The End of Republican Rule.

The next President of the United
States, Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, will go into Office attended
by an ample Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives and en-
couraged by the prospect of an immi-
nent change in the control of the
Senate. For the first time since 1895
that is to say, for almost twenty
years-the undivided responsibility
for Legislation and administration
will rest upon the party which stood
so. nearly right with Grover Cleve-
land and went so frightfully wrong
with Bryan in the disastrous adven-
ture Of 1896. The deadly influence
of Bryan and Organism upon Demo
cratic fortunes and usefulness ends
with the Inauguration of President
Wilson if President Wilson so wills.
The best wish that the Sun can ex-
press for the President-elect, a COM
paratively untried man facing an
unparalleled opportunity, is that he
may seize upon the windpipe of Bry-
anism at the very start, and with all
the strength that the sinews Of long,
lean fingers possess, throttle that
persistent and fatal thing into
eternal silence. e.-New York SIN.

New Birth of Freedom.

Under the leadership Of Woodrow
Wilson the Democratic party has
won its greatest victory since 1920:
But this victory is no tawdry par
tisan triumph. tbs no vote of confi-
dence in the Democratic party as q
party, it is mandate from the peo-
pie and woe be unto the leader OF
this Democracy if they fs.lter in obe-
dience to that mandate. s
The country is seething with politi-.
cal discomfort, in spite OF its unpar-.
alleled material wealth and prosperi-
ty. This discomfort is confined to no
particular class or section. Rich and
poor alike. children of fortune and
children of poverty, have begun to
lose faith in the efficiency of their
government to establish justice and
promote the greater welfare. They
are not sure where the ia lies;
they are not united as to the remedy;
but this they know-that their insti-
tutions have been seized by privi-
legged interests and turned against
them; that subtle, mysterious forces
operating unseen have proved time
after time that their power over
public affairs was greater than the
power of the people as whole and
they demand that their government
be emancipated from this partner
ship. This is the great work that
confronts Woodrow Wilson andthe
Democratic party-to restore popu-
lar confidence in the institutions of
the republic and re-establish a gov
erment of the people. by the people
and for the people. = New YORK.

MARKET IN COTTON
 GOODS HOLDSF|RM

New York. July 21.-The cotton goods markets are hardening steadily and trade is moving along in a moderate way. The strike among fine goods mills has brought on a restriction of output that is already beginning to benefit this section by re- moving the irregular quotations and lead ing up to more firmness on the part of the mills on goods to be made for future de- livery At this time it seems as if more than 100000 fine spindles will be idle for several weeks as neither weavers nor manufacturers manifest disposition to come together and adjust their difficult ties.
 Print cloths are firmer and there has been a wider scattered demand for heavy brown goods. Advances are looked for. Staple, ginghams rule firm. dress ging- hams quiet.
 There has been better demand for merchandise from western and southern points where crop prospects are better. Bleached cottons are gradually working to a higher level with the demand cen tering more on the low cotvts. Prices rule about as follows:
 Print cloths, 2s inch, 6fx6is, 15-16c; 6ix 6os, 3%c: ssh inch. 64x6fs, 5kc; brown sheetings. southern standard. TAG; denims, ounce. 131sc: ticlSings s ounce, 13c; stand ard prints. 5hc; standard staple ginshams. 64c; dress ginghams. 9i4c.

BRAKES FAIL ON
 MOUNTA|NS|DE Thrilling Ride Yesterday By
 Party of Seven
MISS BUGER IS HURT
Chauffeur Stuck to Wheel and Prob ably Saved Members of Party From Much More Serious
 Injury

Yesterday afternoon when a taxicab went wild at the head of Waucoma ave nue, and shot down towards Highland avenue, careened towards the walk and smashed the front of the car, Miss Jessie Buger, of Ensley, suffered severe cut on the head. She was taken to the Rob- lnson infirmary where her head was dressed. The injury was only slight
 The automobile was a seven passenger car belonging to the Jones Taxicab com pany, and contained a party of seven, who had been for Q trip to the anti tuberculosis camp over Red mountain. As the chauffeur put on the brakes at the top of Waucoma avenue, and started down the steep hill the brake broke. The car went careenng wildly. down the ave- nue, and the women screamed hysterieal- ly. Only the presence of mind of the chauffeur saved the party from a bad smash-up and probably q loss of life. Owing to the release of the wheels on the steep incline, the car fairly jumped down the hill, and the speed was so great that the reevrse could not be applied. Holding the steering wheel with a firm hand. the young fellow guided the big car safely down the hill. On Highland avenue new double tracks are being put in by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, and it was against the uncovered ties and rails that the car crashed. Had the chauffeur released the wheel at this moment the front wheels of the car would probably have turned and the entire party would have been thrown out of the car. But with the pile of rails and ties right in front the young man held on with death grip and in stead of turning over the big sevea- passenger EMF car hit the pile and bounced back seevral feet.
 The jolt threw Miss Burger to the bot tom of the car and her left cheek was gashed. Other than a good scare, the rest of the party received no injuries. The front wheels of the automobile were smashed, and the hood crushed, but this constituted the amount of damage done. The chauffeud received many compli- ments on his bravery in hanging onto the wheel and his skill in handling the car down the steep hill

BANK CASHIER IS
 SHOT BY A NEGRO

Cuba, July 21.-(SpecialD-C. B. Lid dell. former cashier of the Choctaw bank at Butler, Ala, was shot and probably fatally injured at place on the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern road, known as Horn Mills. by a ne- gro employe last night about dark. Telephonic description via Yantley was received here this morning just as a negro answering the description was boarding the train.
 It appears that Mir. Liddell has been engaged in running large turpentine orchard and mill since he left the bank and at the close of business last night had some words with the negro, who shot him down without any time be- ing given MT. Liddell to defend him. self.
 The negro Is said to be from Geiger, Ala, and messages have been sent to that place as well as all along the l,ne to apprehend him and it Is be- lieved to be only n question of a few hours until he is taken into custody. At last accounts 1t was thought that the injured man might recover. He is a son Jaw of O.. I. Gray, pres ident of the Choctaw bank, and has been prominently identified with the business interests of that section ever since the organization of the bank.

PRICES ARE RAISED IN STOCK MARKET Crop Prospects Convey a Promise of High
 Prosperity

New York July H.-With the banking position reinforced and with good news of the progress of the grain crops specu- lative sentiment in the stock market last week turned hopeful and an uplift of prices resulted. The bank statement at the end of the preceding week had dis closed a restoration of the surplus re- serves over the legal requirements and there was no further pressure last week on borrowers such as was reported the previous week in following out measures to correct the deficit The easing of call money did not remove all apprehension that further demands on the market would have to be provided for to the prej- udice of speculative employment of funds. It was kept in mind that the time Is ap- preaching when resources will have to be provided for removing the crops.
 Successive low records fcr British con sols were established in the London mar let under pressure of liquidation from leaders committed to other obligations, notably subscriptions to new issues left in the hands of underwriters. This unre- lieved non-digestion of securities Is a bur den. the effects of which are transmit ted to all other financial markets.
 r Except for cotton, reports Of crop pros pects last week carried promise of high prosperity. Excellent growing weather for corn, oats and hay gave assurance of cure at work for dehcict feed sup plies for live stock. The condition or spring wheat also gave confidence.
 The favorable crop promise added to the indicated needs of the railroads for new facilities. Railroad equipment in- dustriais including the steel group, were affected by this prospect
 The keen demand for labor in the stee trade and in the harvest regions color the dominant impression of labor conditions

SENATOR WORKS
 ID OPPOSE TAFT

Washington, July 21.-The controversy between Senator John D. Works and pro- gressive leaders of California advanced another stage today when the senator was called upon by telegraph by Lieut. Gov. A. J. Wallace to inform the progressive voters whether he intended to vote for Rooseevlt, Taft or Wilson.
 Will not vote for Taft" Senator Works telegraphed back. Would have voted for and aided in election of Roosevelt if he had stood on his rights to the nomination at Chicago and run as republican. Will not follow him into a new party. Be- lieve new party abandons the ground that would make his claim invunerable. :"
 Senator Works added that whether he would now vote for Roosevelt depends on how he is nominated and whether he runs as a republican"
 He further said that he felt he could as a progressive republican, vote for Will son consistently, If no republican other than Taft is nominated.

Colonel Hoblitzelle has for many years given the south some of the most pretentious vaudeville shows obtainable. He owns in this city the Majestic theatre, but during the past several weeks business has been so enormous that he was advised by his general manager that the house was entirely too small to accommodate te the crowds even with the present seat ing capacity of 1300 To give Birming- ham public an idea who Col. Karl Hob litzelle is, the following win illustrate that he Is the king of American vaudc- vile. Col. Karl Hoblitzelle is president of the famous Interstate theatres all over the south, with headquarters at the Majestic theatre building, Chicago
 He Is also president of the Consolidated Vaudeville Managers Corporation of America, with headquarters also at tho Majestic theatre building. Chicago. The Consolidated Vaudeville Managers Cor

ROOSEVELT AND
 FLYNN ID MEET Will Discuss Selection of Candidates for Electors ROOSEVELT'S IDEAS
Colonel Rejects Flinn's Plan for Se- lection in Pennsylvania-COchems Says Wisconsin Will Go for
 Roosevelt

Oyster Bay. July 21.-An important step In the formation of the national progressive party will come up for de- cision tomorrow at a conference be- tween Colonel Roosevelt and ex-State Senator William Finn of Pitts burg. Colonel Roosevelt said to- night he had received word that MT. Film had left Pittsburg for Oyster Bay and would be here tomor- row. When he arrives Colonel Roose- welt will give his final word in regard to methods upon which he will insist in the selection of candidates for presi- dental electors
 MT. Film and F. A. Van Valkenburg proposed recently that the same can didates for presidential electors be placed on both the Taft and Roosevelt tickets In Pennsylvania, with agree ment that the entire electoral vote of the state would go to the candidate for President whose ticket received the largest popular vote. Colonel Roose- welt rejected the plan in so far as 1t involved an agreement by which, under
 
 ed by him might vote for MT. Taft. It was understood that the matter would be left open until after the na- tional progressive convention. MT. Flinn's visit at this time, however. Is said to be prompted by the desire of the republican campaign managers in Pennsylvania to make their plans at once. Colonel Roosevelt made 1t known that he would not depart from the stand he has taken.
 If either the republican or demo- cratic organization of Pennsylvania or any other state Is In control of his supporters, who are able to place the Roosevelt candidates for electors upon their tickets without compromise, the colonel will offer no objections.
 Colonel Roosevelt would not advance any suggestions as to the plan to be adopted in Pennsylvania. It is re garded as probable that the decision reported at this conference will be of Influence in determining the course to be taken in other states, such as New Jersey and Maryland, where similar questions have been raised.
 Colonel Roosevelt talked over the situation in Wisconsin today with President Charles R. Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin, and Harry Cochems, former lieutenant of Sem ator LaFollette, who has joined the new party
 "Mr. Cochems," the colonel said, lis very much pleased with all that has been accomplished In Wisconsin, and he says that there Is no question what ever that we will carry the state" "Fine.
