Mir. Underwood in the East

The Pittsburg papers, not content with reports of Oscar Underwood's speeches in that city, contain editorial articles highly complimentary to the democratic leader in Congress. The Pittsburg Sun quotes approvingly his prediction that "Mr.. Wilson is going to be elected by the greatest popular and electoral majority given to any candidate for President since the war" "In addition," adds the Sun, Ito the republicans who have deserted Mr. Taft for Colonel Roosevelt, con- slider the great number of republicans who have deserted both of these men for Governor Wilson, The Sun as well as MT. Underwood have pointed to the chief factor in the Pennsylvania campaign.
 The Pittsburg Post says that MT. Underwood's argument in support of the cause was one of the best ever heard in this city, covering every fea- ture and emitting nothing that demo- crats ought to know. The cheering as- surance by Mir. Underwood, together with the positive declarations of other leaders who preceded him, ought to satisfy every doubting voter, if such there be, that all that is needed is to cast and count the ballots"
 Wherever MT. Underwood has spoken in the east he has not only done a great deal in keeping demo- crats in line but he has convincingly won new supporters to Governor Will son. The best opinion today is that Wilson will carry the four middle states, namely, Connecticut, New Jer- sey, New York and Pennsylvania.

WHY TIE HERMIT PERMITTED

From the Kansas City Star.
 A hermit was found dead in the cave in which he had resided for many years. When the cavern was examined a number of quaint and curious relics were discovered A loaded shotgun bore a tag marked: Both barrels for practical jokers. bottle wore the legend: Poison for the clammy-clawed pests who are always shaking hands and calling you brother A card identified a bunch of things knotted to a wooden handle as 6 "Knout for back slappers." Other unpleasant articles like bowie knives, bludgeons, broad axes, slungshots, rawhides, thumb screws and so on displayed fables des- ignating them for application to the confidential whisperer, the person who tells you for your own good the nui- sance who puts an endearing hand on your shoulder while relating an unin- teresting reminiscence. ct al, which went only to further show the late gen. tleman's state of mind. Being per spicacious, it was not hard for the visitors to decide why he had erased himself from the world and taken up the thankless job of hermiting.

Status of the Pure Food Law

Dr. Wiley sets forth in a recent issue of Good Housekeeping" the de- ficiencies, or rather failures, of the pure food law as administered by President Taft and Tama Jim Wilson as follows;
 "Unfortunate compromises with the sinterests' were deemed necessary by its framers.
 Distinctive names of food prod ucts, permitted by the law, afford ex- cuses for frauds.
 False claims to curative properties of drugs are permitted by court decis- ion.
 Bad provisions of the law tend to become vested interests.
 "The laws tendency is to favor the manufacturer rather than the con- sumer.
 "Chemical preservatives have been admitted by decree of the Remsen board.
 Important prosecutions in the courts drag interminably."
 It is reported that pr. Alsberg Of the bureau of plant industry has been selected to succeed Dr. Wiley. He may be good choice, although very little is known concerning hom.
 It is plain that nothing of value can be achieved in rendering the foods of the people pure while Secretary Will son and the Remsen board stay in power. The pure food law will prac- tically stand suspended until March next. when the country has the word of Woodrow Wilson that it will be full ly enforced.

Why Wilson Should Be Elected

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch pre- sents 100 reasons-all sound and good-why Woodrow Wilson should be elected. -> The Age-Herald selects 10 of the number as fair examples of the remaining 90, as follows:
 1. He has the best intellectual equipment for the presidency of any President within half century.
 2. He is radical in discussion, pro- gressive in aim, but judicious in the application of remedies.
 8. He alone of the three leading can didates offers a policy which will promptly reduce the cost of living.
 4. He proposes larger opportunities for business by freeing the credit sys- tenn from the shackles of the money trust.
 5. He stands for the income tax, in- sisting that wealth should bear it's full share of the burdens of government.
 6. He'believes in the protection of labor from injustice instead of the pro- lection of labor's monopolistic oppres- sors for the purposes of plunder.
 2. He believes in the preservation of the principle of competition as the only safeguard of opportunity inde- pendence and general prosperity for business men.
 8. He stands for democracy as op- posed to the plutocracy of Taft and the autocracy of Roosevelt.
 g. He favors a government moved by common understanding and com mon counsel to protect and promote common interests, instead of gov ernment moved by underground ar rangement and secret conference to protect and promote special interests.
 10. As President Governor Wilson would substitute publicity for secrecy in the determination of governmental policies.
 The remaining 90 reasons are equal ly as good as the 10 presented in this article, and the whole number shows how needful in this emergency the election of Governor Wilson has be- come, for one of them Sets forth the fact that Governor Wilson alone has chance to secure the support of a friendly House and Senate.

A VERSATILE POET
NEWSPAPERS OF ROYALTY

ularly to him, he has experts thereon and beer he fires off his questions and expects to receive the fullest information The annual cruise which he takes on the imperial yacht is the great occasion for these cross examinations. A distinguished company of paval, military, scientific and business men accompanies him, and if any details he is in search of cannot be supplied no time is lost in telegraphing to some one who is in position to give them.
 1 The Emperor of AustriaN very rarely reads himself. He is read to. The aged monarch still takes the keenest possible interest in the political movements in his country; he also likes to keep abreast of the times in military subjects. Literature and the arts do not, however, appeal to him.
 The Czar has paper of his own, spe- cially printed each morning. It is the most exclusive paper in the world. for ] only two cSpies are supplied, one for the Car, the other for his private secretary. l It is a two page sheet containing a digest of the news of the world compressed Into tabloid form. Needless to say. every thing calculated to disturb his majestys peace of mind is carefully omitted. I The King of Italy has literary lean ing and is fond of reading magazine ar- ticles taste shared by the King of Dem mark, who is thoroughly informed on the literary movements of the day and well able to converse on them.
 ba oP hoe ation for everything English, and English papers and magazines figure on his study table. His majesty is more a worker than reader however. and it is the Queen who supplies him with much of his | information. Details concerning his own kingdom are supplied by his secretaries and an official who holds the post of court newsman and is supposed to be up | in all the social gossip of the hour The king takes much interest in motoring, fly l ing. shooting and other sports. He also follows the trend of masculine fashions in London, and is kept advised as to the latest styles This information is sent | by firm of tailors in London, from whom the king gets the bulk of his colthes.
  ceedingly well informed. and in his case also the bulk of his information was derived from English newspapers and re- views. As tke Emperor could not read English with facility, the articles had to be translated into Japanese and con- else resume made. The Emperor was very fond of poetry; indeed, composing verses was his pet hobby. and he liked to have poetry read to him. The present emperor on the other hand. is more a man of the world, and his interest is cen- tired in moro practical matters
 | The famous Dowager Empress of China was probably the most exacting in tho matter Of her news supply. Anything considered of importance was carefully written on sheets of the finest rice paper. which were bound in silk and rolled on ivory sticks. These scrolls were read aloud by court official trained to the somewhat trying duty. for he had to pros- trate himself full length on the floor. be- hind screen, so that he might not gaze
 upon the sacred face of the great lady.

mits which the city council had grant ed to nine clubs and if the real mayor doesn't get back on his job quickly there will likely be more trouble in Atlanta over the whisky question than there has been in all the rest of the state.
 There is no doubt of course that the position that the acting mayor has taken is right, namely. that 1t is just as much a violation of the law to sell whisky in a club as in a near beer saloon, and the courts will so decide if the question Is brought squarely be- fore them. Hence we do not see that the clubs that have gone into the courts asking answers from each mem Der of council to a long list of ques- tions will gain anything for the At lanta plan of dealing with the liquor question. The wiser course, if 1t is de- sired to adhere to the club plan, would be to call back the mayor as quickly as possible There is hope In that di rection, since the mayor hasn't taken active measures against the club plan, and there is some ground for thinking
  ter should eventually be put up to him.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that more whisky, wine. beer and tobacco are being sold in this country than ever before, the report of the commissioner of internal revenue for the last fiscal year showing that s5,000,o 900 more was collected from them than for the previous year. This in- crease in the consumption of whisky, beer and tobacco is regrettable, and surprising in view of the complaints of the high cost of living. but it is a fact, and it seems to warrant the con clusion that the people will drink and smoke even if they find it difficult to get the price of meat and bread.

A. to New Po.tonice Building

"The government appropriated S20OOOO for postoffice site for Birmingham, and a site at the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street has been bought and paid for but it is not large enough" said a man who owns no real estate within five blocks of the property referred to. AS I understand 1t, the government lacks 150 feet of reaching Eighteenth street. l believe that the two pieces of property making up the 150 feet could be bought at reason able price. At any rate, the government has the right to condemn and it always allows for fair valuation.
 No appropriation has been made for the postoffice building, but MT. Under wood will likely take up this matter in the new congress. Besides getting an ap- propriation for the building he should be able to get an additional appropriation for the site. The old postoffice building is very much crowded and as Birmingham is growing at a very rapid rate. the post office business will be distressingly con gested two or three years hence.
 "The supervising architect of the treas- ury department is always man of taste as well as practical ideas and he must see that a building covering only two- thirds of a block would have an inartistic appearance. On tue other hand, if the whole Fifth avenue front between Eigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets were used by the government the effect would be magnificent.

WHY BOTTLED MILK IS POPULAR

In an article entitled The Popular Mllkman" in the current issue of Farm and Preside appears the following:
 wherever you will find the cleanest and most intelligent people, you will find the greatest demand for bottled milk A large amount of milk for direct consumption is still delivered in cans, but bottled milk is gaining favor for a number of reasons: First, the milk is cleaner and has better keeping quail ties than milk sold from cans which are frequently opened and exposed to the dust of the roads. Second, the customer is more likely to receive milk of uniform richness and quality than if poured from a can. the contents of which are seldom thoroughly stirred Third, bottle of milk is a convenient and handy package both in the kitchen and in the method of delivery It saves time for the method of delivery. It saves time for the milkman. Fourth, the housewife likes to see the cream line on the milk. This fact alone is largely responsible for the popularity of bottled milk"
