MAUS TALKS
ABOUT OUR
DEFENSES
GENERAL MAUS Is NOT PESSI-
MYSTIC, BUT SAYS PREPARED
NESS FOR WAR is THE BEST
SAFEGUARD AGAINST 1T.
UNITED PRESS leased WIRE !

Portland, Ore, Jan. 12.-The most
vulnerable spot of the United States
for an invading enemy to strike, is
the coast of the Pacific Northwest in
the opinion of Brig. Gen. Marion P.
Maus, commander of the Department
Of the Department of the Columbia
today
During the course of an address
last night before the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce, General Maus de-
clared that if occupied by an enemy,
the Pacific Coast would be a splendid
base for their operations.
you are far from the East" con-
tinued General Maus You have
lines of transportation which can be
blocked and you can be cut of. |
therefore warn you to look to that.
Don't forget it, Precaution is good
thing for us.
This country has great natural
wealth and We want to keep it. You
don't want to allow the cupidity OF a
foreign nation to get the better of
you. To keep your wealth you should
take those precautions which are
sensible. You should encourage
that protection which every nation
should give to its subjects. and that
is competent force; and in this re-
spect | speak more of the navy than
of the army. A navy today is more
important on the Pacific coast than
an army. Every sensible man knows
that because if you command the sea
you prevent any invasion; if you do
not command the sea, you invite it.
You should help everything which
tends to protection of your coast"
General Maus then went on to say
that the question Of repelling an in
vading army would disappear when
the Pacific coast is as thickly settled
as is the East. General Maus said
that he did not believe Japan would
fight the United States.

'The passing away of Jack Curran, the popular custodian of the city hall. re- moves another of the pioneer citizens who settled in Birmingham while 1t was in It's infancy said city official. 'He was one of the unique characters of Birming- hams political life. His career was some what remarkable, for while he was ac- tive in political campaigns he always re- tained the good will of all factions, and held his position under each succeeding administration. During his long career as city balif he acquired a most remark able memory for names and faces, and could recall incidents and persons who had>keen arraigned in the police court for many Nears back. In fact, he was ire quently consulted by the city commits sioners in reference to pleas for clemency, and could relate from memory the rec ord of such applicants.
 'He was a true 1rishman, and possessed of a keen sense of humor. He had a fund of anecdotes based on ludicrious in- cidents that had happened in the police and effect.
 Jack will be missed, not only by his personal friends, but by the many ac- quaintances who invoked his assistance from time to time, forl he had a ready ear for tue appeal of the unfortunate and never failed to respond so far as 1t was in his power.'

tion and secure expert assistance in
 the enforcement of so important a
 statute as the pure food law cer-
 tainly in the beginning when the ques- tions arising under it are of capital importance to the public"
 It is noteworthy fact that while common laborers, mechanics, messen- gers and clerks in the government service have been well paid, men highly educated who fill important positions, such as the one held by Dr. Wiley, do not receive anything like the compensation they would were they working for an individual or a corporation. There are few govern ment offices carrying such grave re- responsibilities as tkat of chief of the bureau of chemistry. His pay is only $5000 year. Those under him, who have to be men of technical education, receive very much smaller salaries. There is steadily increasing demand for specialized talent. The govern ment can afford to pay well, and it seems niggardly when it fails to do so. In the meantime all right-think- ing men will rejoice in the Presidents decision regarding Dr. Wiley.

Approaching National Campaign.

The national campaign next year will be full of interest. It promises to be as exciting, indeed, as some of those of the 70's, sos and 90's. The presidential contest of 1896 was ex- ceptionally stirring. Bryan, with his 16-to-1 issue, was an untried but magnetic leader. Bankers and con- servative business men were afraid of him, but he had large following and the public was excited right up to the day of democracy's defeat.
 In subsequent presidential elections the republican party had easy victor ies. The democratic ticket seemed doomed from the start. It will be very different next year. President Taft, personally popular, has made serious blunders in his tariff policies. There is great deal of defection in his party and this defection is among men of strong leadership.
 The democratic party on the other hand, with a sane tariff record, has not been so harmonious since MT. Til- den was the standard bearer iii 1876 as it is now. MT. Cleveland was twice elected, but he won in spite of dissensions in the democratic ranks. Not only does harmony prevail in the democratic party today, but the dem ocratic candidates for the presidential nomination are notably strong with the people. Not since the civil war, perhaps, have the democrats been so well off in presidential timber as now. In view of all the facts, there fore, the democratic party has a splendid chance once more. The pros- poets for democratic victory are ex- tremely bright, and the forthcoming contest will be spirited from start to finish.

WESTERN SHOW ToMMA

From the New York World.
 President Cort of the National Theatre Owners association says that Winnipeg Ifs the best show town in the world" This is a new fame for the metropolis of the subarctice empire, and its publication enhances the attractions of reciprocity al- ready so pleasing to the intelligent.
 But Winnipeg, 1t appears, is the chief star in galaxy, not an isolated center of culture and theatrical performances. The same authority tells us that theatres are planned in 20 towns between Winni- peg and Vancouver to make a paying route across the northwest In our own western world there has been an equal development. For the past three years there have been opened there four thea tres year, each of which has cost not less than $300,00O And the southwest is booming.
 These figures will appear commonplace only to those who are unfamiliar with western conditions. Actors now living can recall when after leaving St. Louis a theatrical company would find only two or three one night stands before reaching California
 It is the growth of the west that sus- tains so many theatres in New York; Every play must have a New York record before it can command audiences he, yond Jersey City. So that the saving Winnipeg is the best show town in ,he world is an exaggeration. The title is ours.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Cotton In Limestone County

'The caterpillars are stripping the leaves from the cotton fields in North Alahama.' said John H. Peebler,sa young planter of Limestone county. "The cater pillars struck my county a few weeks ago. When the little pests reach a field all the leaves, even the little shuck leaves around the bolls are deyoured. A cotton patch after they have passed over it is a field of naked stalks.
 ''The farmers in my section are not ac- customed to this pest and few of them undertook to apply poison. Those who wanted to use 1t were unable to obtain Paris green or other preventives as the supply was absolutely exhausted earlier in the season.
 'I cannot say what the injury will amount to, but am inclined to think cot ton infected will be damaged 25 per cent. It is true the crop was far advanced when the caterpillars appeared in the northern counties. which fact Is gratifying to the farmers, for fields infected three weeks earlier would have been nearly ruined. l presume the bolls now about natural will open in good shape, but the late top crop is probably entirely destroyed. Prospects in early August for a bumper crop were the best I've ever known"
