Ballots Fourteen Feet Long

In the forthcoming primaries in New York, to be held on March 26, some of the ballots will break the record. In the Twenty third congress sional district in that state the paper on which the citizen is to make his preferences for various candidates will be IA feet long. Such a ballot is preposterous.
 The Ohio constitutional convention is struggling with the question of a short ballot. It goes without the say ing that the ballot should be made for the citizen. The average citizen can not, or rather will not, train himself to select representatives when there are AZ offices on his ballot This is generally the case in Ohio.
 The Los Angeles ballot at the last election in California was a horrible example. It was yard long and two feet wide, beginning with Hiram w. Johnson for governor and winding up with Warren Williams for justice of the peace. It bore the names of more than 200 candidates, not to men tion referendums, and constitutional amendments.
 The ballot in Jefferson county will be nearly as fobidding, but when the fee system is abolished great change for the better will take place. Until then this country seems doomed to suffer from ballot that is never short.

lays. They assert first and foremost that they cannot secure employees who can be trusted to issue bills of lading that are a genuine obligation. This is all stuff and nonsense. It is simply part of their obstructive tactics.
 Congress should have the courage to pass a bill that will make any bill of lading issued by an interstate rail- road an obligation as to the delivery of the freight to which it relates. No other settlement of the bill of lading question is possible, and Congress may as well face the problem now as to do it later, for it is emphatically one of those questions that are never settled until they are settled right.
 The western grain dealers are com ing to the support of the cotton ship pers in demanding a bill to make rail- roads responsible for bills of lading whether agents who make the bill receive the goods or not This is the true settlement, and this will be ac- complished if the grain and cotton shippers pull steadily together.

ALL WEDDINGS ON ONE DAY

From LcSlle.s.
 In the city of Plougaste, in Brittany, France, all marriages take place on one and the same day. The men are all fish- ermen, many of them going a s far as the Newfoundland banks and are at ho,ne only during a few months in the winter One day the courting is done, but much haggling over the dowry of the girls They have to bring a certain quantity of linen, chickens. pigs and vegetables Ere quently match is broken off because the girls father refuses to add sack of potatoes to the dowry.
 On the day set the inhabitants of the entire region go to Plougastel The whole population goes to church to hear mass to take communion and to witness inc wedding ceremonies. Often fifty and more couples are united on the same day Bride and groom do not walk together until the ceremony has been completed For the rest of this and the whole of the next day every house is open to re- ceive guests and to provide food and drink for them. On the evening of the second day the young men carry the dowries of the brides to the houses of the grooms. There they dance and froic un- til early morning. and. after they leave, the couple are for the first time together and alone. During the remainder of the year no marriages are concluded.

From the Macon Telegraph.
 The Telegraph has several times depre- cated the spirit of sandbaggism-knocl down and -dra g-out-whch has made it's appearance in the primary contest in the democratic party for President.
 The Telegraph has a way of dealing frankly and as strongly as it can with issues but it tries to eschew the bitter manifest. The Telegraph fights, however, when it is forced to fight
 This newspaper appreciates the many good traits in the character of Hon. Woodrow Wilson, and at first thought new and useful gladiator had come for
 ward in the party, his previous record
 and writings having been good and
 sound. We were more than predisposed in his favor. But when he turned his
 back on his own record and espoused the widest of the issues of the day-why,
 we were greatly disappointed. But re- specting him personally. and recognizing his right to change his views, we just could not change with him and follow
 him. In series of editorial articles pub lished during the last four years-several within the last few days. and one yes terday-we exposed the dangers in the widest of all socialistc dosmas, the ini- tiative, referendum and recall. This dog ma Woodrow Wilson, the former college president, condemned. Bpt the present
 Woodrow Wilson, the candidate who wants to please Bryan, approves. The change is too sudden, too violent too transparent which shows that he is not of the Jefferson, Jackson or Cleveland type of statesmen.
 Then why not Underwood, a real, con-
 sistent, next door neighbor southern democrat?
 Alabama Is the daughter of Georgia
 her eldest and fairest daughter. Oscar
 Underwood her son, has come forward
 recently with great force as demo-
 cratic leader in Washington. He has
 emphasized the tariff issue, and the party
 must win or lose on 1t. He has, by his
 wise and prudent management, leaped | to the very forefront. Being a son of Alabama, he Is therefore a grandson, as ! 1t were, of Georgia He is a man of deeds of experience in governmental affairs not mere theotist. And these are the
 reasons why one hears so much talk of
 him just now in Georgia, and throughout the country.
 Underwood is an honored name in she south and in Georgia Oscars relatives of that name were in the very forefront of Georgia affairs one and two genera ! tions ago.
 The south now has a chance to step in | the lead with a real southern statesman | the one chance in more than half century
 | The difference between Underwood and | Bryan is the difference between the dove and the daw--the difference between the ! safe and sane south and the wild and woolly west. If we are going to name a southern man for the high office. let us name a real one with no admiXtures; one that will not be dominated by Bry- an, and more than all let us name hiin
 for ourselves, and not at the dictation of Bryan.

Last Appearance of the Maine

After a rest on the bottom of Ha- vana harbor dating from February 15, 1898, the wreck of the battleship Maine has been lowed out to sea and sunk in many, many fathoms of water. There were no fireworks in the clos ing scene. The seacocks were opened, and the wreck disappeared. The old wreck was escorted by the cruiser Birmingham and numerous other craft in its last appearance afloat.
 The bodies of 65 members of the crew were found in the wreck, and these bodies are to be brought home and duly laid to rest. The ceremonies at Havana will doubtless lead to addi- tional honors in this country.
 Thus passes away ship that can never be forgotten in the history of the country--a ship that brought on a war with Spain and changed the course of Spain's outside possessions. It was indeed ship with a record.

 The elder Mr. Dosenbaeh had his resi- dence in Birmingham temporarily about eight years ago. This city has made wonderful progress in recent years, said he Flight years ago l could see that Birmingham was destined to become a great city. l said at the time that anyone who could buy the property opposite the Woodward building, known as the Bank saloon corner, and hold 1t a few years would make money I see now hand some skyscraper in the place of the Did saloon. Of the many evidences of Blr- minghams growth, stranger notices. first, perhaps, the increasing number of tall office buildings"
 MT. Dosenbach said that St. Louis was growing fast and that business conditions there were all the while improving.

Dr. Wiley's Resignation

Dr. Wiley has given up the fight for the pure food and drugs act. He struggled long and hard against the various schemes brought to bear to nullify his work. He did accomplish "a great deal despite all those schemes; the most of which had the support of men higher up acting for mercenary manufacturers and dealers. He found that the makers of misbranded or adulterated foods and drugs were constantly gaining ground, and he therefore concluded to withdraw from the service of the government. The President sustained him in theory only, and the Secretary of Agricul- turc sustained the other side as rule. Attorney General Wickersham naturally came to the aid of the aged Wilson.
 The President will have difficulty in securing a suitable successor at the head of the bureau of chemistry. Dr. Wiley built up the spineless food and drugs act until it had some good in it. He did this against influences of divers sort. To find a man who will take up the work courageously in the teeth of opposition, will be difficult indeed. The entire machine would be against such g man.

Tennessee Politics

While l am of the republican persuasion, l talked politics freely with some of the leading demo- cfats. found them absorbed in their Tennessee factiona differences as to make them appear indifferent to national poli- tics. None of the democrats with whom I came in contact seemed to have any preference for the presidential nomina- tion.

No matter hoy |, as q republican, regard his chances for election both democrats and repub- lcans of the south should want to see him honored by his party as protest again the old embargo placed upon d southerner in connection with the prcsi- dency'

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
st, Pafrick's Day

Today is the feast of 1relands patron saint and members of the Ancient Order
 of Hibernans will observe 1t by receiving 1 holy communion.
 According to the Rev. pr. s. M. Jackson,
 well known Presbyterian historiograph-
 CT. 'St. Patrick was born about S12; was a captive and slave of the King of Dalradla ! in Ireland from 3sS to 395; went to Gaul,
 and was there ordained priest and bishop; went to Ireland as a missionary Tn 452 and died at Saul. near Strangford Loush' County Down, Ulster where many years
 before he had founded his first church on March r, 465, the day now sacred to ms memory. Ireland was then occupied by a
 great number of petty tribes, most Of
 which were evangelical by St. Patrick.
 So well was the work accomplished tha. Ireland was known in subsequent cen turies as the Island of the Saints. The
 method employed was that of dealing cautiously and gently with the old pagan 1 ism of the people. The chieftains were first won over, and through them their clans"
 Dr. Jackson then goes on to say that while much that is related of St. Patrick is fabulous, his autobiographical Con resslen' and his "Epistle to Corotius,"
 both of which are unquestionably genu- inc, reveal a devout and energetic nis- sionary
 Not only do all frishmen love to honor St. Patrick but the friends of 1rishmen everywhere enter into the spirit of the
 day we celebrate" Millions of men throughout the United States were wear ing the green yesterday and will wear 1t today.

West End Public school

''The dramatic and musical entertain ment under the auspices of the Hemphll School Improvement association, given Friday night in West End for the benefit of the school was preeminent success from a social and education, as well as 2 financial point of view said citizen. Both children and patrons are to be con- graduated.
 "The school grounds at West End should be enlarged An area of 100 by 150 feet IS shockingly inadequate for the accom- mediation of TOO children. Our able and efficient city commissioners should look after this matter. West End came into Birmingham as a good asset and not a burden.

Young WOmen's Christian Association

The six story annex to the Young Women's Christian association build ing is almost completed. The eleva- tor has been installed and the rooms soon will be furnished and ready for occupancy. Donations of furniture have been made by firms or individ- uals for IS rooms. 1t is hoped that all the rooms will be furnished short ly by gift. The Young Women's Christian association is popular and there will be need for every one of the rooms.
 Most of the subscriptions to the building fund have been paid, but those remaining unpaid will total quite a sum. The prominent women of Birmingham who compose the as- sociation management will greatly ap- -preciate prompt remittances from those persons who have not yet paid their subscriptions.
 The Young Women's Christian asso- citation is doing a most excellent work and it is worthy, therefore, of gener- ous encouragement from every direc- ton.

SIAM HAS WOMEN POLICE

From the London Globe.
 Siam is one of the few countries which boasts of corps of women police The members of this Amazon guard are all old and ugly. They wear a uniform, though they are not armed. Their chief duty is to act as gatekecpers of the In- ner or Women's Palace at Bangkok. They follow any stranger who enters the palace and remain with him until he takes his departure. They sec that ,tllere is no mischief done, and that no one makes love to the royal wives and court women. Men who have business inside the palace-doctors, architects, carpen- ters, electric light filters. etc, enter tine palace freely. but are always accom- panied by some of the Amazon guard The palace has some difficulty in recruit ing these guards, as the work is hard and the pay poor.

TURNING TO UNDERWOOD
pm the Savannah News.

rum tit .NtWS
 In an interview in Washington Tues day. Joseph Randall of New Orleans, in discussing the democratic presidential can didates, said: Where few months ago it looked as if Governor Wilson would carry every southern statsp with the ex- ception perhaps of Kentucky, the change that has occurred in the sentiment of the people has been so great that it now ap- pears that he will not get solid dele gation from any southern state. Further along in his interview he said that two months ago Louisiana was conceded to Governor Wilson. but that if primary were held now he thought that Mir Un- derwood would be the choice
 There undoubtedly has been great change from Wilson to. Underwood since it became definitely known that Mir. Cn- derwood would be candidate And this change isn't at all remarkable. If d southern man is ever to be a candidate for President it is time the southern people were standing up for their section. For scores of years the south has been fur nishing practically all of the electoral votes the democratic presidential candi- dates have received and the north the candidates. This condition of affairs will continue indefinitely unless the south as- serts her riShts-unless she insists that her sons shall receive some consideration at the hands of the party.
 The south herself is to blame Tor the lack of consideration she has received in democratic national conventions. She has kept herself in the background on the theory that q southern candidate wouldn't be popular in the north. She TOW knows from the northerners them selves that there would be in the north no prejudice against a candidate from the south. On the contrary. there arc 'reasons for thinking that southern candidate would be more popular in the north than a northern candidate would, mainly for the reason that the northern people would like to show by their ballots that sectional feeling has entirely dsap- peared. Besides, there are influences the north would like to have exerted in the national government that the south alone can exert. sa ssE ~
 If the south continues to occupy Il back seat in the government she will have only herself to blame, There will never be better opportunity than the present one for her to show that she

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 A man stepped up briskly to a hotel counter and proceeded to register. First he wrote in the midde cr the line Mo ? This he flanked first to the left with Mutt" On the extreme left he in- scribed John and on the right "Jr."
 The job seemed complete, but he added M D.
 Hotel clerks around the country re- member one traveller who used to regis ter his address first and his name last writing both upside down. 1t must have taken vast practice.
 Frank Daniels applied for rooms at a hotel in Philadelphia where he had al- ways stayed. Mrs. Daniels remained by the elevator door while the formalities were going on She had with her a par rot in a cage.
