Coal and Iron
ernn1ent.

The coal mining trade has been excep- tionally active for many months, and it is estimated that Alabama's production this year will reach 15,ooO, 900 tons-a new high record Not only has the demand for Alabama coal been brisker than usual but prices have been better than in several years past.
 Before the panic of 1907 there was great complaint on the part of the operators about car shortage. Prosperity struck high water mark in the summer of 1907 but then followed a period of industrial depression. Recovery had not been suffi- ciently in evidence since 1907 to tax the capacity of the railroads in this district until recently, when the cry came from mining companies for more cars.
 But with all this activity in the coal business-aetivity even in the dull month of August-the pig iron market has been extremely dull No such conditions were ever known before-solid prosperity in the coal trade and prolonged weakness in the iron trade. Such conditions might appear anomalous; but the low iron market has been accounted for chiefly by over production. The country was not ready for production at the rate of 30,0o0,O00 tons per annum Such an output would have caused even the market in 1907 to flag. It will not be many years, perhaps, before an annual production of 100000 tons in the United States will be needed. Tn the meantime furnace interests must be sat isfed with something less than rate of 30 900 GOO tons a year during the remain ing months of 1910. The curtailment which was begun early in the summer is now beginning to be felt The iron market is decidedly stronger In tone than 1t was 10 days ago. Prices are tending upward. and there will be no more s11 iron for sale in the Birmingham district. It looks now as if the iron market would soon keep tne coal trade company

Privilege Everywhere Denounced

Theodore Roosevelt condemns in un- privilege So does Hoke Smith So do, Uenator Bourne of Oregon, republican, and Senator Owen of Oklahoma. demo- erat. No one rises up to defend privilege and the use of large corporate money in politics. No one will defend them in a public manner but nevertheless the cam paign fund gathered chiefly in Wall street win be potential in 1912 very much as it has been in this country ever since the days of civil strife Our political history uhows that since the war no presiden- tial candidate has been able to. win at the polls when Wall street was against him, not one.
 Senator Owen of Oklahoma presents . remedy-the only remedy that the case seems to admit of namely direct ac-
 
 vention in any particular of machine politicians. Senator owen puts the issue before the people compactly and plainly. ahd if his ringing words could be carried t& every honest voter, possibly the peo- pje would come into their own again. The tfend of action and sentiment sets in ttat direction. This is why Theodore Roosevelt is everywhere welcomed.

Mir. Roosevelt and 1904

The hot shot of the New York Evening Post has called out a reply over col umn long from MT. Roosevelt The lat ter is apparently hot under the collar He says he "took no money from Mr Hartman secretly or openly to buy votes or for any other purpose"
 No one says he did. The facts are plain and undeniable. In the last week of the 1904 campaign Hartman went to the White House by invitation of Presi- dent Roosevelt. Both were alarmed lest MT. Bryan should carry New York. Har- riman returned to Wall street post haste, and then and there raised a fund of 2so,OoO, contributing to it s5o,ooo himself. This money was not turned over to Mir. Roosevelt, but to the campaign commit about three days before the end of the campaign. In letter to Sidney Web ster MT. Hartman says this money was so used that "at least 5000 votes were turned in the city of New York, mak- ing a difference of 100000 votes in the general result" These are the facts in the matter, and MT. Roosevelts letter does not in any manner disprove them.
 If the real full history of the Cortelyou fund of 1904 could be written every hon est man in the country would be astound- ed by the efforts of corporate wealth to control politics in this country.
 MT Roosevelt has simply became a re- formed man. What he benefited from and certainly knew in a general way in 1904, he would not now touch with a forty-foot pole Give him credit for this so-called reformation. He puts 1904 and Cortelyouism behind him and sets out to curb special privilege and to give the rank and file a square opportunity
 in this country. He need not try to de- fend the acts of his party in 1904, for he cannot successfully do so, nor can any one else. The country had not then walked up to what many believe to be
 it's chief peril.

TuscaloOsa's Increase in Foundation

Thus far the population of few Alabama towns has been announced. Tuscaloosa, which had 4215 inhabitants in 1890, and bo94 in 1900, has now s407 In the decade Just ended it's growth was a bit more than 60 per cent; not many cities outside of Alabama have shown a rate of growth above SO per cent It might be fortunate indeed if all other Alabama towns could present an equally large percentage of growth. This. how ever. cannot be expected for the entire increase in the state will not probably exceed 20 per cent. The towns could not as rule show gains three times greater without depopuating the rural districts.
 When the states census figures are fully presented we will then be able to see what counties have been unusually pros porous, and what have not. Thus far three states only have been reported-Rhode Island Oklahoma and Michigan. The com plete state report from Alabama will soon be forthcoming, and then we will know all about the home. towns and the home counties. There is no appeal from the official figures. They must be swal- lowed no matter how unwelcome their di- gestion may be.

Beautiful Island Tn the Pacific on Which Tv Honolulu Stands

Henrietta Sands Anderson in the Chicago News.
 We reached Honolulu about o'clock in the morning and the shadows thrown by the rising sun on the mountains made wonderful picture. The island was a mass of bloom and fragrance dropped into the lonely Pacific, and nowhere else has nature been so openhanded. On landing we found the inside of the jewel casket as exquisite as the shining ex- terior; the houses set in wonderful gar dens of green and flowers, where strong red and green leaves decked with flashes of yellow vied with foliage of deep red, seemed ideal places for a honeymoon.
 Great banana trees swung their huge leaves above our heads, and cocoanut palms waved in the gentle breeze and here and there the trees were decked with wonderful vines of yellow or laven- der flowing in the wind as gracefully as a gossamer veil.
 On every side gorgeous fir trees stretched forth their sturdy branches as if to challenge all the other beauties of nature, and. indeed, they would take the prize in any contest. They thrive in wild beauty in the sunlight, the innumerable red flowers growing thickly all over the branches. They are startling in their in- tensity and present a brilliant combina- tion of grace and boldness. Taken sep arately the blossoms are delicate and fine, but growing as they do in great clusters, relieved only by delicate sprays l.. Ao,, They say that at night the frefies make these trees their happy hunting ground and keep the foliage alive with twink ling lights.
 | Nature expended all of her wealth and beauty on the plants and flowers and air here, and instead of making race of airy exquisite creatures to inhabi the earthly paradise she put people alto gether out of keeping with their surround | ings. The native women wear hideous
 wrappers cut and painfully trimmed ac- | cording to individual lack of taste. | It was too absurd to see the creatures | swinging down the streets holding ur

THE KAISER EXPLAINS
From the Boston Globe.
 1


 The Kaisef rises at Marienburg to amend his remarks at Koenigsberg.
 William now admits that there are others" He is not the only instrument of the Lord. Every honest Christian, whoever he may be, is. as we'll as his majesty himself, the servant of the Mas ter, according to the revised version of the Kaiser's position. No more does he walk alone with the Lord going his way regardless of all other human beings. On the contrary, this heir of the Hohenzol- lerns designs specifically to name as among his partners in the Common work of achieving great things foi the fatherland'' the farmer, the mer- chant, the manufacturer and even la borers and the members of the various races of the empire. The Emperor vir- trally admits that all are reigning and ruling with him by the same divine right that he claims for himself
 This sober second thought, which the Kaiser hastens to give us, leaves no room for further debate between him and the German democracy. What a lot of hot talk he would have averted If he had lei the chancellor write his first speech.

Today Is to Be Political

Not only is Vermont to hold a state
 election, choosing a governor and two

 New Hampshire will hold today it's first official primary. for this institution of
 the people has invaded even New Eng land.
 No one expects Vermont to go demo- |cratic. The normal republican majority in that state is 10000, and any majority un- der that will represent a change in pub lie sentiment. The close observer will

 'Tn the matter of lighting it, should say that the same plan could be utilized as is now in use for the underground sidewalk extension of the First Ma tional Bank building. There is the mat ter of ultimate economy in favor of the subway as compared to the viaduct as to safety and maintenance.

PIECES OF EIGHT

From the Washington Post.
 Tn an atrabiliar mood Burke once de- clared that the age of chivalry was gone. It was not a correct statement, how ever it might seem at the time to be justified by the circumstances attending the execution of Marie Antoinette. True chivary we have always with us We fear, however, that there afe some people in the world whose outlook on life makes them consistently take as habitual view what the great orator expressed in a moment of petulance and under great provocation. To them chivalry and TO- nance and all that sort of thing are as dead as the dodo.
 These worthy people are in reality very shortsighted. If they seek romance they will find 1t lying all around them. Even in a place where one does not look for anything particularly enlivenng-in the advertising columns of the financial press, to o-wit-there has recently appear a piece of genuine downright romance.

REED IN BRONZE
Hh1D IN DNON LE From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
 Now Thomas B. Reed is commemorated in bronze before the memory of James G. Blaine has received a tribute from the people of Maine. Such a contrast in their fortunes would not have been dreamed of 20 years ago.
 There was something in the virile per sonality of Reed which survives the grave. The memorable transaction in his public life was his fastening the Reed rules on the house in 1SS9-90. He was not necessarily the author of the new code, but all the force in his forcible character was required to secure the adoption of the rules by a body which, in the beginning, had a republican ma jority of only three.
 After two decades the godfather of the Reed rules stands forth at Portland in monumental bronze while their con- temporary sponsor, Speaker Cannon, Is being driven from the chair by insurgent republicans. Partisanshp is not the thing 1t was when Reed first took up the gavel. Nor is Joseph G. Cannon a Thomas B. Reed.
