PooR MEN IN CONGRESS
Emphasizes Sacrifice Hsrainy sIen Make
 to Serve Their County.

@~---Ap--~e"~3ND MWKG
 to Serve Their County. Philadelphia Press.
 Senator Frank P. Flint of California has announced his purpose to retire from the United States Senate at the expiration of his present term in March. 1911. He gives as his reason the necessity of earning more money so his family may have a competency. He finds 1t impossible to attend to his duties as United States Senator and properly provide for his family at the same time.
 The Senator is pursuing an honor- able course. He would have little op- position for renomination by his party, and that would mean his reelection without much effort, but he cannot af- ford to neglect his practice of law for $7,500 year salary In the United States Senate. Ills decision empha- sizes the sacrifice a poor but bralAy man must make to serve his country in Congress. It also gives the lie to the many sensational tales that a poor man becomes rich if he stays in Con- gross long enough.
 There are public men of mediocrity and men who have no private business who manage to live and rear a family on the salary of Senator or Repre- sentative, but they are generally men of no weight Tn national affairs. Occa- sionally great statesman devotes all
 
 country and has no means of liveli- hood except his salary, but they are the exceptions. Men who go to Con gress for the purpose of gaining a livelihood seldom rise above the pay roll.
 A man of talents and abilities re- duired In a useful, effective member of Congress seldom has any trouble mak- ing many times the amount of the sal ary in business and in the leading pro- fessions. When one of these deVotes his energies to the service of his coun- try and neglects private affairs to do so, he is making a noble sacrifice Many such men are in the House and Senate, but none of them can be blam- ed If. like Senator Flint, he gives uI his public work. of however exalted character, to make money for his fam fly.
 The late Senator Hoar of Massa- chusetts, the late Senator Pratt of Con- necticut, Senator Cullom of Illinois and Senator Frye of Maine are some of the most notable instances of pool men devoting their lives to public af. fairs, although any one of them might have accumulated great ricnes in the practice of law or in other profes- sions. The late Speaker Reed left pub lie life to make money for his family and other statesmen have been com peIled to do the same.

sensational trsa satmsnt---admirabiy in view of writers who, knowinx iittls about either aeronautics or explosives, and caring less. revel in the horrors they Invent It 10 relief 10 hear from q specialist like Mr. Hudson Maxim. h q lecture delivered tn fhis city on wednesday he made short work of the havoc dreaming amatsurs. Going right to the point. Mr. Maxim said:
 We cannot make high explosive which shall be 50 powerful and ds- bombs as to fuiiil the expectAt tons and predictions of the cversaneuine aerial war prophets Flying machines will never be able to work wide de- struction by dropping explosives from the air. Even large quantitis of high explosives dropped from an aerial fleet upon battleships, coast fortifications, and in the streets of large. cities would not be widely destructive
 To any one with but superficial Knowledge of the effect of furious bombardments by fleets and armies In notable campaigns this assurance will not come as surprise. The damage done by shells loaded with nigh explo- sives has generally been 50 slight that 1t was an insignificant factor in de- termining the campaign. and 1t must be borne In mind that the assault has been delivered by an enemy tn fixed position, or by warships under slow headway when not anchored. MT. Max i'm was of the opinion that cities would have little to fear from explosives dropped by airships, and that war ves- sels that happened to be struck would seldom be sunk The casualties afioat and ashore would be inconsiderable. He secuted the idea. a favorite one with the sensatfonalists. that 1t would be possible for q German '.aerial navy" to destroy London. Said Mir. Maxim:
 Let us assume. for example, that the Germans should build . fleet of 100 aeroplanes, each capable of carrying one bomb containing 100 pounds o2 dy- namite and capable of maaing one trip day to London. dropping it's dya- mite and returning to Berlin for an- other load: and let us assume that each of those bombs should be capable of destroying. on the average, one build ing, which Is very much more than 1t could possibly do. Thus this fleet would dsstroy 100 houses day, 5000 a month. 36,000 e year. Now as there have been about 600.000 houses built in London during the last ten years. or about e0.0o0 a year. the German. aerial dy- namite fleet would succeed in destroy ing a little more than half the houses annually built in London
 It should be understood that Mir. Hudson Maxim Is a believer in the air ship as an adjunct and auxiliary of armies and navies: in fact. he sees brilliant future for airships. provided that inventors overcome their tender ness'' in wind and rain and contrive some means of controlling their flight autou1aticailv We fancy that he is more sanguine about she development of the airship than are some of the capable aeronauts themselves. At any rate, he can be accepted as an author ity upon the airship as death-dea1- ing, ruin making engine of war. and the visionaries will have to reckon with his sober judgment in future.

A Rit of slans History.

ATnY ana NAVY JOdtHdi
 Capt. Henry G. Lyon, Q. s. A. was the innocent cause of the now popu- lar expression about making noise like" this or that. At Peekskill, Tn l 9o6. he gave instruction to officers or the New York National Guard doing duty in that tour of camp. The first day he formed the officers into class in the big mess hall, which was open at the sides, so that all that went on inside was seen and heard by the en- listed men passing back and forth. In teaching the officers how to give the commands, Capt. Lyon impressed upon the class the necessity of clear enun- cia tion and of making commands like an officer. saying Arms" not jumps" etc. The privates capacity for turn ing things to their own amusement was shown a few minutes after that first class was dismissed. for officers
 going through their company streets
 heard privates in front of group Of men shouting out: Make a noise like an officer" whereupon the entire
 "cIass" would roar "umps," report
 CT sent an account to New York pa-
 ner. and from this grew expressions
 such as Make noise like hoop and roll away" etc However. 1t is seldom one hears the word "arms" oI
 ''march," the voice finding 1t muef easier to slur the word till 1t may mean anything. and as the prepara' tory command indicates what IS to b' done, the command following Is mere 1 ly a signal for the execution of wha has already been specified.

Passing of the Trapper.

Kennebec Journal. .,,,.u.t.~ ha. reached the wiids of the Canadian north and trappers report that their business it rapidly becoming unprofitable on account of the frequency of the settlements. That state of affairs Is to be expected and the wonder is that the situation has not become more acute long ago. It is remarkable that the business has continued profitable.
 History has repeated itself m this as ln all other things. The advance guard ot civilization was years behind class of hal dy trappers who earned their livelihood in tine solitude of the forests by taking animals for their Iurs. AS civilization ad- yanced the number of trappers beeanie larg- CT and the amount of game diminished un- til there was no longer profit to be had from the business.
 ii began with Maine and Massachusetts and continued to the westward until the limited States was no longer tenable for tha trapper The Hudson Bay Company pre- served the frozen north Of Canada Tor hait a century after the United States had ceased to be a profitable hunting ground, but the onward march of the railroads and the ever restless wave of home-seekers has at last advanced to the very outposts Of the Hudson Bay territory. Gold and wheat have been the lodes,ones, and the trapping business suffers We will raise them. Fox farming skunk farming, cat farming and the nun4fg4 and one other kinds of animal raising will take the place of the trapper and his gun. other furbearing animals will soon be taught to eat out of the hand of man, just as the ac,- for centuries. Man will simply enlarge his control or the lower animals, enlarge his control over the fur-bearing as well as the food-pearing anima,s

AIABAmrAss. YOUNG AND OLD.

Any cause in Alabama is indeed in .. desperate state, when it's champions attempt to arraign the young. men against the old men. Facing defeat 1t Is apparent that the political leaders whose future is wrapped up in the welfare Of the amendment, are will ing to so to that extreme. They know that the older and the more ex- perienced men of Alabama regard the amendment as dangerous measure and and that their influence is thrown against 1t. An appeal to the ambition Of the younger men and an appeal to the more easily aroused emotions of the younger man. to offset the heavy influence of the older men is now the characteristic of this campaign.
 The chief champion of the amend ment candidate for Govepnors in his Montgomery speech said what he had said elsewhere. that the older men had come down from another and a different generation into a time. the moral and religious principles of which they did not appreciate. This line of talk has been a favorite argu- nent of other speakers. too. in their endeavor to find something which would serve as reason for the adop- ton of the amendment.
 Announcement is now made that young mems clubs are to be formed all over Alabama. Birmingham and Jasper and other places already have such clubs. One is to be organized for Montgomery. That such political organizations will have. and 1t Is pos- sibly the purpose of their organization 10 have. the effect of arraying old men and young men against each other in this campaign.
 This would be unfortunate, but it cause that fathered such a movement. The friends of any cause in Alabama that antagonize the older men of the State had as well buy crape for their proposition and arrange a place for its. burial. The older men would will ingly give the younger men a chance, but they are not ready to step entire iy out of political. business and material affairs. And they are not going to be pushed out either.
 The desperate followers of lost cause are adopting desperate means.

 The Progressive Farmer.
 Did you ever think. Mir. Farmer. that all your planning and working and making and saving--your efforts to raise larger crops and acquire more money--have for their one great aim the making of a better, a more at- tractive. a cheerfulier. happier home For this. after all. you blow and SOW and reap--that you and your wife and your children may have \ better place in which to live and nsay find in 1t more of beauty and brightness and comfort.
 There may be some folks who. wish to acquire property for the mere sake of possession--simply to have and to hold andsifeel that 1t Is theirs: but we do not believe that many of our read CTS belong to this class. We think. instead. that most of You who read this, while you fully appreciate our ef- forts to help you make more money. realize that if the money thus made does not contribute to the comfort and well being of those you love. 1t Is. af- ter all. worth very little to you
 The home Is the great thing. and a poor home and a good farmer do not go together. This is why we urge each and every one of you to add to his home just as much Vf beauty and convenience as Is possible. It Is only Justice to your wife that she have just as many helps toward making her work indoors easy and pleasant as you have In doing your work on the farm. It is no more than the absolute right of your children to grow up un- der the most favorable conditions and among the most fiealthfui and inspir- ing surroundings which you are able to proyide for them. And 1t is no more than you owe yourself that you make your home @ place to which you are always glad to go-one attractive to the eye. restful to the body, inspiring to the mind, and comforting to the heart.
 This Is the sort of home which we believe every one of our readers Is en- titled to, and which all might have. or course. none of you can have things just as he would; but we believe you will find 1t a money making proposi- lion as well as a source or the deepest and truest satisfaction to have your house painted: to make the grounds about 1t just as attractive as your means and time will allow: to see that the surroundings are healtnful: to pro- vide your wife the iabor-saving equin- ment she needs and save her just as much work as possible: to put in aF soon as you can a water supply and a bath room: to spend a little for books and pictures and music and handsome serviceable furniture. We believe, lei us repeat. that 1t will pay you. merely as A financial proposition, to do these things; but even if 1t does not you should do them just the same. for IS not this. after all. what you are tryins to make money for3

Robert H. Pearson.

1ASuBCfs
 A pioneer citizen of Birmingham Is dead. Robert H. Pearson came to Birmingham in 1873 ,as sovn as he had prepared himself to practice law. He was among the first lawyers to come and his person and manner were att tractive and he succeeded. He married here and made his fortune here. lived his life here and was happy in his late middle life with his children and grand children about him when death came.
 Colonel Pearson could have gone into public life at almost any period of his career. but would not. He was popu-. lar and had interests in the city and in the county that would nave assured him seat in the Legislature at any election during the thirty years just passed, but always declined when friends suggested 1t. He could have had a place on the bench of the county if he had sought it. but he would not seek office.
 Colonel Pearson was a man of strong mind and was an influence In his church and in his professfon. and was at all times a strong and prominent figure in Birmingham's affairs. His death came as shock to hundreds of his friends because he had not begun to grow old. He was never thought of as any other than strong man. He was a type of Birmingham men.
