REPRESENTATION Under the New Census

It is said the republican leaders have
decided to keep the size of the House Oh
Representatives down to 4lo members. 1t
now has 39S members. The ratio OF ap-
portionment will. it is said be put at
9oO.Ooo for that purpose The object of
this plan is to keep the southern repre-
sentation down to the lowest possible
point, and by southern representation is
meant. of course, democratic strength.
1t is admitted that Texas, Missouri
and Alabama will be entitled to increased
representation, and this increase will ba
taken from Virginia and other southern
states. so that the south as a whoa
will gain no new members. The north
would under this plan gain about 10
members, and these gains would GO
chiefly to New York, Pennsylvania, Mas
sachusetts, Illinois and Ohlo-states full
of industrial cities.
ratio of 100000 would call for pop
ulation in this state of 100000, and Ala
bama will doubtless have that number.
A gain of 20 per cent in the state would
give us tenth member of Congress
under the republican scheme of depriving
the south of all possible representation.
Jefferson county in frame of mind. But
If this increasing county has 100000 in
habitants it should be given member of
Congress by the legislature because
everybody lnows-ft would soon grow to
200, 200.

PRIVILEGES OF A JERSEY WIFE

From the New ofk Worlu
A husband cannot force his wife to
live with his relatives. So Vice Chancel-
Tor Garrison of New Jersey has decided in
the suit which Mrs. Norah Minihan
brought against her husband for sepa-
rate maintenance. Minihan had brought
his wife to his sisters home, with the
not unusual result that quarrels became
frequent and Mrs. Minihan left. The
court held she was justified
Whatever may be said of other states,
New Jersey has always stood stanchly
for the proposition that a husband must
provide the wife with a home. 1t has
been held that he cannot require her to
live in a boarding house. Vice Chancel-
lor Stevenson once declared that mothers
in-law should by all means, unless de-
crepit and poverty-stricken, either work
or, If of the weather. class, stay away
from their sons or daughters homes"
And New Jersey protects wifely priv
ileges. Chancellor Zabriskie is authority
for the proposition that lit is not improp-
er that a wife should look at the un-
sealed letter in the pocket of a vest
handed her by her husband to mend.
One of the grounds on which suffra-
gettes are seeking the right to vote is
that law, being man-made. is character
lied by illlberality toward the weaker sex.
This complaint cannot very we'll be made
of the judges and lawmakers of New
Jersey

Commodity Prices Going Up Again

A temporary halt in the upward cost OF
living has been ended and commodity
prices are moving upward again. In the
month of June, says Bradstreet's, bread
stuffs, provisions, fruits, coal and coke
and naval stores were advanced. Five
groups were moved up, and the upward
trend in cereals, hogs pork products,
eggs. butter and cheese were most
marked.
In a years time up to July 1 IS of the
necessaries of life were marked up, 20
were marked down, while II showed no
change.
Bradstreet's index numbers stood high
er on July 1 than they had on any pre-
vious July l since 1892, when they were
first compiled These numbers show an
increase in the cost of living since 1869 of
565 per cent? The increase in year was
So per cent, and the indications are that
the increase of the current year will be
even more.

Census Figures for a Tennessee County

In some way as yet unexplained the
census figures of Hamilton county are
published but not those of the city OF
Chattanooga-an oversight that will no
doubt be speedily supplied.
Ten years ago Hamilton county had
81. es5 populations it now has S9,267-a gain
of AS per cent in ten years. This is
gratifying increase. 1t is more than dou-
BILE the increase that Tennessee as a
whole will show in the census of this
year.
The Chattanooga News thinks it's city
contributed between 5000 to $4,000 to the
county's population. Highland park has
been added to Chattanooga since 1900, and
Chattanooga population was then 49,
per cent of the county's inhabitants. The
estimate of Chnttanooga's population
made by the News will undoubtedly prove
trustworthy.
In 1900 Chattanooga had a population
of SO,154, and if it has now population
of 5000 it has increased in size one half
In ten years-a very creditable rate of in
crease 1t is town of many natural ad-
vantages. 1t has coal mines and ore de-
posts near at hand, a river that affords
water power and will soon be open to
steamboat navigation, a summer resort
next door. and plenty of railroads. These
things mean a prosperous and 4ncreaslne
city. 1t has, too, knack of procuring
diversified industries, and this is It's best
advantage.

Solid Prosperity

The vast sums of money being expend-
ed for new construction and various i'm
provements in and around Birmingham
estimated at something like $50, 600 Ooo-will
tend to make business brisk here the rest
of the year, no matter what the eondi-
tons NAV be in other sections of the
country.
If one-third of the millions being spent
in the Birmingham district by corpora
tions and other business concerns were to
be spent in Memphis, Nashville, or Allan
ta there would be no limit to the hurrah
and booster talk in either of those cities
Ten or twelve years ago even Birming-
ham would have considered itself most
fortunate If as much as 100000 or s1O,
100000 were being paid out here for i'm
provements and expansion. But now the
people are so used to reading about big
figures in industrial development that
they take as a matter of course the
announcements made from time to time of
the many millions of dollars going into
construction.
Every indication points to continued de-
velopment in this district on large
scale And from the present outlook,
Birmingham will make new high record
this year in growth and general prosper
ity. This year, 1910, will certainly prove
a banner year in Blrmingham's history.

Illlteracy IN Alabama

William H. Skaggs' letter published In
yesterdays Age-Herald, should be read
and re-read in every part of the state. 1t
is not the entire naked truth, but it is
as near 1t as the official figures go. There
is not statement In it that can be
successfully questioned.
1t is in fact an indictment of policy
that pays hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to institutions that but 5000 students
attend, while the public schools that 7oo,-
900 should attend are skimped to less
than s15o head.
Where is one thing the next legislature
should Investigate with a thoroughness
that leaves nothing unturned or I'M
touched, and that is the decrease in en-
rollment in the public schools of this
state. We have in a round number 100000
children of school age. In 1876 the num-
her enrolled in the public schools was
b42,717; in 1909 the enrolmyht had fallen
to 4os,22s. It fell % per- cent in four
years. At Mat rate ZERO would be

ORIGIN OF THE "sUNDAEv

From the New York Evening Post.
The sundae has so long been in ex-
istence that one seldom stops to con-
slider where it originated. The story is
told of the fastidious maiden who re-
moved the fuzz off the top of her choc-
olate soda and asked the clerk why he
couldn't serve the old thing without
all that sneezy, prickly hot air. The
clerk scoffed at her suggestion, but
hoping to cure her of her obJectiohs'
gave her a sticky mass of Ice cream
and syrup. Instead of curing her, he
converted her, and many millions after
her. Why the connection was called a
"sundae," no one really knows, except
that it was originally looked upon as
too great a luxury for an ordinary
days treat. The fancy spelling is one
of those historic things that grow out
of ignorance, and an imitation OF the
foreign among the uneducated. 1t was
not a classical student, but a soda
clerk, who invented that feminine plu-
raj ending. He probably did 1T in recog-
milton of his feminine plural custom
ePs.
So great is the variety of drinks and
ice cream dishes that one may obtain
nowadays that it has become as diff
cult to keep abreast of the times in this
matter as in that of clothes or ETH
ouette Fashions here change as they
do in every other realm. 1t were TO
acknowledge being far behind the times
to ask for a Merry Widow sundae"
now, or to show ignorance at the mem
ton of a "Chantecler frappe. TO ask
for a sundae and to expect frappe, or
to think that parfait Is like either
of them, is to be anything but up-to-
dat a

Talk About Peaches

"At last there are some very choice
peaches coming to market, peaches that
have a delicious flavor rather than the
said man who is a judge of fruit.
when one can part a luscious rosy
checked peach-fruit that has won from
the dew of night and the sunshine of
summer the nectar that sometimes has
found its way through the worm to make
many. then do We know we are In the
full fruition of glorious summer time. In
the autumn 1t is the apple that catches
our eye and pleases the palate, but the
peach is the queen of the summer time.
1t is the counterpart of the golden ap-
walks in her garden with bending boughs
of nectarines, rechristened 'Elberta'
And speaking of fine peaches, many
years ago I purchased three very large
Chinese cling peaches, paying % cents
apiece for them as gift for fair friend.
They were the most splendid pieces of
fruit I have seen even unto this day;
there were only these three that grew
upon the tree. Now this variety has
very thin skin, and when perfectly ripe
the skin can be peeled off by breaking 1t
at the apex and drawing downward, much
as a glove can be drawn off. 1t is true
that in this act some of the luscious
sweetness baptises the hand, but this
but whets the appetite for the feast"

DISTANT STARS
N. w. Munford In the outlook.

N w. Munford In the outlook.
Sunlight is reflected from the moon
70 ms in one and fourth seconds. me
interval covered by the flight OF hghe
in one wear is, of course, 10000 times
the number of seconds in year. Yet
the light of the very nearest star IN the
whole heavens takes several years 10
reach us! The first star of the Centauf
ia about four and one-half light years
distant. Mr.. Edward Irving has taken
mains to give us an idea of what this
distance means: Some spider thread Is
so extremely fine and light that single
mound of it would be long enough to
reach around tho earth. To reach our
moon would require nearly 10 POUNDS
of 1t. To get to the sun would take oll2
Mounds Neptune's distance would re-
ouire Sc tonY of 1t, but to reach
the nearest star would take 100000
tons" Suppose we adopt scale with
the moons distance equal to one inch.
On this scale the sun will be over 81
feet away, but the distance OF the
nearest star will be 1886 miles-from
New York to Denver.
After a discussion of the extent OF the
universe. Simon NeHcomb, whose word
is the last on astronomical matters,
concludes that the light of the faint
est telescope stars is between 5000 ana
1000 years in reaching us.
