had been fitted with three or four of these bridge boats. with the accompany ing steel iifeboats the rescuing steam ship called to ber assistance by wireless would have found her 220o passengers safe ly on board of them in not too great dis comfort.
 No attempt was made, however, to in- stall this device or any other similar one on any of the liners. Captain Sims says that when he asked the head of q steam ship company about 1t, the reply was made that the officers would like to make the installation, but that it would not attract a single passenger. So long as other companies did not spend the money his company could not afford to. His suggestion was that there should be an in ternational requirement for all lines to live up to.
 This is the same point that has been made repeatedly. Unregulated competi- tion won't do-whether in supplying milk or canned goods or ocean transportation. Governments must take a hand and estab- fish standards which must be met. Only in this way can the pubic be sure of getting what it is paying for, whether 1t is pure milk or safe transportation.

One Term for Presidents

Congressman Henry D. Clayton, chairman of the committee on the judiciary, has laid before the House a resolution embodying this amend ment to section 1, article II of the con- stitution: "The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of six years and shall be ineligible to a second term." It is hoped that MT. Clayton's resolution will be considered by the judiciary committee and reported favorably. Action on it may be de- ferred to the next session, but public sentiment prefers a quicker submis- sion of the proposition to the states.
 Both MT. Taft and MT. Cleveland have indorsed the proposition, and the antics of Colonel Roosevelt have in- tensified public sentiment.i No doubt he expected President Taft to act as a puppet pending his own reelection. The plan miscarried. In some of the Latin-American states the plan has worked well, notably in Chile and Mexico. The puppet plan has never worked we'll here and probably never will.
 It would, however, be better to set- tie the matter definitely, and MT. Clayton's resolution should be laid be- fore the states.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-04

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Alabama gratefully tenders her thanks to her sister state of Florida. The clean cut victory of Oscar Underwood in the Florida primaries, over great odds. Is an event which draws Florida and Alabama
 closer together, and which places Ala
 bama under an obligation to her sister
 state. which she hopes she will one day
 have the opportunity to repay with in- terest.
 The material, political and social inter-
 ests of Florida are closely interwoven
 with those of Alabama. The people of the two states are of a kinship and Of
 one blood. Our people have given in mar
 rage to Florida and have taken in mar
 rage from Florida. Alabama has given to Florida some of it's most valuable
 citizens. Florida has contributed to Ala
 bama some of the best men we have. l But apart from these close ties, the
 character and the masterly public record of Oscar Underwood appealed to reason
 able and thinking people of Florida. He
 not only came from a neighboring state. but he stood forth as great as the great
 est democrat of his day, the leader who
 had united the disjointed sections of his
 party, provided it with an issue on which 1t could win a victory and taught 1t how
 to win It's battles.
 In an election justice and merit are not always winners. There never would have been doubt that Florida would go for Underwood, if there had been time to
 carry his campaign fairly to the voters of the state His opponent in Florida had been longer in the field; he had had for i weeks an aggressive organization, and
 he had been widely advertised. But all
 doubts hate been dissipated. Florida ral-
 lied to the standard of Underwood and | tariff reform.
 1 The results of the Florida primaries
 mean more than that Oscar Underwood will get the delegates from that state to | the national democratic convention. They mean that at critical moment in the | Underwood campaign Florida rushed to his support and gave to his supporters in every state new courage and added in- spiration. For this Alabama is grateful to Florida.

GEORGIA FOR UNDERWOOD

From the Savannah News.
 The fact that Georgia and Florida have gone for MT. Underwood and Massachu- setts for Speaker Clark makes it certain that no one of the candidates will have a majority of the delegates when the Baltimore convention assemblies. After the complimentary ballots are cast the effort will be to nominate the man who stands the best chance of being elected
 In the last month we have pointed out many times that Mr. Underwood is the most available candidate. The reasons why he is are convincing and will be con vincing when the claims of the respective candidates are placed before the Balti- more convention. There is no occasion for repeating them at this time. They have proven satisfactory to the voters of Alabama, Georgia and Florida and there will be other southern states to name MT Underwood as their choice.
 MT. Underwood made a clean campaign in this state and Florida. His victory leaves no heartburns. Those who opposed him are ready to support him. In fact, it is characteristic of the man that he has no occasion to make apologies or ex- plantations. He has a record for clean politics and superb leadership and these things will tell nightly in his favor in the nominating convention.

ALFONSO THE ACTOR

From "The Charming Alfonso" Oscar
 Frichet, in Joe Chapple's Newsletter.
 I am persuaded, after a close study of Alfonso XIII, King of Spain, that had he not been born amidst the glamor of the purple he would today be kicking up his heels on the boards of a variety hall or acting Pierrot down by the seashore. His high spirits and profound sense of humor would collect for him a fat audience even in a cyclone, and I daresay he would rake In sufficient shekes in one brief sea- son as a sand comedian to enable him to retire from the business and open a drinking saloon.
 I don't think Alfonso finds his present situation uncongenial for the moment, but if one dark night his subjects play the republican trick on him and he finds it imperative to do a bit of honest labor to prevent his wife and family from shar- ing the well advertised privileges of the workhouse. have evry confidence in rec ommending him to buy cheap stage rig out and to initiate the monkey and the goat for plump cash.

SHOEMAKER GOT REVENGE

From the St. Louis ost-Dispatch.
 q dug out a pair of low cut tan shoes that looked worth having half soled." said Dr. Frank E. Wilson. member of Congress from Brooklyn, ''so I took them to a shoemaker.
 He looked them over and called my attention to some places in the uppers where the leather was about to break and told me he would like to do the work but he did not think it worth while to repair the shoes
 q was little disappointed, but I couldn't help admiring the mans honesty. I picked up my old shoes and started for the door, but stopped when the cobbler called after me:
 Just moment. doctor; 75 cents, please.
 "'what for?' I asked. You didn't do anything
 Neither did you one time when I called at your office to see what was the matter with me, replied the shoemaker. You looked me over and said there wasn t anything the matter with me, but you didn't forget to charge me- '''

Georgia's Splendid Plurality

Later returns from Georgia show that in last Wednesdays preferential primary Oscar w. Underwood received plurality of 14,000 votes or more.
 The friends of Woodrow Wilson or ganized in Georgia months before Underwood was actively in the presi- dential race. In view of that fact, and in view of the further fact that Underwood was opposed most bitterly, by certain Georgia politicians, the Alabamian's large vote shows what inherent strength there is in his cause. The rural precincts were overwhelm- ingly in favor of Underwood.
 If he had carried the state by a plurality of only 5000 or 5000 his friends would have rejoiced, but a total of 14,0O0 is magnificent. It stresses the point that Underwood is vote getter.
 At the head of the democratic ticket, he would sweep the country against either Taft, Roosevelt or any other republican.

The Iron Market

Matthew Addy & Co.'s Cincinnati report, just received, says:
 Pig iron has been pretty sick. but the patient is now rapidly convalescing, and soon will be quite over the attack. The illness developed late in 1907 as a result of the panic and overproduction soon be- came apparent. The strength of the iron situation at present is that more iron is being consumed than the furnaces are pro- ducing. Steadily, like a retreating flood, the surplus stocks of iron in makers yards are being reduced. In some sec tions there is already shortage of cer- tain grades. It is encouraging to note the increasing number of orders for faster shipment. When iron is wanted now it is wanted at once. This state of affairs is eminently satisfactory
 During the week the largest of the malleabe iron makers has bought his supply for the balance of the year. The tonnage was large. Of late business has been made up principally of wholesale lots. The small buyers have done some thing but the main volume of trade has come from the heavy melters who have been purchasing large blocks. It is fact, too. that the larger concerns are run ming nearly to their capacity.
 There is still a great deal of uncer. tainty regarding coke. That coke prices are bound to be higher is sure but the supply is in question owing to a great shortage of labor in the coal fields.n

Maximum Stay at One Church


 The general conference of the Northern Methodist church is in ses- sion in Minneapolis, and an effort sup ported by 24 active bishops is to be grade in the conference to limit the stay 'pf minister in given church to five years. At present the 19,000 ministers of the northern church can stay in any pulpit indefinitely. A life stay is not impossible in northern Methodism. Under this plan the richer churches absorb the brighter preachers, and younger men cannot readily gain places in the prominent churches.
 The question has, however, two sides to it. The supporters of the present plan say it enables a preacher to plan a great work and to accom- plish it. Large congregations can be built up, and really great preachers will stay in the church.
 The problem will be threshed out at Minneapolis. It promises to be the chief battle of the conference, and the Northern MethPdists will endeavor to strike down she form of commercial ism that has become feature of their organization.

Southern Cities

Tt is most gratifying to see all the cities of the south growing and pros pering,'' said Richard H.. Edmonds, editor of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record. who has been in Birmingham for several days
 If only Atlanta, Birmingham and one or two other cities were growing fast, their progress might be accepted as some thing to be expected. But 1t Is a fact that old cities like Richmond, Petersburg and Norfolk in Virginia are Increasing in population and wealth almost as rapidly as cities that are supposed to be especial- ly favored in their natural resources. For long years Norfolk was almost at standstill, but 1t Is going ahead with great strides now. It is certainly good to see the south as a whole advancing along solid lines"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-04
Bnsiness Improyement

Business is improving in almost every part of the country said E. E. Weaver, one of the best informed men of the industrial world.
 'ln spite of the floods business in the south is good and here in Birmingham there are very marked evidences of pros perity. Improvement in the iron market helps this distrie<, as a matter of course.
 There is an unusal amount of building in Birmingham. 1 have never seen so many large buildings going up at the same time. Among the notable Improvements here are the two big hotels in course of construction. This is an era of ele- gant hotels Houston. which is not as large as Birmingham, has 100000 hotel and another costly hotel is being built there. The new one will be IS stories high. The two hotels being built in Birmingham will not be overdoing it a particle. They should both pay.
 Speaking of Houston, 1t is one of the coming great cities of the south. I was there recently, and am going again this week. It is one of the busiest places l know of.'

GREATNESS IN HUMBLE LIFE

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Mary Townsend, an old negro, com mands the admiration and respect of everybody who reads the story of her munifcence reported to the St. Louis pres bytery.
 This aged ex-slave has been saving what she could of her earnings during the 47 years since she was freed. She hasn't been spending money for nickel odeons and foolishness,' she explains. She has accordingly amassed s3250. What to do with the wealth became a problem. She felt the responsibility of riches.
 Her church needed a parsonage and solved her problem. T want to spend all I've got for good cause," she said, "for I haven't got long to live here,' so the gift of her all to this good end crowns her years of piety and righteous striving.

House Flies and Mosquitoes

A town meeting in Auburn, made up of college professors and the home merchants and professional men and the surrounding farmers, recently met and they unitedly resolved that the house flies and mosquitoes should be fought to the point of extermination. The authorities of Auburn propose to assist and promote the joint effort, and the college will second the mo- tion. Even the Auburn Boy Scouts will lend helping hand.
 An executive committee was ap- pointed by the town meeting which will cooperate with the Auburn city council and with the college located there. This big joint effort will de- wise methods and penalties until the two pests are driven out.
 What is being done at Auburn should be duplicated in each and every other town in this state, It is none too early to begin. Both pests are full of danger to human beings. While the house fly distributes typhoid germs the mosquito carries the germs of malaria to plant them where they are sure to breed ill results. Between the two the state is filled with dis

MAJOR BUTT AS A WRITER

Oxford 3000'' in the Boston Herald.
 or all the newspaper workers I have ever known. very few exhibited stronger sense of professional obligation than the round faced, blond boy who came to the capital as Archie" Butt, the name by which Mir. Taft still affectionately refers to him. He once explained to me that in writing over his initials for an Atlanta newspaper he felt controlled as 1t were by the standards and ideals of his family, which was well known in Georgia. Ger tain populistic causes-for of course, he was a democrat-he would have treated more tolerantly. but for his sense of what his readers would expect from a Butt of Butts county. It was named for one of his ancestors. although the spelling differs slightly from that which his branch Of the family now uses.
 At comparatively early age MT. Butt built up a great reputation as a Washing ton correspondent. His letters. signed IA ". B. appeared simultaneously in nearly dozen southern cities. An ar dent Episcopalian, he was somewhat shocked at the irreyerenee of a traveller returning from the south, who once re- ported to him that "A. W. B. occupied the same place in southern journalism as 'I. H. S.' in ecclesiastical decorations. And it was true that in city after city this group of initials showed themselves as if an integral part of the daily press. And his syndicate was constantly lengthening.
 It was a surprise to many of Butts friends that he wanted.to abandon news paper work for a military career, as he did at the instance of his friend, Gen eral Corbin. Butt was one of those red blooded young fellows to whom the tramp of contending armies appeals, and so he was among the first of the newly desig- mated officers from civil life.

Great Music Festival

Birmingham's music festival, which opened yesterday afternoon, closes tonight. Competent critics say that the Minneapolis orchestra, which has an important place on all the pro- grammes, is of uncommon excellence. No orchestra in this country surpasses it and few indeed equal it.
 Public spirited citizens made the festival possible by subscribing to a guarantee fund, and it is hoped the audiences today-this afternoon and tonight-will be sufficiently large to pay the expenses which the festival association has incurred. While yes- terday's audiences were fashionable and discriminating they were not large enough. Such superb artists as are heard in this festival should draw ca pacity houses.
 Let there be an overflow house at the matinee and another great out pouring of people tonight. If Bir- mingham has any public spirit the
 
 guarantors will not be allowed to meet any considerable deficit. It is up to the people to attend the two remaining concerts.
