DAlRYMAN DICKINSON is
NOW STATE CHAMPION.
Wrests LaureIs From w. w. Marsh Of
Waterloo and Takes Some
Valuable Cash Prizes.

Mason City, Aug. 15.-The champion
dairy herd in Iowa is owned by Ed
ward Dickinson, of this county, whose
herd of fifteen COWS produced an aver
age of 29S pounds of butter fat be-
tween August l, 1910, and August l,
1911. according to the figures Of G..
w. Patterson, dairy expert for the
North Iowa Dairy association. This
record beats that of w. w. Marsh, of
Waterloo whose herd had been at the
top of the dairy list for many years.
AS a result Mr.. Dickinson's herd
has won for him several hundred dol
lars worth of prizes ranging from tons
of stock food to the latest cream sep
arators. His cows produced total
of 4,181.5 pounds of butter fat.
The contest was entered by 10 cows
in the Manly district and lao in the
Plymouth district, J. F. Custard lead
ing the Plymouth district by an aver-
age of 1918 pounds of butter fat per
COW with herd of five COWS. Ac-
cording to statement of Mr.. Pattec-
son, if the association which contains
some 10000 COWS had animals of the
character of Mr.. Patterson, 1000 less
COWS would be necessary to produce
the butter the total number did.

Judge and his character as man
have been subject to test OF all the
varieties of judicial work and duty
so as to furnish a proper means OF
measuring his fitness for continuance
in another term.
On the instant of an unpopular rul'
ne, while the spirit of protest has not
had time to cool and even while an
appeal may be pending from his ruling
in which he may be sustained, he IS
to be hailed before the electorate as
tribunal, with no judicial hearing, evil
dence or defense, and thrown out OF
Office, and disgraced for. life because
he has failed, in single decision, 1t
NAV be. to satisfy the popular de-
mand.
Think of the opportunity such a
system would give to the unscrupulous
political bosses in control, as they
have been in control not only OF con-
yentions. but elections. Think of the
enormous power for evil given to the
sensational, undertaking portion OF the
press in rousing prejudice against a
lust Judge by false charges and insin-
nations, the effect of which. in the
short period of an election by recall,
/ if would be impossible for him to
meet and offset.
Motive It Would Offer.
Supporters of such a system seem
to think that it will work only in the
interest of the poor, the humble. the
weak and the oppressed; that it will
strike down only the Judge who is
supposed to favor corporations and De
affected by the corrupting influence
of the rich. Nothing could be fur
ther from the ultimate result The
motive it would offer to INSCRIPTIONS
combinations to seek to control poll
tics in order to control the judges is
clear.
Those would profit by the recall
who have the best opportunity OF rous
ing the majority of the people to act
of a sudden impulse. Are they likely
to be the wisest or the best people III
community? Do they not include
those who have money enough to EN-
ploy the fire brands and slanderers
| in a community and the stirrers up OF
social hate? Would not self respect
ing men we'll hesitate to accept ju
dicial office with such sword Of
Damocles hanging over them?
What kind of judgment might those
on the unpopular side expect from
courts whose judges must make thell
decisions under such legalized terror
|ism? The character of the judges
would deteriorate to that of trimmers
and time servers, and Independent ju
dicial action would be a thing of the
past. AS the possibilities of such
system pass in review, is it too much
to characterize it as one which will de
stroy the judiciary, it's standing anf
its usefulness?

The Phoenix Bowl

Roscoe Bulger, who was formerly To- cated in Birmingham, but who is now connected with the Phoenix hotel of Lexington, Ky. is visiting relatives and friends in Alabama.
 "Lexin gton," said he, has about 3S,- 900 people and supports four fine hotels. The largest of the four is the Phoenix. This place of entertainment was built in 1779. About the old building we have constructed new one, the whole making splendid appearance. The hotel has 300 rooms and is clearing about II per cent on the investment. All the other hotels of Lexington are also making money.
 We have a glass punch bowl inlaid with silver in service at the present time which was used in the opening reception of the old hostelry in 1779 The old bowl has a unique history in- asmuch as it passed unscratched through three disastrous fires We use it constantly in spite of the danger of 1t being broken The guests demand the old relic, and every Kentuckian knows it's history. Furthermore, when the bowl is presented, there are half a dozen men who at the same instant begin to narrate the story of its original purchase and it's exciting experiences.' y

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Recently a Montgomery barber adver- tsed for board through the want columns of the Advertiser. Among the scores of answers he received was the following:
 Montgomery, December 15, 1911.
 Dear Sir: In reply to your 'ad' in the Advertiser for board, will say that have recently opened a boarding stable and I have one nice stall left that think would suit you. It is a nice quiet stall, situated in the extreme rear of the building. The stall on one side of you will be occuied by a Jersey bull, the other by a nice, refined mule, and I will guarantee that neither of them will trouble you in any way, except that the mule may snore a little loud at times, but you will have the same privilege, and so it will be as fair for one as the other.
 Our fare is the best that can be had. You will have three meals a day, con- sisting of hard corn and the best water grass hay. You will be entitled to a shower bath once each day from our two inch stable hose. Your feet will be well cared for and your mane and fetlocks kept in good order. We are prepared to do first class clipping at a reasonable price.
 You will find a salt brick in your trough which you may lick between meals.
 "Please let me know at once if you want the stall and I will have new supply of sawdust put on tn efloor and the partition fixed so that you cannot take the feed from your friends on either side"

The Telephone Compromise

The compromise reached by the city commission and the Southern Bell Telephone company regarding tele- phone rates removes from litigation question in which the public has been deeply concerned.
 According to the exhibit made by the Southern Bell the old rates were not sufficient to return a fair profit on the large capital invested in it's ey- tensive plant. The company is allowed to advance it's rates on business phones, while the rates on residence phones are to remain unchanged un- til January 1, 1914.
 Now that the city government and the Bell Telephone company have reached an agreement it is hoped that something will be done forthwith whereby Birmingham will have only one telephone system. Many persons subscribe to two phones. This causes an annoyance, to say nothing Of the additional expense to business con- cerns or individuals. No one should feel called upon to incur the expense of more than one phone.

power in an imperial parliament. He wants, in other words, strictly lim- tied monarchy not unlike the English government.
 Wu Ting Fang, speaking for the rebels, insists that the Manchu regime be fully abolished-oh pension-and a republic not unlike that of the United States be established, with a president and with a great deal of power and government vested in the IS provinces.
 Further negotiations between Pe- king and Shanghai will be awaited with interest, and in the meanwhile Germany, France, Russia, Great Britain, Japan and, it is said, the United States are urging the two sides to arrive at an early settlement. These powers would, no doubt, with the exception of the United States, favor the establishment of a eonsti- tutional monarchy. China's welfare, and perhaps independence, hang in the balance, and any days news may prove decisive and deeply important to 45O ,O00, 900 of people.

TOWER TO TOP THE EIFrE,.

San Francisco Correspondence New
 York Sun.
 The exposition directors have decided to erect a memorial tower as feature of the exposition. which will be $50 feet high. The plans have been accepted. The structure will cost $1, ,500 900 and will be built with private capital. At the end of the fair 1t will revert to the city.
 The base is to be 2S2 feet square and 120 feet high. From this base will rise shaft S5 feet square and 73O feet high, making the total height of the structure $50 feet. The tower will be of steel and the exterior will be of terra cotta or marble.
 The top of the tower will be approx imately 1900 feet above the sea level if it is erected in Lincoln Park. That would make it S16 feet higher than the Eiffel tower in Paris and 746 feet high CT than the Washington monument.

THE BAN ON ABSENTEE

From the Boston Globe.
 When any food or drug is forbidden to he sold or is restricted in sale in the country where it is made or from which it is imported, then its importation into the United States may be forbidden un- der the pure food and drug act. Hence the authority exercised by the pure food board of the department of agriculture in forbidding the importation of ab- sinthe after January l next. Its order will, however not become effective un- til signed by the Secretary of Agricul- tlre. who is waiting to hear from im- porters and other interested parties"
 Those other interested parties will hardly agree with Dr. Wiley's opinion that '.absinthe is one of the worst ene- mics of man''-an opinion reached after long investigation by the bureau of chemistry. If the connection is not an enemy of man, it is at least not very reliable friend, any more than opium, chloral or cocaine. Its basis being an alcoholic solution of certain essential oils, It's use induces condition of alco- holic intoxication plus the poisoning Of essential oils. So serious are it's ray ages of the digestive organs and the nervous system that Switzerland and Belgium have forbidden it's manufac- ture, and France regulates rigidly it's manufacture and sale. Large quantities are imported into the United States
 Since the department of agriculture, with the sanction of Congress, has un- dertaken the paternal supervision of the public health, there would seem to be little reason for allowing the im- portation of an insidious and seductive poison which has no therapeutic, al- though it may have great commercial, va1lle

Maneuyer and Drill Camp

The troops of the regular army sta tioned in the eight states of the south east need, it appears, maneuver and drill camp, and Congressman Black mon is endeavoring to have the camp located in Anniston. He has offered a joint resolution to that effect, and he can count upon the support of this entire state in this matter.
 No healthier or more accessible or more central location could be selected in the southeast. If the army needs a maneuver and drill camp in the southeast it will make no mis- take if it goes straight to Anniston. The conveniences of modern life are there, and the hills are there also, and the gentle breezes bring there health and comfort. It is an ideal location for the proposed camp, and The Age Herald knows the military committee of the House will make no mistake if it adopts MT. Blackmon's resolution.

An Interesting Writer

There is only one of the local set of pro bono publieo' writers whose letters never escape me- said George B. Ward yesterday afternoon. That one is Capt. J. Lawler Darby. I read everything he writes, and he never writes anything but what is good After the strife of the world of business, it is exceedingly rest ful to find one who invariably breaches good will to all men, and who invariably puts the Jest construction possible on all subjects. Captain Darby, although an ardent member of the local camp of Con- federate Veterans, never loses an oppor- tunity to say kind word for the rem nant of the host of northern invaders.
 Had Captain Darby lived in the age of Charles Dickens, and had he come under the eye of that master of the novel, he would be assured of a perpetual life and perpetual fame within the pages of a famous book"

Whisky nnd NAnrms

Tom L. Long of Walker county told the following story yesterday:
 Tn a speech at Leighton during the prohibition campaign in Lauderdale county, Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, in Illustrating the deadly poison of liquor, poured few drops upon an ordinary earth worm which he held in the palm of his hand. Immediately the little worm curled up in a knot, writhed a time or two, stretched out and died.
 Behold cried the congressman. elated, and the audience was much inn pressed
 Tn the Hull which followed a coun- tryman of many whiskers who had pre- viously been sitting quietly near the rear, asked in a querelous tone: I say, captain, what is the brand of that liquor?
 The captain observed the label of the flask a moment and replied, old Red Eye, evidently very deadly variety
 Well, drawled the countryman, I'm powerful glad I came out to hear you today, for all my life I've been little wormy myself'"

Inereased Crop Explained

W. D. Smith, one of the best known citizens of Birmingham, has returned to the Magic City after having spent practi- cally all the summer and fall few miles out of Springville. His friends state that MT. Smith. having achieved a fortune, is now seeking as safe and sane outlet for his surplus through farm.
 ''The effect of my indulgence in pas sion for growing cotton and corn is plain ly visible,' said MT. Smith yesterday. Last fall, when I had no crop to throw upon the market, the farmers sold a com paratively small number of bales of cot ton. This fali, however, it is to be noted that the crop of the south will total prac- ticaly 15,00900O bales. It often happens that one man, in all his weakness, can exert wonderful influence for good or bad, and one little man, also, may some times disturb the law of supply and de- mand of a staple product.
 Seriously, however I enjoyed my year of farming. I was far from the madding crowd and was happy in the glow of lamp light and in the sound ~of the cricket S voice.
