ROOM IN THE UNITED STATES

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
 A man may walk through seven German states in seven hours. Thirteen of the smaller German states all might find room in the one American state of Con- necticut. Colorado is 20 times the size of Connecticut. But Montana is larger than Colorado by 42,0Oo square miles. If all the human family--the whole human race. consisting of 1.5oo,oD0,oOo people were gathered together in Montana, there would be but 15 people to the acre. And California is larger than Montana by 12,- 900 square miles. Texas Is larger than California by 1070O0 square miles, while Alaska is more than double the size of Texas. Under the United States flag. on the continent of America, there is room for the whole world and to spare
 Alaska Is not monopolized by Arctic lee and polar bears. At Sitka, the capital, the temperature rarely falls as low as zero. In 50 years 1t has not fallen more than degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. Besides her endless fisheries, the resources of the country are almost boundless In timber. mines and grazing lands. Alaska Is far better country today than much of Great Britain and Norway or even parts of Prussia.

Cotton and Cotton Growing

Eleven-cent cotton at the farm shipping statign seems to be well as- sured. This price bids fair to remain good this year whether the crop be 14.5oO. 900 bales or even 15,000,0OO bales. The prospect of an early close of the war in Turkey has aided the upward movement of prices, and frost on the top crop did the rest.
 The entire situation is in substance 2 declaration of the consumers of the world to the producers of America to get ready to grow hereafter 1e,- ooo.Do0 bales annually. The world can no longer get along comfortably on less.
 This does not necessarily mean a larger acreage, for better cultivation according to demonstration stan dards can more readily increase the crop than increase of acreage can un- der old and outworn methods of cul- tivation.
 Here in Alabama our farmers are face to face with the boil weevil and they should read of the way in which a farmer near Shreveport maintained his production despite the pest:
 'Begin," he said, "this year to make next years crop. This fall I would leave some of the late cot ton and immediately burn all the stalks and all the trash on the field.
 "I would do this to deprive the boil weevil of protected home dur ing the winter
 "Then I would break the land.
 "Then l would break the land again in February.
 "Then I would plant three weeks before the normal time or just as soon as l could.
 q would have the rows six feet apart, or wide enough so as to in- sure plenty of sunshine on every plant.
 q would chop the cotton out as soon as possible and then begin to plow. I would go over that cotton every 10 days as long as it is safe to plow cotton.
 That is what the successful Texas and Louisiana cotton growers do to beat boil weeyil. It is keeping the soil clean, good preparation for plant ing, and rapid and frequent cultiya- tion."

Near Side Stops

Anything that quickens a trip be- tween Birmingham's residence dis tricts and the heart of the city serves the public.
 The order of the street car con- pany abolishing stops on each side of an intersecting street in the congest- ed district does not facilitate the transit of passengers. The small losses of time makes the difference between keen street car service and a slack one and double stops within 60 or 70 feet of each other are. cer- tainly unnecessary.
 It is better, in other words, to hurry 50 people in car along to their destination than it is to delay them in order to please two or three belated people who either could not or would not walk across a street.
 The entire car service in this city should be expedited in every possible manner. All unnecessary delays should be avoided and quickness of transit should become the ruling fea- ture of the service.

From the New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
 IT DERGRoUND forces play strange pranlss at times Australia is hap S pily free from earthquakes; but one never knows when the eruptive days or years gone by may recur.
 Apropos of this, a strange occurrence is reported from Curdie's river, Victoria. Recently all the water became quite white, with froth upon 1t, which afterward turned to green slime. Large numbers of fish in the stream died. The water gave out peculiar odor and cattle refused to drink it. It was supposed to be the re- suit of a volcanic disturbance in Lake Purrumbete, in the vicinity of Mount Leura There is an extinct volcano in this neighborhood.
 It is said that divers were sent down into the lake on previous occasion to investigate, but the water was so hot that they could not stay in it. After this last disturbance the water in the river be- came clearer han 1t had been for some time. The slime collected into patches, which clung to the soil and stones on the banks.
 It has been noticed for considerable time that in making excavations into Mount Leura for the purpose of obtaining scora for ballasting footpaths the deeper the excavation the greater the heat of the material. "Swagmen" frequently camp in such places during the winter.
 In the country immediately north of sns ncer's gulf is an extensive area which may be called the Lake district Of Aus

vindication Four Years Hence

While President Taft says he ex- pects to see his administration vindi- cated in 1916-in other words, that he expects to run again-the progress sives have called meeting of their national executive committee to meet this winter in Chicago. The object of the Chicago meeting is to get ready against 1916.
 A campaign between the standpats and the progressives is therefore al ready planned and begun without change of standard bearers or other paraphernalia. Such campaign will increase in bitterness from the very nature of the case, for each will look for recruits in the ranks of the old historic party. Every year and al- most every day will add to the acer- bity existing between them.
 The democrats will be found ready to encourage in turn the standpatter and the progressive, batting each on the back and encouraging each to go ahead, while they themselves will take precious good care to do lot of con- structivc work that makes for the prosperity and development of the country.
 It is reasonably certain that the old standpet bosses will not commit suicide and 1t is equally certain that the ardoF of the Sage of Oyster Bay has net been issssned either by eaid lead or by adverse votes, Beth aas still in the running and both have the approval of the democratic party when they seek again side by side yindieatipn in 1916, oil and water

Concerning Police official.

Tt Is common thing for those persons who criticize the executive or police offl- cials of large cities to say how this man or that man, if he were mayor or police commissioner or chief of police. would see to it that all gambling and vice In every shnpe and form were suppressed" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce Putting the lid on and keeping 1t on tight is easier said than done. This fact was well illustrated toward the closing days of prohibition. Men about town can tell you that when Judge Lane put the lid on and did his best to hold it down, prohibition law was more nearly effective in this town than it had ever been before and yet some blind tigers were operating even when the lid was on tight. and it was no fault of either Judge Lane or the chief of police,

STRANGE AUSTRALIAN LAKES

1 tralia. It is nearly 1000 miles in length from southeast to northwest.
 First of all there is Lake Torrens, more than 100 miles long, but not very wide. Lake Eyre, further north, is much larger To the west is the extensive Lake Gaird- ner and to the east of Lake Eyre are Lakes Blanche. Gregory and several others. All these lakes, which. by the way, are salt are subject to great fluc- tuations in size, grassy plains being found in some years where extensive sheets of water at other times cover the country
 Australia abounds in basins of inland water, which, however, are mostly saline, and are very seldom flooded all the year round. They depend for their supplies mainly on the rainy monsoons, possess no regular influents or even surface springs. and lie mostly in the centre of waterless, stony deserts.
 Near the center of Australia Is the Finke river, which rises on the Tropic of Capricorn, in the Mcdonald ranges and flowing southwark receives many small tributaries. After passing Charlotte Waters station, on the Overland Tele- graph line. 1t becomes lost in the desert Further north and east are numerous other streams, which, after a short course, disappear in the sands. All these water courses are subject at intervals to sudden and violent floods. The flood times arc followed by long periods of drought, dur ing which many streams and lakes dis appear altogether and never come back to life again. Next flood time Providence invents new rivers in new localities.

Wyoming, one senator each. All told, those states will elect 20 senators.
 At present the Senate consists of 50 republicans and A democrats. As suming that the democrats cannot, aided by the grangers, re-elect Obe- diah Gardner in Maine, the democrats will need six additional senators in the states mentioned in this article.
 Until the returns from these states are carefully tabulated it will not be known what party will control the Senate. What the country sadly needs is a Congress and President work ing in harmony. In that way policies can be wrought out and the judg- ment of the country upon them ob- tained. A few progressives in the Senate may still be useful but they will not be and cannot be as satis- factory to harmonious government as a clear-cut democratic majority.

The Wire NH at Corey

While I have no official information, think 1t is a perfectly safe prediction that the installation of machinery in the American Wire and Steel company's great mill at Corey will begin not later than December l." said a professional man.
 II understand that MT. Lutz, the super intendent of the local plant, is in worces- ter, Mass, where the vice president and chief engineer have thei- headquarters. He is, I imagine, going over with the higher officials details of the work to be done in the near future. I am expecting an official announcement from the United States Steel headquarters to the effect that the wire mill will be turning out wire next spring. I know that has been the understanding for six or eight months past.
 Business in the Birmingham district has been humming for the past nine months and the starting up of the wire mill will have tho effect of making busi- ness hum all the more"

The Year 1884 Recalled

l "When MT. Cleveland was elected Presi-
 dent in 1884 the civil service law applied
 to comparatively few officeholders and there was naturally a great scramble on | the part of the democrats for govern-
 ment positions" said an old democrat yesterday. Our party had been out of office so long that thousands upon thou sands spent much of their time between
 November and the following summer Tn i Washington looking after the plums. 1 MT. Cleveland was a sincere civil ser l vice reformer but he did not hesitate
 to replace republicans holding important
 jobs by appointing good democrats. Many party workers spent at least six months | in Washington beseeching congressman | to get them on the government payroll. A fellow who had his eye on a chief
 clerkshp took fifth or sixth rate job
 In MT. CleveIand's second administration
 the civil service law had been extended
 In it's application and there was less of flee seeking than there was in 1884, but
 still there were many applicants for the better paying jobs.
 The new President-Woodrow Wilson 1t is taken for granted-wil be impor-
 tuned in behalf of offceseekers, although
 noE more than 10 per cent of the govern
 mont positions are now outside of the civil service rules. The President can, however, by the stroke of his pen set the civil service rules aside; but will he do it? As some one remarked recently. about
 the only good positions in Birmingham | that do not come under civil service rules are the office of collector of internal reve-
 nue, the office of postmaster, the office
 nf district attorney and the office of
 marshal are all presidential offices; that l is to say the President makes the ap- l pointments subject to confirmation by 1 the Senate. According to custom tie postmaster is allowed to serve out the term of four years for which he was ap- 1 pointed, and 1t will doubtless be so in
 Postmaster Aldrich's case
