It's a fine habit.

One step won't take you very far,
You've got to keep on walking.
One word wont tell folks all you are
You've got to- keep on talking;
One inch won't make you very tall
You've got to keep on growing;
One little ad won't do it all,
You've got to keep 'em going.

unfortunate references. In fact it was what he said on that tour that paved the way for his impeachment; and during the famous trial his speeches were introduced in evidence against him.
 President Taft is exceptionally pop ular personally and there is no dan ger, therefore, of his being jeered as poor Andrew Johnson was in Chi eago. But il would have been better for him if he had observed the estab- lished usage of our great presidents and confined his public utterances to non-partisan topics. If he continues to discuss the tariff in the west he will find himself more and more embar- rassed. By the time he reaches the south he will have dropped the tariff, no doubt and it is safe to say that in Birmingham the people will hear him at his best.

Based on Politics
nlOurners

If the amendment proposition to write prohibition in the constitution of Alabama wins at the polls in Mo- yember small minority can keep 1t there. This has been pointed out from time to time, but it cannot be too often emphasized. It would be possible for a few prohibition sena- tors to defeat the will of a strong ma jority that might be in favor of re- submission. As it requires a three fifths vote in each house to submit a constitutional proposition 21 votes would be needed in the senate. If all the senators were present 15 oppon- ents of a resubmission bill would de- feat it. But it could hardly be expect ed that 35 senators-the total num- Der provided for-would answer the roll call. One, two, three, four or five senators might be unavoidably absent. Death or other causes would be al- most sure to make vacant seats. In case of five absentees then as few as 10 senators could defeat any amend ment bill.
 Thus it is seen that every absentee would count against the measure. This provision, making constitutional changes extremely difficult, was re- garded as wise and absolutely con- sistent with the principles of consti- tuition building, for nothing is sup posed to be written in the organic law of the state which has not back of 1t overwhelming public sentiment.
 The state of Maine has been strug- gling under constitutional prohibition for nearly 50 years and 1t will prob- ably be 50 years more before that pro- vision is annuled Maine is back ward state. It's population has in- creased only about 250 ,000 in 50 years, and it's population today is only about a third that of Alabamas. Maine makes a poor showing in the table of literacy. notwithstanding the fact that it's population is all white.
 Constitutional prohibition does not prohibit in Maine or anywhere else 1t has been tried for a considerable period. Maine has no large cities, Portland of between 50,000 and 55,000 population being the largest. It is a notorious fact that habitual drunk enness is more common in Portland than in the average American city of similar size where saloons are licensed

Looking Two Years Ahead

The Kansas City Times, republi can paper, does not hesitate to say that the new Congress to be elected in November of next year will be con trolled by the insurgents, otherwise called progressive republicans, or by the democrats. The Aldrich-Cannon combine becomes more unpopular as time runs on. and it bids fair to be utterly repudiated.
 The new tariff has no friends except among it's benefciaries. and there are precious few of them in the middle or far west. Beyond all reasonable doubt the tariff is to become the leading is sue in the congressional elections of next year, many of which are begin ming to take form and shape. The Aldrich-Cannon combination seems doomed to be defeated.
 Whether the democrats or the in- surgents control the next Congress, it is certain the standpatters, will not. and Joseph G. Cannon's career in the speakers chair is drawing to a close.
 Leader Clark says that if the next Congress is not committed to real downward revision the next presi- dential election will be fought out on that issue. The eleventh-hour de- mands of MT. Taft will cut no figure in the popular mind. Real revision will be demanded. and the election of 1912 bids fair to be fought out on that issue, and so will the next Congress.
 The Aldrich-Cannon tariff gains no friends, and another revision is pretty surely coming It cannot be postponed beyond the Sixty-third Congress. In the Sixty-second Congress Cannon will be succeeded by either an insurgent or democrat, and the tendency of the next two years will be to bring the in- surgents and the democrats together. The standpatters are to be steady losers hereafter, and it is a close race between the progressives and the dem- ocrats for control. And the chances are that the insurgents will soon gain control of the republican party. In any event the standpat crowd, headed by Aldrich and Cannon, has no future, and Uncle Joe will soon disappear from public life, and there will be few mourners.

prohibition might think about consti- tutional prohibition as an ultimate measure, they cannot defend it with sound reason or with any sense of right or justice while statutory pro- hibition is yet in an experimental stage.
 The amendment should be defeated by sweeping majority. The propo- sition grows out of the political greed of certain individuals. Not single argument from statesman's point of view can be presented and not a single good reason from any point of view can be advanced. It is the scheme not only of politicians but of prohi- bition politicians whose following is made up chiefly of fanatics and small minded men who are easily caught by the talk of paid agitators.
 As a result of drastic legislation Alabama is today in an unhappy con- dition. But this state of-affairs will not continue if liberty lovers will only arise in their might and work until intolerance is overthrown. The AgeHerald has abiding faith in the patriotic people of this state.

IN HOIEL LOBBlES
Good Roads Work.

Huntsville, member of the House of Rep resentative from the Eighth district, was in Birmingham yesterday on his way to Montgomery He said he hoped to be able to attend the good roads con- vention in this city on October IA and 10. Few congressional districts in the south have such excellent roads as Judge Richardson's and it may be questioned whether any district surpasses it. Judge Richardson is a pioneer in the good roads movement
 T started the good roads agitation in Madison county in 1885 while I was pro- bate judge" said the congressman. "T succeeded in getting an appropriation of S2OO.ooo for the county for road building and with that money as fine a system of turnpikes as any in the south has been perfected.
 The next county in my district to become interested in the good roads movement was Colbert It appropriated something like $2O0, GOO for the new road work. Jackson came next and today that county is not surpa ssed by a single coun- ty in the United States in the matter of turnpikes. Jackson's bikes are really magnificent The other counties in my distrfct-Lauderdale. Lawrence, Lime stone and Morgan-are all taking a lively interest in good roads and either have hrst-class roads and bikes or will have very shortly. The economic value of good roads is simply incalcuable."
 Judge Richardson says he expects to get an appropriation from the present Congress with which to begin work on Muscle Shoals for utilizing the water power for manufacturing purposes and especially for generating electricity Uni ted States army engineers have estimated the waterpower at Muscle Shoals as equal almost to that of Niagara Falls
 The Huntsville congressman said the amendment campaign would be about the most bitter ever known, but he declined to say how he stood on the issue

BRISTOL CASE IS
 DECIDED FOR VETS

Bristol, Va, September 20.-Judge Kelly this morning decided that the re- cent local option election was valid and that the town is wet Preparations for opening several saloons are now under way
 Judge Kelly announced that he would hear applications for licenses and grant them to all who may be en- titled on Wednesday. He denied a mo- tion by council for the "drys'' to sus- pend the order sustaining the election pending their appeal to the supreme court
 The contest case grew out of the local option election of July 8, which resulted in a victory for the "wets" on the face of the returns by a ma jority of 32. The "drys" forthwith filed a protest, claiming ITO votes were cast by alleged non-residents.
 In a ruling the court held that though the voters were not bodily present, a residence once acquired in Virginia could be retained so long as it was the intention of the voter, re- gardless of where he went or how long he stayed. He held a majority of the legal votes were cast for license.

Should Court South America.

"A friend recently made a strong im- pression on me by saying that we did not exert ourselves properly in order to get the good will of the Central and South American countries,' said a manufac- turer
 we are inclined to say all sorts of unkind things about them much as cer- tain sections of the north speak of us, only as residents of a section where lynchings are everyday occurrences. Many of the South American countries contain as high types of civilization and industry as are to be found anywhere in the world Leaders of thought and &C., ton down there are men that would take high rank anywhere. Instead of con- stantly making slurring remarks about the petty revolutions and other weak nesses of certain sections, we should be encouraging these people and courting their friendship.
 We of the south especially, In years to come must find markets for our prod ucts. and as competition grows 1t will be a hard matter to find suitable mar kets. We should be improving every opportunity to keep intouch with our South American neighbors, for they are to be great consumers in the future. We who do keep in touch with things down there know that development is going on at an enormous rate and the demand for products of all kinds is going to be- come greater from year to year. Let's stop this thing of ridicuing our South American friends"

LADIES' BAND WILL
 PLAY AT BIG FAIR

Words of praise for the Ma Yassar La- dies band. which will furnish music at the State Fair next month, continue to come generously from the several north ern cities in which this unusual band has appeared during the summer. At the fair this fall the Ma Vassar female band of 40 pieces will be one of the most interesting features every afternoon and evening.
 The concerts by this band will include music to suit all tastes. During the pres ent season it has visited many of the northern cities and has made a tour of Canada. Birmingham will be it's first appearance in the south. Throughout the north it's most popular number was Yer dis Anvil Chorus" This piece, rendered by the Ma Vassars, is most pleasing. lt is inspiring sight to watch ten pretty girls assume the role of blacksmiths and dressed in the trappings of the calling. hammer on the anvils till the blocks of iron give forth showers of electric sparks. This number has never passed without en- cores.
 One of the most popular afternoon num- bers, which will be presented in Birming- ham is the "cloak Store" Among the popular overtures presented are Saul" William Tell" The sextet from "Lu- cia." by six sexaphonists. is another treat.
 The solo and duet work is a feature of this band. One of the most pleasing duets Is the Swiss Boy by Misses Lillian Sei- ger and Bertha silsby. Among the cor net soloists of note in the band are Ber- tha Hall, on the saxaphone Nellie Mae Hoone, an exceptional triple-tonged cor netist, and Cora Lewis, whose xylophone solo tha 'Moclting Bird is a real treat

RIVER STEAMER
 COMPANY FOR MED

Dover, Del, Sept. 2O.-The Mississippi Valley Transportation company, capital $10.O0O.000. was chartered here today. Sen ator William J.

We expect our tow boats will give us a fleet capacity for the year about 6,0000O0 tons, and we ex- pect to have to increase beyond that in a couple of years.

Factor In Modern Progress

Discoveries and inventions of far reaching value to mankind were crowded into the last century. No century had been so luminous as the Nineteenth; but the Twentieth prom ises to be no less remarkable in large enterprise-scientifi and otherwise. The ingenuity, energy and daring which characterize men in this mod ern age make almost any dream of the dreamer seem possible of realiza- tion. As varied and important as the practical uses of electricity have been electrical science in general is only partially developed or understood and the imagination cannot begin to pie ture what may be done in a short time in the way of controlling and utilizing the mysterious forces of na- ture and making them contribute to mans comfort and happiness. Avia- tion will become as common as navi- gation and it will not be very long either before the flying machine is a commercial success.
 But with all the progress made in this country in a material way within the past 25 years few things have been followed by results more benefi- cent than the building of good roads. The good roads movement should cer- tainly be listed with the notable facts of recent times. When efforts were first made to organize associations for promoting the work of improving high ways, especially in the south, there was little encouragement. And for some time the good roads movement was regarded by many as merely hobby of visionaries. A campaign of education, however, soon bore fruit, and today in nearly every state of the Union good roads construction goes on rapidly. Within the past 10 years marvellous progress has been made and in another 10 years a bad road used as a county highway will be un- known.
 The Alabama Good Roads associa- tion has been of great service to the rural communities of this state and it promises to be henceforth more active than ever. It has issued a call for a convention in Birmingham October IA and 15. and the response will be, it is hoped, ready and representative. The keen interest manifested in good roads would lead one to predict very large attendance and the programmes insure very profitable discussions.
