pennSylYania's Third Party

The uprising against the republican ma chine in Pennsylvania is formidable, and the uprising extends really to both or the old parties The third party is to be called the Keystone party and the mem bers of 1t will oppose with equal vigor both of the old parties-both Candidate Grim of the democratic party and Candi- date Tener. who pitched baseball before he became a Penrose politician.
 The Keystone party is made up of former democrats as well ss former republicans and it has put in nomina- ton for governor. William H. Berry, who carried the state when he ran as a democrat for state treasurer. He did more than any other man to ex- pose the capitol building frauds. D. Clarence Gibboney, the nominee for lieutenant governor, Is strong in Phil adelphia.
 Altogether the new party starts out with genuine enthusiasm, but it will hardly score a victory when election day rolls round.

Dogs In Georgia

In Georgia there are 146 counties, and in Georgia, too. all dogs are listed for taxation purposes The returns are com ing in and already 4o,217 dogs have been listed in A counties. As the big counties have not reported their dogs, it is believed that an average of 1000 dogs to county will yet be listed. In other words. Geor- gia will have 14s.ooo listed dogs
 trouble any Georgian to tell what good 14e,ooo dogs do in his state It would more than trouble him if he were required to show any good in the majority of them ever and above their keep.
 But from time out of mind dogs have been the pets and the pride of the south. to the county as Georgia has-possibly more, for our counties are larger Jeffer- son county probably has 10000 dogs. in stead of 1000. But dogs go untaxed in this state, and this Is a mistake. Every dog should be taxed The higher the tax the fewer the dogs, and perhaps wise old Georgia is trying to get rid of her dogs by the taxation route.

MODEST HEROES

From the New York Telegram.
 It is always a pleasant task to say complimentary things about the rank and file of the citys servitors, and right now a couple of gallant but exceedingly mod est members of the police department claim attention.
 Policeman Geoghegan, "Old Pop as he is familiarly called. with stripes on his arm indicating 25 years service. plunged into Little Hell Gate, fully uniformed, and after 0D-ninute struggle rescued a girl baby that was being swept away. He was much embarrassed by the attentions of an admiring crowd and hurried on to change his clothing with the simple comment "It might have been kid of my own.''
 East One Hundred and Seventy eighth street lays claim to a hero in the per- son of Policeman Thomas J. McMapus. who, discovering fire at early morning, started in at once carrying children from the burning building to safety. He mod estly reported at the station that he had rescued three children, but the ten ants toll a different story and say Mo- Manus aroused and carried out IS. Who says there's nothing in the papers these days?

From the Washington Post.
 I've had all the sunny Spain that I want for a long time," asserted V. W. Fosdick, of Boston, at the New Will lard.
 Its sunny all right. and the climate is delightful. but the flies and mos auitoes were too much for me. Spain has New Jersey beaten for mosquitoes and a picnic dinner for flies. And in all my trip I didn't see single door or window screen. How the Spaniard manages to take his traditional siesta
 is more than I can understand. l found it hard work to get any sleep, even when I was tired.
 The only protection from flies is gained by the use of fly killers. A fly killer is made of a bunch of narrow strips of paper attached to a. bamboo stick. You have seen the same kind in farmhouses before mosquito netting came into general use in this country. It seems to me that a man with a little capital could make some money if he would go into the window screen busi- ness in a Spanish city. It might take some time to work up trade, ass the people don't know anything about such convenience but there is certainly fine field When some one does this and persuades Spain to keep the files and mosquitoes out of the houses I may take another trip over there. But not before

The National Guard

The organized militia, known as the national guard, is becoming more eff cient every year and this efficiency is due in great measure to the closer rela- ton of the guard to the regular army. This close touch of the regulars with the citizen soldiery is felt throughout the year, but it is more especially in evidence at the summer encampments
 Twenty-Five years ago the national guard was organized in few of the states. but there was only the slightest connection between the state troops and the war department. As a result disci- pline of the volunteers was very poor But the unpreparedness of the militia in 1898, when the United States declared war againsEspain, emphasized the need of just such improvement as we observe today.
 All right-minded men abhor war. Peace sentiment is growing everywhere, and the day will come when all disputes be- tween nations will be settled by arbitra- ton. But so long as governments feel called upon to maintain military estab- lishments the volunteers in a republic like ours cannot be too highly organ ized.
 It is a noteworthy fact that Alabama outranks all the other southern states in the numerical strength of it's national guard. It has upwards of 5000 enlisted men. Virginia has only about eSoo; Geor- gia about 2so0 and Texas about 24oo.

JNO. M. HARKINS. Anniston, July 2s, 1910.

The Rev George Eaves, D. D., is the tional church, Birmingham, and while he has been a resident of this city only three years he has obtained a position of marked influence in the religious life of the community And is recognized by all classes as a leader in the broad ethi- cal field He is the secretary of the Pastors Union.
 Dr. Eaves was born and educated in England being a native of Shakes peare's town, Stratford-upof-A He attended the King Edwird VI. grammar school-the same school in which Shakes peare had been a pupil. On leaving the grammar school young Eaves went to Birmingham. England, where he worked in a counting roo muntil he was almost grown After being well grounded In the rudiments of business he left that city and entered rBistol University-C Col lege and while taking his academic course he was also a student in the Baptist, Seminary at Bristol. After grad uation at Bristol Dr. Eaves went as a missionary to Japan ana was enedseu III that work about five years.
 In 1889 he came to the United States He was stationed for several years In Denver and was at one time acting pas tor of the First Congregational church in that city. From Denver he moved to Dallas. Texas. where he was in charge of a Congregational church five years. From Dallas he was called to the pas torate of Pigram church here.
 Dr. Eaves Is a regular contributor to The Age-Herald.

Counting lhe School Children

In every school district In this state a census of school children must be taken this month and the state department ot education hopes all padding will in the present census be eliminated Each coun- ty superintendent is required to file with the state department lists by districts not later than August 20
 It is regrettable that the federal census counts all children between the ages of 6 and 20. while the state census numbers all between the ages of and 21. If the school ages of both nation and state agreed, the one would be once in ten years check upon and guide for the other. A comparison of the two censuses taken this year will. however, be inter- esting and when both are before the peo- pie it will not be difficult to determine wehtfier the children of school age in this state exceed or fall below 100000 There should be no material difference between the two eensuses, for each covers IA years in childs life.

s---------.'-- ROBINSON CRUsOE

From the Westminster Gazette.
 The promised sale In London of copy of Robinson Crusoe,' as first published in what would now be termed feuilleton form, is rendered the more interesting nouncement in it that the editor be- leves the thing to be just a history of fact; neither is there any appearance Of fiction in it' Common knowledge, of course. has it that Defoe founded his immortal narrative upon the adventures of Alexander Selkirk, who had been shipwrecked alone on the island of Juan Fernandez. As a good journalist, how ever, 1t must have gone to his heart that the earliest account of these adventures was given to the public for nothing, it having been advertised in the London newspapers seven years before the be- getting of Robinson Crusoe" that "an
 account of the man that lived four years and five months on the uninhabit- ed island of John Fammando may be read gratis at Elford's coffee house in George Yard, Lombard street, where are sold neat Barcelona, Portugal, se- vile, and plain Spanish snuff; also true Epson waters and salts.' But speedily thereafter Bernard Lintot, we'll known to all students of the period of Pope, published at a reasonable price, "a full account of Alexander Salcraig's manner of living alone on an island," and Defoe doubtless had both these versions be- fore him at the time he turned Alex ander Sellxirk into Robinson kreutz- naer, by the usual corruption of words in England now called Crusoe.'

Six Months' Production of Pig Iron

In the first six months of the calendar year Alabama produced 1o12,545 tons of pig iron-a record production The near est approach to this was in the second half of 1909. when ss2, ,sa9 tons were pro- duced At the beginning of the six
 months % furnaces were in blast in this district and at the close of the period 24 were producing pig iron. Alabama was outranked in the six months period by Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. and also by New York. although the two were neck and neck New Yorks production was 1,o17, ,s51 tons, or 5.4os more tons in six months than this district turned out
 The record annual production of this district was that of 1909, when 17ss,6 tons were produced. And this will per- faps stand as the maximum output of the district a year longer if the present tendencies toward restriction in output be maintained to the end of the year. A production of S00,o0o tons in the second half of the current year would, however, give us new record. and if the demand warrants such a production the furnaces of this dtsirtcit are ready to furnish it.

AMERICAS DRAMATIC POET

From the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
 This country has been reproached by one of its own daughters because we have had no Mime. De Stael, nor Mime, De sevigne, nor George Sand. nor George Eliot nor Elizabeth Browning, nor Jane Austen, nor Charlotte Bronte.' Though the facts are as stated, they fail to justify tho reproach. The woman named were the towering of more than 1000 years of culture, whereas in America the ccrditions of culture for the pro duction of such exceptional women have existed only for century or so.
 Nevertheless. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Josephine Preston Peabody are among America s literary women who are the pledge for It's future Austens and Brontes, Brownings and Eliots. The governors of the Shakespeare theatre at Stratford, England. offered $l500 for the best play. preferably a poetic and ro- mantle piece, and the living American author. whose husband Is Lionel Marks, won over 3l4 competitors from every quarter of the globe
 This, 1t is respectfully submitted, is no small success, especially when if Is remembered that cultured Europe competed with youthful America. The play is called "The Piper" and deals with the quaint. medieval, delightful leg end of the pied piper of Hamelin. in Ger many, whose magic music lured the chill dren into Pennsylvania through noun tajns cleft by black art.
 r. devoted student of poetry and her lit- erary studies and successes recall those Qt Mrs. Browning and have been in- dorsed by critics as severe as Dobson, Gosse, scudder. Stedman and Stoddard. It is claimed that "The Piper" ranks Mrs. Marks with dAnnunzio. Ibser. Maeterlinck and Rostand as a dramatist. Should time approve this claim American women can smile at the reproach that provoked this editorial

Car Repair Graft on the Illinois Central

The story of graft told in a hearing before a master in chancery in Chi cago is astonishing in even these days of robberies of all sorts It appears that the Illinois Central company was pairing of freight cars by contract. Tho present suit Is against the Memphis Car company which repaired S117 freight cars for which it was paid s93s.39e. and of which amount $500. 1000. 1t Is claimed, was fraudulent.
 The evidence of Car Inspector Sims shows that some of the officials of the railroad company winked at all sorts of fraudulent practices by which the railroad became the victim of wholesale robbery. Freight cars. 1t is alleged were dismantled to procure material for the Memphis Car company and then the same cars were repaired at the expense of the railroad. Parts were taken freely from Illinois Cen tral cars to be used in cars in bad order, and the railroad paid for the stolen parts. The replacing of the stolen parts in good order cars was also paid for by the railroad. All bills, t 1t Is alleged. were padded 40 per cent. The brakes of all cars that came in were repaired whether they needed re- pairs or not. A uniform charge for paint was made far in- excess of what was used. Sims went over to the rail- road side. and the evidence he fur nishes convicts the entire crowd of contract repairers of many fraudulent practices.
 These frauds went on three years until the railroad company had been defrauded in Chicago and in Memphis 6{ about si.5oo.ooo. It seems incredible that these frauds could have been sys, aonatieally conducted without the con.

"BoB" WOULD

From Clips.
 When "Fiddling Bob' Taylor was three times governor of Tennessee he was known as the "Pardonins Cover nor" On his rounds in Washington or in the Senate chamber he has a kind ly look, and his appearance is horne out by the fact that he pardoned more men and boys, and turned them out of the penitentiary than any other governor the state ever had, says the Wash iagton Times. An instance of his fame among his own people because of this course of conduct Is we'll illustrated by a story told by an old man who had been given a pardon by Taylor. The ex-convict was at religious revival meeting in the mountains of the state, and. seated far back in the church, he was besought to go to the front and acknowledge his allegiance to God. You must do 1t tonight" said his re- ligious friend. who leaned over and whispered to him while tho services were in progress. The old man was vlsibly affected.

GRAFT IN PARIS THEATRES

Alan Dale in New York American. THE programme in Paris theatre
 happens twice. You can buy two
 \ kinds of programme, one official and one nonofficial. The latter Is quite cheap. and is sold in front of the play house, on the street. You get one for 6 cents, at your own risk! It may refer to an old cast that is no longer cur rent It may be correct! You are (generally when you have bought one). Inside the theatre the official programme Is sold. It costs 10 cents. If you give the progra nme seller 10 cents he looks at you with venom, hatred and contempt in his eye. He asks for a tip. What for? You ask, what for? Oh, idiot! He wants tip; that is why he asks for it. And you give him one Oh, you do. You curse him, and you give him tip.
 Up the dirty stairs go you, into dingy corridor. where a row of pegs q don't care if it comes out "pigs') meets your eye. These are guarded by an aw- ful old woman, generally with the dawn of mustache on her upper lip. CThese old girls are never clean-shayenD Per- haps you are not wearing an overcoat. It Is dangerous to wear an overcoat at a theatre in Paris, as 1t is such a trouble to dispose of it. Freeze rather than wear an overcoat.
 She spies your cane and pounces on 1t. Oh. you must leave 1t with her. Some times she says it is obligatory She doesn't ask for your shoes or socks, but she insists upon your cane and hat. Never try to resist her; be thankful that you are allowed to keep your trousers on. You give her few coppers; 1t is not enough She tells you the least you may give. with an expectant face that you simply long to smash. Then she let's you go.
 Another old girl-also with mustache lis now at your service. Where is your seat? She will show you, but you will remember her. Is 1t not so. monsieur?
