simply does not know where It is at.
One thing seems to be certain,
namely, no faction and no party can
hope to win that accepts such bosses
as Shelby /Cullom, Penrose and Will
liam Barnes, Jr. No standpat party
under old-time bosses can succeed.
If the republican party is to be re-
organized, if it is to make Roadway
against the progressives, it must find
new leaders and it must bury deep its
reactionary tendencies. 1t must cut
loose from the trusts and n1onopolies.
Can it do this?
If it cannot, then it may as well
get ready for burial at once, for re-
crufts cannot be procured for the old
time party of graft and monopoly and
bosses. No republican in Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois, for example, knows
where he stands or who he is working
with, or what he is working for. He
is at sea without compass or rudder.

TRIBUTE TO UNDERWOOD

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Every democrat in Alabama should
appreciate the fact that the bills pre-
pared, introduced and passed on the
tariff question by Congressman Oscar
Underwood formed the prinicpal-thc
main issue-on which the democratic
party won it's sweeping victory in the
election Tuesday" said former Govern
or w. D. Jelks, who is also national
committeeman from Alabama. Govern
or Jelks was an Underwood man in the
primary, but he was one of the men
on the Alabama delegation who insisted
Alabama democrats and who had con-
siderable influence In swinging the Ala
bama delegation at Baltimore to Gov
ernor Wilson, when after FIVE days ball
loting 1t appeared that Underwood
could not be nominated The former
governor was on his way to Birming-
ham, after making the trip to his home
In Eufaula for the purpose of voting
for Wilson and Marshall
1T seems to me that all Alabama
democrats should be proud of the fact
that Oscar Underwood paved the way
for a democratic victory. So far as my
personal opinion goes, l do not think
that any single factor contributed so
much to the success of the democratic
party last Tuesday as its steadfast al
legiance to the principles of tariff re-
form. The democratic party in this
election stood upon the platform of
tariff reform which Oscar Underwood
prepared for it,"
Added force is given to this state
ment because the former governor was
one of the original second choice Will
son men in Alabama and because he
worked harder to get up popular Will
son campaign fund than any man in
Alabama, than any other national COM
mitteeman worked In any other state.
And, as a result of his systematic work,
Alabama, according to wealth and pop
ulation, probably showed up better
than any other state in the Union.

Holy War Is Declared

The Shiek-ul- islam has issued be-
lated appeal for a holy war. Holy
wars have lost their power. The ma
lives of Morocco fought the French IN
the name of the Prophet and so did
the Turks and Arabs in Tripoli. Holy
wars of late are no more powerful
than the regular secular efforts, both
denending upon men, equipment and
supplies.
In a holy war, however, there is
apt to be massacres of Christians, and
if this takes place in Turkey the ot-
toman government will soon wish that
the Sheik-ul-Islam had keptNout Of
the war altogether.
The war is fortunately near its end,
although it was not begun until Octo-
Der s. 1t has been swift, decisive and
informally disastrous to the Turks.
Before the present week is ended the
war itself may be entirely ended, and
ended in a great and glorious victory
over the Turks, who has overstayed
his welcome in Europe by several
centuries.

From the washington Post.
A dispatch from Birmingham. the home
of the democratic floor leader in the
House. throws light on the question OF an
extra session of Congress to revise the
tariff. Mr.. Underwood is quoted to the
effect that tariff bills for early action are
under consideration. Specifically, Mr..
Underwood is quoted as admitting that "a
special session of Congress shortly after
Governor Wilson has heen inaugurated is
the programme, and I have no reason for
doubling that that will be the course. +"
The statement is conclusive, so far as
Mr.. Underwood is concerned, but he de-
clines to be understood as speaking for
Presidential Wilson, or that the latter
is cognizant Of the preparations being
made for an extra session.
Mr.. Underwood's explanation of the de-
STABILITY of holding a tariff revision ses-
sion Is that the people expect early ac-
ton on the tariff question, and that as
the democrats at no time eliminated the
tariff proposition, 1t Is up to the party to
act Mr. Underwood's remarks are con-
flrmatory of the extra session rumor cir
culated few days before election. which
was quickly denied in some quarters. but
1t ELECTED nothing from Mr.. Wilson as
to its authenticity. He refuses to be
drawn out on any of the great ques-
lions, however, so that his reticence on
the tariff has no special significance.
lie has his ear to the ground, Ike Pres
ident Mckinley, bent on catching the
trend of public sentiment before defining
his policy. Mr.. Wilson Is a little more
ornate than Mr.. Mckinley in stating his
attitude, which is that the presidency
should be conducted Through the COM
mon counsel Of the country" but there Is
no difference in the meaning.
Such being Mr. Wilson's stand as to
his future course, he will not be long in
discovering that the outlook for an extra
session is uppermost In the peoples
thoughts 1t Is a mattear of chief i'm
portance to the business world; more SO
than the composition of the new cabinet
or other speculative futures" Hence 1t
is to be expected that something definite
will be forthcoming in the near future.
Business asks and should have as much
time as possible to adjust its affairs SO
that changes in the tariff shall SO into
operation with as little disturbance as
possible.

Birmingham's Future Needs

Oscar Wenderoth, supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department, will
determine this week how much ground
space is needed for a new government
building in this city. There was in
Greater Birmingham - Birmingham
and its environs-in the census year
211, 1861 people, (S677 more than At
lanta and its environs) and it is to
be hoped that Mr.. Wenderoth will
take into consideration the fact that
the opening of the Panama canal will
lend great impetus to the iron and
coal resources of this district. In 10
years the population of Greater Bir-
mingham may be doubled, and in 20
years it will have no rival in the
south except possibly New Orleans.
This fact, together with the needs
of the parcels post system, call for a
public building of large proportions.
A building that will meet all proper
demands for 80 years is what the city
needs and the government should

Gov. Wilson'S Administration

The party that hesitates, dawdles
and trifles with the just expectations
of the people is lost almost from
the start Woodrow Wilson has in the
past met every situation braEely, and
he will meet the one relating to an
extra session in like manner.
There are plenty of democratic
schemers and spoilsmen, but the
rank and file are honest. The great
body of the party wants first of all
the main source of privilege, pro-
tective tariff, brought down to rev.
enue basis. They want this because it
will eliminate a world of privilege
and reduce the cost of living, and
they want a special session specially
devoted to this task
The democratic press and the demo-
cratic members of Congress fresh
from the people are almost a unit in
this matter Such degree of unani-
nifty is significant and remarkable. 1t
surely will be needed by Governor
Wilson, who maintains an open mind
concerning the subject.
After the tariff has been revised
there are big problems looming up.
Monopoly must be curbed in this
country. All the suits that Roosevelt
and Taft brought have not lessened
a single monopoly.
And then, too, we have banking
and currency devised by the trusts
for the trusts. 1t is deal worse than
any banking and currency system in
the civilized world. To reform it is a
big task, complex and difficult one.
But the first steps in true democ-
racy is to take graft and monopoly
out of the tariff schedules. All else
halts on that. When the tariff has
been brought to a revenue basis there
will be hope in all democratic hearts
that the country can be thoroughly
democratized and will be. Woodrow
Wilson is, the man selected to lead
the country out of the trusts and
graft and monopoly of 16 years of
republican NAL administration.

Opposition Party Control

Colonel Roosevelt says the pro-
gressive party has come to stay, and
George w. Perkins wires j. o..
Thompson to hold all ground and to
fight for more. The ground gained in
Alabama was inconsiderable, and
Mr.. Thompson will have no trouble in
holding it.
But in, say, Pennsylvania and Hi
nois, what is to be the nature of the
opposition? Both states are politically
muddled so far as the opposition to
the democratic party is concerned.
The democrats are sane and splid and
well organized, but the opposition

Opening the Canal

To Woodrow Wilson and democratic
hands has fallen the task of opening
the Panama canal and regulating its
traffic. There is good assurance that
ships will be towed through the canal
in October of next year. The mighty
project will be completed in demo-
cratic administration, and no arts or
tricks will deprive the American peo-
pie on either of the great seas of its
benefits and advantages. The trans
continental railroads may as we'll ac-
cept the verdict of Congress cheefully,
for they must accept it anyway. The
peoples great investment cannot be
used to perpetuate or enlarge any
monopoly.
This district should take steps to
see that West Virginia gains no I'M
Just advantages under Colonel Goe-
thals, who has become a partizan of
the mines-in that state. He takes the
position that West Virginia coal is
the only coal that will stand tropical
weather. 1t is not very tropical in the
West Virginia mountains and it is
not easy to understand the Goethals
position. Fair play should be demand
ed at both Colon and Panama, and no
fayors.

But all for thee. thou mightiest of tn,

The banquet hath its hour,
Its feverish hour Of nirth, and song, and

There comes day of griefs over

A time for softer tears-but all are thine
Youth and the opening rose
May look like things too glorious for de

And smile at thee--but thou art not OF
That wait the rlpened bloom to seize theb

And stars to set-but all,

We know when moons shall wane,
When summer birds from far shall cross
the sea,
When autumn's hue shall tinge the
golden grain
But who shall teach us when to lool
for thee?
Is it when springs first gale
Comes forth to whisper where the violeti

Is it when roses in our paths grow pale
They have one season-all are ours Ia

Thou art where pillows foam,
Thou art where music melts upon the air
Thou art around us In our peaceful

And the world calls US forth-and thot

ORNAMENTAL STREET LIGHTING

The introduction of the tungsten and
mazda electric lamps and of the orna-
mental lighting standard for street use
has made possible many attractive com
binations which are being introduced with
surprising rapidity in many cities through
out the country. Modern street lighting
systems must not only provide good IL
Elimination at night but must present
pleasing and attractive appearance by
day. Cities are now elassed as progress
sive and alive or behind the times ac-
cording to the attractiveness of their
street lighting systems.
The November issue of Municipal En-
cheering. a publication which has for
nearly a quarter of century been an au-
thority upon which city officials have de-
pended for reliable information and adj
vice on physical Improvements. contains
several interesting articles on street light
ing. Figures are given which show that
property values have increased and rental
values have advanced in cities through
out the United States wherever the orna-
mental systems of lighting have been in
stalled. Merchants and retail dealers have
proflted in an important measure even
though they have been required to stand
the direct expense in many instances.
1t is shown further that these orna-
mental lighting systems are spreading
rapidly in the growing cities throughout
the country and in no instance has an in
stallation of this character been regarded
as an expensive Improvement, but rather
as an economy. Tables giving complete
data as to installation and maintenance
costs in cities and towns of various sizes
are also given. This information is of
immediate value to communities inves-
tigating the advisabilty of ornamental
street lighting and offers wide oppor-
tunities for comparisons.

ty-first streets. That property was
measurably available at the time the
appropriation of 100000 was made
(not now, but 1t could not have been
bought then for less than 100000. The
architect who came here from Wash
ington to-~look over the situation was
particularly impressed with the site de-
scribed, but as he could not buy that
for the amount of the appropriation, he
did the next best thing, perhaps, when
he bought the property at the corner
of Nineteenth street and Fifth avenue.
