Of spirituous liquors he falls still farther
behind, and finds himself outclassed by
the Austrian, the Hungarian, the German
and the Frenchman. He ranks NTH
among the nations as a wine drinker,
the Frenchman, the Italian, the Aus
TRAN, and the German being ahead of
him.
THE American. far more than many
Europeans, seeks refreshment and re-
newed energy in the cup which invigor-
ates but does not intoxicate.' Coffee and
tea are his favorite beverages. On an
average, he drinks more coffee than the
native of any country of the old world.
and when elassed with Europeans he is
surpassed only by the English in his use
of tea.
THE comparative temperance of the
American, Furthermore, would seem to be
little endangered by the great immigra-
ton hither of Russians and Italians. In
the use of spirits, the Italian is at the
very bottom of the list of Europeans. He
also drinks less beer than any of his
neighbors. He drinks considerable wine,
but it is a wine that contains little alco-
llo and even in this category he falls
some distance behind the French"

An Admirable Platform

admirable document. 1t contains fewer
plapks than the platform OF 1906 AMI is
ali the better for that. AS declaration
of party principles it is at once con-
servative, comprehensive AMI straight
forward.
The platform of four years ago was
implicitly If not expressly antagonistic
to foreign corporations and foreign cap
ital. The new platform makes it plain
that the democratic party of Alabama
is not only friendly to capital invested
in legitimate enterprises, but that all cap
ital. whether foreign or domestic, cor
porate or private. shall have the equal
protection of the laws and the equal
friendly consideration of those who adj
minister the laws"
The platform of 1906 declared for local
ortion. and the same principle is reaf-
frmed in the new resolutions, but with
fuller expression and more direct force.
Especially timely is the reference to the
principle of local self-government in its
relation to the temperance question. The
democratic party has always stood for
LEGAL self-government. and local option is
bound up in that doctrine. The two ideas
are in fact so clearly corelative as to
need no application.
Tuesdays convention was notable in it's
representative character. Never, per-
haps, was a more representative body
ever assembled in this state. Side by side
with politicians were men known to be
absolutely unselfish, and who had no
other thought but the public welfare.

in their use of coffee, for instance"
said DR.. Richter, 1.-THE American and the
Russian offer as great contrast as an
octogenarian and a year-old babe. On an
average. the American drinks as much
coffee in one day as does the Muscovite
in 50 days. In the consumption of tea,
beer and wine the English and the ltal-
fans differ to a still more startling degree.
In one day the average Britisher sips as
much tea as 1900 Italians, and in the same
length of time he swallows enough beer
to keep the average Italian supplied for
six months. Yet in wine drinking the
Italian shows that he can equal 81 John
Bulls.
THE American is fairly temperate when
compared with some OF his European
brothers continued Dr.. Richter. He
drinks less beer than the Englishman
the German, or the Austrian. In the use

Census TekIug In Other Cities.

In New Orleans the city authorities
have made list of over $1,000 uncounted
persons, and the census bureau has di-
rected that each name on the list shall be
investigated, and perhaps counted All
depends upon the Individual investigation.
In Atlanta the census is going on in
definitely. Aided says the Constitu-
ton, by the cooperation of many en-
ployers of negro laborers, several hun
dreds negroes are being enumerated who
escaped the census men on their other
pounds. and this class of citizens will as

Atlanta's population
The census will not, it is plain, be COM
pleted until New Orleans and Atlanta
Ind the number of people they desire tc
count this year. and there is no way Of
measuring their desires at present. New
Orleans and Atlanta have got the census
bureau hoodooed, and the outside public
will have to wait until the two cities
named have padded their enumeration ur
to their population dreams.

coLpEN-RuLE PRISON PLAN

From the New York World.
tn turn over a genuine new leaf and
never to turn 1t back, or to remain behind
bars for all his life.
Every convicted criminal in this coun-
try would face these alternatives were
the plan to be generally adopted which
Golden Rule" Chief Kohler of Cleveland
presented to police heads in national con-
vention al Birmingham last week. Mr.
Kohler would abolish the fixed term or
Imprisonment, which makes freedom the
issue of a certain date. He would have
everlasting good conduct the sole price
OF liberty So, he contends, would society
be protected at the same time that pun
isEment would fulfil what should be its
prime mission of benef1ting the Grim
inal
Under the Kohler scheme court of re-
ha Utilization would be constituted to which
a convict should appeal when he felt that
he could prove his reformed state. His
prison record would go toward the max
ing or breaking of his case; nothing short
of the whole truth concerning his birth,
training, career crime, state of mind
and intentions would serve to complete
the evidence. In case of repeated returns
to restraint, denoting established habits
of crime, the court of rehabilitation would
refuse to act.
| The plan is simple In suggestion it is
Ideal. 1t seems to place on a fairer and
more effective basis than that now af-
forded the Judgment of habtual criminal
ity. since the inducement Is made greater
and the way easier for a man to earn
his freedom. A practical test OF the
scheme might prove a valuable step in
the progress of society.

An Old Actor in the New York Morning

Joe jefferson and Billy Florence in

Florence was fond of poking fun at
Jefferson's paintings. I was present on
one occasion when he began carrying

scape which was nearing completion
under the brush of his brother comedian

Good Roads in Dallas County.

BY a vote of four or five to one Dallas
county has voted to place $4,000 in bonds
IN the making of good roads. This is
what every other county in the state that
prefers good roads to bottomless roads
will have to do. County action through
credit expressed in county bonds will yet
take up the task and carry it to compile
ton. The good roads of one county will
be Joined by the good roads of another
county and in the long run the state
that is now nearly a century old will
have good roads from one boundary to
the other.
In 1919 Alabama will be 100 years old,
and the cause of good roads should be
well advanced when the centennial cele-
bration is held. It certainly will be if all
the counties in the state will follow in
Dallas footsteps. There is absolutely no
other way in which the roads of a county
can be improved. 1t is idle to await
federal or state aid. The counties that
help themselves are the counties that
will soon have good roads radiating in
every direction to the great benefit of
their citizens and improvement in the
value of property. No investment pays
better than a good, hard road in all
,xeathers and all forms of moisture.

ACTOR LIKES AMERICAN PUSH
Forbes Robertson Says This Country Is
More Progressive

From the Buffalo News.
How do conditions on the stage in
America compare with the prevailing
state of affairs in England Forbes
Robertson was asked in the course of an
interview.
You are progressing faster than we
are, think he replied. There is more
enterprise over here. Wonderful things
are being accomplished and we have
much to learn from you.
MY first visit to this great country
continued Mr.. Robertson, was made %
years ago, when I came over to play
leading parts with Mary Anderson. Since
then I have crossed the Atlantic many
times, and always to find that IN the
interval your energetic American man
ayers had evolved something new to
please and entertain the public
Miss Anderson's retirement was
great loss to the stage; in fact 1 do not
think the void it created has ever been
filed She had what is so rare among
actresses in these days-a great classic
intuition and the declamatory sense
which is not nearly so common as one
would think. Aside from being very
beautiful, she was one of the most IN
telligent and cultured women | have ever
met, and a great student, and she was
the possessor of a remarkably sympa-
thetic personality.
Mr.. Robertson relates many interesting
"reminiscences of Modjeska, the great ira
gedienne, for whom he was also ieauine
man. It was they who first inaugurateu
the custom of presenting Shakespeare
out of doors.

and only SAT so of the sum is left in Bir-
mingham to become a part of the capital
of this city through the agency of local
banks The depositor does not receive
the interest of his money that is thus put
into government bonds. He gets per
cent on his deposits.
The plan that has been adopted by the
republican leaders will certainly operate
to lessen the money in circulation among
the rank and file of any community, and
H. the long run it will concentrate money
in the money centers of the country far
beyond the policy and practice of saw
ings banks Just so Ear as it does that
it will prove hurtfu to the general bust
ness of a community.
1t is really more measure to strength
en- government bonds than measure
to help small depositors. Fortunately
the bill will be thoroughly analysed be-
fore it is passed and amendments will
be freely offered. The entire scheme will
probably go over to the short session
that meets after the November election.

THE ROSE bush

From the German.
(Translation by William w. Caldwell)
A child sleeps under rosebush fair.
The buds swell out in the soft May air;
Sweetly 1t rests and on dream wings
flies
To play with the angels in paradise.
And the years glide by
A maiden stands by the rosebush fair,
The dewy blossoms perfume the air;
She presses her hand to her throbbing
breast,
With loves first wonderful rapture blest.
And the years glide by
A mother kneels by the rosebush fair,
Soft sigh the leaves in the evening air:
Sorrowing thoughts of the past arise,
And tears of anguish bedm her eyes.
And the years glide by
Naked and alone stands the rosebush
fair, As .rsHr mre.
Wlirred are the leaves in the autumn
air.

kratln the consent of these trustees has
been obtained This is neither consistent
with popular rights nor with any plan OF
any other country.
As planned any person in a locality
where postal savings bank has been
established may deposit any amount from
b upward to $500, but not more than 500
In any single month. This money cannot,
however, be withdrawn on demand as
money deposited in an ordinary bank
may be. Ten days notice must be given
Of any withdrawal. This certainly is a
cumbersome and unnecessary provision,
especially in view of the fact that per
cent of all deposits remains as reserve
IN the hands of the treasurer of the board
Of trustees.
The per cent TO be used as reserve
fund will presumably be sent to WASH

Bright for the Democrats

Senator Joseph F. Johnston is in de-
mand in such congressional districts in

carry. He has accepted invitations to
speak in New Jersey this week.
In private letter to friend in Blr-

Enthusiastically of the democratic outlook.
He sees plainly decentralization in the re-
publican ranks. Leading republicans, he
says, expect the democrats to carry the
House and to make decided gains in the
Senate. He says that the democrats will
win senator in Missouri and one in In
diana, and that the party stands to win
in Nebraska, Montana and Delaware and
he refers to New York and New Jersey

EMPRESS OF ABYsSINIA

From the Westminster Gazette.
Menelik's wife, the Empress of Abyss
sinia, who is reported to be a prisoner in
the hands of those favoring the immediate
succession Of the heir apparent, is a lady
who was once a great beauty and who
had had four previous husbands before
she became the wife of Menelik. Her first
husband was one of King Theobald's gen.
erals, her second she divorced, her third
was killed by King John, her fourth was,
az it has ben euphemistically expressed,
removed" and in 1888 she married the
late Emperor. The fact is sometimes lost
sight of that many of the Abyssinians
are Christians. The Abyssinian church
Is of Egyptian origin, and is one of the
oldest Christian bodies in the world.

Bonds of the Greater City,

The placing at a little more than three
points above par of the new city's issue
of $4,000 In bonds completes the con-
soldation movement. Greater Birming-
ham is now in position to meet all
problems that may come up as one
united, homogeneous and harmonious city
The bond issue directly represents the
annexed districts, and hereafter there
representing all from East Lake to wy
lam inclusive.
The central portion of Jones valley
has been absorbed in the making of the
new city, leaving, however, sections at
either end untouched AS time and events
go along it becomes clearer every day
to all the citizens of Greater Birming-
ham that the annexation lines are none
too wide, simply because they embrace
people with common purpose and a
common civic ambition. The city's pros
perity as a whole Is their prosperity,
and few votes indeed would be cast to-
day in favor of a return to a dozen
weak municipalities instead of one strong
city that can speak and act for ala
city by the people of the people, for the
people of Jones valley.

that during the same period the de-

A GERMAN ADvENTURER

From the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.
From Charlottenburg, Germany, comes
a curious story of crime, conviction, re-
pcntance, reform, exposure, disgrace ana
ATTEMPTED suicide. 1t is as good as
novel. only it hasn't as yet any climax.
It appears a certain Karl May, who has
long been noted in that city as a man Oh
wealth, social eminence and philanthropic
virtues, was recently exposed In court as
an ex-convict who had served two terms
of Imprisonment for theft and robbery.
Overwhelmed by disgrace, the unfortun-
ate man made an effort to kill himself
but failed
II appears from reports, the criminal
career began early in youth and was
prcmpted by vicious instincts. In early
manhood the young thief was sent to
prison for four years. After his release
he became the leader of a band of rob-
bers along the borders of Germany and
Austria AS he robbed only the rich and
shared his plumber with the poor, the
peasants connived at his crimes and aid
ed him to evade the police. During his
second imprisonment, which lasted for
eight years, ne appears 10 nave oNercoihe
his criminal tendencies. When he re-
gained freedom he set his energies to
honest work, and prospecting, became rich
and eminent. That he is a man of stout
heart is evident from his story, but he
could not stand the disgrace of confront
ing his record after it was made public.
1t is curious that man who had so
much fear in his heart should have re-
NAMED in Germany where 1t was almost
inevitable that someone should recognize
HIM as the former bandit and convict.
We have this, however, another illustra-
tiou of those curious weaknesses of the
criminal mind which led Lombroso to
class the whole race as degenerates and
semi-imbecies. Normally man with
sufficient strength to work his way up
from jail to responsibility would have
had intelligence enough to have counted
on exposure and prepared for it. or else
to have avoided 1t by emigrating to a
far land where he would be in little dan
ger of recognition by former associates.
