though they aim to vote for Taft or

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Democratic Victory Predicted

"All the democrats that I meet are full of the idea that Wilson and Mar shall will sweep the country in Mo- vember," said Jacob F. Warner of Pittsburg.
 T have recently spent a good deal of time in New England and in New York state, and I have never known as much enthusiasm among democrats as there is at present, and I have been a voter since 1880.
 , Another significant thing is that the republicans do not appear to be hope full of re-electing President Taft. Of course it will not do for the demo- crats to be over confident, but I have not met a republican yet who seemed to be willing to bet that MT. Taft would succeed himself.
 T see from the newspapers that an effort will be made by the democrats to get electoral votes in the west. Such en effort may be worth while. but after all we must carry New York and some of the other eastern states in order to assure victory"

March 1, 1910, because the Illipois legislature of 1909 did not fill it. Nothing short of an extra session of the legislature can fill it now.
 Illinois may be said to bd paired with Colorado. The seat of the late Senator Hughes of Colorado has never been filled, owing to factional quar- rels in the democratic party. If llll- nois will continue to consider that she is paired with Colorado, neither party will have reason to complain so far as the control of the Senate is con- cerned.
 Governor Deneen is always ready, however, to call an extra session of the legislature, and he may conclude to fill the seat in that way. The Colo rado democrats do not seem to desire representation nearly so much as they desire to quarrel among themselves.

MUSIC AND EDUCATION

etc, keeps the mind in a state of com stant alertness analogous to the kind ne- cessitated in the solution of a geometrical theorem. And what could be more con- ducive to healthfu and invigorating men, tai gymnastics than the science of instru- mentation. in which the divers capabilities of c large group of instruments have si- multaneously to be kept in mind?
 But the usefulness of music as a source of relentless mental training does not stop at this. There are to be considered not only questions of the logic and mathemat- ical exactitude of each succeeding step, but also those of artistic selection. For the composer, unlike the geometrician, has at his disposal as many ways o6 solv- ing his problems as his ingenuity and sense of beauty or fitness may dictate. It Is left to him to determine what especial harmonization, what particular leading of voices, what device of meditation, what color resulting from some particularized instrumental combination best suits his purpose at this moment and again at an- other. And truly to achieve it's purpose his selection may have nothing of the haphazard or fortutous about 1t. It can result only from deep laid thought, from adherence to the canons of artistic pro- priety as he conceives them.
 Some day, 1t is to be hoped, educators will realize the immense field for mental development and the simultaneous culti- vation of artistic taste inherent in the study of musical theory. And when this condition, which still appears somewhat utopian, is brought about, the status of music in our institutions of learning will be immeasurably above what 1t is at press ent, with the added consequence that the advantages of musical culture will be far more extensively diffused than is the case today.

Concerning Slang

'I am far from being purist, but l believe in reasonably good English, said a professional man. Some of our colloqual or slangy words will find their way into the dictionary. A good deal of current slang Is not only humor- ous, but singularly expressive; yet chil- dren, and especially yoIng men at col lege, should not be allowed to form the habit of using slang.
 Southern schools and colleges, as a rule, now give more attention to the Eng fish course than formerly. There have always been high-class schools that turned out good grammarians, but have known young men with college degrees who all but murdered the Kings English In the past few years, however. the ruls has been for colleges to teach students to write excellent English as we'll as speak it.
 While slang Is often amusing it wearies one to hear graduates indulge freely In slang phrases. An old educator in refer ring to this matter recently accounted for the growing use of slang among college-bred boys by referring to the idea that it was American; that boy would not be typically American unless he had q large slang vocabulary-a false notion.

crons and the stock Market

Henry Clews in his Saturday Review says in part:
 e'The prime factor in our business situa- tion at the moment is the splendid crop outlook. Wheat has been doing particu- larly well. The result has been decline of about 17c per bushel during the past month, and the outlook is for a yield of about 7Oo.oO0, eco bushels, compared with 62l ,O00O0o last year, provided no injury occurs during the next 10 days. The only crops of importance concerning which there is any uncertainty are corn and cotton Both are late. tut have re- covered much of the lost ground. Their present outlook is for very large yield, but both crops have number of weeks 10 run before maturity. August is usual ly a month of deterioration for both of these crops. whose chief danger is early frost Fortunately there Is ample margin in present conditions to secure a full average yield if nothing more than ordi- nary deterioration occurs. The outlook agriculturally. therefore is rminently sat isfactory; and once more the farmers who must still be considered the backbone of the country are assured profitable her- vest.
 'The outlook is for an irregular market. No very pronounced recessions are to be

HEADLINE ENGLISH

 Headline English bars, bans, hits. Hays, hats, wires. bolts, ousts and does many ether like brief and breezy feats, put it does them in season and out ot season, gram1natically or ungrammat- ically. Headline English is a language of little words which have consented to be tortured into availability for hundreds of situations for which they were not in tended. It has only one tense; it fiouts all rules, and ignores all propositions, ar ticles and advcrbs. The headline writer is tr suuet % as much of a narrative as possible into the exact number of char aeters that the width of a column re- quil cs. otherwise no doubt worthy melnher Of siicicty. ne headline writer is hy profession alf Assassin of Englisn. ,n anarchist, aH'! a ta~ruptor of mora,s Yet his wCrll is mora widely read than that of any cther~v,itcr.

Cotton QuotntIons

1T was rather amused when reading in the daily papers of cotton quota tions at interior points. that middling cotton could be bought at 12ss cents, said a man who was formerly in the business.
 Tt Is passing strange that these Take figures are given out, when 1t Is a fact that mills and buyers are offering 13 cents for such plantation lots as they can find unsold. A lawyer farmer, who resides here In Birming- ham, but who has a farm in Butler county, was offered 1S cents per pound for PCT bales of the last crop now stored in Greenvile, and this by two cotton mills. He has about decided to sell, as the difference between cents offered the early part of the cotton season and the price now offered, nets s20 per bale. after allowing, say s5 per bale, for warehouse charges, in- surance and loss in weight.
 "rhe educative benefits of the propa- ganda started among farmers few years ago has borne good fruit in very practical way. Some few years ago the crops of 10.000,oO0 to 12,00o,OO0 bales brought about cents; today we see a crop estimated at f6,Ooo,0oo bales bringing, at the tail end of the sea <, son, 13 cents, and but little offering. And the bulk of the crop was market ed around II cents. Then, too, the seed question enters into the profit side or the question also. A few years ago seed was selling for ss to s1o per ton. I am told by cotton oil mill man that the seed of the current crop sold around $20 per ton. There Is about half ton of seed to the average bale
 "rhe development of the cotton seed oil business has brought quite an addl- ton to the lint crop as compared 10 many years ago. On the seed coming from the gin, short fibre remains This Is removed by special machinery and is known as linters. It Is used Tor batting, upholstering and making mat tresses. It is not spinnable and brings about half the price of the full staple cotton"

The State Land Congress

The Alabama Land Congress, to be held in Mobile under the auspices of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce and Business league, November 12, 13 and IA. should be, and doubtless will be, largely attended. Every well organized Commercial, industrial and agricultu- ral body in the state will be repre- sented. Leading Alabamians will take part in the proceedings, and several distinguished men from outside the state have accepted invitations to be present and make addresses.
 Mobile is "The Gateway to Pana- ma," and as such, is coming to be more and more in the public view. The purpose of the land congress is to bring out discussion of the states S varied and rich resources, and to pro mote development of every sort. It should result in the enhancement of land values in every part of the state
 Alabama has long been noted for it's cotton production. Any state that can produce upwards of 1,bO0,0O0 bales of cotton may be accounted prosperous; but in addition to it's large cotton production Alabama is coming forward rapidly as great corn state. A few years ago this state was a buyer of corn. Its corn crop this year will be larger than in any previous year. and at the rate that farmers are pushing ahead it will be only a few years when corn, like cotton, will be most important money crop. In other words, Alabama will be great seller of corn instead of buyer.
 Horticulture, within the past 10 years, has grown to be an important industry in Alabama. Land values are naturally affected by all this re- cent development. Not only have farm lands increased in value but in five years from now there is hardly an acre that will not double in market value.
 The congress at Mobile will exploit in a legitimate and business-like way the splendid opportunities that are presented for industrious and intel ligent home seekers. If the gathering is as representative as it promises to be it will have far-reaching results.
