No child can be we'll and strong unless it's bowels move regularly every day at the same hour. Such regularity promotes good health. One passage is absolutely necessary, while two are not too many.
 There is one remedy that is especially adapted to the needs of children, and which thousands of American mothers are using today and that is Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, the great herb laxative compound. Its gentle action, so free from gripping, its tonic effects, and it's perfect purity, vouched for to the United States Government, makes it an ideal childrens laxative tonic
 Mrs. M. F. Cash. of Webb, Okla is an old-tlme friend of this wonderful child'S remedy and she says she could scarcely keep house without it. She became ac- Quainted with f through Dr. Caldwell's offer of free trial bottle. which she found so effective on her baby that she now always keeps it in the house. Mrs. K. l.. Stout of Louisville, Ky, also first used it in free sample, then bought 1t or her druggist at the regular price, which Is only 50 cents or $1 a bottle. It gave vigorous stomach. Where Dr. Caidwelrs Syrup Pepsin once finds its way into the home it makes a lifelong friend. They soon discard salts, pills and powders.

DISTRICT REPUDIATED BY ASSO- CLAYTON FOR SIGNING lNDI-
 VIDUAL CONTRACTS.
OWNERS TO WAGE FIGHT
Attack on ConstiutonaIity of Shot firer's Law Is Next Move Miners See End of
 Strike.

Chicago, May 30.-An aggressive fight against striking Illinois miners was begun by the Coal Operators as sociation. The work of distributing copies of the proposed contract of fered by the operators to the strikers in every mining town in the state was started and measures for an attack on law are being drawn up. At a meet ing the operators in the Belleville dis trict, who signed individual contracts Wednesday with the miners, were ex- pelled from membership.
 Resolutions declaring that there must be one contract for all or no con tract of any hnd were adopted.
 The association is to arrange for meetings with railroads, manufactur- CTS associations and other large con- sumers of coal to lay all the facts be- fore them.
 The most significant clause in the resolutions adopted provides:
 Former Advantages Threatened.
 That the miners of Illinois be giv- en a reasonable time in which to ac- cept a contract carrying with it the same advances accepted in Pennsyl- vania, Ohio Indiana and Iowa, pursu- ant to the demands of the National Convention, and that meanwhile the advisory committee be directed to for mulate competitive contract along the lines of the Indiana contract for adoption by the association in case it becomes advisable to withdraw the existing offer and take this offered op- portunity to correct the gross inequal- ities heretofore existing between this and the states east
 This clause means that if the oper- ators are successful in defeating the miners, some of the advantages which the men have enjoyed over other states during the last 10 years will be taken from them The differential be tween pick and machine mined coal will be increased by the operators from cents to IA cents, as in In diana, and the operators also will try to abolish the mine-run system ot wages In most of the other states the miners are paid only for coal that passes over a screen, while in Illinois the men are paid for the coal as it comes out of the mines.

Miners, Confident, See End of StriI

Miners, Confident, See End of Strike.
 Springfield, H., May 30.-Leaders of the state mine workers believe the Illinois suspension is nearing an end. Since 32 operators of southern Illinois signed up Wednesday the miners think their stock has taken ccnsid- erable rise.
 Half of the operators who signed up are claimed by the miners to be mem bers of the Illinois Operators associa- tion This has made the miners jubi- lant, as the association, rather than the independent operators, have been fighting the agreement insisted upon by the men.
 The operators to a man in the Springfield district refuse to believe there is any chance for the miners to win out.

MT. Stlmson's Fees and Example

Candidate stimson was an United States district attorney at a salary of slo,ooo a year, and Wade H. Ellis was an as- sistant attorney general at a salary of s7ooo. Both resigned, and the Springfield Republican intimates that both 'held up" the government For MT. Stimson was at once retained to finish the sugar trust and Morse cases which he had carried on under salary of s1o.ooo. and he re- ceived instead of a fee of nearly ESQ., GOO. Mir Ellis was retained after his resignation to conduct the Standard oil cases, and his fee will no doubt be large. "The point" says the Springfield Repub- lican, lis that in both cases a govern ment salaried position was used and re- signed in such a way as to compel or in duce the government to pay for larger sums of money for the performance of certain WOrk puTpOSeiy ielt unCofHpicteu.
 When the facts are made known In New York MT. Stimson will not escape cen- sure. The Springfield Republican is by no means democratic paper. and 1t says: 'Tt Is easy to see how the govern ment or the public treasury would suffer if the example here set should be gen. orally followed by United States district attorneys and assistant attorneys gen. eraI. Either Mir. Stimson should not have resigned when he did, or he should have insisted as special counsel in the un- completed cases, in receiving only what he would have been paid had he remained at his official post"

has been surprised by the census show ing, and Mayor Jones Is quoted as say ing: Last February stated before the Chamber of Commerce that I believed the census would run to 125,000 but I was pleasantly surprised by the grand total which has been announced"
 Birmingham has run ahead of num- Der of southern cities which were regard ed as formidable rivals 10 years ago. It has distanced Richmond, Charleston, Sa- vannah San Antonio, Houston, Coving- ton. Dallas. Augusta. Mobile and prob- ably Nashville. It was below all these cities in 1900, whereas in 1910 it moves up in the company of cities like Mem phis and Atlanta. So far as percentage Of increase Is concerned, 1t is not prob- able that any southern city, big or llt- tie, hereafter to be announced, will ap- proach anywhere close to the high mark set by Birmingham.
 Birmingham's growth Is due mainly to it's important manufacturing industries. In recent years there has been great ex- pansion in industrial and commercial lines. and this has naturally brought great increase in population. The annex ation of seven manufacturing suburbs was an inevitable result of the city's growth. Greater Birmingham, the state of Alabama and the entire south are to be congratulated by reason of the extra ordinary record that has been made.

idea then prevailed there, and is likely still held, that free Cuban ore would build up rival industrial town on the Gulf or South Atlantic coast, but MT. DeBardeleben did not entertain. that fear.
 Cuban ores are as low in phosphate as those of the Lake Superior region. and could be brought to Birmingham at as little cost as the Lake Superior ores are carried to Pittsburg if they did not have to pay duty.
 But depending solely on it's native sup plies of red hemitite, Birmingham must of necessity be great industrial center, and Its marvellous growth of the last de- cade will likely continue in the decade to come. still, it is seldom that indus trial centers are also great commercial centers. Other cities of the south have no more to fear from Birmingham rival ry than Liverpool has to fear from Bir- mingham and other industrial centers of interior England, or Cleveland, that has by the last census come to be the sixth city in the Union. from Pittsburg. Nash vile and Birmingham are essentially different, and there is plenty of room for both of them to develop on the lines of their respective destinies. There Is no need for any jealousy or rivalry between the two

Crop Condition Below Normal

The department of agriculture puts the Der 25 at 659 as against 666, the aver age of the last 10 years The crop west of the river is in poor condition while the crop east of the river is fully up to the average condition of the date mem tioned. The coi.i iition of the Alabama crop Is put at 67, gain of point over the states 1o-year average.
 The figures of crop condition are not far from normal. but prices were ad- vanced on the figures. and 14-cent cotton in the south is now pretty well assured, for the prices of spot cotton will no doubt follow the speculative increases.
 The world begins to fear another short crop year-at least, year in which the crop will not exceed Il, 100000 bales. This would be a short crop following as it would crop of 1o,6oo,ooO bales. Two such American crops would meagerly supply the mills and the people of the world. It may be too early to estimate the crop, but the ease with which the price Is marked up shows that a good many peo- pie of large opportunities of observa- ton are expecting a crop below 100000

BIRMINGHAM'S HIGH RECORD

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal. TT is to be doubted If any city of the
 100000 class in the United States will A equal the record that has>been made by Birmingham in percentage of popu- lation increase.
 The census bureau finds that the pop ulation of Birmingham, according to the enumeration of 1910, is 132, ,6S5, gain Of 245.4 per cent over 1900, when the popula- ton was 3s,415. Annexation may account mingham Age-Herald makes the asser- ton that TO years ago had Birmingham covered the same acres which comprise Greater Birmingham, the census would have been little more than 3S, ,000." That being true, it must be conceded that Bir- mingham has experienced a marvellous growth.
 In 1871 Birmingham was a struggling village, occupied by few dozen families, which made up a total population of about 1000. In 1890 it had progressed to a promising city of 2e.17s. The rate of growth from 1890 to 1900 was by no means phenomenal, but in the succeeding 10 years Birmingham has leaped into the 100000 class, and has made a long step toward the 100000 goal. As a result, It's citizens are hilariously joyful and are making predictions of new high record every year. and ofa population approx imating 30o,0oo in 1920. The city itself

On 10 Key West

The East Coast railway will be com ,leted to Key West in the next six lonths. Already the work of construc- ion has reached the key or island upon which the city of Key West is located and no effort will be spared to complete he railroad early next year. This will pen up every part of Florida to immi- ration and it will enable Key West to ct ready for the opening of the Panama canal. Key West will be the nearest Iofnt on the mainland to the canal, and very much shipping going to and from the canal will pass close to it. More will perhaps pass through the windward pas age or other passages east of Cuba, but still Key West will be kept in touch with Uncle Sam's new canal.
 No development in the south is more Interesting than the extension of the rail- .oad system to Key West MT. Flagler is pushing the enterprise to completion, and is destined to play an important part I the course of events that will follow the opening of the canal. All ports of the south will be brought in touch with the worlds trade when that canal is opened, and this district hopes to float to the heavy but much needed products. Few appreciate the changes and trade oppor- tunities that the canal will bring to all parts of the south.

 Mere beauty is not. however a sure winner. James Hamilton Lewis has not escaped defeat, and MT. Tawney, the handsomest man in the House. has been waltzed out of a seat that he had oc- cupied IS years. The democrats of New Jersey do not, therefore. despair. They believe that the superb beauty of Vivian NJ. Lewis will not be conclusive. They hold that capacity and mental equipment should be considered and they will go to the ballot box with confidence in the strength of their cause.

Beauty Arrayed Against Brains

The race in New Jersey is remark able one-the race for governor, that is to hay. Woodrow Wilson makes a fine speech He is fine man Intellectually in every sense of the word. He is a genuine democrat-a Virginian by birth and a Georgian by raising and education. Among all the new democratic leaders he is not outranked. He has plenty of wit, and he has character to match it.. He is a student of governmental methods, and the democracy of New Jersey put its best foot forward when it made him its standard bearer.
 But Vivian M. Lewis, his republican opponent, has claims to distinction He is tall, well-made and outstanding, with square shoulders, a deep chest and well modelled limbs. His head is set firmly and exquisitely upon his neck he has large blue eyes with black lashes; his mouth is large but of refined design his hair has the texture and gloss of tho best seal skin; there is a perfect balance between the various geographical details of his countenance. Finish with a win ming smile and a melodious voice, reach ing from low C to c sharp in the treble clef, and you have a picture of thai rarest of beings, the Perfect Man.
 This is MT. Lewis described by his friends. He Is beautiful. and this cannot truthfulIy be said of MT. Wilson He is

BIRMINGHAM's HFIGGER.'


 Speaking of The advantage Birmingham, has gained because of the favorable cen- sus report, resident of that city is quoted as saying that it should be fol- lowed by campaign of hustle. "Birming- ham," he says, "needs~to boost like Alt lanta and advertise like Knoxville" The suggestion is good and applies to every other enterprising and ambitious com munity. Cities which would advance must saw plenty of wood. so to speak. but should shout while they are saving. Birmingham, by the way. looked for ward to the census announcement with a degree of interest and excitement com parable with that on hotly contested election.
 Nearly everybody had indulged in the pleasant speculation as to what the figures would be, the anticipation being of that pleasurable kind which precedea the consumption of a luscious water melon by ''cornfield negro" When the news came the telephones were kept busy and there were shrieks of delight from happy feminine residents of the Iron City. Birmingham is> entitled tc her good fortune. It Is difficult to re- strain pang of jealousy. but we smile indulgently upon her retoicing. T.

PHENOMENAL GROWTH

From the Nashville Tennessean and American.
 Birmingham's phenomenal growth dur Ing the past ten years has made Birming- ham citizens justly very happy. The en- tire south rejoices with the Magic City.
 Birmingham's growth is the growth oi the south Birminghams prosperity Is the souths prosperity. The census returns showing over 245 per cent increase in ter years Is the most substantial tribute to the great mineral wealth of the Birming- ham district That city is today not iI name only, but, in fact. the Pittsburs of the south.
 Allegheny county, Pa. dncluding Pitts burg), makes singly more pig iron than any other county in the United States and converts 1t all into finished products and in addition buys more pig iron from other counties and states than any other county in the United States. This gives Pittsburg her supremacy as the greatest iron center in the world. Jefferson county, Ala. Qncluding Bir- mingham), makes singly more pig iron than any other county in the south, and is now converting more pig iron into fin ished products than all the balance ot the south combined. This conversion oi the pig iron into finished product is the growth of enly eleven years, dating back to 1899, when the first steel was made ir commercial quantities, while Pittsbure has more than half century to it's credit as a manufacturer of steel. Before Bir- mingham has had fifty years of stee making 1t will be larger city than Pitts burg, for many reasons. Pittsburg has coal only; Birmingham has both coal and ore at It's doors. Pittsburg has nothing else except what 1t has made from the product of its mines.
 Birmingham is surrounded by the cot ton fields of the world. The forests oi the south are in such close proximity tt Birmingham that they necessarily pay tribute to 1t.
 The facilities for reaching the markets of the world are all in favor of Birming ham. Pittsburg can only reach tide water by either going over the Ale ghenies or 400 .miles to Philadelphia, ol going down the Ohio river to Cairo ant then down the Mississippi to New Or leans. over 20O0 miles. while Birming ham can reach the Gulf of Mexico a
 about 300 miles. with no mountains t' cross.
 No one is surprised at its marvellous growth. We are not only not jealous, bu

SOUTHERN CITY BREAKS REcoRr

From the Baltimore Sun.
 With an increase of 245 per cent in it's
 population, as announced by the census yesterday Birmingham has set a pace for city growth which 1t will be hard to match. One of the most striking facts developed by the census returns of city population has been the remarkable growth of southern cities. Atlanta, with an increase of 72 per cent. Fort Worth with 174 per cent, Richmond, San An tonio. Dallas, Houston and other places the enthusiastic claims for southern de- velopment which have been made by the advocates of that section are now being more than sustained.
 Birmingham is an illustration of the power of cooperative work in city build Ing; of ceaseless, untiring activity on the part of Its own people. Despite the worlds skepticism as to Birmingham's s advantages for iron and steel making,
 until the United States Steel corporation two years ago made its investment or s5o, ,000,000 there and set at rest the skep- ticism on this point that district had an uphill fight. Years ago the great cap italists of the country said if Alabama Is so rich in raw materials for iron making, why does not Carnegie invest there? And after the Steel corporation succeeded Carnegie the world still asked the question: Why does not the Steel cor poration invest in Alabama if it's re- sources are so great as It's friends claim? The reasons were logical, but the world could not be convinced, and. therefore, Birmingham had to make its own fight under many adverse conditions. But it's own people-bankers. merchants and manufacturers, real estate owners and operators-never lost faith; they never wayered for a moment. When pan
 les or industrial depressions came they only worked the harder and talked with still more optimism. The scale on which Birmingham real estate operations are carried Is illustrated in the fact that only a few days ago the First National bank of that city paid $1,ooo,ooo for the 1o-story building of which 1t has been the ground floor tenant, and a New York life insur- ance company during the past week has made a loan of s1 1,0OO,0o0 to Birmingham man on two large buildings, 1t being un- derstood that this Is a plan by which the local man will in the near future erect 1,00o 900 hotel. Even Atlanta itself is not a better illustration of the vim and energy of the people of the south themselves when they determine to
 achieve results. For the leading bankers of Birmingham, the real estate oper- ators, and even the president of the great iron and steel company owned by the United States Steel corporation are southern men. In their work they Illus trate the inherent strength of southern character and demonstrate what south ern men can accomplish in material up- building.

Precautions Against Cholera

Against both Italy and Russia this country is taking ample precautions to prevent the introduction here of Asiatic cholera. Russia is full of the infection n question, and Italy has a good many cases In the latter country the health authorities are striving with equal resolu- ion and skill to stamp out the disease, and they will doubtless succeed. Nothing of that sort need be expected to take place in Russia where all things are in a backward condition-where sanitary science is rarely applied-where the people ss a rule cannot read and write:
 Ships arriving at our ports from either ,ountry are rigidly inspected and it is not probable that cases of the plague will ,e landed unbeknown. And if a case ,hould be landed there are no grounds for 1pprehending a dissemination of this vell-known and well-investigated germ disease. The bacilli of cholera stands be- fore the eyes of every medical student, md there will be no epidemic of the dis ,ase in this country. This Is no western ,opy of Russia. The Germans may out ~anlx ,,s in souoe resnects in handling dis cases, but we certainly are a lap or two ahead of Russia in that respect.
