Many Political Events This Week

The inauguration of a new state ad- ministration at Montgomery yesterday was but the beginning of a great politi- cal week To-day the Baltimore jubila- tion occurs. and the speeches of the men invited to be present will be ex- pected to outline the campaign of 1912. A great gathering is assured
 On Thursday the members-elect of the in an unique caucus at Washington. Eighty three new members will partici- pate in this caucus. It is expected that held in December in naming a speaker in naming a committee of ways and means headed by MT. Underwood and probably in determining how the other committees shall be appointed. The ac- ton of Thursdays caucus will be deep- ly felt in the coming presidential cam paign
 Nor is this all, for during the week United States senators will be elected in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Tennessee, and the double election in West Virginia may be decided The deep interest taken in the New York and New Jersey contest is fully justified, and all together the democrats will be on trial throughout the entire week. Almost ev- cry large political event of the week re- lates in greater or less degree to the contest of next year.

| terest of temperance. of law, and Of or der, and in compliance with the will of
 the people whose trusted servants We arc
 The democratic party of Alabama is eom- Intted to local optional cardinal prin- ciple and policy of our creed. Our demo- cratic nominees were elected on that plat form. The people demand of us a faithful and fearless compliance with their wishes.
 Tn my opinion prohibition should be the established policy of the state, with a general local option law to take effect at the next general election. Yet we know that the largest cities and certain of the largest counties of the State, not only expect but demand immediate relief from the present deplorable and shameful conditions and violations of law by prompt legislative action. Their represent tatives were nominated and elected under pledges to give such relief.
 They know the wishes and sefitments of their people, and upon them is the responsibility to ask that their counties be excepted from the general rule. The people want no more elections that are not necessary to ascertain the public will. Such elections disturb the public peace  and renew the evils of bitter agitation and political turmoil. Where the repre- sentative knows the sentiment of his con stituents, a referendum of this question to the people of the unit to be affected would be as unwise as it is unnecessary"
 Governor ONeal expresses himself frankly on other pressing problems. He wishes to see the abuses of the fee sys- tenn corrected; he is friendly to capital, and is committed, in a word, to all the large upbuilding forces of Alabama. Yes terday's address is as full of grit as it is sane and statesmanlike. There is not demagogc phrase in it. and all patriotic citizens are naturally led to hope that the ONeal administration will be a splen- did success.

--'es----- . CHEAP SLEEPING CARS

From Daily Consular and Trade Reports.
 The Swedish state railways have three classes of fares, the proportion in price being about at 5:S:2 Heretofore only the first and second class passengers have had access to special sleepers, also run by the state railways but now sleepers have been also put in for third class pas sengers. As third class cars formerly were supplied with only wooden seats, these new cars will be welcomed by third class travellers by night
 The new cars are comfortably equipped; the seats are upholstered and the com rartments make much the same impress sion as an ordinary first class or second sleeper They are brilliantly lighted. The length of the car, which rests on two four-wheel truckss is 5s feet, inches, and the width is 10 feet. The cars are divided into eight compartments. each with two seats and giving room for six berths The aisle from which one enters the compartments runs alongside the cars side and is about three feet wide. The berths are six and one-half by two feet, and there is special cover put over the upholsterng. no sheets being furn- ished. A pillow, with a clean pillow case and blanket are supplied.
 The prices for these sleepers are very low. The fare from Stockholm to Gothen- burg, 2S5 miles, covered in 10 hours, is s third class. and the sleeper ticket costs CT cents. The charge for sleeping prvi- leges is uniform and independent of the distance.

MOTOR CAR THEATRE

Paris Letter to the London Telegraph.
 Next April M Gemier director of the Antoine theatre, means to start his peripatetc theatre which I mentioned some months ago. He is bringing the methods of strolling players entirely up to date. His Thespian chariot will con- sist of vans drawn by eight road loco- motives and weighing eighty tons. Every thing will be carried by road-the prop critics, the scenery, the stage and the au- ditorium itself. The portable theatre is built on the principle of balloon sheds which may easily be taken to pieces Though portable, it will be complete and comfortable throughout when set up like an ordinary playhouse of bricks and mor- tar. It will seat 15O0 spectators at low prices, from tenpence to three shillings. M Gemier, his strolling company Of 20 actors and actresses and 40 carpenters and stage hands will travel by road also, some of them perhaps at little higher speed than the eight traction engines will attein.
 The portable theatre will carry with it it's own lighting and heating machinery and its own fire-extingpishing plant, con sisting of an electric rotary engine and tank on wheels, which will be filled with water before each performance. M. Gem fer expects to reach an average speed of six miles an hour on the road

Increasing The State Corn Crop

All are proud of the corn crop grown in this country last year On 114,0O0,0oo acres we grew S,125, 1S,oO0 bushels of corn. These are immense aggregates but the achievement does not look so fine when we see that the average yield per acre was but PA bushels
 The prizes offered in this state last year showed that four times that aver more was raised on a number of acres in various parts of this state. and the crops of last year can be repeated this year or any other year whenever intensive farm ing is applied in this state
 The most important business before the people Of this state is the offering of prizes by the state-by the county-by commercial organizations-to induce men and also boys to increase the production or corn by intelligent and careful cul- tivation. When a farmer or one of his boys grows in a county over 100 bushels of shelled corn on an acre, the report of what he has done is carried to every part of that county. All see whet is poss- ble. All see what possibilities Alabama soil and Alabama climate offer
 The season is advancing, and the state commissioner of agriculture should be authorized to offer prizes for the best acres in corn in each county. The coun- ty commissioners should increase these prizes, and every board of trade and chamber of commerce should lend in this great work. Alabama should be rendered more productive, and bulletin No. 3S of the state department of agriculture show. how this can be done.

 Fertilization at this time is certainly unwise, and if any money is to be ex- pended in defense of the canal let it take the form of bataeships rather than of Notifications. The latter would never be used while the former would be, Con- gress should go slow in this matter. Pres ident Taft is urgent, while the best naval authorities are not. It is better to le. the matter go over year or two until the country has considered it more thor oughly. Our navy is equal to any prob- able demand upon it so far as the defense of the canal is concerned.

SUICIDE AT NIAGARA

From the Washington POst.
 An average of one suicide a week IS the record of Niagara Falls said Charles l.. Thomson. manager of large hotel on the Canadian side of the falls, at the Raleigh.
 "It has got to be so common an occur rance that tine people no longer become excited. The favorite route followed by persons intent upon self-descruction is by way of the American falls. At the foot of these falls are immense rocks, and the persons who goes over is ground to pieces. On the Canadian side, where the horseshoe falls are. there is a depth of sso feet of water. and the body of a person who is carried over the falls is plunged far beneath the surface. A few years ago woman who went over in a barrel did not appear until 4s minutes aft CT the barrel struck the river.

 Limburger cheese will always make it. self known. Swiss cheese will always be porous So says U. s. Baer secretary of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers associa- tion, who arrived in Milwaukee for the nineteenth annual meeting of the associa- tion.
 We have tried experiments" continued Baer. but they never proved a success We thought we had a cheese that con tained all the flavor of lmburger minus ,he smell, but it was decided failure.
 ''Then, again. we had a cheese tha, looked something like the Swiss variety but it was solid, no holes or eyes. But the taste was far from being Swiss Ii cannot be accomplished"

FoTtyiying The Canal

No one seriously questions the right of the United States to fortify the treaty leaves the subject to the discre- ton of the United States, and there Is no other treaty that stands in the way. There is really no room for challenging the absolute right of this government to erect Notifications in defense of the canal 1t has built if it be so inclined.
 But the wisdom of exercising that right Is quite another matter. Here is where the best observers disac,se. r. gu9x canal is not fortified, and it is almost as English as the Panama canal is Amer ican. No one proposes to fortify the Canadian border, and yet people live se- curely and happily on either side of it.
 The truth is the best naval authorities do not see additional security in fortifica- tons along the canal. In case of war the task of defending the canal would fall upon our battleships either with Or without fortifcations. No hostile battle

 | The secret lies probably in this: A society,". certainly as a whole quite as civilized, as refined, as well educated as cur own today, had reached by sort Of tact covenant a socialistic eonstitu- ton which gave it entire satisfaction. There were other interests than the petty duties of self government; the idle nan, like Ovid or Horace, rejoiced in his leisure and wrote verses the busy nan sought a jost in the emperor's serv ice, whether military or civilian, and rose by certain stages of promotion to influence and wealth., the rich patron of a borough could exercise his liberality in building in his native town, in feastng the guilds and in enjoying his irrespon- sible yet pleasant precedence; the client and the slave knew that while in theory the old father right and despotic family usage left them unprotected, the em- peror would step in to avenge any griev- GUS wrong; the philosopher and the Christian missionary could travel hither and thither without passport or peril to carry his message of warning or consola- tion.
 When the task of government and police was so willingly taken up by the em- peror and his men, why should anyone interfere with a scheme so admirable, division of labor so entirely N favor or the subject class?
