Varying Views on Steel Situation

varying views on oteel oltuatlOn | The Iron Age does not look for a boom in the steel trade. It admits that there has been a great deal of buying, and the large demand for steel has led to an advance of S1 ton in bars, wire and sheets.
 The Iron Age thinks the present buying is similar to that in the clos ing days of 1909. Many thought then," says the Iron Age, that the country was asserting the establish ment of a new high rate of iron and steel consumption which might be maintained for many months. But when stocks of finished steel had been repaired at the low prices the real rate of consumption showed itself. There should be no haste to conclude TOW that the business of the country has started on an unbroken upgrade. Prices have improved on some forms of finished material; on pig iron the Improvement in that respect is scarce ly measurable as yet. The mills, with some exceptions, as in plates and rails, have a good winters work ahead and some are we'll sold into the late spring"
 The view of the Iron Age is eau tious and prudent. It is not shared, however, by Mir. Prick and other lead CTS in the great industry. They be- lieve tAe year 1912 will be one of large demand and of rising prices. The year is near at hand and we will soor know whether Mr. Prick or the Iror Age will prove the better prophet.

NIGHT ALARM Ar wIyDsOR

From the Four County (Mo) Windsorite.
 At 1925 Saturday morning the fire alarm-the one dread thing that strikes terror to the heart of the strongest man, the sound that brings men and women from sweet repose to instant wakefulness, fearful anxiety and oftimes uncontrol- lable excitement, whether it be to give warning of the destruction of some hum be home, mansion or a business center this unwelcome sound rang out in our peaceful little city Saturday morning only one long whistle from the light plant, but sufficient to arouse a few of the lighter sleepers who bounded from warm beds into nasty and sometimes scant, at tire-rushed to the street and took up the cry of ,'Firel Fire! F'irel"
 And horror upon horrors! It was in one the Windsor's best business blocks. The Farmers Bank building was afire and the entire block in danger of destruction. When a reporter for the Windsorite arrived on the scene, the firemen were just ready to begin the fight. scarcely more than 10 or F people being on the ground.
 It was while battling the fire from 6 ladder at the window of the Chapman

Underwood In the West

Ten years ago Harry Hawkins left Birmingham to enter business in New York City where he has brokers bus mess in the street. He has come to Birmingham on a visit to his brother, John Hawkins, the stock broker. He has spent few months in Colorado looking after important interests which he represents there. Speaking of Ala bama, and Birmingham particularly, he said.
 T am gratiied to see this state nov ing onward in almost every line and I note.the wonderful growth of Birming-
 ham. l observe that The Age-Herald has kept full step with the progressive
 spirit and has led in the work
 '"The growing strength of oscar Un- derwood in the minds of the people throughout the United States has given Alabama kind of publicity that the state could obtain in no other way, particularly on the great question of the tariff, for it was not thought that one would come out of Alabama with it's varied interests who would be David to defy the trusts. Oscar Un- derwood is regarded by many men as the best equipped, cleanest, fairest man today mentioned for the presidency. If | he is nominated, he will undoubtedly win. If any strong sentiment of the south demands his selection he will be | nominated. Out in Colorado with its | thousands of visitors from all parts of the United States, he is the first man named by most of them. The promi- hence given to his candidacy by the | magazines and the public press has caused a strong tide to rise which I hope and believe will carry him to the White House. I took much pleasure | in aiding in organizing the Underwood club in Denver and it is doing good
 work unquestionably.
 | q wish to say a word about a citi-
 zen of Birmingham whom I met in the
 west, Charlie Sumner, who has been
 known here in Birmingham as a local
 politician has proved himself better
 organizer of large mining interests and has made a great success with Moose
 company. One of the best authorities in Colorado on the gold mining indus- l try said to me that Sumner had shown
 a real genius for the business and that he had done more to prove it in a few months than men who had spent years at it''

Tariff Work to Be Uppermost

The folly of tariff board reports and statistics scattered through 250O typewriter pages is already appar- ent. Each side construes them to suit it's own notions, and standpatter and progressive will each present a bill for revising Schedule K. Chair man Underwood will also present a bill, and the subect will be pushed through the House very much as if no tariff board report had been pre- pared. The House bill will be han died in the Senate with small regard to the tariff boards report.
 The tariff board did it's work con- scientiously, and yet it's work will probably prove valueless. Congress is the sole national tariff maker, and statistics can be twisted to serve the purpose of all sides and all views.
 In February Chairman Underwood will bring in wool bill based on all known information that has been ob- tained, and it will be bill that the democrats will stand by and go to the people on, unless indeed the Senate and the President accept it. In the | light of the Presidents message it is difficult to see how the President can veto a second time just and reason able revision of the Schedule K For I this reason the House bill may go l through the Senate aided by progress sive votes, and go to the President, who will sign it, although it will still be an Underwood bill.
 It should be remembered that the Senate will soon contain 45 democrats and 51 republicans. A change of four progressives would change the yer dict of the Senate on an Underwood tariff bill.

Birmingham's Strides

Although the theatrical business has not been up to normal this season the company that I represent has no cause to complain said Wallace Munro, rep resentative of The Nobodys Widow com- pany, in which Blanche Bates is the star. I've jump from Syracuse, N. Y., to the south and will appear at the Jefferson theatre January IS.
 "T have been visiting Birmingham reg ularly during the past 20 years, and of course, have remarked the wonderful im- provements here The first time I saw this city 1t looked to me like a flourish ing mining town and nothing more. The population of the city proper was small, but there must have been something like 100000 people in the immediate Birming- ham district. Now Birmingham has a population of about 15o,O0o. and this county has a population of about 250,0O0 Birming- ham is a very handsome city today and there are young men here who will live to see 1t with population above the 100000 mark"

His services are valuable to his party, and he should Keep himself in trim to perform them in Vigor- ous style His breakdown or protracted indispostion at this time would greatly disarrange the democratic congressional programme, and it might seriously injure the party's presidential programme.

 It was inevitable that at time when gossip is general, and all topics are laid under tribute, this affair should be re- quired to yield some. We are told that MT Underwood is afraid to meet MT. Bryan, who will attend the banquet and make a speech.
 But that is nonsense MT. Underwood is not "sSeery'' in any presence. and has shown himself able to hold his own in a controversy with MT. Bryan. He has opin- ions on all subjects likely to be referred to on the evening of the sth, and the courage of them at all times. It is a fact, however, that at present Mr Underwood is charged with heavy responsibilities and that the chief of them is securing, if possible, democratic harmony at this session of the house. After an effort he accomplished that much at the extra session, and by doing so won advantage for his party and praise l for himself

THE DEPARTED

By Park Benjamin. The departed! the departed!
 They visit us in dreams, And they glide above our memories
 Like shadows over streams, But where the cherful lights of home
 In constant luster burn, The departed, the departed,
 Can never more return. The good, the brave, the beautiful.
 How dreamless is their sleep, Where rolls the dirge like music
 Of the ever tossing deep! Or where the hurrying night winds
 Pale winters robes have spread Above their narrvw palaces In the cities of the dead! I look around and feel the awe
 Of one who walks alone Among tile wrecks of former days,
 In mournful ruin strown; start to hear the stirring sounds
 Among the cypress trees, For the voice of the departed
 Is borne upon the breeze. That solemn voice, it mingles with
 Each free and careless strain; scarce can think earth's minstrelsy
 Will cheer my heart again. The melody of summer waves,
 The thrilling notes of birds, Can never be so dear to me
 As their remembered words. I sometimes dream their pleasant smiles
 Still on me sweetly fall, Their tones of love I faintly hear My name in sadness call. I know that they are happy, '. With theif angel plumage on, But my heart is very desolate
 To think that they are gone

How Treaties May Be Upset

The treaty of 1882 with Russia was finally abrogated by the President acting with the Senate and finally the House. The House began the agita- ton and it spoke again at the end of it.
 Today abrogation of a treaty is still disputed question. The President and Senate are the treaty making part of the government, but it does not follow that they are the treaty break ing part of it. To annul treaty of peace means war and that could not be brought about except through the added action of the House.
 The precedents are various, and now the question is no nearer deter mined than it was hundred years ago. The question was first raised in 1791, and it has come up at various times since then. The Senate dearly cherishes its power and dignity, but as matter of fact it cannot well ab- rogate treaty without the consent of the House, for the support of the House would be needed if any trouble arose from the act The treaty with Russia was abrogated by the Presi- dent, Senate and House, and that is a good precedent, and the government will do we'll to adhere to it.

Panama Canal Tolls

It will cost about $3,000,0 ,000 a year to operate the Panama canal, and the interest charge will be about $12,000,- 900 more. Can Congress devise sat isfactory toll sheet that will meet these sums? Mr. John Barrett says it should make no toll sheet at all-- that it would be more profitable to the country to make the canal free to all vessels of all nations. He wants cheap water rates that will keep in check transcontinental railroad rates
