From the Washington Post
Seward Churchyard Simons of Pasa-
dena, Cal, bids fair to find niche in
the temple of fame beside that Lord Pc
ire, who, by a greatly daring act in the
days of good Queen Anne, gave occa-
sion to the composition of Pope's mint
able mock-heroic poem, 1.-The Rape of
the Lock-
Lord Petre had long coveted the pos
session of one or two lovely ringlets which
graced the couture of Miss Arabella Fer
NOR. Vainly, however, did he plead for
the gift; the lady was as adamant on
tie subject of curls. The bold baron
vas equally determined on his side:
Resolv'd to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray.
The opportune production of a pair of
scissors by another lady during a heavy
bout of coffee drinking gave him the
needed weapon, and as Miss Fermor-

effecting a reconciliation.
Mr.. Simons is no lordling. no court gal

What is now wanted to make the paral-
lel perfect is that some Concealed poet
should come forward. and, by deli
cately spiced ode or madrigal, pour sucn
balm into the heart of the tress-bereaved
maiden as will induce her to withdraw
the prosecution and set free the impul-
siye swain. That way, for all concerned,
glory lies. Where is the poet who will
embrace the golden opportunity, and

SHOCKING
n the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
All Waukesha, Wis, is INDUCING in one
blood-red blush. The whole town is ''in
bad so to speak, with its morals gone
wrong and no way under the sun or I'M
der the law to revise them. A mineral
water concern out there, with a sinful
desire to attract attention, posted beau
tiful billboard picture of a lady who
really, to put it plainly, needed the earn
est and instant attention OF a modiste
The city council at once made demand
that the lady either give an order to
her dressmaker or else get outside the
corporate limits of Waukesha. The pres
ident of the mineral water company was
cited to appear and "show cause" He
Gid so. He also showed that the lady
OF bewitchng smile and no clothes was
simply a Photographic reproduction, bor-
rowed from the Great Seal of the city of
Waukesha. This Great Seal is hung in
every saloon that has license and in
places not so lax, but nobody thought
of questioning the ladys modesty until
she began to boost mineral water The
"orys" profess to see in this an attempt
to discredt temperance drinks. and the
council is not saying what it sees. In
fact the council has seen too much Of
the lady already, and would like to close
the incident.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES


81 am not a prohibitionist for the
larger towns" said a citizen who has
held high office. and who is known
for his conservativeness. Il do not be-
lieve the public is ready for prohibition
in the larger cities. l believe | would in
hntely prefer. however. present eondi-
tons in Birmingham as bad as they are,
to the conditions we ran away from.
Il think in so years or less time we
will look back upon the era of the IL
censed saloon with horror. A dispensary
in this city would make million dollars
year, which could be used to build a
great system of public highways, to add
to our-public school facilities and to the
strength and number of@our public teach
ers. With this money we could beautify
our public parks: we could pave the city 5
Streets and, particularly, would We be
able to get rid of the cobble stones in the
main thoroughfare and replace them with
less noisy and less filthy covering.
I'VE could with this dispensary money
reduce city taxes and licenses, perhaps
wipe them out. In a few years we could
even pay Off our public debt. All the
while we could be allowing those parties
who want whisky. and will have whisky,
the privilege of purchasing it legally
which, in my opinion, will hardly increase
the present consumption. l would be
willing even to license restaurants and
cafes to sell light wines and beer.
would not object even to the dispensary
selling beer by the glass, or even beer
gardens l am inclined to think that beer
and light wine make, in the end, for tenn
perance.
Il note what has been said about graft
in dispensaries. The state of Alak anna
trusts many men to collect its licenses
and its taxes and does not abolish the
probate judges office because, now and
then, man may rob the state or county.
And yet my observation teaches me that
these thieves in public office are very
rare indeed l think it will be found, II
one keeps UP with the reports of the pub
lie examiners made to the governor thai
it is a rare thing that one of these Of
fcers is found delinquent. The argument
that a dispensary will rob the county or
the state is not worth any consideration
at ALL"

Macon, Ca, as postmaster TO become the
director of posts of the United States.
Mr.. President, when we have arrived at
the point where merit is recognized in
this great business operation we will have
a postal system that will give value. re-
eelved for all invested in it and not be-

A native is not sought for railroad agent
or telegraph manager, and there is no
reason, says Mr.. Carter why a post
master should be to the manner born.
Mr.. Roosevelt began the reform by put
ting 15.00o of the 81 eco fourth-class post
masters under the operation of the merit
system, and if the President and Post
master General Hitchcock were not
watching so keenly 1872 they would ex-
tend President Roosevelt's executive
they need the postmasters in their scheme
for corralling delegates, and no extension
eff the merit system at their hands need
be expected. 1t is the political machine
that stands in Mr.. Carter's way, and
nothing else.

Contending for the Glidden Trophy

On Tuesday next between so and 70 rae
ing motors will be started in Cincinnati
as contestants for the Glidden and the
Chicago trophies. After passing through
10 states, touching at Sheffield in this
state and going west as far as Dallas,
they will enter Chicago June 30 The dis
lance to be covered is 2S51 miles. It is
emphatically an endurance test. A Sum
day will be spent in Kansas City and no
ground will be covered on that day. In
10 travelling days distance of 2S51 miles
is to be traversed, or nearly 800 miles a
day. 1t is plain that many a mile must
be done at the rate of 50 miles an hour
in order to afford time for stoppages on
various accounts.
The cars are to be ferried across the
Mississippi on lumber barges near Helena,
Ark. and they will be carried across the
White river at Clarendon on a ferry boat,
the Red river on a railroad bridge by per-
mission of the Rock Island railroad, and
the South Canadian river on highway
bridge.
This will be the fourth Glidden tour,
and every machine that completes it in
good condition will be voted trustworthy
under strenuous circumstances. More cars
will be started next Tuesday than were
started in any one of the three previous
contests conducted by the American Au-
tomobile association. These cars will be
due in Sheffield June II, and from that
point they will turn westward toward
Corinth and Memphis. Sheffield will well
come the Glidden contestants on the night
of June 16. a

Insurance At Home and Abroad

Before it adjourned the New York leg
on new life insurance risks which a
New York company may take on in any
one year. This limitation was one of
the so-called reforms that grew out of
the insurance investigation conducted by
Governor Hughes. The repeal of the lin
itation has, however, received Governor
Hughes sanction, who was led to con-
slider this particular reform which he
had devised unnecessary and unwise.
The New York life companies have
demonstrated against the limit imposed
They have shown that while they were
subjected to various restrictions outside
companies were not, and the latter pros
pered and waxed fat because of the limit
OF the business they might do. Here
after in New York life insurance COM

its solicitors can pick up.
This means that home insurance in Ala
bama and other southern states will here
after have to meet competition of the
keenest sort from New York. 1t will
be claimed that'the great New York COM
panies are alone strong and permanent
the inference being that the local state
companies are not. But this is not true
The home companies are a rule strong
and well managed, and every year adds
TO their strength. Those who desire tc
spend their money at home should not
overlook the home insurance companies

5000 MAN BIRDS

From the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.
More astonishing than the wide discus
sion of the flight of Curtiss as indicating
the interest in aviation Is the statement
of Thomas w. Benois, manager of local
aeronautic supply company. that his frm
is In touch with 5000 persons who are en-
gagged in building aeroplanes. The num-
ber Mr. Benoist says, is constantly in
creasing.
The principles Of aeroplane construction
are no secret. They have been explained
and discussed In newspapers, and more
elaboratly in both popular and technical
magazines. With this information at
hand the curious and inventive American
mind is at work and deft American hands
are busy In 5000 sheds, barns and back
yards are 5000 frames growing into aero
planes Each differs from the other
Each builder in addition to what he has
learned from others has applied some
idea of his own.
In multiplicity of counsel there is wis
dom. Can we doubt that the national
genius which brought the automobile
from an experimental stage to perfection
in less than ten years-which has brought
aviation from the first Wright glider to
the marvellous achievements of the past
year in seven years, will falter now? II
1900 men are trying, how long will 1t be
before 1900 are flying?

What the Canal Means to the South

| Few in the south appreciate what the
= bpening of the Panama canal in 1915
means to this section of the country.
The far south and the far east contain
900 of people. These people are in
gulf ports will have the first call upon
the trade of this vast number of people.
This is why the great middle west in
fact all parts of the country, have been
pushing and are still pushing rail extern
sions to gulf ports.
If Chicagoecan save freight charges
By shipping goods via the gulf ports
1t will assuredly do it. But aside from
an increase of transportation business
ir the south, southern products will be
benefted The opening of the canal will
reduce the distance from New Orleans or
Mobile to Hong Kong to $500 miles. The
distance now is 1850 miles. This suffl-
GENTLY illustrate the change, although
the access to the west coast of South
America will be even more marked. New
Orleans now exces in exports either
Philadelphia or Boston. 1t is plain that
the south will have when the canal is
tional trade in South America and in
the Orient.
The real question is not the souths
opportunity but the south's capacity to
meet this opportunity. This district has
its share of the new burden to say the
least for all of the 5o0000,0oo of people
In South America and the Orient are
consumers of iron, steel, coal, coke and
the various forms of merchantabe goods
made from these natural products. This
district must get ready TO use an Open
Warrior, and to extend and to diversity
its industries. The entire south should
promote to the utmost it's cotton mill
capacity. The south cannot monopolize
the trade of the vast Pacific ocean, but it
can and assuredly will share in that trade
because the advantages of transporta-
ton will be in its favor as soon as the
canal is opened.

Oil, Gas and Coal In District

A great deal of deep boring into the
earth will be done in this district in the
next u months, and 1t will not be Bit
strange If some of the drills do pene-
trate oil-bearing sandstone The people
of Thorsby are confident of success in
that direction The success already
achieved at Fayette will certainly lead to
careful exploration by the drillers of
our underlying strata, and If we have
oil or gas or both they will be brought
to the surface for Industrial and domes-
tic uses.
The use of natural gas as fuel is well
known 1t has no superior as fuel in
some respects. and all cities welcome it
as means of both economy and develop
ment.
Oil, too, is an excellent fuel 1t is used
in large number of locomotives in the
southwest and California and the Brit
ish naval authorities have adopted 1t as
of demonstrated Superiority to coal, and
are using It on many great war vessels
The United States navy is conducting a
series of experiments. The high-grade
merchant vessels, especially the turbine
steamers. are beginning to prefer oil to
coal
Oil costs more than coal, but the saving
in space and in handling brings the cost
to parity. A ton of oil produces more
heat than ton of coal Probably all
navies would use oil were it not for the
fact that full coal bunKers protect the
vitals of a ship from hostile shells.
In this district we need both oil and
gas in order to complete our fuel equip
ment, and the chances are very good that
we will secure both. The effort at Thors-
by will be watched with interest, as will
the continued gas development in Fayette
county.
