Immediate Peace Improbable

Madero demands the immediate
 retirement of Diaz, and dignity on
 the aged presidents part forbids this.
 For this reason peace in the imme- diate future is not probable. The in surrectos demand more than the fed erals will grant while they remain intrenched at the heart of the coun- try. Madero's armed forces are about Juarez, which lies across the Rio Grande from Fl Paso. At Fl Paso the Rie Grande ceases to be a boun- diary line and Juarez is, for that and other reasons, an important strategic point. A very considerable battle will probably be fought, therefore, at the extreme northern end of the re- public, in the province of Chihuahua.
 The demands of Madero show that he is confident of victory-that he sees rising tide and he proposes to secure by arms what no one can se-

In Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen

It is pretty well determined that the Panama canal will be opened in a closing month of 1913, and the Southern Commercial congress pro- poses a demonstration or convention in New Orleans to be held just before the opening of the canal. There would be no exposition, but there would be street parades and speeches in which the ambition of the south would be set forth.
 The Mobile Register moves to amend by providing for chain of conven- tions at Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile just prior to the gathering at New Orleans. In other words, be- ginning at Birmingham leaders in southern development would leave the Birmingham celebration to attend in order those in Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans, after which all would steam away from some gulf port to be on hand when the canal is actually opened.
 The opening of the canal in 1913 is to be epochal to the south, and the south should wake up to the great 1Nf 1 velopment is now in the air and by 1913 it will be an expressing subject that will fill all alert minds in this section of the country. The proposed celebrations would add information and ideas to the great movement that is to carry the south forward as the booming section of the entire country.

Progress in New York

F. Martin Townsend has left the ranks of New York's four hundred to accept place in the democratic army of that state. He has left the idle rich to join the busy rich, and in or der to secure the peaceful progress that he covets he asks his new allies, or associates in the democratic party, to accept this platform;
 Popular election of United States senators.
 The initiative, referendum and re- call.
 A lowering of the "iniquitous pro tective tariff" which he calls public crime.
 Reciprocity with Canada.
 Woman suffrage.
 A universal eight-hour day.
 The abolition of child labor.
 The substitution of economic jus tlce for charity.
 Adequate inspection of factories and mines.
 Workmen's compensation that will really compensate.
 The reform programme is but an other indication of the rapidity with  which changes in our framework of government are advocated now-a- days, and some of the changes are being put in a fair way to be adopted MT. Townsend does not mention the income tax proposition. He is him. self millionaire, and he may con- slider the income tax as thing ac- complished, and he will certainly see it followed by Amendment Seventeen, which will provide for the direct cleo tion of United States senators. No reform is more needed than this. z

cure by ballots in a Latin-American country. He proposes to oust the pow CTS that be, and his demands indicate that the insurreetion is spreading and that the provisional president is con- fident that Diaz will be overthrown.
 The insurgents in Mexico do not feel kindly toward the Taft adminis- tration. The entire mobilization on this side of the Rio Grande has served the purposes of Diaz excellently, while it has crippled the supplies of Madere. If the rebels win, the United States will not have at Mexico City a government that will seek the friendship of this country as Diaz has done
 All now turns upon the fortunes of war. A battle no doubt is to be fought at Juarez, and other battles will follow until the one leader or the other is installed by the sword. No one can say at this writing whether the executive head of the future in Mexico will be Madero or Diaz.

Passage of. Reciprocity Agreemen

Passage Ofs Reciprocity Agreement
 Under the sound and consistent leadership of Chairman Underwood the six-days' battle in the House was brought to close on Friday, and the agreement with Canada was approved in that body by a sweeping major ity-265 yeas, 89 nays. The vote and the entire situation serve but to show the Aux nature of politics at the pres ent time. The agreement itself was negotiated by republican admins tration that has little real love for progressives, and yet in the House only 60 republicans voted for the bill of ratification and application, and 78 opposed it. The negative repub- lican vote representes the standpat wing of the republican party in the House.
 The bill-was passed by a solid dem ocratic vote, less 15 from lumber districts reinforced by a sugar mem- Der and few other members with something special up their sleeves. Look at the affirmative vote as one will, it was democratic, and it identi- fies the democratic party with down. ward revision. "The democratic party" said Chairman Underwood as he wound up the long contest, "does not intend to abandon the custom houses, but favors policy of levying custom duties for revenue purposes only at rates that will not destroy fair and honest competition in the home market. I say that this bill marks an era in the economic life of the nation. Why? Not that the inn mediate results will be far reaching, but because it takes one step in the right direction; step away from the exclusive protective policy, step to- ward an honest competitive policy" This tells the entire story of demo- cratic revision at the present time. It is simply an effort to rid, or at least to mitigate, the reign of monopolists who rarely, if ever, fail to put home prices up to the tariff limit while they sell products abroad at fair and just rates.
 The reciprocity bill will be speedily followed by discussion in the House of the Free List bill, and in this com ing contest Chairman Underwood's floor leadership will again be tested, and all here at his hime may be sure it will not be found wanting in par liamentary skill, economic knowledge or unshaken courage.

ALCOHOL ExoNERATED

waterbury tConn) Cor, New York
 World)
 Prof. D. D. whitney, of Wesleyan Uni vers,tv. where Prof. Atwater proved. by putting students in glass cage, that al cohol is a food, has gone further. He mas demonstrated to his own satisfaction tnat liouor is just as poisonous with the aico- bol taken out of it. Moreover, he has learned that the Frenchman's claret ana inc Yankees cider are the most poisonous of ell.
 prof whitney discovered all this by re- versing the colloquialism and making a fish drink like man. His announcement reads: .
 .eThe harmfulness of intoxicants is not removed with the removal of alcohol from their composition. With their alcoholic contents reduced to the same percentage ordinary cider and claret are the most poisonous beverages. and brandy, gin ana whiskey are the least poisonous Dr. whitney studied the report Of a committee of 50 experts on the liquor problem. The committee said that alco- hol was the only poisonous ingredients of liquor, and if all liquors were reduced to the same percentage of alcohol their injurious effects would be equal.
 AS the victims of his experiments Prof. Whitney used rotifers, small water crea- lures which the dictionary says have mul- titudinous ciliae on the heads. Outside the dictionary they are fishworms. The roti- fers are all dead now. Hard drinking killed them. pr. Whitney placed varying amounts of different liquors into the water in which these animals lived ana noted in what percentage of alcohol they could live two or three days and pro- duce young. Tests were made with wlnes' such as claret and sherry; with malt liouors: with distilled liquors, such as whisky. brandy and gin. and with pure alcohol. In the summary of his report Dr. Whit ney says:
 .orhe results perhaps explain why diff ferent alcohol beverages have such diff ferent effects upon the drunkard. even though an equal intoxication Is produced It Is generally recognized that brandy produces a certain type of drunkenness
 and that cider produces another typt widely different. Many other liquors al. so produce particular type of drunken | ness each. These types are doubtless
 caused at least partly by the 'non-alcoholie 1 ingredients in the llquor."

tended tourists in the gentle art of eat ing the bank at Monte Carlo. The ose who poses as a professor in this ina is a distinguished looking individual cf 50, with soft voice and suave manners whose black mustache makes not un- pleasing contrast with the red ribbon in the lapel of his coat anl who charges 5 bill for each half hours instruction.
 The apparatus Is all there, the wheel. the ships and the little ivory ball. The whei has four handles to it, in true Monte Carlo style, because one of the great secrets of the professors system lies in the tab kept on those handles, which are not to be found on American wheels
 The professor makes no claim to teach anyone how to break the bank in an afternoon and he does not assure that one must win a certain amount each day, but explains to his pupils that roulette is game of percentages and that the amount draVn out of a bank by any percentage system depends upon the number of times the pitcher goes to the well; therefore he calculates upon so much for each roll of the wheel that the punter plays.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Local Option as Democratic Doctrin,

Lotui Opttou IN DemOcrH0c Doctrine
 T have been voter since 1876 and have usually voted the democratic ticket in national elections and always in stata elections" said George II. Harrington of Chicago, and one thing that has i'm pressed me especially with the truth of democratic traditions Is the adherence of the party to Jeffersonian ideas and high ideals. The democratic party goes wrong sometimes, but it always swings back to sound principles. This is so in poiti- cal economy and in all abstract proposi- ticns. When it followed strange gods on currency propositions many of us re. fused to vote with the party organiza- = tion, but the party is back now on right lines and it is more harmonious than ever.
 Tn state politics democrats have some times gone wrong on the prohibition question. Local option is the true dem ocratic doctrine. That applies at once to Illinois, Indiana Ohio Kentucky and Alabama. Thousands of Alabama dern- ocrats lined up with statutory prohibi- tion, but I am glad to see that the party has reasserted itself in favor of the old local option system and has re-estab- lished that system
 .'The temperance cause is growing and is stronger today than. ever but as long as the world lasts drastic sumptuary leg- islation will be undemocratic and will never get a permanent footing in any state.
 T was in Texas recently and was sur prised ito find many good men there ready to vote to try the very thing that had been tried in Alabama and had proved miserable failure. It woul1 seem incomprehensible to find lot of men ordinarily level-headed, swept off their feet by an hysterical wave yet we see that in Texas. From what I could gather, however, Texas will vote against statewide prohibition. In most instances where statewiders have succeeded in get ting bills through the legislature it has been without the consent of the people in a general election.
 Speaking of national politics, I would like to see Governor Marshall of Indiana nominated by the democrats next year Governor Harmon of Ohio is a splendid man, but he could not carry his own state in presidential election. believe Marshall could carry New York, and he certainly could carry Indiana

CATCHING CRAwFIsH
rom the New York Sun


 q was not a little surprised when came east to live,'' a Missourian said a few days ago to a representative of the New York Sun, ito find that no one knew anything about fishing for craw- fish, hut when I found out what it was you had in the line of crawfish I wasn't so much surprised. Fact of the matter is you don't know what crawfish are, with only your little 2-inch critters to point to as big ones. Why, if you should see some of our s. 10 and 12-inch fel- lows out in Missouri they'd scare you to death.
 And then to think that you didn't know that crawfish were good to eat! The crawfish as we have him out in Missouri waters is first cousin to the lob ster, all right. He has the same tastes and disposition, but his home is in fresh water. He is fighter and bristles up at your approach when he Is at bay just as the lobster does. The run of Holsters you get nowadays do not average much larger than some of the crawfish we get out there. have caught them a foot long, Crawfish burrow their holes in the banks of the river margins almost as thick as the punctures in a porous plas- ter, and if 1t wasn't that they are the constant prey of turtles and all kinds of fish it wouldn't be long before there wouldn't be room in the waters for any thing but crawfish.
 T own up that fishing for crawfish is the lazy mans sport, but it's a heap of fun for us out is Missouri. maybe be- cause that kind of man is a staple prod uct of that part of our glorious country. All the tackle you want when you go cut to fish in the crawfish belt, which is pretty much all over Missouri, is a piece of string, a stick two feet long and a hunk of raw meat.
 "The way we cook the crawfish out in that paradise of crawfish Is simple but great. Into a kettle of boiling water we put handful of salt and enough Mexi- can pepper pods to make the water bite. Cayenne pepper will do if you use enough of it. Then we thrown the craw- fish into the kettle of boiling water. Five minutes contact with the caldron is sufficient to fix the craw all right for serving, and with any of the sauces that go with lobster, or just as it comes from the kettle, if you don't say 1t has lobster skinned 8 mile then I'll eat my hat"

MIR. UNDERWOOD.

The Columbia State crams consider able sense in the following:.
 "The Atlanta Journal says that Bir- mingham has the best chance of being chosen as the site of the proposed sub treasury in southeastern city. because Birmingham man is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Doubling the accuracy of this analysis, we remark that it is just as well for At lanta, Columbia and every other city to send to Congress men of a size to be chos- en for that chairmanship." ~
 That is well put as a suggestion and as a compliment to MT. Underwood. We are right proud of him down here and only wish there were more like him for other Democratic states.

NATIVE PRINCES NINDIA

From His Highness the Maharaja, by
 Price Collier, in the May Scribner.
 India is governed by the British, but only part of it is governed directly by them. Of the 1,766,642 square miles of India. s90.OoO square miles are under tho rule of the native princes, as are 66,000,- GOO out of the 300 O00, 900 Inhabitants. There are some coco native chiefs, big and lit- tie, from the Nizam, the ruler of Hyder- abad, with it's population of 100000, it's territory of S2,69S square miles, and its revenues of s12,00O.0O0. down to petty chief, with few square miles of,.terri tory, and few thousands year of reve- nue.
 There is as much variety in their breed ing, and bearing, and ability as in their territories and revenues. Some of them trace their ancestry straight back to the first conquerors from the north; others Afghan invaders; others are the descend ants of court favorites, and their ances- tral right to rank is as illegitimate as some of the proud names in England and France; while others are heirs of rough soldiers who grabbed what they could and held it when the Mughal empire went to pieces. Some are highly educated, others ignorant some are Anglicized, some Pariscized, devoting much time, those to cricket, racing, polo; and these to such European travel as they are permitted, and lazy licentiousness both at home and abroad. There are fine gentlemen among them as chivalrous and as proud as any noble in Europe, and there are others who are mere naughty school boys. There are not few who spend their money on schools and colleges and/ museums, on irrigation works and tramways, on roads and bridges and model prisons, and who pride themselves on the efficiency and smartness of their imperial service troops; and others who throw thousands about on motor cars, jewels, dancing girls, or favorite wives, and hideous Brummagem furniture and pictures. There are burly, leavy-shouldered, big hipped. gross-featured princes, who look like brown caricatures of some of Ru- bens' women; and there are 1.-the, muscu- lar, flne-featured fellows, who look fit for a tustle with a tiger, and show their breeding even to their finger tips.

R,rm,nph.m sbould Decorate

'The National Good Roads convention which meets here May g, "A and 25 will be a notable gathering, and Birmingham should be thoroughly decorated for the occasion" said an old citizen. 'Birming- ham, in my opinion, has never been well decorated but once-in 1908 in honor of the Confederate veterans. It made splendid show then and we should make equally as fine gala appearance next month.
 ..Flags and bunting cost individuals but little, but if everybody spends this little Birmingham will do itself proud. Few features of festive week do so much al, rectly to enhance the festive spirit as bunting. As the music festival Is to be held during National Good Roads conven- tion week, immense throngs of visitors will be here. Let all of us who own or oc- cupy buildings make ample preparation in advance for decorations"

Good Roads Special

"The tour of the government good roads special through Alabama next month should be of great benefit,'' said a good roads enthusiast yesterday
 "The people of Alabama are just now waking up to the great importance of better roads and no more opportune time could have been selected for this cam paign of education.
 ''All interests of the state are studying the problem of building better roads and every item of information on the sub ject is greedily devoured and appre- ciated.
 The special will cover the state very thoroughly and coming as 1t does just be- fore the meeting of the good roads cor- vention in Birmingham it should result in arousing much enthusiasm in this meeting"
