CANADIAN RECIPROCITY CERTAIN.

There Is suggestion as 10 what the
senate will do with the Canadian reci-
procity bill in the Baltimore Sun. This
democratic newspaper is so strongly
axsertive in its advice that one rea din g

ing between the newspaper and certain
democratic leaders
Tho Sun says:
THE democrats IN the United States
senate should stand firm for the pas
sage OF the reciprocity bill unaIne1lGed
and unattached 10 any other measure
whatsoever. The country wishes and
expects the reciprocity bill 20 pass. and
st Will De great tactical blurder for
the democratic senator TO allow the
issue which a republican president has
made to their hand 70 become Cluttere1

doubt that with the support Of all the
democrats in the senate the bill can be
passed as II came from the house;

WHERE THE POLL FALLS DOWN.


Nevada Representative.
The Fundamental difficulty about
poll Of newspapers arises from the faet
that a newspaper mans political opin-
ions are OF especial account only as ne
happens to be an exponent Of public
opinion. The mere fact that he IS
printer, runs a print shop, publishes q
local paper and gets the postoffce mas
nothing to do with the case. Neither
does the fact that he runs larger
newspaper without habitually having
and expressing political sentiments
affect the matter materially: for what
gives Importance to a newspaper mans
opinion is that by insistence and reit-
Grafton he may possibly influence the
opinions OF others. and If he forhears
from seeking or exercising political in
f1uence then, whatever his personal or
business standing. there is no occasion
for putting him politically In class
with those who attempt to do what he
does not attempt.

DIDAPPER IN TOWN

The didapper is a small water bird known for it's marvellous rapidity in div ing. Noah Webster says ''didapper' is not the proper name for the bird. He called him "dabchick,'' and remarks later:
 "The dabchick is known also as dap chick. dobohick, dipchick, 2idapper, dob- beI, devil diver, hell diver, and pied bill grebe.'
 Che of the above was driven to Bir- min glam yesterday in a cage. He was nestling close to chickens in the wagon of R. B. Finn, who operates q farm near Warrior Mir. Finn stated: "The didap- per seldom flies until late in the evening I got this one on the bank and he couldn't run fast enough to get away. He lost bis nerve and I caught him.
 In addition to the didapper, Mir. Finn brought 10 chickens to Birmingham and a coop of ten opossums.

INVITE DR, DENNY
 ID B|G BANQUET University Affair to Be a
 Banner Event TO BE HELD NOV. IS Plans Are Under Way to Make It the Most Important College
 Affair Ever Held in
 the State

The committee on arrangements for the alumni banquet of the University of Alabama, which is to be held in Bir- mingham November IS, has forwarded pr George H. Denny. president of Washington and Lee university, an ur- gent invitation to attend. The presi- dent-elect of the university of Alabama intends making trip through this state a about the time of the date for the banquet, and it Is thought very probable that he will accept the invita- . tion. e
 On account of the absence from the city of W. " M. Robinson. .Jr., he has been succeeded as a member of the ar engagements committee by Borden Burr. Mir. Burr, in addition to being an 'alumnus of the University of Alabama, Is also an alumnus of Washington and zee university, and he knows Dr. Dem ny well. He has taken up the matter of Dr. Denny's attenu.ng the banque, by means of personal correspondence.
 Preparations are' in full swing to the end that the banquet may be the most successful ever held in Alabama. If Dr. Denny accepts tne invitation to attend, it is a certainty that every member of the board of trustees will be on hand. As in the afternoon pre- ceding the night of the banquet the Alabama football team will play the football team of Sewanee in Birming- ham, it is probable that there will be q large number of alumni in the citv from other points in the state. It is more than probable, also, that a num- Der of state officials will be on hand. as many of them, including Governor O'Neal and Lieut.. Gov. Walter D. Seed. are alumni of the University of Ala bama.
 As soon as it is learned whether pr. Denny will attend or not, and as soon as it is learned just who of the prom inent alumni from other points will bo in attendance, the programme whi be issued. It is intended to make the oc- casion the most important college af- fair ever held in .4.,,yafnas

M. & O. REPORT
 BREAKS RECORD Increase in Gross Receipts Was S560,613.S6 for
 the Year

The gross revenue of the Mobile and Ohio railroad for the year ending June 30 last was the greatest in it's entire 6 years of history, according to the annual report of that company, made public here yesterday by l.. Sevier, general agent for the executive department. The Mobile and Ohio for the year end- ing June 30 received in gross revenues from operations $11, ,197.S46.5S. as compared with s1o, ,6s6. 7s2 73 in 1910. The increase was s56o, 613 s6. The net operating revenue was 8, ,3O3 36O IS for 1911, as compared to s3,22j,- 766 Ot in 1910.
 It is pointed out in the report that the increase in wage scales prevented the company from participating fully in the revenues as given in the report Addi- tions and improvements during the year to the amount of s15o 457 IS were made.
 A decrease in equipment is placed at s1S9, ,156. .1G. which, it was pointed out, Is due "principaly to the retirement or destruction of obsolete equipment, the value of which will be restored during the year. and charged to the proper &C., count A substantial part of that is un- der construction now"
 The report says that the exports and imports at Mobile increased very much during the year. It is reported that for the year ending June 30, 1911, the ex- ports were sSo154.0s7. and tho imports amounted to s403i,73T The comparisons in imports show an increase for 1a11 of 155 per cent.
 The report of President Finley ends as follows:
 "In the death of Edward Lafayette Russell, vice president and general coun- sel and also q director, which occurred on the 2Sth day of January, 1911, your company lost valuable executive officer. He was conscientious and untiring in the administration of the duties of his of ice and ever watchful and zealous on behalf of tbe company's interests. Colo nel Russell performed q noteworthy serv-
 ice in fostering a spirit of mutual interest between the company and it's patrons. 1 As a broad minded railroad officials and public spirited citizen, his record is one | of which your company may well he l proud The board of directors has re. corded by appropriate resolutions its sense l of the loss of Colonel Russell us an asso- ciate and It's appreciation of his loyal | services"
