New Railroads This Year

The south built this year 2030 miles of railroad, as against 3742 miles last year. West Virginia alone shows an increased mileage, while Texas, Mis- souri, Oklahoma and Arkansas show heavy decreases.
 Alabama's mileage this year is but 55; in 1908 it was 103.70 miles. The 57 miles built this year consisted of 24 miles of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern from Daucy to 8 point near Ram sey; of 2s miles from Pelham to Besse- mer, and from Bessemer to Mulga, on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, and five miles on the Birmingham Southern. It was a year of light con struction.
 The coming year is more promising. The Alabama, Tennessee and Northern is to be extended. The Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic is to be com pleted to this city. The Cullman Coal and Coke company Is to lay about 25 miles of track The Sumter and Choc- taw will be extended nine miles to Hixon, and the Illinois Central may build c line from Haleyville to Bir- mingham traversing large coal fields that now have no railroad facilities. The distance from Haleyville to Bir- mingham is about 100 miles, More new mileage is promised in 1910, and the figures for 1909 will almost cer- tainly be exceeded. The increase in traffic will assuredly promote new con struction.

Constitutional Amendments In General

Four amendments to the constitution of New York were submitted to the people of that state in the election held on November 2, and all four were carried by a majority of the votes cast in the election. Only about 30 per cent of the voters voted at all on the amendments. All of the amendments would have been lost had not the voters of New York city freely supported all of them.
 One of the amendments proposed to increase the salaries of upstate judges; another related to boards of super visors: still another called for canal appropriation, and the fourth was planned to extend the debt limit of New York city so as to provide for additional subways and transit lines.
 All these were approved by the peo- pie by small vote. The vote of New York city turned the scale, and the big city was interested in procuring an extension of it's public debt limit. Ill other words, few thousand voters in one end of the state put into the constitution of the state four important amendments despite the opposition of the upstate voters and the neglect of many voters in all parts of the state The average constitutional amendment is not burning issue. The one sub mitted in Alabama on November 29 was an exceptionally live wire, but the average amendment does not generally interest the public.

the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star
 Capt. J. F. Chase of Veteran City, Fla. was in Washington last month to register his forty-seventh airshp patent. Captain Chase is best known as the in- ventor of the hoopskirt.
 Discussing the hoopslSlrt's remarkable success, Captain Chase said to a reporter:
 "The success was due to the skirt s strageness. Women like strange things. By catering to women, by studying their taste a man can twist them around his finger
 The veteran officer smiled.
 "Ballentine" he said, 'came in late to a song recital In Palm Beach and there wasn't a vacant seat in the house.
 "Ballentine noticed Mrs Jerome Blank. Mrs. Jerome Blank. he knew, had very handsome husband that she kept a strict watch oversize didn't like him to asso- ciate with any of the fair sex
 "Ballentine, edsng near to Mrs Blank who had an excellent seat said in loud voice to friend:
 Who was that enormously pretty girl I saw Jerome Blank talking to on the pierT
 Tn about four seconds Mrs. Blank was gone. and Ballentine was seated com fortably in her chair"

PEARY'S INNINGS.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 Com. Robert F. Peary cannot be blamed for saying, 'I told you so." He has met with a cold reception where Cook was acclaimed, and he has suffered be- cause of a disbelief that 10 now well-nigh universal. People who formerly de- nounced him with the greatest vigor may have a very decided change of heart toward him. When they admit that Cooks case has collapsed they naturally share Peary's indignation. If they had felt as they do now about Cook when they first heard of his claim they would have been in the same state of mind that drove Peary to send out his ihdiscreet dispatches.
 Of course, Peary had direct personal interest that they lack and was much ab- sorbed with the thought of his own fame. But he was indignant over what he earn estly believed was a fraud and expressed himself emphatically, as men are apt to do under those circumstances
 He would, of course have shown great CT wisdom if he had exercised greater self control. We should suppose, how ever. that the tendency will be to forgive him his haste and render him belated honors if his own claims are felt to be thoroughly substantiated.

Questions of the Census Man

The thirteenth decennial census will be taken next April, and the informa- tion desired concerning every man, woman and child in the country about 90,00o,000 in number-will be covered by 32 questions. The ques- tions will be asked by 67,000 enumera- tors, not to mention a large force in Washington that will handle the re- turns of the enumerators.
 The 32 questions are classified un- der 13 groups. The name and place where each one lives will be required, and then each ones age, and whether they are married or divorced Tho story of the household will in fact have to be told to the census man, who will jot it down. Sex, color and race will be carefully noted, so will each ones place of nativity and each one's ability to speak English or some other tongue. The old soldiers of the Civil War are to be counted.
 The history of each individual will be sought and the 32 questions. 1t is hoped, will elicit all desired informa- ton, but in many instances the emu merators will have to accept whatever information they are able to secure.

2elaya Leaves NiCaragla

Jose Santos Zelaya, ex-president of Nicaragua, who was driven out of of fee by Philander Knox, has left Mica ragua, bound to Salina Cruz, a Mexi- can port, at the Pacific end of the Te- hauntepec railroad
 The manner of his leaving was sig nifcant. He was welcomed on board a Mexican gunboat, which steamed away publicly and yet unopposed. He had the protection of the Mexican flag, and Mexico is today his friend. The United States and Mexico have long been on friendly terms, but Secretary Knox's want of tact and adroitness In the Nicaraguan incident has undoubt- edly created some friction between the two republics that lie on either side of the Rio Grande.
 Secretary Knoxs pretense of holding zelaya personally responsible to a Sudi BC Ol VSf HI IQ6 Cd6S6 LII SfOC6 and Cannon, who were shot to death under a military sentence of Nicara- qua is all nonsense. He cannot even have him arrested, much less tried, for murder. The entire Knox manage ment of the trouble that arose in Mic aragua Is a bklnder from start to fin ish. He has, however, succeeded in driving out the only man in Nicaragua who could cope with civil war there, and the victory of General Estrada at Rama will now no doubt suffice to plunge the entire republic into chaot- ic condition. Logically speaking, 1t would then become the duty of this country to intervene and perhaps to annex Nicaragua. Knoxism would then be in full bloom.

JAPANESE INDUSTRIES.
Extensive Development Shown in All
 Directions,

From Cassells Magazine
 There is not less than 1.200, ,O00 900 tons of coal deposited in Japan. This coal Is now being mined at the rate of 14,000, GOO tons year. The coal seams usually vary from three to eight feet thick, and are mostly so conveniently situated that they can be worked by incline. there being very few shafts in operation yet Some shafts are. however, being sunk to a depth of 1000 feet, and two 900 foot shafts have just recently started working.
 In the north, in the island of Hokkaido, a coal field containing 13 seams, Of which the thinnest Is three feet thick, has been discovered; in another part of the same island 20 seams have been found. five at least being workable while in still an- other district there are three excellent seams, of which one is 25 feet thick and of great extent. In the south, in the is land of Kiushiu, the coal measures are at least 90 miles long by from to IS miles wide, and are estimated to contain 60O.00O00O tons, or about half the entire quantity In sight in Japan
 The Japanese coal mines now employ nearly 60,0oo hands, the annual per capita
 
 in Japan-shaft fl by P feet, 896 feet deep, and daily output of HOO tohs Nearly all the cutting in Japanese mines Is done by hand, but machinery Is being intro- duced and 1t is hoped that cost of pro- duction will be reduced So far as coal is concerned the industrial future of Japan seems we'll assured.
 The initial outlay on the Imperial Steel Works at Wakamatsu, Japan, was un- necessarily heavy, and this handicapped the enterprise somewhat; but the govern ment seems determined to persevere, and no doubt they will meet with success financially before long, as thy have al- ready attained success mechanically.
 Rifles, heavy artillery, big guns for bat tleships, etc, are now being made in these works, and it is so intended to develop and extend the concern as to render the Japanese admiralty practically independ- ent of foreign steel and armament mak- CTS.
 The largest shipbuilding establishment in Japan is the one at Nagasah. founded, as already mentioned. by the government in 1857. In 1884, however, this yard was sold to Baron Iwasaki. its principle own CT, and Is now known as the Mitsu Bishi Works. When the undertaking was sold by the imperial authorities 500 men were employed. Today 8500 are employed.
 It was not until 1898 that the first 6o0o- ton steamer was launched-the Hitachi Maru, for the Nippon Yusen Kaisha. The construction of this vessel, coupled with the ship subsidy law, of which it was really product marked the beginning of a new era in Japanese ship building. Improvements and extensions followed rapidly and the Mitsu Bishi is now one of the best equipped establishments in the world

For An Early Primary

Public sentiment crystalizes rapidly. Shortly after the November election many prominent democrats were favor able to the idea of putting off the pri- mary until summer or even September. but the indications now point strongly to spring primary. Certain 1t is that by the time the democratic state com. mittee meets in January the demand for an early primary will be very in sistent
 As The Age Herald said yesterday, all agree on one thing-the state needs a political rest. Alabama will elect a governor, a lieutenant governor and other officers and legislature. Sev- eral candidates are already in the field and just as soon as the state commit tee decides on plans and primary date, the campaign will begin in earn est In view of the situation, there fore, the sooner the nominations are made, the sooner will come the desired political rest. An April primary would mean six full months of freedom from political turmoil.

PEARY's PROOFS.

From the Washington Post.
 Commander Peary should sumbit his proofs that he reached the north pole to some scientific body other than the Ma tional Geographic society. The same body which threw out and repudiated Cook data should be permitted to pass on Peary's
 Is the halo hanging about Peary's head so binding that none may approach to question how or why? Peary's friends were very loud in crying that copen- of pr. Cook. well. Copenhagen has shown a very decided lack of bias and has repudiated Cook incontinently So why not intrust the same university. whose ability and authority in such mat ters are beyond all question, with Pearys proofs?
 To the average layman Pearys account of his discovery of the pole was very similar to that of Dr. Cook. Peary says that he discovered the pole. But so did Cook And when Cook submitted his proofs to Copenhagen they were dis carded as worthless Let Peary take the same test and see how he makes out.
 An investigation by the National Geo graphical society is not sufficient. That body Is more friendly to Peary than Copenhagen was toward Cook. And if Copenhagen had decided in favor of Cook there would have been the biggest wall of partiality, prejudice and bias that the country has ever heard.
 Peary has a good reputation as an ex- plorer; but that Is no reason why he should be held immune from all tests. Dr Cook had a good reputa tion, too, un- till his proofs were found to be insuffi- cent.
 The world was unanimous in demanding Cooks proofs. Now let US have Peary's. It is to his interest to have his conquest proved beyond the peradventure of doubt. The way to obtain verdict that will go unquestioned throughout the world Is through an unbiased society and Copen- hagen has certainly given proof of it's ini- partiality. It's decision would be accepted by the entire scientific world If Peary has nothing to fear he should not hesi- tate to come forward with his proofs. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

IN HOTEL LOBBlES
A Ticket for 1912.

Should Judson Harmon be reelected governor of Ohio next fall he would be the right man for the democrats to nom mate for President in 1912" said W. P. G. Harding, president of the First National bank.
 Governor Harmon beat Harris, the re- publican, by a good plurality-nearly 2o.- 000-in 1908, and as he is making an ex- cellent record in office, the chances seem favorable to his reelection
 "A great ticket for 1912 would be Jud- son Harmon of Ohio for President and Joseph r. Johnston of Alabama for vice president. That ticket should win, pro- vided of course, Harmon carries his state for 0 second term as governor. Harmon Is fine type of the sturdy democrat. He was in the cabinet in Cleveland's second administration as At torney General for nearly two years and while he was not a showy man, he was regarded as one of the ablest members of the Presidents official family. He was sound on the money question and was a striking exponent of Jeffersonian democracy.
 Until recent years 1t was thought that an exConfederate soldier on the dem ocratic ticket would spell defeat; 1t seemed out of the question to even sug- gest such a thing. But happily the old war lines have been completely oblit- erated and as the south supplies most of the electoral votes for the democratic candidates. the time has come when the south should be represented on the dem ocratic ticket. Our junior senator is rattling fine campaiener. He is at once mixer and an effective stump speaker. would add the strength to the ticket that Johnston would and he would beyond question help to carry doubtful border states like Missouri, Maryland and Della ware and win back West Virginia. liar mon and Johnston would make indeed an ideal ticket The outlook for democratic victory in 1912 Is brighter than 1t has been since 1892. The democrats have been divided so long that many of the leaders as well as the rank and file have lost heart But Harmon and Johnston would infuse new life into the democ- racy. At any rate, such a ticket would appeal readily to the imagination.
 "The republicans are in bad shape now and will probably be in worse shape in 1912, and 1t would not be surprising to see the democrats sweep the country again as they did in 1892"

chanse of sentiment.

"After spending two weeks in Alabama I am inclined to think that many men who voted for the prohibition amend ment to the constitution are not sorry that the proposition was defeated,~ said W. G. Marvin of Baltimore. T spent two days in Anniston, a day in Gadsden, a day in Tuscaloosa and two days in Mont gomery and in each of those cities met friends who told me they voted for the amendment but afterwards re- gretted it. Four or i've said they vera prevailed upon by ladies to vote that way against their convictions. Each one of them said he was opposed to saloons in his home town, but did not think 1t just to force prohibition on cities like Mobile and Montgomery, where a majority of the people were in favor of high license and strict regulation. Mobile is more hurt. perhaps, by prohibition than any other city. It Is tourist city and 1t used to be carnival city. And of course no dry town need try to hold carnival.
 ''Prohibitionists have been telling me that prohibition will continue to be the states policy. In @ general way this may be true, but 1t is safe bet that in state election on a straight-out issue as to whether the drastic law now in force should remain, those opposed to 1t would win. Scores of people with whom I have talked who used to favor saloons say that they would now favor only the licensing of beer and wine traffic.
