WELSH AND MEMSIC
ARE HARD At WORK
Chicago Boy in Better Con-
dition Than He Has
Been in for Mouths.

Los Angeles. Cal. Jan. 2s.-Freddie
welsh and George Memsic each put in
several hours of hard work today in
preparation for their ten round fight at
the Pacific A. c. next Tuesday night
< big crowd was out to watch Memsic
go through his PAGES at the East Side
Athletic club. The Chicago boy graft
fed the onlookers by boxing several
lively rounds with his sparring part
ners and putting in plenty of hard
ticks at the gymnasium apparatus.
There is no denying the fact that
Memsic is in better shape than he has
been for months. Ever since he was
bested in a ten round fight by Ruddy
Unholz Memsic has looked pale and
drawn. and in none of his fights since
then has he hone himself Justice. Now
his flesh is hard and firm, his cheeks
are rosy and he looks fit for the hard
est kind of a ring argument.

pretty good catcher for the Sox first

sive all the way through, but he only
landed three or four blows that bother
ed Driscon in any way. The fight was
fast and both were about equally tired
at the end. There is no doubt, how
ever. that Mario could have lasted as
long as the Briton, unless the latter
succeeded in closing both of Marto's
eyes. Driscoll closed one and made
frantic efforts to shut the other. but
did not succeed.

 That there should live a person upon this habitable globe who, while inn mune to a certain disease herself. com municates 1t to others, Is one of the most bewiidering facts or Actions of the day. Yet there Is a woman in New demoniaca1 quality. About two years ago. Mary Mallon was engaged as a cook in a number of prominent fami- lies In New York, and though entirely healthy herself, she is said to have communicated typhoid to nearly every one with whom she came in contact.
 The health authorities, considering to North Brother Island. where she has actually been quarantined for about two years. There she claims she has been treated as if she We're a leper. She was placed in a house by herself and allowed only dog as compan-- ion. No one associated with her, and her meals were brought to the door unfortunate woman has been kept in solitary confinement rivalling in horror that of Dreyfus on Devils Island.
 A lawyer is now trying to get Ty- phOid Mary, as she Is called. out of her improvised prison. It seems incon- permitted in this enlightened age. Ac- cording to medical science. the trans mission of the disease in this manner Is impossible, and medical science cer- tainly ought to intervene and put an end to this barbarous episode. If Mary Is full of typhoid germs science should rid her of them. If she. is not, then her to create the germs and transmit them to others

THE EXTRA SESSION

The extra session of the Legislature is to come at last And if 1t had to come July 27 Is about as good a date for 1t to convene as any other. It has not been demonstrated that an extra session is necessary to the welfare of the State. but since it has to come the people are hoping that 1t will be as short as possible. In the very nature of things the Legislature cannot meet without disturbing business, and busi- ness In Alabama needs, just now as little disturbance as 1t can get
 So far as is shown the purpose of the extraordinary session of the Leglsla- ture Is to pass new railroad and new prohibition laws. If there Is need for an extra session for such legislation the burden of the blame for the neces- sity falls upon those who were most responsible for railroad and prohibi- ton legislation. The present Legisla- ture of Alabama Is remarkable in the fact that two men who were not mem- bers of the body, who had no privI- legeS or obligations as members. had more to do with shaping important legislation than any half dozen mem bers of the House or Senate.
 The railroad legislation was dictated by the Governor of Alabama. The pro- hibltion legislation was dictated by the Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. Neither the Governor nor the Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League had seat or vote In the Leg islature, but every bill they endorsed was passed and passed quickly. If the work was slovenly done, If there were such sins of omission that ap extra session Is necessary. the responsibility rets upon the powerful advisers of the Legislature and the Legislature itself
 The Governor semi officially an nounces that a compulsory education law Is one of the Legislatures most i'm portant duties. But 1t should be re- called that a compulsory education bill was before the Legislature In It's last session and that if the Governor had said the word it would have been quickly passed.
 The coming extra session emphasizes two evils from which Alabama Is suf- ferinE: first the grave ne's+sbA made.

Good Advice.
opelika Morning Post.

Ope1ika Morning Post.
 Editor Hall, in a recent issue of his paper. The Dothan Daily Eaglo. gives some good advice to owners of automobiles.
 He says: There is tendency on the part of some automobile drivers to keep going when they meet a horse that Is trying to do handspring. using the shafts or front axle as a handle bar. They feel like, being in the au- tomobile. out of harm's way, that the horse Is entirely mistaken. and that he Is not scared at all. and will cool down when they get close They may feel this way about 1t, or they may have no feelings. As a whole we have a class of careful automobile drivers but 1t is not considered a safe propo- sition to run the machine on into a horse or mule that is trying to crawl over the buggy or wagon, or go un- der. The machine might be stopped, for the man who drives fool mule, or a fool horse. and knows what will happen when an automobile is sighted will eventually take to the habit ot carrying gun about the front This is bad practice, but was once in vogue, before all the horses got used to bicycles, fifteen years ago."

THE EMPIRE OF INDIA
CAUSES OF THE UNREST
By Frederic ]. Hask,n.

Nearly a hundred years ago there was 8 great division of opinion in In- dia as to education. It was agreed that the government should encourage edu- cation. but the Orientalists predicted revolution and trouble If the Indians were taught English and western sci- ence and advocated system of educa- ton which would include only Oriental learning. The other party, called An. glicists, took the opposite view It had Tor its leader no less a person than Lord Macaulay. then the legal member or the Governor Generals Cabinet. Macaulay ended the dispute by writing famous minute which decided the government in behalf of English educa- ton. After paying a wonderfully elo. Quent tribute to the English language, he said:
 The question now before us fs sim ply whether. when 1t is in our power 10 teach this language, we shall teach languages in which,. by universal con- fession, there are no books on any sub- 1ect which deserve to be compared to our own; whether when we can teach European science, we shall teach sys. tems which. by universal confession, wherever they differ from those of Bu. rope differ for the worse; and whether. when we can patronf1e sound phfloso- phy and true history. we shall coun. tenance. at the public expense. medical doctrines which would disgrace An English farrier, astronomy which would move laughter in girls at an English boarding school. history abounding in kings thirty feet high and reigns thirty-thousand years long. and geography made of seas of treacIs and seas of butter" 4sba
 English education was established, and the inevitable result is appearing. The people desire for themselves that liberty of which the English boast. No. body knew more of history than Lord Macaulay.

TAFT AND HIS WAYS.

COmmOtiOn. Chicago News.
 While Bwana Tumbo is in partial eclipse for a few minutes, it might be well to turn about with something more than idle curi- osity. and what the President of the United States Is doing.
 Really. you know. the President of the United States might-nay. ought to--receive some notice, even If one of tho editors Of The Outlook Is hunting in Africa.
 With the advent of MT. Taft in the White House the spectacular custom of sending up a rocket every time the President is about to speak has been discontinued. Also. when the President says something he does not Yet a careful examination of the things he terial difference from the things done by his predecessor.
 someipW MT. Taft seefns able to secure some degree of privacy in connection with his amusements, recreations, and table talk He does 1t without knocking any one down or calling anybody a wlllful and malicious some thing other. The mystery is how he does 1t. We had grown accustomed to thinking that the spotlight was glued 10 the President Evidently 1t is not.
 It seems that there Is a growing feeling of safety and restfulness among the people. This feeling, however Is unacGompanted by any sense that the public Is neglecting It's business because 1t is not throwing a fit. The sensation of having the government in the hands of d man perfectly capable of attending to the job goes along with the rest of 1t.
 This Is restIul. sweet-even delicious sensation.

WHAT WILL HE DOT

The New York Globe keeps standing at the head of it's editorial columns the soiiowink extract from a speech made by MT. Taft at Cincinnati:
 Unless we act in accGrdapce with our promises, or if we only keep the word Of promise to the ear and break 1t to the hope. we shall be made accountable conseouenees @ 'ss as fsIi ffaiinre @ to keep faith has always been visited with. It would be better to have no revision at all. unless we are going honestly, and fairly to revise the tarln on the basis promised by our party.
 Now the question is, If Congress, as now seems almost certain. fails to re- pledges and expectations, what will Mr. Taft do? Will he have the cour- age to veto an unsatisfactory law and thus incur the enmity of the leaders of his party? It is no small matter for President to fly in the face of those who placed him in the nigh position he occupies, and whether he will have the moral courage to do 1t Is the question. It should be plain enough to him by this time that the tarif bill that will pass will not be in accordance with the implied and spoken pledges of both himself and his party, but he may ap- prove the bill and satisfy his con- science with the promise of better leg tsiation in the future.
 It is of course possible that Taft may have enough influence with his party leaders to get a law through Congress that will at least come near to what he expects. but that is not e safe foun- dation to build on. Senator Aldrich seems to be bossing things and he will probably take the position that revis- ing the tariff upwards will be carrying out the pledges of the party and will satisfy the expectations of the people. His view of what Is required of his party appears to be quite different from the Taft view. and 1t Is a question as to whose Influence will dominate For tunately 1t will not be a great while before the matter will be settled one way or the other. and whether the work is well or badly done the coun- try will be glad to have 1t over.

Not only has the willy Celestial himself failed to show up. but no relative of his resides there, or has been known to even pass through Atlanta.

vssua1 sise Of the Moon. s,r E I3ay Lankester in London Tei-

The artist has to choose between sci- entihc truth and convention when he sets out tolpaint the moon. A three- penny piece fixed at distance or sH feet from the eye tsay at the end or a horizontal six-foot pole, the othar eno of which is made to press the lower edge of the eye-socket) will just cover the disk of either the sun or the moon hanging in the sky. It Is an absolute fact that this is true, whether the moon Cor the sun) be high in the SKY or low down near the horizon. The real visual size" if the moons disk Is no greater when it Is low than when 1t is high. No one who reads what l have just written will believe me. Ev- cry one thinks that he Knows" that the disk of the harvest moon or of the setting sun occupies a larger space In the sky when Tow" than when high. This Is due to a judgment or mental process, and Is an erroneous one. The eye is not at fault, but the curiously untrustworthy mind Is. What, then. Is the painter to do? He yields to preju- dice. and often paints the low moon or low sun of a size which compared with scientific fact is ridiculously Ax- aRgerated.

by the Constitutional Convention in es- tabiishing ouadrenniai sessions. and. second, the bossism under which the State is laboring.
 One of the specious arguments used in establishing quadrennial sessions was that 1t would be economy for the State. As a matter of fact the present Legislature has already cost. for its own expenses. twice as much as any biennial session ever held in Alabama. The figures show this. Another arEu- ment of the same lightness and inaccu- racy was that two years sessions dis turbed business. The present Legisla- ture was in session through 8 large part of 1907 It divided It's regular sessions one for the winter and one for the fall and now still another ses- sion is on the cards.
 To control Legislature Is a rich and unusual power for one or for two men to have. That the people of Alabama believe that the Legislature is abso- lutely controlled by one or two men, who belong neither to the House nor the Senate, nobody douots. It Is equal ly true that the people of Alabama be- lieve that this power has been used to the harm and detriment of the State.
 It is to be hoped that in the extra session the Legislature shall exercise a new sense of responsibility and inde- pendence, which will redeem its record of subserviency to outside domination.

BOOSTING 4 SWIMMER.

Our New Hampshire contemporaries have a new subject to preen them selves over Recently a young girl of that State. who is only l6 years old. swam a mile and a half without rest ing, and the papers have been giving her a whole lot of boosting. The Chat tanooga Times some what contemptu- ously asks. what Is a 18eyear old girl who can swim a mile and a half good for especially?" and intimates that she would much better have been at some- thing else.
 That. of course, stirred up The Mani chester Union, which first told the story, and 1t stoutly asserts that her swimming ability "presupposes her ability to sew. to cook, to laugh and dance and sing, and her possession of a large variety of other useful accom- plishments which. being indispensable, are not considered particularly re- markable In New Hampshire. Perhaps it will interest Tennesseeans to know that no New Hampshire girl who has not mastered the gentle arts of sewing, cooking. laughing. dancing and sing ing. in addition to such parliamentary branches as washing dishes, sweeping doors. playing the piano, shaking rugs, working embroidery, and the like, is considered by her parents and teachers eligible to promotion to the branches of higher arts, which include swim ming, Hence 1t Is that all New Hamp- shire girls who have reached the age of years or more are expert cooks and seamstresses and thoroughly con- versant with the intricacies of good housekeeping. So. whenever 1t Is said of a New Hampshire girl that she Is a good swimmer, the statement implies also that she is an excellent house. keeper. All this may sound strange in Tennessee, but it Is well known throughout New England"
 It is very nice in The Union to stand up for its girl athlete, but all the same we fail to see that being a good swim mer Is any indication of willingness or ability to perform the culinary and other domestic duties which will be re- quired of one who doubtless expects to some day occupy the exalted position of wife and mother. Doubtless 1t is a good thing for girls to learn to swim, for emergencies sometimes arise when such an accomplishment may be of vii tai importance. but we rather think some of the other qualifications will stand above that of swimming in the estimation of most people. Still, we admit that our New Hampshire friends are not to blame for boosting their champion.
