Spain and the Maine

The water within the cofferdam that surrounds the wreck of the Maine has been pumped out, but world of slime and mud is yet to be removed, and three or four months may pass before this part of the task will be completed Until the mud is removed no one can say what kind of a story the old hulk will disclose.
 The request in La correspondence de Espana" of Madrid is therefore premature. The Madrid paper says the United States, in view of the revelations made within the coffer- dam, should publicly proclaim the in nocence of Spain of the explosion which destroyed the battleship. La Correspondence" should be more patient. An apology may be due Spain, but it certainly will not be fully due until the hulk is wholly ex- posed to public view and expert ob- servation.
 The time-worn old ship may yet show that a minor outside explosion led to the explosion of the ships own magazines, thus rendering the catas- trophe complete and overwhelming, The effects of the explosions of the magazines may render it difficult to find evidence of a preliminary ex- ternal explosion. The removal of the mud and slime must therefore go on in order that the utmost evidence may be secured. America is not en- deavoring to convict or to acuuit Spain. This country is endeavoring to secure all ascertainabe truth, and 1t is spending a very considerable sum of money to do this. The inno- cence of Spain may be proven, but the chances are that thirteen years of decay and the explosion of the maga- zines of the ship will leave the evil ndence about where it stood before the cofferdam was built.

peetation that the veto bill will be repealed as soon as the unionists re- gain power. Mr. Balfour knows this expectation has nothing to rest upon.
 The veto bill will never be repealed, and when it becomes law this week England will witness the greatest constitutional change of a century.
 When the veto bill becomes a part of the constitution on Wednesday or Thursday the house of lords can hold up through three sessions of parlia- ment covering two years any bill that the speaker of the commons does not consider a money bill. It can hold up a Home Rule bill and a bill to disestablish the Church of Wales, both of which are parts of the minis terial programme. But that is all it can do. Its suspensory veto power is limited, and the country will see that it remains limited. The veto bill will never be repealed. The house of lords may in time be abolished. Ger many is prosperous under a one chamber parliment and England does not need a second chamber. The ac- tion of the present week may lead on to the ending rather than the mend ing of the historic house of lords. England moves slowly, but still she does move steadily toward popular

UNDERWOOD NOMINATED

From the Charleston News and Courier
 Now comes The Birmingham Age-Her- alA reciting the great credit which has heen reflected upon Alabama by the work e. the floor leader of the democratic party in the House of Representatives at Washington, and commenting to the dem ocrats of the country the Hon. Oscar Underwood as "a logical candidate for tie presdency' MT. Underwood" as- serts his Birmingham sponsor, stands for the whole country in an essentially economic period, and Alabama should make known to the entire country the confidence she reposes in him." The Age- Herald continues:
 'The slogan of the Underwood cam paign should be revision downward to a revenue basis until the cost of living Is reduced to normal. The next presidential campaign should be made to turn on this issue, and Oscar Underwood will best of all represent that issue. It is he who las carried and who will carry that issue to a practical conclusion. He is the in- carnation of the issue that touches the pocket of every voter"
 There is nothing preposterous in The Age-Herald's suggestion. MT. Underwood, it is true, is comparatively new man in national politics, since, although he haS been in Congress for number of years. 1t is only during the present session that nc has come into the centre of the stage. The impression he has made upon the public generally has been a most agree able one. He is brainy, courageous, re- sourceful endowed with plenty of tact, and wthal a man of admirable self-com- inand and hard sense. Nevertheless, we do not think that Mr. Underwood 10 cherishing hopes that the democratic nomination will come to him next sum iaer He is probably committed to his friend, the speaker; and besides, we nave carefully examined MT. Bryans list or eIipjbles as published in last weeks Commoner and we find there no mention of the gentlenlaii from Alabama.

That Remsen Board Again

The House committee on agricul- tural department expenditures pro- poses to unearth the story of the Remsen board that President Roose- welt was induced to appoint by Ses- retary Wilson and the canners that desired to put benzoate of soda in their goods. The board was ap- pointed for the express purpose of overruling Dr. Wiley's efforts to pre- serve the purity of foods and drugs. It was really appointed to enable the canning and preserving factories to render merchantable through the use of benzoic acid the refuse of the fac tories-skins, cores, stems and sur plus juice, green, moldy, rotten, broken and generally unusable vege- tables. There was no authority for the appointment of such board, but Secretary Wilson and the canners felt that Dr. Wiley must in some way be overruled, and so the Remsen board was brought into existence, and it acquitted the canners and pro- nounced benzoic acid harmless.
 Instead of kicking up row be- cause Dr. Wiley paid Dr. Rusby of Columbia university more than $9 day, let the House committee on agri- cultural expenditures ascertain how much was paid to the highbrows of the Remsen board, and also what au- thority there was for any payment. and also why the Remsen board was confined to the answering of one question, namely, are minute daily doses of sodium benzoate deleterious to young men in vigorous health? Remsen himself said the board was directed to take up only such ques- tions as were referred to it by Sec retary Wilson.
 Let us at any rate know how much was paid to this illegal board that Wilson succeeded in appointing and in manipulating until it brought in a report in favor of a preservative that no country in Europe permits to be used. Let us know how much was paid to this illegal board. The en- tire story of the Remsen board should be uncovered and put in black and white before the people of the coun- try who have been consuming the re- fase of the preserving and canning factories.

From the Charleston Evening Post.
 The unwinding of the prohibition coil is proceeding rather rapidly in Alabama. The state prohibition law, passed about three years ago, in a At of hysteria, was repealed at the last session of the leg islature, a local option act being sub stituted The act gives to counties the widest option, permitting choice of pro- hibition, licensed saloons or dispensary. Montgomery county, in which the city of Montgomery is located voted yester- day on the option, and a high license for saloons was declared for by a very large majority, more than 75 per cent of the vote being cast for that method of con- trol of the liquor traffic Only a few more than 400 votes were cast favorable to prohibition. The dispensary system had fewer supporters than prohibition. The election is said to have been very orderly, and there was practically no or ganized prohibition movement and very little work about the polls.
 The attempt to institute prohibition in Alabama has not only been notable failure, but the cause has been actually
 
 fish it. The whole movement was arti- ilcial and hyterical, and was doomed to disastrous failure. The only remarkable thing about the matter is the early and frank acknowledgement of the error made by the people of the state. As rule, there is a large flavor of hypocrisy in such situations, and, instead of prompt and effective correction of them and re- | turn to sane conditions, there is mere neglect of enforcement of the unwelcome statute. and, in consequence, general discredit of all law. We have had a good deal of that in South Carolina, and
 in Georgia it has been worse, for there
 has been scarcely pretense of prohibi-
 ton in some portions of that state since
 the state prohibition act went into effect two years ago.
 | The people of Alabama have gone about the business of regulating the liquor traf- fc in a very practical and a wholly hon ! est way. They have abandoned the futile attempt to prevent the sale of | liquor everywhere, and have placed upon the individual communities the respon- sibility of regulating their own conduct with respect to the consumption of olco- hoic beverages. This means that what ever a community chooses in the matter it will practice those which choose pro- hibiton being able to enforce it, and those which do not choose prohibition be- ing at least free of the pretense of an abstention which they are not observ- ing nor subject to the insidious evil of contempt for all law through the per sistent violation of one statute. In short the cause of temperance has gained ground in Alabama.

Acceptance of the Inevitable

In the British parliament the veto bill, considerably amended, has been sent back to the house of commons which will presumably reject all amendments, and then the lords will be face to face with an acceptance of the bill of the government or else with the seating of $50 new peers, more or less.
 The action of the lords is not doubtful. They will vote in the crisis of this week to preserve their own caste by preventing the doubling of the peerage with liberals, and will accept suspensory veto power over other than money bills as the best that can be saved from the wreck of their historic power.
 They will do this under the ex-

old English Customs

Many picturesque customs popular in England several centuries ago, but unobserved in modern times, have been revived in this twentieth century" said a travelled man.
 "Religious pageants have been much in vogue in England during the past few years and the elaborate corona tion ceremonies in June surpassed any thing seen in the British empire In the way of pomp and archaic ritual since the sixteenth century. The ceremonial reception of the young Prince of Wales into the most noble order of the garter was almost equal in splendor to the coronation of the King and Queen, and the investiture of the heir apparent, witii his highest title, Prince or Wales' conformed to ancient custom, the cere- mony taking place in Carnarvon castle in Wales, the first time anything Of the sort had occurred in long years.
 "The sovereign and the Prince Of Wales have, as we all known, many minor titles. An honor that belongs ex-officio to the King is that of pre- bendary of St. David's cathedral in Wales. In the CnufCn OI ElS ldHu d prebendary is clergyman who ranks next below a canon. He is usually a preacher of exceptional distinction, and it is his duty to preach at least once a year In the cathedral to which he is of ficially attached as prebendary. The pay he receives for this homiletic serv- ice is fl a year.
 William the Conquerer was the first royal layman to become a prebendary. He was so proclaimed in St. David's s cathedral and ever since his day a chair of estate, over which appears the sovereign's coat of arms, has been conspecuous in the chancel. King George, who believes in promotin g ornate ceremonial, seems to have over looked the fact that he was a pre- bendary and that it was his right to | be installed in ecclesiastical form. As | the sovereign is the constitutional head l or ruler of the Anglican church no | king in modern times has occupied his | seat in St. Davids as a mere preben- l dary But King George may yet con- l clude to go through the ceremony of i. installation"
