 business policy.

 company. Ralph Wilson, formerly with the Floyd Cotton Mills of Rome, Ga,
 has been appointed to the position and assumed active charge yesterday. Work has begun here on a big cot

TALLADEGA TO ADD
 TO COURTHOUSE
OF PROSPERITY-PUBL ROAD SYSTEM TO BE IMPROvED-DIs- PENSARY PLAN FAVORED

Ta1ladega, November 1S.-(Special.) The Talladega courthouse for the third time in its existence Is to be added to and improved. At present 1t Is two o-story red brick building with safe ty vaults at the north end and Cor inthian columns at the side entrances. both on the north and south sides, To- cated in the center of a square. Twen- ty years ago or more wings were add ed to the original building and the vaults built About eight or nine years ago additions costing $15,00O were made.
 The jail will also be improved by
 the building of new tier of cells. The individual deposits of the Isbell National bank have increased over s2oo, 900 since September 1, or, to put 1t in the figures sworn to by the bank officials. the increase Is from the sum Of s24o,657.97 to S546.57s.14. At the same time the loans have increased over S15, 900. It is submitted that this state- ments shows great evidence of pros perity with other banks in the city do- ing a large and increasing volume of business.
 The public road system of Talla- dega county differs from any other county in the state, and under 1t the highways of Talladega have been kept up and improved without the incurr- ing of any bonded indebtedness. Pro- bate Judge J. E. Camp has secured the services from the agricultural depart ment at Washington of D. H. Winslow, a road engineer, who will visit here at an early date and examine the roads and aid the officials with expert ad vice.
 The Talladega Light and Power com pany has completed its high power transmission line and begins this even- ing to use power from two sources, both from Anniston and Talladega. Later on the plant at Jackson Shoals will be again put in commission. The company eventually will generate power at Little River Falls in Cherokee coun- ty. Alabama. where lands and a site has been secured.
 Should the surrounding counties suc- ceed in getting through the legisla ture the privilege to sell whisky under a local option law 1t will force Talla- dega to do the same, or to establish A dispensary This matter is being discussed by the thinkers of the city. and it is obvious that there is a large sentiment in favor of the dispensary. From the standpoint of municipal rev enue the dispensary has advocates, who, otherwise. are pronounced temperance men. The overwhelming sentiment of the county is against the open saloon.

PHYSICAL AND
MORAL WEAKNESS
The Shop Girl Undermined BY Hard
Work Cannot Resist Tempta-
tons in Morals.

The secretary of the Keokuk Trades
aud Labor Assembly has requested
publication of the following from
labor journal, The Public:
With the sanity and courage that
characterize all her work, Mrs. Ray
mond Robins reminded an audience
before which she recently spoke with
reference to the petty arguments in
behalf of labor Sweaters" in the
Chicago strike that there is one great
fact that cannot be pushed aside.
This fact, which she said, Stands
out starkly in all this cloud Of tech
nicalities, is that the girls and women
employed in the garment working
business are being literally worked to
death at wages grossly insufficient to
keep body and soul together Pro-
ceeding with the thought, she ar
gued:
Society must not expect girls to
remain pure who month in and month
out are Systematically over-worked
and underpaid The toxin of fatigue
will ultimately undermine the strong
est constitution, and the girl phys
ically worn out at the end of her
work day lacks the physical strength
to resist temptation and seeks in
morals the line OF least resistance
This is the law Of nature and none
but the strongest characters can re-
sist it.

nize that menacing fact.

4 ployers who stand out for the right

girls-except. of course, the persons
who encourage them to do It.. Here
I are the real pirates Of the white
slave traffic; and the more respect
able they appear to be, the worse
! they are. Bishop Williams of Michi.
/ gan analysed them when he describ.
ed them as men with "a dual con-
science being careful in their re-

4 Would YOU understand the method
whereby those white slavers' fleece

it is enforced the victims are often
widows and orphans, the slegatees I'M
der wills disposing of few Thousand
dollars OF life insurance or other prop
erty. In other cases the victims OF
the tax ferret withdraw their capital
and themselves from the state rather
than submit to the oppression. In
speaking of the ferrets the TT. says:
The effect of tax ferret activity in
Iowa has been very harmful. The
injustice to the ferrets' victims aside,
1t has exiled many desirable citizens
who might cheerfully pay fair tax
on their moneys and credits but OBJ
Ject to "a confiscatory tax. 1t has
driven out of the state millions of dol
lars that should have been available
TO the business men and especially
the builders in our cities, the men
who employ merchants and improve
the city it they can borrow money on
favorable terms. A six per cent
mortgage on city property subject TO
tax OF. two per cent, is not wanted
when IL and per cent municipal,
county and drainage bonds exempt
from taxation are on the market.
Even rates on farm loans are adj
yancing as consequence of this fer
ret activity. In some counties in
which the ferrets have been active
the demand for farm loans at L.
and Z per cent exceeds the demand.
though formerly the rate was Ave to
SIX per cent. However the cities are
the chief sufferers. They can pot
grow if the county and city govern
ments continue to license the ferrets
to war upon the owners of the capital
required for their growth. Unless we
have reform in this matter the next
federal census of Iowa will show d
further decline in population
1t is difficult to see how even those
most prejudiced against repeal of the
present law taxing money and credits
can avoid the admission that there
should be some revision in connection
with our state tax system.

hopeless poverty of one person off
against the hopeless poverty Of an
other in their bargain driving. Here
is an example. A garment worker of
the name of Yacnlloa "scab'' in the
slang of the labor war, which is
equivalent TO ''deserter or traitor"
in other kinds of war-shot striker
and killed him. Yacullo explained:
81 cannot afford to strike; have a
wife and seven hungry children to
support
There is the secret OF the power
of the oppressive employer. He prates
about the {. right of the worker to
work without molestation, whether
he gets enough out of 1t to live on
or not. Judges echo these employers.
They have perverted the law OF in
junction to help them out, And
preachers garb their greediness in
religious masks. What such employ
ers really demand-masks offs the
right to play timid victims OF plum
dering Industrial system against
drawer ones. Men who cannot afford
to strike because they have hungry
wives and children to support, and
girls who cannot afford to lose work
because they have feminine virtue to
conserve-the are among the hap
less creatures upon whom your sor-
did strike resisters rely to defeat
strikers and to fleece both strikers
and .scabs."

Rinaina Out hysteria.

ST Louis Giobe-Democrat Among
the things to be hoped for in the new
year is calmer and more rational con
duties connected with them. The coun-
Try has had for period reaching as
far back aso the silver crusade many
phases of superficial popularity that
proved in the end to be different from
substantial influence. Public ques-
tons have been attacked in an impul
Eive spirit and evidently with the idea
that noisy demonstration is more con-
yincing than deliberate judgment
Sensational methods have claimed the
right OF way and yet the sober
thought of the people asserts itself
in its own quiet, effective manner.
The country will be the gamer If 1911
witnesses less clamor and realizes
that the shouting contagion is not the
true measure OF the deeper public
sentiment that counts. If New Year
Resolutions are in order let one be
made on this point.
History has many instances OF what
may be called false popularity. In the
icivil war the general who was greeted
with the most cheering, spreading
from camp to camp with automatic
/ regularity, was Mcclellan. He was
not successful in the field and drop
ped out of the conflict to run for the
presidency against Mr.. Lincoln, but
received so few electoral votes that
he hardly had material footing in
the race. There is a genuine popular
