He is the editor of string OF
papers in his country, the author
of batch of books, and the trans
lator of more books. At the same
time he is boosting the game for

He has strong leanings toward
socialism. Last fall he was in this
country lecturing around from
city to city, and, incidentally, he
made a great hit.

more opium per capita than is

Four hundred thousand pounds
of opim are imported in the Unit

eight times as much as is requir-

Reciprocity Agreement This Week

The floor leadership of Oscar Un- derwood will be again tested this week when. the reciprocity bill is taken up, freely discussed and sent to the Senate. The serene Oscar, as he is called, is prepared to meet all the assaults that the lumber and paper trusts can bring to bear, led by that prince of protectionists, John Dalzell. MT. Underwood is ready to meet them and he will do it so calmly and comprehensively that he will not turn . hair. The truth is Congress and the country are beginning to see that they have in Oscar Underwood a leader whose judgment is fully equal to his parliamentary skill.
 The Canadian agreement is by no means an ideal measure. It is simply step n the right direction, and it's passage may induce the President to go further in the reduction of the cost of living through the negotiation of reciprocity treaties with other American countries. while Congress itself makes breaches in the general tariff wall for the introduction free of the necessities of life controlled by trusts. For example, the meats of the meat trust. When Argentina and Australia can land here free of duties mutton and beef the beef trust may relent and prices may be restored to normal figures. And so it will be

Minimizing Mine Horrors

The Hollis bill, variously amended, has become law, and it is believed strict enforcement of it's tems will go far toward requiring proper equip ment of every mine, thus lessening the effects of negligence and indif- ference on the part of miners. The new law has not been published, but it is known that much care was taken in it's preparation. Governor O'Neal himself gave no little time to the various provisions of the bill, striv- ing to give the miners protection up to the best practice of mines in any part of the world.
 It is just as certain that mine catastrophes can be minimized as it is that they can not be wholly abol- ished while human nature remains imperfect and at times exceedingly negligent. Between, however, Ala pama's new law, when we'll enforced, and the federal rescue corps and its instruction it will no doubt be possi- ble to render mine horrors in this district of rare occurrence.
 What is needed now is a strict en- forcement, no matter at what cost, of the new law. The state inspection and supervision should be held up to the highest standard, and every coal mine operator should be compelled by law and for humanity's sake to con- form to the new regulations of the Hollis bill.

THE WAY TO EAT

From the Kansas Industrialist.
 Suppose your husband brings someone home to dinner, without saying a word to you about it in advance, and it just chances that your maid, if you have one you do about it?
 This is one of the important subjects treated in an interesting little book just issued by the department of domestic science in the Kansas State Agricultural college But the book discusses other equally vital questions. It has explicit directions for the young men who are now taking their first scientific instruction in table manners. These directions, prepared by Mrs. Mary Pierce Van File. the dean of women, are clear and sensible. A chap ter on Things to be Remembered'' should be particularly valuable, because it con- tains the tips about the actions and general conduct of men and women in eat ing that cannot fail to make life in the dining room pleasanter and less exciting
 For instance, don't begin talking until you are sure someone isn't about to say grace. D
 Spread the napkin upon the knees with one fold. Don't try to wrap yourself in it and don't put it in your collar. The book doesn't say this in so many words but that is because the author is consider ate of other personal fralties. It does say, however, that only the lips should be wiped with the napkin, and. Tn another paragraph, that in unfolding it one should not wave 1t about the head, or words to that effect.
 In using the knuife and fork, hold them by the handles, not by the blade or tines. Do not gesticulate with these articles.
 Do not talk while your mouth is full. No one can understand you anyway, and it is the proof of i'll breeding.
 Take your time when you eat. Even in a railway station you usually have 20 minutes. and that is time enough for any one.

HOW HEREINAFTER GOT ITS NAME

From the NeW 1oIh Noiio'
 When the Hudson Bay Trading com pany commenced trading among the In- dians it was found that by selling the Indians liquor they could more easily be induced to trade their peltries.- The flrst whisky was brought to this country in large barrels, but in transporting it over land 1t was found more convenient to d. vide it into small kegs.
 The white traders soon became aware, according to the American Wine Press, that by diluting tiie whisky with water more furs could be obtained. This was nractjced for some time, but the Indians learned that good whisky poured on fire would cause 1t to flame up, whereas had the whisky been diluted, the fire would be quenched.
 It was by this simple experiment that inc term 'frewater' became common word among Indians. A chief who had axnerienced the bad effects of whisky among his people said it was most cer- tainly distilled from the hearts Of wild- cats and the tongues of women, from inc effects it produced.

TRAGEDIES OF THE HOUSE

From the Washington Post
 "There has been many a tragedy writ ten in the lives of men in Congress that never became known" remarked Lafe Pence, formerly in the House from Colo rado, who is at the Riggs, after having spent several weeks in Cuba.
 '1n 1894, at the last session of the Fifty fourth Congress-you will remember the republicans had reclaimed the House from the democrats-among the veterans who had been swept out of public life by the republican landslide were Dick Bland and Holman of Indiana. They had been members of the House for k quarter of a century, and it was their first defeat. They were seated in the democratic cloakroom talking. You may imagine that there was much gloom in that part of the House, while the repub- licans were shouting with laughter at the other end. Speaker Reed passed, and as was his custom, he stopped to joke with the democrats. When he approached Holman and Bland. the latter spoke up: Tom I have just been telling Holman that l am Detter Dnancler tndu ne Reed wanted to know If he based his as- sertion on his fight for free silver.
 No said Bland. Holman and I start ed out In public life more than 26 years ago. Each had about the same amount of worldly goods. 1eo acres apiece, though, of course, in different parts of the coun- try. Now Holman tells me that he IS still paying the interest on his mort gage, and I-well, I paid the last install ment of my mortgage two years ago. It is on that I base my claim as a better financier
 Think of it." said MT. Pence, more than quarter of q century members of the House and their property still en- cumbered. As Reed passed out his face wore a serious expression-he liked both Bland and Holman immensely-and ile said to a republican friend: What books could be written here on this floor The little pleasantly of Bland was tragedy in the mind of Speaker Reed. And it Wasp

Dr. Wiley's Easter Warnings

The holiday festivities that attend Easter of the present day have brought out warnings from Dr. Wiley that parents should heed. His warn ings are directed against the cheap confectionary-the candy eggs-and the colored eggs that are rolled on the lawns. The latter are often col ored with poisonous coal-tar dyes, and the pure food expert of the agri- cultural department urges the use of the harmless dyes that bear the gov ernment stamp of approval. The poisonous dyes pass through the cracks in the egg shells, and when children eat them bad effects follow. And so they do when imitation candy is eaten, and very much of the Easter candy is not product of sugar at all.
 Dr. Wiley's warnings should be needed this week. Easter festivities generally cover an entire week, and in that time eggs colored with poison ous dyes and cheap candies should be avoided. Retail merchants are ire quently deceived, and every parent should ascertain what she is purchas- ing when she buys stuff that may be eaten by little ones.

Judge Noah B. Feagin

Birmingham's grand old man, whose long service had brought him in touch with that army of small of lenders that is found in every city, has been thrown out of office by the city's commission. The new govern ment did not question Judge Feagin's capacity or integrity. While wield- ing the ax in the matter of lessened expenditures the judge, who had dealt with all that the police depart ment could gather in, was officially decapitated.
 No one need stop to criticize the commission while regretting that one who knows the ins and outs of minor offenders-their environments, their methods and their excuses-should be relieved from public service. Human ity and justice were applied by him bo oHldli AulouSlHSdHdHIo Witii idIS judgment and still rarer knowledge of conditions. The negro offender was as an open book to him. He could read him at a glance. No doubt Recorder Black will prove a capable official, but no young man can deal with the city's daily grist of offend CTS as the veteran Feagin did.
 The passage of the juvenile court bill might have opened a way for re- taining Judge Feagin's rare skill. This court is to handle delinquents under sixteen years of age. It has been formed not so much to pun ish as to reform any child brought before it. The child's history is to be studied and a remedy then is to be sought that will lift the delinquent out of a pitiful predicament to the life and education of a normal child. The new law is broad and humane, reaching to all unfortunate children who have or who are in fair way to go astray. It calls for no mingling of such a child with criminals in jail. The county and city slip in through the terms of the new law to become the child's gardian.
 If the governor, however, does not see his way clear to appoint Judge Feagin to the juvenile court the citi- zens of this community will doubtless find something worthy and congenial for this esteemed leader in practical reform and uplife work.

BIRMINGHAM's START

From the CnattanOOsd liiieS.
 The first meeting of the Birmingham commissioners was held Tuesday morning, and at one merciless business lick IA of- ficiaIs-useless, of course-were dispensed with, and the city's salary list curtailed nearly $S2,0OO annually! Whether this amount of money will be saved from the salary list, of course cannot yet be said, but the commissioners announce that the saving will not only be permanent but wil be increased as other sinecure and small jobs are topped off These Birmingham commissioners have announced that posi- tions will be give out for merit alone, and that political pull will count for nothing; further, that there will be no jobs not absolutely needed in the efficient admin istration of the public business. and, as s last admonition to applicants for places. that every official will be expected to do days work. There will be no sine cures. and an official who can easily per-
