Good Times Ahead

The northern coal operators and miners should be able to adjust their differences and avert strike. Miners strikes always mean lawlessness and bloodshed, and therefore should be avoided if possible If strike is de- clared on the first of April the proba bility is that it will not be of long duration. A strike means suffering among the strikers and heavy loss of money to the operators.
 The leading papers of the east are advising both sides to the controversy in the coal regions to get together. Public sentiment in the sections most affected are strongly in favor of com promises. While the outlook may not be cheering just now it is reasonable to suppose that the miners in both the bituminous and anthracite fields will be at work by the first of May, even if there be strike m April.
 Amicable relations again established between the northern mine work CTS and the operators will have a wholesome effect on business condi- lions. Then the only other factor playing a part in the business situa ton will be the crop outlook. Reports from the northern and western crop at this time are most satisfactory. With a prospect for great harvest this summer, and with labor troubles strengthened out prosperity will be in stronger evidence than it has been since 1907. Presidential politics will ux,t count adversely as it has done in

County Convicts and Public Roads

It is as plain as the nose on a mans face that the convicts of Jefferson county cannot readily be placed on the roads of the county while the fee sys- tenn retains it's vigor and aggressive ness. This system induced the legis- lature of 1907 to pass law making it the duty of the attorney general to draw up all contracts for the leasing of county convicts, and these contracts contain a clause which requires the corporations hiring such convicts to pay in advance "all costs of convic- tion." The fee grabber is ever first and foremost when new legislation is attempted and new contracts are to be prepare. Those who think that this branch of the business is not carefully looked after by the fee brigade surely has another guess coming to him.
 The present convict contracts expire on December 31, and in November next it is believed Jefferson county will be lifted out of the constitutional net so far as fees are concerned. But legislation must follow and no action can be had until January, 1915, un- less an extra session of the legislature be called. This is at,least problemati- cal. The new Board of Revenue can, however, put the county convicts at work on the public roads, and per haps this is the best policy pending the reform that will attend the disap- pearence of the fee system.

Chicago,s Co.Ed With a s25O Hat

The Rockefeller institution in Chi cago has expelled "a fair coed" be- cause she wore $250 hat, the gift of her fiance. This raises a great moral question. If girl may be expelled for wearing a $25O hat a girl who wears a S2500 hat would have no chance to matriculate at all.
 The question is thus brought home, is this American? No one ever heard of the expulsion of man because of the hat he wore, and coed should have equal rights and privileges, espe- cially one who has fiance who is ready to give her $250 hat.
 The issue is one that involves con stitutional rights and even the spirit of the times, and the young lady in question has brought suit for islander against Miss Marion Talbot, dean of the woman's department. Miss Tal- bot did not know that the fair co-ed's fiance had been duly divorced, and she has been called into court to answer for some remarks on her part touch ing the ethics of the case.

COMING OF MIR. UNDER WOOD From the Baltimore Sun.


 Representative oscar W. Underwood compliments Maryland by making his visit to Annapolis the virtual beginning Of his campaign for the democratic nomination for President. Governor Harmon at the democratic jubilee in Baltimore last year outlined his policies. Governor Wilson has made several able speeches in Balti- more, and his address before the legisa- ture has sustained the interest in his can didacy. Speaker Champ Clarks visits to Baltimore have kept up the enthusiasm of his supporters.
 This is the first opportunity we have had to hear MT. Underwood. His course as chairman of the ways and means com mttee in guiding tariff legislation in Con- gross has aroused warm admiration. He has proved a wise leader, a man among men. Alabama will send a soUd delega- ton to the Baltimore convention for him, but he long ago rose above the class of ''favoiite sons" The sentiment for the nomination of some good southern man is an Underwood asset but he does not depend upon that. Many conservative democrats in other states look upon Un- derwood as able, levelheaded, courageous -a strong man, eminently fitted for Pres ident.

WHY SHE LOST HER FIGURE

Labcuchere in Truth of March 8, 1871.
 At dinner party lately given in Paris one lady was remarked above all others for the elegance of her figure and the per- lection of her toilet. During the mauvais quari d'heure before dinner she was sur rounded by a host of admirers, and one less bashful than the rest ventured to offer her the flower from his buttonhole. It was accepted, but as the princess robe worn by the graceful creature was laced behind, it was. necessary to fasten the flower to the front of her dress with a formed, and the fair lady was led into dinner by the donor of the flower. They were hardly seated when he heard a cu-' rious sound like the gentle signing of the wind. and on turning toward his partner he saw with horror that the lovely figure was getting small by degrees and beau tifully less" The rounded form had dis appeared before the soup was over, and long before the first entree the once creaseless garment hung in great folds about the scraggy framework! It seems that the newest dresses for slight ladies are made with air tight Things and in flated, when on, till the required degree of embonpont Is attained.

ROMANCE OF SENATOR CORE

Affairs at Washington" Joe Mitchell
 Chapple, in National Magazine for
 March
 Although his wife supplies the place of eyes to Senator Gore, the blind orator of Oklahoma" she laughingly disclaims all merit. why" she says naively, "he waits on men and does innumerable little things which many nen neglect. People asked me when we were married if I was not very sorry for him. Such thing as pity never entered my thoughts. We mes first at a picnic, which was partly po- litical. l heard him speak and he fair ly wiped up the earth with his oppo- nent l was girl of IS and was Just carried away with admiration for his splendid intellect but l never dreamed of his being my future husband
 On the evening of that eventful day, Gore wrote to his mother, 'I have met the girl that is going to be my future wife if 1 can win her" And his mother never doubted that he would do so. Four years later the wedding took place; and 1t has often been remarked that no happier family exists than that of the Cores.

Father of the House

The death of Gen. Henry H. Bing- ham does not attract general atten- ton, and yet few men had a more winning personality, and few have re- mained in office throughout long lifetime. The Philadelphia newspa- pers praise him, but the remainder of a busy country scarcely know that a man is dead who had sat in the House of Representative at Washington ever since 1879, serving oftentimes on important committees, and becoming chairman of not few, taking an ac- tive part in great public questions, al ways creditably and to the satisfaction of his constituents.
 He left college in 1862 during the civil war to become an officer of the army. At the end of the war he was appointed postmaster of Philadelphia and he held that place until he was elected clerk of a court. This place he held until 1879, when he was elect cd to Congress- He died member of Congress. There were no gaps in his official service of 50 years.
 Even the people of Philadelphia do not claim that he was a great man. He was likeble man who made few or no enemies. Philadelphia mourns his death. The people in that city were charmed by his winning manner, and his optimism and even by his fervid eloquence, for he was really an orator of high order

 some former campaigns. Both repub- licans and democrats will avoid popu- listie tendencies. Both conventions will be conservative; at least that Is the expectation. Wall street, which has keen intuition, is already discount ing political conservatism, and is now hesitating only over the mining situa- tion and the crop reports.
 Birmingham is going ahead rapidly. Every day brings out new building projects. In the matter of building, this city will see new high record this year. Prosperity in the United States was at high water mark in the summer of 1907. But if all goes well in the summer ofs1912 will surpass that of five years ago4 z Bir- will certainly make phenom- enal strides.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
New Fnees in Birmingham

This city is growing at faster rate than ever before." said W. J. Dangaix "Eyidences of the fact multiply. Last Saturday night I was sitting in box at the Bijou. The house was filled from bottom to top. The play had been running all Of the week and the night was decided ly incement and yet an audience of 200 or more had assembled. I used to have a very wide acquaintance. I was familiar with the faces of most of the people here But on this occasion, in looking over the audience, l recognized only two personsA This indicated to me very clearly that Birmingham was filling up with new peo- pie.
 Another evidence of growth is the de- mand for store space. The sstores which 1 an, building on Fourth avenue are all spoken for. When those buildings are completed no For Rent sign will be found on single one of them. Every day or two I hear of some large new building that is to be erected. Talk about build ing booms, one has certainly struck this town"

REApER or eoao NOVELS

From the New York World.
 It. was the distinction of the late Mi- nerva A. Saunders of Pawtusket K. l., that during her 94 years service as public librarian she read more than 5000 novels. If gratitude is not extinct. WILL not the publishing trade erect a fitting memorial to this patient devotee of the cult of the -'best seller"2
 What a storehouse of plot and in- trigue her mind must have been--what a gallery of fictional portraits of gem tlemen of France ladies of quality women who dared. Puritan maids, of heroes and heroines of every possi- ble kind and character, from "Ouida" guardsman to q child of the tenements! 1! She must have been familiar with every possible problem" with every phase of triangular domestic relationship, with every conceivable "situation," both those that possess the "tensenessn that grips and those that fail to come up 10 the publishers prospectus. And her brain cells were tingeu with every inn aginable hue of local color" from the Sahara to the Chicago stock yards

 like 800 900 of them, on the basis 0, an average of S0,Q00 to a novel In that length of time and with a like applica- tton of industry she might have read the "Hundred Best Books several times ever, the "pigsl<in library" and pr. Eliots five foot shelf Included. But would they have supplied the ''thrill' of the 5000 rQmanees, the emotional scenes, stz .ofs wasted. If Shakespeare's play gave Garrick his knowledge of English his- tcry, surely a perusal of 5000 works of fiction ought to provide a liberal education-of it's kind.
 Certainly a tribute may be spared to the conscientious devotion to duty of woman librarian who did this amount of reading as part of her days work. Many brave things are done fin the line of duty"

Rapid Loading Facilitie.

Having solved the problem of quick, convenient transportation of freight by the use of motor trucks, many comnier- cial vehicle owners are now turning theif attention to the matter of more rapid loading facilities said local automobile man.
 "The most effective device yet perfected for this purpose is the power driven winch On horse trucks a winch Is not of much assistance, as the operation by hand is too slow and any arrangement using horse power is sol clumsy as to be lntolerabe except in few special in- stances With the motor truck, however, the winch can be made of invaluable as- sistances in the loading of heavy freight on account of its ease of manipulation and the fact that it drives it's power direct frorn the same motor which propels the vehicle. |
 .'rhe various automobile companies re- cognize the value of the power winch for general trucking purposes and developed q very simple. but effective form which has been in successful use by many truck ing concerns for several years. The wiaci is located at the rear end of the frame and is put into operation by the simple moving of gear into mesh with cor responding gear on the main propeller

The Democratic Outlook

The year 1910 was a democratic year, and democratic House of Rep Iresentatives was elected by a large majority. It was the first democratic victory since 1892, and it presaged a still greater victory in 1912
 There is feeling abroad in the land that this will be democracy's ban her year. The partisans of MT. Roose-, welt used as their main argument in inducing the ex-President to become candidate for the republican nomina- ton that President Taft could not be elected. Roosevelt, it seems, had thought that this was a democratic year no matter who might be the re- publican nominee. Ambition, how ever, got the better of him and his flatterers made him think that he and he alone could save his party.
 There are many evidences that the people are tired of republican policies and republican administration. Presi- dent Taft will head the republican ticket and unless the democrats split up again he will be as badly beaten as Harrison was at the end of his first term. But the democrats must take no chances. They must not weaken the party by over confidence. The tariff will be the chief issue, and Oscar Underwood is the democrat above all others to lead the party on great tariff reform platform.
 Other aspirants for the democratic presidential nomination are capable of discussing the tariff intelligently; but not one of them could speak with such authority as the distinguished chairman of the ways and means com mittee. He is absolutely master of all tariff problems and not only that, but
  he has the best all round equipment for the presidential office of any statesman that this country has pro duced in many a day. Underwood's nomination at Baltimore will not only assure victory, but it will inspire such confidence from one end of the coun- try to the other as to make "assur- ance doubly sure"
 The south is rallying to Under wood. It should be practically solid for him. A southern statesman elected to succeed Taft would restore the anti bellum prestige of this great section. The material advantage that the south would reap would be simply in calculable. But putting the matter on the high plane of principle the en- tire nation would be immeasureably benefited with man of the Under wood type seated in the executive rl aif
