Tyrus Cobb


 Birmingham baseball fanatics will have an opportunity this afternoon of seeing at Redwood park one of the most unique figures in the baseball world" :" remarked a. man who loves the national game. T refer to Tyrus Cobb, whose ex- ploits are known to every small boy in the country. How many budding Ty Cobbs are dreaming dreams of fame this very day on vacant lots, as they get their preliminary baseball experienced Perhaps, some day some of these young sters will really follow in the footsteps of their hero, but the percentage of those who do not will be very large.
 ny Cobb has been wonderfully sue cessful as a baseball player. He has intelligence to help him along, and his proficiency at the game has been so ex- plotted that his name is literally house. hold word Most people know nearly as much about Ty Cobb as they do about President Taft, and some people know more.
 lover in Georgia, where Cobb spent his early days and where he married belle of Augusta, he is lionized. Geor- gians are proud of his record and jealous of his fame. Cobb and Honus Wagner are the great rivals of baseball yet on several occasions when an unpleasant state of affairs was threatened because of this rivalry, both conducted them- selves in such a gentlemanly way that the storm blew over'e

Defeat of Local School Taxation

By one vote less than the necessary three-fifths the senate has refused to let the people of the state say wheth- CT or no they will grant to the people of each county the right to have as good schools as it is willing to be taxed for. The house had passed the amendment resolution by a nine tenths vote, and the senate refused to let the people vote upon the mat ter.
 This refusal to submit a constitu- tional proposition to the people of the state is disheartening to the friends of public education. Sessions of the legislature are four years apart, and the effort to bring this state in line with other states in the matter of local taxation for school purposes has by the action in the sen ate been indefinitly postponed, unless the bill can be reconsidered. Only one other state forbids local taxation for school purposes. It seems almost barbarous to say to county that it shall not be permitted to have as

Democratic Plans in April

As the day for the meeting of Con- gress approaches the democrats are found to be ina hopeful mood, well knit together with a programme al ready adopted that will be resolutely adhered to. Both the speaker -desig- nate and the chairman of the ways and means committee who will be- come the floor leader of the demo- cratic majority are firmly pledged to definite policy, and there will be no dickering with insurgents or any one else in relation to that policy.
 Briefly speaking, the reciprocity agreement is to be repassed, and an apportionment bill put through and also bills for the revision of the cot ton and woolen schedules, and possi- ply of some other duties on articles of food. This programme will be car ried out no matter how much MT. Taft may plead to the contrary, no matter how cunningly special inter- ests may ask for delay. The demo- cratic party stands pledged to en- deavor to reduce the cost of living at the first opportunity, and the men lined up behind Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood will be faithful to this pledge, and the result will be a part of the record that the people will pass upon in the election of 1912.
 The democratic party is absolutely united. It stands for a revenue tar if only, but many of the schedules of the Aldrich- Payne tariff cannot be acted on with all needful facts at hand until the regular session in De- cember.
 The work of the extra session is we'll defined, and the democratic party is ready to meet its great re- sponsibility. It will not seek to evade it's solemn pledges to the peo- pie. MT. Underwood is hard at work today getting ready for the work of the extra session, and when the hour comes for actual legislation he will be found at his post well equipped and cool and imperturbable as is his wont. His is the judicial turn of mind and he will be ready in April to meet the Dalzells and Manns and all other champions of Aldrichism that sue ceeded in stemming the November tidal wave.

THE THREE FISHERS
By Charles Kingsley.

By Charles Kingsley. Three fishers went sailing away to the west, Away to the west as the sun went down; Each thought of the woman who loved him the best, And the children stood watching them out of the town. For men must work and women must weep, And there's little to earn and many to keep. Though the harbor bar be moaning. Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower, And they trimmed the lamps as the sun They looked at the squall. and they looked at the shower, And the night-rack came rolling up ragged and brown, But men must work. and women must weep Though storms be sudden and waters deep, And the harbor bar be moaning. Three corpses lay out on the shining sand, In the morning gleam as the tide went down, And the women are weeping a,.d wring- ing their hands For those who will never come home to sthc town; For men must work. and women must weep, And the sooner it's over the sooner to And goodbye to the bar and its incoming.

Concerning Prohibition

Most of the southern states have ex- perienced prohibition agitation in the re- cent years, but after all is said, the cause of good morals does not seem to have been promoted to any appreciable de- gree" said J. P. Lumsden of Phladel- phia. While I am not connected with the liquor traffic, I have watched the an- ti-saloon movement with a deal of in terest The volume of liquor consumed last year was about as large as it was the year before, and very much larger than it was three years ago. And the cheap grade of whisky is increasing very rapidly in the prohibition states.
 Now, what I started out to say was, that in those states having large cities or large manufacturing interests, sumptuary measures will not have permanent sup port. Statewide prohibition may stay put in Mississippi and Kansas, but it will not hold it's own in states like Alabama, Georgia or Texas"

Increased Use of Fertilizers

The consumption of commercial fertilizers is rapidly increasing in Alabama. In 1909 this state used 191, ,583 tons and in 1910 the consump- tion was carried to 401, 1892 tons Some say this increase does not touch the lint cotton because the seed of the crop is sufficiently valuable to pay fertilizer bills. But this is scarcely comprehensive statement for increasing amounts of commercial cornfields. Intensive farming does not mean lessened use of ferti- lizers. Scientific farming calls for the return to the soil of the proper ties removed from it in matured crops. The south is therefore deeply interested in the fertilizer industry Larger quantities will no doubt be used each year in every southern state.
 The returns thus far received in 1911 in this state indicate an in creased use of fertilizers reaching perhaps to 30 per cent. The sale o1 fertilizer tags in 1910 slightly exceed ed $119, ,O0O, and the indications are that the sales this year will exceed S15O .000.

good schools as it is willing to pay

good schools as it is willing to pay for.
 The vote in the senate was 20 yeas 10 nays. The ten men opposed to local school taxation are Messrs. Espy, Miller, Moody, Norman, Flow man, Renfro, spragins, Sprott, Stokes and Tunstall. Senator Tun- stall led the opposition to the pro- limoted county taxation for school purposes to 4 cents on each $100 of taxable property, and it is indeed strange that enough senators were found to defeat a prudent proposition for the relief of the 100000 school children of the state. They should indeed have been willing to entrust the question to the qualified electors of the state.
 The agitation of this subject should be renewed and when another legis- lature meets public sentiment may be sufficient to compel the submission of a constitutional amendment that will put Alabama in line with other states in the matter of public edu- cation

Troops Wanted on the Frontier

The general order that has been gent out calling for recruits to the number of 5000 or 1000 men will operate to keep up the war fever, and if this be followed up by mysterious movements along the Mexican border the administration will not escape the charge of endeavoring to win back popularity by pandering to the war passions of the multitude.
 The plans of the administration are by no means revealed. Dr. Curi- eristi, one of the directing minds of the revolutionary junta, tells Madero that he should endeavor to win con- plete control of the state of Chihua- hua before May 1, because, according to his information, President Taft will intervene at that time unless the one side or the other in Mexico has secured a decisive victory. Nothing else, says pr. Caricristi, will keep off Intervention.
 pr. Caricristi's Investigations may be far below the surface. He may know a great deal the general public does not know. He may know whom Henry Taft's clients in Mexico are. But there will be no intervention while Congress is in session unless its support of it is first secured The interests are powerful, but they dare not disregard Congress, which holds the purse of the country.
 The country is to be treated to many rumors of war, and to many mysterious movements, and possibly intervention may take place. Speak ing for the Mexicans pr. Caricristi says, neither side wants interven- tion, and I believe firmly that feder- ais and revolutionists would make common cause against an invader" This would be one way to pacify Mex

The Three Large. Cities

The legislature should not adjourn without relieving the three largest cities of the state, Birmingham, Mo- bile and Montgomery, of the demoral- ization and disgrace of illegal liquor selling. All three cities are afflicted with blind tigers" that fill people with vile liquors but do not fill a public treasury to the extent of a single dollar. These "blind tigers" lead people to lose respect for all laws, and surely the legislature should apply a remedy before it ad- journs.
 Let it give all cities in the state that have 35,000 people the right to establish dispensary systems. These dispensaries should be wholesalers of good liquors. They should not sell in quantities less than one quart. Then establish cafes, say, one for every 5000 people, the license for which shall be S2000. Require these cafes to serve all liquors at tables and shut out from the source of supply all per sons other than those employed in the cafe. Compel the cafes to purchase all liauors from the city's dispensary system.
 That's all. The legislature need not go step further. This plan would drive out the blind tigers. The cafes and the cities would attend to that branch of the business, simply because it would be business on their part to do so.
 Nor would that be all the gain, for the three cities would gain revenue as we'll as respect for the law. In this city it is estimated revenue of $500, ,OOO would accrue from com- bination of dispensaries and licensed cafes. Let 50 per cent of this sum be retained by the city to be expended almost wholly on it's streets. Let 30 per cent go to the county to be ex- pended on the public roads, leaving 10 per cent to go to the state.
 The present condition of liquor sales in the three cities calls aloud for a remedy, and surely the legisla- ture should heed the call. The law of the state is notoriously disregard ed. It is trampled in the mire of blind tigers" All revenue from the sale of liquors accrues to violators of the law only. It is enriching them. The legislature surely should not let this state of things go on when a short bill on the lines set forth in this article would put an end to illegal sales of liquors while it would give city, county and state revenues that are greatly needed.

LOFTS SIMPLICITY
e Princess Lwoff in Le Figaro.

inc PflncesS bWoH Tn Le F1garo.
 I first saw Pierre Loti at Hendaye in his little house at the edge of the Bidas soa, where he was living with his wife and his son. What delightful moments spent in that vine covered, white cot tage with green blinds and terraces sus- pended above the water and somber little garden that grows mysterious at night!
 One eevning Lott enabled me to hear the melancholy Basque songs and the wild slogans of the smugglers. I seem still to see those smugglers, with caps tilted ever their ears, faces swarthy and kind, eyes gleaming.
 When you know him, Lott is simple, cordial, and charming, full of spirit and enthusiasm at times, laughing at every thing, like child, just as if he had not seen the whole world and all it contains. but often deeply sad. The thing that has always fascinated me in Loti is the ab
 sence of those many slight differences in point of view that generally raise bar riers between people of different coun- tries. His wonderful intuitive faculty makes him as much at home in the snowy north as in the languorous south: in the nervous stress of cities as in the calm life of the country. But he is especially appealed to by the naive, the humble, the primitive. He depicts them with a sim
 plicity of expression that gives force and charm to his genius.
 A simple fact, a character that presents no interest at first glance, a colorless and l mo Ia 10 try into them all And what power of suggestionl There Is something so live
 and so fresh in his story telling that feel that he is writing about members of his own family or sketching scenes from his own childhood.
 As write I hear the cry of the swal-
 lows, I see them fit through the twl- light air, while I seem once more to be sitting with Loti and his wife and their son. I hear distant trumpet calls and the
 music of church bells. Under the spell of that dreamy hour we were silent, all
 of us. Then a big, white cat appeared on the top of the wall and broke the spell We began talking of cats.
 At luncheon next day second cat pre- scented itself; after which two tortoises
 came. It seems that they were not very well behaved, and that Loti punished them by putting them in separate boxes, leaving them to repent of their sins. Later that day we went driving. Loti pointed out the place he loved best when child, the house and garden where he and little Lucette had lived and where he had learned to worship nature. Then we stroled through the woods,
 where Lott had played in his boyhood and knew and loved every tree and shrub and path. There are lovely mosses and vines in those woods, and dainty wild | flowers. l gathered cluster of them. | have them still.

FORCE DANTON'S ONLY VIRTUE

From Lamartines History of the Giron- i dsts.
 N ANTON, whom the revolution had
 found an obscure barrister at the 0 Chatelet, had increased with it in influence. He had already that celeb rity which the multitude easily assigns to him whom it sees everywhere, and all ways listens to. He was one of those men who seem born of the stir of revolu- tions, and which float on it's surface until it swallowed them up. All in him was like the mass-athletic, rude, coarse He pleased them because he resembled them. His eloquence was like the loud clamor of the mob. His brief and de- cisive phrases had the martial curtness of command His irresistible gestures gave impulse to his plebeian auditories.
 Ambition was his sole line of politics Devout of honor, principles, or morality he only loved democracy because it was exciting. It was his element, and he plunged into it. He sought there not so much command as that voluptuous sensu- ality which man finds in the rapid move ment which bears him away with 1t. He was intoxicated with the revolutionary vertigo as a man becomes drunken with wine; yet he bore his intoxication we'll He had that superiority of calmness in the confusion he created, which enabled him to control it; preserving sang froid in his excitement and his temper, even in moment of passion, he tested with the clubs in their stormiest moods. burst of laughter interrupted bitterest imprecations; and he amused the people even whilst he impelled them to the ut termost pitch of fury.
 Satisfied with his two-fold ascendency he did not care to respect it hlmself, ana neither spoke to it of principles nor Of virtue, but solely of force. Himself, he adored force, and force only. His sole genius was contempt for honesty, and he esteemed himself above all the world, be- cause he had trampled underfoot all scru- ples. Everything was to him a means. He was a. statesman of materialism, play ing the popular game, with no end but the terrible game itself, with no stake but

IN CASE OF SUICIDE
From the Chicago Post.


 Plans to stretch wire screens across tho rotundas in downtown office buildings lor the protection of the public against per- sons who commit suicide by leaping over the railings of upper floors have been made for four structures.
 Drawings of a plan for the Union bank building have been submitted to Build ing Commissioner Campbell. Plans for nets for the chamber of commerce, the United States Express and the Portland buildings are now being prepared,
 The screen for the Union bank build ing will be made of wire mesh and sup ported by 1-inch steel cables, four feet apart The screen will be stretched across the rotunda on the second floor level and is strong enough to resist a weight of 400 pounds falling from the top floor of the building, which is seven stories ,n height.
