Lame Ducks In WaShington

Tn these post-election days the public hears much about lame ducks and espe- cially about Lame Duck Alley. Few of the general public, however, know where 1t really is. All Washingtonians do. It i5 the corridor in the White House offices where the winged meet to show their wounds and to hope that something will be done for them.
 Instead of seeking outdoor relief they seek appointment to office, no matter what. They consider themselves real, statesmen. capable of filling any office bassador. They cannot bear the thought of going to work to earn living and they look to a compassionate President very much as cold vituals are flung to Q tramp. An office as a stop-gap Is what the lame duck needs until he can again secure nomination to seat in Con gress.
 To say that this scheme of rendering soft berths to injured statesmen con duces to efficiency in the public service m one for a momeHt believes. It may be charity to those prostrated by a popu- lar storm but it does not spell efficiency. It does lead an officeholder to believe that he was born to be an officeholder all his days. and that is about all it does

Ten Members of Congress

Including delegates from the territories there are now 39S members of the House Of Representative. In order to save the states that have grown slowly from losses in representation the census committee las practically decided to present an ap- portionment bill based on a unit of 21O. GOO. Under this plan the size of the House would be increased to about 443 members
 Alabama would have an unrepresented faction of about SS.Oo0, or the population of an average county. but that fraction in 1920, making Il in all Jefferson coun- ty will have a surplus of nearly 17,oo0 people beyond the basis named in MT. Crumpacker's committee. and if the coun- ty is to remain intack in 1920 1t will have to grow fast enough to secure two mem bers of Congress. A growth of about 60 per cent would suffice, and natural gas would give the county that percentage of increase.
 The population figures for the entire country presented this morning show that already the United States stands first among highly civilized communities in population. This state with ten members of Congress will be a prosperous part of this fine country, and Alabama is proud of her imperial county in the min oral district which will become a con gressional district in, by and of itself.

Santa Claus Banner Year

The American consul at Nuremburg, Germany, reports that the shipments of toys from that great toy-manufacturing center has been 15 per cent larger than in any previous year. The toy makers of Nuremburg have pocketed this year B. 2eo,0OO of American money. Uncle Sam heartlessly collected 95 per cent on these tovs for the children, or about s7700Oo, and the freight charges and retailers profits will increase the bill, it is esti- mated to ss,Ooo.o0o. Christmas comes but once a year, and no one will object to the bill. This bill is for Nuremburg toys only. Many toys are made in this country, and the total is sum that no other country will approach. Santa is to create a big Christmas in this happy land and all are glad of it.
 The only regret is that Santa Claus is compelled to discriminate when he fills stockings Perhaps the laws will compel an equal distribution as we approach the millennium. In the meanwhile every good citizen should do his best to make gool the defects in the law.

Mansion for Governor

'No state in the south Is better able to provide its governor with an official residence than Alabama" said an old democrat. "and I trust something will come of the discussion now going on through the newspapers.
 "When I came to Alabama to i've 12 years ago the governors salary was only $S00O a year. That struck me as being entirely too small, and was glad when the executives pay was fn- creased to s50oo.
 s"Now, do not agree with those who say that a $2O.000 or s25,000 house would be ample for $5o00-a-ye gov ernor. and that a mansion costing S1o0, 900, which some men propose, would be out of all proportion. Well, s5O.oOO would build quite a stately dwelling, but in view of the dignity Of the goverporship think Alabama should erect a mansion to cost about
 s75,O00 It would require $30.000 to
 s35,O00 to furnish such house. Then for the stables. greenhouse, etc., $10,-
 900 would be needed. Outside of the question of site, the legislature should appropriate fully S125,000 for an ex- ecutive mansion. In several states the governor is not only provided with a handsome residence but with light. fuel, water. O coachman, a florist, and household servants. With such extras paid for by the state a governor, even with considerable family could come very near making both ends meet on 5000. But there Is scarcely any man big enough to be governor who has not some private means. His salary, supplemented by thousand or two from his private income. would enable him to pull through even In fine h. house and he would do it without com plaining. Let the Alabama legislature go ahead and erect mansion worthy of this egreat state"

 It appears that at rehearsal a wonder full climax had been reached, which was to be heightened by the effective use of the usual thunder and lightning. The stage carpenter was given the order. The works vele spoken, and instantly noise which resembled succession of pistol shots was heard off the wings eWhat on earth are you doing, men?" shouted Sir Henry. rushing behind the scenes. Do you call that thunder? It's not bit like it

No Tory Landslide This Year

The predicted revolt against the far- reaching proposition concerning the veto powers of the house of lords has not materialized, and the elections have pro- ceeded along party lines with few changes, and those about equally di- vided between the friends and opponents of the Asquith ministry. The premier will go back sustained by a popular indorse- ment of his constitutional policy. He will be told by the people to press his veto bill until 1t becomes law.
 This veto bill takes away all power of the house of lords over a money bill, and it enables the house of commons to override in the course of two years any veto by the lords of any other bill.
 The liberals will come back with prac- tically an undiminished majority, anu they will attempt to pass the veto bill. And then will arise question as to what guarantee the premier received from the King that would enable him to turn the will of the people into law. All eleventh hour or deathbed promises of re- forming the house of lords have been re- ! jected by the people, and Premier As duith has but one course before him he must pass the veto bill To do this he may need enough new liberal peers to outvote the standpatters in that body. I1e must either get them, or else revolution appears on the horizon. The will of the people has been ascertaned. They have voted that the veto bill must be passed and neither the ming nor the lords dare stand in the way. King George certain ly will not. It is, therefore, safe to say that either the lords will accept the veto bill or else that body will be packed with liberal peers even if 300 or 400 have to be appointed. If neither contingency takes place a deadlock would ensue, involving another election and much agitation and confusion.
 The time has come to take away the power of the lords. and Asquith and Lloyd-George and Winston Churchill stand ready to head the movement that involves a momentous but necessary change in the upper house.
 Whn the veto power of the lords is taken away, home rule and many social changes will follow and England will then begin to live up with the United States as democratic country. Caste and caste rule would be abolished This would occur in good order and in due time, for the true Briton is not volatile. He goes slow but he generally arrives at q logical limit

Alabama Remains the Eighteenth State

Fuller reports from the census bureau show that Alabama has not gained or lost a point in standing. In the list of the states she is still No IS, place she gained ten years ago, and she must serve in that place until 1920 at least. The eighteenth place in a union consisting of 46 states is very fair position. Two more states will soon be added without disturbing Alabamas standing.
 Alabama outnumbers this year Virginia, tut this state is in turn outnumbered by California. All of the Pacific states have grown rapidly, and California now holds more people than Alabama. Alabama's rank in 1920 will doubtless be governed by the populations s Tennessee and Min nesota. Tennessee is now the seventeenth state, her population being 2,1S4,7Ss. Min nesota is the nineteenth state, her pop ulation being 2,075,70S. The population of Alabama, the eighteenth state, is 2'1SS,- Oss.
 The states that outrank Alabama are in order New York, Pennsylvania, H. nnois. Ohio. Texas, Massachusetts. Mis- sourl, Michigan, Indiana, New Jersey Georgia. Iowa, Kentucky, Wisconsin, North carolina, California. Tennessee and Alabama. This state is securely placed in the 2oeo,0oo class, and she is there to

"HAPPY HE.

From Robert Jones ''Ultmum Vale of Third Book of Airs" 1908. Happy he
 Who, to sweet home retired, Suns glory so admired, And to himself lives free, Whilst he who strives with pride to climb
 the skies Falls down with foul disgrace before he
 rise. Let who will
 The active life commend And all his travels bend Earth with his fame to fill; Such fame, so forced, at last dies with
 dis death, Which life maintained by others idle
 breath. My delights
 To dearest home confined, Shall there make good my mind, Not awed with Fortunes spites; High trees, heaven blasts, wind shake
 and honors fell, When lowiy plants long time in safety
 dwell. All I can,
 My worldly strife shall be, They one day say of me; '.fIe died good old man." On his sad soul heavy burden lies Who, known to all, unknown to himself,
 dies.

The south's Prosperity

.'The south as whole is enjoying higher degree of prosperity today than I have ever known, and I have visited this section frequently during the past 15 years" said R. V. Moves of New York. ''The south needs immigration. but notwithstanding the comparatively slow increase in population in the agricultural districts, and the actual loss in some counties, marked improvement has been made in tillng the soil, and the farmers as class are far more prosperous now than they were when I was last in the south, about three years ago.
 Statistics are at hand to show that the wealth of the cotton states is in creasing steadily, and diversified farming accounts in very large measure for this gain. The south, too, Is coming forward industrially at satisfactory rate. While

When his right was challenged he declared that he was the logical candidate, the friend of the masses, and the classes were friends Of his. But Miss Democracy decided that he would have to wait for two years to see what he could do with democratic legislature, so Harmon climbed down.
 'Dix was the next aspirant for favor claiming his seat by virtue of a ticket bearing an Q. K by Charles F. Murphy, and because of his versatility, but Miss Democracy insisted that the trouble with the democratic party for. the past 25 years was that it had been too damned versatile and Dix was thrown off.
