PRIMARY EFFECTS.

Primary effects of the meat-absti-
nence agreements appear in various
cities. 1t is noticeable too, that some
Of the most marked declines are on
staples not included in the self-deny-
ing ordinance. In Chicago there has
been Il reduction ON one or two cents
in pork products and the better grades
of beef cuts. and also in the price of
cattle. But there are equal or larger
drops in the prices of butter, eggs ana
potatoes. New York also reports re-
auctions in milk, butter and eggs,
while meat dropped from twenty to
twenty-five per cent. Pittsburg shares
with other cities lowering of six
cents OH butter
While the latter instance is declared
by the trade to be due to other causes.
and is not included in the popular
agreement, it is quite probable that
the popular rising has had an initial
effect OH staples outside the letter of
the abstinence compact. In other
words, combinations in food articles
are enough afraid OF the popular in
dignation to make concessions that
they nope will stave off trouble. SO
far then there seems to be something
accomplished
But Will the tendency last. Will
the combinations give up entirety or
will they yield enough to still the pop
Mlar clamor and when the thing is
partly forgotten screw it up again?
1t is instructive to remember that the
similar protest against tie advance
in the price of milk a little more than
I! year ago only put it off year.
The real Importance OF what has
been termed the meat strike is that it
has enforced barriers to free supply
and demand. There has been too
mach tendency among the people to
think that combination to put up
prices is all right if it pays higher
wages to it's worhmen. The public is
beginning to see by experience that
for trust TO pay it's wOrkmen. say
ST ,000,OM more wages. and to levy
<5.OOo,Vm Oh the whole people in
higher prices, leaves the working
masses in ME lurch. The present sit
1lation is largely, though by no means
exclusively. the result of the tolera-
tions Of that leresav.
If the public wish to work out Il
permanent remedy they must make
their organization reach further. Let
them use their united political power
to ensure t;lat men convicted of COM
binations to arbitrarily enhance the
cost of life shall get Il punishment
that will stop the thing. Let them
substitute foi the temporary boycott
a permanent agreement to pat rOniZe
dealers and slaughterers who will buy
cattle in free markets and sell III COM
petition with the trusts. Work along
this line will yield more lasting re-
suits than siNty-day terms Of fasting
from meat.

MOVER BRITISH POLITICS.

y great pnwblem cOntrOnts the lib
erals if they prove successful in the
coming ELECTORAL contest in Great
Britain. The question Is how to get
through both hsses~s of parliament
bill that will taa&a away from the
lords their power of veto on finance
measures. 1t is certain that, cOnsti-
tuted us the house of lords now is, it
will never consent to- such usnrpa-
ton of its real or supposed preroga-
tive. If such bill be Not passed, the
last state will be worst than the first.
How, then, compass tdis end in view?
MANY schemes have been prOpounded
some Of them exceedingly chimerical
and far-fetched. There is one, how
ever, which has sprung full tiedged
from the brain Of an Irish member OF
parliment, who is also ~ lawyer and
an authority OH con ,titsvtional ques-
tiOns. This plan is said to be receiv-
ing earnest attention from the liberal
leaders. 1t combines tine merit of
simplicity with the daring Of novelty,
1t appears that it is only certain
peers that have the statutory right to
writ 0summons to attend parli-
ment. These are three bishops, four
law lords, the sixteen hereditary
peers of Scotland who are elected to
each parliment, and the twenty eight
hereditary or created peers Of Ireland
who are elected for life. This would
make total Of tifty-one as against
the GO0-Odd who ut present form the
house of lords. For the purpose OF
making any enactment "by the kings
most excellent majesty by and with
the advice and consent ct the lords
spiritual and temporal and commons
in this present par!iment assembled,
and by the authority of the same,''
only a quorum of either house is re-
quired. Now, while quorum Of the
house of commons is forty that OF the
house Of lords is only three, and, az
cortlingly, any difficulty Oh that head
is avoided, provided even a small pro-
portion of the fifty one vat in al-
pearance.
There is, however, the possibility
that, through resentment, they all
might stay away, or that, il they did
attend, they might not pass bill TAX
ing away power from their own order.
TO meet either Of those not unlikely
cases, 1t is suggested that writs Of
summons should be sent to tifty-two
liberal lords known to- be in full SYM
patly with the claims Of the con-
mons. III this way the quorum would
be certain to be always on hand, and
sufficient voting power to insure the
passing of any bill sent up from the
house Of commons. Thus, too, the
distastful necessity Of creating
whole batch of 5lN or 600 new peers
would be avoided.
The lords veto Oh finance treasures
once taken. away by statute, it would
be difficulty to- reinstate it even should
IA future house Of commons possess a
majority OF tories, and i: it were re-
instated., A0 liberal leader with a ma
| jOrity behind him need undertake to
form I'LL administration until he Sc
cured u restoration OF the status quo
ante.
| ALL THIS seems an amazing PROPOSE
ton. but we understand that it is be-
ing seriously considered. Should it
be psst in iorce, it will be IL most ill.,
teresting constitutional experiment.

end in divorce is merely additional proof of
the innate decency of the American Girl.
Is it true that American women browbeat
and abuse their husbands? American men
are, l think, becoming more ernanc1pated
every day. Many Congressman, | under
stand, frame the nations laws without in
structions from their wives, which, If true,
is certainly an important step toward per-
sona1 liberty among American husbands.
More than the Peace Fleet or the Panama
Canal or the Trust Bust, our militant ex
President deserves credit for inspiring in
every household the idea of Masterful
Man. Every House Father is aroused to-day
and many can pronounce Dee-lighted.' in
such way that the women folks shake and
tremble as they fade away to the sewing

American Husband has not always been
boss of his establishment; not the loud,
cart tail type of boss, but the silent, calCu-
lating kind who works unseen. As | shall

 1T. E. Boykin Dies

Selma, July 9.-(Special)-The people of Centreville have taken the first steps in the building of the projected railroad from this city to the Birmingham dis trlct.
 A letter received here from State Sen ator II. E. Reynolds of Bibb countr is to the effect that papers incorporating what will be known as the Birmingham, Selma and Pensacola railroad have been fled.
 The people of Centreville are also taking a large amount of stock in the road which the Suttles-Weaver Lumber company is building to Heidelberg, Perry county, and which road will come to within about 15 miles of this city. This lumber company already has eight miles of railroad in op- eration in Bibb county and the extension of the 15 miles to Heidelberg has already been contracted for.
 In his letter Senator Reynolds states that the people of Centreville would like 50 have a conference which those citizens of this city who are interested in the building of the proposed railroad A con- ference will no doubt be arranged for at an early date.

Farmers who visit Bessemer are in a very pessimistic frame of mind and they expect the rain to continue some time longer The depression that Is be- ing felt by the farmers is making it. self felt in Bessemer and those who understand conditions sympathize greatly with them.
 For the past three weeks there has been shower nearly every evening and the ground has been soaked thoroughly every day. Much of the corn has been beaten down and is rotting on the ground. Cotton Is in the same condition The weather has also been hard on the truck gardenerA and the cabbage, beans ana potatoes have been severely damaged.
 .'We farmers have had a hard year" said D. A. Hopper, who owns farm in the lower end of the county. "In the first place, the winter was one of the most peculiar that l ever saw. Late in hthe winter we had a very warm spell This lasted several weeks and then it turned of very cold. The cold killed a good deal of the fruit and some had be- gun planting. They were forced to re- plant in almost every case. When sum mer comes we first have q very dry spell and then unprecedented rains.

 Tn Birmingham Yesterday
By WALTER HARPER.

F. H. Vernon of Fayette has been spending a few days in Birmingham on business. MT. Vernon is manager for the Fayette oil and Fertilizer company, and is one of the public spirited citizens of the progressive West Alabama town.
 When the Fayette Business Mems hague was organized few weeks ago MT. Vernon was made chairman of the committee appointed to look after the securing of new industries for the town.
 He has taken up the duties imposed in him industriously and hopes to see some practical results In the very near future.
 While we desire small manufacturing enterprises we shall also devote consid- erable time and energy in trying to de- velop the truck-gardening possibilities in the country surrounding Fayette," said MT. Vernon.
 I've have every advantage for the suc- cessful growing and marketing of fruits and vegetables. Our soils are admirably adapted to the growing of all kinds of vegetables usually found in this climate, and there Is no reason why Fayette should not become one of the best and most profitable markets for this line of products in the state. Our shipping facil- tiles are excellent. Lands at present are remarkably cheap in the Fayette section, and every effort possible will be made to secure thrifty and industrious truck far mers to come among us and develop this industry.
 We are in a fair way to secure a num- Der of small industries that should add greatly to the business and industrial ac- tivity to Fayette. Gas will be piped into the town from the wells that have been brought in about two miles from town and plenty of gas will be available for manufacturing purposes as well as for do- nestle use."
 The rapidly increasing number of au- tomobiles being purchased by the people in the small towns of the state not only indicates the growing prosperity of the people, but also means much for the i'm provement of the roads, said A. A. Grif- fifth of Cullman, who spent two or three days in Birmingham this week.
 There are more than dozen good au- tomobles owned by business and profess sional men in Culman There was not machine in town two years ago. Most of these have been bought during the past year.
 "The automobile always demands an inn proevemnt of the foads. It interests the of the country highways. The farmers, who are to be most benefited by good roads. are getting very much interested,
