I find that Edgewood can be reached without crossing any railroad tracks and that by trolley car from the center of Bir- mingham.

In John Dalzell'S District

Dalzel may win reelection in Novem- Der because the opposition vote is to be divided. There is democratic nominee and Dr. Black is an independent and progressive republican candidate. The opposition vote will therefore be cast for either Black or the democratic nominee, and John Dalzel may therefore secure a plurality.
 No one thinks that the noted defender and framer of high tariffs can poll a majority vote in the Pittsburg district. but he may step back into his seat be- cause the opposition vote is to be di- vided
 The situation is unfortunate. The is- sue should be distinct, and there should be but one anti-Dalzell candidate. This seems to be impossible in state in which both parties are controlled by one boss Boies Penrose is that boss, and his senatorial term extends to 1915. He cannot be unseated, although many of the little bosses will be- Pennsylvania is full of discontent, and labor may get together in that state and present the | .;e,t, that that of Maine.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Seeks Relief From Politicians.


 GfVe us peace from the politician and agitation and the country will blos- som like the rose," are the words of Alex Ronnyman. general manager of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad He was in Birmingham yes terday with other officers of the com pany engaged In making an inspection of the local properties of the company. T think if Birmingha and the country in general were relieved of the political unrest we would pick up In a business way that can never be realized unless the politicians permit the- business people to get down to work without soaring us out of our wits. The only detrimental feature of the past summer has been this condi- tion. If we could only convince the politicians, who pose as the saviors of the country, how very costly their frights are to business, 1t would be a most glorious work"

.srhe canal shall never be blockaded, nor shall any right of war be exercised nor any act of hostility be committed within it. The United States. however, shall be at liberty to maintain such mili- tary police along the canal as may be necessary to guard against lawlessness and disorder"
 President Taft, who is a good lawyer, says the clause does not forbid fortifica- tions along the canal The United States agrees to guarantee the neutrality of the canal, and in order to do this fortifca- tions are needed. Considering the sub jeet by and large. this country no doubt has the right to defend to use the words of President Taft, the work upon which it is expending such enormous sums.

OLD HICKORY DAY sTIRs DEMO.
 CRAFTS

The Pittsburg Post, September 15.
 It was a happy inspiration to revive Old Hickory day. Thousands of dem ocrats gathered at Kennywood park yes- terday to felicitate over the approaching victories, to welcome and listen to the candidates upon the state ticket, and to enjoy an ox-roast and revel generally on an early fall day out of doors. With the triumph in Maine exhilaratng every body present, and the renewed hope of freeing this commonwealth from its long persistent blight of bossism and corrup- tion there was unf1agging elation.
 Representative Underwood of Birming ham, Ala. the Pittsburg of the south, discussed the steel tariff as one master of his subject Then Senator Webster Grim the candidate for governor, talked on true consefvation and exposed the neglect to obey the law authorizing the purchase of forest lands at the Ohio headwaters, which would have sensibly diminished our floods. His showing of the incompetency of the forestry bureau deserves the thoughtful attention of voters. Messrs. Greevy, Blakslee and Phison, the other candidates, spoke upon various state issues and the tariff. The labor record of MT. Tener was reviewed. These speeches should be read by every intelligent man who wishes to cast an honest ballot.
 Nobody could mistake the spirit of the assembage. There is victory in the air, and it can develop even here in Pennsyl- vania. By well-directed effort, and with the aid of decent republicans. nauseated with the continuance of Penroseism the redemption of this once proud common wealth Is not hopeless, nor visionary. What is needed is that reputable citizens who desire this cleasing of the state should vote effectively, and not scatter their ballots. Therein lies the only hope for the renewal of the lease of cor rupt cabal.

ESSEN AND ACTORS
Eccentric Playwright Had Strong Dis
 like for Stagefolk

From the New York Evening Post.
 Ibsens we'll known aversion, or at least indifference, to theatre folk is the tn eme of an article contributed by his friend. John Paulsen, to a Norwegian newspaper. the Tidens Tegn. Once when Paulsen was with Ibsen at an inn in Berch tesgaden, they made the acquaintance of a Berlin pastor and German-American actor. The pastor was decidedly uninteresting, whereas the actor was good companion; but Ibsen avoided him almost ostentatious- ly, while he treated the clergyman with marked affability.
 On another occasion, in 1880, Paul. sen. sitting with his friend in a Munich cafe, suggested going to the theatre across the street to hear Charlotte Wolter in Emilia Galotti." The emil nent playwright looked at him over his spectacles with an expression of surprise, shook his head took a sip of beer, and continued reading his newspaper, Paulsen endeavors to ex plain this attitude by recalling the years when Ibsen was regisseur in a Christiania theatre. during which he had little leisure for writing, all his time being taken up with drilling the actors and actresses, most of them me- diocrities. Actors being. moreover, imitators by profession and seldom ctr indfuidtsa1ifiac Ind ence, it is suggested by Paulsen, may have had its root partly in his passion for pronounced Individuality.

QUIET GRACE

From Tit Bits.
 MT. Blobbs dined the other evening with some friends. When the guests were seated the host bent his head and began speaking in subdued tone
 "Eh, what's that?" demanded Blobbs, who sat beside him. and who Is rather deaf.
 The host smiled patiently and began again in a louder tone.
 Speak a little louder; I don't catch what you say" Blobbs persisted.
 A low ripple of laughter went round the table The host, his face crimson with embarrassment raised his voice still higher. The poor old man did his best to hear, but failed
 What did you say?" he demanded, irascibly.
 The host cast him an angry glance. Dang 1t, I'm saying grace" he yelled.

WHEN YOU ARE OLD

By w. B. Yates. When you are old and gray and full of
 sleep,
 And noddng by the fire, take down
 this book, And slowly read. and dream of the soft
 look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows
 deep: r How many loved your moments of glad
 grace. And loved your beauty with love false
 or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in
 you, And loved the sorrow of your changing
 face. And bending down beside the glowing
 bars,
 Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled And passed upon the mountains over Y head, And hid his face amid crowd of stars.

NO WEDDING PRESENTS

From the Wide World Magazine.
 In Hungary wedding presents are only given to poor couples to help them get their home together The girl friends of the brides show attention by making cakes of various kinds to be partaken of at the marriage feasts. Other gifts there are none. And this is custom that one could wish were more general. There is no wedding cake, either, as we under stand it, but each guest receives kind of sweet cake of the substance of crack nel biscuits made in the form of a ring about 10 inches in diameter.

American Cotton Bills Alter October

The European bankers say that cot ton bills of lading against which drafts are drawn must be guaranteed by American bankers and the American bankers join the issue by saying that "out of the question:" This" they say. lis final"
 American cotton bills will be ac- guarantee until October S1. but what will be the standing of such bills after that time remains to be developed.
 The American bankers have declared ''off' all negotiations looking to a set tlement of the contention. They do not propose to send committee to Lon don. and they have none there at present The only form of compromise they hold out Is found in their state ment that they would welcome in New York a deputation of London bankers, where railway and cotton people could be heard
 It is scarcely probable that the Flu ropean bankers will do this, and yet every spindle in Europe will soon cry out, so to speak, for American cotton, and in England alone there are twice as many spindles as there are in this country.
 The farmer who cannot carry his bales should sell them before October 31 and those that he can carry should be confidently held until the Euro pean bankers get over the anger that grew out of the failures in Decatur and in Mississippi.
 But the impression grows that the financing of export bills of lading will never be satisfactorily adjusted until
  !, the railroads themselves guarantee the \ bills of lading that they issue. Why should they not guarantee what they can control? Every railroad should consider itself responsible for the acts of its own agents. They should se- < lect agents that can be trusted and when they sign export bills of lading. Railroad responsibility is the true solu- ton of the present contention between bankers on either side of the sea. It is unreasonable to ask American bank CTS to guarantee bills of lading that the railroads should guarantee because the latter alone issue them. As the law now stands the railroad that has Issued bill of lading is not respon- sible if 1t can show that the cotton covered by the bill was not delivered \ to its agent. The validating plan Fbuld not change the law. Anything X Mort of acknowledgement of absolute < Responsibility by a railroad for any
 N of lading issued by it will prove Satisfactory.

Iron Market Improving

The pig iron market is improving. Extreme dullness, due chiefly to over production, has extended over such a long period that iron companies are still accustomed to refer to the market as inactive, but as a matter of fact considerable tonnage has been con- tracted for recently; and conditions to- day compared with three or four weeks ago are very decidedly improved. Prices are stiffening slowly but surely. Mat thew Addy & Co.'S report says:
 The distinctive feature of the mar ket Is large inquiry for forward de- livery from big consumers. One of the southern Ohio steel companies is asking for 25,000 tons of basic for shipment over the first half of next year. Several pipe shops are inquiring for round lots and there Is also more interest being shown by the smaller melters who, up to this time, have only been buying in a beggarly, handto- mouth fashion. So things are encour- aging and promising in the prospects for future business. Prices are at the bottoHl. or SIX or seven Neehs HOW there has been a terrific and contin- nous but unavailing hammering by con- sumers to force quotations to a lower level. As a matter of actual fact there can be no lower prices made by the furnaces except at a heavy loss. The market is down to skin and bone.
 Business this week has shown real improvement in volume. Sales have been larger and they have been scat tered In this market several fairly large lots have been closed and also one lot of 1S,00o tons of pipe iron"

He is the travel ing representative of one of the largest machinery houses In Chicago and Is in Rirmingh in connection with that company. He said yesterday that bus mess was from all indications open ing up for the holidays and the general impression seemed 10 be that every thing will be busy this fall.
 Business, I think, is very much bet ter than for several months past" said Mir. Harahan, "and I look for still greater improvement this fall. The financial interests are somewhat lag gard about putting out new money but there seems to be a great amount of work going on that bids fair to keep the country pretty busy during the winter"

MT. Talt'S InglOrlOuS Surrender

when President Taft declared at Winona that the Adrch tariff is the best ever devised he started on the down. ward road to unpopularity and defeat. When he capped his Winona speech with a policy that shut out from federal pa- tronage Senators LaFollette, Bristow, Deliver and Cummins and many mem- bers of Congress. his doom, humanly speaking, was sealed.
 He is striving to escape condemnation by a Surrender that saves his face. He admits now that the best-ever tariff, al- though but a year old, needs piecemeal revision, and Secretary Norton now writes that federal patronage will be re- stored to insurgents even to Senator La. Toilette and Representative Murdock and nll others "of whatever shade of public opinion

Every Alabamlan a Landowner

In Colonel O'Neal's opening cam paign speech at Eufaula Is a timely warning to native Alabamians to se- cure a slice of the state as a home while lands are low priced. A great influx of immigration is inevitable in the course of the next ten years. The farmers of the middle west who have been seeking new homes in the frozen wilds beyond Winnipeg will soon come to an appreciation of the climate and soil of Alabama. They may harbor color prejudice and even civil war prejudices, but time and circumstances will overcome these prejudices and then they will pour into the south in one great desirable stream of lmmi- grafton.
 There Is no safer or better invest ment," said Colonel O'Neal at Eufaula,
 
 for our families or for posterity than an Alabama farm I wish to see all our people landowners. If they wait till the great bodies of our saleable lands go into the hands of corporations or wealty owners they will permit the golden opportunity to pass. They who fail to acquire lands now or In the near future will have no alternative but to abandon the farms.
 "The wonderful wealth and prosper tracted the attention of every student of government It Is conceded to be largely due to the fact that the great mass of her people are owners of land. That state alone can reach the highest development where the owners of the farms live on the farms There is no reason why man In Alabama should seek fortune in distant states or for eign lands; wealth and power are at our very door. Our cheap agricultural lands invite every man seeking em- ploymentf to wealth and fortune. No occupation is more profitable or of fers such opportunities for success, when aided by intelligence, skill and industry, than cultivating the soil.
 "It was her rural population in ante bellum days that gave the old south her marvellous prosperity and power. The drift of our population away from the farm which followed the civil war Is about over, and 1t is a hopeful sign that our people recognize the import ance of encouraging the growth of our rural population by making life on the farm more attractive. Better schools and school buildings and bet ter systems of public roads will large ly solve the problem"
 This Is the best of advice and the best possible programme for the up- building of the state. Already lands in this state have been doubled in value and every Alabamian should se cure a farm before they are doubled again, before they get beyond the reach of the man of modest means. Colonel ONeal's farm progra mme is based on climate and soil on the one hand. and on good schools and good roads on the other. It is altogether sound and ad- mirable.
