The Presidency and 1912

"I believe the democrats will win In 1912" said John P. McArthur of Chicago who spent few hours in Birmingham yesterday on his return from the gulf "I have always voted the democratic ticket and the wish, therefore, may be father to the thought that next year will be one of victory.
 within the past three months I have had occasion to be in the east and also in the far west. l found eastern demo- crats more partisan to Governor Harmon than those of the west. Woodrow Will son is quite strong in the northwest, and I understand that he is strong, too, in California. He may grow in favor in the east, but most of the democrats I met were for Governor Harmon first.
 '"rhe idea that Harmon is a very con- servative man makes him popular with the large business interests of the coun- try. I myself prefer man like Woodrow Wilson-scholarly aggressive, and at the same time reasonable. Wilson will cer- tainly go into the convention with a great deal of strength. But anyone who thinks that President Taft has no show for 1912 has not reckoned we'll Taft will be hard man to beat; still, with Wood row Wilson as the standard bearer our chances will be better than at any time since 1892"

Sweet Peas in Abundance

''The sweet pea has long been an es- teemed flower. but in recent years it has been cultivated extensively and brought up to a state of beauty not dreamed of when I was a youth," said William M Lindsay, formerly a professional florist and still interested in Horticulture
 "The late MT. Eckford, the well known English botanist and florist, took a par ticular fancy to the sweet pea, and it was he who began to improve it. He devel- oped 1t into larger, richer flower: made many notifications in it, and brought out a great variety of color.
 ''The sweet pea of today is a most val uable commercial product. Being prolific and easily cultivated it is inexpensive, and is used in profusion in decorating the home. The show windows of florists are made bright and beautiful with sweet peas of all colors-white, pink blood red, deep blue, yellow, and mauve.
 The sweet pea is not only grown ex- tensively for the floral trade, but it is more than ever raised in private gardens. Few flowers that charm the eye require less attention than the sweet pea In every little garden it should be found Tn great profusion."

From the New York Press.
 How should you like to pay an income tax on next to nothing? If you were A Norwegian living at home and earning SlS4 year you would be taxed on one tenth of it if you were unmarried; on about one-twentieth of it if you were married and had no children. If you had children you still would be taxed on one httleth of it. Rate high-172 per cent. With an income of s536 year you would be taxed, if unmarried, on more than half of your income: If married and having no children, on about 40 per cent of your income; having one child, on about 37 per cent; two children, on about 31 per cent.
 Unmarried and having an income of s26s0 year in Norway, your income tax payment would be $421.22; married, with one child, S3S994; married, with six chill dren, $355.17 All that you would get off your income tax (married) for having six children would be s66; all that you would set off, by having five more children, would be s4 and six bits Married or unmarried in Norway you could escape paying an income tax only by having an income less than sss.0s a year.

DESPAIR OF THE DEAF

From the New 1ork sun.
 Time and time again we're asked to have our actors face the audience square iy when speaking lines that are of great importance" a theatrical manager said recently. "The explanation for this re- quest is generally the same, that deaf peo- pie in the audience who depend on lip reading rather than hearing lose the run of the play If some important lines are spoken by aSperson whose lips can't be read. An actor or actress who's stuck on posing ill profile is always the despair of the deaf people in the audience, as they say it's almost impossible to read lips in profile Our ticket agent hears another side of the same question. People tell him when buying tickets that someone in the party is stone deaf and must read the lips of the actors in order to follow the play. Then they ask him on which side of the theatre these particular seats should be located to make this lip read ing the most satisfactory. Often the stage setting decides which way the actors must face and if deaf person gets on the wrong side of the house the play Is practically lost"

Bright Days In Mexico

There is a good deal of common sense in Mexico after all. When Diaz and his advisers had to choose be- tween a bloody struggle and a sur render to the Maderists, they surren- dered. and there is no string tied to 1t. Diaz and Corral will hand over the power they now hold as president and vice president, and under the consti- tuition Foreign Minister De La Barra will become president until an cleo tion can be held. Madero and De La Barra will in the meanwhile reorgan- ize the government, and Madero and Dr. Gomez seem to be slated to be elected president and vice president. To this programme all seem to as- sent, and peace is practically restored throughout the entire country.
 Nor is this all. Congress is in ses- sion, and it is perfecting new cleo tion law under which the successor of Diaz and De La Barra will be elected. Under this bill the elections will be held under the supervision of the candidates themselves. One candidate will watch another. Heretofore the elections were conducted by the may ors, who passed on the eligibility of voters and counted the ballots. These mayors were in various ways parts of the federal machine, and they con ducted elections to suit the fedora administration.
 The new election bill will place al voting machinery in the hands of the voters. and ballots are to be prepared that those who cannot read will un-
 .rstand. The color of the paper used will do this. The new election law is one of the reforms that ripened in the revolution, and it is perhaps one of the most important of long series, for Mexico needs reconstruction in many respects.

Captain Darby's Glow

The veterans extend thanks and good wishes to Little Rock" said Cap tain J. Lawler Darby. adjutant of Camp Hardee. "She did her best, and that was good enough.
 "'where are you from, comrade 9 Birmingham. Give me your hand old man; you are in the lead yet Is there room over there for any more people?' Plenty Well then, I am coming
 Sam Jones said there was nothing between Arkansas and the Mississippi river but he'll If he could see Arkan- sas today he would ask, Are all the people that I knew dead? These folk look and talk different from those I met. I met the original Arkansas Traveller and his wife. They brought the children and the grandchildren along to see the old soldiers.
 The good old people looked a little i'll at ease among the college set, but no nobler men or better women mingled among the great crowds gathered In Little Rock than these pioneers and their sons and daughters. How won derful is the mind, and with proper training, what is beyond its reach? Arkansas caught the spirit of the older states and went to work to educate the young, and now we see fine re- suits"

Changes in the Constitution

The amended resolution submitted by Chairman Henry of the committee on rules is a sweeping proposition. It Is not, however, too sweeping, for the constitution is over century old and it does not fit the country like a glove.
 Not only does the proposed consti- tutional amendment call for change in the date of the Presidents inau- puration to the last Thursday in April, but it also provides for meet ing of Congress every year on the first Tuesday of each January. This would eliminate the short session al together. The country has outgrown it. As conducted at present it means hurried legislation and oftentimes an extra session.
 Then, too, the meeting of a new Congress soon after it has been elected would be change for the better. At. present a new Congress does not meet until about year after it has been elected. Congress would be in session when a President is in augurated and this would be change for the better.
 The Henry resolution should bs sent to the states for ratification along with another resolution provid ing for the direct election of United States senators. These two resolu tions, together with the pending in come tax resolution, would go far t lick the federal constitution int shape to stand many years longer Some changes have been made in without authority. For example, it plan for electing President and Vie President broke down almost at tn outset, and it was showed aside b general consent without bein changed in an official manner.

"DUDEs, AND TROUGH NECks,

Dillon Wallace, in Outing.
 Travellers in Wyoming are classified as ''dudes,' sage brushers," or rough necks." Any one who traveds or hunts with a guide is a dude" no matter how rough or unkempt his personal appear ance. Those who travel with wagons on beaten roads, camping in more or less comfort, with the paraphernalia they are able to carry in this way, are sage brushers." A horseback traveller, doing his own cooking and camp work, unassist- ed by a guide, and in fact roughing 1t in the true sense, is rough neck"-that is, one travelling as the people of the country travel. They do not consider that man is roughing 1t who has a guide to care for him and his camp equipment. nor one who travels by wagon or beaten roads. This classification extends over
 Yellowstone park as well as the surround | ing region.

End of Potash Dispute

About two years ago the syndicate that controlled the potash supply of Germany, which is practically the pot ash supply of the world, went to pieces, and the large American fer tilizer companies, evert alert, stepped in and made contracts covering se- ries of years for a supply of potash lat reasonable prices.' These prices were so reasonable" that much grumbling ensued, and the syndicate was reformed. The German govern ment was induced by the syndicate to place an export tax on potash and in this way the American contracts be- came practically worthless.
 A long diplomatic controversy fol- lowed, and now it is said all has been settled except the naming of the price at which potash is to be sold to the American contractors. The contro- versy has been long and at times warm. In the course of it Ambassa dor Hill resigned. Whether his man. agement of the potash question had anything to do with his resignation is not known. It is believed it did Nothing has, however, been disclosed touching this point, and all that is made public is the fact that the enc of the controversy is at hand together with the naming of new price or exports of potash to the American contractors of two years ago.

SON THE CARPET.y

Henry Patterson Waldo, in Harpers
 Weekly.
 The primary use of carpets in Europe was to cover tables. The first of these so-called carpets were embroidered-not
 woven-fabrics, and were made in French
 cloisters about a thousand years ago.
 The manufacture of carpets in Europe
 did not begin until the reign of Henry
 " of France. In England the industry
 was established about 175O by a French
 artisan who, being at odds with his own country, fled thither. Carpet-making, as a modern industry, was first developed in France That
 country had large factories and a monop-
 oly in Europe of the art of carpet weav-
 ing when a rush-strewn floor was the rule
 even in the royal palaces of Britain. But
 the Edct of Nantes, that great dispenser of French artisans and artistry, caused many of the carpet craftsmen 10 cross the channel. They settled at Bristol, Ak
 minister, and other places In the south west of England. From there the secrets of the industry spread to Glasgow, Kid derminster. and the towns of Yorkshire iA'SS P'eiSSo oi sun thc Sitdl carpet weaving centers of Great Britain. The first carpet mill in America was moi established until after the close of the | revolution It was in 1791, at Philade,- phia, that carpet making as an industry was born in the United States. Since
 then. however, this country has become pre-eminent in carpet making, for the same reason that it has won first ranL in all the other textile arts and other in- l dustries, not through devising new weaves, but by the invention of number | less time and labor-saving devices in car l pet looms.

THE LUNCHES OF TAMPICO

swishing of palm leaf. I dropped fiat A rush of wind swept in my ears. Fran tically scrambling to my knees, I saw the finish of a Jaguar's leap. When he hit 1t was to huncf his long tawny body Id half turn, so that saw his face. At five feet the sight of his open jaws with yellow fangs, his pale eyes of brute fe- rocity, stopped my breath. Without rais- ing the automatic rife I fired twice, the two shots believing into one sound Both missed. I would have fired again without aiming, but the jaguar went into the palms at one spring.
 I watched for the big jaguar again, and at sunset the next evening he stalked out of his runway and lapped the water of the stream. It was with a sure eye this time that looked at him over the rifle sights and let drive five laundering shots. tf s4f a44f45l.a -.f, ,.t -@...,
 But jaguars, being eats, have nine lives, and this one, with a hoarse con- mingling of cough and roar plunged out of sight up the runway. Daylight showed dark spots significantly staining the stones where he had stood, and there were several tufts of yellow hair lying in the trail.
 I did not believe I was overstepping the truth when I told the mother of the lost child that she need not fear that partic- ular tiger any more.
