Regarding Provincialism

"I indorse the remarks that have ap- peared in the Lobby column of The Age-Herald about provincialism," said a citizen. "The south as a section is not more provincial than the north, and southern cities of the larger class are cer- tainly not provincial as rule. Bir- mingham and Atlanta are notably cosmo- politan, and yet 1t must be admitted that now and then we see things here in this city that suggest a lack of good taste. I refer especially to an absence of decorum in the ranks of civic societies on parade occasions. While marching bodies other than military are not sup posed to appear in strict uniform dress all the men in line should wear suits of black and black hats. A straw hat or light suit of clothes should never be allowed. I have sometimes observed on funeral occasions that pallbearers wore light clothes, which was, of course in extremely poor taste. But worse still is the habit which some men have of smok- ing while riding or walking in a fu- neral procession to the grave. I once attended a state funeral in Havana-the funeral of the wife of the mayor. It was in 1896, in midsummer. The Sun was fierce, but the cortege moved through the streets several miles to the place of interment. There was an escort of several hundred men on foot, and following the hearse were 200 carriages. It was one of the largest funerals I ever saw. The men in line were properly dressed, but I was surprised, not to say shocked, to see every man puffing a cigar. Even the driver of the hearse and the pallbearers walking on either side of the hearse, smoked necessarily. But that was in Cuba. We should by all means check the habit of smoking at fu- nerals in this country'

Trade Balance Against This Country

Tn the month of August imports outran exports by the sum of $s5oo,Ooo in values. And yet exports in August last were more than $25, 5,O00, ,O0O in excess of exports in August, 1909. The truth is, imports are abnormal. In the calendar year down to September 1 they had exceeded im- ports by $913,5G9 This is not great sum, but 1t is a surprising sum to country that has long been accustomed to favor able rather than an unfavorable balance in international trade.
 In the eight months of the calendar year that have run their course the net export of gold was sl1,Oo5,s19. This may settle all the various things, includ- ing interest, ocean freights and tourists expenses that enter into the balance of trade always provided shipments of cot- ton, provisions, wheat, corn. oil and man.
 
 after. Balances are heavy against us be- cause we import so many goods, but we may export enough to settle the ac- count.
 Not since 1893 had the balance of trade been against us in the first eight months of a calendar year until we came to the present year. Almost ever since 1872 had the balance of trade been in our favor. In le0s 1t rose to a maximum, $666, ,431, ,554!
 We must meet with exports all the money spent by American tourists, all in- terest and dividends on American. securi- ties held abroad, all profits of foreign insurance companies, all remittances of foreigners working in this country, all cost of foreign shipping employed in our International trade. and in order to meet s1l these things without exporting gold &e should export grain and meats and Inc like to the extent of about $450, ,0o0, ,00t Nyear more than our imports of goods

Memphis Comrthonse

When the time comes to build a new courthouse in Jefferson county I hope our people will adopt the plans of the Mem phis courthouse," said F. l. Monks. With such building situated in Capitol park, which would be an ideal location for 1t, the whole question of courthouse accom- fnodations and convenience would be set tied for a century,
 'The Memphis, or rather the Shelby eountyrcourthouse is a three-story, quad rilateral building, occupying whole block and having four facades. The de- sign is the purest classic of the Ionic order, and the internal arrangements of courts, rooms, offices, lavatories, corri- dors are beyond improvement. Every thing and everyone is provided for, and its law library alone is we'll worthy visit. All municipal and county offices are contained in this building. It cost $1700,000, and I believe it is worth the ex penditure.
 We have a problem to solve here in this city and county. In the matter of courts and jails existing conditions are intolerable. Our city prisons are a dis Sidc6, dHu the treatment Dl ouT Cily pllo- oners simply barbarous. Our county jail has been more truly than poetieally des- ignated a carbuncle, and our county pris- oners who have to spend from three to P months therein awaiting trial are sub jected to conditions far worse than if they were convicted felons. Our county courthouse, so far as accommodation goes, has been condemned over and over again, and every day matters are grow ing worse. These problems will not solve themselves; they must be solved
 "Instead of issuing bonds for s40o000, which, by the way, seems to be the charmed figure Tn all our bond issues, let us at once and for all boldly come for ward and raise S20OO,0OO or more and do things right. Let there be created city improvement committee consisting of five prominent and reputable citizens, elected by the property owners, to whom shall be intrusted the work of preparing a proper plan of city Improvements, and who shall have the disbursement of the money raised for that purpose. There would be little or no difficulty in voting a $2,00o- 900 bond issue if the people had con- fidence in the ability of those to whom it's expenditure would be intrusted."

MT. Bryan was always a man to take up new and unavoidable issues and make campaign hobbies of them; and l only wonder why he did not try prohi- bition long ago. He is getting into line with prohibition at time when that issue is losing ground wherever it has been tried"

PAINLESS TAXATION
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The tinfoil that wraps gum, the solder that is sparingly used on fruit cans and the rubber that goes into teething rings for babies are all taxed in a way to swell the profits of the Guggenheim lead trust, shelter trust and rubber trust.
 Nearly all monopoly taxes are so small when they reach the individual consumer that computation is impossible. Appar- ently they amount to nothing and yet in the aggregate they yield millions This explains why so many of the people who pay are indifferent and why the men who receive are so eager.

MIR. rAFr.s PERSUASIVE WAY

From the New York World.
 MT. Taft evidently intends that the spells letter written by Charles D. Nor ton. his private secretary. to an unnamed Iowa politician shall have the force of-an executive order. Copies of 1t have been sent to all the department heads in wash ington.
 ' In the records of the government the Norton letter will stand unique in the lack of moral sense that dictated 1t. In- surgent senators whom MT. Taft fenced off from the patronage trough as a mat ter of duty" when they attacked the Payne-Aldrich tariff are now publicly in- vited to take their fill.
 But suppose Senators Bristow LaFol- lette, Cummins and Deliver do not promptly call at White House for the jobs so ostentatiously offered them? Will a pork-barrel next be displayed in the of fees of the executive mansion as a further indictment to them to abandon their self-respect?

Roosevelt and Trnst cnses

Theodore Roosevelt and the decisions in the trust cases are the only discourag- ing things in the way of great business activity. is the opinion of Otto Marx, who returned yesterday from New York
 'The most conservative bankers in New York recognize in Colonel Roose- welt the only demoralizing politician in America today" said Mr. Marx. His antics out west, where he made some very significant remarks, have taken the strength from many fine advancement moves. The trust decisions are also af- fecting business. If the court would de- eide them one way or another It would be better than this uncertainty If the decisions are adverse to the business in- terests they could at least try and ad- just themselves to what is to come. If on the other hand the trust cases are favorable to the capital invested then prosperity would break upon us in vol ume never known before in business an- nas in the country.
 Although the trust cases and MT. Roosevelt are very uncomfortable to the financial interests, general business con- ditions are better. look for some very fine investments to be made this fall. The cotton crop has placed new life into the New York bankers. Call money is eagerly sought and all the indications are favorable N a rattling good outcome of the year"
 While absent from Birmingham MT. Marx attended a meeting of the bQhrd of directors of the Hendersonville, St. Louis and Louisville railroad. He was reelected a member of the board
