 s.In order to understand how this mat ter came to be mentioned, it is necessary to make a brief explanation. When I &C., cented the appointment of minister to China at the request of the President, and afterward he expressed the earnest wish that the people of this country should be reused to keen interest in the Pacific situation, both commercially and politically, he felt that our greatest prob lem lay there and that our people were not fully awake to it's importance. As stated in a public address in Chicago on September 14 the President advised ne to accept all available invitations to pub- lie meetings and dinners and said: Do not miss any of them and when you go to one insist on speaking and let them have it red hot

Eves m Alabama,

"The eyes of the country are turned to Alabama on account of the constitu- tional prohibition campaign now in progress" said Walter H. Forman of Cleveland. "I was in New York 10 days ago and there I heard Alabama frequently discussed. Three or four weeks ago I was in Colorado and h card this state discussed by people from various parts of the west. The up- shot of the talk was that the ratifica- tion of the amendment to the constitu- tion would show a tendency on the part of Alabama that would be de- cidedly hurtful from an investment and . an immigration point of view
 ."I have been In this state since last Saturday and from what I can learn l think 1t a safe bet that the amend ment will be defeated; but in one of the northern counties I came across several men who said they would vote for the amendment. Of four men who talked in favor of 1t threAtol me that they did not like the wording of the section section but that they were Conner men and would vote for the amendment becadse by so doing they would promote his political fortunes.

It did not take me long, however, to find out that this constitutional prohibition project Is politics pure and simple If the amend ment Is ratified the governor and Dr. Brooks Lawrence of my state will cer- tainly be all powerful and 1t is their purpose I understand to make Judge Weakley governor"

Fair, Fair Visitors.

Tt must be very gratifying to the mer- chants of Birmingham to see the throngs of out-of-town shoppers that are in the city" said an obseryant citizen.
 q have noticed all day going and com ing on the streets, crossing from one store to another, numbers of shoppers who are not of the regular throngs that pass along the streets of the city. My business carried me into several of the larger stores during the full tide of the afternoon business, and was particularly struck with the eager buyers, especially among the younger women.

TO YOUTH. lAnalto,. Ca

 Where art thou gone? light-ankled youth With wing at either shoulder, And smile that never left thy mouth Until the hours grew colder Then somewhat seemed to whisper near That thou and l must part; 1 doubted it--I felt no fear, No weight upon my heart. If aught befell 1t, love was by And rolled 1t off again; So if there ever was a sigh, Twas not a sigh of pain. I may not call thee back; but thou Returnest when the hand Of gentle sleep waves OCT my brow '' His poppy-crested wand. Then smiling eyes bend over mine; Then lips, once pressed, Invite, But sleep hath given silent sign. And both. alasi take flight. e-

A TROUBLED BROTHER.

Who walks the way to shadowland,
 With trouble in his heart, And moans he cannot understand
 Of life the better part; Who carries gloom where'er he goes
 TO those who might be glad, But swells the stock of earthly woes And makes the morning sad. NOT plrd, nor bloom, nor golden sun, NOT any song that's sung Gan waSen thoughts of gratitude,
 Or teach his stubborn tongue To speak word of hope and cheer Life's shadows follow fast, And Tess he mends his ways. I fear
 They'll swallow him at 1asti

asked me about the China-Japan agree ment and said that the matter was un- der consideration, as was well known but that no decision had been reached, and I may have said, although I do not recall it, that obviously no statement would be prepared in the absence of Mir. Hoyt.
 'I advised him to get thoroughly in-s formed upon the whole subject as H would be of the greatest importance that it be handled intelligently by the Amer ican press if official action was taken.
 This is the sum of my offending. On mature consideration, 1t is my judgment that my action was in accordance with the spirit at least of the Presidents wishes expressed by him to me, and that 1t furnished no sufficient excuse for the sensational and inconsiderate action of the Secretary of State.
 However, I did not seek this post, and am absolutely unwilling to remain in it without the entire confidence of the Pres- ident and the cordial support of the gov ernment"

THE CURTAIN SPEECH

David Warfield declined to spoil the H. fusion of his inimitable performance in
 The Music Master by making a cur tain talk. Even at best, the practice of making curtain speeches is rather silly and they always seem out of place, but when an actor has carefully wrought an illusion on the stage which depends for it's success on countless details of make up, manner and a quaint dialect-when he has made a vivid and realistic embodi- ment of a person the playwright had in mind, for him to drop everything and step forth with a snug expression of counten- ance and reply to the plaudits of the mul
