Dr, kirkland and the UnIversIty

''Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt uni- versity would, in my opinion, have made a most excellent president of the Uni- versity of Alabama, and I regretted very much to see him decline the offer," said a university alumnus.
 NO educator in the south. perhaps, ranks higher than Chancellor Kirkland He is a scholar. man Of line ideals, engaging in his personality, and he is a man of first-class administrative ability His influence at Vanderbilt has been marked, and tine high rating of that insti- tuition Is due largely to Kirkland.
 ''I have no idea who will be made pres ident of the University of Alabama, but I am satisfied that the trustees will keep on trying until they get a man who will fill the bill"

 This puts premium on trust as against the policy which l fear is all too general of taking care of the kicker and thereby putting premium on distrust. newspaper is built of trust.

The Liquor Question


 q understand that men who take an active interest in public affairs are quite well agreed that Jefferson couu- ty will vote wet on August 24 and good prophets say that the saloon will win over the dispensary," said a member Of the Business Mems league.
 Some porhibitionists will vote dry and will stop at that, but the major ity of them will probably vote for dispensary as the lesser of the two evils-from their point of view I am with the majority in believing that moral conditions in Birming gham will be very much improved when the open sa- loon Is licensed and regulated. That it will be regulated, I haven't the least doubt Not only will Governor O'Neal appoint gentlemen of brains and integ- rity as excise commissioners, but pub lie sentiment will be strongly felt in the maintenance of law and order. The people of Birmingham are not going to allow any dives to be operated here. My friends who own property and have large business interests are so strongly in favor of saloons as the sensible solution of the liquor problem that they would be glad to see the Chamber of Commerce take up the question and pass resolutions in support of high license and regulation. But such ac- ton, of course, would never do The prohib itionists have made their hobby political and politics has no place in a business organization like the Cham ber of Commerce. But while this Is so, 1t Is safe to say that a large majority of the members of that influential body will vote for saloons. In 1907 if the Anti Saloon league which made the campaign against liquor had been somewhat moderate and been willing to have made an exception in favor of the sale of beer Birmingham would not have been so badly hurt. One of the leading capitalists of the Birmingham district, a man who has been active in the Chamber of Commerce and who has been a leader in all public spirited movements, said to me recently that In his opinion the dry vote four years ago had done Birmingham incalculable in- jury. Other capitalists anu public spir- tied citizens may take different view, but there is no gainsaying this state ment-the bulk of business men are strongly opposed to prohibition as we have had it."

company. celebrated his 18th anniversary with that firm today" said a friend of MT. Coffin last night. "A luncheon was spread at the noon hour in one of the large display rooms of the company in it's main office building, and over 100 employees were present 10 celebrate the occasion.
 "A handsome solid silver loving cup was presented to MT. Coffin by the em- ployes and members of the firm. Harry Jones presented the token with a few appropriate words, and incidentally paid MT. Coffin a high tribute by saying he had never known him to do any unknd act either in business or in his personal dealings with any one connected with the business.
 "Mr. J. D. Moore also expressed the sentiments of the employees and >mem- bers of the firm regarding MT. Coffn's long and faithful service, and MT. Cof- fin, in accepting the loving cup, ten dered -an invitation to every one present to participate in the gold anniversary of his service. 25 years hence.
 'I was struck with this fact at the luncheon. There were probably a score of men present who have been connected with the firm from 10 to 25 years. Many of them have watched the firm from the time 1t was small retail concern until it reached its present size. one of the largest wholesale hardware house in this country.
 T had no idea that the company had so many employees. Although 100 were present at the luncheon, number were not present I was struck with the sentiment that seems to prevail among the employees. It looked like big fami- ly gathering, and one of the oldest men in point of srvice told me that such had been the relationships between the firm and its employees from the very start.
 Harry Coffin went to work for the company on August g, 1886, as an assist ant bookkeeper. In less than two years he was made head bookkeeper and credit man, and several years ago he was elect ed secretary of the company. He has all ways had charge of the credit depart ment, which is a most important posi- tion in a firm of the size of this one.'

THE EASY MARK

The softest proposition of which ancient or modern history makes any record is the man who kisses prosperous business goodbye and hooks up with $500 office in the county building, says sn exchange After a man has held a county office for two years he will be in just the fra me of mind to bite of stock in proposition to dam the Mississippi river with few well chosen words. If he refuses to head every subscription paper that floats into the village, an outraged con stituency will meet him at the polls bright and early and make him look like the by-product of corn shredder. By the time salary of |.125 bones a month has been filtered through, few tag days, thirty or forty church supports, dozen fire  mems dances and neat sprinkling of charity balls there won't be enough left of. it to flag a bottle of condensed milk. Whenever they want to start anything in town. from circulating library to D. cent barber shop. an open-faced committee will head for the county building with a fountain pen and a jolly that is calculated to be good for five buck per jol. We have yet to hear the first instance of coun ty official turning down sheet of foolscap headed We. the under signed" and escaping with his life and his nomination papers.

The official returns give the dem ocratic candidates the following total vote: Hayden 4237, Winsor 26S5, Cobb 26S2. The Phoenix Democrat says in an analysis of the figures:
 A study of the figures produces some interesting results. Hayden carried ten counties. Cobb three, and Winsor one. Hayden's ma iority over Winsor was 1852 Win sor's majority over Cobb was 23. Each candidate carried his home county by a handsome majority, which would indicate that each man was we'll thought of by those who knew him best. Winsor's ma .joritv in Yuma county was $40; Cobb's majority in Greenlee county was 379; Hayden's majority in Maricopa county was 1152. Hay den's majority outside of Maricopa county is 400, SO that he is the choice not only of his home county but also the choice of most of the democratsaof Arizona.
 The total vote cast for the three democratic candidates was 65S4.
