fields, or the notes of the boy calling the cows to come home."
 The people of Missouri claim the right to the song by dedication anc long use, and the chances are that the song just grew into favor and its present form. It has been handed down, and no one will be permitted to monopolize it under the terms of the copyright law.
 As matter of public interest the Republic is, however. engaged in tracing the great lyric back to it's source. It is doing this as matter of research. It just naturally de- sires to be shown.
 The true title of the song is stated to be Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Aroun'." The music is well known in Missouri from the big river to the Ozarks, and it is perhaps the first state song of established reputation in our history.

Georgia's Big Peach Crop

State Entomologist Worsham of Georgia anticipates the biggest peach crop in the history of that state. The weather that killed peach buds all the way from the state of Washington to the state of Delaware simply held back the trees in Alabama and Geor- gia, and a moderate amount of cold weather hereafter will ensure a big crop.
 As peaches were elsewhere killed by temperatures of 20 degrees or more below zero MT. Worsham is certainly justified in anticipating good prices for peaches grown in the south.
 The Georgia fruitgrowers admit that their peach trees are promising. They may start rumor or two later on, but at present they are willing to admit that every sign is favorable. A big crop that can be sold at big prices is better than a gold mine in Georgia.

In Other Southern States

Alabama's solidity for Oscar Under wood is all right so far as it goes, and the way to extend it is to work for Underwood in the rest of the south, especially in the four adjoining Mississippi, Tennessee, Geor- gia and Florida. Every man who can change vote in any one of the four adjoining states should tighten Chair man E. K. Campbell's task of securing Underwood delegates in each and every one of them.
 Work at home is no longer needed, for every man, woman and child stands ready to cheer Oscar Under wood as the coming man. Work, how ever, is needed in each of the ad- joining states, and it should be done with all the energy we can put into it. In every one of the four adjoin- ing states Oscar Underwood is highly regarded. His strength in debate has brought him country wide fame. His capacity as leader in one of the most turbulent parliamentary bodies in the world has commended him from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Everywhere he is regarded as a sound, sagacious, level headed leader. But what is needed is work and organization in order to turn a favorable public opin- ion into delegates, in concrete form. This is the chief task before the friends of MT. Underwood today.
 The task can be accomplished. Let letters and personal efforts be ex- pended all this month in the adjoining states, and the trend in them can be turned into delegates pledged to sup port Oscar Underwood.

IN A PENNSYLVANIA MILL

Scott Nearing, in the Independent.
 The northeast wind drove the sleet and snow with stinging force through the Laclawanna valley, near Scranton, Pa. The mill whistle sounded shrilly. It was 6:3o and still quite dark on a bitter February morning.
 A tiny figure, with a shawl wrapped tightly around it's head, crept over the railroad track and down toward the mill.
 Time passed slowly. It was 6;So and more, but the night shift was not yet through getting up the ends,'' so the small figure waited in the sush by the mill door. First she stood on one chilled foot and then on another.
 Do you work here?"
 "Yes. ma am
 And you are how old?''
 Me? Fourteen
 How long have you worked in this mill?"
 Coin on four years.
 'How old were you when you started to work?'
 "Tirteen."
 "Ah, yes, I see the law has raised the age limit one year ill the meantime" "Yes, ma'a An, but it makes colo this morning." "Yes, it is very cold for you to stand out there How long do you work ir the mill?'' Tn there we work every day Il hours : "Eleven hours? For how much day?'

"BouGHT AND PAID FOR,

From Current Literature February).
 The modern drama, like the modern novel, begins where the old fashioned one ends-after the chime of the wedding bells has died out. Marriage itself, even when it is not complicated by infidelity, offers many problems, one of which Mir
 Broadhurst tackles in no uncertain way. In his sensational marital drama,
 questioned successes of the theatrical year, he introduces us to Robert Stafford
 multi-millionaire and self-made man; yir- ginia Blaine, telephone girl earning BIO a week, with whom he is in love; her sister Fanny, and James Gilley, a s1i week shipping clerk, the fianee of Fanny. Stafford has invited Virginia and the others to his luxurious apartment. When he finds himself for few minutes alone with her he discusses, among other things, the question of marriage from masculine point of view. He insists that men as a rule fail to take sufficient precautions before contracting marriage. For instance" he says, "a man needs q partner in a business enterprise. He meets a very congenial fellow. they pass some pleasant hours together and he gets to like him immensely. But does he make him his partner on that account? Hard 'ly. If, however in conjunction with his congeniality the man seems to possess the qualifications necessary for a. sue cessful partnership, the other man be- gins to investigate him. He looks up his record, if it is possible. He puts him to the test in some way. In any case he makes every effort to ascertain if he is really the man his acquaintance withhim has led him to think he is. At any rate that would be the prudent thing to do. lwouldn't.it? Marriage is the closest part nership in the world. And how does this same man act in regard to that? }IIe meets a girl and is attracted by her. Does he look up her record? Does heput her to a test? No indeed! And if he did and the girl found it out she would prob ably never forgive him.

BRYAN AND UNDERWOOD

From the Nashville Democrat.
 Despite MT. Bryans declaration to the contrary, it may be expected that the House committee on banking and cur rency, upon which most of the inquiry concerning the money trust will be devolved, will endeavor to make | thorough investigation The committee is, no doubt, quite as competent to pros ecute the inquiry as would have been special committee, such as was de- manded by Mr. Bryan in his telegram to Representative Henry, in which he reflected upon the regular committee by his sinister assertion that it was pre- ferred by Wall street. In the contest in the house democratic caucus, MT. Underwood stood up for the integrity of the House committee and again won against the interference of MT. Bryan in congressional matters. He was sus- tained by a vote of 115 to 66
 The arrogance of Mr. Bryan in his assumption of right and authority, not only to direct the democratic party, but also to control methods and legislation
 in Congress, seems unlimited. In his telegram to Henry he asserted his opin-
 ion, as though it should be conclusive, and intimated that if his advice were not taken it would be because the demo- cratic party is afraid of 'the powerful financial interests that have fought us since 1S96.' And when, under the leader hsip of Mr. Underwood, the caucus rejected Mir. Bryan's demand for special committee, but resolved upon an inves- tigation by regular committee, MT. Bryan again reflected on the committee on banking and currency by saying the money trust preferred that committee because 'it thinks it can control the com- mittee"
 Chairman Pujo of the banking and currency committee very properly insists that the committee should vindcate it. self against such an insinuation, and he says the committee is a unit in the de- cision to have MT. Bryan before 1t to ex- plain exactly what hei meant. MT. Bryan is suspicious of every one who does not agree with him and accept his judgment and leadership. He has assailed MT. Un- derwood and charged that he Is influenced by the interests" and is not deserving of democratic confidence. Yet, notwth- standinE MT. Bryan's unreasonlng prej- udice and opposition to the Alabama statesman, there is not a sounder or more incorruptible democrat in Congress.

SNAKE LIFE IN THE zoo

which is needed, and a great aviar5, large enough for flights of birds, are aontem- plated.
 The extent of these Improvements wills of course, depend upon the amount of money given for the purpose. If 1t is found insufficient for all, only the largest buildings will be replaced for it is the in- tention of the authorities to put up onlJ; the most modern and sanitary structures.
 With the Improvements it is planned to enlarge the collection of animals. Keeper Billy Snyder has been anxious for some time to add to the number of his charges, but there has been no room for more. There is what is known as the geological fund for this purpose, including moneys obtained in the selling and exchange of animals. This now amounts to about S5OOO

Democratic Harmony

'If perfect harmony does not prevail in the democratic party today, we come nearer having united party than at any time since 1S92.' said E. F.. Weatherton of Chicago "Without harmony it Is ini- possible for the democrats to win at the polls, and we need not only a. united party, but some votes from independent republicans in pivotal states like New York and Indiana.
 'The hope of the party is in the solid south, and in those doubtful states that MT. Tilden carried and that Grover Cleve- land carried The party has little chance in the west, notwithstanding some ag- gressive republican insurgency of which we hear a great deal of talk. Underwood seems to be acceptable to the New York democracy. Perhaps Woodrow Wilson would be able to carry New York, but l would rather have Underwoods chances. If it is in the air next fall that New York is going democratic, no matter who the candidate may be, then victory will be assured, for as New York goes so will go Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana"

THE DORTHY ARNOLD MYSTERY

From the New York World.
 The suspicion, though soon disapproved, that a young woman in a Philadelphia sanitarum was Dorothy Arnold revives interest in a case of mysterious disappear ance whose romantic features make it
 perhaps the most notable in recent his tory
 It is now nearly IA months since Dor | othy Arnold vanished from sight in broad
 day while walking on Fifth avenue. In | that time no trace of her has been found. 1 though this country and part of Flu
 rope have been ransacked by private de- 1 tectives and the police. hundred clues have been run down without def mite result so far as the public has been l informed, and speculation has remained l divided as to whether or not she is liv- | ing. But whether alive or dead by ac- 1 cident or design, the failure in either
 event to learn what has become of her has served only to deepen the mystery. | Tens of thousands of.people, purposely or by reason of nervous breakdown, dis | appear and are never found. But that a
 young girl untrained in deception and
 sought all over the world could so long
 elude detection with the craft of pro- fesional criminal or perish undiscovered
 under conditions which must have in-
 volved the sharing of the guilty secret by
 more than one person, is equally extraor-
 dinary. The disappearance of Dorothy Arnold parallels the mystery of Charley Ross,
 and with details of bafflng secrecy that
 invest 1t with an even greater popular interest.

Wilkinson for Underwood

w. F. Wilkinson, one of the examin- CTS of public accounts, passed through Birmingham yesterday en route to Gull man. While here he said that he was heartily in favor of the nomination of Oscar w. Underwood, but that it was his opinion that there should be no effort made by the state convention to instruct the delegation for any other man in case of the elimination of the Alabamian When asked if he thought such an eff fort would be made, Judge Wilkinson re- piled in the negative. "The delegation should be instructed" he said, ''to vote for Underwood without the idea of a sec ond choice. because the delegation de- sires to be instructed. As a rille how ever, I am opposed to instructed delega- | tions, although I am as heartily in favor | of Underwood as any other man of the state"
 Judge Wilkinson has been prominently mentioned as a candidate in the campaign of 1914 for secretary of state. Yesterday
 he stated that he would very probably
 make the race.

Street Car Signs

"The Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company should put side signs on the South Highlands cars and upon all the others said a man, flor I have often been late to my supper on account of not being able to recognize my car as it passed by. l think that the reason of not having signs on the sides is just an oversight, but the company should look into the matter
 For some time have been accustomed to catching the car at Parker's corner. l look out through the window or glass door when I hear a car approaching But as the front signs cannot be seen l either have to trot out or take the chance of missing my car. l wish the Birming- ham Railway.

an ex-President who has already served seven and half years at the head Of the ticket. My democratic friends seem to think that their party has good chance of winning in next November's election but President Taft will be hard man to beat in spite of all the talk of insur- gency and progressiveism in the west.
 "As to. the democratic candidates, It looked a few months ago as if the race in the convention would be between Gov ernor Harmon and Governor Woodrow Wilson: But I hear good deal about Leader Underwood now, and I would not be surprised to see him head the demo- cratic ticket.'

ON WILD WINGS

Bliss Carmen, "The White Gull.' I think thou must have wandered far With spring for guide, And heard the shy-born forest flowers Talk to the wind among the showers, Through sudden doorvays left ajar When the wind sighed; Thou must have heard the marching sweep
 Of blown white rain M Go volleying up the icy kills, {. And watched with summer when the hills Muttered of freedom ip their sleep !; And slept again. And thy clear spirit half forlorn, e Seeking its own,
 Dwelt with the nomad tents of rain, Marched with the gold-red ranks. of grain. Or ranged the. frontiers of the mo.n, And was alone.

Colonel GOethals' Reward

Already there is a discussion of a reward commensurate with the ser- vices of Colonel Goethals at Panama. He is an army officer, and if he were made a brigadier general tomorrow he army, for his age of retirement would come in 1922, and Major Gen. Leonard Wood will not retire until 1924. Spe- cial legislation will be. invoked, and no one sees at present just how the chief constructor of the canal can fitly be rewarded.
 Alabama does not love him quite as well as the rest of the country does, perhaps, because he is an advocate of West Virginia coal. He is the man who discovered that West Virginia coal alone could withstand the suns and rains of the tropics, and he really undertook to say that no other kind of coal could. His position in this matter is ridiculous, but still he is a great canal builder, and he deserves to be rewarded.
 z If the case had arisen in England Colonel Goethals would be voted a good round sum of money. Congress has no precedent for such action, and so no one stands ready to say what the colonel's reward should be.

WHY PERsIANs AVOIDED TRADE

c. w. G. Hyde: Ancient Persia"
 Persia is the only nation of the Tigris- Euphrates group that had a national sys- tenn of education Great pains were taken by the Persians in the education of their sons whose training began at years of age and continued for 15 years. The boy rose before dawn and was exercised in running and the use of weapons. At [ years he was trained to be an expert horsebracll rider. He was taught to en- dure extremes of heat and cold, to make long marches, to sleep In the open air. to live on three or four meals a week. and to support himself occasionally on such wild fruits he could gather. In addition to this physical training he was instructed in religion and morals, the most emphatic point being rigid ob- servance of the truth. The Persians re- fused to engage in trade, because, in their estimation, it necessarily involved i the telling of untruths.

Increase in Population

In the last decennial period Great Britain gained 3,1O0,000, Germany S,50O,000, the United States 15,200,- GOO in population, while France added but 1000 to her population.
 It does not follow that France is decadent. The truth is, the agricul- tural districts of France are fully populated today, as are similar dis tricts in Great Britain and Germany. The two last named have started many industrial plants and their cities have increased in population. France does not tend to industrialism She has no coal. The French people are not dying out. They are holding their own, and the fewer great mills they have in which toilers are under paid, with no chance to rise, perhaps the better her general condition. The mills of England are not furnishing strong men to fight England's battles. The land is not owned by the men that till it, and were it not for her colonies England would show signs of deca- dence.
 The United States is exceptional. It is a new country, and it will not be in centuries fully occupied as France or England are today. When it is it will indeed be great country and great problems in it will no doubt need solution.

\ Great HuInOrist

John Kendrick Bangs, who will de- liver a lecture in the lyceum course at the high school auditorium tomor- row night, will be the star attraction of the season, and it is safe to say that every seat will be occupied. MT. Bangs was born at Yonkers, N. Y., just 50 years ago. He is a graduate of Columbia. He studied law but never practiced it.
 MT. Bangs was associate editor of Life from 1SS4-ss, and was a mem- Der of the Harper Brothers editorial staff from 1888 to 1900. He was the editor of The Metropolitan Magazine | in 1902-S. He has published between 40 and 50 books, chiefly of humorous character. His most widely read book is "A House Boat on the Styks." "The Idiot at Home was also a good seller

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press. Principle is what a man talks; policy is what he does.
 You can be so nice to people that they
 will only kick you for not having more sense.
 The reason the baby doesn't swear at the stuff that is talked to him is not because it wouldn't be excusable. A man can be so pleased with him. self for being too smart to go into an investment that he can speculate with it. A woman is too dull to understand why it is that when her husband could run the house on half what she does it costs him to order a meal at restaurant more than she could feed the whole family on for week.

THE OPAL
AnOuyDlOuS.

 left him in her arms. The opal is the child of their love. In its fair face is forever mingled the silver of the rising moon and the glory of the sunset.
