Money and Business

"Everybody Is familiar with the inn provement in the general business or the country" said New 1ork maa yesterday. "Certain 1t is that commer- cial conditions are better now than they have been at any time since 1907.
 "The New York Tribune of day be- fore yesterday had an excellent edl- torial article on Money and Business. What 1t said reflects the true condition. The article in part is as follows;
 Improvement is reported in trade conditions in all parts of the country The actual volume of business shows marked expansion as compared with that reported in recent weeks and at this time year ago, a reflection ot which Is found in growing bank clear ings and heavier railroad earnings. Ths outlook for the crops is encouraging, owing to the snows of the last few months that have protected winter wheat and to the large amount of mois- ture in the ground, which makes the situation ideal for early farming oper- ations. Politics. and labor disturbances are not upsetting our business men, who believe that in spite Of strikes and the uncertainties of presidential campaign the general trend of affairs in the United States is on the up grade and that the country Is now reaching the point where the effect of the long reriod of readjustment through which our industries have been moving Will be shown in enlarged operations in all lines of financial and mercantile trans actions. Wholesale trade is being well sustained, retail operations are increas- ing, activity is noted on the stock ex- change, the demand for iron and steel is growing and money rates are frmer. The general business situation has healthy appearance

STUDY OF CEREMONIaLs

Special Cable to the New York Ameri-
 can.
 Paris, March 30.-Major Archibald Butt, the aide, but not the aide e-de- camp, to President Taft, is studying the work done by the masters of eere- monies or chefs de protocol in Europe with a view to making the etiquette of the White House the highest of the world
 The gallant major has served as aide to two Presidents. He is tall and handsome, and can beat, in his inn posing presence. any master of cere- monies in old Europe, If he were at the Court of St. James he would be called Lord Chamberlain; if at the Vatican he would be styled major domo; if at the Elysee, chef de pro- tocol, and if al the Court of King Al ducer of ambassadors.
 At present Major Butt who is in Rome studying the ceremonial of the Vatican and the Quirinal, surprises his aristoeratic acquaintances when they | learn that his offical title is simply aide to the President. In their com parison of notes with the major the | European masters of ceremonies find that while some of their duties arc identical in the old and new world, in others the major is ahead For in- stance, both American and European masters of ceremonies look over all
 who seek audience with their chiefs, The ma jor. however, is tennis player in chief at the White House, whereas NJ. Mallard, for example, isn't expected to perform any such violent duty for President Fallieres. Golf being the diversion of Presi- dent Taft. Major Butt holds himself in ] readiness to play at any time. Another pleasant duty not performed by Euro pean masters of ceremonies Is to ride with the President.
 On his arrival in Paris Major Butt will confer not only with the chief of protocol. M. Mollard but also with the recent French ambassador to Vienna, l Crozier, who is the most accomplished d master of ceremonies in France, and has been since the empire.

Suffrage for Women

No less than six states will in No vember vote upon constitutional amendments extending the suffrage to women. These are Michigan, Oregon, Nevada, Kansas, Wisconsin and Ohio. Warm campaigns by women are to be conducted in all these states, and the six states will furnish a clear indica- tion of public sentiment at the present time on this subject.
 The six states show the trend east ward of the movement. The victory in California left little to be won on the Pacific coast, and the states on this side of the Mississippi will naturally take up the big subject.
 In Wisconsin and Michigan even the presidential campaign will lose precedence. Every possible vote will be polled for women, and the various womens clubs with which all towns are equipped will be expected to vote for suffrage to women.
 The propaganda is no longer con- fined to small and new states. The capture of California has given it a new impetus, and it's march eastward will be watched with interest.

Irnn Market Improvement

The pig iron market continues to improve. The price moves up slow ly but the advancing tendency is un- mistakable.
 The market for foundry iron is firm at S10. 50 for No. 2, Birmingham, and sales for forward delivery have been made at $10.75.
 The indications are that quotations will reach $11 and harden at that figure before the end of the month.
 The sl0. 30 price is a great improve ment over the selling price of early in the year when considerable tonnage was contracted for at $9 50 An ad- vance of $1 ton means much for this district, and with return of pros perity in every direction, it will be no surprise to see southern iron sell ing for SIP on a Birmingham No. basis before June.

Jefferson County's Fee System

The Montgomery Advertiser speaks within the bounds of truth and sense when it says the central issue in the recent primary in this county was the fee system. It is also right when 1t says that this system leads to a great deal of corruption, and that the crim- inal record of the county is attributa- ble to it.
 But the Advertiser is mistaken when it says that the constitutional proposition to be submitted in No vember abolishes the fee system in this county The provision simply aims to make Jefferson county excep- tional in the case of section 96 of the constitution of 1901, which provides that "the legislature shall not enact any law not applicable to all the coun- ties in the state, regulating costs and charges of courts, or fees, commits sions or allowances of public off cers."
 If the people put Jefferson county in class by itself then the entire sub ject mentioned can be handled in the legislature regardless of the other counties in the state. In the regular course of events the next legislature will not meet until January, 1915.
 The Advertiser says this proposition %"should be carried by an overwhelm- ing majority" So it should be. In fact, it is difficult to see how an in- telligent ballot can be cast against it., for all that the Advertiser says about the feet system is true, and then the story is not half told.

advancing years stands just where they did. Nothing has been found that will stay the hardening of the arteries and the membranes. In other words, the gain has been gain of general sanitation, purer food and the preven- tion of infectious diseases, and not a gain over the seats of life in old age. More people are carried to three score and ten, where fate decrees that they must encounter the final ills of life.
 It is, however, a great achievement to add 12 years to the active career of an individual. This has been ac- complished in the last 50 years, but there is no promise that an equal gain can be made in the next 50 years, simply because no way has been found to overcome the hardening of the arr teries and the membranes.

Evolutionary Politics

Washington, John Adams and Jeff ferson were not nominated by any convention of any sort. The presi- dential electors voted in accordance with the views and wishes of the party leaders, who were in some cases ac- tive politicians. Possibly they would have been called bosses if the language of today had been in use. A second federal party arose in lief ferson's term, The repubicans-an- other name for democrats-were ar rayed against the federalists, and then arose the plan of nominations for President by members of Con gress. State legislatures, too, some times presented favorite sons. All this was very unsatisfactory, and at length, in 1886, a national convention was called, and in 1889 William Henry Harrison was nominated in one at Harrisburg. Never afterward were presidential nominations made except in presidential conventions. The dem ocrats early established the two thirds rule in such conventions, and it is maintained to this day, and will doubtless be adopted at Baltimore.
 The constitutional fathers had no faith in selections made by the repre- sentatives of the people in conven- tions. They did not anticipate such action. If they had they would doubt
 less have endeavored to prevent any such dangerous innovation. The framers of the constitution had small faith in the people as a whole. And today there is plain tendency to dis miss the convention and take the direct responses of the citizens in the choice of presidential candidates. The evolution from the constitutional fathers would then stand complete.

Prosperity in Virginia

AnnIrning Local Politics

.'Very few of the men for whom voted were elected" said an old dem ocrat, ''but in glancing over the list the winners seem to be excellent men.
 q have heard many reasons given for the defeat of certain of the candidates who were supposed to be generally strong
 in the race. Some say one thing and some another. It was perhaps com binatlon of causes that accounted Tor the defeat of certain high-class' gentle men, As The Age-Herald pointed out there was tendency on the part or the voters to put out the ins' not because they had any special reason for doing so. but simply as a general protest. The public had grown tired of lawless condi- tions and voted for a change on general principles notwithstanding the fact that the incumbents of office had, as rule, performed their duties faithfully and ef- ficiently.' When public sentiment gets stirred up it finds expression through the ballot box
 Some of my friends say that prohibi- tionists took a lively hand in the pri- mary. This may have been so, but they were very Qulet aDOut II. lHeS prnbdbiS passed the woo around in the case of at least two or three candidates.
 But, speaking of prohibition, if an is sue should be made again in Jefferson county on the liquor question the anti prohibitionists would win by even a larger l majority than they did last fall. Bir- mngham is growing rapidly and ma jority of the newcomers who register can be counted on to oppose drastic sump- tuary legislation. Sumptuary laws may give satisfaction for a while in rural communities. but they never set well on | large cities; nor does radical prohibition in my judgment make for better morals in the cities. Birmingham would have had a million dollar hotel two or three years ago had 1t not been for prohibi- l tion. Of course, the saloon proprietors must conduct their business strictly ac- cording to law, in order to remain in business. But l take it for granted that they will have sense enough to do that, to say nothing of any other point Of view than that of policy or self 1n- | terest."
