State Highway Commission

The new highway commission, con- sisting of Senator Spragins, Senator Atkins, John Craft of Mobile, Profes- sor Mitcham of Auburn and Dr. Eu- gene A. Smith of the University, has met and organized, and Senator Spragins is it's chairman. Every member of the commission has long been a good roads worker and pro- moter.
 The commission will not be able to revolutionize at once the road system of Alabama. It has but $134,000 a year with which to make good the roads of the state. This is $2000 to each county, and each county is to add as much more. Possibly this sum will build two miles of modern hard roads under the direction of the state high way engineer.
 The work is to be done under the close personal supervision of the state highway engineer. This is the best feature of the billl. Roads constructed

Prohibition in Various states

Those of us who have occasion tc spend much time in statutory prohibition states hear it said that prohibition is a farce in the larger class of towns" said Jacob H. Dalton of Chicago, but what particularly strikes me is the boldness with which the prohibition law is violated in certain states.
 Alabama cities have doubtless been overrun with blind tigers, but even in Birmingham and Mobile there has been some apparent respect for the law, and it has been evident that large propor- ton of those who call themselves prohibi- tionists are sincere. But in Georgia and Tennessee there seems to be very little sincerity about this liquor question. IL is mainly political. Atlanta is the great est beer town in the whole south, and in Savannah saloons are wide open and above board just as If no prohibition law had ever been enacted. It is pretty much the same way in the Tennessee cities. The buffets are elegant and attractive, and have no appearance whatever of blind tigers. Self-seeking politicians are very prominent in the prohibition movement everywhere, and that being so. the hold that this issue gained cannot in the na- ture of things, last. It did not last in Alabama ,and 1t will not last in Tennes- see or Georgia

A CRAZE OF THE HOUR

From the New York Sun.
 London-The fashionable craze Of the hour is nursing. A good deal is being made of the fact that Nurse Grimston,'
 who has entered a training homo at Bow in the East End, happens to be the Earl of yerulan1's daughter. The peerage has
 supplied good many recruits to the
 profession of nursing In the last few
 years.
 J.adv Fishers first aid classes, held al
 her house in Tilney street, have given
 an ,mpetus to the movement, while the
 nractical interest in nursing institutions which Queen Alexandra has repeatedly shown is also largely responsible for the hold which the vocation has taken on tbe minds of women who are prominent socially.
 One of the best known society nurses is Lady Annesley, who became deeply in terested in hospital work and spent much of her time in the wards of the city of Dublin hospitals. But for her maria gs she would have adopted nursing as q profession, and in the end she founded village hospital in the grounds of hci home in County Down.
 | Lady Hermonie Blackwood, a mar quis's daughter and sister of Lord Duf. ferin, is president of the Irish Nursing association, and among earl's daughter.
 who have been to the fore in the nurs ing movement are Lady Katherine Stan

In Madison Square Garden

Beginning November an exposi- tion is to be held in Madison Square Garden, New York, of products of the field and gardens. Behind this expo- sition stand the railroads of the coun- try, and their effort to show for the first time what the country is capable of will, beyond doubt, be notable event.
 If Alabama is to be properly repre- sented at this exposition no little work of an organizing nature will be needed. The exposition is to be held at the country's great financial cen- ter, and a fine and comprehensive exhibit from Alabama would power fully promote immigration in this state. Other states will have exhib- its-perhaps every other state, and Alabama can i'll afford to be lacking in the coming exposition.
 The prizes offered are substantial, but the chief prize held out is a tide of farmers turned this way. The state and it's business interests should begin to bestir themselves with a view of procuring space and filling that space with Alabama-grown prod ucts. With these products should go soil maps and statistics of rainfall and temperature, and then our case would stand complete.
 fSe 3roposed exhibit need not cost Egreat sum of money, but it calls for details and organization, and it is not too early to begin the work. Every man who desires to see Alabama fully covered with farmers-who desires to bring out the great possibilities of this state-should aid the movement that has for it's object an object les son for homeseekers in Madison Square Garden next November.

krom Heirmich Heine's "Wit, Wisdom and Pathos"
 The history of Immanuel Rants life is difficult to portray, for he had neither life nor history He led a mechanical regular. almost abstract bachelor exist ence in a little retired street of Koenigs- berg. an old town on the northeastern frontier Of Germany. I do not believe tfat the great clock of the cathedral per formed in more passionless and method ical manner it's daily routine than did its townsman, Immanuel Kant. Rising in the morning, coffee drinking, writing reading his lectures. dining, walking everything had its appointed time, and the neighbors knew that it was exactly 2:50 clock when Immanuel Kant stepped forth from his house in his gray, tight fitting coat, with his Spanish cane in his hand, and betook himself to the little linden avenue called after him to this day the Philosophers Walk"
 Summer and winter he walked up and down il exactly eight times. and when the weather was dull or heavy clouds prognosticated rain, the townspeople be-
 
 anxiously behind him with a big umbrella under his arm. like an image of Provi- 6ence. What strange contrast did this mans outward life present to his de- structive, ord-annihilating thoughts In sooth had the citizens of Koenigsberg had the least presentiment of the full significance of his ideas they would have felt more dread at the presence of this man than at the sight of an executioner, who gan but kill the body But the worthy folk saw in him nothing more than professor of philosophy. and as he passed at his cusotmary hour they greeted him in friendly manner and set their watches by him.
 But although Immanuel Kant, the arch destroyer in the realm of thought far surpassed in terrorism Maximilian Robespierre, he had many simiarities with the latter, which induce a compari- place, we find in both the same inexora- ble, keen, poesyless, sober integrity We likewise find in both the same talent of suspicion. only that in the one 1t mani- fested itself in the direction of thought, and was called criticism, whilst in the other it was directed against mankind, and was styled republican virtue. But bcth presented in the highest degree the true type of narrow minded citizen.

PENSIONS FOR BANK CLERKS

From The Survey.
 The First National bank of New ork has adopted a carefully worked out vol untary contributory insurance scheme for aged or invalded employees. The pension fund is to be made up of contributions from the bank and from individuals, to- Sether with a 3 per cent deduction from the salaries of those desiring to become benefciaries. Eligibility on account Of in- capacity begins after 15 years service; on account of old age, after 5 years of age and 15 years of service.
 The amount of the pension is per cent of the average salary for the preceding five years, the maximum amount beinr 70 per cent of the average salary during employment or $5000 If the beneficiary has not completed 9 years of employment before retirement, the pension is to con- tinue for as many years as his term of service; If he has completed this numped of years it Is to continue for life.
 An employees widow or orphan children are to receive one-half the pension. under the same regulations. In case a contnpu- tor leaves the bank before he is eligible to the pension he Is to receive back the full amount of his contribution without ir- terest. Special cases can be provided for at the discretion of the bank. Franc,s l.. Hine is president of the First National: c. D. Backus, who is largely responsible for the pension plan, is cashier.

by county officials are valueless, but roads constructed by the state under one plan and under the supervision of a competent engineer will prove enduring and economical.
 The new law is beginning of a great reform and it will no doubt lead to the construction of roads in Ala bama as good as those now being built in the most progressive states. A good start on the right lines has been made, and public sentiment can safely be trusted to see to the rest of the great task.

Passage of the Viaduct Bill

The viaduct bill, which had pre- viously passed the senate, was put through the house by a vote of 65 yeas to 12 nays. All amendments were voted down and the senate bill was passed without change. It be- comes law as soon as it is signed by the governor.
 The bill is the outcome of a con- dition that cuts the city in two. The eastern portion of the city comes and goes over trolley tracks in First ave- nue that cross not one grade crossing at the Sloss furnaces but several, and all dangerous. No worse grade cross ings could readily be devised than those in First avenue, and as soon as the viaduct bill becomes law the rail- roads and the city will proceed to abolish them, thus reuniting and con- solidating the city, and removing all fear of death or accident from the minds of thousands daily.
 The subject is one that relates to the welfare of those thousands of good people daily, and the legislature has certainly won the respect and good will of 10000 people who live east of the deadly grade crossings in First Avenue.

CHINATOWN IN A NEW LIGHT

From the New York World.
 The fair In the Chinese quarter to raise funds for the relief of the famine sufrer- CTS in the home country has served to bring Chinatown into closer touch with the rest of the city than anything its colony has ever done.
 Chinese women in charity work at booths and bazars after the manner of American women show a phase of Chi nese character which 1t is agreeable to contrast with the ouarrels of tongs and the features of Chinatown life sought out by summing parties. The famine in China, with tens of thousands dead of starvation and the entire population of two congested provinces facing like fate and sabssting on roots and grasses, mas excited the sympathy of the civilized world But of all the measures of organ ized relief none has the sentimental in- terest attaching to those adopted by the Chinese in this county.
 The Chinatown fair and the collection of $70o by Chinese girl student at Well lesley to send to her starving country men reveal a common humanity among the Chinese on which agtators are moi prone to dwell.

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
Bucks Model Farm


 During a two days soiourn in Chat tanooga I had the good fortune of meet ing Mr. C. E. Buck, formerly a prominent citizen Of Birmingham said we'll known Birmingham man. chattanooga Is prosperous city, and is noted for it's small industries. It has a larger number of manufactures than any city of it's size in the south; and among the high ly successful industries are two in which MT, Buck is largely interested and to which he gives his personal attention. One of these industries is the Frictionisss Metal company's plant. the product of which has an established reputation in Europe as well as in America.
 The other industry is that of the Hill Dairy company-the model dairy of Ten nessee and recognized as one of the model sanitary dairies of the United States. MT. Buck owns, 1 believe, half of the Fretionless Metal business, and he owns, l understand. all of the dairy plant.
 The Fractionless Metal company had its plant in Richmond. Va, some years ago, but was removed from there direct to Chattanooga. This concern has long been a big money-maker But as much interest as 1 found in the industries in Chattanooga. what appealed to me most was MT. Bucks Kensington farm in Wal ker county, Georgia 27 miles south or Chattanooga. Mr. Buck owns 140O acres in that tract and practically all of it is under cultivation. He cutivates all The crops-cotton, corn wheat, oats, alfaifa' etc. He is scientific farmer, and finds great profit In intensive methods He raises bale of cotton to the acre, five tons of alfalfa to the acre. and other crops are prolific in proportion. Tn ad- dition to Bucks agricultural crops ne gives a good deal of attention to live stock, and especially to dairy cows. He inilks nearly 100 COWS, and will soon add 5n per cent to this number.
 MT. Buck made a success of pig iron making. Few men in this part of the country had a better idea of the econo- mics of furnace practice, or knew bet ter how to make the iron business pay. than MT. Buck. Well, 1t is the same way with his farm. He Is making big money from his agricultural venture. And the best of it is that he is doing great up lift work. 1 understand that the United States government is about to select Bucks Kensington farm as the demon stration farm of the south. He has done wonders toward showing other tillers of the soil how to reach the highest degree of efficiency in farm work It is the same way with his dairy in Chattanooga. By applying meteorological science he is pro- noting the physical well-being of the community and making money at the same time. was enjoying the best of health. I had never seen him look so well and happy as now
