pRrNcEToN,s NEW PRESIDENT

John Larkin, in Harper's Weekly.
 The most loyal supporters for the of- flee to which pr. Hibben was elected were those with whom he had lived and moved and worked for many years and who knew him thoroughly, intimately, and at close range These men knew without imagln- ing every angle and curve of his mind and soul and, knowing, believed that this man
 was worthy of the presidency of the uni versity.
 A character which could stand the ml-
 croscopic test that such intimacy brings
 gives evidence of it's genuineness and
 sterling quality.
 Accessible to every one seeking advice
 or in trouble or to him who had or be- lieved he had cause for complaint or grievance real or imaginary, each knew that there was one man who would listen and advise fairly and frankly and then
 help. No one came on errands of such character but believed when leaving that he had had an attentive and sympa- thetic listener and whether aid had been granted or refused that man left under standing more than when he came. know ing that if he was so entitled the prom ise to aid would be no perfunctory prom ise but would be fulfilled to the letter; if his cause was impossible, that fact
 would he shown to him gently and con clusively yet Dr. Hibbens decision would be recognized as just, and would leave no sting behind 1t.

High Costs of Campaigning

Messrs. Perkins, Munsey and Coch- ran handed over big checks, and alto gether $71 1000 was expended in New York city to secure 15,000 Roosevelt voters, or about $5 vote. This was done to put down corruption and to elect Roosevelt delegates to Chicago. The effort, however, miscarried and corruption, with a capital "C" still lives.
 Charles D. Hilles and Brother Henry say that the Roosevelt cam paign up to a month ago had cost S95O ,O00. The New York Herald puts the total Roosevelt expense up to June IS at $2,000,000. An equal amount is being spent for Taft. And the ques- tion naturally arises, who is putting up all this money?
 We need, in other words, nomina- tion publicity law fully as we needed in 1908 an election publicity law. .Un- der the latter the republican national committee in 1908 put the amount spent to elect Taft at Sl.655.51s. and

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
- The Democratic Nomination

Underwood sentiment in the east IS very strong-stronger now than it was even three or four months ago. said William F. Northrup of Philadelphia. T believe that>ff Underwood had or ganized in Pennsylvania six or eight months ago he would have got the dele gates from that state. As 1t is Wood rev Wilson has most of the Pennsyl- Sania delegates. Nobody seems to think now that the New Jersey governor has any chance of being nominated.
 "Clark's strength has surprised many reople, and I find that some of my dem- ocretie friends think that he will be nominated
 T am no politician. I am simply democratic voter. but I believe the Bal timore convention will put stronger man at the head of the ticket than Clark If Underwood is nominated he will cer- tainly be elected.
 The republican party is irretrievably Hit Almost any democrat could be elected, but to make sure of carrying New York, the democratic nominee must be recognized as both able and conserva- tive. Underwood now ranks as the ablest democrat and the most successful party leader that democracy has had in the past |25 years"

The Tax Question

Not since the panic of 1907 has there been as much industrial activity in the Birmingham district asnow. The coal mining business of Alabama has been particularly active during the past six monthsO The iron trade, long depressed, is reviving, and business in general, based on theprosperity of coal mining and certain other industries, has been buoyant since the early spring.
 New capital has been brought to the Birmingham district, and plans are being made for extensive development. But as has been repeatedly said capi- tai is timid, and the state tax commits sions exorbitant increases in assess ments in this county has the effect ot depressing business; of retarding new construction. Individual taxpayers, as well as corporations, are protesting strongly against the action of the state tax commissioners, and many Of the "raisesn will doubtless be reduced. But the tendency is what often hurts as much as an actual tax on capital. It will be recalled that the legislature elected in 1906 adopted a measure which levied a small taxa very small tax-on foreign capital. But that measure was a positive injury because it frightened away capital, the very thing that the stated needed, and after several organized protests from the business centers the legislature amended the revenue act by striking out the tax against foreign capital.
 The democratic party of Alabama is now pledged to encourage capital The property owners of Jefferson county should pay their just propor- tion, of course, but they should not be overtaxed. This whole matter will be thoroughly discussed at a mass meet ing of business men of Birmingham and Jefferson county, called for to- morrow afternoon, in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce.
 The tax commissioners are open minded men, and it may be taken for granted that they will give due weight to public sentiment, and to the pro- tests of the representatives of large capital.

Taken for n sontherner

The pronunciation of cultured Boston
 eople and the pronunciation of cultured sortherners is strikingly similar,' said er old citizen who was born and reared in the south, but who had spend a great deal of his time in the north, and who had been in particularly close touch with '"The Hub"
 T attended high mass al St. Paufs church, and priest whom I had never seen before occupied the pulpit. He had hardly finished the first sentence of the epistle appointed to be read for the day when I made up my mind that he was a southern gentleman to the manner born. As he continued I became convinced that he was native of one of our old southern cities. He preached a fine sermon. His diction was scholarly and his pronuncia- ton was soft and altogether beautiful.
 Upon inquiry after the service learned tJat the priest was Father Kelly of the Boston archdiocese, who recently came south for the benefit of his health, and who is now acting as chaplain at St. Vncents hospital.
 T spent some years of my life in Rich mond, Va, and Boston men. who came tlere to visit, talked exactly like the |. F. V. class

4 ,y,rvc,ous Experiment

"One of the most wonderful experi- ments in electricity is that which will be performed daily at the orpheum the- atre this week, when Dr. Mcdonald will strap a young woman in an electric chair such as is used in the state prisons of Virginia and New York, said theatre soer. "IIe turns on a high voltage cur rent. and so finely organized Is this young woman and so marvellous the dem onstration that the audience can fairly see the current coursng through her veins, emitting snapping, spnttering sparks at various points of contact with the metal. The doctor lights incandescent lamps with the greatest ease by merely touching them to the face, hands or feet of the highly charged medium.
 "The exhibition is purely scientific, re- lieved in spots by Dr. MacDonald's Scotch wit and humor."

OSCAR UNDERWOOD

In the June American Magazine, Ray Stannard Baker writes an article en- titled, Our Next President and Some Others." in which he gives an interesting characterization of the most important men who have been mentioned for the place. Following is part of what he says about oscar Underwood;
 Now, there is all the difference in the world between an old fashioned conser- vatve like Clark and a new fashioned conservative like Underwood Two men could scarcely be more different, indeed than these two democratic leaders of the House of Representatives.
 Underwood is modern man. Although the youngest of all the presidential candi- dates, being only 50 years old, he is one of the two oldest members in point Of continuous service in the House of Rep resentatiVes. Though educated as law yer, and the son of a lawyer, most or his life has been given to politics. He is one of the type of quiet, hard working, clear thinking congressman who has grown steadily in power and influence and is still growing. When he first en- tered the House he occupied a seat in the rear rows and read his speeches in low voice; today he is the most powerful man in Congress-the leader of the ma | jority in the House. Under the new l rules, as chairman of the ways and means 1 committee, he is far more powerful than the speaker, and the manner in which he | has led the democratic members, former I ly torn with dissensons and highly inef- fective, has been not short of masterly.
 His ways are quiet ways, he has the | easy manner of the south, but his hand Is firm. Among his fellow members of both parties he is highly respected as fair, stra .ghtforn ard and courageous leader. There Is no buncombe about him. When he has made up his mind upon a subject thought it out-he is willing to take his stand suuarely and firmly, give his reas- l ons, and let it go at that In time when the whole progressive tendency oi the country is toward more direct democ- racy through the instrumentality of such l devices as the initiative, referendum ano recall. he has come out strongly against these new measures.
 The people suffer far more from the
 failure to enforce existing laws than they do from the lack of proper legislation. he says. The people should drive from
 the places of power and responsibility tn,
 unfaithful servants and elect those who will be faithful to the trust imposed upor them. The masses of people are far better judges of men than they are of meas.
 ures, and are far more likely to selee
 an honest man than an honest measure

WHAT THE WORLD SAYS OF UN-
 DEHWOOD

From the Florida Times-Union.
 Early in the presidential contest Colonel Watterson got hopping mad and went off to sizzle. It is not surprising then that when he went back to work he took up the fight where he left off and he left off before the man we be- lieve will win had entered the race. Ignoring Underwood naturally under the circumstances, the Courier-J Journal says; The national campaign before us will be fought out on the great is- sue of tariff reform. The strength of Champ Clarks candidacy is his identi- fcation with that great issue"
 But another of our exchanges that had kept right in the campaign without missing a day replies to the Courier Journal ss follows:
 But why not Underwood rather than Clark? It is Oscar Underwood who is peculiarly identified with the issue of tariff reform. It is oscar Underwood who has made the democratic party's record in Congress for tariff reform. If that issue belongs to anybody it be- longs not to the speaker but to the chairman of the committee on ways and means"
 The paper from which we quote is published in a fair sized northern city and circulates beyond the city and state 1 in which it is published In fact, it I is known throughout the length and breadth of the United States as the New York World. It sees in Oscar Un- derwood the logical candidate on the | tariff reform issue
 1 So if there is any man in Florida who still thinks that Underwood is not seriously in the race for President let I him write to the New York World. The
 World does not give it's indorsement
 to make believes If there is one who still thinks the voters of the north
 would be prejudiced against a southern
 man let him write to the World The World knows northern feeling much
 better than a Floridian knows it. The universal expression of the northern papers that have expressed any opinion on the subject at all has been that it will make no difference what section of the country candidate may live in that what he represents is the only thing to be considered.
 Nearly four months ago the Times Union realized that the logic of events pointed unmistakably to the nomina- tion and election of Underwood. Per haps there were others who realized it sooner Certainly there are vast num- bers who have awakened to the realiza- tion since. We are glad to find the biggest and most influential paper on earth now in the list.
 The convention is still a month off and during the coming month Under wood sentiment will spread like wild fire. We do not expect MT. Underwood
 to get many more instructed delegates.
 He entered the race too late to expect to win many delegates on the first bal- | lot He is the sober second thought candidate and we believe he will win. If the republicans nominate Taft Underwood is the man to put up against him for Underwood's bills and Taft $ vetoes vii be the issue. If they nomin- ate Roosevelt, Underwood is the man to put up against him for Underwood is the opposite of Roosevelt in every re- spect.

PRIVATE LIFE OF LIONS

~ TEWART EDWARD WHITE, the
 well known American authority on A> outdoor life, has returned from a years hunt in Africa, during which he killed several lions and personally saw T. In an article on lions in the June American Magazine, MT. White says, in part:
 "As to habtsl The only sure thing about lion is his originality He has more exceptions to his rules than the German language. Men who have been mighty lion hunters for many years, and who have brought to their hunting close observation, can only tell you what a lion may do in certain circumstances Fol- lowing very broad principles, they may even predict what he is apt to do; but never what he certainly will do. That is one thing that makes lion hunting inter esting.
 "In general, then, the lion frequents that part of the country where feed the great game herds. From them he takes his toll by night. retiring during the day into the shallow ravines, the brush patches or the rocky little buttes. have. however, seen lions miles from game, sumbering peacefully atop an ant hill. Indeed. oc- casionally. a pack of lions like to live high in the tall grass ridges where every hunt will mean for them q four or five mile jaunt out and back again. He needs water, after feeding, and so rarely gets farther than eight or 10 miles from that necessity.

.pEHINDv AT WEBER AND FIELDS

New Yorl's Fsyorite Show" in tse une
 Metropolitan Magazine.
 To really understand why it Is that the Weber and Fields fooling so ire sistibly amuses so many people, one should have witnessed the perpetual game of checkers that goes on in Lew Fields dressing room. Miss Ada Lewis refuses invitations to dinner to be at the theatre in time to play checkers. Weber and Fields every moment that they are not making up play checkers. The rest of the company stand around and watch them. They play checkers with tho earnestness and sincerity with which they make fun
 To the outsider. the spectacle of MT. George Beban playing checkers with Mir Fields in his well known make up, while Fields slips farther and farther under the table in the earnestness of the game, is as funny an act as any, thing that occurs on the stage. [,
 Behind the scenes here is one of the most homelike places in the world. II is home gone little mad. home in fancy dress. if you like, but just the same "honne." I mean that there exists here an extreme quality of intimacy and oi good fellowship that home is supposed to have and so often hasn't. This is sc often true that it makes one homesick to be there. It's like attending old Home Week in a strange town.
 It is for all these reasons and the especial quality of geniality that make es the show loved in town where plays and actors, at best, have only vogues and where the audience as a rule has only curiosity. And that is why this generation of show -goers will say tc Its children: Oh but you ought te have seen Weber and Fields" in tone
 of the older generation speaking of its l lfaYorite playhouses and favorite actors

WOMAN'S THRILLING FLIGHT

Harriet Qumby in Leslle's
 \ T was 5:30 a. m. when my machine got off the ground at Dover. Eng. \ The preliminaries were brief. Hand- shakes were quickly given, the motor be- gan to make 1900 revolutions a minute, and 1 put up my hand to give the signal or release. Then I was off. The noise of the motor drowned the shouts and cheers ot friends below. In a moment I was in the air, climbing steadily in long circle. I was up 15O0 feet within 90 seconds. From this high point of vantage my eyes lit at once on Dover Castle. It was half hidden in a fog bank. I felt that trouble was coming, but I made directly for the flagstaff of the castle.
 In an instant I was beyond the cliffs and over the channel. Far beneath me I saw the Mirrors tug, with it's stream of black smoke. It was trying to keep ahead of me, but I passed it in jiffy. Then the thiekening fog obscnred my view. Calais was out of sight. could not see ahead of me at all nor could I see the water below. There was only one thing for me to do, and that was to keep my eyes fixed on the compass.
 My hands were covered with long, Scotch woolen gloves, which gave me good protection from the cold and fog; but the machine was wet and my face was so covered with dampness that I had to push my goggles up on my forehead. I could not see through them I was travelling at over mile minute The distance straight across from Dover to Calais is
