The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-20

Mississippi. Houston is nearly abreast of Birmingham, and branch from Houston traversing new coal districts is by no means improbable. Such an extension would be helpful both to the Hill roads and to this district.
 Such an extension should be pro- noted and invited. This district has a good many railroads, but it will always want one more, for railroads are good things, no matter how we look at them.
 It is belived the Hill interests will not rest content until they have branches to New Orleans and to Bir- mingham, thus giving them ample outlets on the gulf and share of the great tonnage of this district. The Chamber of Commerce should keep the Hill roads in mind when it is looking for another railroad.

\ SON OF KINGSf

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The story that John D. Rockefeller is 6 descendant of the Plantaganet kings of England. While America is not resting her claims to glory upon her possession Of MT. Rockefeller, every American should resent the spirit in which this criticism is made. If MT. Rockefeller is not son Of kings there are at least no royal houses whose records are such that they have any reason to feel that the presi- dert of the Oil trust is not of kngly blood or blood as good as theirs.
 Judged by his faculty for winning bat ties and his attitude toward the small competitor in the early years of his prog ress toward the pinnacle of his fortunes Mir. Rockefeller might have been descend ed from Tamerlane, or Abdulah the Bloodshedder. His energy and his man. ner of overcoming difficulties by not let ting difficulties overcome him suggest that he might have been a descendant of Hannibal. Or he might be a Hapsburg The Hapsburgs began as petty plunder- CTS and became emperors
 All empires are founded upon principles somewhat similar to those that have been the dynamics of Standard oil. All thrones are upon foundations that would afford licher material for the muckrakers than the past of MT Rockefeller or the Oil trust There is not q monarch in the world today who could go before a jury and prove himself the possessor of the constructive ability of Mir. Rockefeller, and not one who could have started out 1 in life on $.50 week and become wealth fer than the Maharajah of Baroda and the NiZam of Hyderabad combined before | reaching three score. It Is doubtful fl there is one who would object to the em- poyment of the Rockefeller methods to
 increase his revenues, and certainly nc inrerialistic country would object to his
 ethics when setting out to increase it's
 ter irtorial possessions.
 | If Mir Rockefeller is not in a position
 to prove that he is not of royal blood hi.
 silence since the publication of the stoI,.
 dces him high credit. for the least sa id
 about it the better. But there is no req son why the matter should be agltatet 1 by royalty on the ground that the king,
 Of Christendom and Pagandom have beer
 slandered by the tale that the presiden
 of the oil trust is a Plantaganet.

Mesaba Ores at a Discount

The Steel corporation has given notice that it will cancel, at its first opportunity, it's lease of the Hill iron ore properties west of Duluth in Minnesota. The plain presumption is that the lease is no longer con- sidered desirable by the largest con- sumer of ore in this country. Wheth- CT this becomes the case because the ores in question are not high enough in metallic iron, or whether the terms of the lease, including the cumulative clause, are unreasonable, is not definitely known to the public. All that is known is, the lease IS to be cancelled, and experts will pro- ceed to tell the reason why.
 Mesaba ores are now averaging but 49 per cent in metallic iron, as against 38 per cent in the ores from Red mountain. The brown ores of this state are as rich as Mesaba ores. When transportation is considered no ores are so valuable as those lying in almost inexhaustible quantities in Red mountain. Especially will this be the case when iron and steel and manufactured articles can be barged from this district at low cost to tide water.
 It is very plain the tide has turned against Mesaba ores. Red mountain and Santiago are gaining favor among experts in the iron industry. Mesaba once ruled the roost, but it no longer does. Hard Red" right out of Red mountain is more than hold ing it's own.

Votes for Women

When the governor of the Old De- minion commonwealth predicted votes for women of that state within 10 years, declaring the change both logical and by no means inexpedient, the climax in the new movement is almost reached. Evolution of the democratic form of government, said Governor Mann, Heads irresist- ibly to this logical result, and how ever distasteful it may be to some of us we might as well face it and prepare for it's coming"
 As women want, above all else, law, order, peace and quiet, it is difficult to see what preparations are needed against the coming of woman suf- fragc. Women are not destructive. They are eminently law abiding and cautious. Wherever good women vote TO harm need be apprehended. In large cities the case is to some extent different, but the number of unprincipled woman never equals the number of unprincipled men in a large city.
 Governor Mann's warning is un- called for. It is not easy to say when there will be votes for women in the south, but when the time comes there will be no need of spe- cial courage or special preparation on the part of the male voters.

THE RECORD OF UNDERWOOD

From the New York American
 The formal announcement of the can didacy of Oscar Underwood for the pres fdency, indersed by his own statement will add new keen interest to the pres idential campaign.
 Mir Underwod is southern man, born in Kentucky, educated in Virginia and established in Birmingham. He has served in every Congress since the Fifty fourth, and has grown steadily in power and usefulness since his entrance upon public life. His talents and energies have teen largely concentrated upon econom- ic questions. Since the withdrawal of Senator Aldrch he is perhaps the best posted man on tariff questions in either house of Congress. With the beginning of the Sixty-second Congress he was chosen to be the chairman of the ways and means committee and leader of the democratic majority upon the floor.
 In this position MT. Underwod has dem- onstrated an ability so high, judgment So sound and 8 patriotism so sincere tha t he has won the absolute devotion of his colleagues and the full confidence of the coirntry

NO MORE BRUTAL SPORTS.

From Leslie's.
 Bull fighting, dog fighting and cock fighting are prohibited in the Panama canal zone through an executive order of President Taft. The order is not meant to overcome existing abuses, but rather to prevent their introduction. During the occupation of the Isthmus of the United States, these brutal sports, so dear to Latin America, have been a negligible quantity The immediate occasion of the order was the passage of a prohibitory statute by Panama, which resulted in the preparation of certain fight promoters of Panama to move their pits and rings over into the canal zone. All that President Taft had to do in the case was to dupli- cate the order that was issued for Port. Rico shortly after we assumed charge of that island. Bull, dog and cock fight ing always exert degrading influence upon society and the United States can not countenance any of them in territory oyer which it has control. But the Span- ish people who so delight in these sports may well ask us if there is anything especially uplifting about our prize fights

LOBSTERIAN PALACES
From the New York Sun.

From the New Nork Sun.
 After all, and as things are managed nowadays, why not the hotel and res to 1t, the very atmosphere prepares you the inevitable logic of the situation leads up to it. One resorts to these gaudy, hectic places with hls eyes open, he submits to an entourage of luxury, somewhat forced and artificial to be sure; he revels in the music, tho fash ing diamonds, the reckless, spendthrift environment. the flowers, the plate, the cut glass and the mirrors. He may rot get wholesome food. Tine mousses. the vol au vents. the surprises and the en- trees generally are perhaps as ashes in the stomach and weariness next morn
 ing. But all this has been known to every one of us long time. Are we welchers that we should kick at the smallest feature of the spoliation?
 The days of the inn and the eating house are over for those of us who lay claim to fashion. We are no longer content with the well swept floor, the simple though clean linen, the plain but well cooked fare, the unostentatious surroundings and the unpretending walters, who receive quarters and half dollars with grateful gcnulleNion. i,, tween the lunch counter and the palace of showy and mysterious inedlbles we no longer recognize practicable mid dle ground. We put on our war paint and go forth to the glittering caves where swart, predatory chieftains half disguised as servitors prevail, We sur felt ourselves with the kind of luxury those places hand out to their victims, leaving tomorrow to take care of itself, and then we childishly rebel because the pirates of the table and the hat rack take their paltry toll. Yet it Is all part of the game, and we ourselves are re- sponsible for the attitudes to which the | suhaltern buccaneers denlaie you with

Yonng Turks Still Control

The Saloniea junta is still power ful in Turkey. It recently reelected Ahmed Riga Bey president of the chamber by vote of S6 to 55. Every ministry is subservient to "the com- mittee of union and progress which meets at Salonica, and whose com- mands are law.
 This junta has been endeavoring to merge all races in Albania, and bloody and expensive process it has been. 1t has left the country with out funds to meet the war with Italy.
 A new parliament is to be elected soon, and if the Salonica junta IS victorious it will be difficult to see how a real constitutional govern ment can be established, or the war with Italy settled. Much depends upon the action of the electorate in choosing a new parliament. The Young Turks who rule Constantinople from Salonica will certainly contest every seat In that case great pres sure on the part of the powers will be necessary in order to render of the war possible.

Supreme Court Timber

The death of Judge Harlan is bringing out great many suggest ed names, and not few of these names arc barred by the age quail fication. When the President ap- pointed Justice Lurton he allowed it to be understood that he would not again appoint man to the supreme bench who did not have reasonable expectations of 20 years of service. In other words, men who are not over 50 years of age are wanted.
 All other things being equal, the unrepresented section, or circuit, will be given preference, but first of all a man of force is needed, accompan- jed by learning in the law and a de- termination to do justice under all circumstances.
 Some are inclined to criticize President Taft's appointees on the ground that they do not measure up to the highest standard, and yet Justice Hughes had shown high ca pacity in every place he had filled. The criticism will probably be con- idered unfounded 10 years hence.
 When the place of the lamented Harlan is filled MT. Taft will have named over one-half of the great court. One must go back to George Washington to find a president whc did as much. Washington named ar entire court.
 The general belief is that no mar will be named by President Taft t, fill the vacant seat until after Con gress meets in December, and tha then the name of a man with judicial mind will be sent to the Sen ate,

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Word comes from Kentucky that E. R. Bradley, the Chicago turfinan, has retired his famous old campaigner, Bad News. Tie horse has been sent to Mir. Brad lays Idle House farm near Lexington, There he will end his days in ease.
 Bad News is a good example of good horse retaining his speed to old age-as the age of race horse goes-inasmuch ar he is now Il years old, and has been ra cins ever since the season of 1902, when he made his debut as a 2-year-old. He is also an object lesson of the fact-though he has never been considered first class horse-that there has been money in the ownership of good racing tool up to the practical killing of racing in this country in the last two years.
 Bad News is a brown gelding, by Flying Dutchman-Black Sleeves, foaled in 1900. He began his career as a 2-year-old in the colors of Woodford & Buckner. He ran for them in the American Derby of 1903 at Washington park, finishing sixth. July 16 of that year Mir. Bradley bought him for $1500. He began to pay for him- self that year by winning the Dixiana stakes at Morris park and the Cincin- rati Hotel handicap at Latonia.
 The season of 1904 was the best of his career. He won 12 purses and the Colum- bia handicap at Worth. Each season since he has won for his owner. His victories were mainly in purse races, but among them were the Election Day handicap at Aqueduct in 1905, the King Cotton handicap at City park, New Or leans, in 1906, and the Nautilus stakes at Brighton Beach in 1907
 Bad News was named in the expecta- tion that he would travel fast. Several of his winning races were run in very good time. The mile and a furlong of the Cincinnati Hotel handicap was run in 1:52l4, with 110 pounds up. In the Nau- titus stakes he ran the mile and a six teenth in 1: A 4-5.
 Looking over the record of Bad News b years of racing we find that he started 1s4 times and was first 54 times, second 30 times, third 30 times and unplaced 70 times. In his best years 1904 to 1908, he won 24 races out of 42 starts and was ia the money in all but five starts.
 From a practical viewpoint the value of q racer is tine money he earns. Under this test Bad News was worth many times what MT. Bradley paid for him. His lean years were 1902, s95O; 1909. s29o; 1911, s42S; The winnings of the other years ranged from s40o0 to over s7O0o The total of his winnings was the very respectable sum of s47,s23.
 1nasmuch as Bad News is useless for breeding purposes he will be a pensioner at Idle Hour farm on the bounty of his owner. But in view of his faithful ser vice during the nine seasons of racing in different parts of the country, it is easy to see why MT Bradley Is fond of the sturdy old eampaigner. and is resolved that his remaining years shall be full of case and plenty.

The Hill system includes the Bur lington, which was once a system it. elf. It is now, however, a part of the vast Hill interests. In preparing for the opening of the Panama canal the Burlington road has secured con trol of the Mobile, Jackson and Kan sas City railroad. The latter road was sold under foreclosure proceed ings in 1909, and it is now known as the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago railroad, although it has no branch to New Orleans.

A London Landmark Gone

Most of those who have rambled about London must have lunehed or dined at Longs hotel in New Bond street." said q travelled man. 'I was reading in a New York paper recent ly that after 150 years of existence the famous hotel had closed it's doors and gone out of business.
 Longs was for generations a se- feet family hotel. It also had q lit- erary and Bohemian side to it-not Bohemian in the sense of absolute un- conventionality, but actors, authors and painters were often under the roof of the old hotel. Byron and Sir Walter Scott met there the last time in 1915. Scott in writing of Byron said he dinel or lunched with me in Long's hotel in Bond street. l never saw him so fuli of gayety and good humor, to which the presence of MT. Matthews, tho com . 1 edian. added not a little
 "The London correspondent of the New York Sun in reminiscent notes of Longs says that under the regency of the celebrated hotel it was great in gambling and betting. but that it was noted at the same time for refinemen and family comfort.
 1 Up to the last it preserved the | character and atmosphere of the old fashioned London hotel of half a cen tury ago. It's walters were for the most part Englishmen, the only men who could preserve that atmosphe

THE RIGHT POSITION

From the Huntsville Mercury Banner.
 Ned Brace, in The Age erald, believes that if Alabama is to send a delegation to the national democratic convention in- structed for Underwood, it should be for Underwood alone without a second choice. And Brace takes the right position. There is no necessity for Alabama with q candidate in the field, to express pref orence among other candidates. It would among other delegations.
