Gallagher of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad had promised to give the
Alpha company fair rate" When the
1910 freight tariff schedule was issued.
however. it was found, he testified. that

CUTTING THEATRE PRICES

railroad coaches in this country nearly everyone who could secure sufficient money by hook or crook would travel first class for the satisfaction of vanity. Among them would be the Americans who willingly travel third class in Eng land because ''it is done" in that coun- try. If there were plenty of dollar seats in the now fashionable parquet in Amer ican theatres and 8 seats in boxes in the "mezzanine" gallery would the American young man of fashion, though an ill-paid clerk or poor professional man, dare to invite the American young woman of social position, the daughter of an impe- cunious professional man or the daugh- ter of a millionaire, to sit in dollar seat? And the socially active constitute a con- siderable proportion of theatre patrons in the lower floor, especially in provincial American theatres. The inauguration of dollar seats would probably not relieve the class of ticket buyers now loudest in, demanding 1t.
 There are students of the problem who believe that cut would be profitable, but there are several points of view. It would be a great pleasure to be able to see the best plays and actors from the best seats for s1. Nobody will deny it. But it is a great pleasure to feel that as matters stand Americans are not worse off in this particular than their cousins across the ocean,

Mir. Roosevelt's Manly Course

No unfavorable criticisms of ex- President Roosevelt's frank explana- ton before the Stanley committee of his conduct in relation to the absorp- tion of the Tennessee company by the Steel corporation have appeared. Many highly commendatory opinions have been given to the public and the weight of opinion clearly sustains the ex-president in the action he took in 1907, and all admire his courage in sustaining before the investigation committee in every respect his action at that time.
 He approved of the entire trans action in 1907 because the country was in the throes of crisis. A panic was springing up, and Presi- dent Roosevelt desired to stop it. By approving the proposed merger he be- lieved he could stay the panic and the merger confessedly did do no little to allay it.
 A courageous man was needed in the crisis of 1907 ,and no man has more courage than MT. Roosevelt. When he appeared before the Stanley committee he brought along his equipment as strong and courage ous man. He had no excuses or apologies to offer. He stopped the panic of 1907 and he believes today he did right and he is glad today that he acted as he did in 1907. The steel merger lost no ground when Mir. Roosevelt was on the stand. MT. Gary and MT. Morgan had his ap- proval in 1907, and time has con- vinced Mir. Roosevelt that he acted for the good of the country in a great crisis.

SWINBURNE'S OWN CHOICE

Publishers Notes.
 The volume of selections from the poetical works of Swinburne, recently is sued in a new edition edited by Watts Dunton, is of interest to the critic be- cause the poems are said to have been selected in most cases by Swinburne himself as representative of his work. |. is worth noting in this connection that the volume contains almost none of the poems which created the greatest sensa- ton when they were first published. such as "The Leper'' and the "Laus Veneris. It would seem that Swinburne preferred to be regarded as a poet of the sea or as 9 philosopher, rather than as pre- errinently the poet of passion. On this point Theodore Watts-Dunton says: The fact is that he would have gained im- mensely as a popular poet If he had been able to warm the lines written in his riper years by as much sensuousness as Rosseti could pack into single son. net, as Tennyson could pack into Merlin and Vivien' and as Browning could pack into certain poems of his." The new vol ume, containing the poems Swinourne chose. is called "Selections from the Poetical Works of Swinburne," while the title of the earlier volume is "selected Lyrical Poems of Swinburne.

Acceptable In New York

The Brooklyn Eagle represents better than any other one paper the best democratic sentiment of the state of New York. It has been pub- lished fully 50 years, and in all that time it has held a high place in the best democratic circles. It contains no appeals to the slums, and it's opinions go long way in the mould ing of public sentiment in New York state.
 The Eagle does not hesitate to say that Alabama is justified in naming MT. Underwood for president Here are it's own words: There is" it says, "a persistent rumor from Ala bama that Oscar W. Underwood will have the delegation from that state to the next democratic national con- vention. It is long, long time since Alabama has had a favorite son, and there is no doubt that the record Underwood has made in congress as a conservative, defying MT. Bryan on him a prominence in the mind of the nation justifying his state in naming him as it's choice for president. He is native of Louisville, Kentucky, and graduate of the University of Virginia. He is serving his ninth term in the House of Representatives from the Ninth Alabama district, and though not born in the state is thor oughly identified with its interests.
 There is no man in the cotton belt states whom the north would be more ready to accept than the Alabama representative. To him almost as much as to Champ Clark of Missouri is to be attributed the real states manship which avoided playing poli- ties on the reciprocity issue"
 Two things are made plain in this article. The northern democracy have no objection to a southern man if he be otherwise unobjectionable, and the Eagle tells the Alabama democrats that Mr. Underwood's high standing justifies them in bringing him forward as a candidate for pres ident. -.s...-.

complex The forces under the veto
 bill would still have very considerable
 power in delaying and obtructing lib- eral measures-more than they would
 have if swamped by the appointment of 800 liberal peers. They will sim ply prefer the more advantageous condition.
 And besides no peer or peeress wants a cheapening of his or her caste, socially speaking. Both politi- cally and socially the lords cannot af- ford to face a creation of 800 peers more or less. This is why Lord Lansdown's policy of surrender will win ''hands down." and the veto bill will soon become law. The lords can then hold up for two years other than money bills, including the home rule bill and the bill to disestablish the church in Wales, and they will have to be content with this remnant of their ancient power. In any other they would have been knocked out long ago because of bull headedness and general devotion to their caste.

Pure Foods and Drugs in Alabama

Commissioner of Agriculture Kolb is preparing to drive impure foods and drugs out of this state. The states pure food law is ample for that purpose. Up to this time this state has been dumping ground of rotten odds and ends preserved in benzoic acid and all sorts of drugs have been put before the people. Every consumer should shun canned goods that contain benzoate of soda Commissioner Kolb proposes to col lect samples of foodstuffs and drugs sold in this state for analysis by State Chemist B. B. Ross at Auburn, and his reports will be sound and trustworthy.
 Too much care cannot be taken to guard against instructions and advice from Secretary of Agriculture Will son who is striving to uphold the can neries and other food factories of the middle west. He organized the Rem sen board for that purpose and he re- gently undertook to remove Dr. Wi ley. The latter effort will probably be frustrated. Wilson is, however, striving to retain benzoate of soda as a preservative when he knows that no manufacturer can be trusted to use small quantities of it if he is allowed to use any at all. The better manu- lecturers do not use the stuff in their packages. The consumer should read
 the labels on every package he buys.

Rebuilding the l.. & N. Railroad

The rebuilding and double-tracking of the Louisville and Nashville rail- road between Nashville and Boyles near this city is a development of more than everyday importance. The road runs along the center line of this state and the development of it will lead to greater developments here. Grades are to be lessened and curves either done away with or greatly improved. The crossing of Sand mountain will in short be re- built so that it will no longer offer obstacles to the hauling of heavy trains. From Athens to Nashville a new line is to be built.
 These plans are a preparation, it is true, against the opening of the Panama canal, and Alabama's bene- fits and advantages will come in as incidents of the change Alabama is wholly willing, however, to be incl dentally benefited. The Louisville and Nashville is this states chief railroad system and when it is brought up to the highest possible eff ficiency benefits will certainly accrue to the people along it's line, and really to the entire state.
 When a double track is laid all the way to Mobile on the Louisville and Nashville this state will have perhaps the first double-track long line in the cotton belt.

From the New York World.
 The proprietor of one of the smartest shoe shops in New York says the feet of the American women are growing larger.
 The shoe manufacturers of America, who have just held their fifth annual con- vention in Boston, agreed with the New York dealer
 A Fifth avenue dressmaker declares women are becoming larger in the waist and are attaining more beautiful throats and forearms.
 A fashionable corset maker announces women are becoming larger in the waist and smaller in the hips.
 A glove manufacturer tells us the hand of the American woman is becoming broader and larger.
 A modish miliner is firm in the belief that the head of American women is growing smaller. That is, the actual skull is decreasing in size.
 How do you account for the increasing size of the American woman's foot?" l asked the proprietor of the smart shoe shop.
 Its the entrance of women into the business world that has caused the in creased size of their feet" he replied
 "A woman cannot walk toward eco- homie independence in uncomfortable shoes; that is a literal fact The girls behind counters and stenographers and women earning their daily bread have found they simply had to keep their feet comfortable or they could not stand on them all day. The consequence has been larger, widen shoe, until the foot of the worllingwoman has attained something like the firm, broad proportions it should have to carry the weight properly.
 Then the woman of wealth who does not have to stand on her feet if she does not want to, has in the past five years gone ip tremendously for athletics There are tennis and golf and walking, all ex- ercises demanding comfortable low -heeled shoes"
 And of the. fashionable firth avenue | dressmaker I asked:
 | How has the American womsn's fig ure changed in your opinion in the past | five years?'
 "Her shoulders are brd4der and her throat and arms are loveier," replied the | dressmaker without hesitation. "Hei shoulders ase becoming broader because she takess more exercise and breathes property, and her throat is becoming more | rounded, thanks to the low collars ir vogue for the past two years. Wher these first came in most of the womer l looked ugly in them. Now they have been worn for some time and the throats of the, wearers have had chance to re- gain their normal smoothness and white. ness. l can only account for the in oreasing beauty of the modern woman: fore arm through her developed interest in athletics. such as tennis and driving and swimming
 Tine waist of the modern American woman is undeniably growing larger ant her hips smaller declared the corse maker. "This is because she is learning to hold herself properly. Exercise ana correct diet are doing it for her The modern woman's uncorseted figure is slowly but surely reverting' to the old Grecian standard of foveliness.''

STABBED THE WRONG LEG
m the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 we can turn out wooden legs. now adays with rubber feet" said a manu- facturer of artificial limbs, "that are so nearly perfect that you cannot tell them from a live leg, l mean, of course, al- lowing that the false member is proper ly trousered. This was proved by a little thing that happened to close friend of mine recently.
 "tIe walked one day into one of the well-known bars and assumed the attj- tude of one about to have his thirst ouenched. mutual friend who confesses to being a wag observed to an acouain- tance, Do you see that man over there ? Well, I'll bet you I can go over and stick knife in his leg and he won't be con- scious of it. You don't believe it?'

AN EASY GAIT.

To jog along-that was his way, To jog along from day to day; As idle as a babbling brook,
 Still held the world was fair to see And every man might happy be, If he'd but seek some tranquil scene And jog along with soul serene. In vain did trouble follow fast And sorrow darklng shadows cast; He'd fali asleep when other wights Would moan and sigh for countless
 nights.
 He'd yawn in face of blank despair, Or look of calm indifference wear. Howeer disasters thick might throng, He still contriyed to jog along. And when his race was nearly run, Through shadow. days and days of sun, His nerves were sill in candy trim, No grief had ever wasted him, Because he'd won nc wide rehown. No fretful thoughts had borne him down, Such men as he. thcuCl' fa- from great, Are soothing sights to contemplate, Since mortal wights are prone to fret And vex themselves with vain regret, While. posting on with such great speed, Times warning signs they do not heed. Arrived ere l1ng at oeath's profound, On futile unests of profit bound, Concerned with self, absorbed in strife, They miss the fairer part of life.
