represent that Salem is a very in
iquitous city, and that our young
people are going to the bad in a
hand basket. But recall the record
of the Salem company of the Oregon
National Guard at American Lake.
There were about 100 companies
there, and the Salem company not
only never had a man appear on
drill in any degree of intoxication,
and not man of them ever got into
the guardhouse, and they were COM

young men came from this city so
severely condemned by the purifica-

Direct Primaries and An Income Tax

The machine in New York was repudi- ated just when it felt most joyful and triumphant It had long dreaded Gov ernor Hughes and when he accepted a seat on the supreme bench the machine saw nothing but undisputed control ahead. They had, however, reckoned without the ex-President, who did not return until June. Their hopes began to dwindle as soon as he began to talk, and the battle between him and the ma chine .culminated on Tuesday in the con- plete overthrow of the machine. MT Roosevelts inborn combativeness was at the bottom of the contention, for, as Col Abe Gruber showed at Saratoga the colonel had, in connection with E. H. Hartman, been harnessed up with cor porate special interests.
 The victory of MT. Roosevelt by no means determines the election in No vembsr. The platform of the two par

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
In Splendid shape

The work Of installing exhibits at the fair is far in advance of that of previous years" said President J. H Holcombe, and by Saturday night nearly everything will be in place.
 The fair opens October 6-next Thursday-at 9:3o a. m., but we could open Monday. I consider this matter of having all the exhibits installed be- fore the opening date quite an achieve ment It is certainly something to the credit of Birmingham.
 White the aeroplane will be great attraction for everybody, the fair as a whole will be far, ahead of anything of the kind ever seen in Alabama, or In the south as for that matter. We have a splendid agricultural exhibit and no end of amusement features. The music will be finer than ever; two superb bands-the Navassar concert band of 40 performers and Nappis military band of 20 performers.
 There is every indication of record breaking crowds at the fair. Birmlng- ham will turn out well; 1t always does. And all I urge on our own citizens Is that they make it point to attend on the opening day. A vast throng in at tendance next Thursday will have a stirring effect and will assure vast crowds every day"

It Will Be a Great Fair

The State fair opens a week from to- day. As excellent as was last years fair the one to be held this year will far sur pass it. It will be not only the greatest fair ever seen in Alabama but it will eclipse any similar attraction held any where in the south this year.
 Since the State fair became one of Bir- mingham's permanent institutions its Escope has been enlarged from year to year. The Advertisement features have come more and more into prominence and greater attention has been given to ag- riculturaI exhibits.
 In the earlier fairs few farm products were shown. It seemed difficult to arouse interest among the farmers. So poor, in- deed. were the live stock and crop dis plays that a visitor might have question ed Alabama's claims to being an agri- l cultural state. The fact Is that while one of Alabama's soubriquets has long been "The Cotton State," it is only with in the last three or four years that diver sified farming has been in sufficient evil dence to attract general attention or to make a. fine showing when compared with other agricultural states.
 This year Alabamas corn crop will to- tai about 7o.ooo.ooo bushers. There is a bumper hay crop and the trucking indus try has grown to be of great commercial importance. The orchards are yielding abundantly. In live stock Alabama Is fast coming to the front. The farmers are raising fine hogs and plenty of 'em. They are breeding good horses and good mules and some of the best COWS south of the Ohio river are those browsing in Alabama
 This is a banner crop year In this state, and 1t is estimated that the gross money value of Alabama's farm products will be between s40ooo,oo0 and s5o,o0o.oo0 in ex- cess of any previous year. With such showing it might be taken as matter of course that agriculture would be well dis played at the fair next week. Most of the exhibits are already on the grounds. and it Is known now that more than one county will make a bigger show than the entire state made at the fair five years ago.
 There will be all manner of up-to-date demonstration devices seen here this year and no farmer in Alabama imbued with the spirit of progress can afford to miss the fair

ties will be entrusted and So will their tendencies and circumstances and condi- tions. The voters of the populous state care but little this year for party lines and they can be trusted to select the men who stand with most efficiency for direct primaries and an income tax MT Roosevelt said not a word In his key note speech concerning the proposition to place some part of the national tax burden on superfiuous wealth instead of collecting it directly from the rank and file in the custom houses and in license taxes. The special interests planned the present system of federal taxation. The income tax is really one of the great issues before the people of New York; and when both conventions have spoken it will not be difficult on the part of the everyday mansto distinguish between the two tlckeis.

HOTEL GRANDEUR
Landlord of Waldorf Led Way To Mod.
 ern Luxury in Hostelries

From September Hampton's.
 The hotel patronizing public owes George C. Boldt considerable debt. for until he won over William Waldorf Astor to his way of thinking. sumptuousness was not factor to be anticipated by the arriving guest accustomed to the commonplace cry of front Disregard ing established custom, MT. Boldt de- termined. in 1891. to promote hotel Tux ury' right over the head of hotel ''neces- sity," and he has long since discovered that it can be made to pay.
 Ever since the success of hotel opera ton extraordinary" ever since MT. Boldt proved that there Is profit in luxury, there have been scores of luxurious hos telries built and successfully operated in every part of the United States. They are all more or less patterned after the Waldorf-Astoria and many even surpass the original in sumptuousness of appoint ment and advanced conveniences.
 George c. Boldt came to America from Rugen, Germany, in 1871, at the age of straghtway lost in a chicken and duck farm in Texas A little later he was dish-carrying omnibus in second-class New York restaurant situated at Broad way and Thirty-fourth street. Twenty years afterward MT. Boldt sat at the managerial desk of the finest hotel in christendom, where he was soon receiv- ing half million dollars a year as sal ary and earned profits. Today, the ablest hotel operator living is relaxing in the content of thoroughly won leisure. with a private fortune several times the desired $1 100000.
 Tn 1902, after the departure from Amer lea of Prince Henry, MT. Boldt was dec- orated by Kaiser Wilhelm with the Crown order of the fourth class. MT. Boldt owns magnificent home on Hearts Island. in Alexandria Bay, among the Thousand Islands which is one of the show places of that section, and there he always spends his summers. Mrs Boldt died in 1905 Two children, Mrs. Alfred Miles and George Boldt Jr., are still living.

Mayor Gaynor Out of the Race

Tomorrow the democratic convention of New York will be assembled at Roches- ter, and it will have before 1t the rec ord of the republicans made at Sara toga. The candidates and the platform of the republicans will be weighed and sifted before the democratic convention meets.
 Nor is this all. Mayor Gaynor has ab- solutely withdrawn his name from the consideration of the convention. Under no circumstances will he accept a nom- ination for governor Despite all the enemies he has made he could have se- cured the nomination, but he says he will not abandon tossther fate the splendid men whom he has appointed to office in New York city, and he further says he of New York after a service of but nine months.
 There are other available men in the democratic party in New York, and as the convention is to be held in Rochester 1t becomes plain that Congressman James s. Havens, who beat Boss Aldridge last spring>in the Rochester district, stands where the gubernatorial lightning may strike him. He has become well-known throughout the state. He is fine law yer, a progressive democrat, and man of high character. He may become the standard bearer of the democratic party in campaign that is full of promise This is a democratic year, even way down in Maine, and it almost certainly will prove to be one in New York

What an Open CoOSa Means

The Alabama river is at low water ,,arL but still the steamer of the Mont. gomery merchants is able to bring IT tow three barges loaded to capacity with freight. And yet there are but three feet of water in the channel-just half of what will be provided the year round bv a system of locks in the Warrior. If three feet of water will serve the people along the Alabama river, six feet will surely meet the demands of this district.
 The barge line of the merchants of Montgomery is so successful demand has arisen for its extension to Rome, Ga. This calls for the installation of a series of locks over 75 miles of rapids north of wetumpka, and the government will be asked to build these locks.
 Not only would trade along the river  to navigation, but the falls of the Coosa could at the same time be made to yield enough horse powers of electrical en- ergy to drive a world of machinery. This is Montgomerys dream, and every bit of 1t may yet come true-come to be actual throbbing real fact. The falls are there and so is the water, and when the dams are built that water and it's falls can be utilized.
 Let us hope Montgomery's dream will come true, for 1t would build up indus tries in the heart of the state, while opening a great valley to barge lines. Speed the coming of the necessary locks and dams

For ten years this would be over 100 per cent.

youth and old age, 34 are represented by these paintings. Of 1632, the great year of ''The Lesson In Anatomy" we have nine canvases. Many of the other years are represented by two or three or four paintings. There are 51 signed and 46 are also dated. Almost all the others can with assurance be assigned to their re- spective years.
 The tendency to gather Rembrandt's work into public galleries is an encour- aging sign of the times About 43 per cent of his known paintings are now thus protected. For them the danger of being further hawked about the world for the highest bid is past Of the Flu ropean nations rich in Rembrandts, Great Britain. the richest has the few est behind the strong doors of her mu- seums. Since one-third of her wealth in Rembrandts is not thus protected, her "spoliation" Is likely to continue for years to come France makes a better showing. She has two-fifths of her paintings in safe keeping Russia possesses only 54 Rembrandts, yet, to her everlasting credit. 43 are in public gall leries. Germanys record Is, however, even more commendable, for of her 120 paintings by Rembrandt 93 are perma- nently on exhibition, not crowded into a single gallery. as are 70 of Russias but well scattered throughout the empire.

MAN HAS RUBBER STOMACH
His Appetite Is Iso Hearty and He Eats Great Deal

From the Fulton Daily Leader.
 The man with the rubber stomach Is the latest arrival in Fulton. This stranger, whose name has not been officially an- nounced, halls from the vicinity of May field. The stranger is said to have once been an employe of the Barnum & Bailey circus, and but for his appetite he might still be connected with the show. When the stranger arrived in Fulton he went to Rob Morris restaurant and ordered sup per. Before he had finished eating s1.1o worth of grub had disappeared from the view of the curious onlookers. In the morning he went to Smith & Roach's cafe for breakfast. Fearing that their guest would over-tax his stomach, the proprie- tors protested against him eating so much and in disgust the man left the place.
 At noon he again dropped in to the Nor ris restaurant. Without stopping for rest, of $1.70 worth of food.
 His dinner consisted of four orders of hot cakes, with one quart of syrup and a half-pound of butter eight glasses of buttermilk, one order of ham, one pork sandwich. two eggs. two pieces of pie. four bottles of soda pop, and almost a whole loaf of bread. A liberal coat of salt was sprinkled over everything the man ate. After paying his bill at the restaur- ant the man strolled into the cafe of Lewis & Tucker and~celled for an ice cream soda. When that was disposed of the human campbelr' called for another of a different flavor and continued to re- peat the dose until ten sodas had been drunk, whereupon he changed his "med- icine" and ate a saucer of ice cream stranger drink 1t and nonchalantly stroll ed out of the cafe, followed by the bulg- ing eyes of the wonderstruck onlookers. who were in deadly fear of terrific ex- plosion when the man began walking.
 At last accounts the stranger, who 's a man of medium size and of rather slen- der build, was alive.
 Later-A report from the landlady of boarding house at Wingo has just reached here. This report says that a stranger answering the description of the man now in Fulton stopped at her house one day this week. He said he was in hurry for his supper and she invited him into the house. The guest kept asking for more provisions and before he had fin ished all the victuals which she had pre- pared for 16 boarders had disappeared and she was forced to cook supper again.

 One of the most interesting books about the Celestial empire Is the Rev. A H.

The book was written before the Japanese renaissance. The writer sees the only hope for the regeneration of China, but figures that the process will be slow This, he declares, should not be considered discouraging. It took 800 years to "Christianize" the Roman empire. he ob- serves, but forgets that the ''empire" vanished with the change. He gives China 500 years to yield to Christian in- fiuence, which is pretty cautious, even for a predestinarian.
