says tbe raneville Headiirhtt:

Tn the recent election many men 1T this section came to the polls for ths first time in twenty-five years to cas- their votes, and almost invariably these votes were cast against ths amendment.
 This brief statement of fact shows more plainly that any mere argument can do the deep interest that was felt in the late campaign. If these voters who had been so indifferent for a quarter of a century. had not felt that this was e matter of general and ab- sorbing importance they would have remained torpid and indifferent and allowed the election to go by default, so far as they were concerned. What was true of Clay county was doubt less more or less true. of other To- calities.

MONDAY. DEcnmBER IS. 1909.

The Albany Herald is ono contem- porary that never fails to speak up for the farmers who raise hogs. It tells some of the reasons for meat prices. but. it adds, with hogs now bringing cents e pound gross in Chicago those who arc going to have to buy meat next year may as well begin tight now to prepare to pay high prices for 1t. And the best way for the average farmer to prepaSe for the impending advance in the meat market is to go to raising hogs. Every good farmer ought to raise at least enough hogs to furnish bacon Tor the requirements of his own farm, anyhow. and when hogs are selling al cents a pound gross 1t looks like the time has come when he will bs forced to do it."

PulIman Reform.

Pittsburg Gazette Times.
 Once in a while even the Pullman n Palace Car Company gets a glimmAr- ing of sense. It is now contemplating several reforms-not as to upper berth prices and better cars on non -competf- tive routes, 1t is true, but in usage. The porter no longer Is to be per mitted to gather up grips like a bundle of sticks without regard for consequences to their contents, and lug them out. meantime haltihg egress at destination by blocking the platform This will be a sensible departure, and will protect passengers from destruc- tive over -officiousnesS. Also pas sengers may not take near trunks, or touring cases that would choke a tun- mel. Into sleeping cars. to the incOn- venience and peril of patrons. Latter ly night Pullmans have been convert ed into a experimentation of discomfort and danger by violations of all the ethics in such cases made and pro- he were better off in day coach or the baggage car if he would move about at all.
 Porters are required hereafter to conduct passengers to the end of the car when brushing them off. or down. or beating the dust and a couple of dimes out of them. The old custom was to brush one passengers ravelings and germs off on to anothers, so that by the time Sambo was through talk ing up his collection all hands had their proper proportion of the right of way clinging to them Henceforth things will be different-in the book of rules at least.

PSEuMATIc TIRES.

Those who see pneumatic, or hollow rubber tires in constant use on bi- cycless automobiles and other vehicles never stop to think or inquire when or by whom they were invented. or when they came into use. We can all remember that 1t has been a compar- atively short time since rubber tires of any kind were first seen, and they were all solid rubber; the hollow ones were 8 later development. The fol- lowing extract from an article in The Hartford Times throws light on the subject: 4g, s.t ss~ zt.
 The first appe pearance of the pneu- matic tire so far as the present gener- ation is concerned was at Belfast. Ire- land, in May, 1889, when. at a cycle raes' race the rider s,,,u of a bicycle equipped victory in every event in which he took part A patent was taken out on pneumatic tire as long ago as 1S46 But this invention was not practical and 1t remained for another English man, J. E, Dunlop, to 're-invent'' the tire and obtain the patent in 1888,
 
 tive to its owners and led to the de- velopment first of the bicycle and ten years later of the automobile. To Mir Dunlop has been awarded the credit, as The London Autocar says, "of solv- ing what the engineering world called the insoluble problem of putting com pressed air In harness for the ameli- ora ton and perfection of road locomo- tion.".
 Thus it would seem that to the En- N. oE this form of rubber tire. Why some ingenious Yankee had not done 1t long before an Englishman is hard to understand. as they usually are ahead of the rest of the world in inventing things. It is to be noted however, that the French are not disposed to give all the credit to the Britons. Re- gently the Du Cross Tire Company of London, gave a dinner to the head and president of the organization. and invited the great Michelin Tire Com pany. of Paris, to send a representa- tive to participate in it. This was declined. but the compapy sent a let ter to the editor of The Autocar. in which it was said:
 Facts.-In the history of the pneu- matic tire there are four specially i'm portant facts:
 l. The invention of the pneumatic tire.
 2: It's use as fixed tube tire" on bi- cycles.
 3. The transformation of the fixed tube tire" into a detachable tire. 1. Its use on motor cars. Who invented the pneumatic tire? Thomson, who patented his invention in 1s45.
 Who applied the invention of the fixed tube tire to bicycles. J. B. Dunlop, in 1888.
 Who invented the detachable cycle tire? Edouard Michelin. in 1891 (Par- is-Brest Race).
 Who first applied this invention to motor ears? Again Edouard Miehelin 1 (Paris- Bordeaux Race lS95). Why then, is the demonstration or ganized on account of services render ed to the motor industry given in hon or of neither Thomson, Dunlop, nor Edouard Michelin. the three real fath- ers-and the only ones-of the pneu- matic tire?
 So 1t would seem that this, like many other inventions which have been of great service. is a matter of

Is there any hope or probability of an end of the Cook and Peary contro- versy? The friends of each claimant seem more anxious to discredit and dishonor the other man than they are to sustain the claims of their own. There surely must be some way to settle the dispute fairly and satisfac- torily, and so that 1t will remain set tied. If not there are many who will be led to regret that there is such a place as the North Pole. or that any one tried to find It..

TAFTs TO RECEIVE ALONE.

White Houser 'sLine~ And sBlue Room

 Formal Announcement win soon be made from the White House of the program which will prevail there dur ing the impending official season and of the radical changes which will be made in the manner of conducting
 The President and Mrs. Taft have determined to change the procedure of former administrations. One change proposed is the abolishmeEt of the long-esta blisfed Tine" and the con- sested .'Blue Room fist" The ..iine'' means the members of the Cabinet and their wives who stand in line to re- ceive the hundreds of guests. The 5iue Room list means q lot of per ly, who have been crowded into the Blue Room at each preceding state re- ception. to their own discomfort and to the curiosity of those who were cle." In the past there were . hun- dred or more favored guests who re- ceived cards to the Blue Room and who got their names on a specially printed list.
 Although no announcement has yet come from the White House. it Is understood that the President and Mrs. Taft desire to continue the regime of Hospitality, whether established upon MT. Taft's assumption of office, and as the Blue Room list has never had any real significance except in the so- cial distinction which 1t drew. 1t Is of no importance in the White House social program.
 Under the new order of things 1t is proposed that the President and Mrs. Taft will receive alone. and the mem bers of the Cabinet and their wives, instead of standing in line, will be the only guests invited to the Blue Room.
 Mrs Taft has never drawn any line In regard to her affiliations and can- not be said to have identified herself her friends say, she has also decided to do away with the weekly meet ings of the women of the Cabinet.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.

By the official count of the bailots cast in the special amendment cleo ton of November ss it is sesn that three-fifths of tho total vote boiled was cast against the amendment. The majority. a7.s4s. in view of the strong ly contested campaign. and in view of the peculiar resources of the amendment forces. was unprecedent- ediy large in Aiabama politics.
 The total vote of 125.ss5 was larger than had been expected. but we'll in- formed politicians knowing the in- terest that had been aroused in the campaign predicted that the vote would go above l15.oOo. The predic- tion of a small vote was one of those eases in which the wish was father to the thought. and 1t was made by those who had not been students of political and election conditions in Alabama.
 The size of the majority was a sur prise to those who were closely iden- titled with the anti-amendment fight. although they had been confident at ali times. While they had every req son to believe. from the reports made beat by beat. that the majority would approach 25.ooo. the most sanguine of thax, xfe,o,ntaa s&.uo u..o... .s lpected a majority of about 2e.eoo They were informed of conditions in the country beats and knew that the country voters would be against the amendment. but they had not expect ed so many men who had worn white ribbons in the campaign to vote against the amendment. In Montgom- cry election managers are positive in saying that some men who came ir wearing white ribbons marked the No on the official ballot. And oth. CT cities and towns report the same thing. s
 The vote of 4soss for the amend. FT4H fl
 ment may have come up to the ex. pectations of the amendment leaders but in the facee'of the 7s.272 ballots which. represented the aroused and combined opposition to the amend ment 1t seems small. The majority is so overwhelming that there Is nc room for the strife and dissension of contest. In Jefferson county where the .amenders controlled completely the election machinery, as they did in many other counties, 6 majority of l. 7oi was registered against the amend metat It did not seem to matter whether the defenders or the amend CTS controlled the election machinery --the county went against the amend ment just the same.
 While the cities and large towns polled heavy maJorities against the amendment. 1t. met it's real. Waterloo in the country beats. The majority against the amendment grew every time the .belated returns from a coun- try beat came in. In the smaller towns. those having under 5000 pop uiation the samendment fared well. II carried many of these towns, al. though. if the vote of all such towns were totalied 1t would probably be found that the amendment had been defeated in these. towns although the majority would not be large.

 There are some men who hold the opinion that if that great statesman and general. Napoleon, were living in New York today he would not be able to carry his jistrict in an election. The Sullivans, according to this theory. would easily put him out of business. those who contend that In the last presidential election if George Wash ington had been running on the Re- publican ticket, even William Jennings Bryan would have made him look like the merest tyro; that if Andrew Jack would be no match for Joseph w. Bailey; and that if Socrates were in the philosophy business today Ebert Hubbard would be ahle/to argue him
 Those who believe all this win ex- plain that Napoleon, Washington. Jackson and even Socrates were all men suited particularly to their own time; that they were the products of their environment.
 It is very probable. however, that if any of those men were alive today, they would be as powerful now as they were in their own day. They had to have wonderful intellects to make the impression that they did on their own day; they would probably have the same intellects today, and would apply their powers to modern problems with equal success.
 Napoleon would probably have car ried his district even against the Sul- livans. He would have gone to Com likelihood he would not have left 1t so quickly. And Socrates would cer- tainly have given La Toilette. Cum mlns, and Tillman considerable and beaten them to the dough pile at that.

A Family Reunion.

New York Times.
 At one of the New York theatres, where popular play is now running and seats are at a premium, two men "a salesman and an out-of-town buyer arrived late and could find no place except two seats In box. They had hardly been seated when man end a woman who were in the same pfe- dlcament entered the box, and the country buyer was not little sur prised to find that they were from the same town in the western part of the State that he came from. The first act was nearly over when two other men were ushered into the box, and the first man, looking at them, said that he now felt at home," fir they were also townspeople. The salesman. who became the rank out slider" for the rest of the evening, said the incident made material for good story. but he pitied "the folks at home" who would have to hear 1t for the rest of their natural lives.
