IN HOTEL LOBBIES
In the state of Ohio

T visited Cleveland recently where l had business matters to look after, and that great city seemed to be enjoying abundant prosperity" said Charles A. Calhoun, well-known and esteemed Bir- mingham lawyer. "The ore trade is one of Cleveland's mainstays, but notwith- standing the dullness in that line indus trial activity in general way was in ey- idence. Cleveland is a fine city and con tinues to grow at a rapid rate.
 "In travelling through Ohio l was inn pressed with the high price of farm lands in that state, and at the low price for which good lands in the south can be purchased for. I met Ohio farmers some of whom had farms that would com mand s200 an acre if they were offered for sale. A fair average for Ohio farms seems to be about $135 an acre. Think of itl We have In Alabama excellent agri- cultural lands that can be bought for $1O to $15 an acre. These Alabama farms can be made to produce as much corn as Ohio farms produce. Alabama can beat any of the northern states in the varie- ty of it's agricultural resources, for in ad- dition to hay and the cereal truck farm ing Is commercially successful and as everybody knows, cotton is great money crop in Alabama"

SHE GOT THE SOIL

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 There was bashful young man who was invited to, dinner party and was paired with the prettiest woman in the room. His seat at the table was in front of the roast fowl, which he was to carve And there was also fried sole in front ot him. And he had never done a lick oi carving in his life, for he was bachelor
 But he made the best of the situation by asking the lady at his side what she would have.
 "A little of the sole" she replied.
 He began to cut out a slice of the check ems breast.
 "No, no-the sole," she whispered.
 Now where was the soul of a hen? He thought for minute and then attacked the wing.
 ''The sole, the sole!' cried the lady.
 He looked for the feet but no soles were left, so he tried a drumstick. Blu, she still shook her head. and said, No, only want piece of the sole' Then did this young man arise in his wrath, stick a fork through the fowl. and put it all on the woman's plate
 Take it.'' he shouted, take it, body, soul and all"
 Then he helped himself to the fish.

Good for the Shirts

That there be good humor and gen. erosity and spirit of encouraging all good things in Birmingham was fully demonstrated in front of The Age-Herald building at noon yester. day.
 Lots of good men who wanted to subscribe to the fund for free band concerts in Capitol park, and who in some cases were too timid to do so caught the spirit of the shirt sale and generously contributed to the fund. Some bought the shirts because they wanted them; others bought them be- cause they wanted to give musical pleasure to the community. Both Culpepper Exum and Harry Jones, who conducted the auction with en- thusiasm, good cheer, and wit and humor, added tenfold to their present popularity.
 Many men came in after the shirts were all disposed of and wanted to buy for the purpose of giving to this fund. They were, of course, referred to the committee of ladies, and un- doubtedly several hundred dollars more will be privately subscribed during the day of this Fourth of July
 That there are hundreds and even thousands of generous and good-spir- ited people in Birmingham is devel- oped upon every occasion when they have opportunity to aid in any public cause.

Oscar Underwood's Development

"Mr. Underwood" says the Mobile Register, "has been able to unite the party as it has not been united at any time since before the war; and he has been able to guide it in a manner that has held that union cemented like. a strong tower of defense against at tack, and like an invincible army in it's advance in the great battle against the party of special interests"
 Underwood has, says the Montgom- cry Advertiser, "been equal to the oc- casion. He has established prestige that will have to be reckoned with next year when candidates and poli- cies are considered"
 These home expressions do but sec ond those from democrats and even independents in other states. Every where in our broad land there is praise of Oscar Underwood. This is felt to be due him because of his proven capacity, his modesty and his industry in the investigation and handling of a complex subject. All,

From the New York World.
 Evidence of the upward extension of the cost of living problem may be found in the s7.0Oo,O0O decrease in the value of the diamonds imported during the last Il months as compared with the correspond ing period of 1910, in the s3,0O0,ooo de- crease In champagne importations and in the diminished imports of silks, faces and dressed furs.
 These figures reveal the pinch of econ- omy among consumers of luxuries The value of the works of art imported in- creased, it Is true. from s2O, 33:33 333 to $21. 5O0,00o But paintings and objects of art have a recognized investment value. The point for the Tenderloin's concern Is not merely the 20 per cent reduction in the imports of diamonds, but the 50 per cent decrease in the amount of foreign cham pagne entered.
 This is an economy with a serious as- pect. It threatens a curtailment of rev. enue for lobster palaces and allied indus tries, and forshadows a period of depres- sion in the night life of the town. A decrease in the visible supply of cham pagne by more than 1Co0,oOO bottles, and this In the face of a proposed state tax on every bottle consumed, will directly discourage wine-opening.
 An ultimate effect of the pinch of the problem of living in these quarters will no doubt be to hasten measures for re- lief. The way to abolish objectionable conditions is to make them odius, and the discovery by consumers of luxuries that they have common cause for com plaint with those whom the cost of the necessaries expresses should enlist them In the ranks of reform.

too, see that he has convictions of his own and the courage to maintain them. He is consistent at every turn along the line of tariff reform with out the impairment of the govern ment's revenue. He is at all times a revenue-tariff man, serving to that limit as far as he can the great mass of the people and having little or no regard for the tariff beneficiaries who have exploited ever since the civil war the ultimate consumer at home.
 When Mr. Underwood became the party leader he mapped out defined programme, and that programme has been consistently adhered to, and so great has been his success at all times that he has now the solid party at his back. The democrats in the House have confidence in his leadership, and so has the country. The Register and the Advertiser are right in pointing to Oscar Underwood as an excellent and unexcelled leader.

Much Enthusiasm Aroused

Now that much enthusiasm has been aroused over the band concerts, there can be no doubt as to the adquate financial support which the ladies of the Music Study club will have in their open-air mu- sic enterprse, said member of the Chamber of Commerce
 While citizens in general probably ap- preciated the importance of the park con- certs, there was missing that spirit of CO., operation necessary to further and make fully successful movements of the sort referred to- Young MT.

Partition of Morocco

A French force is at Fez and Span ish troops are at ports in the north of Morocco, and a German warship has been dispatched to Agadir, the chief port in southern Morocco. All of the greedy nations are on the spot except possibly England, and England owns Gibraltar. If Morocco is to go to .pieces-and it does not deserve to survive-England will surely have a hand in the pie.
 The cruelty and fanaticism and bar barrie ignorance of Morocco leave lit- tie room for sympathy in the world at large. The present sultan is per haps the worst of a long series. He is scarcely half civilized, and under him Morocco has no chance to become a part of the civilized world. In a broad sense the entire regime in Mo- rocco long ago forfeited the worlds respect ana sympathy
 Germany goes to Agadir because she covets the copper mines in the province of Sus, and she proposes to remain there until both France and Spain leave Morocco and regular con- ditions are restored. In other words, germany wants slice of Morocco, and France and Spain may have to await better opportunity. There can be no benevolent assimilation there at present, and the policing nations of France and Spain, under the AL geciras treaty, will be forced to clear out after presenting a big bill of ex. penSes,

Train Robbers Among Grafters

That train robbery in the state of machine politics and state house graft was not so very illogical after all, and if it should be followed up by one as near Philadelphia as the first hold up was near Erie at the other end of the state, the business would be car- ried to geographical limit.
 The bandits near Erie numbered between six and ten, and numerous as they were all got away, and at this writing the detective force of the Pennsylvania railroad has not located one of them. They have proven them selves to be hold-up artists of the first degree.
 No one appears to know whether the train robbers were to the manner born or whether they came from the wild and woody west. They did not come from Harrisburg, because jobs there are as lucrative and less hazard ous than hold-ups. True, some of the men who built the state house have been sent to the penitentiary. Other jobs have not, however, been detected Until the state punishes all her graft. CTS she should not denounce her hold. up artists with undue severity.

The Colbert County Vote

"Instead of the local option vote of Colbert county being small as was stated in some of the early dispatches, it was very iarge-the largest except that of 1909 when the proposed amend ment was the issue" said a business man. "The county seems to have voted iority but the fact that large vote was polled was significant. The elec- tion was quiet, and that was a good thing.
 AS a prominent citizen of Cullman. Mr. Beyer, remarked In a conversation that I had with him Sunday, the re- suit of the Colbert county election will have a far reaching effect on local op- tion contests that are now pending. When Jefferson county voted dry in 1907, he said, people throughout the state felt as if the anti-saloon league of Alabama had won the fight for if the county in which Birmingham is situated could roll up a majority against the liquor trade most any other county would be able to do likewise The first election held under the new local option law shows that a great many men in the rural precincts are tired of prohibition as we have had it.
 Mobile votes next Thursday, and of course, the saloon proposition vii carry by a large majority. Montgom- cry follows close upon Mobile, and tho prohibitionists are sure to lose in that county. I am as much opposed to the abuse of liquor as anybody could be but I intend to vote for saloons. As long as Birmingham has a good con- mission government there is no dan ger of return of the dives. It looks to me as if the wet majority in Jeff ferson county would be as large as was the dry in 1907"

Electoral Reform in France

It was not army leadership in the case of war so much as it was cleo toral reform that upset the Monis ministry while its head was confined to his bed by injuries received at the tragic aviation meet. The new Gail laux ministry will have to grapple the subject, for the country desires cleo toral reform.
 At present the members of the chamber of deputies are elected by ballots arranged on the "scrutin Par rondissement" plan. One name only of each party appears on the ticket in each legislative district. The people seem to desire the "scrutin de liste" and proportional representation. In other words, they want on each ballot names for whole department or for considerable part of one. They de- sire to do away with village politics. They are willing to grant some form of minority or proportional represen- tation, so that bare majority will not sweep department which is more populous than the average American state. The radicals favor the scrutin de liste, but they hesitate over pro- portional representation. They are not willing to let in representatives of opposing groups.
 Just what Premier Caillaux will do in relation to proportional representa- tion remains to be developed. He is radical and he has been considered a friend of proportional representa- tion, but how far he will go when in office cannot be foreseen.
 Ballot reform is the leading ques- tion before the people of France, and tbe correspondents are predicting the bringing in of a compromise that will enable the new ministry to outlast the struggle. The country really desires
