Literacy Test for Voting

The Senate passed the Dillingham; bill to limit immigration by means of a literacy test, but the House hesl- tates, and public sentiment is rapidly changing in relation to the bill.
 The right of political asylum is in volved-the right to seek a refuge here from the tyrannies of Russia and other lands. True, this leads to plots against other governments, but this has been the case both here and in England from time out of mind. What Kossuth and Garibaldi did other men will do, and no one will be apt to ob- feet unless it be Senator Root and the Dillinghams and Lodges of New Eng land.
 The Dillingham; bill proposes to ex- clude "all aliens over 16 years of age and physically capable of reading and writing who cannot read and write the English language or some other language" This would shut out many immigrants who would soon become useful citizens. If the country had better plan of distribution-if immi- grants were landed at other ports than New York, no objection to their coming here would arise. Better distribution and delay in naturaliza- tion would be better remidies. In other words the literacy test should arise when admission to citizenship is applied for and not to admission to residence in the country. If we apply it to the latter we turn our backs on our traditions and on thousands whose only crime is the plotting forfreedom against tyranny at home. We are not ready to stand for despotism and against liberty even to please some senator's.

Tax Increases in Jefferson

The increases in assessments for taxation purposes in Jefferson county aggregate $40, ,569,9 ,905. Following as this raise does a long period of indus- trial inactivity and low prices, it will be severely felt.
 Although on every hand prices of lands are going up in all parts of the state, yet it is safe to say that the increases in the rest of the state. in- clnding Montgomery and Mobile coun- ties, will not rise to a single million of dollars. The state tax commission ignores 66 counties in order to pile up increases in Jefferson. This is neither just nor fair. The increases in other counties may be small per individual, but If the assessments had been evenly and justly spread there would be no occasion for special raise in Jeffer- son county. It would involve more labor on the part of the state tax commission to apportion assessments evenly, and the desired increase in valuations was therefore unloaded on this county.
 The list of valuations published by tho stata tav com mai c cio,, ;c ,,o+ f;,oI and every corporation and citizen af- fected by it should test this raid to the extent of the law. Unless this be done other raids will occur, and the only way to stop them is to test each and every increase in the courts, es- while advancing property in other counties goes untouched.

VINCENT ASTOR

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 There is much moralizlng as to the handicap placed on Vincent Astor by the sudden possession of s125,000,0o0. It really ought not to be handicap at all. He is only 20 years old, but If he is a young American above mediocrity he will find the power that has come to him a pleas- ure and source of sane enjoyment.
 The Astor fortune. unlike most immense American accumulations of wealth, is composed almost wholly of real estate. As New York grows the value of the As tor property grows All that is necessary is to sit back calmly and enjoy the pro- ceeds.
 No one seems to know much about the young Astor. Certainly nothing detrimen- tai is urged against him. He may be a youngster of high ambitions. he may be of pronounced philanthropic propensities. he may be bent on a complete selfish en- joyment of the good things of the world. In any event the possession of the for tune will be no handicap. It will merely permit him to follow his natural bent to the limit of satiety. Inasmuch as happi- ness is the chief pursuit of humanity Vim cent Astor is blessed above other 20-year- olds by having the choice of paths so widely open to him. He may fail, he may be stranger to happiness, but his failure will be in spite of. and not be- cause of, the remarkable opportunity of fered him by the accidents of birth and death.

stronger in the Senate, the railroads or sense of justice.
 The bill presented by Senator Smith of South Carolina relates to cotton contracts instead of bills of lading. The Smith bill has been favorably re- ported by the committee on agricul- ture, and in every contract for the future delivery of cotton it would lim- 1t delivery to one grade above or be- low that contracted for and at diff ference in price to be fixed by the commercial difference that ruled on the day preceding settlement of the future contract. The passage of the Smith bill would make a future con tract as valuable as the cotton it rep resents. At present a seller can, un- der the rules of the New York cotton exchange, deliver the lowest grade which would naturally be unspinnable cotton. The New York cotton ex- change will oppose the Smith bill, and the fate of the bill will also determine which is the stronger in the Senate, the New York cotton exchange or plain honesty in cotton futures.

Chicago's New Ambition

Now that steel and iron have sup planted lumber as raw materials Chi cago has shifted it's activities. It is now as desirous of becoming a great steel center as it once was to be the country's chief lumber market. The forests have disappeared and Chicago is no longer great lumber market. It therefore proposes to become the great center of the iron and steel in- dustry. In addition to the huge plants at Gary, Indiana Harbor, South Chi cago and Joliet" says the Chicago News, another plant is soon to be constructed at Hammond, Ind, just outside of Chicago" and then it adds, "As in the case of the lumber trade, water transportation is the determin- ing factor in attracting the iron and steel business. Iron ore from the head of Lake Superior can be brought by
 
 water at small cost to the lower end of Lake Michigan, where the other articles entering into the manufactur- ing process can be assembled easily, and where the opportunities for dis tribution of the output are unsur- passed"
 The News passes lightly over "the other articles entering into the manu- facturing process" when in truth the coke needed is brought from Councils vile, Pa., which is at least 500 miles away, not by water but by rail. No coking coal exists in Illinois or h. diana, and but little in Ohio. The fuel consumed must therefore be car ried 500 miles, and it cannot be car ried on ore-bearing boats. Duluth has that advantage and Chicago has to trundle it's fuel over iron rails. Duluth, Conneant, Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsburg are all rivals of Chi cago, and any one of them has as good prospect for becoming "the great center of the iron and steel industry as Chicago has.

TAKES THE CAKE

From the washington Star.
 Senator Simmons was talking about Q boom.
 T congratulated him on his boom,'' said the senator, laughing, and he appeared astonished that I knew anything of it. gat I told him I had keen nose for booins, even for little ones. I explained that I was like the Newborn urchin.
 "A Newborn urchin used to call on Q certain old lady every Saturday after noon, and she would give him piece of eocoanut layer cake. But one Saturday. as she expected company for tea. she de- cided not to cut the cake, and therefore none was offered to the urchin.
 He said. plaintively, as the time came for him to go: a.a
 I believe I smell cocoanut layer cake.'
 ''TLe old lady laughed. went to the cupboard and cut him very tiny slice. When she gave 1t to him he thanked her and said:
 But it seems strange that I couf1 smell such a little piece. doesn't it?'

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 Aside from the abolition of the United States commerce court and the jesting of
 it's functions in the interstate commerce commission, the most sweeping change in the legislation recently put through the house at the instance of Oscar Under wood is the retention of the tariff board idea under greatly improved circum- stances. This departure is. bound, If en- acted into law. to exert a profound and creative influence upon the democratic tariff programme. The Underwood plan recognizes the benefits in the tariff board project of the republicans. but remedies one of its most salient defects and ma | terially cuts down the expense of its ad- ministration.
 Instead of maintaining, as do now the republicans, body of men more or less expert in knowledge of trade and indus | trial conditions at home and abroad, the democratic measure. creates bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, directly under the jurisdiction of the secretary of commerce and labor The republican tariff board reports its findings directly to the President. and the latter can give to Congress and the country as much or as little information as his judgment or partisan exigencies dictate.
 The democratic bureau of foreign and domestic commerce studies and investi- gates conditions here and abroad, but its information is available to either house of n pragidapt There is no opportunity for juggling facts or statistics or coloring data to suit the purposes of political capital. An addi- tional advantage is that the new bureau would absorb several other of the activ!- ties of two or three federal departments, thus doing away with duplicated functions and effecting perceptible economies.
 It has heretofore been charged against the congressional plan of tariff making that it is a matter of log rolling, pure and simple, the schedules being lowered or raised without deliberation or infor- nation and wholly without reference to differing industrial and econominc condi- tions In this and other countries. The method devised by MT. Underwood and his associates cuts the ground from under this objection, makes the findings of ex- perts available to the public as well as to the President and saves public money being expended without any proportion-, ate return.
 Other features of the reconstructive pro- gramme of the democrats will commend themselves to national approval. But those relating to the United States court of commerce and to the gathering and compilation of tariff statistics easily take precedence.

From Case and Comment.
 XVl HAT is believed to have been the
 Nx/ first demonstration in a court of
 W justice of the Munsterberg theory of criminal detection by heart pull sations took place not long ago in a Cal ifornia court. The demonstration ended in the discharge of Arthur Smnth, metal worker, who had been arrested as sus- pioious character.
 The theory and the proposed test were explained to the prisoner, who readily consented to be a party to the eXperl- ment The stethoscope was adjusted and his normal pulse was tested and found to be 79 beats a minute.
 Certain words were then spoken to the prisoner, who was asked to reply to each with a word suggested by the one asked This was done for the purpose of testing tho claim of Professor Munsterberg that words spoken to men under arrest, espe- cially those pertaining to the crime with which they might be charged, would cause them embarrassment in answering and would produce accelerated action of the heart.
 The word San Quentin, where the pris- oner was suspected of having served a term, caused no acceleration of the heart and demonstrated his innocence according to the theory.
 When interrogated as to his assumed name of James Smithers his heart action increased to 91 beats minute. On being charged with not having told the truth in this particular the prisoner gave his correct name and address.
 If an actual photograph of the heart ac- tion is desired it may be obtained by the aid of a machine which Dr. b. A. New ton, a German scientist, is said to nave invented. It portrays accurately the pull sations of the heart muscles and tho ac- tion of the valves and discloses all IT,. regularities, however slight. Accelerated action of the heart resulting from the emotion of fear arising from guilt would

Prices of Beef and Pork

The housewives could in a week s time-certainly in two weeks time upset the beef trust by confining their households to eggs and fish and the early vegetables with which the mar kets are filled. Joint action may be impossible, but if it were possible the triumphant beef trust which the gov ernment is unable to restrain or pun ish, would be brought to terms at once.
 The physicians agree that the peo- pie of America eat too much meat. A spell of vegetarianism would be bet ter for them. For that matter no nation has accomplished as much in 50 years as have the rice and fish eating Japanese. They have shown more vigor and hardihood in both peace and war than any meat eating nation.
 The beef trust would cease to ad- vance prices if it saw that the coun- try is determined to adopt vessta- rian diet for, say, two weeks, varied only by strictly home products. The exploiting of consumers will, how ever, go on, but point will at last be reached when the people in this country will become at least semi vegetarian. This seems to be the only remedy that is feasible, because 90,- 100000 of people cannot be induced to act together even to bring the beef trust to its knees.

A Beautiful Playground

''The prettiest playground for children I have ever seen Is East Lake park" said Percy Clark.
 Just at this time the prospect of water, green grass. flowers, trees and musical birds Is most pleasing and inviting. Then, too. the general overhauling of buildings, new coats of paint and whitewash has given an air of freshness that Is exhili- rating and inspiring. The picnic pavilion Is already drawing pleasant parties, some of whom enjoy the fishing, which, by the way. Is fine for Dream just now. I took a two pound trout a few days ago with the troll.
 "One of the most novel and interesting sights l have ever seen is the playing of the big carp in the early morning about sunrise. They plough through the waters making miniature pillows and exposing their brown backs, They chase the trout, and I've seen large trout jump up out of the water when pursued by them. A few days ago two carp were taken that weighed IS and 19 pounds respectively and one about six pounds.
 "The skating rink has been completely overhauled, the floor replaned. In the cleaning two wagon loads of old birds nests were taken from the caves. the new nests were not disturbed"

The Survey NIagazIne

Graham Romeyn Taylor, representa- tive of the Survey, the well known and es- teemed Journal of constructive philan- thropy,' is in Birmingham. He is the son of Graham Taylor of Chicago, of the Survey staff. one of the most prominent men in sociological journalism.
 T attended the sociological congress in Tennessee. and was very much impressed with the general interest manifested in 1t" said Mr. Taylor. T am taking a lit tie trip through the south now for the purpose of working up interest in the Survey. Our periodical is, as all our friends know, a philanthropic, rather than commercial enterprise. It's price is only g a year, and as it's contributors are among the best writers, the subscrip- tion price is considered quite small.
 Jane Addams, who has recently been added to the editorial staff of the Sur vey. will of course be greatly appreciated by the general public.
 Birmingham is one of the most inter esting cities from a sociological point of view in this country. It is seen at a glance that it is growing rapidly. Many complex problems in sociological work are presented here, and to the student this is a sihguarly inviting field.''

Phil MemoIi Returns

Phil Memoli. the well known musician, arrived in Birmingham yesterday after an absence abroad of three years. He aud his family have spent most of that time in Italy. MT. Memoi while studying mu- sic held the position of conductor of large municipal band at Serino.
 T am glad to be back in Birmingham said Mir. Memoli last night. My wife and l enjoyed our sojourn In Italy, and put in some hard work studying theory and composition under able masters. Mu- sieal standards in Italy are very high. In order to be called a musician there one must be able to write music grammatically and must have a good collateral education besides. A band conductor in Naples, Rome and other cities must not only be a score reader. but he must be able to interpret classic music authoritatively. A part of my work consisted in taking Beethovens piano sonatas and orches- trating them and afterward arranging them for wind band.
 The modern brass and reed band in Italy has some instruments that are scarcely heard of in this country. The contralto clarinet, for instance, is now employed for adding color to modern tone poems"
 MT. Memoli and his family are stopping for the preesnt with simon Jones at 160o Eighth avenue, north.
