ASKED TO VOTE ON
 MEETING OF CHIEFS

Within the course of a week or 10 days the place of assembly of the next annual convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada will very probably have been decided upon.
 . As has been previously stated, Blrming- ham, Atlanta and Buffalo are fighting for the honor Inasmuch as the convention was held in the north last year it is not thought probable that the meeting will be held in Buffalo because it has been the custom of the chiefs to meet in a diff ferent part of the country every year. Therefore, 1t is believed that the real fight is between Birmingham and Atlanta, and Chief Bodeker believes Birmingham's chances are bright.
 Yesterday Chief Bodeker received a gem eral notice from President Sylvester of Washington, D. C., which calls for a de- cislon of the chiefs over the country. The notice sets forth the fact that Chief Michael Began of Buffalo, Chief Henry Jennings of Atlanta and Chief Bodel1er of Birmingham are fighting for the con- vention, and President Sylvester asks that the chiefs express their choice immediate ly, hence it is believed that the matter will have been settled within 10 days.
 President Sylvester suggests that the convention be held during the week be- ginning June 1, 1909.

Mistakes In Canal Estimates

Senator Kittredge insists that the lock canal as at present planned will cost s425, 100000 instead of s199000,- GOO. which was the sum the early esti- mates called for. And this raises anew the question whether a lock canal is not to be more expensive after all than a sea-level canal would have been.
 President Roosevelt forced the adop- ton of the lock plan. He could have turned the scale, and he did, and it IS now claimed that he made a serious mistake. Senators Kittredge, Foraker and Teller do not hesitate to say he did.
 The expenditures on the canal to this time aggregate S177,964, 46S, and the engineers now admit that it's total cost will be s4OO, ,0OO, ,OOO. It is not easy to say what a sea-level canal could have been built for, but the early esti- mates for a sea-level canal were $247,- GO0,OOO.
 It is not too late to change, and the chief issue of the next Congress will probably relate to the plan of the canal The lock plan is confessedly unsafe, and if it be proven that a sea level plan would be no more expensive a demand will arise for a canal which would be confessedly safe and satis- factory. The Roosevelt canal record is not vindicated as estimates and plans stand at present.

Yesterdays Presidential Election

Vice President Fairbanks yesterday in.the presence of the House and Sen- ate counted MT. Taft into the presi- dency. Yesterday morning he was a private citizen today he is President elect. The real voting according to a repudiated section of the federal con- stitution took place when the electors met and voted in each state, and tt was their votes which were counted and consolidated at Washington yes terday.
 The vice president found that Will liam H. Taft had received S21 votes and William J. Bryan 162, and he sol emnly declared that the former stood elected President. He did this, al though the people had really elected him on November and on November I they knew the result.
 The whole scheme of electing Pres ident needs revision. It has come down to us in it's present form from stage-coach and pre-telegraph days. It is wholly out of date and out, of fit ness. It is without rhyme or reason. The popular and electoral votes rarely agree, whereas the former should be controlling. The inauguration comes as rule in stormy weather, and there is too long a gap between the election and the inauguration, anyway. Con- gross should meet directly after the inauguration of new President. The fallacy of an electoral vote should be done away with The entire scheme needs reconstruction. The country has outgrown it, and the practical repudia- tion of the electoral college should be put into black and white in the consti- tuition.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
srandon Not In Race.

E. w. Hausman, a popular clerk in the office of Gen. W. ". Brandon, state audi tor, makes the following statement:
 Tt may positively be stated that Gen. eral Brandon will not be a candidate for governor This Is true. in spite of the fact that he has received and is still receiving letters urging him to run. He will, how ever be a candidate for the office of probate judge of Tuscaloosa county and his announcement may be expected in the near future.
 General Brandon is not unmindful of the compliment that the people have paid him in requesting that he be a candidate. but will not accede to their requests It has long been a mooted question among the friends of the auditor as to whether he would run for governor or probate judge of Tuscaloosa county. It is now certain that he will not run for governor. and it is certain that he will ask for the office of probate judge. It is expected that he will win, too. for as everyone knows. General Brandon has innumerable friends in his home county, as well as all over the state"

RIrmlnaham,s cIean Streets.

People of Birmingham do not really appreciate the cleanliness of their strets, ' said a member of the police department yesterday, but they need only to go to other cities of equal size and see condi- tions elsewhere to be convinced that our town is well kept.
 T have just come back from Tennessee and during my visit in that state l stopped in several cities. In neither of the two larger cities which 1 visited, both of which are as large or larger than Birmingham did I find that the streets are as well kept as they are in Birmingham. In fact the filth in the streets of one Tennessee city was about the first thing that im- pressed me.
 There has been whole lot of criticism caused from the fact that our city pris- oners arg compelled to work on the streets, and it is for this reason that 1 say the people of Birmingham do not really appreciate the cleanliness of the streets. A comparison of our streets with the streets of other large cities is con- vincing that the matter of working the prisoners on the streets is not so bad after all

INTO TELEPHONE
 POLE WENT AUTO

A large touring car belonging to Bert Brown cut a corner bit too sharp on Highland avenue late last night and smashed into a telephone pole, and while the occupants were shaken up consider ably luckily no one was hurt beyond the receiving of few very slight bruises.
 In the car at the time were MT. and Mrs. Bert Brown Mir. and Mrs. Hubert Drennen, Porter Walker and Mrs. J. c. Howard of Wynesville. S. C., who is the guest Of Mrs. Drennen. The party was returning from the Country club and the car was following in a string of auto- mobiles, the cars of Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray and Bradley J. Saunders passing around the corner immediately in front of Mr. Browns.
 As the car struck the post the occupants were thrown about promiscuously and it was thought at first that they were badly injured. MT. Saunders picked them up in his machine and carried them to his res- idence where Dr. Jordan was summoned, but there was little need for his services, and after short stay at Mir Saunders residence they went to their homes
 The car was a large Packard and was badly injured in the collision The damage is not believed to be beyond repair how ever.

GIVES BANKRUPT
 FIRM A HEARIRG

Considerable interest was aroused in the federal building yesterday by the news paper report of the decision by the United States court of appeals in an Alabama case which was appealed from the decis- ion of Judge Jones while sitting in Mont gomery.
 It settles a fine point which has been argued here for long time and sets a precedent for the investigation of a so- called bankrupt before the appointment of a receiver. Heretofore 1t has been the habit to appoint a receiver immediately upon an involuntary application, but T. S.. Faulk merchant of Andalusia, thought differently and appealed his case.
 Hereafter a merchant has a fair chance to show that he is solvent before being closed up. This has been the subject of complaint for a long time.
 While most of the bankrupt cases filed in the local office are on the written consent of the parties in bankruptcy, yet it is pointed out cases of this kind will be coming up occasionally and the referees will not have power to appoint until the defendant is given a hearing.

Alabama'S Legislative Muddle

The muddled condition of the bills passed by the present legislature seems to rest upon the officers of the senate, for none of the trouble has been brought home to the officers of the house. The state is in a sad condition on account of sloyenly work on the senate journals. Any man is now free to transform himself into walking arsenal, and no one knows that any bill passed by the present legislature is a valid law
 If this condition does not call for an extra session then nothing would. If the notification of bills by the whole sale by the journal clerks of the sen ate is not good cause for a reassem- bling of the legislature then there will never be good grounds for an extra session in this state.

Problems of Farm Life

The President transmits to Congress the report of the Country Life commits sion, and he utilizes the opportunity in a discussion of the problems involved. The two papers taken together show that there Is a lack of knowledge on the part of farmers of the exact agri- cultural conditions and possibilities of their regions; lack of good training for country life in the schools; lack of co. operation against business systems and interests, thus depriving the farmer of adequate returns for his products. lack of good roads; lack of leadership; lack of agricultural credit and of in centives to keep men on the farms.
 What we need are soil surveys. ex- tension work through state colleges. restriction of the middleman system of handling farm products, control of the water powers, better roads, parcels post and postal savings banks and de- velopment of rural society.
 High ideals says the President, "cannot be realized without sufficient income to provide adequate founda- ton; and when the community at large Is not financially prosperous it is inn possible to develop high average per- sonal and community ideal. In short.

Example of Co.Operation.

"One thing I admire especially about lumbermen," said public spirited citi- zen, Ifs the way they stand together and work togeth CT for the things that are for the best interest of the industry which they repdesent. Take the tariff matter as an example. Every lumber man realizes that the proposed reduc- ton of the tariff on lumber will be blow to tn e lumber trade generally and they are working together like beavers to bring about the retention of the ex- isting duties Every man is willing to do his part.
 '.The Alabama and West Florida Manufacturers association had it's monthly meeting here this week and was that organiza tion satisfied with the mere adoption of stereotyped resolu- tions?I should say not. They named a committee ofstheir leading members, and this committee pledged to do all in it's power to bring about the wishes Sf the organization. They pledged tn emselves to go to Washington if nec- essapy and to spend their time and money for the benefit of the industry which they represent.
 s'It is just this spirit of cooperation among the representatives of any i'm dustry that will bring about results. Ordinarily there is so much jealousy and petty feeling against competitors in a given line of business that the rep resentatives of that business cannot get together on anything-not even on questions which vitally affect their well fare.
 "The lumbermen, if you will watch tn em will set you an example of indus trial harmony and patriotic co-opera ton for tn protection of their industry that you will do well to follow, no mat ter what line of business you may be engaged in. They work together and as a result they get the things they go after. I would like to see more of their kind in Birmingham"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-11

the fundamental facts of human nature apply to men and women who live in the country just as they apply to men and women who live in the towns"
 This is basic truth. More prosperity is needed on the farms, especially in Che south, and the demonstration farms that the department of agriculture is establishing are more useful than all the recommendations of the Presi- dents commission. What the south needs is more cotton and more corn to the acre. and farm life in the south cannot be upifted until it gets just that. Deep blowing and more intelli- gent cultivation are needed here, and the department of agriculture should be asked to increase the number of it's demonstration farms The President is right when he says that higher earn ings are needed first of all on the farms, and when these are secured high ideals should be encouraged. The truth is, the chief change needed in the south is blowing 12 inches deep instead of from two to four inches. This of itself will render the southern farmer more prosperous and high ideals will naturally follow.
