Orators Past and Present

Governor Wilson is an excellent stump speaker, but he seems to be convinced that the people are tired of undignified stump speaking on the part of presidential candidates. He seems inclined to turn the talking in his campaign over to MT. Underwood, Speaker Clark, William J. Bryan, Sen ator Ollie James, Governor Marshall, Senator Gore and other democrats of national prominence. Representative democrats from every state, including Governor O'Neal, are being asked to take hand in the Wilson campaign
 Before the days of Bryan and Roosevelt presidential candidates did not go about the country talking from the tail end of cars or from impro- vised stumps. There was dignity in those campaigns that measured up to the dignity of the great office, and the country will welcome the return of former customs.
 No doubt Governor Wilson will de- liver enough addresses to make his position on all public questions clear and definite and unprecedented, but he will swing around no circles and he will not endeavor to reach every state, or in fact any state, where he is not needed because he has been misun- derstood.
 There will, however, be plenty of good speakers in the field, and no democratic meeting will be lacking in that respect. Only two full months of the campaign remain, and public meet ings will be held in every contested state and in every county in them in September and October.

sUPERFLUOus WEALTH
om the Washlngton Star.

From the Washington Star.
 Woodrow Wilson, at a dinner at Spring Lake, said of the multimillonaire:
 ''After all, most of his wealth is super fuous When l think of multimillion- aires millions, 1 am reminded of a story about Gobsa Golde.
 "1 have four English men servants said Gobsa Golde, on the terrace of his marble cottage at Newport-four English men servants whose sole duty is to look after my sea bathing.
 .'He cleared his throat pompously and continued;
 !" The first has charge of my bathing suits and the second takes care of the bath houses and the showers, and Sthe third, in a small boat, acts as kind of lifeguard to me
 But the fourtil-what does tho fourth do? listener asked.
 oh, he takes my bath. Sea bathing always has a depressing effect on my heart

Liquor statistics

From the government statistics 1t IS seen that more whisky per capita was consumed in the United States during the year 1911 than in any previous year. and in the same length of time a de- crease of more than 100000 barrels in the sales of beer was recorded" said an observer.
 why should the sale of whisky in- crease and that of beer show de- cided falling off in 1911? The cause can he attributed chiefly to the prohibition movement which was comparatively successful throughout that year in shut ting off in some states the legalized sale of intoxicating drinks.
 Tn prohibition states beer. being cum bersome with small margin of profit in it's sale, was not handled by the blind tigers. and therefore we have the defiei; in sales from previous years. Bat with whisky it was different. Enough to in- tcxicate several men can be conveniently concealed about the person of the blind tiger, and it's cheap quality brings an enormous profit and here, I believe, we have the cause of the increase in drunk enness and whisky drinking.
 Tn certain states in which prohibition has been tried, drunkenness has shown an alarming increase, and blind tigers and brothel keepers have grown rich in their nefarious traffic.

THE SHAKESPEARE MYTH"

peare signatures, Sir Edwin expends two and a half pages-showing that tbese were in reality from the pen of sundry law clerks.
 No scrap of writing is in existence, says he, which can by any possibility b. supposed to have been written by Will liam Shakespeare, excepting only the six ! A(so-called) signatures. And, since every one of these supposed signature is un- doubtedly written by law clerk the in- ference that William Shakespeare Of ratford-upon-Avon, Gentleman, was tot ally unable to write, seems to be ncon- troyertible."
 The remainder of the pamphlet is devot- ed to a careful explanation of the mystic number '53' This mark you, is the key to the hidden signatures of Bacon, mod estly buried in remote parts of the text of the Folio of Plays of 1623. The Folio Is divided into three sections. each sepa- rately numbered-Comedies, Histories anG Tragedies. On the fifty-third page of Comedies, in 'The Merry Wives or Wind sor," a conversation takes place between Dame Quickly and Evans, the Welsh schoolmaster. Says Dame Quickly: Hang hog, is latten for Bacon, 1 warrant you.' There you have it! Bacon-Hog Hog Bacon. It's "as plain as mud On page 53 of the Histories, there is a similar re- markable "coincidence.
 The third appearance of the ham refer- ence is, unfortunately. not on the really truly page 53 of the Tragedies. No, in- deed, that would be too easy. But, if you will count backward, Chinese fashion, 53 pages from the end of the Folio, you will -osIO puB HuoWuv, Jo lx9l 9ql uI pup patra,' three words, one below the other. These are "Pompey," fin" and got" Do yoii catch the drift? Why, the initial let ters spell "P-i-gi' And pig, of course, means Bacon--or should. The first two eases were easy to find; concerning the third, the initiated will know" says Sir Edwin, "that the great Master Mason will supply two visible pillars. but that the third pillar will be the invisible pillar, the Shibboleth."
 The Tempest is over," says Sir Ed win. in conclusion, 'the false crown of the stage has been torn from the head of the dummy that appeared to wear it. Q. F.. D.. as the geometry books say. One is inadvertently reminded, however, of passage by poor Win Shakespeare in Much Ado About Nothing:
 "A very dull fool; only his gift IS in devising impossible islanders"
 Or, maybe, it was Lord Bacon who wrote it. HIVE.

KNEW THE SIGNS

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 Bob Hull. the champion story teller of Savannah, had occasion lately to take a business trip into interior Geor- ga. He took his golf clubs with him, intending to stop on his way back for a match on the famous links at Au- gusta.
 He dropped off the train at his busi- ness destination--a small town on a branch road-and carrying his luggage climbed into an ancient hack and bade the driver, who was an old negro man, take him to the local hotel.
 The negro eyed the queer-looking leather bag that his passenger carried with the peculiar looking sticks in it. His curiosity got the best of him finally.
 Boss he began, please, suh, scuse me--but mout l ax you question:"
 Go ahead and ask" said MT. Hull
 "Whut kind of lodge is you institu- tin?"

DOCTOR WHO SENT NO BILLS

From the St Louis Post Dispatch. Months after the death of Dr. Joseph Dawson, physician, who is said never to
 have made a charge for his services, Wauconda, IL. is beginning to appre-
 ciate him, and has planned a monument to his memory.
 The townspeople will not inquire too closely into the reason why the doctor left wife and family in the far west and they are indifferent to his career prior to his coming among them. In Wauconda his life was regulated as if he were under the monastic vows of poverty and of obedience to dutv What
 was given him, he took uncomplainly. | it is said If nothing was paid him. 1t was all the same. He was cheerful under the impositions inseparable from the medical mans lot, lived simply with
 only dog companion, and as family
 physician gave of his skill as readily without reward as though sure of s2 @ call.
 Dr. Dawson must be set down as one
 who loved his fellow man. He has
 earned monument Unselish as the
 medical profession is, cases such as his are rare. Philanthropic workers who devote their lives to general ameliora- tive effort would find their capacity for usefulness and influence over others greatly increased by a knowledge of
 medicine and surgery. Strangely
 enough. this does not seem to be recog-
 nized in the home field, though it is to some extent in the foreign field | But with a pr. Dawson in every con
 siderable community how long would
 he preserve his ethical standing? In
 what difficulties might he not involve
 himself with his fellow practitioners ?
 How many of those fellow practition-
 CTS would join in building him monu- ment after'his death?

Landslide for Wilson

R. W. Hawthorne, general agent of the Georgia Manufacturing company, with headquarters in New York, has just re- turned to Birmingham after trip of six weeks through the north and west. during which time he covered 23 states.
 It looks like a Wilson landslide" said Mir. Hawthorne. My work brings me in contact with the largest iobbers, and as have always taken keen interest in poli- tics, I always make it point to get in touch with prominent politicians In the states l visit.
 T feel sorry for Taft It actually looks as though he will not get state outside of New England Roosevelt will carry nine or ten states. practically all in the west, and he will make good showing in Pennsylvania. Among the states Ss will carry are Kansas California, North Dakota and Montana. He will run Wilson very close in Missouri. This is really a doubtful state. He also has good chance in Washington.
 But outside of these few western states everything is for Wilson. l never saw anything like it. It looks as if it might be the greatest landslide in our history. He will easily carry Wisconsin and iowa. Seems surprising doesn't 1t? Indiana is absolutely safe for him.
 Tn fact, unless there Is a revolution in. politics between now and November, Will son will leave scarcely enough for Taft and Roosevelt to be worth counting.
 ''While I was away this trip met some fine men Governor Stubbs of Kansas is a remarkably strong man, and his infu- ence will swing Kansas overwhelmingly for Roosevelt. Governor Johnson of Cali fornia is another striking man. He is a much finer speaker than Roosevelt. and if seems shame that a man of his char acteEAnd ability feels compelled to desert his partyn

Mir. Underwood a National Figure

Not only is MT. Underwood's repu- tation as leader rapidly increasing throughout the country, but there is a feeling among all members of his party that his services are invalua- ble and cannot be spared The fact that he is to remain majority leader is
 gratifying to all friends of the incom-
 ing Wilson administration, for no one Acan be found to take his place in an adeouate manner when the time comes to revise the tariff to revenue basis.
 The greatness of the tariff issue ia everywhere recognized. Mr. Roose- welt is as much of protectionist as MT. Taft himself. The former wants a great deal of tariff loot and he savs he wants more hands in the bag. sThe Taft reactionaries stand for the Payne-Aldrich law first, last and al- ways, and the democrats alone stand for a revenue tariff regardless of the tariff barons. fhey alone stand against all privilege and favor. They want tariff within the terms of the

Tn. Active Iron Market

Birmingham iron is beginning to sell for 1913 delivery at SIS on No. ? basis.
 In the early part of this year it was generally felt that iron would advance to s11, and probably $11.5o before the end of the year, but Birmingham iron was selling at SIP two or three weeks ago. and it will soon harden at s12.5o for immediate delivery.
 1t looks today as If No. iron would reach a s14 level before the end of the year. When the market started to ad- vance the upward tendency was slow. It has now reached the point where the advance is rapid, and there is danger of runaway market. Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report for this week says in part:
 Capacity business continues the or der of the day with increasing pres sure on furnaces for quotations for 1913. The market is active in all dis tricts and sales during the week have been at record figures for tonnage. Prices are strong with advancing ten dency and are now at higher level at most points than was recorded a week ago.
 The political situation and appraeh- ing elections appear to have less than usual effect on industrial conditions. The Fundamental demands of the coun- try are such now that the present ad- vance and future expected continuance are both natural results in our indus trial system and the several outside influences which heretofore have had their effect arc losing their power dur ing the present year and are not eN- pected ever again to have the old time sway.

The County's Population

Jefferson county's school population recently counted totals nearly 72,000. The enumeration of children of school age was completed two or three weeks ago, but County Superintendent l. w. McAdory has not made an official an- nouncement because of a slight dis crepancy in one precinct.
 The school census was very care fully taken. The figures tabulated in the county superintendent office are VI FPS, but it may be that POO will be added to that total. The school popu- lation multiplied by 31a gives ap- proximately the entire population As has been stated repeatedly, BE is re- garded by statisticians as very con servative multiplier; therefore with 71.728 children of school age, Jeffer- son county has a total population Of 251 ,448. This shows large increase over the census population of 1910, when Jefferson county was credited with 226,476. 93
 The school census of the city of Birmingham indicates a population of 152.O0O-an increase of 10000 in two years. The growth of the county, large though it be, is not so large relatively as the city's growth, but 1t is highly satisfactory. From a gen. eral observation of the industrial field the greatest rate of growth in Jeff ferson has been within the last twelve months. Labor is in great demand and all newcomers are welcomed.
 It is safe to say that Birmingham growth in this decade will be doubled and that something of the sort will happen to Jefferson county.

constitution, framed for revenue pur- poses only.
 This is the great task that is to be laid on MT. Underwood's shoulders in the Sixty-third Congress, and great CT task has not since the war been laid on any man. The era for the protec- tion of the profits of few at the ex- pense of the many is to be ended, and to the gigantic task our representative brings more practical knowledge and political sense than perhaps any other man in public life can command. This may be saying a great deal, but it is not saying too much, for the mem- Der from Alabama has given twenty of the best years of his life to the tariff and related economic problems.

From tho St Louis. Globe Democrat.
 This is the name of book wrought out of the imaginative mind of writer of fiction few years ago. The badge it showed was not nearly so red as that shown one day last week by Virginia judge, Skeen. Judge skeen had been designated by the governor to go to Jonesvile and preside at the trials of more than 100 men indicted for vote selling, including a number of the most prominent citizens, and one preacher. Threats had been made that any judge consenting to preside, try and sentence any accused persons found guilty would meet the fate which overlook Judge Massie in sem tencing Floyd Allen at Hillsvile.
 The governor offered to send militia to Jonesville with Judge Skeen, but he refused to be bodyguarded. Going to Jonesville alone, he called all of the cases docketed, sentenced to imprison- ment of fine, or to both, and to disfran- chisement, 43 of the indicted who had confessed, and half a dozen who had been tried and found guilty. The courtroom was crowded throughout the entire proceedings with armed men, who listened to the conviction and sen tencing of their clansmen with in- ward raging, but without outward pro- test. At the end of the term the judge walked away from the courthouse alone, without looking back or showing the slightest sign of trepidation. Shallows which had once murmured had become deeps that were dumb
 T know those men," the judge had said to the governor in refusing an escort of troops. He knew them to be men reckless of all human life, includ- ing their own lives Any man know ing them at all knows that. But this man must have known them, not as mountaineers only, but as a part of humanity, and, as such a part, to be impressed to the point of being over awed by a calm, cool courage, which takes the greatest risks and braves the most threatening dangers, at odds im- possible to be overcome. looking into the face of imminent death and defy ing 1t in righteous causes. Bad men, in bad causes, can sometimes do this. But they can never stay the hands or paralyze the arms of the men over against them. That is the weakness of the cause and not the weakness of the man. when a man is armed with righteousness, and such fine courage as that of this Virginia judge. he can face battalion of desperadoes and overcome them by the combined power of one soul strong in right and strong in courage. There is not much of a psychological puzzle about this. Two things are needed, a righteous cause and man willing to die for 1t. That's all, except that both are rare.
