Banker Morse Out of Prison

Bankers, as a rule, do not stay long in prison. Charles W. Morse was sentenced to q term of 10 years, but at the end of four years he finds himself in a hospital far from the prison. The former banker and ice king is an invalid, and a member of the cabinet actually went secretly to the penitentiary to see how ill Morse was. He was soon afterwards trans ferred to cot at Fort McPherson, where he is surrounded by his family.
 No one will wish the eX-banker back within the walls of the peniten- tiary, and yet this case shows what difference there is in this country between the public treatment of the rich and of the poor. Morse, like Walsh, will no doubt be pardoned, while behind the bars will remain small army of the uninfluential-of those who have neither money nor ''pull." Morse has both, and he will no doubt soon be released even from Fort McPherson. Even and just treatment is not often enough meted out in this world. No one expects it, and so no one is disappointed.

Costs to Keep Credit Market

"The market question is not settled yet" said a butcher and green grocer, "and I wish it was.

Now my wagons and bicycles, with men and boys, feed for horses, repairs, etc.. foot up close to m average of s10O per week.

Disappearance of Standard Oil

No matter how much one may have criticised the first great monopoly of the land, created by John D. Rock efeller and his associates, all must agree it has frankly and fully ac- cepted the decree of the supreme court. It has dissolved into it's 30 component parts. and there is today no comprehensive monopolistic Stan dard Oil company. Instead we have 80 distinct corporations in the various ,branches of the oil business. These s3C corporations may for the present cooperate. but as sthe 30 have no legal or official ties it is altogether possible that they may later on agree to disagree. The Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey will continue to exist, because it has some plants of it's own, but it will be less in size than some of the former component  parts.
 The decree of the court has been fully and faithfully carried out. The stock of the subsidiary companies no longer stands in the name of the Standard Oil The Standard Oil stockholders individually own stock in the 30 companies, once subsidiary but now, theoretically at least, inde- pendent, and the government cannot ask more than this, at least not un- til some evidence of joint action by the 30 companies becomes manifest

As to the Presidency

Hast June it looked to me as if Gov er1for Harmon of Ohio would certainly head the democratic ticket for President in 1912" said s. P. Walworth Of Chi cago. "1t looks different now It has Seen some years since I took an active part in politics, but I have never failed to vote the democratic ticket in national elections since I came of age about 25 years age. I travel considerably through the west, and visit New York once or twice a year. Harmon is good man. and would receive a big vote if he were nominated, but do not think his chances for the nomination are anything like as good as they appeared some months ago think. however, that as between Wood TOW Wilson and Harmon the latter would certainly lead

Market Potpouri

T don't think the people will get the benefits expected by many in the new market plan" said the proprietor of a popular cafe
 "rhere is but comparatively little gar- den or field stuff to market at this sea. son. Collards, turnips and turnip salad, and some sweet potatoes, are about all the offerings by local truckers at this time of year. Most of the local crop of sweet potatoes has been marketed.
 T think for the convenience of those of limited means, light housekeepers and others, most of whom pay cash for their daily truck supplies, that the truckers should be allowed to go their rounds as usual, that is earlier than 10 o'clock. Let those who wish to visit the special mar ilet space and carry home their supplies.
 'Yes. chickens and turkeys are some what cheaper than last year. This is in part due to the price of cotton, most probably. for the farmers are selling all their other marketable stuff and holding cotton. This has brought a liberal sup ply of fowls and other stuff from the farm, and of course this affected the price.
 Meat is some lower. and can goods. except peaches, are at a normal price of the past two years. There are good many rabbits coming to market from Mis- souri. Fish are at about the same price they have commanded for the past five years''

Mir. Taft's Authorized Interview

Mr. Taft's Outlook article reveals nothing new. He stands by his Winona speech. He thinks there is little relation between high tariff rates and the cost of living. The for mer produces revenue. He pats his tariff board on the back. After it has reported, he says, he will put the whole thing up to Congress. . There is nothing new in all this. There is nothing promising in it. He pretty plainly believes with his fel- low standpatters that the situation will result in no tariff legislation, and he is content, being, as he says, a candidate for reelection.
 But the careful reader of the au- thorized interview will not fail to see that insurgents are everywhere in it ranked as low, at least, as dem- ocrats are, and that he considers them outside the fold. He speaks of them, as a rule, as so many stran- gers.
 q have no fault to find,' he says, with either democrats or insurgents for trying to reduce any duties they choose" Further along he extoles the democrats because they have always professed themselves ready to accept any tariff reductions, adding by way of contrast, where the insurgents will stand I am not prophet enough even to surmise.'
 In no sentence has he word of kindness for "the insurgents" They are not recognized in the author ized" interview as republicans at all. They are not even called progressives or progressive republicans. To him they are insurgents outside the fold. So they have been ever since this ad- was begun, and Speaker Cannon and Leader Aldrich were duly installed as White House con- sultors.
 The insurgents are not deceived particle They have been persistent ly cold shouldered at the White House, and now in an authorized in- terview they are denied recognition as members of the republican party. In the presidential mind they are al together insurgents, ready to fly at the throats of the standpatters, who are the real and only republicans recognized by this administration.

Reorganizing Boys Corn Clubs

It is none, too early to reorganize the Boys Corn clubs of Alabama. The club in Calhoun county is to be re- organized tomorrow afternoon at the courthouse, and 66 more clubs should be rapidly reorganized. No county can afford to be without boys corn club, and the boys themselves in each county should take steps to organize themselves. Write to Prof. L. N. Duncan, Auburn, Ala, and he will furnish all needful information.
 The boys corn clubs are the hope of Alabama. The weevils are coming, and now is the time to spur the boys up to the use of modern methods in the cultivation of corn. One Talla- poosa boy grew 224 bushels of shelled corn on an acre, and an acre bearing that quantity of good, sound corn would be worth a trip of many miles to see. Few indeed have ever seen such a sight, but when Commissioner Kolb issues pamphlet setting forth the crops of all winners in the 67 counties of the state, together with a detailed statement of their methods and expenses, such crops need not be extremely exceptional. Tallapoosa is an excellent county. There are oth- CTS. There is not, in fact, county in this state in which the acre in Tal lapoosa could not be duplicated pro, vided the boy and the seed meet de termined to pluck victory from tho soil at the end of the season.

The Iron Market

The local pig iron market is firm at s10 on No. basis and if inquiry continues brisk it is believed that the price will soon advance to s10.50. Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular just received says
 "Ehe buying movement developed last week has assumed goodly propor- tions and aggregate sales have totaled more than the same period records for over three years. This, in connection with the railroad buying. has created more optimistic feeling toward the immediate future, which hitherto has been lacking
 Large interests have brought around tonnage of pipe and steel mak- ing irons. As it happens, the bulk of the buying has been by the larger companies, although the small con sumner has not overlooked the ten dency.
 Stocks on consumers yards are at low ebb, evidenced by the string Of continuing spot orders, which are in good volume. The number and char acter of inquiries show that there is an active interest for large require ments for first quarter and first half of next year and it is natural that prices will be influenced accordingly As it is now, those furnaces with iron to sell are stiffer in their views and the whole situation is improved

of people in this country would be some thing entirely impracticable and out of the question.
 Here follows some other paragraphs taken from MT. Underwoods Birmingham speech as it is reported in the columns of The AgeHerald:
 "The author of the Declaration of h. dependence knowing that all popular government before his time, resting on the direct decisions of the people, had failed and ultimately had reverted into uncontrolled despotism, rejoiced that the hour had come when a representative free people si,ss-
 Tt is now proposed to abahdon the rep resentative principle of government es- tablished by our fathers and revert to the direct action of the people to the prin- ciples of an Athenian democracy adapted to modern conditions si
 Our representative government was established to guard against the excesses which had brought tho ancient direct popular government to destruction. and because our government does not at all times immediately respond to public sen timent, there are some who insist that the principle of government is at fault and must be changed They do not re- fleet that at times they may mfsiudge real public sentiment, that at other times the instrument of the government Uhe representative whom the people can change by recurring periods if at fauD, and not the basic principle of the gov ernment itself"
 The man who talks out in these times as MT. Underwood did on that occasion deserves the thanks of all conservative men of all parties, and he does his coun- try genuine service

 The Underwood club amongst the uni versity law students is the second one organized in the state. Alabama is go- ing to put her best foot foremost in be half of her favorite son. Oscar Under wood is man the whole state will de- light to honor. He has shown a trench dous courage as the leader of the dem ocrats in Congress, for he was even able to withstand the severe pressure brought to bear from his own district to insist on higher tariff on iron, and stood firm for the principles of tariff reform for which he has labored so earnestly and so long. Oscar Underwood may not reach the presidency at this time, but he is presidential timber all right and his time is surely coming.

 Woods Hutchison in Exercise and
 Health"
 One of the most foolish and prevalent fads in physical culture is the tabloid" delusion-the idea that you can con- cestrate the essentials of a days eXer- else into about 10 or 15 minutes of "pre digested" whizzing with dumbbells or pumping with somebody's "eXtraszer," as Morris Mowgil effsky calls it, usual ly advertised under such headings as Health and Long Life for S1.25,n or "The Secret of Vigor in Your Vest Pocket" or "A Gymnasium in Clothes Closet" illustrated by a picture of some hippopotamus of creature, whose muscles have broken out all over him and who in his sworn testimony as sures you that with this system alone he has built himself up to his present elephantine proportions from spind- ling, narrow chested consumptive. The bare possibility of ever coming to look like such a monstrosity would send a shudder down the spine of any ration al being, but the ''eXtraszer' sells like the proverbial hot cakes"
 The "business,p so to speak, of exer- else for the brain worker or indoor man or woman is to pump the blood through the tired brain and little used muscles wash out their fatigue poisons, burn up clean the wastes of the food neces- sary to supply working power, and get rid of all these through the lungs, the skin and the kidneys. This process takes hours every day instead of min utes, and you csu no more accomplish it in two or three 10 minute periods than you can keep up your working power on three tablespoonfuls of patent, predigested humbH in place of three square meals.
 Moreover, the only place to get rid of these waste poisons adequately from lungs and skin is in the open air The sweat of thy brow is literally the price of life as well as of bread What the average business man or office worker is doing when he rushes | through his gymnasium cyclone fashion, chins himself 15 or 20 times, pumps on the parallel bar, or swings on the hori- zontal bar for five minutes, smashes the medicine ball back and forth, ham mers himself purple in the fact on the punching bag, runs 10 times round the racing gallery, and takes hot shower | bath and a rub down all in 1872 min utes, is simply loading himself up to l the bursting point with the fatigue poisons of muscular effort and allowing no time for their elimination. He came | to the gymnasium from his office with his blood loaded with the fatigue tox- ins of brain work. He adds to them an additional amount of muscle fatigue poisons and goes on his way rejoicing, both barrels loaded with carbon dioXide. | instead of one as before.

Business and Politics

There has been a marked improve ment in business during the past two weeks. In the financial centers of the east the pessimism which pre- vailed short while ago has given place to something of an optimistic feeling.
 Pessimists there had been who saw nothing encouraging in the imme- diate business outlook, owing to the approach of the presidential cam paign. Too much politics was the cry. President Taft's administration, which it was thought would be con- servatiye, and certainly not antag- onistic to the business interests of the country, has been disappointing. In going after the trusts there has been a great deal of play to the gallery, so to speak. But recently there has been a decided movement among business men, large and small, seek ing to check the radicalism that is distinctly irritating to the business world, and leaders in both parties now realize that the next admins tration, whether it be republican or democratic, must be characterized by conservative spirit that will make for return of solid prosperity. It is plain that if the democratic party is to win it's platform must be free from untried ''isms," and every thing that suggests visionary ideas; also that a conservative man of the Underwood type must head the ticket. | The impression seems to be growing that both parties will listen to the voice of reason, and this accounts in some measure, at least, for the inn provement in the business situation.
 With good crops next year, it is safe to say that high degree of prosperity will start in immediately after the presidential election.

WHAT SHAKESPEARE DESIRED

From lecture, What to Expect of
 Shakespeare, by J. J. Jusserand, before
 the British Academy.
 What Inc expected he did actually attain, and his life was a successful life. His eye was on Stratford, not on postelity. His dream was to end his days a we'll to do, respected citizen in his native town, and that dream was fulfilled. The idea of his being held later the Merlin of un- born times the revealcr of the unknown. the leader of men of thought and feeling. the life giyer, the pride of his country, never occurred to him, and would prob ably have made him laugh
 For his poems proper he took some trouble; he published them; they were works of art for his plays, a secondary genre in the common estimation, and in his, he took none; they were things of no import. He never printed any; a gaibed text of some of the best was given, he did not care; silly plays were published under his name, he did not protest; he left no authentic text in view of posterity which had never been in his thoughts; no books are mentioned in his will.
