OF WOMEN IN ENGLAND

standing crying or playing in the dirt outside the, saloons while their mothers stopped inside. Once in a while one could see baby in a policemans arms, or an officer tending a toddler outside the saloon door.
 But everywhere in London we saw the drinking among women, and no dis trict seemed much better than any other; though there were places where it was more shameless, and where the drinking seemed to cause more misery among the people than 1t caused elsewhere. But that was because the people in those dis tricts were near the verge of misery and drink pushed them over the brink. Their degradation was unspeakable. And the presence of saloons in such overwhelming majorities over any other kind of store, showed the cause of the poverty. The French, the Italian and the German may be able to drink their mild spirits-wine and beer. English blood has no sense about alcohol. We have no business with it.
 The unmistakabe harm alcohol is doing to England is so obvious one would think that the patriots who are so worried over the coming of foreign foes, would see their foe at home and conquer him. For to the outsider, who at least has the ad- vantage of fresh eyes upon the subject, the two great evils of English life are alcohol and the landlords. The people are crowded into London. They are put in miserable competition for mere existence. Then, as poverty makes misery and misery is lost for the moment in liquor-- poverty therefore makes drink; and drink. taking the spare pennies of the poor. makes poverty. There you have it. Pow erty makes drink and drink makes pov- erty-the blades of the shears that keep the British laborer shorne to the skin. And strange as it may seem, the forces that are opposing the Liberals in passing the law against landlordism are opposing the Liberals in trying to alleviate the liquor evil. The Tory house of lords kills temperance legislation, and the saloon keepers are allied as closely in British politics as the moss-b backs in the Ameri- can congress are tied up with the brew ers The lords make poverty by their land system and preserve the poverty with their saloonkeepers' licenses. So the city of the liberals and radicals and so- cialists, who are combined in control of the government-the cry, down with the dukes,,' is wisdom boiled down and ready for household use

opE

By William Collins.
 How sleep, the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blessed! When spring, with dewy fingers colo, Returns to dock their hallowed mould, She there shall dress sweeter sod Than fancy's feet have ever trod' By fairy hands their knell is rung; BY forms unseen their dirge is sung; There honor comes, pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And freedom shall awhile repair. To dwell weeping hermit there!

Industrial Activity.

"One of the best evidences of returning prosperity in the Birmingham district is the fact that the number of blast fur naces in operation in Jefferson county is almost as great now as. 1t was just before the panic,' said a man familiar with the industrial situation.
 "When the -Sheffield's No. 3 at North Birmingham is blown in next week and the Republics No 2 at Thomas the latter part of the month, fully as many furnaces in the immediate Birmingham district will be making iron as was the case In the summer of 1907. By Novem- Der 1 the number will be still further in creased, and the probability is that new high record of iron production in Jefferson county will then be reached.
 Soon after the panic all the Sloss- Sheffields local furnaces were idle, and strangers got the impression that Bir- mingham was hard hit And so it was for a time, but as it turned out this district was relatively better off in the matter of industrial activity throughout 1908 than the Pittsburg district

ELUSIVE LADIES. !"

Elusive ladies' here and there, Contrive to separate A lot of people from their coin By setting up as "Fate" And priestesses of occult at, Whose secret power rules The crass. materialistic world; And hundreds of poor fools Contribute to this worthy cause And delve into the lore Prepared for them by crafty hands, Deluded more and more By "One' who sits upon 'throne," With penetrating eyes. And tells the trembling neophyte A pack of silly lies. Now, human nature s passing strange, The charlatans are quick To see their opportunities And easy marks they pick. And when one field is worked the
 'queen," Or goddess" or what-not, Packs up her wand and wierd costume And hunts some other spot, Where persons who've beeen thought astute And blessed with common sense, Come sneaking in, with awe-struck look, And wait in dread suspense To hear her give an answer pat To what they want to know. While the "elusive lady" smiles And gathers in the dough.

Good Reference Library.

'I had occasion to visit the public library in the city hall day or so ago. said a professional man, and I quickly remarked the improvement since the last time I was there, several months ago. It is evident that the secretary of the library, Miss Greene. and her assistant are well qualified for their work, for I found the books admirably arranged and thoroughly catalogued. The refer ence department is. exceptionally valuable. It would not require a very large ex- penditure to make this branch of the library complete. and a most helpful branch it is.
 "The Birmingham Public Library asso- citation has been conducting campaign of education and it is entitled to the thanks of the community for what 1t has already accomplished. This is certainly a disinterested service and the appeals of the association for cooperation on the part of the citizens should meet with ready response all along the line. The fact is that a city of Birmingham's size should have library building of its own, with fully stocked book shelves"

THERE WAS NOT A GAME RUN
 MING LAST NIGHT.
A Denial of Many Sensational 2umors
 of Law Defying.

Prescott, July 29-(Special.) )-Re- ports published in southern papers about gambling in this city are great ly exaggerated. The fact is that sev- eral small games tried to open but there k no gambling here now. A careful search by a representative of the Courier failed to find a single game in operation tonight. There is no disposition on the part of the sa- loon men here to evade or defy the laws.
 District Attorney Henry D. Ross, when seen by representative of the Courier said: Reports that I condOne gambling is false | am opposed to gambling and have always stood ready to do my full duty
 Mayor protem Ben Belcher was in dignant over the report that he was dealing a roulette game. He said he had never dealt roulette in his life and that there was no gambling in his house.
 Sensational newspaper stories about Governor Sloan calling out the militia to suppress gambling is regarded as a joke. Prescott is able to enforce all the laws on the statute book in the opinion of the leading businessmen here.

Children in order to be fitted for life
and to enjoy old age should be educated
in temperance, brotherly kindness. and
love 70 God and one another. They
should not be trained like so many
dumb animals, for they have an intelli-
gent will and should be directed to con-
troll all their powers.
Children should be taught self-con-
troll Some children have SO long been
taught that they have no will of their
own, their individuality is emerged in
the one who superintends their train
ing, and so they are of the wishy-
washy kind, whatever their surround
ings they are with them.
Children should be taught to move
from principle and not from policy.
The important thing to teach them at
an early age is to decide what is right
and never swerve from it no matter
what the consequences.
In my next l hope to carry the ques-
tiou farther and take up the question
of training the youth properly in order
to prepare for happy old age.
