IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Regarding Population

In April and May, when the census
was being taken. there was strong COM
plant in many cities that the enumera-
tors were not making a full count sad
Frank J. Terrence of Kansas City. But
after investigation had been made in two
or three cities with which I am familiar
it was found that the enumerators were
doing their work faithfully, but that the
people were not cooperating as they
should. There was complaint especially
about clearinghouse keepers not furnish
ing the census man with the information
he sought.
"Kansas City has an estimated popula-
ton of 1000, but l do not believe the
census bureau will give us more than
SEQ GOO. The latter figure would show a
large percentage of gain, for we had
only 16s, 752 in 1900; but Kansas City has
had phenomenal growth within the past
few years and l really believe we have
something like the estimated figures.
among the very large cities st. Louis
is growing vast. 1t had a population OF
57a.o 600 ten years ago and it is now
claimed by St. Louis statisticians that
$4,000 people now live within the boun-
dairy lines. The government census viii

AS TO DISPEN SARIES

From the Walker County News.
The News gives much of its space today
to a series of letters written from Jasper
by Walter Harper, staff correspondent of
The Birmingham Age-Herald on the sub
ject of dispensaries; how they worked
in Walker county and how the liquor
traffic works in this county today.
The statements made by Mr.. Harper
are from every day talk in this county,
and stand without contradiction The
News reproduces these statements be-
cause they are well collated and truth
fully pictured. They constitute a basis
for the consideration of most import
ant question.
a fair solution for the liquor traffic
is of paramount Importance. From a
temperance standpoint it is folly to claim
that prohibition is enforced in this COM
munity or in this state. Such claim is
the result either of ignorance or a distor-
ton of facts for a purpose. Liquors of
all kinds, especially the lower brands,
are sold and consumed in this state and
section in enormous proportions. From
county, city or schools, save that which
is derived as a premium on crime; and
that is very little as compared with the
dollars involved in Illicit tIaffc.
That the old saloon system lately in
vogue in Alabaam was a curse to the
state cannot be truthfully denied. 1t was
almost as bad as the present blind tiger,
wild cat, bootleg system, but It did out
rank the latter in that it paid tribute to
the public treasury and never did its mis-
deeds in darkness, nor cause offense
against the law forbidding perjury. To
some extent the old saloon was regulated;
to no extent is the blind tiger regulated.
nor can it ever be.
Dispensaries can be kept under absolute
control of state, county ard city officials;
and thus be strictly regulated. Dispen-
saries yield revenue, which can be ap
piled to public schools. The sale of liquors
BY dispensaries cannot bear the sem
blance of crime.
Public sentiment in this state is not
favorable to the re-esta blishment of the
saloon, and never will be; but public SEN
timent is yearning for an abolition of the
moclery Gale dprohibition. which is deny
ing the state and to communities the pos
sibility of regulating the liquor traffic,
which is fiourishing in the darkness, defy
ing the law, debauching men and women
and growing rich at the expense of the
paon1a

Population FIGURES

These figures Of increase reasonably

cradle southern city-certainly. in one Of

and some hope to receive record of
growth up even to DO per cent. After all
the percentage of growth is the true meas
ore of a city's prosperity. Tried by that
standard. Birmingham faces calmly the
coming figures Of Director Durand. Those
figures will be due to arrive over the
wires next week.

Keeping the WeeYil Down

The weevil is advancing toward the
Alabama line, and the people in this state
should study the experience of their
neighbors in Mississippi where the insect
is well established. Some of the farmers
at that state are diversifying their crops
while they are burning all cotton stalks
in infested fields by or before Novem-
Der 1.
The merchants and bankers of Mississip-
pi are promoting the change in plans by
refusing financial assistance to those far
mers who refuse to burn their cotton
stalks and to diversity their crops. A
similar general movement in Alabama
would prepare this state for the coming
of the boil weevil and united action on
their part should be begun next winter
in order to make it helpful When far
ner who refuses to heed the advice of the
government experts knows he can secure
no advances and no credit he may con-
clude to give the general good precedence
over personal notions.
The pest is almost at our doors, and it
is the duty of all TO get ready against its
coming. Beyond all doubt the Alabama
Blackbelt counties near Meridian will be
assailed by the weevn next season. Those
farmers who accept and act upon the gov
eminent methods of combating the pest
will make a reasonably good cotton crop
and perhaps very good crops that the
Mexican insect disergards. To do this all
stalks must be burned and effort made
on a generous scale to diversity crops.

OSCAR HAMMER STEIN

From the Boston Globe.
Oscar Hammerstein is a native OF Ber-
lin, and came to this country in 1868 at the
age of l6. He first engaged in cigar max
ing for a living and during that period
invented several labor-saving devices upon
which he procured patents. From MS
boyhood he had passion for the theatre,
and when q years of age determined to
try his hand as a playwright, whereupon
he wro,e three one-act comedies, one or
them with music, which were produced
at the German theatre, New York. He
formally launched into the theatrical bus
mess in 1870 having leased the Stadt the
atre, afterward called the Windsor. In
1880 he built the Harlem opera house, the
first theatre in that district, which was
not success financially for long time,
and later he built the Columbus, also in
Harlem. His next building venture was
the Manhattan opera house, which subse-
quently became Roster & Beials music
hall. Then came the Olympia music hall,
an exceptionally prosperous enterprise for
time, though it was afterward lost
to the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, as a result of the foreclosure of
a mortgage. Mr.. Hammerstein has since
built four theatres in New York; the Vic
toria, Lew Fields. in West Forty-second
street; the Beasco and the Manhattan
opera house. His latest venture is the
New Philadelphia opera house.

NINT nrLIA,s APPLE PIE

From the New York World
We are thoroughly in sympathy with
Aunt Della Torrey's protest against the
sert of journalism that has been garhling
her recipe for apple pie. 1t appears that
a recipe attributed to her which has
heen making the rounds Of the newspa-
pors Was not her recipe at all, and peo-
pie have been writing to her about its
imperfeetions And as that most excel
lent aunt of the chief magistrate prop
erly says 1t puts me in a false light
when folks think l have been making
imperfect pies for the President of the
United states"
Miss rorrey has a much better griev-
alice than any that Mr.. raft has ex-
plotted in his attacks upon the muck
rakers He has means of redress. He
can defend himself and all the news
papers will print his defense. His cab
inet can defend him too. and everybody
II the country finds out soon or late
that the President has denied the things
that were said about him. Even If the
public refuses to accept the defense as
adequate. there is still the tribunal of
IS deserved It is bound TO come
But what redress is there when I
recipe for apple pie is muck-raked? The
Presidents aunt cannot appeal to history
fer history refuses to concern itself with
the details of apple pie. She cannot is
sue a statement backed by the executive
authority of the United States govern
ment She cannot be certain that the
newspapers which printed the wrong reel
pc would print the right recipe, for she
has no means of knowing who the Of
tenders We're.
We think Miss Torrey is entitled to
redress and that Mr.. Taft might profit
ably concern himself herewith. 1t is his
duty to enforce the pure food law, and
as such it is his privilege to decide what
apple pie is. Not long ago he spent days
and DAYS of valuable time deciding what
whisky is, and we venture to say that
he is more interested personally in ons
of Aunt Delia's apple pies than in all
the whisky in all the bonded warehouses
OF the country.
The President can at least have Miss
Torreys recipe for apple pie printed in
the cook book that has been issued b.
the Secretary of Agriculture. Then W.
shall have an official standard of apple
pie. and when Mr.. Taft insists that it is
the best pie ever made there will be no
such jeers as greeted his references %

Compulsory Education Great Issue

The Georgia legislature is in session,
and it is pressed by people in all parts of
the state from the sea to the mountains
to pass a compulsory education bill. All
feel in that state that the states re-
sources can never be fully developed I'M
til all can read and write. A diffusion
of intelligence has made Germany great
and powerful, and even backward Rus
STA proposes to apply the remedy.
Can Alabama or Georgia afford to do
less than Russia? Is not public school
education to the extent of the three Rs
the birthright of every child? This ques-
ton is as pressing and as important and
as determining in Alabama as it is in
Georgia or in any other state
The next legislature will be expected
to handle it, and as a preparation for the
work legislators should read and inward
ly digest Superintendent of Education
GunneIs speech delivered before the
University of Alabama summer school,
He shows the progress of the past but
he does not show how many children
of school age in Alabama attended the
public schools and how many did not.
This is the crucial question This is where
the duty Of the legislator comes in. About
one-third of the children of school age
in this state go to school and two-thirds
do not This puts the name of the state
low in the tables of illiteracy. This puts
Alabama on the Russian basis. And
this is what Alabama cannot much longer
afford to permit.

Down many a ferny hollow, through

And little maid who treads 1t goes

She tripped her way into my heart-r

Her eyes are gray of Ireland, her cheeks
are pink of rose,
And the sweetness of her smiling, why,

She's a bonny Irish lassie, from her elf
locks to her toes,
On the road to Ballyclary in the morning.
She passes by my window, when the sun
is shining, shining;
Sometimes she casts a fieeting glance,
sometimes she never looks.
She does not know an aching heart ID
pining. pinng, pining,
Pent up by bricks and mortar, mid the
papers and the books
She chats with other assies, but the men
she passes by;
She never seems to see them-I often
wonder why.
Is she waiting for stranger? Fate send
that It be /,

oh, some fine Sunday morning when the
bells are ringing, ringing,
And calling all the pious maids to mas3

Then the golden gates of Heaven may
