 "A realization of precisely what it has hardly yet dawned over the citizens of Birmingham as whole. It is the history of Birmingham, of Anniston, Sheffield and the history of modern Alabama. It ought to be in every college and high school in the state. Yesterday an order for several additional copies was received from pr. owen for use in the Alabama Study club. It is now used for reference at the Poly technic institute at Auburn, but is not yet ordered in the class rooms. as 1t doubtless will be before another year.

Ten years and ten, my boy s,nce thou A wee, but shapely one, Vast laid upon my breast and now, Through all this quietness, Fond memory abdes, and thought Of thee. the hour supreme, When mother love through pain was
 wrought Unlike all other To feel that thou are near, my boy, To see those deep brown eyes, From out their depths to find the joy Thy coming gave, I ask No greater boom the golden beams, From setting sun then met, And danced with Love and Joy. till
 gleams From tWinkling stars Played hide and seek with rosy morn, When all the waking birds A halleluiah sang, My dawn Arose with thee. my boy My prayer for noble manhood true And Hope held out her hand With Love to make my life as pure. With toddling steps and prattling
 tongue Thou earnest to me alway, With little work, scarcely begun, For fingers sore, must have A kiss, and tired feet, a rub: And from thy dinpled arms So soft, I feel thy baby-hug. Within one year of mans estate, Yet sorrow thou hast known, The lesson still to learn, ere late, That hearts to lofty height And calm, must find the way through
 pain,
 As taught our Master, Who bore the cross, yet knew no stain.

WILL DISPOSE OF
 RATE CONTROVERSY

New Orleans, September 30.-The hearing now being conducted here be- fore Commissioner Lane of the inter- state commerce commission on the com plaint of Louisiana state railroad com mission against 30 of the principal rail- roads operating in the southwest has developed some knotty problems. While the Texas state railroad commission is not party to the complaint the testi- mony submitted yesterday and today would appear to make that body the principal defendant.
 An equalization of interstate rates between east Texas points and points in Louisiana are asked, but the testi- mony has developed the contention that the alleged discriminatory rates are the direct result of the determined purpose of the Texas commission to divert traffic from Louisiana points to cities of Texas.
 Prominent attorneys attending the hearing, which will be concluded today, express the view that the long con troversy as to whether a state rate can be made and enforced at the ex- pense of interstate shippers will be set tied in the final disposition of this case

Washington, September So.-(speclal')- It has remained for one of James Eads Hows army of hoboes to solve the |hoie question of the next presidential election and thus relieve the business of the coun- try from the pressure of year of 'am- paigning. Royal Duke Haggerty is the man. He proposes to settle the whole thing for the next eight years by naming Theodore Roosevelt for President and William Jennings Bryan for vice presl- dent. After the first term of four yea9s he would have the men swap places' Bryan going to the White House and Roosevelt to the Senate chamber.
 The duke has not consulted Taft, La- Toilette, Harmon, Clark or Wilson about the matter, but is confident they would readily fall in line.
 Washington at this time of the year IS a great place for dreams.

Stomach Sufferers
 Squander Millions
In Senr,.h q. Relief

Ths world is full of 5isogdered stom- achs and 9o per cent of the money spent upon physicians and drugs g"es in all at tempt to cure the stomach.
 People arc made to believe that in or der to gain health they must doctor their stornachg and use cathartics. So the dee 1vr gets his fec fer ths stomach treat nlent and the druggist for the physic, un- til the savings of a lifetime are exhaust ed and yet no cure.
 Let's be reasonable.
 The sick stomach is i'll every case the result of over eating, hurried mastication and improper choice of foods The nu- ceus lining all the way down the food tract loses it's sensitiveness, and when food is forced down the muscles fail to respond. They do not churn the food as they should. The glands no longer give out gastric juice to dissolve the food and render it capable of assimilation. The man has become 9 dyspe9tc.
 There is one sure WAY and only one to bring positive relief. Put into that stomach of yours the very clements that it lacks to get that food into liquid form. It takes pepsin, disastase. golden seal and other ferments to accomplish this. The healthy stomach contains these ele- ments. The dyspePtic stomach lacks part or all of them. Stuart's Dyspeptic Tab let is made up Of just what the dyspep- tie stomach lacks-Nature's digestives.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine, not a drug, not cathartic, They do not cure anybody of anything but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such ailments as arise from poorly digested food.
 While they digest the food the stomach recuperates. The mucous membrane is coming out of it's stupor, the gastric juice is coming to the surface, the mus cIes are regaining their power. Every organ of the body takes on new life, the skir gains eolor and the eyes are no longer tinged with yellow. You live.
 Why doctor and why drug yourself? Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will take care of your food while Nature cures you.
 Try a box at your druggists, 90 cents. Or. if you prefer 9 free trial package be- fore buying. send your name and ad- dress today. F. A. Stuart Co, 159 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

going abroad for good time had not seen half of their own country. Is it any won der that the people of Europe look upon the Americans as good things?
 T hadn't been in London a week until l was homesick, and 1 found that most other Americans were in the same fx. Then I went to Paris. and there they called me 'O-bro-an.' Fine for an Irish man. isn't it? One time wandered out to the entrance of my hotel and was rather pleased to see at the door a real black ne- gro, who looked like he might have been at one time a porter In a New York hotel. Close to the doorway saw a picture of an American railway train. and l looked long and hungrily at it. The negro ap. preached me and volunteered:
 Don't look the same over here, boss

Probably he paid license fee for the privilege of playing foolish Americ ans That's the way that Europeans nave. They can spot Americans the moment they see 'em, and there's no use trying to mas querade. They get on when you land and there's no escape.

BALL|NGER WILL
 NOT SUE P|NCHOI

Denver, September 30.-Former Secre- tary of the Interior k. A. Ballinger, who threatened legal action against Clifford Pinchot in the heat of the Alaska coal controversy, has decided not to make a legal attack. MT. Bal finger issued statement in which he said:
 Many of my friends urged me to institute a suit against Mir. Pinchot when he arrived in Seattle on his re- trun from Alaska. I would not in any event compel Mir Pinchot to defend a suit in my home city over the continent nearly 4000 miles from his own home This would appear to take an unfair advantage.
 But in any event I have definitely determined to enter upon no legal con- troversy with him, convinced as I am that the judgment of the American peo- pie as to those matters would be in- volved in such suit already coinei- dent with that of President Taft's view points, which was amiably expressed at my resignation, and of a majority of the congressional Investigating com mittee, it would otherwise repudiate my action."'

IMPETUS ID STORY
 OF COAL AND. IRON
SpOnOrs Tell of Growing g Importance of Work As
 Alabama History

Further measures in reference to meet ing the publication debt on The Story of Coal and Iron in Alabama by Miss Ethel Armes will be taken within the next few weeks,' said Jones G. Moore, chair man of the finance committee of the his tory issued under the auspices of the aBir- mingham Chamber of Commerce nearly two years ago.
 The matter of meeting expenses on the work has been hanging fire for several ad- ministrations. As stated in my report printed in the 1910 year book of the Cham Der of Commerce only fraction of the debt has been met up to date; The chair men of this committee who have precedd- ed me, Hon. T. H. Aldrich and Maj E. H. Tutwiler, have stated the facts before. am glad to say that MT. R. W. Massey, the president of the Chamber of Com merce, is actively interested and intends to push the interests of the book.'
 Speaking of the history MT. Massey said q have given Coal and Iron a careful and thorough reading and must say that it is a surprise to me. Personally I was under the impression-as I believe almost all of the people of Birmingham are-that the work dealt solely with coal and iron matters from technical and a commer- cial viewpoint I find I am entirely mis- taken. It is not in any degree a technical or an advertising medium, but a history in every sense of the word-and a history of the most interesting events of modern Alabama. It seems to me that the name has been more or less handicap, leading most of us to imagine it was merely 6 dry record of commercial facts. It is not dry
 Why the book concerns every phase of development here in the last 90 or 40 years, as well as in earliest pioneer times, and deals particularly with the growth of Bir- mingham. It is of importance to every ized 1t until I read it through for my self"
 The president of the Coal Operators as- sociation, George B. Mccormack, who has served on this history committee for five years, said: "The preparation of this book from the beginning was public spirited enterprise. Tt is hard to convince people of this fact. A great many have looked on it, until they read it, as kind of a boost for the companies. Why, more than half the book is concerned with pioneer development of work long before and dur ing the civil war, of men who were dead and gone before any of us stepped on ,he field. For two years the author of this book was gathering historical data. Mr. Aldrich and I, and several other commit tee members have written hundreds of letters to men all over the south for items of purely historical and not commercial importance. Gen. Louis V. Clark, Hon.

It is fine to be economical and save the government bundles of money, but no congressman or senator wishes this saw inp to he at the expense of his own con- stituents.
 For instance here is the navy depart ment who is anxious to effect great saV- ing by cutting out number of navy yards in various sections of the country which are of absolutely no use to the up-to-date navy.
 Is congress anxious to make this saw ing? Not so you could notice it. Every congressman or senator who has a navy yard in his district which is threatened is up in arms against the plan and IS using all his influence to prevent action. Ihis is all in accord with human nature which is always generous at somebody elSe'S ex- pense.
 Members of the supreme court of She United States are returning to the city in readiness for the opening of the fall term of the court a week from Monday. The first call of cases will be on Tuesday, October To- There are 4S cases on call for that day, covering a variety of important questions It will probably take two or three weeks to dispose of the cases that are called for that day.
 Among the more important to be argued are the Reading anthracite coal cases, in- volving titles to Indian lands in Oklahoma, a case arising out of the allowance of cer- tain elevated charges by common car riers, case brought by the government against the Terminal Railroad association of St. Louis the case against Patten and others. growing out of the alleged cotton corner, and the Alaskan coal land cases.
 There are a large number of less jn- portant cases, involving interesting legal questions.

One of the gravest problems that las | ever confronted this government has jusi ! arisen in the increasing frequency witt which young officers who have received their education at West Point or Annapo-
 lis has a large waiting list now. Where | there were formerly ten applicants Tor en' | try, there is now but one.
 The war and navy departments are worried by the situation that has present. ed itself. Maj.-Gen. Frederick Dent Grant recently called attention to the great number of privates and corporals who have been buying their discharge from the regular army. and admitted that he could see no reason why there should be exodus from the service.
 The problem, however, is made startling by the resignations of midshipmen and ensigns. If the number of graduates con- tinue to diminish and the men available for officering the army and navy continue to decrease, drastic measures will have to be taken to keep the military and naval establishments up to the standard.
 Experts say that the peace propaganda has something to do with resignations. With no prospect for war in the near fu- ture, privates and officers of the army and sailors and officers of the navy are losing their zest for military service. l. Is likely that in the near future. as soon as the cabinet is back in Washington, the entire subject will be thrashed out ;t inc White House, with view of deciding upon some method of meeting the situa- ton.
 Both the war and navy departments are periodically confronted with the question of withdrawal of young officers from the service. A resignation is accepted only when it is believed there exists an impedi- ment to the profitable retention of the young man. The navy suffers more than the army as to the number of reasons which disqualify an officer, one especial disqualification being susceptibility to sea- sickness, which necessitates resignation of many young men.
