IN HOTEL LOBBIES
. Democratic Opportunity

If the democrats do not win in next November's election they might as well quit trying said Harvey J. Vincent of Chicago. Even If Roosevelt hadn't bolt ed, but he and his followers had remained in the republican party, MT. Taft's elec- tion would be doubtful As it is. it would be almost like g. miracle if the republican ticket were to win:
 T have always voted the democratic ticket-have been a voter since 1S92-but l will have more pleasure than usual in voting this year. It is certainly time that the republican party was voted out of office. There is a saying that the dem ocrats can be depended on to make fatal blunder before election day, but the very fact that that idea is impressed upon the mind will make the democrats all the more careful not to blunder this year.
 "Of course, the republican party will have big slush fund. Votes cannot be purchased outright, as in former days, perhaps, but a corrupt fund can be used with decided effect regardless of all laws made for the protection of the ballot. Yet, in spite of large campaign fund that the republicans will raise, Wilson and Marshall are well nigh sure of cleo tion

RIGHTEOUS CATHOLIC ANSWER

From the New 1ork sun.
 The Catholic clergy in Brooklyn have learned of the circulation of an un- signed pamphlet bearing the caption Make America Catholic" which says that detective of national reputation has discovered that the nasements of all Catholic churches are the hiding places of guns and ammunition, the property of the Knights of Columbus, who, the pamphlet announces, are drill ling constantly There are 300,000 of these Knights of Columbus, the pamph- let says, who are simply awaiting the command of Pope Plus to get busy and make America Catholic. The pamphlet urges that all Catholic candidates for public office or non- Catholic candidates entertaining any friendship for Catho- lies or their church be voted against.
 Commenting editorially on this pamphlet the Tablet, the< official Cath ollie organ of Brooklyn, facetiously says that the first step toward Making America Catholic" will be to have Pope Plus resign, elevate an American Car dinal to the Papacy, remove St. Peters from Rome to Washington and make Cardinal Gibbons President of the United States

Governor Wilson on the Tariff

"Of course," said Governor Wilson last week, "the tariff will be the dominant issue. It will not be the sole issue, of course, but 1t will be the most important Undoubtedly the tar if is the center of the problem of the trusts and of the present cost of liv- ing. As a matter of fact it is inter- laced in public questions of all kinds. A majority of the trust questions have risen out of the tariff situation. The minute you start from the center, the tariff problem, you go into the trust question:"
 This is all very true, but then there is a minority of trusts not growing out of tariff rates that need atten- tion also if all of the domestic prices of the necessaries of life are to be reduced.
 The Sherman law as enforced by Roosevelt and Taft is utterly impotent. Great care was taken by both to do nothing to stop any trust from re- stricting trade, overthrowing compe- tition and advancing prices.
 The democratic platform points to the true policy when it demands "such additional legislation as may be neces- sary to make it impossible for a pri- vate monopoly to exist in the United States" This is comprehensive, ex- plicit and plain, and if the democratic party gains full power it must be car ried out.
 What is needed is a control of in dustrial corporations similar to the control of railroads by the United States. The democratic platform de- clares that "a private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable," and when this is carried into law after March 4 next, all monopolies will be in truth and in fact abolished, Bogus annullments will then he superseded by some that will wholly do away with monopolies. The Roosevelt and Taft policy has been fruitless except to the trusts themselves.

; VESSELS OF YESTERDAY

Philip Hale in the Boston Herald.
 There has been an outcry of late against the luxurious appointments of steamships crossing the Atlantic. The finger of scorn has been pointed at golf links, squash courts, perfumed baths, rose bushes. etc. provided for the pam pered passengers.
 And there are some who sigh for the good old days when flannel shirt with out relieving touch of starched linen was the correct thing at dinner; when the women were as grubs until land was sighted. and then they appeared on deck as butterflies; when a fortnight at sea was all too. short a time; when a ship was expected to be uncomfortable; when business was necessarily left behind on the pier and no message could come through the air; when the bath was a jet from a hose held by grinning sailor on wet deck.
 Sumptuously furnished vessels were known centuries before Sirius or the pride of the Collins Line. The ship that Archimedes dsigned for Hiero II, King of Syracuse. not only was wonderfully decorated-the story of the Iliad was told in marquetry-but there were flower beds on the promenade deck, gymna- sium, staterooms with three beds, a. H. brary. bathroom with hot and cold water.

NICKEL IN THE SLOT CAFE

From the New York Herald.
 Here is one place where striking walters hold no terror, as all the food stuff is served automatically after the same has been sufficiently coaxed with cent piece. This new Utopia in foodland is in Broadway, Between For ty-seventh and Forty eighth streets, on the shady side. It is known as the Automat
 If you want a piece of pumpkin pie you drop a nickel in slot so desig- mated and the luscious yellow pastry fairly jumps out and greets you. Golf fee, soup, cocoa and other liquids which do not require an all night license to serve squirt out like a Yellowstone park geyser with milk q cream att tached.
 Food in germproof tissue paper wrap pers Hops out from glass inclosures at every angle. Hot and cold lunch is served in the Automat and it is possi- ble to obtain dish of ice cream from the refrigerator slots. If you desire any of the tailor made food, such as toast. omelet,' etc, you must show your fai1, by depositing a coin and waiting for the same to be prepared. The Automat was opened to the pub lie several days ago It is preten- tious establishment costing more than 5000. John Fritscher of Phiadel- phia is the inventor and is here to see that the operation of the food machine is satisfactory.

NORWAY FISHING

From the Indianapolis News.
 Fishing continues, next to agricul- ture, to be the most important of Nor ways occupations. It Is the principal source of income of the coast popula- tion. The christiania fisheries cover winter and other varieties of cod, her ring, sprat. coalfish. halibut. founders, Holsters, salmon and also fresh water fish. The foreign fisheries cover the catch of whales, walrus and seals. The year 1911 was prosperous for the fish erfolk. The catch of winter cod was larger than in any season since 1S97., The number taken in. 1911 is placed approximately at 64,500.000. The out put of medicinal cod liver oil approxi- mated 43.31S barrels. The herring catch was extremely large, and the catch of sprats in the Stavanger dis trict alone is placed at 25I,ooo bushels. About 17,000 bushels were prepared as anchovies and the rest as sardines. The 1911 catch of sprats in@the entire king dom is estimated at 3o0,0o0 bushels.
 Nearly all the salt mackerel went to the United States The quantity pre- pared was 50,247 barrels. The whale 
 and seal industries were carried on with vigor and proved immensely profitable, dividends of from 100 to 150 per cent commonly being declared. There was a rich catch in the southern seas. The total gross returns for the season 191O- II were s6,700,000. Fifty-five companies engaged in whaling. Norwegians started two new companies to fish in Alaskan waters under the American flag. Whales appeared to be most plen- tiful in the southern seas around south, Georgia, south Shetland, Kerguelen and on the coast of South America and Africa. They are evidently decreasing fin number in the north as the recent re- turns have been light.
 The number of persons engaged in fishing as vocation throughout rhe kingdom who are registered and in- sured under the fshermen's insurance law was S9.925 in 1910. Of these 5709 were from the Stavanger district There are in the entire kingdom 1ss steamers engaged in fishing, of which 22 are in the Stavanger district There are sew eral thousand sailors, motor boats and small rowboats used in the fisheries.

From the St Louis Dispatch.

Who's Who in America

"The new edition of Who's Who in America Volume VII, Is, like all pre- vious, volumes full of interesty said d professional man. "This 'biogra phical dictionary of notable living men and women in the United States is revised and reissued every two years.
 q have long been familiar with tho Macmillan's English publications, and that company's Who's Who is a high ly useful book to anyone wishing to keep informed about persons of world wide distinction British biography is mostly in evidence in Macmillans Who's Who but one thing 1 particu- larly like about 1t is it's high stan- dard and it's completeness according to that high standard That is to say, in England, Ireland and Scotland one must be of considerable consequence either as literary worker. an inventor, an educator, military man, a medical man, a financier, or clergyman in or der to get in Who's Who.' But anyone attaining a high position in Great Britain is sure to be chronicled.
 ''In our Who's Who in America many persons of mediocre standing are writ ten up,' while many persons of very high merit have no place in it. happen to be in Who's Who but in looking over the index I missed the names of many men who are certainly entitled to recognition in biographical work. Very likely in the next volume many names will be added to the Ala bama list. Birmingham Is now repre- scented by just sS souls, including three women."

The south,s Progress

"One of the most interesting articles in last weeks Baltimore Manufacturers Record was that which appeared on the first editorial page, entitled, Forward, ' said a member of the Chamber of Com merce. "In 12o0 or 1500 words the editor grouped in crisp paragraphs many ami mating facts. One of the most impressive of the paragraphs was this: TO the amazement of the cotton trade of the world crop of 16,5oo,000 bales has been rapidly absorbed at steadily advancing prices Another impressive paragraph:
 "'The 250,ooo miles of raflroad in this country are, with few exceptions, taxed almost to the limit of their ability to han dle existing traffic, which will rapidly increase as the crop moving season ap- proaches.
 "As the Manufacturers Record points but. the country is now producing pig iron at the rate of about 29,000,000 tons a year, its consumption exceeding the pro- duction. This is at the rate of about 100000 tons higher than the boom year of 1906, and at about the rate of 100000 tons higher than the production of 1910, fhe record year of iron output.
 Politicians may rave and rant, says the Manufacturers Record, may ignore economic laws. which are more powerful than parties or governments; they may under take to prove this or that and hope to befuddle the people. but the country goes steadily forward. with work for all who are willing to work, with ever in- creasing prosperity of the farmers, with better wages in the shops, and with eyefy other needed evidence of progress.

Let Hilles Do the Work

The secretary of MT. Taft has been selected to conduct the Taft campaign, and the chief slush gatherer will be named on July 19. The campaign of the party of fl"BarnMNs, Penrose, Gug- penheim & Co.," will then proceed to do business on the old we'll known Mark Hanna lines.
 Hilles, was really drafted after Barnes had declined to act as cam paign manager. William Barnes, Jr., is the true leader of a reactionary campaign--a campaign in which the interests will line up side by side with all the reactionaries in the country. The alliance is to be perfected to the utmost, and the country is to be freely told that the biggest slush fund from the interests has uniformly proved victorious. They say that this is his tory, and they expect history to re- peat itself in November. We have the word of the Sage of Oyster Bay that "the titular national republican party today is the party of Barnes, Penrose, Guggenheim & Co.," and he ought to know. He certainly did pos sess, and probably still does, inside information.
