declaring their allegiance to the new

Death of the King
ONDON. May saturday is

7 ONDON. May 7-Saturday is
1 usually the gayest night OF the
- week in London, but tonight
a Sabbathlike quiet pervades the city.
1t is a capital in mourning. All the
theaters and music halls have closed
their doors, the band concerts in the
parks, which drew tens of thousands
of the working people during the long
spring twilight, are abandoned.
The people wander idly about the
streets, looking at the portraits OF
Edward VII wreathed in crepe in the
shop windows. Multitudes drift into
ST. James park, staring at the dark
ened windows of Buckingham palace,
where the body of the dead king lies,
and Marlborough house, near by.
through the gates of which officials
and messengers come and go con
stantly. Here the new king has had
to set aside his personal grief to busy
himself with the affairs of crown and
family.
Kingdom in Mourning
Many wear badges of mourning.
The whole kingdom, indeed. is a
nation in mourning. Ireland has for
gotten her political grievances against
her sister isle The Irish papers
speak kindly, approximately, of King
Edward VII. The mayors of such
nationalist strongholds as Dublin and
Limerick have sent messages of sym
pathy to the widow
Municipalities, churches and socie-
ties of all sorts have met to pass
eulogies on the late monarch and
offer good wishes to his successor.
The courts and business houses have
been closed; ports and entertainments
of every type have been dropped;
society has cancelled its engagements.
The managers of most of the metro
politan theaters have decided TO sus-
pend the season until after the funeral.
While King George was signing the
proclamation of his succession in the
presence of his privy councillors, who
came in uniform and wearing brilliant
decorations, in the medieval little St
James palace this afternoon, battery
in the adjoining park was firing @
minute guns, the age of his predeccs-
sor. The first official utterance of the
new king was marked by feeling clo-
quence and made deep impression

Improyement in Education

There has been a decided improve
 ment in the educational equipment of stenographers here in Birmingham within the past five or six years, but
 there is still room for improvement, asid a professional man. "A few years ago the stenographer who had a good
 education was the exception to the rule. Comparatively few of them could spell and as for anything like general cul- ture they were woefully deficient. Now 1t is just the reverse. I have had oc- casion recently to test stenographers and I have been agreeably surprised to find them so well equipped. Birming- ham High school graduates who have learned to take dictation are also able to compose excellent English; that is to say, they can do more than simply write sentences that will parse accord ing to the rules of grammar. They know good deal about style I can not say so much for boys and girls who have come here from other towns

National Issues Next Tuesday

On Wednesday morning next, rain or shine. we will know all about it. We will know which way the will of the American people is tending We will know who is to control the next Con gress, and we will know just how much speaking tour by Colonel Roosevelt is worth when weighed in the political scales.
 We will know a great many other things, for New Jersey is to decide whether woodrow Wilson is to become a presidential possibility and Ohio will decide as much so far as Governor Har- mon is concerned.
 Thirty-eight states are to hold elections on Tuesday next, and in those states 30 United States senators are to be elect ed, 2S governors. and other state officers too numerous to mention. A year mid- way between presidential elections is not strictly an off year. The elections in such a year are always considered sig nficant, and the elections of next Tues day are not an exception to the rule. Some of the states have never known warmer campaigns. notably New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. There are, however. to be sharp battles all the way from California to New Hampshire, and tho contest in Tennessee should not be overlooked. Senator Bob Taylor is run ming against Colonel Hooper, a repub- lican, for governor, and United States senator is to be elected to succeed Mir Frazier. The regular democrats have indorsed Benton McMillen for senator. The election in Tennessee is but one of Ss and nearly all of the SS are to be hotly contested When the people of 9S states speak on one day surprises are pretty sure to be included in the next mornings news.

Booming a State Rich In Resources

The Alabama Commercial and Indus trial association is to be revived for the purpose of having an organization that will work for a greater Alabama. Ala bama would be great if all her lands were cultivated. Only one-third of the state is under cultivation, and the hope is that the other two-thirds can be made productive also.
 Every county through it's probate judge and every commercial body and every city in the state should send delegates to the Montgomery meeting, which is to be called for the purpose of developing the state-its hidden wealth, its agri- cultural possibilities. its rivers and It's industries present and to come.
 In order to do this Alabama must ad- know what the soil of Alabama holds what it's sunshine and moisture will pro- duce when met by proper cultivation. This is why organization is needed, and the larger the Montgomery meeting is in khe latter days of this month the better Nill the start be toward making the state VI
 ich and prosperous. M x

Interest Politics


 There has been more money bet on thc result of the New York election, whicl takes place next Tuesday, than on any ! political contest since 1s92," said Everett R. Werner of Schenectady. q have usually voted the republican ticket. but am trying to get back home in time tc cast my ballot for Dix. l do not think there is any chance for Stimson. AS ev- cry one knows, the betting has been strongly in favor of the democratic tick ct, and the gambling element seldom fails to call the turn.
 T am not mixed up in politics in any shape or form, but I think the country reeds a change In party rule. I am one of thousands of independents who will welcome a national democratic victory in 1912, provided, of course, the democratic ticket is headed by a conservative states man and not radical; and a landslide democratic victory now will make victory two years hence comparatively easy. The republicans will be panic-strcken after Tuesday, if things turn out as I expect.
 "Woodrow Wilson would be my first choice, although Mayor Gaynor would make an extremely popular leader. l heard Woodrow Wilson speak in New Jersey a few days ago, and l like his style. He is one of the great men of the country. He is at once long-headed statesman, gentleman and a mixer. If he should ever reach the White House this republic would have democratic President who would measure up in his- tery with Jefferson, Madison, Tilden and Cleveland"

No illegal measure became necessary in the strike and there was no bloodshed.
 The new French cabinet is largely made up of men who had never served In a ministerial capacity On Tuesday next Premier Briand will present a new min- isterial programme, and no doubt he will be able to secure for it the support of the chamber of deputies He has al ready held office over year. and the in dications are that his public service is by no means ended. France has rarely had braver public-spirited servant, and his general policy will be maintained in the new cabinet that he has organized.
