Extension of Woman Suffrage

Before Tuesdays election women could vote in California, Colorado, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Wyo- ming. They can hereafter vote in Michigan, Kansas, Oregon and Ari- zona-ten states all told, casting TO electoral votes. In California it is es- timated 46,800 women voted on Tues day and the women who owned autos used them to carry their less for tunate sisters to the polls.
 Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Woman Suffrage associa- ton, says that Tuesdays victory has put woman suffrage on Easy street, , and that all parties will seek the votes of women in 1916.
 The rapid spread of woman suf- frage in this country is not marked by any of the excesses deemed essen tial in Great Britain. No windows are smashed, and no cabinet official is k-batted. Women are winning in this country the voting privilege with out resorting to any measure that is unfeminine. The women voters will take deep interest in all legislation relating to children, to public educa- ton and to the public health. The innovation is rather startling to those who cling to the early methods of the republic, but in these days when new ideals are the fashion no doubt the new movement will spread even to the stormy shores of the At lantic itself.

Madison and Monroe, broken only by the single term of John Adams. Vir- ginia caught her second wind when the elder Harrison and Tyler became Presidents. Taylor followed in 1849, and Woodrow Wilson winds up the list-eight in all out of 2s, as against six from Ohio.
 The Staunton celebration will be a joyous event. The President-elect will be there, and no doubt he will have something to say of interest to Virginians at any rate.
 It will be happy celebration, and the less politics there is in it the more enjoyable it will be. The entire south will rejoice over the fact that Vir- ginia has by no means ceased to be the mother of presidents.

Paris Letter to the London Telegraph.
 The milkman who waters his milk and the grocer who adulterates his butter are not. after all the products of our modern civilization. These men, it appears, have an ancestry of respectable antiquity. Witness an edict which an antiquary has discovered in the archives of Puy-de- Dome:
 'fWhosoever shall have sold watered milk, in his mouth shall be set tube, and into the said tube shall be poured the watered milk till the doctor or barber there present shall assert that the culprit in danger of his days. Whosoever shall have sold butter containing turnips stones, or any other foreign substance shall be seized and attached in a very curious manner to our pillory of Pontet.
 Then the said butter shall be placed on his head till the sun shall have melted it completely and In the meantime the children and meaner fol,, of the villages shall insult him with sue. outrageous epi- thets as shall please them-subject to the respect of God and his majesty Who. soever shall have sold evil or rotten eggs shall be seized by the body and exposed in our pillory of Pontet. The said eggs shall be given to the children of the vil- lages, who shall by way of joyful dyer sion throw them in tho face of theScul- prit, so that all may be full of merrimcnt and laughter
 Justice had humorous way with it in those good old days.

AFTER THE ELECTION

From the Kansas City Star.
 'Well, no, Mir. Slickun.' said the landlord of the Skeedee Tavern. ad- dressing the encyclopedia agent q am afraid you can't do much business here, just at this time The people who might he expected to appreciate your books are all otherwise engaged. Pip Maud lin has set out to roll peanut eight miles with a toothpiek and won't be back for some time. Claud Fidd will commence in few minutes to parade solemnly up and down all day with a portrait of Taft displayed wrong side up on his back. Judge Ramsbottom is heading procession of 2S consecutive wheel barrows, each with a success ful patriot in it and an unsuccessful one pushing iS or vicy vercy-for mo- body really knows who gets the worst of it in a wheelbarrow ride-25 or 30 gentlemen are now buying the same quantity of hats for an equal number of other gentlemen, and practically all the rest of the voters are either sleep ing off their triumph or disappoint- ment or planning how they can get the postoffice. So. as the people who or dlnarily would be interested in your valuable works are mixed up in the usual after election pursuits. I don't spDe you can get their undivided at- tention-"

Length of the Presidential Term

Congressman Clayton favors sin gle term of six years, while ex-Sena- tor Blair prefers limitation of presi- dential service to two terms of four years each. Congress appreciates the importance of submitting an amend ment on this question, and it will be asked to sanction one of these two propositions.
 It seems to be agreed that no amendment will be made to apply to the incoming administration. What ever amendment is submitted will have reference to elections in 1916 and in subsequent years, leaving the President-elect free to accept sec ond term. This would be fair play, and an amendment which may last as long as the republic does should be started in spirit free from bitterness or cheap politics.
 It is believed the subject will be brought up at the short sesion, and the House will be asked to act defi- nitely on the matter The country is ripe for settlement of the third term question for once and for all.

Oil md Gas in Texas.

W. W. silk is home on flying visit.
 He goes back to Texas tomorrow to re-
 sume his work as managing director
 of an oil and gas company q took" he said, the Five Rivers oil and Gas company out of Alabama
 and transferred it to the Electra field in Texas and in eight months have given itSa yearly income or ss6,ooo
 above all royalties.
 We now hold 40 acres of proven ter ritory in the Electra field, upon which two excellent wells have been sunk and ten more are to be drilled. Every we'll is a producer. Besides this we are sinking a deep well near Petrolfa and the drill is 1850 feet down, and lit will be necessary to go about 250 feet further. If this we'll should prove to be good one. we would then have
 42o acres to drill in and no one could
 rob us of oil or gas. There is gas enough near Petrolia to supply half of
 the country.
 The Five Rivers company is owned
 almost wholly in Alabama, and l in-
 tend to make 1t one of the great pro-
 ducing companies In the Red rive val lley"

JULIET's BALCONY

From the London Telegraph.
 This was the homo of the Capulets. from whom descended Juliet, for whom SC many kind hearts have wept and of whom the poets have sung"
 You read the words on a tablet by the side of tall and slender gray house in a quiet street of Verona. few steps further on the busy life Of the old city is centered in the market place, and in the one or two streets that lead from it. You stand in front of the lightly built dwelling, and you look at-the slim balcony of wood from which bent forward the form of the radiant girl whose undying love story has echoed down the ages It is an autumn day and within the rail of the narrow framework someone has placed red flowers in tall green pots A cur tan at the little window moves in the breeze. and you expect at any mo- rnent to see the dainty form of Juliet appear and to hear sippling laugh fall from her lips.
 A woman steps from the room be- yond, through the open window and stands to listen. She has child in her arms, and he clasps his hands, laughing and growing. no doubt just as the beloved Veronese did centuries ago. The mother hushes him, for she is intently. listening to the market cries. In the midst Of that everyday life walks the immortal Juliet

VIII open Studio Here.

Charles Leslie Morrison and his wife, Mrs. Hazel Morrison, are among the latest acquisitions to Birmingham's mus ical set They come here from Indianapo- lis. They have been identified with the best musical activities in the Indiana city. Mir. Morrison is dramatic basso and a dramatic reader and Mrs. Morrison is a concert harpist and pianist. In speak ing of the new corners, J. E. Shelby said yesterday:
 Tt gives me great pleasure to youch for the Morrisons. I know MT. Morri- son we'll. He is young gentleman of fine talent and fine address. He and his good wife have both had marked success on the concert stage. They have come to Birmingham to live because they have unbounded faith in this city's future. They will open a teaching studio here and will soon be heard in public per formance. They have splendid press mo- tices.'

This Years Corn Crop

Corn has clearly crowded cotton from the top of the list of farm pro- ductions this year. Cotton is billion dollar crop, and it commands cash from the day it is ginned and baled' Corn needs more or less manipulation, but the corn crop of this year stands in official figures at 3,169, 9,137 ,OOO bushels, the biggest crop of corn ever grown in single country in the worlds history.
 This immense crop is valued at ST. $50, ,776, ,000, or at 30 cents bushel. It is really worth more than that in the states that do not raise their own supplies. Alabama is one of those states, and corn is worth here any where from 75 cents to S1 bushel.
 Alabama is credited with the pro- duction of 53,664, ,000 bushels, and the sorriest part of the statement of the secretary of agriculture is that the yield was at the rate of 17.2 bushels per acre. Such yield is not creditable or economical. It is a waste of land and labor. The yield in Ohio was at the rate of 42.s bushels per acre, and even in Minnesota, up toward the north pole, the yield was 37 bushels per acre.
 Tennessee grows 26 bushels to the acre, and there is really no reason why Alabama should grow but I'll bushels to the acre. A reform in cul- tivation is sadly needed in this state We should blow deeper and cultivate an dfertilize more thoroughly. We need more demonstration farms and more Boys corn clubs in each and every county in this state.

Speedway and Lake

The announcement that the Edge wood club had changed its name to the Birmingham Motor and Country club, and that it would construct a speedway to rival those of Indianapolis and Savannah is of large interest here.
 Birmingham is busy town but the buster the community the more reason there is for variety of innocent and exhilarating diversions. Conservative, slow-going towns can get along with out amusements but the old adage "all work and no play makes Jack dull boy" should ever be borne in mind in this great pulsating commercial city.
 Along with the speedway the club has projected a dam for two-mile lake. These Improvements will cer- tainly add greatly to Birmingham s attractiveness.

 "Youpg women who have ,ong finger nails with vivid pink flush generally make good wives, today said Cosmo Biar chi, 8 New York manicure, before a meeting of Washington manicures. Re- cently a Philadelphia dentist declared girls with pink teeth made the best wives
 This finger nall test is infallible, and psychologists will agree with me" con- tinued MT, Bianchi. Young women who have short, stubby finger nails, withcus very much color are of a very cold blood ed nature and capable of only limited love.
 Young men who have both broad and lohg finger nails make good husbands A nan with little color in his nails is gen orally a man Of strong character and makes a good bread winner. This sort of mansis very ambitious and is rather in clined to be selfish. They seldom have happy married lives. Because they think too much of business.
 Engaged persons should take careful notice of these things. They are good signs to go by. and the manicure can aid greatly in matchmaking. and has it in her poMer to rob the divorce court of much work

Years of Prosperity

The Birmingham district has been enjoying genuine prosperity for many months past and optimism was never more distinctly in evidence hereabouts than it is now.
 Although the election of the demo- cratic presidential ticket had been practically assured from the begin ming of the campaign yet now that the contest is behind us the atmosphere of the business world is cleared, in a measure, and the future is wonder fully bright.
 The first democratic administration since the war marked great turn in the business situation. Early in the eighties there was depression. For four years we had very hard times in this country. In 1884 everything seemed to be at rock bottom and the republicans couldn't use their old ar gument that republican rule meant prosperity. A great many men who had been voting the republican ticket voted for Cleveland on the theory that business could be no worse; it might be better. With the beginning of 1885 a solid boom started up and the country at large had at least two years of uncommon thrift.
 Looking back to the time of the first democratic President since Buch- anan we have been particularly for tunate this year by comparison. A boom started up during the early stages of the presidential campaign and it was accelerated in spite of all political agitation. With the election of Woodrow Wilson we are many months ahead of the prosperity sched- ule compared with the prosperity which came in that memorable Cleve- land year. Bumper crops stimulated prosperity this year but even if the harvests had not been as bountiful as they were we would have had fairly good business conditions, for the time was ripe for a return of industrial activity.
 Woodrow Wilson has not had the wide political training of some of his predecessors but he has had sufficient experience to take up the duties of the highest executive office in the land with large degree of self reliance. There is every reason to believe that he will make a strong President. He has made it plain that it is his pur- pose to aid all legitimate business op- erations rather than retard them, and that much might be taken for granted. Governor Wilson will natur- ally desire to achieve distinction in the presidential office and in order to make sure of successful adminis- tration he will do all that he can honestly to promote the business in- terests of the country.
 Yes, good times are ahead, and as great as has been Birmingham's stride this year it promises to be far greater next. It is safe to say that new high records will be made in every branch of business in the Birmingham dis trict.
