Silutary Effect

Alabana's g franchise law, levying a spe- cial tax on foreign corporations, has come to naught. The decision handed down in the United states supreme court yesterday in favor of certain railroads in their suits to recover taxes paid to eoun- ties in Alabama under that act will 50 far toward counteracting the effects of our demogogic politics and our radical leg islation of the past few years.
 The attitude of President Roosevelt toward the trusts was responsible in large measure for the disastrous panic of 1907, but the drastic legislation of three southern states-Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina-contributed their share to the trouble. The anti-railroad agte- tion and the laws that grew out of that agitation in Alabama and other southern states, made business depres- sion in this part of the country psrticu iarly acute while the panic lasted; and not until the people began to turn away from radicalism and rebuke radical ad- ministration was there anything like a restoration of confidence in the south.
 The tendency throughout the United States is now toward conservatism and especially is this true in Alabama This state, 1t is believed. has seen the last of legislation antagonstic to capital. The decision of the supreme court of the United States yesterday coming as it does close upon a sweeping victory at the polls over fanatics and demogogues and in prospect of another large victory at the polls which will mean the re- turn of Alabamas conservative element to power is doubly assuring. It will give, indeed, a mighty uplift 10 business conditions here and will prove to be a splendid advertisement for this rich bur, of late, unhappy commonwealth.

American Coffee Toners

The people of Great Britain are tea drinkers, but no country equals America in coffee drinking. Our coffee importa- tions are increased faster than our in- crease in population justifies. The truth is, we are drinking more coffee per capita each year Last pear our per capita con- sumption rose to 1l.74 pounds. all babies included
 A consumption that now exceeds mil lion pounds a year needs investigation or at any rate free discussion. Many hold that one cup of coffee day is enough. The physicians are beginning to trace cases of shattered nerves to an excess of coffee drinking. Some persons lit should be remembered, can become in- toxicated by drinking coffee. Some can. not. But while the general tendency in this country is to increase the use oi coffee it is plain there are some whc

Spring Outlook for Wheat

President Winchell of the Frisco rail- road says less wheat will be winter killed than usual-less than was killed last year when large crop was matured and harvested
 in two decades throughout the winter wheat belt, but while the reports are somewhat conflicting from the great sur plus winter wheat states, yet the weight of reports is to the effect that heavy and numerous snowfalls have prevented low temperatures from doing serious in- jury to the crop.
 This is the time of the year in which anxiety over the outlook of the growing crop is felt, and discordant reports almost Invariably come in. All localities do not fare alike in severe weather, and no doubt we shall receive many statements con- cern1ng lnJufleS 10 the crop.

LoNDoN's MOTOR 'BUssEs.

From the New York Evening Post.
 In a report made to the board of trade Sir Herbert Jekyll states that London's s motor buses killed no less than 60 per- sons in 1908, while the horse omnibuses put the new vehicles in commission. They were hastily built. but kept in poor re- pair, badly driven, and quickly began to break up. Naturally. there was a rapid decrease in the oversupply, and the cost, the expectation of new regulations, and a reaction in favor of the horse bus all acteds as a check. Now the new rules prescribing weight and speed are in force, and they make new construction more difficult. The result is that the horse is coming back into at least the crowded districts, while the motor is in great favor in the suburbs. New York strap hangers will be envious when they hear buses, which are generally not more than 60 per cent full at crowded traf- fic point, near the British Museum. The taxicab is, however, achieving complete victory over the London hanson. The horse our-wheeler," curiously enough
 holds its own, but the surviving hansoms
 are kept in service more by sentiment than anything else, the taxis being cheap
 CT for short trips, and not much dearel
 for long. As for tramways, Sir Herbert Jekyll believes that the future lies with the motor bus, rather than with the
 street car. which has never appealed tc London favor.

South Carolina RatiheS Income Tax

gouth Carolina takes third place in the ratification of the constitutional amend ment permitting congress to levy an in come tax without apportionment among the several states. The ratifying states are now Alabama, Kentucky and South Carolina.
 None of the amendments to the con otitution were speedily ratified, and the original constitution was held three years in suspense, awaiting ratification by the thirteen original states. It has taken from three to five years to secure the ratification of an amendment The states act upon them in leisurely manner and 10 state seemingly cares when they are psoclaimed as parts of the constitution in full force and effect.

TEXAS LEADS
From the Austin Statesman.

rom lne Auslln statesman.
 Says the Birmingham Age-Herald:
 Texas is leading all the other states of the south in the matter of good roads. Since last March twenty-four counties in that state voted upon bond issues for road building, and twenty voted favorably and four unfavorably About s5.ooo,0oo in bonds were voted and the bonds have been issued and marketed All the other southern states are follow ing in the footsteps of Texas except Kentucky, Arkansas and South Carolina. In Alabama bonds for road building have been issued to the extent of Ss50,00o''
 Put your ear close to the ground and you will find that it listens like Texas had a mission to lead in the grand march of improved highways, better schools, higher education, deep waterways trans portation facilities, law enforcement, en- frightened agricultural methods. increased production and everything that makes for the material betterment and moral uplif' of humanity and the higher development of state and nation.
 Alabama's senator, though a veteran in years and service to his people, has all the vigor of his youth in his progress siveness. His amendment to the sgri- cultural bill appropriatng s5oO,0o0 for the improvement of the condition of roads on which rural free delivery has been estab- lished will receive the support of every Texas representative. While this appro- priation will carry only about $10,0O0 to a state, but even this amount used in CO operation with the state would be very helpful. If this bill should become a law it will be the initiative step in fed eral appropriations for good road build. ing and give wanted impetus to state activity along the same line which might prove the beginning of national move. ment, and Texas will continue to keeI her place at the head of the column, fol under the orliflamme of progress.

Literature and Dramatic Art in Butte

Miss Mary MeLane's diary focused the attention of critics on Butte, Mont, but that incident, partly literary and partly of a social nature, occurred several years ago. and Butte had to some extent lost rank as a center of culture. Miss Mary McLane's pen has been busy, but her writings have not been so exciting as was her first volume.
 But Butte is again in the spotlight, placed there, not by Miss Mary, but by the towns redoubtable dramatic critics. These critics rose up in body to pro- nounee MT. Warfield, his company and his play. "The Music Master very poor. They say that David Warfeld has been enjoying prosperity and public favor to which he has had no just claim.
 The courage of the critics of~Butte is unmistakable. They had their convie- tions and they proposed to give them ex- pression, regardless of the favor with which the play had been received in the large cities of the country. Butte has no million of people, but it has clear noun tain air which enables it's dramatic re- porters to see things and persons on the stage clearly. and their clearness of vision and mentality is matched by their cour- age.
 AS things stand. no playwright can know how his work stands until it has passed the ordeal of the critics of Butte "Chanticleer' may be rousing success in Paris, but this is no evidence it will be well received in Butte, Mont, where criticism is dished out on an independent mountain basis wholly regardless of what other critics may have printed. The critics of Butte are in other words standing on their own feet yielding their own pencils and drawing upon their own intelects for ideas.

"CUss.-

From the New York World.
 A controversy over the origin of "cuss, has cropped out in the columns ofsa con- temporary Whether the word comes from curse or from the German kraus, whether indeed it is not derived from customer, whatever it's source the ety- mological question involved is of minor consequence as compared with the mo- mentary revival of useful term which | it has been sad to see fall into desue- tude. Since ''bloke, and 'guy'' came into the vernacular. 'cuss" has largely lost it's place in popular speech. surviving mainly in the back country.
 It has been a real loss. A ''cuss'' in the day of the words general vogue was something more than the mean fel- low'' to which one correspondent limits its meaning. There was the "ornery cuss,' to be sure. but on the other hand man could be pious cuss or lovable old cuss. In the Biglow Papers there is an 'everlastin' cuss." It was the appli- cation of the term to all kinds and con- ditions of men which gave it it's aptness John Hays Jim Bludso would have been called cuss in Pike county-of whom l the poet said:
 | He waren't no saint, but at jedgment | I'd run my chance with Jim. | There were cusses of all kinds on the Stanislaus, at Poker Flat, in the gold
 fields, on the picket lines in the war of
 the rebellion. wherever men have con-
 gregated. The newer slang which comes
 up from the Bowery or fits across the
 footlights of the musical comedy is no
 doubt largely responsible for the decline
 of "cuss, for which it has furnished no
 satisfactory substitute.
 A distinguished British author has re-
 tation of old words now in disuse. The
 passing of a word like ''cuss" illustrates
 the possibilities of usefulness of such a
 society Unhappily fashions in words,
 once they have gone out, unlike fashions
 in clothes, never come back. .sS
