Congress and the Presidency

A democratic House with 66 ma iority and Senate that will become democratic if four states are gained by that party in November, leads to a feeling of alarm in the breast, so to speak, of the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. This alarm is, however, un- called for, because the presidency is going democratic also. There is real ly no chance for the election of re- publican President. One has but to read the reports of speeches made in Ohio this week to see that fact written all over the wall.
 In the history of American presi- dential contests now well extended into the second century only two Pres idents have at the outset been con- fronted by opposition houses. Zach- ary Taylor encountered in 1S49 a dem- ocratic House, and Hayes had a dem- ocratic House on his hands in 1881. And occasionally the Senate and the presidency have not agreed.
 The rule long has been that the success of the opposition party in the middle of Presidents term means the choice of an opposition successor, and history is this year about to re- peat itself. There will be an opposi- tion successor and he will have the support of both friendly House and a friendly Senate.

uNsc.LABLE ROCKS OF BRITAIN

From "Our Adventures in the BlacK
 Coolin," in the May Wide World Mag
 azine.
 Travellers in Montenegro are propapy familiar with the native saying that .When God made the world He held in His hand a saclkful of mountains, and whilst above Montenegro the sack burst; hence the fearful chaos there.' The same idea sems curiously applicable to the Isle of Skye. away up off the northwest coast of s'stern Caledon' We may say that the sack burst over the southwest corner of the sisiand, which elsewhere is com paratively flat, and thus formed the Black Coolin, the most fantastic and wonderfully shaped mountains in Britain More pro- saic mortals would agree that these spiry peaks and shattered ridges are the result of a terrible volcanic cataclysm, and gen erations of wild Atlantic gales have carved out their wonderful outlines. The softer rocks have almost disappeared; vegeta- tjon clings snarsely to the lower slopes and disapnears above the 1000 foot level, wi re great bare slabs uphold towering, ne 0 like S, mmits that bear vivid re- SefnDlance u ltlt SldptItSl ol thc SitdtSi Alps. True . + that there are no glaciers, II , this is, merely a fault of the age in
 which we i've. a. However. the Cooin afforded far away the finest rock climbing in Britain. Prac- tically none of them can be scaled with out using both hands and feet some are almost inaccessible, whilst on the Quiraing there are actually virgin summits that defy the most unsuitable experts. The main massif is set in curiously horseshoe shaped length of lofty ridge nearly 13 miles long. From this gigantic backbone
 the main peaks spring with more or less regular frequency. In the high northerly latitude their crests are but little below
 the region of everlasting snow. The summits rise. for the most part, over 5000 feet above the sea, which. now serene and calm, laps their feet peacefully or
 anon storm swept and savage. is flung up even into the sanctuary of savage heights.

Confederate Veterans at Gettysburt

Confederate Veterans at Gettysburg
 The Pennsylvania papers antici- pate the largest meeting of the Blue and the Gray at Gettysburg in July of next year ever held. Vast numbers of veterans are expected. More than a million men enlisted not over IS years of age, while the average age in the Union army was only 22. Many survivors are therefore under 70 years of age today, and many of these will go to Gettysburg.
 It it said that no division command CT on either side is alive. The great captains on both sides are dead, but a large number of actual combatants still live and will be present in July of next year.
 "The Confederates," says the Phil adelphia Inquirer, Twill be welcomed | in a manner which will show to the world exclusively that it is possible for republic to go through the throes of civil war and to engage in death Qrapple for four years and to emerge triumphant and stronger than ever. Those who think that the present political unrest in this country is crit ical should remember that the coun- try is stronger than all the pessimists put togteher a thousand time over"

Coast to- Coast Holdup at Panama

In perhaps 15 months vessels will pass through the Panama canal from ocean to ocean, and yet Congress does nothing toward determining the rates of toll and other conditions of traffic o! the canal.
 The plain truth of the matter is, nothing can be done because the trans continental railroads are holding up the legislation needed for the opera tion of the canal. These railroads are doing this because they have secretly vetoed the provision prohibiting rail- read controlled ships to use the canal The Adamson amendment makes it unlawful for any railroad company or other common carrier ito own, lease, operate, control or have any interest whatsoever (by stock ownership or otherwise, either directly, indirectly through any holding company, or in any other manner) in any common carrier by water with which said rail- road or other carrier aforesaid does or may compete in traffic/
 Unless we are willing to let the trans-continental railroads dominate and control the situation at Panama

TX EUNICH-The condition of King Ot- MI to of Bavaria, who has been re- WI ferred to as a crazy monarch, is worse. His physicians are afraid of new complications.
 The King formerly was very excitapie, but he is now absolutely silent. He hard Iy moves about. He regards himself as perfectly sane, but the doctors and at tendants believe him crazier than ever.
 He refuses to take any nourishment and it is feared that his condition may take disastrous turn any day.
 Since 1886 the throne of Bavaria has be- longed to King Otto, but he never has known he was King, for 10 years before then he became insane. Instead of his ruling his people he has needed constant care and supervision
 He never has been King except in name, for while the date of his nominal access sion is put at June 1s, 1886, three days earlier his uncle, Prince Leopold, had had the task of government confirmed to him. Without lucid interval so far as is publicly known, he has been subject to the care and restrictions usual in the case of the insane Sometimes his malady has taken the form of acute melancholy, at others of violence. or again the widest delusions. Nearly all these years his asylum has been the stately castle of Furstenried, and here he has passed his days and nights unconscious of all that has transpired in the world; his mind a blank.
 The genius of tragedy seems, indeed,
 % have chosen this house of Wittelsbach
 as favorite haunting place wherein to evolve scenes and incidents illustrative of it's sad characteristics, terror and pity If, like the fabled house of Aureus, the taint of blood has not rested upon the Iintel, insanity has blighted the lives Of its offspring and the hearts of It's mem bers have been grievously wrung by bangs

ohio's Oratorical Cyclone

The statewide presidential prefer ence primaries of Ohio are to be held one week from today, and Tn the meantime orators with high aspira- lions will ransack the state from end to end. The President is scheduled to speak 63 times, and it is safe to say the colonel will double that number Besides these two warning combat ants speeches will be delivered by Sen ator LaFollette, Governor Harmon, William Jennings Bryan and many lesser lights.
 The Cleveland Plain Dealer, a. dem ocratic paper, seems to anticipate defeat for MT. Taft in his own state, which would put him out of the run ming. "In this event." adds the Plaln Dealer, f"Justice Hughes could With entire propriety permit himself to be offered by his friends as candidate who might unite the severed factions of the party. He would enter the race as the legatee of MT. Taft, yet he would be less objectionable than the President to the anti-administration forces"
 pn tho other side of the house Gov ernon Harmon has by no means a walkover. He is bitterly opposed by ,he Cincinnati Enquirer. The Enquir- CT demands the selection of delegates representing the progressive senti- ments of the state, but exactly which candidate it favors does not appear on the surface of it's broad pages.

Spring Sunshine

This has been a spring of much raln' and the season as a whole has been bad for the farmer" said a merchant, who also farms on a large scale. We have had so little sunshine that when two or three bright days come together everybody seems huoyant.
 Business in Birmingham has been won- derfully brisk during the past few weeks in spite of depressing weather conditions. But notwithstanding the backward farm work in this part of the country some corn and cotton will be raised The price of cotton will be high. so that the farmer who raises few bales will make as much money as he ma9e last year on his many bales.
 "The industrial situation in the Birming- ham district is far more satisfactory than it was this time last year. In fact .busi- ness conditions here are better than they have been in many years. The activity in the coal trade has offset the dullness in the iron market. And recently the iron market has become strong at a price higher by si a ton than 1t was six months ago. The steel trade is very active and the volume of business on the order books of steel makers is making a new high rec ord.
 ''The outlook for summer trade is very bright indede. The two national conven- tions meet in June. and after their ad- iournment capital will be disposed to seek large investments in all sections of the country, particularly in the south. It is safe prediction that the railroads will do more construction work this year than in any period since 1907."

His First Visit to Birmingham

"On my way from Galveston to North Carolina I stopped over in Birmingham a day to see this much talked of city, and I have been more than pleased with all have seen,p said Robert c. John son. Galveston editor
 q expected to find here large ,thriv- ing city, but Birmingham has far sur passed my expectations. It is simply marvel to me, when I remember the com parative youth of this city. It is beauti- fully laid and is splendidly built up.
 q am southerner by birth and rear ing and am proud therefore of every southern city that shows the progressive spirit. Our city of Galveston is now mak- ing grand record. With the completion of the great concrete causeway Calves ton starts on a new era of prosperity Our population has grown rapidly since the census was taken, and by 1920 it will be up in the 100000 class. As for Birming- ham. its possibilities seem limitless.'

presidency would be so brazen faced. or be such a bungler as to take the method of making political friends or supporters of Catholics which Taft's enemies insin- uated. No matter what else might be said about President Taft, he has always conducted himself with the utmost pro priety in his treatment of all religious bceies. But If he had mind to strain a point he certainly would not have writ ter to the Pope about political matters, but rather would he have conferred with some of the American prelates. Presi- dent Tafts letter to Major Butt was sim ply formal note of introduction given at Major Butts request"

MARK OF coop MANNERS

From Charles Lambs Essays of Ella"
 In comparing modern with ancient man. ners, we are pleased to compliment our selves upon the point of gallantry; certain obsequiousness. or deferential re- women. as women. l shall believe that this principle actuates our conduct when can forget that in the nineteenth cen- tury of the era from which we date our civility we are just beginning to leave off the very frequent practice of whipping women In public in common with the coarsest male offenders. I shall believe it when Dorimont hands a fish wife across the kennel, or assists the apple woman to pick up her wandering fruit which some unlucky dray has just dissipated. Until that day comes I shall never believe this boasted point to be anything more than a conventional fiction; pageant got up between the sexes, in a certain rank, and at a certain time of life, in which both find their account equally.
 shall be even disposed to rank it among the salutary fictions of life, when in polite circles l shall see the same at tentions paid to age as to youth, to home lys features as to handsome, to coarse complexions as to clear-to the woman, as she is a woman, not as she is a beauty, fortune or a title. I shall believe it to be something more than name when a
 well dressed gentleman, in we'll dressed company, can advert to the topic of fe- male old age without exciting and intend- ing to excite a sheer; when the phrase anticipated virginity," and such one has ''overstood her market pronounced in good company, shall raise immediate onense in man or woman that shall hear them spoken. :

MAD KINGS END NEAR

scarcely less poignants than those caused by violence and crime.
 Otto Wilhelm Luitpold is the son of King Maximilian II and Princess Marie of Prus1 sia. He was born at Munich April 27 1S4S, and has been insane more than hall his life. He nominally Succeeded to thu throne June 10, 1866, when his brother King Ludwig II. committed suicide h1 drowning himself in the beautiful lake o tie, three days after his deposition upo1 the score of insanity.
 Otto was not born insane. The tain which, it may be conceded, was in hi] blood. was made virulent and active b] the circumstances of his life. Thus, whil| his brother Ludwig, with brilliant imag nation and a true instinct for art, sough| comfort in music, poetry and beautiful architectural creations. even when mad ness had laid it's dark hand upon hiI mind, Otto, of a grosser nature. and witt more unworthy tastes, had become lo#el than the beasts. and was building house| of mud.
 The royal brothers were trained in
  school in which the church had a strond hand. The regimen of their lives mighI have served as the model for youths del voted to a sacred calling. Their royaI mother, in her attempts to implant thl love of simplicity in their minds, denied them luxuries wfach no lad of plebeial blood even would surrender without vigofI ous and prolonged protest The princel were not even taught to ride, and Kim Ludwig never mounted horse until sumI moned suddenly to the throne in 1864. The life of exotic plants was in fact th| life that the fated brothers led. and when at a critical period of their youth, thl breath of actual practical existence wal waited in upon them, that which woulI have been revivifying and an elixir of enl ergy to healthy minds was fatal to them.

From the Chinese Annual.

From the Chinese Annual.
 NERHAPs there is no greater differ D ence existing between the Chinese ! and the American people than that batYeen their ideas of love. In fact, we Chinese do not believe in love- TOT we are not siclxly. sentimental creatures put cold. philosophical fatalistic beings. we arrange our matrimonial affairs through hard reasoning and not through the ten der passion.
 Tn us marriage is a serious business of the head, and not light affair of the heart. in these matrimonial transactions we apply the most rigid, keen, calculating business principles, and that's why we are so successful in the marriage enter prise.
 We never pay homage at the altar or Cupid, stupid, brainless yellow kid' the disturber of peace. the breaker Of hearts' the destroyer of homes and the promoter of affinity stock companies we cahio' tolerate his presence in chiha' aS S''''' is not land of love.
 Consequently the cool, quiet hours U, our midsummer nights are~not distui oe'- or spofled by hot air from the wooiis and eooing of sentimental creatures
 We do not believe in love. for love is not inc greatest thing in the woria' U is simply the produce of an idie Draiii, tho outrrowth of drowsy mina. It IS t,constant and unsubstantial. for it's oaan- ts.attve and assalitative character changes with the change of scenery and environ nent and it's drawing and binding power ,ncraases or decreases as the square Of ,be distance between subject and object increases or decreases.
 Love is the antithesis of reason for man sees with reason and only feels with ,ove and it is the most violent form os hrainstorrn. Love is a symptom of a disordered brain, as a nightmare is a svmptom of a disordered stomach. It is a deadly contagious disease, for 1t turns the strongest head. and makes the wisest man a fool. Indeed, there is no fool like an old fool who is affected with amoritis.
 When a man has contracted this love disease and is under it's influence he acts in the most idiotic manner and performs all sorts of antics. all of which he en- tirely renounces and repudiates when he is free from it's hypnotic spell I But. alas, the world is changin and China is changing with it: the oldUtime proved ideas are fast giving way to the new. and our young people are being con verted to the worship of the blind god.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Appreciation of Underwood

T have just received a letter from pr. Arnold Masberg of Birmingham, who has been away on trip for two or three weeks visiting New Orleans, New York and Chicago" said a well known citizen.
 He writes from Chicago under date of May II. Although his letter was not intended for publication, l take the liberty of making a few extracts which will be of general interest here.
 " T have met many men of high standing in the business world and naturally would speak of my southern home,' writes Dr. Masberg. When Birr mingham is mentioned the conversation Is at once switched to Oscar Under wood as a presidential possibility. Be- lieve me when I say. and express my self conservaHvely, that these men speak of him as a grand character They say he would make q powerful race in the east. This was the sent< ment in New York. I find this same sentiment here in Chicago. The men meet are not politicians. They are just sturdy, clean business men; some of them of great prominence. What impressed me was their sincere appre- ciation of Underwood's high standing as man and a leader; especially was this appreciation in evidence when the subject of the tariff was considered, NO man in the democratic party today has won the esteem and honor of the people so thoroughly as has Oscar Underwood. This is my opinion based on careful study of the situation. If we or the south only had the money to put be- fore the east and west Underwood's matchless character he would carry the Baltimore convention by storm

the Adamson or some similar amend ment must be adopted, and yet Con- gress sits idly by and lets the trans continental railroads work their will. Inaction by Congress is all the rail- roads desire, and then they will pro- ceed to control traffic passing through the canal-that is to say, the traffic passing from one side of the country to the other.
 The situation is amazing and dis dressing, and yet Congress goes right along toward the end of the session without lifting it's handl

A CLEAN RECORD

From the New York World.
 The one issue on which democratic House was elected in 1910 was the high cost of living and the downward re- vision of the tariff. Chairman Under wood of the committee on ways and means is fully '5ustified in claiming credit for his party, as he does else where in the columns of the Sunday World, for having fulfilled it's pledges so far as lay in it's power.
 The tariff bills passed during the ex- tra session of Congress last year came to naught through the vetoes of MT. Taft During the present session the House has passed the wool bill, the sugar bill, the metals bill and the chemical bill. and not one of them has yet been favorably acted upon in the Senate or even brought to vote. The failure of tariff revision since the 1910 elections does not rest with the dem ocratic House. The responsibility for failure belongs to the Senate and the President, both republican.
 Never at any time has the democratic party been more united on the tariff issue than 1t is today. It. has been true to its promises and to~the needs and demands of the country No other issue of the day is of greater interest and importance to the people than low CT taxes on the necessaries of life at period when prices are excessive and artifcially stimulated by the system of high protection. The tariff is still in politics, in spite of the optimistic plans of MT. Taft and because of his veto policy, and in the coming election, on their record in the House. the demo- crats have all the advantage of posi- ton.
