Prohibition Politics

q was a prohibitionist in 1907 and voted dry in the election which abolished the liquor traffic in Jefferson county; would leaders in the Conner legislature acted with any degree of moderation" said profes- sional man.
 'I was truly sorry when liysterical law makers passed the Fuller bill and adopted l the proposed amendment measure. Had the legislature provided for the sale of beer and the making and selling of do- mestic wine this state would, think, have remained in the prohibition column for some years to come. But, like thousands of other prohibitionists, I voted agains. the amendment, voted aganist the candi- date for governor who had been commit- ted to the amendment proposition, and l will now vote for the open saloon rather than the dispensary. Theoretically spealS-
 ing, the dispensary seemed to be pretty good substitute for the saloon. It seemed to be a temperance measure and bis revenue producer.
 Three weeks ago I had intended voting for the dispensary, but it did not require very uiucH dHdlyZlHR or very much oD- servation of the situation or very mucn imagination for one 10 reach the con clu sion that the dispensary would mean 6 continuance of the blind tiger and would fail to satisfy large part of the well behaved drinking public. 1t seems to ms that our saloon opposition friends have overdone the 90-room, hotel bogy and sev eral other bogies.
 Governor O'Neal has given the publi, absolute assurance that he will appon
 only high class men as excise commis sioners, but that really would go withou saying. l cannot look ahead 10 years an, i visualize conditions that might obtai l then, for ten years from now the Birmng

 Three things will combine to make it SO

The Iron Market

"A feeling of confidence prevails" sd; Matthew. Addy & Co.,, in their marke report this week, 'and 1t looks as ii things are moving in the right direction at last. Mills are busy, especially SC when we take into consideration the tinls of the year, and consumption in pig iror goes on at very satisfactory rate.
 Several merchant furnaces in the val ley are preparing to blow in. following the recent improvement and prices of basic iron are stiffening materially in the east Southern basic, too, has felt the activity and has been selling for delivery into western territory
 Tn the south the iron masters are be, ginning to feel very much more optimis- tic. At the same time, they are keeping their heads and don't intend to put in any more stacks until they are absolute ly sure that the situation warrants it. The basic output has been increased slightly, but this was necessitated by the demand. Foundry irons there are firm, the demand being more and more of 1912 delivery. This speaks well for the situa- ton, but quotations are being confnel to the present year by nearly all of the furnaces.
 "Ohio foundry irons have come in for a large share of this weeks business. Some excellent sales are reported at prices which are highly satisfactory.
 Enquiry seems to shift around from week to week Today there is more from this particular territory-from Ohio and Indiana-than for some time past. In Chicago the most clrcumspect buyers are watching the situation closely and trying to cover for delivery as far into the fu- ture as possible. There are number of inquiries out for high silicon irons
 ''The situation Is undoubtedly improving and the stiffening in prices is unquestion= ably warranted"

Virgipia's CapitaI

"All the larger southern cities made believe, good exhibits in the last census, T said E. b Worthington of Philadelphia and Birmingham made a notably strong showing. This city's percentage gain-24. per cent-was much talked about As well as l recall, Birmingham showed larger percentage of increase than any other city above the 100000 mark. Take the south as a whole and all the important cities from the Potomac to the Rio Grande are pros- pering. Atlanta, with its census popula- tion of 154,000, continues to grow steadily, and l suppose Birmingham is still grow ing. It is safe to say this city will make some big strides between now and 192e no matter what 1t is doing at this time
 Within the past two years Richmond has shown the largest development of any southern city. It began a great forwar1 movement, I am told, about five or six years ago, but I have had occasion to visit that city several times within the past two years and whenever I am there I marvel at the splendid buildings which are going up
 T was in Richmond for the first time in 1890, and that broad, level stretch of land west of the college was then fin the country. It was all old field Now that section is not only in the city limits, but 1t is elegantly built up. I saw many pala- tial houses there and no house that looked poor or cheap. I did not learn what the rules and regulations of Richmond were as to building, but it is evident that no one is granted a permit to build a house in the fashionable West End except of brick, stone or concrete construction Twenty years ago architects of artistic taste and large ideas might have starved to death in Richmond and other southern cities, but now every house costing from s4o0O to 5000 is designed by a competen, architect, and consequently esthetic treat ment is in evidence to charm the beholder

No VETO IN THE NEXT coNcLAvE


 From the New York Sun.
 One of the first acts of the Vatican after the electiont'of Plus K eight years ago was to issue decree ending the so-called "veto power," the practice, that is to say, of announcing in the conclave that some one of the Catholic powers would object to the choice of given candidate. The effective penalty attached was immediate communication for the cardinal who should offer to state the objection. which would at once exclude him from the conclave. The cause for the decree at that time was taken to be that Austria had opposed the candidacy of Cardinal Rampolla del Tindaro to Leo NILS succession the objection being de- cared by an Austrian cardinal in the conclave when the majority of votes was in his favor
 For centuries the right of interfering with the election had been exercised by the holy Roman empire and Austria, its successor, by France and by Spain. Two of these powers have since forfeited their claim upon the Vaticans compliance, for France, 'the churchs eldest daughter, the land once of "the most Christian King" was broken with the church, and the most Catholic King of Spain has allowed the relations with Rome to be- come strained. Only Austria Hungary holds true, and she is warned now that she will not be again permitted to be the spokesman for the Kaiser in the coming conclave.
 The republication of the decree at the present time is due, doubtless, to the continued ill health of Pope Plus x. While there is. no strong reason for alarm sc far, his age and protracted weak ness must make those about him think of possibilities. Making the conditions of the next conelave clear may be premature; speculation as to successor surely Is. Should it be necessary to call conclave, however, before the Pope can hold a con- | sIstory, the number of cardinals sum- moned will be remarkably small, and the proportion of foreigners to Italians will | be greater than ever before.

National Politics

We all know the uncertainty of poll ties" said w. M. Weisman of Chicago.
 Six months ago I would have been will ling to bet money that the democrats would win a sweeping victory in 1912 I still believe that the democrats have a reasonably good chance of winning. hut the republicans have great way of get ting together every four years, and it would not surprise me if President Taft succeeded himself.
 "Of the two leading candidates, Gov. Judson Harmon and Gov. Woodrow Will son. the former seems to be stronger than he was even before Wilson loomed ID. In travelling through the west recently met many democrats who were strong advocates of Harmon, and I understand that In the east the Ohio statesman is quite strong. When I first read in the papers about Congressman Underwood as presidential possibility I thought it was merely favorite- e-son-idea,' but it strikes me as being not at all improbable especi- ally in the event of deadlock over liar mon and Wilson, that the honor of lhe nomination will fall to the able parlia- mentarian and tariff ~ reformer of the House Of Representatives. I am not ac- tive in politics, am simply like millions of others-a plain democratic voter rne party has certainly been more harmonious of late than usual. but MT, Bryan may cause some fractional trouble, and if so the republicans will have an easy vic- tory"

General Reyes Opposes Madero

When Diaz was president he readily saw how popular General Bernardo Reyes, he>head of the army, was, and he sep4xhim to Europe on diplomatic ' mfssion manufactured to order. There Reyes stayed until the revolution came and Diaz had been upset. Reyes came back from Europe. At first he agreed to serve as secretary of war in a Madero cabinet. As time went on he, however, recanted and now he is a candidate for president against Madero, and he has begun to have rallies, mass meetings and the like.
 The election is about six weeks ahead, and all accounts agree that it is to be real election, something Mexico has never known. The race is to be between Reyes and Madero, and Gomez may be third candidate. The church party declines to be dragged into political contest. There is no bitterness, it is said, between Reyes and Madero, and Mexico bids. fair to have an election that will be novelty in Latin America. The chances still largely run in favor of the election of Madero, partly because it was he who drove out the dictator, and partly because he stands pledged to support needed land, educational and judicial reforms. Mexico needs a reformer very much.

HOW BERLIN HANDLES SEWAGE

HOW BERLIN HANDLES SEWAGE
 From the Chicago Record Herald e The 100000 daily cubic meters of Berlin's sewage have converted sandy waste into beautiful and profitable agricul- tural area. Throughout this tract inten- sive farming is carried on upon a large scale and small fortunes have already
 been made by tenants who have taken up sections of this we'll irrigated land. Twelve thousand cows pasture on the luxurantl grass and provide the city's milk supply There is even lake in
 which carp noted for their fine flavor are grown.
 The vast amount of sewage is sub jected to treatment which renders it per fectly odorless and innocuous. Already
 the meats, fruits and vegetables raised on this area suffice to supply the needs
 of all the city's hospitals and similar pub lie institutions. Thus what elsewhere is
 commonly all offense and an expense has
 been turned by Berlin into an advantage and profit.

CONCERNING PLAY

Many persons in this city will be
interested in the play which will be

the affair as published in last even
ing's Indianapolis News as follows:
One of the leading factors in the
success of Rob Roy" as it will be pre-
sented by Indiana university tomor-
row night, will be the work of the
chorus of goods. The girls have been
drilled by Bert Harris. of New York,
who has wide experience with eastern
theatrical troups, and special dances
will be given with professional skill.
The setting of the opera in the high

ity for special scenic effects.
Several of the principals have ap-
peared in former operas at the state
university as members OF the chorus
and now they have risen from the
ranks" to- more prominent parts. Miss
Ruth Edwards of Spencer, who takes
the part of Lieutenant CORVALLIS. will

on Smith are others who have been
promoted in college operates.
Among the Indianapolis people who
will take part In the production are
John l.. Geiger. in the role of Tammas
MacSorlie. henchman OF the mayor OF
Perth. In the chorus of villagers will
be Dorothy Thornburg. Albert Stein
hilber and Charles Piper. and in the
orchestra Paul Clements, Walter Tin.
s;ey and Helen Hovey.
DIR. Fl. G. Alburger has the leading
role OF Rob Roy McGregor. This will
probably be his last appearance in
college opera, as he comes to this city
partment OF the School of Medicine.
With the exception of Mr.. Geiger. he

uating classes Of the two high schools
