Taft's Political Strength

T am a democrat, but I look on the republican situation with interest, and my judgment is that Taft will be renom- mated" said A. L. Northrup of New York,
 aEx-President Roosevelt has host of personal friends in my section of the country, and he seems to be politically strong in the west but I do not believe those who are working for his nomina- tion this year will succeed. The prejudice against third termer will hurt to some extent, but the business interests of the country don't bother so much about the third term prejudice as they do about the mans cratic personality
 Taft will have the support of an army of offieeholders, and many others be- sides. He may not have made the best of presidents, but everyone knows he Is just man and has done what he could to give the country a good adminstra- ton from a republican point of view.
 As 10 what the democrats will do I am rot seel enough to say. A few months ago Harmon seemed to be the favorite in New York. Now hear a great deal of Underwood talk. l have never been active in politics, and can only be count cd on as q voter. Underwood or any other good democrat nominated in Baltimore will get my ballot"

Frozen Water Pipes

There may be no relationship be- tween the recent cole snaps and the refusal of the Birmingham Waterworks company to pay a small matter of S1S,- 900 taxes said renter, "but the idea struck me one morning when the pipes at my house were frozen that the company might start an educational campaign among contractors here for the better construction of houses and the laying of water pipes. There should be campaign of some kind to the end that the users of water would not be compelled to open their spigots during cold weather for protection and let the water run until the weather mod crates. s
 "If the water thus wasted could b. conserved it would mean much to tn, company.

Against the officcbo,der.

The republican party is now on a frmer basis" stated State Senator J. B. Sloan of Blount county yesterday than it has been in many years. In my opinion the reason is due to the fact that the federal officeholders have lost their cunning. The party is fast emerging from out the pale of their domination.
 In the last. session of the legisla- ture l secured the passage of a bill which provides that no officeholder oi the state shall serve on political com mittees. My obvious object was to gain for the republican party the opportunity much to be desired of being able to act intelligently for itself and in accordance with the dictates of it's own conscience l am glad to know that the day of Of ficsholders' domination has seen it's sun in the depths of the west"

Selection of Cabinet Officers

Andrew Carnegie, while on the stand as a witness before the Steel investigation committee, incidentally stated that it was he who had Phi lander Knox made Attorney General in the Mckinley cabinet. Knox had become rich serving corporations in Pittsburg, and he was willing to go to Washington, and he has been there ever since.
 No one is surprised by MT. Car iiegie's confession. It was but an incident in his testimony. As an in cident it makes plain the fact that magnates name cabinet officers rath- CT oftener perhaps than the plain people do. Some such influence no doubt led up to the appointment of MT. Wickersham, who is another Phi lander c. Knox.
 Secret influences are perhaps al most unavoidable in Washington and the testimony of Andrew Carnegie simply throws a little light on hid den spot. Those who think that the magnates have no voice in selecting cabinet officers or United States sen ators simply do not know what is go- ing on under cover.
 The country is fully ready for a change to an administration that will not let trust magnates unload on the people Philander Knoxes. When Os- car Underwood becomes President that kind of work will be rounded up and ended. No tariff beneficiary can dictate to him tariff rates, and nc trust magnate will be able to name cabinet officers in the Underwood cabinet.

Wilson and the Two-thirds Rule

Let us hope the report that Wood row Wilson and his friends will at tempt to abolish the two-thirds rule of democratic conventions will not be verified. The rule was adopted in 1882, before any of the aspirants of the present year were born, and it has uniformly been productive of good results. It has prevented states that no democrat could carry-states like Pennsylvania or Vermont-from dictating the nomination. As a rule the candidate that has the lead at the start has secured the nomination. This, however, has not always been the case.
 Let the friends of Mr. Wilson and of all the other candidates trust to the good sense of the convention. It will find man who can poll two thirds of the delegates, and that man will be the right one to carry the standard in an arduous campaign.
 If the two leading candidates call each other names, flying in every possible manner at each others throat, it would be far better to nom- mate a compromise candidate who could secure the support of both leaders. The two-thirds rule operates in other words at times to prevent a loss in democratic votes at the end of hot preliminary campaign. Every democrat should support his favorite, but at the end man is wanted who can poll all democratic votes. The two-thirds rule is pretty sure to lead to the nomination of such man.
 There is nothing sacrosanct about the two-thirds rule. The convention that is to meet in Baltimore will be free to reject or adopt it, but taking all things in consideration it.is hoped the convention will retain the rule that has stood three-quarters of a gentry with increasing prestige.

oates Disease Fighter

Dr. w. II. Oates. jail and mill inspec- tor, who is in Birmingham today" said a politician last evening, lis doing one ol the greatest works in the history of the state. He is making the prisons of every county sanitary.
 'An inspection of the men confined in the prisons of the state by the members of the pardon board, just prior to the Christmas holidays. brought out the fact that the great majority of convicts who are sufferers of tuberculosis contracted the disease while awaiting trials. At the doors of the county jails, therefore, a serious charge is laid.
 'Dr. Oates has condemned every jail ir the state the conditions of which cannot be made sanitary, and as a result of his efforts tuberculosis in the convict camps will, l predict, fast disappear"

 made acquaintance with flock or beach birds. These little citizens of the sea and air preceded me by about stones throw along the strand, seeking, suppose, for food upon It's margin Yet, with philosophy which mankind would do well to initiate. they drew a continual nleasure from their toll for subsis- tence. The sea was each little bird S great playmate They chased it down. ward as it swept back, and again ran up swiftly before the impending wave. which sometimes overlook them and bore them off their feet
 But they fioated as lightly as one of their own feathers on the breaking crest. Tn their airy futterings they seemed to rest on the evanescent spray. Their i'm ages-long legged little figures, with gray hacks and snowy bosoms-were seen as distinctly as the realities in the mirror of the glistening strand. As I advanced they flew score or two of yards, and, again alighting, recommended their dail- liance with the surf wave and thus they bore me company along the beach, the types of pleasant fantasies, till, at it's ex- tremity, they took wing over the ocean and were gone.

A st. Iouiss Visitor

Tt has been six years since my last visit to Birmingham said Edwin schiele president of the Edwin schiele Disdlling company Of St. Louis.
 This city has made remarkable strides. When I was first here there was only one skyseraper. Now I find many tall buildings of the modern type, and others in course of construction. These towering buildings, in changing the sky line, may not conduce to esthetics, but they give the best evidence of city's growth and prosperity. Birmingham seems now to he quite an mp to date city.

MRS. MORSE

From the Cincinnati Times Star.
 It is odd that in all this hullaballoo about Charles " Morse and his health, and his chances of pardon from tho Atlanta penitentiary, so little attention has been paid to his wife. And yet remarkable a character as was Morse in his days of power on Wall street. Mrs. Morse overtops hima in ability. Morse had an abundanceN of cunning. He could frame an ice trust, for ex-
 ample. or a shipping company. He could-and did-squeeze out the small stockholders He was remorseless in his grip and merciless in exacting the last ounce of flesh. No one ever pre- tended to like Morse, though all re- garded his ability most highlyi He was commonly known as an ice-blood- ed vindictive, foresighted sehemer. And yet much of that has been for gotten, thanks to the persistent work Mrs Morse has done in his behalf. No one now remembers the Dodge-Morse divorce suit, in which MT Morse won the right to make Mrs. Dodge his wife. or the manner in which the fame of the courts was dragged in the dust, of the aftermath of wreckage and dis grace and ruin that followed it. The public only sees in Mrs. Morse the de- voted wife. striving to gain her hus- band freedom-and fails to realize the propaganda she has organized Is per haps the most effective of it's sort ever maintained in this country. She has a press bureau of her own, and she manages that press bureau as a man aging editor would his paper She has pulled thousand unseen strings of influence, so that puppets dance to her
 in New York and Washington and At lanta. She has won editors away from their convictions, so that Morse has been treated almost with kindness by the New York press. She has coaxed
 tears and laughter from those who could help her-and if Charles w. Morse Is ever released from the Atlanta prison, 1t is because he has wife who
 overtops him at every measure. New York fears and hates Morse; but a chivalric public takes off it's hat to his wife

The Bernsteins

"The Bernstein trio, which will give a concert at the Jefferson theatre Sun day afternoon, January 21, is composed or Eugene Bernstein, piano; Michel Bernstein, violin, and Arthur Bernstein, cello, and these artists in ensemble er- joy a reputation second to none," sad Oliver Chalifoux
 Every music lover who hears the Bernsteins will have great treat. An objection to many concert programmes is the length. But it will not be so with this distinguished trio. I have seen u copy of their Birmingham programme, and it will prove exceptionally attrac- tive both to those who are thoroughly educated in music and to the large num- Der that make up concert audiences amateurs and music lovers in general"

WHY NEWS MUST HE PRINTED

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 We have received protests from several readers against the amount of space de- voted by this newspaper to the case of one Hanish and his sun worship cult.
 We are aware of the objections to such publications. Nevertheless we hold a newspaper bound to tell the truth on this subject so far as it may be told with propriety.
 We hold that newspaper is bound to do
 so for several reasons, of which the fol lowing may suffice:
 It is duty of newspapers to give its
 readers useful information, and that in cludes information which may save and
 protect them from delusion, depravlty and
 misery.
 Unless the newspapers told the truth about these personal and secret cults many innocent people would be deceived about them just as they are deceived 1 by the political fallacies of socialism un- til they realize whither socialism leads. Unless so informed by the press, and 1 thus shown the abyss toward which they | were led by dirty fellows masquerading as religious prophets, hundreds and thou sans of innocent persons would believe
 themselves approaching the seventh
 heaven, whereas, in fact, they would be
 plunging into the depths of immortality
 and shame.
 That is why we tell as far as 1t can be
 told in newspaper of general circula-
 ton, the truth about Hanish and others of
 his kind It is duty to do so. It Is
 a duty no conscientious newspaper may | neglect.

TO PHONE ACROSS CONTINENT

From the New York Press
 Telephoning across the continent will be possible In year. if the hopes of Theodore N. Vail president of the Amer
 can Telephone and Telegraph company, are realized He has just returned from trip to the Pacific coast, and he said yesterday he found the people in the far west less pessimistic regarding the out look for business in general than was supposed in the east
 q am particularly pleased with the promise of my chief engineer" said Vail, ito give me talk over the long distance telephone from New York to San Fran cisco and Portland in the coming year. The service will be made to cover all Pa cifc coast cities, with a through line from Seattle to San Diego, distance of 1900 miles. Our engineering force has been working hard on establishing this New York-Pacific coast service, and they are fast overcoming all difficulties.
 When asked about the realignment plans of the American Telephone and Tel egraph company in regard to its sub sidiary operating companies, Vail an- swered:
 q believe the time will come when there will be oLly one telephone system in the country. I do not know whose that will be, but I hope it will be ours We are in the field to stay. our company stands ready and willing at all times to consolidate, provided it can be done le- gally, and the public service commissions in the various localities acquiesce. cer- tainly favor control Of the telephones by public service commissions.
