Parliament Pnssng Wage Bill but Not
I>ndf,,0 Gs,.il,n

London. March 27.--A Hateful
period in the history of British trade
struggles came to a close early today
with the passage through parl.amen mt
by large majority of the bill cstab-
fishing In legislation the principle OF
minimum wage in the country
most important Industry. The mini
mum wage bill passed its third read
ing In the house of commons by a
vote OF 2l3 to 43, amid a scene OF
great excitement. The house of lords
reass bled at $3.50 o'clock to re-
ceive the bill and 1t passed its first
reading. Premier. Asquith on leaving
the house was cheered by all the
members. After a strike tasting near
~ month and involving the whole
country In distress, the miners thus
have secured recognition Of the prin-
cipie which they set out to obtain.
But they still are dissatisfied be-
cause the bill does not specify the
amount Of the minimum wage and
there Is no prospect of an immediate
settlement of the strike.
The miners leaders declare their
determination to keep up the strike
until they have secured giiara ntces
OF minimum wage scale u five shil-
lings ($1.25) for men and two sliil-
lings for boys, or until the difficult
ties are arranged.
What viii he the next step In the
struggle II Is inpossib, e to fortelL Bv
Thursday the minimum wage bill will
have received the roya; assent and be-
come a law. In the meantime the
miners federation and labor men will
hold meetings to decide upon their
future course. 4.
1t Is reported the government in.
tends to constitute n national wage
board with an Independent chairman
to endeavor- to secure the resumption
of work on q five and two shilling
basis.

Shall the People Rule?

This day will go down in history as a day deeply historic. Today a revolution as peaceful as that of Will liam and Mary is to be begun if it is ever to be begun in this country. In England's peaceful revolution the house of commons was installed as England's ruling power, and today the first step will be taken that will transfer the government of the United States from the monopolistic interests, the great protected interests, to the people-from a handful of associated schemers to 9O,00o, ,0O0 of people. Op- portunity to all is to be widened, the cost of living to all materially re- duced, and an end put to the panic scare that few big banks and mon- opolistic corporations always raise when their schemes are crossed or threatened.
 In Colonel Roosevelt's administra- ton the trusts were increased ten fold. They flourished like green bay tree, and yet the panic of 1907 swept over the land leaving starvation and desolation in its track. 1t was re- publican administration of high de- gree, and so was the panic of 1907, Dingley tariff and all, but the stand pat crowd and the third-term trailers have forgotten all about it.
 The keynote of the last appeal of the democratic standard bearer is popular rule as opposed to secret conferences and the dictation of com bined and extremely selfish, not to say grasping, interests.
 But the revolution is to be peaceful It is to be cautiously conducted after deep study and investigation. The people of Alabama know they can thrust Oscar Underwood to the utter most, and he will have charge of the revision of the tariff. AS majority leader he, too, will give shape to the Legislation directed against monopo- lies, and to the measures that will re- form the currency system of the country.
 With Woodrow Wilson as chief ex- ecutive and Oscar Underwood as gen. eral-in-chief the people of Alabama will rest content. Both are southern born. Both will strive to make the hisotry of the country.

MYSTERY IN ACTING

spirit can be visually conveyed Mani festly I must stand on the stage in the flesh. There is no mechanical aid what ever to give the impression that am not an ordinary human being. It must all be done by suggestion. In the second act am on the stage for 55 minutes, and that one act takes more of my vitality than three whole performances of The Music Master For nearly an hour must con- centrate my forces to think every blessed thing I make the people about me say, the people who can neither see nor hear me. If I did not succeed in this, I would lose my countenance and the spirituality of the idea would be lost. I would become ridiculous. fn all that time the many speeches have are really one long solilo- guy. never once can catch the eye of the person Lam talking to. l cannot even look at him; must look through him. If the spiritual idea eludes me for a sec ond. the whole play becomes ridiculous
 The Return of Peter Grimm is by far the most difficult thing have ever done, and I cannot tell you how learned to get these effects any more than can tell you how I learned to get the others They are all part of the great mystery"

CRIMINALS AMONG BIRDS

From the New York Press.
 The school of Lombroso asserts that almost every variety of human wrong doing finds its counterpart in the crimes committed by animals.
 Among bees there is much theft. Tn order to save themselves the trouble of working, the robbers attack the masses. kill them, rob the hives and carry off the booty when they cannot obtain it by stealth. Sometimes. having acquired an incurable taste for robbery and vio- lence, they form regular colonies of ban dts.
 It is possible to reduce these tiny enemies to law and order by the simple process of giving working bees a mix ture of honey and brandy to drink.
 Dove owners assert that in almost every dove cote there are birds that try to obtain material for their nests by ab- stracting straws that have been collected by others. These mild thieves are not only lazy, but unamenable to discipline by their fellows.
 Murder is not uncommon among ami mals, murder in this sense being ap- piled to that kind of killing that has nothing to do with the struggle for ex- istence, but which arises from malice, pure and simple, or from downright pas sion. Storks, it seems, frequently kill members of the flock which at the time of migration either refuse to follow them or are unable to do so.

WONDERFUL NEW VEHICLE

C. F. Bertelli, Paris, France, in Leslie's.
 The past summer has seen the realiza- ton in France. after a long series of experiments, of an entirely new sys- tenn of mechanical traction. For some time attempts have been made to solve the problem of aerial traction" as 1t is technically called. by which vehicles are moved not by force applied to turn ing the wheels, but by a propeller work Ing in the air, which pushes or pulls the vehicle as in an aeroplane. These ex- periments led to nothing, 1t being found that the force generated was insufficient to propel solidly built automobile, for instance, at anything like satisfactory rate, while the propeller itself was so large as to form a serious ineumbranoe.
 Things were at this stage when M Fill ippi French inventor, who has devoted years to the study of aeronautics in gen eral, came to the conclusion that ex- isting theories on the action of helical propellers were all wrong and perfected what he calls his ''rotative wing" which, although worked in the same manner as an ordinary propeller, is constructed on
 
 which, it is claimed, the problem of aerial traction is finally solved. It can be ap- piled, it appears, to the traction of any vehcle-those of the automobile type, sledges. barges and other river craft, vehicles of special build to travel over the desert in regions where no system of transport has yet been possible, and with extraordinary advantages over the present methods in every Instance.
 The absolute practicabilty of the 'ro- tative wing as regards automobile trac- ton was conclusively demonstrated by a trial run, in July last, from Paris to Lyons-distance of 345 miles--in a single day, with only hasty stops for fresh pe- trol, made by Count Bertrand de Les seps, on machine designed by himself and fitted with the new apparatus. The run was brilliant success, and the time taken-nine hours-would have been far less but for the fact that by an over sight very small petrol reservoir had been provided, which necessitated an un- due number of stops. The average speed was sixty miles an hour.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Trnnin snnnd Nee.ied

T am not a knocker, but I insist on IL that the commission should find a way to give us more polieemen-enough to de- tail b or 20 men for traffic squad" said a prominent citizen. we had an ade- quate traffic squad about two years ago, as I recall it. Life was well safeguarde1. If we needed traffic policemen two years ago we need them much more today.
 "Brminghams population has in creased, according to conservative esti- mate, fully 25,oOo since 1910. It is safe to say. suppose, that every city as large as Birmingham has a traffic squad. There should be an officer at all hours of the day and evening up to midnight on First avenue at the Twenty-first street bridge. In the late afternoon when the automobiles come speeding by that is Q particularly dangerous place.
 Birmingham is spreading out steadily and there are several more street inter sections now that are crowded with traffic than was the case two years ago, or even a year ago. It seems to me that Chief Bodeker does remarkably we'll with the comparatively small number of patrolmen in his charge. The police force has been cut down to 115 patrolmen and what we really need for a crowded, bustling city like Birmingham is total force of 300. Today the force numbers all told only about 140"

LILLIAN "pREAKING INF

 Pittsburg Telegram to the Philadelphia
 Public Ledger
 The embellishments of Pittsburg's social aristocracy are besieged by Miss Lillian Russell, the acress wife of Alexander P. Moore, publisher of William Films news paper and friend of Theodore Roosevelt. The famed footlight favorite and beauty specialist motored to Pittsburg from the east three weeks ago and is living with her husband at one of the downtown hotels. She is becoming acquainted with the to- pography of Pittsburg in her automobile. and creates quite furore among the women when she goes shopping.
 Through the business and social relations her husband has with Senator Film the lovely Lillian has become associated with Mrs. Finn and Misses Mary and Edith Finn, all of whom are active suffra- gettes and are working for the progress sive party by selling Roosevelt buttons and making street speeches
 With a score or more other women prominent in society and club life tho Film girls and their mother have opened Progressive store in lower Fifth ave- nue. where progressive emblems are sold to swell the campaign fund. Miss Rus sell is one of those in charge of the store. Here each day she meets the Films. Bakewells. Hayeses, Mellens, Bassets and others whose social positions are unques- toned, and here she is cultivating the friends who can get her into the exclusive set.

Evils of the Fee System

John w. Chamblee and Arlle Bar her seem alike incapable of estimat- ing and weighing population. For example, Jefferson county had In 1910 a population of 226,476, while Winston county had at that time 12,8S5, and yet the constitution makers of 1901 said that no law re- lating to county fees should be changed in Jefferson unless 1t was changed in an exaltly similar man ner in Winston.
 This pair of publicists would have us believe that 226,476 people en- gagged largely in industrial purslts should be handled in the same man ner and on the same basis as l2,8o5 people almost wholly given over to farming.
 The subject needs to be stated only. It does not need to be argued. The people of Alabama understand arith- metic and public affairs, and they are we'll endowed with common sense. Horse sense is sufficient in this case.
 The constitutional proposition does not affect any other county. It would simply permit Jefferson county to get on just and economical basis. Salaries that are more than princely would be abolished, and the oppres- sion and exploitation of the weak, friendless and ignorant would be ended.
 Don't forget the ballot of today relating to the constitutional propo- sition. It is ballot in itself. Get it and put it where it will do the most good today. -

Our Great Duty Today

Over-confidence is the only thing that stands in the way of a great and glorious democratic victory. Ev- cry busy man is apt to say, "My vote is not needed. My neighbors will east enough ballots"
 But this, alas, is not true. It is not patriotic, It is not unselfish, Ev- cry vote is needed in Alabama where we should strive to give Woodrow Wilson S0,000 votes. This would go far toward making our national stand ard bearer majority instead of a plurality President. To give him and his policies-which are the policies of every democrat - due weight we should give him popular majority.
 We gave Samuel J. Tilden pop ular majority 36 years ago, and the hour is come to repeat that verdict.
 This is why every one should go to the polls. Let us nave rom one end of the county today the Ira falgar spirit. Let every man do his public duty today. "For the first time," says the Atlanta Journal, "in nearly three-quarters of century we have the inspiriting opportunity to aid in making southern statesman President and Georgia woman the first lady of the land. We are bound to Woodrow Wilson first 0. all be- cause he represents those principles on which our own and the common country's welfare depends. But we are peculiarly bound to him because he was born beneath our own sun and bred among our own people. 1

sUFFRAGrsrs FOR WILSON

From the Woman's Journal
 The saying Many women, many minds" was never better illustrated than in the answers of the state presidents to The Woman's Journals question regard ing their personal preferences for Pres ident of the United States. The outcome ought forever to set at rest any fears that all the women would vote one way As was to be expected, they are as much divided in their choice as the men. E These opinions, of course, are personal and not official; and there is no cer- tainty in any state that the views of the majority of the suffragists are the it is of interest to see how the presidents of the state suffrage associations would vote this year If they had a chance.
 A few of the state presidents were moving about and could not be reached, and one or two thought it inconsistent with strict non-partisanship to express any opinion.
 Of the 39 answers received, IT are for Wilson. 13 for Roosevelt. three for Taft, one for Chatin. one for Debs. and four in doubt. af
 Evidently. no one can deliver the women's vote. Incidentally, the result shows how absolutely necessary it Is that the National association should remain non-partisan, as an organization, when its membership is so greatly divided in opinion

that a bigger European commerce
 will go through the port, Mobile has recently obtained South American line of steamers which is expected to add largely to the imports. Almost simultaneously with the establishment of this line a similar line between New Orleans and South American ports was abandoned, thus leaving Mobile clear field for the trade which the Mobile and Ohio railroad and the Munson Steamship company have created. What this means to Mo- bile in the years to come is best ap- preciated by contemplation of the Cuban trade which this port enjoys today under the same railroad and steamship auspices, and which has made Mobile the second port in the country in the Cuban business, New York being first"
 All the improvements in Mobiles harbor are gratifying in this district and it will not be long before self propelled boats carrying 1000 tons each will carry to tidewater the heavy products of this district. It is Mobiles part of the task to see that its harbor is accessible for large ships and this it is plain is the task it has in view.

Mobiles New 27-Foot Channel

Slowly, step by step, this district Is securing an easy road to the sea. Not only is the government building dams and locks in the Warrior and Tombigbee, but it is also digging and strengthening a channel 27 feet deep from Mobile to the bar, and a channel 35 feet deep across the bar. The channel between Mobile river and the bay has been strengthened and 6eepened, and the steamship Melford Hall passed through it. "This steam ship" says the Mobile Item, (which was the first to pass through the completed part of the new channel was the largest that has loaded in the port in cargo capacity. The regu- lar lines between Mobile and Euro pean ports are putting on heavier tonnage in preparation for the deep > channel. In addition to the signs
