 Gossip Of Alabama.

Washington, March 20.--{SpeciaL)-- Postmaster General Hitchcock knocked out today thu referee system in the eight Democratic districts of Ken lucky by announcing that Senator Bradley would be permitted to make recommendations in these districts, would look after postmasters for the other three districts
 As there are no Republicans from Alabama. much speculation is heard here as to who will control appoint ments in that State.
 The .alk today Is that National Com mitteeman Barker of Mobile is likely to supplant Joe Thompson in the event President Taft decides to dispense with his~services.
 Indeed, quite number of Alabam- ians are inclined to think that If the referee system Is continued in Ala bama, Barker will be more in favor than Thompson, as the Mobile post master is said to be regarded in ad- ministration circles as being far su- perior in every way to Thompson. Scott and others who were allowed to control the Federal pap during the Roosevelt administration. and there are strong intimations that President Taft is considering new deal all around in Alabama.

FOXES FUN AT SOUTH
WARRINGTON PAPER AND DUTY ON
 LUMBER.
Surely, It Says, the Eiehty-six Firms ef Manufacturers Which Pe-
 titioned Against Tarin Are Denieetats.

Washington, March 20.--(5pecial)- The Star rank Republican in its .polit- ical policy, prints this afternoon front page article, In which the paper sar- castically refers to resolutions or Southern firms regarding certain pro- posed tariff revisions.
 The writers on The Star came across the resolutions. recently adopted by the Alabama West Florida, Lumber Manu- lecturers Association protesting against reductions of the lumber du- ties, and which were generally publish ed in the South at the time Of their adoption, and which also have been sent to Senators and Representatives.
 The Star is disposed to poke fun at the Southern firms. for it says:
 "How's this? Do our eyes deceive us? Let's put on our glasses and look closer.
 '.Yes; here 1t is, a petitionf from eighty -six lumber firms in Alabama ana Florida, protecting against reducing the duty on lumber Surely Alabama and Florida (with the names Of the towns and the companies all set out) are Democratic.
 strangely familiar is the ring of ar guments presented therein against re- duction. There Is talk of the compet- ing lumber of Mexico, cut by peon la bor. and Canadian lumber, cut by Orl- ental labor, all from stumpage. varying from one-quarter to one-half Jess In price than American timber and sup feet to less taxation. It Is claimed that labor enters into the production of lumber to the extent of 70 per cent r. "One paragraph in the petition there ia that sounds odd from Southern sources. The recent election has em- phatlcally demonstrated that an over whelmlng majority of the people are in favor of the protection of American industries"
 Construed in the light of the electo- ral vote of Florida and Alabama, some statesmen say they detect a yellow pine streak in this statement

JUVENILE CRIMINALITY.

William PinkertOn, head of the Pin
kerton detective agency, attributes
much juvenile delinquency and Grim
inality to crimes depicted in the
cheaper moving picture shows" The
problem of the day, he says. is the
amateur, the young man or boy with
a desperateness born of trashy study
of crime. He is the fellow who uses
the revolver, often without the slight
est provocation, except that he had
read that robbers always shoot reck-
lessly and pronriscuously. Crime will
always exist until legislation banishes
the dime novel and the trian robber
display"
Crime will always exist even if these
were banished, but that they prompt
crime in boys there is no doubt The
noxious dime novel is, we believe, less
common than it was years ago, yet
there is altogether too much of this
class of crime suggesting literature
afioat AS to the moving picture
shows, society should exercise a con-
slant surveillance and if necessary
regulation of them. Children and
youth must be entertained and NOV
ing picture shows that present no evil
suggestions are a very proper kind of
entertainment. They must present
scenes that interest visitors, or else
they could not maintain themselves:
how to do this and yet present moth
ing that suggests crime or vice is not
an easy problem, for human nature
is so constituted that these are the
most interesting things to most peo-
pc. But they must be cut out of the
shows, even if the business languishes
and dies.
1t is bad enough when plays por-
traying Jolly crime and joyous vice
are presented in theaters, attended
mostly by adults, but the shows at
tended chiefly by boys and girls
must be kept clean, and not allowed
to suggest in pictures the romance of
crime

Mr.. HILL A HARD TASKMASTER.

1t is probable that the striking
switchmen have some substantial
grievances. James J. Hill, who con-
trolls the Northern Pacific and the
reat Northern, has the reputation of a
hard taskmaster and his men general
ly have found him hard to deal with.
In strikes of this character the pub
lie would like to see arbitration under
the Erdman act. 1t has been tried
with admirable results, and while there
was nothing compulsory about it it
was employed with momentous effect
in 1907 when trainmen and conductors
of the railroads west of Chicago were
about to strike for shorter hours and
advanced wages. They were we'll or
ganized and $4,000 miles of railroad
would have been tied up if the strike
had been ordered.
The men demanded a nine hour day
and a II per cent increase in pay. The
railroads would concede only to a 10
hour day and 10 per cent increase IN
wages. At this crisis Chairman Knapp
and Commissioner Neill, proceeding
under the provision of the Erdman
law, which authorized the chairman of
the interstate commerce commission
and the United States commissioner Of
labor to use their best efforts by me-
diation and conciliation' to settle the
difficulty, arrived in Chicago on March
80 and by April had settled all diff
ferences. The men were induced to
abandon their demand for a nine-hour
day and the employers to concede an
advance in pay. The railroads further
agreed not to reduce the size of the
train crew or to increase tonnage of
trains so as to offset the advance in
wages.
The result was industrial peace and
a total yearly increase in wages of
about $5,500.000 shared by $4,000 men.
The United States arbitration law was
also successfully called into use the
same year when a strike was threat
ened by the telegraphers of the South
ern Pacific neutrality-suspicious.

to show that poverty was no disgrace,
these young men, during this week of
lowest subsistence, invited the chan
cellor of the university to dine or sup
cepted, and as we believe, to the graf
ification of hosts and guest
AS a matter of course, upon reading
of an incident like this there is bound
to ensue more or less reflection upon
the hackneyed theme of plain living
and high thinking; as to how far the
one is conducive to the other in uni
versity or college life, and as to wheth-
err or not the university or college
should maintain the one to insure the
other.
1t is altogether probable, that these
Kansas young men have achieved this
remarkably low mark in living be-
cause they were impelled to it by lack
Of funds. 1t is also probable that no
single student in that dollar-a week
club would continue his membership
therein if he felt able to spend more
for his weekly keep. But the club
idea lends something of social recog
niticn to unavoidable and honorable
poverty, and what might have been
specifically regarded as a shortcom
ing, is transformed in the same sense
to a virtue.
Suppose that the principle involved
were to be applied to the conduct of
the general student body of the Kan
sas University or for that matter, to
any other university; would the result
be beneficial or otherwise? Considered
within certain limitations, the question
scarcely admits of argument. To
make plain living the fashion would
certainly obviate embarrassment on
the part of the poorer students, and
would tend to dissipate that social dis
tinction which depends almost entirely
upon the wealth. or parents. mat InlS
would, in itself, constitute moral train
ing of value to the entire student body;
that it would at least, strengthen
democratic sentiment and cultivate
habits of reasonable abstinence which,
in turn would enhance both the ply
steal and mental powers, is true, or
the experience of mankind is utterly
at fault
It may not be that any university
could impose regulations of the dollar
a-week order; but every university
could teach the moral, mental and ply
steal value of plain living, to the pal
pable advantages of all parties inter-
ested.
