. Let us plan to correct any errors
which we made. Let us reorganize wherever
organization is needed Let us lay our plans
broadly and carefully. Let us redouble our
generosity. Let us furnish every committee
with all needed means, giving like patriots
for the salvation of the land that we love-
Let us keep our speakers before the people,
Let us organize clubs and alliances for con-
tinuous work. Taking notice Of the fact that
the best work Of the campaign was done
where our papers were most widely circulated
and most completely covered the field let us
push subscription-getting as never before
Our cause is right. Our course is ordained
OF God Soon or late, far or near, by few or
by many, right must and will prevail But
our victory is nearer, perhaps, than even the
most sanguine of us dream. The enemy
realizes that the momentary check Of this
election is hardly a breathing spell" in their
retreat. The war is going Onto finish
A Prohibition President in the White House
and Prohibition Congress in the Capitol
these are things Of the near future
And 1912 spells VICTORY today, just as
certainly as we thought it did amid the en-
thusiasm of the campaign.

NEWSPAPER HYDRoPHoHIA.

From the New York Medical Journal
 Philadelphia newspapers recently treat ed their readers to narrowing narrative concerning a boy who was supposed to have been bitten by dog, and in the in- tervals of convulsions was "snapping at his attendants and barking like a dog" in the throes of hydrophobia A number of years ago a young woman in Camden was said to be suffering from this dread ed disease, and Prof. Joseph Pancoast was requested to see her. When he was told that she was "snapping and barking like a dog" he immediately replied "Then she has not hydrophooia and this negative diagnosis turned out to be true. and she was only suffering with fear and hysteria. The fact that no one ever saw a hydrophobia patient "snapping and barking does not deter the average newspaper reporter from indulging him. self with this little flight of imagination, in order to make the account more graph ic In the case of the boy Dr. Wads- worth, the coroner's physician, found no evidence of rabies, but discovered that death had in reality been caused by ty- phoid fever. The typhoid delrium had been mistaken for rabies.

Southern Colleges

Within the past five years the col leges of Alabama, and of the south in general, have made marked advances in their facilities and in their peda- gogy. New college buildings have been reared and old buildings have been i'm proved and enlarged. In the matter of dormitories the southern colleges are showing wonderful progress; and some of the old institutions have added dor mitories this year that will compare favorably with those found at the richer colleges in the north.
 The last college year was exceeding ly prosperous in Alabama, and the out look for the approaching year is bright CT than ever. All our institutions of higher education are officered by excel lent men-educators of fine equipment and strong character. The import ance of selecting for college presidents men of administrative ability, enthusi- asm and experience is thoroughly ap- preciated now, and when such execu- tives are supported by faculties made up of men combining sound scholar ship and modern teaching methods, success is sure to follow.
 Scores of model college presidents are found in the south, and in this re- spect Alabama is unsurpassed. Never in the history of this country was college education within such easy reach of the boy of limited means as it is now, and never was the demand for college-bred men so great as now. The fact is, the time is fast coming when every college in the south will be filled to it's capacity.

A FOOL HUSBAND.

From the Washington Herald.
 St. Louis man, enraged recently be- cause he came home and found that din- ner would be about l5 minutes late, rushed into his wife's dressing room, threw all of her toilet articles-powder box, puff. eau de cologne. rouge and whatnot-out of the window into the street below. and then informed her that he guessed 1t would be a good long time before she would again let her "primp- ing interfere with the prompt prepara- tion of his meals.
 The woman made complaint in court against this cruel treatment. asked for a legal separation from the brute, and was awarded decree carrying with 1t s2o per week alimony. The man cannot take unto himself another wife, because no ab- solute divorce has been granted; hence no other unsuspecting female may be led legally to put her faith and trust in his pre-nuptial promises or sentimental soft sayings.
 What a fool husband that man was, ohJAOWf <AnJ 4oiOl lndt VIII Q with his wife's efforts to make herself beautiful in his sight is not entitled to a wife under any circumstances. The mere fact that she seeks to adorn his household. especially when he Is to be at home, and for his evident benefit, should make any meal taste better, and should reconcile him to any delay not utterly unreasonable. The woman who wants to appear to advantage before her hus- band Is one possessed of a splendid spirit, one worthy of emulation and imitation. She is apt to be all else that she should be.
 Woman has a right we believe, to want to be pretty-to appear attractive to the eye upon all occasions. Only man devoid of all soul would care to deny it to her. She was put here to charm, and she exalts herself when she undertakes to carry out every phase of her mission here below. It was owen Meredith who rejoiced that woman was
 Permitted to bruise
 The head of the serpent, and sweetly in-
 fuse
 Through the sorrow and sin of earth's
 registered curse
 The blessings which mitigate all. Born
 to nurse
 And to soothe and to solace, to help and
 to heal.
 The sick world that leans on her"
 And she was born for more than that! She was born to be as beautiful as she knows how; to delight the eye on every possible occasion; to please every sense, insofar as she may. The man who fails to understand that falls far short of a correct appreciation of the scheme of things on this earth, and can hardly be expected to conceive better or bright CT world to come.

EASY BOSS, IN LITERATURE.

From the New York World.
 A pleasing picture of contented and am- table old age is that drawn by Tribune interviewer of Senator Platt, who at 5 is leading the simple life at a friend g cottage on Long Island.
 The physical condition of the Easy Boss leaves something to be desired But his color Is fresh, his appetite good and his mind at peace. His pursuits, as becomes s one who has passed from the heat and burden of the day, are philosophy and literature, and it Is the revelation of the former director of the amen corner in the role of a literary critic which is most interesting.
 The Easy Boss has enjoyed ''The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne," but he took par ticular delight in Three Weeks" which he pronounces "a clever book" True he was "a little shocked by the story, but the discovery that the author is married and has family and the further fact that Senator Depew has entertained her treasured him.
 This example of tolerance and leniency in critics is commended to the Catos and Comstocks who censure without regard to extenuating circumstances. Platt at least would not call patrol wagon for the wearer of a sheath gown or condemn a Salome dancer unseen

POLITICAL SOFT SOAP.

From the New York Post.
 The obscure personality of MT. Kern came a little into the light yesterday in the course of his triumphal progress from Indianapolis to Chicago. He is clearly enough of a politician to appreciate the necessity of domestic and municipal vir- tues When Vice President Fairbanks extended to him the right hand of fel- lowship in innocuous desuetude, and as- sured him of the love and respect of his fellow-citizens, Mir Kern replied that he was more grateful to God for his friends in Indianapolis than for his nomi- nation at Denver That doesn't sound like the speech of a good fighter; but there is method in Mir Kern's madness. When he reached Lafayette he assured the crowds from the end of the car that he should hold no grudge against any one who voted for the other man. At Chicago he continued sowing the seeds of brother ly love by speech in which he informed the good" corporations that they have nothing to fear from the democratic party. The hero of two defeats for the governorship may be honey-mouthed, but he knows what he is about. MT. Bryan has ordered his musicians to apply the soft soap to radicalism; and to let their fingers wander as they list over the dull cet notes Of confidence, harmony and uni- versal friendliness.
