New Orleans or San Francisco

The battle Is to be fought out this win ter in washington. and either New Or leans or San Francisco will be declared the site of an authorized celebration of the opening of the Panama canal. The official exposition will get the foreign ex- tlbits. and be the event of the year.
 The entire Harriman-Hill outfit, includ- ing all the transcontinentai railroads, has opened headquarters at Washington with a determination to lobby through the designation of San Francisco regardless of the fitness of things, and centrality snd the desire of the people.
 This is not quetsion that should be de- cided by a railroad lobby. It is a ques- ton that should be decided by the people who desire to attend a Panama exposi- ton, and on that basis New Orleans would win hands down. Only the plutocracy could afford to pay railroad and Pullman fares to San Francisco and return, and the plutocratic transcontinental railroads are fighting for fares.
 The presence of a railroad lobby in Washington should serve to fortify New Orleans confessed advantages of Ioca- tion, for 1t is within easy reach of three forrths of the population of this country. It is really contest between the trans continental railroads and the people. and the decision will show which is the stronger.

Demonstration Agents h Alabama

Congressman Richardson Of Huntsville is working on the right line-on the best line that one can work for the better ment of AlabSna. He is inducing the Secretary of Agriculture to place dem- onstration agent in each county in his dis- trict There are seven counties in 'he Eighth district and there will therefore be next year seven demonstration agents in that district.
 The value of demonstration farm con- sists in it's objectivity. It is where 1t can be seen. There is no subjectivity In it. It is a matter of vision only, and the spectator cannot say of 1t as he does of the newspaper man who urges him to blow deeper. .'What does that fool know about plowing7"
 When a demonstration farm doubles crop of cotton or corn the old-time farm CT who has been ploughing with one lean mule three or four inches deep begins to sit up and take notice. These farms are rightly named, for they do demonstrate what the soil and climate are capable of of in the hands of good farmers.
 Every other member of Congress in this state should do as Judge Richardson IS doing. MT. Underwood long ago began the work, and demonstration agent in each county would induce many progress sive farmers in the state to conduct their farms in a demonstrative governmental

Changes in Birmingham

What phenomenal progress Birming- ham has made" exclaimed John F. liar ley, one of the most widely known men connected with the management of opera and at present representing the Bessie Abott Grand Opera company, which comes to the Shubert December 12.
 T was here frequently in the eighties, when my good friend. the late Capt. Frank P. O'Brien, was the proprietor of O'Brien's opera house, now the Shu- bert theatre. He was full of public spirit and enthusiasm, and was the most de- voted and helpful patron of musical art that I had ever met. I was truly sorry to learn of Captain O'Briens death.
 Birmingham, as I recall 1t in 1884, had only a population of about 10000. 1t was considered a fast growing town then, and so 1t was, for it's population reached be- tween 26.0OO and 27.0OO in 1890; but 1t was a small town after all compared with the Birmingham of today. This city is now most handsomely built, both in the busi- ness district and in the residence sec tions, and is one of the most attractive places from any point of view that l know of. Birmingham is certainly one of the best of advertised cities in Amerlca and it seems to be headed for the 1,000.C0 class'

POOR OLD DAD

From the Washington Post.
 We are heartily in sympathy with the plea of the Rev. William E. Barton Of Chicago. who points out that motherhood has long had it's proper acknowledgement and recognition in the hymnology, while the virtue of father is unsung in hymn or psalm. He thinks that hymns should be written in honor of fatherhood. Perhaps the reverend gentleman is father him. self and is irked over the lack of respect with which in this degenerate age father hood is treated All the sentiment and pataos, the sympathy and the glorifca- tion goes to mother, and really the time has come for a change in this regard. Even the popular song writers have sensed the general tendency and tears are shed about Saving Mothers Picture from the Sale," or Mothers Colleen Locks Are Cray" or '~The Songs My Mother Used to Sing" Nobody ven- lures to write song about "The Clothes My Father Bought for Me-" or God Bless the Check that Daddy sent," or ''The Kindly Face of Father Beams on Me-" The best the old gentleman gets in the way of celebration Is Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now" a lachrymose ditty picturing father, halt soaked, loalng about a barroom Or they slam at him more directly such in- suits as Everybody Works Put Father" as if father were not the ol iginal pro- ducer for the ultimate consuming family.
 Any one would think, to see our comic press or to hear our songs, that father hood was great joke. The best father gets is to be known as ''the old man. or the governor" in public estimation he is gradually being reduced to the level of hill-paying, grumbling necessity, whom mother married just because it was handy to have a man about the house. The minute a man becomes a father he is guyed and has to "set 'em up' in an apologetic way; If he become doubly father, through the advent of twins, or, in a burst of enthusiasm and anti-race suicide. become the father of triplets, he is an object of ridicule to all his neigh bors. and is commiserated by his bus,- ness friends.
 With thes growth of the feminine suf- frage ideas fatherhood is becoming even less respectable than formerly. and it is no wonder that the census returns indi- cate an ever-growing proportion of bach elors. It is sincerely to be hoped that the voice from Chicago will not be lifted in vain. We cannot see what particular good would come from singing hymns about father, but 1t sounds like step in the right direction, and we are for tiff they can get anybody to write the hymns.

Plans of iha (InYArnOrS

r-ba governors propose to sit a whole week next year and to cut down the time allotted to social functions. They pro- pose to ask their respective legislatures for an appropriation with which to es- tablish permanent headquarters. where nroera mines can be arranged. Subjects for discussion are to be selected with more care, and the paper prepared by each governor Is to be sent in advance to all other governors. The object of this is to secure intelligent discussions and definite recommendations at the con- ference.
 It Is hoped in this way to accomplish something toward bringing the states in line on subjects of common interest to all-automobile reciprocity and regulation, for example. A great many subjects should, in fact, be covered by practically uniform laws.
 Strange as the fact may appear At lanta did not invite the conference tc meet next year within its walls. New York and Jacksonville were the only competitors. and the conference ad 1ourned without selecting meeting place for next years conference. Atlanta ma! yet become an active competitor.

PRAIsEGoD BAREBoNE,s BROTHER

From T. P.'s Weekly. London.
 It Is perhaps in the perusal of musty old parchments and parish registers that the really curious name is found At the beginning of the seventeenth century and extending well into Puri- tan times they are remarkably numer- ous. Among the baptisms are such Christian names as Repent, Freegift, Restore, Constant and Faintnot. That remarkable member of the parliament of 1853, Praisegod Barebone, was actu- ally baptized by that name and Is so called in the records of the Leathersell- CTS company of London. But it must be admitted that Barebones brother adopted his Christian name, which ran thus and could never have been com fortably accommodated upon an or dinary visiting card of today: 'If Christ Had Not Died for Thee, Thou Shouldst Have Been Damned Barebone." And this individual had but himself to blame because his lightsome friends and the wits called him Damned Barebone.

OCEAN LINERS MODEL

From the New York World. ra zi
 The most complete and painstakingly built ship model ever constructed is to- day on exhibition at the Flatiron build- ing. Broadway and Twenty-third street. l. is a miniature reproduction of the White Star liner Titanic, to be launched in the early spring. Built on a scale of a quarter inch to the foot. the model has a total length of 1872 feet and beam of three feet.
 Eight men devoted their whole atten- tion for practically year in the liar land & Wolf shipyard at Belfast,N Ire land, to the construction of this model. The hull they shaped from a huge oak log. Whereas nearly all other steamship models have been made of solid timber, this one has been hollowed and an cleo trio ventilation system installed, 1t hay ing been found that the solid hull inva- riably warped and split.
 All the superstructure Is of thin sheet metal, fine wire and brass castings. Ev erything Is drawn carefully to scale, even to the tiny handles of the winches. In the interior of the model electric lights have been placed, and these shine out through the miniature portholes in very lifelike manner.
 No detail has been omitted From the vii eless apparatus to the pinnacle the ship stands complete. It lacks only crew and passengers, and water to float it. A liliputian searchlight throws it's pencil beam ahead, and port, starboard and masthead lights glimmer In conformity to the nautical law.

More Than a Hundred Million

An unofficial estimate of the population of the mainland. including Alaska and Hawaii, made in Washington, puts the number of people at sS, 471.s4S. The final figures will vary but little from this esti- mate. There are 100000 more in the Philippines, Porto Rico and the remainder of our outposts, thus putting US safely across the hundred-million line.
 This is indeed a great country. but it is by no means at the top of the list so far as mere numbers are concerned. The Chinese empire comes first with a popu- lation of 4s3, ,o3O. No one can guar antee that the last 30 people are there but the number Is the result of a cen sus actually taken. The British empire is second, with population of S94,246,SS2 mostly East Indians. The Russian em- pire holds third place with a population of 152, ,OO9, ,3eO This puts the United State: in fourth place. France and her colonie: contain s2,5S1,325 people. giving her fftf place. Japan comes next with 100000 oi very smart people. and Austria-Hungary and Germany wind up the list of popu- lous countries. Germany has 6O,6O5, ,1S3 peo- pie and Austria-Hungary has 46,s73, ,35s The others countries of the world belong in the lightweight class, although Italy and Spain and Brazil and Mexico are in good fighting trim.
 The first census was taken in this country in 179O. when there were less than 100000 people in 1t. The leap to 104. 100000 is big one. but the leap of an- other century may be still greater. This country may be carried to the top of the list, and then again disaster and reverses may come as they came to Rome and Greece. It is anybodys guess. This country will stand very high 100 years from now if 1t meets its problems brave ly and well, and stays together.

A WISE WOMAN

From scraps.
 James c. Dahlman, the recently de- feated candidate for governor of Me- braska, said the other day of a ter rible graft scandal: These things de- stroy our faith in human nature. They give us the pessimistio outlook of the elderly lady in the jewellers shop. A salesman in this shop was showing an ingenious electric clock to a young girl. You see miss.' he said, by touch- ing this lever you switch bright light onto the face of the clock. It's a splendid device for telling the exact hour of your husbands return iron, the club 'But,' she said, haven't got any husband 'Ah, but you will have some day. said the clerk. Yes she agreed. Then she nodded toward the clock. But mine, she said. won't be that kind At this juncture the elderly woman interposed. My poor child she said. they're all that kind. I'll take the clock she said to the salesman

ELITES MONKEY

From the New York American.
 The lights were gleaming, glasses were clinking, delectable viands were filling the air with savory odors, and Joy was unconfned at Shanleys the other night when a man sitting at a table in the corner jumped up with a startled cry. The champagne glass dropped from his shaking hand, and he drew his nervous fingers across his blinking eyes and whispered to his companion;
 "Ten me, honest, Tom. do you see what see?"
 His companion and others sitting near by looked where the distraught man pointed, and, sure enough. they saw it too-a monkey hanging by his tail from the s1o,OOo chandelier!
 It wasn't a pink one with emerald eyes and amber tail, but just the com mon jungle variety of monk. But that was bad enough. Just as the monkey had begun by his antics to attract general attention, the head waiter caught sight of him. Fearful of a serious slump in bar receipts, he hur- ried to dispose of MT. Monk.
 He made vicious gestures at him, gestures which had made the walt CTS tremble and shake many a time. But the monkey only chattered and laughed. The waiter ran for MT. shan ley, and in few minutes the pro- prietor and his corps of high-salaried and dignihed assistants were chasing the monkey around the room.
 "Is there an Italian in the house Y' yelled Shanley.
 Get a hand organ and lure him down." shouted an old customer.
 '"Try to look like a cocoanut," sug- gested another.
 The situation had reached the de- lirious stage when Ellie Fay, the vaudeville artist, said:
 "IIe doesn't like cocoanuts, or hand organs, or Italians. He likes sugar."
 What do you know about monkeys?s ?s blurted Shanley, trying to button his collar up again.
 well, you see. he's my monkey"
 Ellie whistled. Down came the prow- Ter, and then Ellie and her monkey faded out into the lights of Broad way.
 Can you beat it?" asked the shan leyites.

In This Enlightened Age

'Tt is unfortunate that in this day of en- ngntenment prejudice. If not ignorance. should beget views that are narrow and illiberal." said a prominent citizen. Too often we hear men speak of foreigners. say of Italians, Greeks, Savs and Rus sians. as being united for citizenship.
 "Longwills Melting Pot was a timely suggestion and should give us pause for thought and better judgment. AS one instance among many that might be cited I note that Attorney Louis Dambitz Brandies Cborn in Louisville, Ky of Hun garian Jewish parentage). who repre- sents a number Of shipping concerns in the freight rate increase hearing being conducted before the interstate commerce commission, is representing those interests without compensation. According to report from Washington he now offers to advise the various railroad interests without charge how millions may be saved in adopting scientific methods in the management of railways, all this because of his appreciation of service in behalf of our common good.
 We of Anglo-Saxon extraction should be more modest and not arrogate to our selves as possessing in a higher degree than other races or creeds the best ele- ments that make for patriotism, altruism and the higher views of life.
 "As long as the terms 'Daso,' 'Sheeny' and Dutch are used as they are. so long our religion and education are mar row and cramped.'

"sren Without the Dime.

'"The recent severe cold weather has revealed the fact that there are many men in this great city without the dime ' said a business man.
 "on my way home last night I vas accosted twice. and in each case the applicant seemed worthy. One of them said he had slept out the previous night and had the appearance of being a-man who would earn his lodgings if given the chance The other was a young man of good address who stated he had walked in from one of the suburbs, where he had been in search of work. It seems to me that some provision should be made for this class of men,. who are temporarily down and out, as Is the case in nearly every large city. Men are at tracted here from distant states and we are bound to get our share of the army of unemployed. I believe the truest char ity consists in helping man to help himself. and many of those who are stranded would be glad of the opportuni- ty to earn bed and breakfast if given the chance"

THE YOSEMITE


 From the New York World
 Maj. William W. Forsyth, Sixth caval- ", is the overlord of the Yosemite Ma tlonal park. He knows his job. The 19c troopers under his command during tho forest fire season, when tourists and campers are at their worst, are kept busy guarding this magnificent public possession. They patrol wide and diff cult range of country. Incidentally they have broken the pleasant old habit Of holding up the Yosemite stage coaches It Is 79 miles from Merced to Fl Portal, where the stages go on 15 miles more 10 the valley. The railroad charges 10 cents a mile each way. The trip is worth It. The stages charge s5 for the round journey of 30 miles. Round trips from San Francisco, 2So miles away from El Tovar, cost but S22.S5. Such are the mysteries of railroading.
 There are no dogs in the park and re- gently the cats were expelled. They took 10 hunting the splendid gray squirrels that thrive around the acorn-bearing oaks and their more modest cousins. the ground sqirrels, instead of dealing with
 
 so Major Forsyth decreed their banish- ment. The ground squirrel is a brisk little chap, quite different from the east ern chipmunk. He Is spotted gray. with white collar that never looks quite clean. He frisks about everywhere and poses coquettishly on the rocks as the stage rattles by. The black and cinna- mon bears come freely into the valley to feed on the refuse from the hotel and camps. They harm no one. The deer also peep in timidly at times. After all, should there not be some place open to others than man and his captives?
 The road up the Merced river to the valley is one of the dustiest on earth. Major Forsyth has conquered 1t by in- stalling water pipes along the stream and setting a battalion of sprinklers at work They make the way tolerable. It looks odd, though, to see the great water wagons creaking through the mountains

1sTH CENTURY HoLLANDER

From Oliver Goldsmith on "Dutchmen.'
 The downright Hollander is one of the oldest figures in nature; upon head of lank hair he wears @ half-cocked nar- row hat laced with black ribbon; no coat but seven waistcoats and nine pairs of brooches; so that his hips reach almost up to his armpits. This well clothed vegetable is now fit to see company, or make love. But what 8 pleasing crea- turo is the object of his appetite! Why, she wears large fur cap with deal of Flanders lace, and for every pair of brooches he carries she puts on two pet ticoats.
