for it. Such things do happen.
They are extremely possible. In
fact scarcely session goes past
without some trade of this kind.
For this reason, the wise ones
say that vote on statehood can
not be prevented this session.
Back of all the politics, how
ever, in almost every senator is a
sense of fair play" which has
been outraged in times past by
the way the territories have been
treated, and this is going to be
responsible for big majority in
favor of statehood when they find
the day is lost and a vote cannot
be prevented. How some of the
senators feel about it is illustrated
by a conversation with one of
them the other day. In discuss
ing the question he said, II am
getting tired of being a party to
such game. That New Mexico
and Arizona should longer be de-
MED full partnership in the union
of states is an injustice to over
100000 people that under any
other conditions or on any other
question than statehood would
not be tolerated for a minute. Do
you know that New Mexico, by
every rule governing the case, is
entitled to just the same repre-
sentation in the senate and house,
that is two senators and two rep
resentatives, as New Hampshire,
North Dakota, South Dakota,
Oregon, Rhode Island and Ver-
mont. Do you know that New
Mexico would have a larger rep
resentation in the house than any
of the following states: Della
ware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
Utah and Wyoming. Yet, rather
than lose their control of the
senate, which they are going to
lose anyway, and because Taft
wants to sacceed himself, and
needs New Mexico's delegation in
the convention, they are trying
to keep New Mexico out until
next spring and keep Arizona out
even longer. l do not think such
high-handed methods can be kept
up much longer with success, and
look for both territories to come
in by big majority in the sem
ate, as soon as a vote can be
reached, just because almost
every senator realizes the injus-
tice that is being done"
When a vote might be had can
not be foretold now, but vote
will be held on the direct election
of senators on June 18th and that
will leave statehood and reciproc-
ity the two most important meas
ures before the senate. There
will be weeks of debate on the
reciprocity bill, so that it is pos
sible that statehood can be dis

Saloons or Dispensary

There is strong sentiment in Bir- mingham in favor of limited number of high licensed saloons. but when the elec- ton is held-sometime in August I nn- derstand-I think it safe bet that the county will vote for the dispensary sys- tem," said a prominent anti-prohibition- ist
 Tn many respects like the dispensary idea, but unless hotels are allowed to have bars under dspensary law I would be disposed to vote for saloons. It would be difficult to induce capital to build a s1,0ooOOo hotel here unless there be buffet privilege.
 "Dispensaries are great revenue pro- ducers, and should the vote favor the dispensary. the annual revenue which the county would obtain would amount to something like s75o000 Birmingham would get it's just proportion of this money. Many men who voted dry in 1907 will vote wet this time, and no matter whether or not the saloon is re-established. we will not have prohibition here much longer.''

A SULTAN ON WHEELS

From the New York World.
 For years Abdul Hamd never went out side his palace walls at Pera except at noon on Friday when he drove an eighth of mile to mosque, with 20 fat Pashas scrambling after his carriage and 10000 soldiers on guard. But times have changed.
 Perhaps Mehmed V has read in the sporting edition of the Constantinople Evening Crescent how President Taft is rounding up recalcitrant senators for reciprocity by travelling to Chicago and getting at the plain people, not for the first time. At any rate, he has set out for Salonica-the turbulent Turkish Chl- cago-with his sons and his suite, and from there he will go by rail and other wise to hear the grievances of his AL banian subjects who are off the reserva- ton.
 It is easier to begin to be a Sultan on wheels than to stop. Mehmeds masters eye and his Sultanic smile may be needed next in Yemen, where the Arabs are in revolt, or along the Montenegrin line, where the massing of Turkish troops has led to a peremptory diplomatic note from Russia. He will at any rate know more about his country than any father of the faithful before him has known for So years.

First Bale of the Season

The race between a bale grown in Cameron county, Texas, and one grown in Nueces county in that state seems to have been won by the form er One bale was grown at San Be nito and the other at Rivera. The San Benito bale was landed in Houston first because a special train had been chartered to carry it. The cost of the special train was $528, but expense is of small moment when the glory of producing the seasons first bale is at stake.
 Cameron county lies at the very mouth of the Rio Grande, on the gulf itself. Brownsville is it's county seat. Nueces county comes next on the gulf coast. It will thus be seen that lati- tude counts when one is attempting to produce the first bale.
 The first bale this season is eleven days earlier in the year than was the first bale of last year. All crops are early this year, and the arrival of the first bale from the Cameron county neighborhood has been daily expected. Cameron county surely cannot suffer much damage from the boil weevil when it can turn out bales in the month of June. The weevils get nc chance to lay eggs in bolls that oper in June.
 The news columns of The Age Herald will no doubt show which bale was sold as the seasons first bale in Houston yesterday. The San Be- nito bale certainly got there first"

What the Root Amendment Means

The reciprocity bill will be reported by the finance committee of the Sen ate without recommendation but with the Root amendment attached to it. 5t is but fair to state that the Root amendment was embraced in the original bill. It was stricken out pre- sumably in the House. The Canadian authorities do not object to it.
 This amendment aims to bring about the abolition of the export tax in Quebec, New Brunswick and one other province on pulp wood or tim Der cut on crown or public lands. As nine-tenths of Canada's supply of pulp wood is located on public lands the question involved becomes of gen. eral interest to the newspaper frater- nity at least.
 The Root amendment provides that only when the Canadian provinces re- move all export taxes on pulp wood rut on their crown lands shall pulp paper go free across the border in either country. At present pulp pa per pays duty of S5.75 in this coun- try, and 15 per cent in Canada. The three provinces impose an export tax on pulp wood because they desire to promote the building of paper mills at home, and these provinces abso- i1utely control their own crown lands, and the Dominion parliament has no voice in the matter.
 The Newspaper Publishers asso- citation prefers the passage of the reciprocity bill without the Root amendment, because in that case Can- adian wood pulp paper not derived from crown lands would have a wide, free market in the United States, and this would probably induce the three provinces to remove their export tax. The problem is complex. The Senate will probably reject. the Root propo- ition, and if it does the bill will quickly become law, for no other amendment has been attached to it.

NO MORE VALIANT KNIGHTS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Should would-be husbands be required to prove their courage before they be- come engaged?
 The suggestion came from a subscriber, who writes
 "I was ged to a man of whom I was, I believed, very fond, but I have broken it off in disgust because I sud denly found that he is a coward. Had 1t not been for that chance discovery l might have married him and not have found out until he was my husband, and tlen 1t would have been too late.
 q do not wish to pain the poor crea- ture further by describing his display of ccwardice, brt may say that his infirm- ity revealed itself as an inability to screw up enough pluck to punish a man who insulted me in his presence-in fact, he ran away rather than fight.
 ''No girl should engage herself to a man until he has, at her invitation, proved his courage and nerve in some conclusive. manner.
 "If I had insisted on his doing some- thing like that at first I should be spared the recollection of having been engaged to person of his type for nearly IS months.
 ''In olden days a knight had to estab- nsh his reputation for courage before he won his lady. Now nothing of the sort is dema nded and towards go through life respected because they never are tested.''

GASOLINE JAG THE LATEST

From the Washington Post.
 "They have a new one in New York, but it was imported from London" said Edgar M. Rice of Gotham town, who was at the Raleigh yesterday. This new one-pardon my slang-is called the gasoline jag, and claim is made that a
 or even owner of an automo- bile run by gasoline. can become drunk from the fumes of petrol or gasoline A dizziness not unlike that produced by whisky or champagne is often caused by gasoline fumes, and several times in London automobile drivers acted reck- lessly while driving. and on arrest always were released because they were drunk with gasoline fumes Some of the New York drivers have quickly seized the ex- cuse to avoid punishment when really drunk from alcohol. Such a plea might go with London magistrate, but I am afraid the New York police court judges are bit too wise to be fooled by such an excuse, if made by one who displays symptoms of the regulation jag"

 "I have been visiting one of our outly- ing possessions" said F. Stanley Faver. sham of Chicago at the Dewey
 q wanted a new sensation in the way of travel, and thought it would be worth while to take a look at Porto Rico. It was not much of trip but there was novelty in it, and that counts for some thing in these days, when we affect to be tired and blase.
 ''The Americans who are in government or private business seem fairly well pleased but notice that resident Amer jeans are mighty glad to see some one from home. The Spanish inhabitants cling to their old customs to a great extent, and a stranger is impressed by the re- markable devotion to canes Men, young and old, and even boys, carry some sort of a walking stick, and the Porto Rico dandies are very proud of the way they can twirl cane and make passes with it as with a sword.
 '"The dude of thesPorto Rico country is very proud of his collection of canes, and refers to it as his arsenal. The word is not inappropriate when you discover that many of the canes are of the sword vari- yet, with a concealed blade of some sort, and often dagger in the handle end. There are some canes fitted with Toledo blade, very old and valuable. Apparently, there is no law against carrying a sword cane, and very often a selection from all arsenal is used in street duels. The Porto Ricans are rather expert with swords. and they know how to handle the load ed cane in emergencies"

elect himself even to an eighth term. William Howard Taft is not at all sure he can be reelected to a second term. In other words, it is the elec- tion in November that troubles him rather than his nomination in June.
 The progressives in his party dis trust him. He has never been a pro- gressive, except under compulsion. When left free to do as he preferred he has always swung over to the stadpat side along with his brother Charley, who is multi-millionaire, and his brother Henry, who is a trust lawyer. He sees, however, that the progressives hold the winning cards. They are winning while the stand patters almost to man are defeated. In order to propagate the progress siveness he proposes, 1t IS freely stated, to throw overheard Sunny Jim Sherman, whom no one favors, and to secure a running mate who IS notoriously progressive. It is said Secretary of War Stimson is to be the man. He will, it is hoped, call out the New York republicans who stayed at home last year. How he can do that is a mystery, for he ran as a progressive for governor last fall and yet he was defeated. To say that he can call out a vote against the near at-hand Woodrow Wilson taxes cred ulity to the utmost. However, it is the best chance open to Mir. Taft, who has a very hard row to hoe.

STAGE FAvonITE OF BYGONE DAYS

FrOm lfe New 1OTK WOTiu
 To a generation brought up on Broad way drama Ned Harrigan was a name only, but to tens of thousands of older theatregoers his death will cause a sense of personal loss.
 Harrigan created a drama unique in the history of the New York stage and the memory of it remains fragrant through the years. He put Cherry Hill on the boards for the delectation of audiences not yet grown sophisticated and who went to the theatre for amusement and men who saw 'sThe Mulligan Guards Ball'' produced 90 years and more ago. who knew "Old Lavendar'' and hummed
 Maggie Murphy's Home still delight in the remembrance. How keen that re- membrance is was evidenced by the many letters lately received by the World in correction of an error in a.quotation from the march of the "Mullisan Guards' from Jackson street way up to Ave nue A.
 A simple and, measured by modern Broadway standards, & crude drama it was, but it contributed to the enjoyment of the town to a degree not attained by more ambitious plays. It appealed to a New York not captious in it's taste and is interesting today, mainly for it's romantic memories.

MRS. BARLow,s WONDERFUL COLT

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 At the tournament of the Women S Eastern Golf association, held on the Brae Burn links, near Boston, Mrs. R. H. Barlow of this city made a new record for the course, negotiating the IS holes in s5 strokes. To the uninitiated this may seem little. What occurred was the knocking of a ball over a course more than three miles long, putting the ball into IS tiny cups, all with only S5 strokes, big and little. By reason of superior physical strength some men can beat this achievement, but there are not many of these.
 It is also interesting that. of those in the first eight, four were Philadelphians, and there were six other Philadelphia women and two from the suburban clubs which may be called Philadelphians. Thus 1t appears that the Quaker La dies" who were not looked upon as dan gerous a short time ago, are now coming to the front, not only singly, but in bat talions.
 There Is a certain amount of civic pride in all this, but there ought also to be some advertisement of the game. There are a lot of anemic, listless women who do not know what is the matter with them, who might be restored to health and intellectual vgor if they would get out on Gods good green grass and use the muscles they have and develop them
 Golf is largely played by men in this vicinity, but the women players are in- creasing. Every woman who goes to the golf links means that some physician is going to lose a paying patient.

The Cotton situatinn

Henry Clews, in the weekly cotton re- view, says in part:
 For the moment the trade is inclined to be governed by immediate future weather conditions, and because of this and the apparent attitude of the bull interests to the old crop months, the gen eral run of speculators are disposed to assume a waiting attitude pending fur ther developments in the spot situation, and, as before stated, climatic changes either for the better or for the worse. The short interest so far as can be esti- mated Is undoubtedly large and should be given due consideration in judging market possibilities; but notwithstanding this, present prices for the new crop options hardly seem justifiable based on actual conditions nor do we believe they will be sustained unless some real rather than fancied damage to the crop takes place. Of this. as pointed out, there is as yet no evidence, and the prospects, therefore. still indicate record breaking | yield"

California,s Recall Amendment

On October 10 California is to vote lon constitutional amendment which provides for the recall of state of ficers, including the judiciary, by a majority vote. The proposition will ; probably be adopted.
 Like the people of Arizona, Cali fornia feels the domination and rule lof the Southern Pacific, which has Hong controlled the judges of that state. Although the legislature has Hong been authorized by two-thirds vote to recall judges, yet that form of recall has proven valueless simply Ebecause the Southern Pacific con- Itroled until last fall the legislatures las well as the judges.
 Last November the people took over the legislature and elected Gov 'ernor Johnson, who, although re- publican, is not controlled by any railroad, and the pending constitu- tional amendment is an effort to re- move judges who show plainly that they are agents of the Southern Pa cific and are moreover greatly given to the perpetration of judicial legis- lation. The case is strictly local, and what is considered desirable in Cali fornia because of railroad dominance may not be considered desirable in
 other stases. 'nThe people of Califor.
 nia have long been afflicted with g
 railroad and judicial monarchy, anc they have risen up to. throw it off. The vote on October 10 will be watched with interest in all parts of the country.

A Good Deal of Activity

Real estate values hold up well, and as the industrial situation here is im- proving right along we may look for ward to summer and fall with a high degree of satisfaction" said s. E. Thompson.
 'The Tennessee company starting up it's steel plant and pushing it's new con- struction work certainly means a great deal for this district. Then we have un- der way the building of the Tidewater line and a good many other operations on a large scale. The 1S-story office building which the American Trust and Savings bank is putting up will be fol- lowed by several other important build ing projects And in addition to what is entirely local the Louisville and Nashville's announcement for it's plans for double tracking has a far-reaching effect for good on the general business situation in this part of the country. Birmingham will continue to go forward both in population and wealth, and this will be one of its most prosperous years.''
