WHERE GIRLS SHOULD START

When a girl asks for counsel-there
is only one brand of advice TO offer.
First let her make a beginning in her
own community. No matter how
small her town is, there is sure to
be a little store where she can get
some idea of business. A year Ur
two spent in waiting on customers, Ia
making change and caring for bills

which is a handicap in the city. She
can qualify as a stenographer in
the office of some country lawyer
or village factory. She can learn teleg-

bookkeeping, library work or Journal

Washington, ID. c., July .,
The Republican Press of the coun-

candidacy of Gov. Woodrow Wilson as
IL appeared to be before his nomi-
nation. Already he is coming in for
considerable criticism and some rathci
uncomplimentary epithets are be-
ing used. His chief offense seems
TO be that be was for quite a while

dent. Those who favor the election
of n politician to the Presidency,
whether he be Mr.. TAFT or Mr.. Roose-
welt, are beginning to think that 1t
would be a disgrace to elevate a
College President TO that place, and
will soon be confirmed in their con-
viction, of course, as the campaign
advances.
An effort is also being made To
show that while Gov. Wilson was
nominated in opposition to the bosses
he has welcomed them back into
the game and will allow them To
manage his campaign.
This is all a part of the political
game and the disgusting part.
Meanwhile, the Governor announces
that the high cost of living and tariff
reform will be the chief campaign is

The Louisville Post is back In the

its support OF Gov. Wilson, the Demo
cratic presidential nominee. The
rost has been an independent pa
per for many years. but while in
dependent has usually supported the
Republican tickets and Republican
policies. presumably thinking them
better than those of the opposing
party. For some time. however, the
Post has been bitterly opposed 10
the TAFT administration and to Sen.

while the law and medicine are

THIRD PARTY CONVENTION
CALLED
Dison's Horn Toots Loud-Back to
Chicago.
New York, July Z.

New 1Ork, July O.
The Roosevelt movement is begin
ming TO assume definite shape, a
call having been issued today by
Senator Dixon, who headed the CAM
paign of MIR. Roosevelt in opposition
to the President, for a meeting Of
all progressives in a national con-
yention at Chicago, Aug. 9TH.
Territories arc not invited to partic-
ipate since they have no ELECTORAL
vote, but strange to say. delegates
are sought from the rotten Dor
cugh" states in the South.
The call is signed by representa-
tives of 40 of the As states, Maine,
Delaware, North Carolina, Arkansas,
Nevada, Mississippi and South Caro-
lima and Idaho not being represent
ed. Kentucky is represented by Les
lie Combs.
The call is to all without regard
to past political differences:
First, who believe that both great
parties have betrayed the people:
Second, who believe the time has
come for a matte nal progressive move
ment:
Third, who believe in the right
end capacity of the people to rule.
Fourth, who believe that govern
ment by the few tends to become
and has become government by the
interests.
Fifth, who believe that only thru
such movement can such national
and state legislation be secured as
improved industrial evolution d.
mands.
Sixth, who believe that only whole
some party government can be Sc
cured by wholesome party manage
ment.
The slogan of the convention Is
to be Thou shalt not steal which,
OF course, no one will decry and
all will favor. But it should be 50
reed and so applied as to mean 1--WE
shall not steal even II We get a
chance" as well as Thou shalt not
steal from us"
In the list of names signatory 20
the call, the most prominent sup
porters of the ES-President in the
Chicago Convention, such as Senator
Rorah, Gov. Hadley, Gov. Deneen,
Gov. Aldrich of Neb., Gov. GlasscocK
OF West Va. and Gov. Osborne, all
are wanting, the latter, however,
having declared himself for Wood
row Wilson.
From the above list it Is evident
there has been a great falling Off
since the Chicago Convention, but
the new movement comforts itself
by the hope that two will be gained
where one has been lost.
1t is a good movement If 1t IS
honest, but to begin with it meets
the opposition of true progressives,
If Senator LaFollette and Senator
Cummins are to be called progress
ives, Senator LaFollette loudly de-
handing that Mr.. Roosevelt publish
his campaign expense account and
Senator Cummins justifying himself
for not falling into the movement by
the statement that bosses will be
found in all parties, and it is more
incumbent upon him to fight the
bosses of the Republican party than
to join the new movement and give
way to the bosses in the one and
provide for them in the other.

the Revolutionsts now is to reach

HOW CURRENCY CAN
 AFFECT RELIGION
New York Man Objects to Three Cent Coinage
 Law

Washington, May 17.-(Special.)-It is a familiar argument with campaign ora tors that laws affecting the currency touch vitally every dollar of wealth in the country, but 1t remained for a New York man to point out in a letter to Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee, how coinage affects religion
 If his view is correct the number of miss ionaries in the foreign field may have to be curtailed and the average salaries oe preachers in the United States, which is now only $500 a year, may be further cut if the three cent coinage bill goes into effect.
 The street car companies and tele- phone companies may suffer loss under this bill, and existing steel machines may be put out of commission, but have you thought of the latitude this new coin will give to the stingy man when the collec- ton basket is passed. Now few persons dare to put copper coins in the collection plate, and drop in a nickel instead If this new three cent piece is coined the church collections from these people will decf ease greatly. The pastor of churches have an interest in this bill which must not be overlooked"
 The clerk of the finance committee would not give the name of the author but said he was a man from upsSate New York.

ID HOLD MEETING WHEN HE PANAMA
 CANAL IS OPENED

Washington. May t7.-tSpecial.)-Th Southern Commercial congress executive officers today decided to have the 1913 an- nual convention coincide with the opening of the Panama canal.
 The convention of the congress will be held in Mobile, Ala, and the chamber of commerce of that city in outlining plans for the convention has asked that the life and services of the late Senator John P. Morgan be particularly recog- nized. Senator Morgan for several de- cades was the most persistent American statesman advocating an isthmian canal De died d few years after the final steps regarding the building of the Panama canal had been taken by the United States
 The executive offices also decided that it's great 1913 convention should use the completion of the Panama canal as q means of impressing on the nation the importance of southern ports, viewed ffcm the standpoint of greater commerce yet to be made possible through the ca Eal.
 The commercial and history will se blended in the celebration, for Mobile has been under five flags, and the vicin- ity has it's place in American history from th@ year 15i0, when De Soto fought the battle of Maubila. near the river above Mobile The city has been under French British, Spanish, Confederate and United States sovereignty.

TRIAL OF ITALIAN
 BARON IS BEGUN

Rome, May 17.-The trial of Baron Vincenzo Paterno, former cavalry lieutenant in the Italian army, who, on March 2. 1911, murdered Princess Guila Trigona di Sant Ella, lady in waiting to Queen Helena, and afterward at tempted to commit suicide, was begun today before the assize court
 Lawyers for the defense are endeav- bring to obtain postponement of the trial so that the accused may be ex- amined by experts and his mental con dition established. They also insist on the calling of the Duke Aosta, the Count of Turin, the minister of war and the under secretary for foreign af- fairs as witnesses. The presiding judge has refused the latter demand.
 The entrance of the prisoner Paterno in court caused a sensation. He is a living wreck and absolutely unrecog- nizable. Every movement he made was an effort to conceal his face from the plblic.
 The court has decided to try the case behind closed doors.

Will Warn Vessels of Ice bergs With Her Power

 Washington, May 17.-To guard transatlantic steamers from the dan ger of ice in the lanes Secretary Meyer of the navy department today started patrol service. He ordered the scout cruiser Birmingham to the southward of the course to noEfy steamers with her powerful wireless system of the position of the icebergs the same as a iightship.
 In spite of two recent changes in the steamer routes, which are said to place them more than 25O miles south ward of the old lanes. it is felt there still is danger of icebergs. It is scarcely practicable to divert the liners further southward without serious de- lay in the time of transit across the Atlantic.
 If successful results attend the ex- pertinent it is highly probable that the United States will take steps to ob tain an international patrol of the dan ger zone.
 The Birmingham is at the Philadel- phla navy yard taking on as much coal as she can carry She will try to de- termne the southern, eastern and west ern limits of the ice pack and will send out wireless signals at frequent inter Vals, giving t\a latitude and longitude of icebergs in the vicinity of the steam ship lanes As the Birmingham's radio outfit is calculated to transmit signals at least 1000 miles, she should be able to give ample warning of danger. If 1t appears from the first few days work that. the results justify con- tinuance of this patrol probably it will be maintained continuously until the ice season is over by the addition of the Birmngham's sister ships. the Chester and Salem.

 QUELL SOCIALISTS

Berlin. May 1.-The imperial chancellor Dr. von Bethmann-H Hollweg today in the reichstag resorted to an unusual means of protesting against sharp attack by the socialist, Philipp Scheidemann, upon the Emperor. Referring to the recent threat made by Emperor William at banquet in Strassburg, that he would in- corporate Lorraine into Prussia, Herr Scheidemann said:
 We regard it as momentous confess sion when from competent source in- corporation into Prussia is threatened as the most severe punishment that can be inflicted upon people,
 Herr Schedemann's words called forth storms of protest and cries of shame from the conservative benches.
 The imperial chancellor rose excitedly from his seat and gave a sign to other members of the government upon which they all walked out of the house. A large number of the conservative mem- bers followed their example.

COMMENCEMENT AT
 THE DAPHNE NORMAL
Baccalaureate Sermon May 26 by the Rev. J. s.
 Lambert

Daphne, May 17-(Special. )-Com- mencement week at the Daphne State Normal school begins Sunday. May 26, sermon will be preached by the Rev. J. s. Lambert of Bay Minette.
 Monday night the class exercises are held and promise to be a very pleasing g presenta tion. Tuesday night occurs the annual oratorical contest for the Maude E. Truitt gold medal. There are six contestants. Wednesday night the re- cital by the music students will be given under the direction of Miss Jamie Orman. who has charge of that de- partment of the work of the school.
 Thursday night at o'clock the com mencement address will be delivered by Albert P. Bush of Mobile. one of the most delightful speakers of that city famed for. it's orators.
 The graduating class consists of the following:
 Miss Florence Dolive of Montrose. Miss Ivel Greggs of Battles, Miss To- rena Hodgson of Stockton. Hudson Ta- pia of Mobile. Dan Long, Jr., of Cha tom, William Hunt of Fairhope, Aubrey J. Chute of Theodore.
 On account of the larger appropria- ton from the state the school has had the most prosperous year in it's history. The following departments were added last fall: Shorthand and typewriting, expression. manual training, art and bookkeeping. These have been well sustained and especially the work of the manual training department has shown great development and popu- larity.
 For the first time in the history of the school the graduating iclass will issue an annual. The name q the book is The Nymph." It is to be an yo- page book substantially bound in cloth and its numerous cuts and descriptions will accurately reflect the life of the institution.
 The greatest need of the school for next year Is dormitory to care for the increase in attendance. The 'legis- lature of 1911 granted $10,000 for this purpose but none of it is available on account of the condition of the state treasury. At the meeting of the nor nal school board the last of May steps will be taken toward providing this most necessary improvement.
