CURFEW ON BROADWAY

New York Telegram to the Kansas City
 Star
 w. w. Farley, state excise commis- sioner, has made good his promise and started to extinguish, through due pro cess of law, the twinkling lights of joy that keep New Workers out of bed after the last car has ceased to run.
 Round proprietors and cafe owners made hurried trips to various politicians and even to the excise office in the Metro politan building and with hearts bowed down swore hereafter and forever to put the last cork in the bottle five minutes before l o'clock. Thirty excise viola tions were placed on the supreme court calendar by the excise department through its counsel. Motions were made to have the defendants liquor tax certifi- cates revoked. Four were heard and in each Justice Delaney granted the motion.
 Besides the cases that are already called for trial. the commissioner has more than 100 others. and it is those that worry the hosts along Broadway Most of them , have been warned by Farley that no wine , was to be gazed upon after 1 o'clock, and that the giddy whirling cabarets must be silenced at that hour.

DEEP LAND DIVING

From The Survey.
 'The most hazardous occupation known to man." says a recent bulletin issued by the bureau of mines, lis that of lfesaver in the bureau" Continuing, the bulle- tins statements are substantially as fol- lows:
 It is popularly supposed that deep sea diving has the highest mortality rate among all the dangerous callings, but 1t is not to be compared with rescue work. In the first year of this service two out of the 24 experienced miners employed by he bureau in this desperate work have given their lives while attempting to save others. Seven others have fallen un- conscious and have been rescued only after the most heroic efforts.
 The mortality rate among bureau of mines rescuers is on this basis 80 in 1000 men.
 With such a fearful record before them, it might be thought that miners would hesitate about engaging in such a busi- ness, but this is not the case. Miners are as brave a body of men as can De found in any industry, and those who have been trained in rescue work by the bureau of mines and have sought employ ment as lifesavers are imbued with the spirit that they are engaged in great W ork, which promises to materially re- duce the death rate in American mines.
 That the lifesavers have made good beginning is shown in the records of the bureau of mines. In the period of one year 40 entombed miners have been res- cued directly through the efforts of the bureaus men, and perhaps as many more by individual miners who were trained in rescue work by the bureau of mines. Best of all, the federal rescuers have stopped the death roll among volunteer lifesavers at disasters. In the past 1t is said that roscuer has given up his life for every man saved. Forty volunteer rescuers were killed at Hanna, Wyo., two years ago, trying to save II entombed men. At the Cherry mine fire in Illinois F vol- unteers who went into the mines were brought up on the cage lifeess.
 Since the bureau of mines took up this great work but one volunteer resc CT in the last eight or 10 disasters has lot his , life

good citizenship" bearing picture of Theodore Roosevelt.
 To State Senator Tom Finn, who had been one of Abe Ruefs lieutenants, he turned over the waterfront patronage, with the result that the monthly payroll jumped from $3O,o0O to nearly s7oo00
 The entire strength of the Johnson organization has been directed toward the construction of state machine.
 Thus it can be seen why Governor Johnson has won the admiration of Roosevelt. Their methods are identi- cal. Once in power without regard ing pledges, or without respect for the peoples money they proceed to build up a powerful machine to per petuate that power. They both be- lieve in personal government, and with them both their greatest defence is abuse of the other fellow.
 Verify the so-called progressive ticket has little in the personnel of its candidates to commend 1t to thoughtful men, but much to offer the old time henchmen who believe that to the victor belongs the spells.

The Good Roads Meeting

The annual meeting ot the Ala hama Good Roads association, whlcn will take place in Birmingham dur ing the State Fair, should bring to- pether an exceptionally representa- tive body of Alabamians. When this association was organized several years ago it aroused considerable ln- terest. Material progress has been made in good roads building in this state within the past three years, but renewed efforts must now be put forth if we are to keep up with other states.
 Within the next 12 months Ala bama should make strides in good road construction, and in three years from now there should not be an un- macadamized highway in any part of the state. All the main roads should he as firm and smooth in winter as in summer. To make these high class roads costs money, but no greater economy could be devised than to have the roads made right regardless of first cost.
 The Alabama Good Roads associa- ton at it's October meeting will be addressed by several distinguished men. President W. w. Finley of the Southern railway will be one of the speakers, and he is particularly pleasing and convincing orator. There are indeed few better speakers in this country than MT. Finley. Governor Marshall of Indiana has been invited and will probably make an address before the Good Roads association. With interest worked up on this oc- casion great results may naturally be expected.

Hiram Johnson's Machine

Gov. Hiram w. Johnson of Califor- mia. who was Roosevelt's choice for running mate and who is supposed to typify the real progressive move ment as advocated by the third party, and who is stumping the eastern states in behalf of the ticket, points out the ills and prescribes the cures for the people: but from all accounts he is giving Californians a taste of real progress in his administration of affairs in that commonwealth.
 A special from San Francisco to the New York World says:
 The state of California today has the largest payroll in its history, and to this fact the bull moose party in this state owes its financial strength. Prac- tically every department of the state government is in control of the ma chine of Gov. Hiram W. Johnson. which has loaded the payrolls with superfu- ous help and then, it is asserted, has levied assessments on the salaries of employees.
 There is no law in the state that will reach this practice. The contributions gre voluntary" To prove this each oontributor is given certificate of

Cotton Growing in Africa

The next English budget contains . provision of s2,5o0,OOO to promote the growing of cotton in East Africa and Uganda, and Lancashire is re- ported to be pleased over the out look. A deep water dock is to be built in East Africa and a railroad bos been constructed to and into the new cotton district.
 Six years ago the Uganda crop was but 500 bales; this years crop IS ex- nected to go to 30,000 bales. The hone is that next year crop of oo'- GOO bales will be produced. It IS not b;ob prade cotton. It sells from o0 to 100 points below American coteoh' Lancashire needs just such cotton' however, in it's business.
 The railways find it difficult to get c.re enouoh to move the cotton grown in Uganda. The possibilities of Uganda are therefore limited, and the province will never grow the cot ton that may yet be produced Tn Nigeria and the Sudan. In no event and in no course of time is there any danger that Africa will become a serious rival of America in the grow ing of cotton. It has plenty of sun shine. but it's rainfall is not quite sufficient.

trombone and kettle drums along with harmony and theory.
 There are at the present time two Bir- mingham boys at the Boston Conserva- tory of Music. One of them is T. T. Da- vidson, the son of MT. Davidson, the well known violinist. and the other is Henry Damsky Davidson is pianist, but he has devoted much time to theory and composition and is said to be making fine headway.
 Young Damsky is clarinet player. He played in Nappis band in the park concerts year ago, and played with Klenk's trio at the Florence hotel during the summer just ended. Damsky said that while he intended to be a professional clarinet player, he found that it was of great importance to acquire solid musi- cianship, which meant a study of har- mony and theory. He left for Boston T day or two ago to resume his conservatory work. He spoke highly of MT. Chadwick, the director, who is one of the distin- guished composers of this country"

TONY
mn in The s,,rvev

Helen R. Gutmann in The Survey.
 Do you know Tony? Probably not, though he may have shned your shoes and, if he did you wondered. careless 1y, if he were a boy or a man--he, with his slight dwarfed body and the sunken, dull eyes of an old man. No, you don't know Tony. To know him, you must know Cecilia, lying white and listless in a dark corner of a dingy tenement room. No one thinks of her now. Yet year ago, every one on the block spoke of her There was no one as pretty as she, and Vannl loved her, prosperous vanni, whose fruit stand is just at the corner But New York is bleak and cold, and that is why Celia lies now in the dark room and coughs her life away. Only Tony, who cannot remember when he began to love Celia, comes to her now. She has ceased to wonder why Vanni does not come. One does not want sick wife.
 The American doctor who comes now and again., wonders each time to find the feeble little light of life still burn ing, but Celia knows why, and so does Tony; but he also knows that every evening Vanni and Rosa walk together as lovers. That is why he works so feverishly, for poor little Celia wishes so much for a tomb She can not die in peace until she knows there Is money to buy one. So Tony works and saves and starves, that he may have enough; for in very love he wants her to die before she hears that Vanni has so soon forgotten and is to marry Rosa.
 Sometimes, in the still hot evenings. Tony sits at Celia's side. and in whis- pers they discuss the relative ad- vantages of lamb, broken lily or, best of all, broken column with a vine. And some day soon the American doctor will be called to sign the death certificate. Then, when next Tony shines your shoes, you will know. in spite of his dwarfed body, that Tony is an old man, old man.
