bound hand and foot to the specula- tors and the cold storage combine?
 T. H. Vaughan is right when he says The Age-Herald does not con- slider the retail grocer at fault, but he is asking good deal when he says The Age-Herald should Ego to the bottom of the matter and find out where the blame lies" No one has been able to call names," to use a phrase of President-elect Wilson, in the four big cities, and The Age-Her- aid is not able to call right from the reel the names of the cold storage warehouses or the cold storage specu- lators that find a profit in dealing in the necessaries of life. The egg and butter spectators are under fire, and their names may be disclosed, but thus far not one has been in the four big cities. Birmingham is not one of the Big Four and MT. Vaughan should not expect this town to do more than has been done in the coun- try's four big cities.

CHOICE OF TWO DEATHS

From the Los Angeles Herald.
 Dr. Nolan McFarlane 5217 South Main street, who, while helpless beneath his overturned motor car few days ago, empted the contents of morphine bottle into his hand with the intent to take his life to escape being burned to death, given the psychological reason which led to his step to take his life.
 q never for moment believed I could escape" the physician said. After leav- ing my home I stopped and filled my gas- oline tank. 1 had reached the top of the long hill that leads to Belvedere and the home of my patient when the trouble began. My lights went out at the top of the hill. l relighted them, but they worked poorly, then suddenly I felt my self descending.
 "I fought with my car, but it continued to twist and skid. Then suddenly 1 felt the call that mariners in mythology are said to have felt from the sirens.
 q was being carried forward swiftly and softly. I knew l was in my car, yet it was so smooth I knew then that l was in semi-trance 1 had no fear. Sud- denly it came to me that I was nearing my end. Never in my life have felt the way I did. My car struck the bridge at the bottom and toppled over l said to myself, I will be dead in an instant During the interval of time required for me to fall 10 feet I reviewed my past life, figured exactly in what condition l was leaving my family, then struck the ground. For moment I was dazed. Then I saw the kerosene light flickering. l called Justify for help. I realized that was at the bottom of ravine and that my voice could not rise above it. I was helpless and alone. Then l realized that my clothing was saturated with gasoline, and could hear it drip from the tank. It takes but a few moments for flames to do their work. I discovered that my left les was badly broken at the ankle. l had one free arm.
 My first thought was for my pistol. If a man is to die let him die. Then l thought of my medicine case. I found it with my free hand and emptying the con- tents into my hand thought l had found way, when it suddenly dawned on me that the quantity 1 had was not suf- ficient.
 An instant later l heard a voice. called loudly and it answered me. I shouted for the man to hurry and he replied that he had a handful of matches and he would strike a light to see where was. I screamed a warning not to light a match A moment later the motor car was pried up and I was drawn out.''

Promiscuous AImsgiving

Recognized institutions under the man. agement of responsible persons are the ones which ought to command our char ity," said a business man, and so far as I can see, these institutions are suf- fering as a consequence of all this pro- miscuous aims giving to be seen on the streets at present.
 "I suppose there's no city in the south where so many people are to be found with loose change in their pockets. Nick els and dimes are regarded as chicken feed and all that any mendicant has to do Is to get little box and hold it out and in pours the loose change. It may be all right, but it opens the door to a great abuse of peoples generosity and to the injury of the really deserving.
 'I see men and women going around collecting on the streets, and who or what they aree collecting for l have no idea. There Gre always people to be found to take advantage of such times, and conditions as we are having now, and the public should be protected against imposters by requiring every person col lecting to obtain permission from the chief of police, and then to show a badge in proof of the permission"

Taft.s Third Message

Congress has adjourned until Thurs day, January 2, and the appointments of President Taft go over to that time. This is well. President Taft IS oyerworking himself in his final months of power. He has in less than a month sent to the Senate 1900 ap- pointments, when MT. Cleveland un- der like circumstances sent in but 400 during the entire short session. In his third message he attempts to justify the placing of 36,000 fourth class postmasters on the classified list. He says he did it "before the election" :" He did it last August when he knew that both he and his party were to be defeated on election day. He certainly saw what was coming, and he no doubt acted in accordance with his knowledge.
 His third message is his poorest one, for he advocates in it the perpet- uation of the Remsen board which put benzoic acid in the canned food of the people, and which would no doubt continue to be a device for the pro- tection of dishonest manufacturers of articles of food. The country has had enough of the Remsen board, and it hopes the time is fast coming when it's salaries will be cut off as those of the commerce court soon will be.
 The appointment of pr. Wiley to the head of the department of agri- culture would give the people not only pure food but an assurance that no device and no combination would be permitted to intervene to the con trary.

TWELVE HOURS WITH THE POPE

that racks him, gout, becomes less poign- ant. There he can speak his dialect freely and give himself up without fear of indiscretion to joking and intimate chat.
 But let us take look at Plus x at luncheon. The table Is oval and rather large. He sits at the head. At the same table, but with a certain distance due to the rank of the sovereign pontiff, sit thes two private chaplains. Plus x broke the fashion that the Pope must eat alone. Imagine the scandal that was aroused in certain quarters! And the scandal grew when it became known that Plus x. h,,d,r on a very few solemn occasions, permit ted his sisters to eat at the same table with him. On few other occasions the three ladies had merely been present while he dined. Unheard of innovation ths But the Holy Father ignored the wagging tongues, and today the visits of his sisters to the Vatican seem strange to no one.
 A menu specially designed for his age and infirmities is served to Plus x. It is not true. as has been reported, that he has big appetite and needs much food and drink. Generally, he takes a soup. preferably of chicken broth with rice, q little boiled fowl or a veal outlet; some fish or some other dish of white meat" with cooked vegetables and fruit. He drinks mineral water and glass of very. old Bordeaux. After luncheon, Plus x takes a cup of coffee.
 By o'clock luncheon is usually over
 
 the air clear the Pope rests awhile at the window
 At 2:9O he goes to his bedroom Then from the Piazza San Pietro and the Piazza Rusticucci his attendants may be seen closing the shutters. When the weather is warm the Pope lies down: , when rested he again .descends to his study. In summer he stays there until 690, or z. in winter until ,.
 On summer and autumn afternoons Plus X takes walk in the Vatican gardens. Leaving his carriage. he stops awhile be- fore the reproduction of the Grotto of Lourdes; then he takes few turns along the paths, says a word or two to the persons in his suite. to the gardeners, or Ito wlonsoever he meets.
 At sharp the customary dimming of the electric lights is noted; the Pope is going up in the elevator to his rooms. He says the rosary with his companions and then sups. The evening meal is very frugal: A 'minestra' a'-generally broth two eggs, some cooked vegetables, pre- serves. Soon afterward he retires.
 Opinions as to his greatness as a Pope may differ, but he will live in the hearts of Romans as a Pope who never per- mitted his dignity to alter the simplicity of his character or the warmht of hls heart.

RECOGNIZED IT
From Tit-Bits.

From Tit-Bits.
 A certain London clergyman who had been travelling in Greece found himself compelled to stay the night at mon astry on Mount Athos. The welcome was warm, but the food execrable, in particular the soup, which the guest could hardly force himself to swallow. Being a classical scholar, his knowl- edge of ancient Greek helped him to some understanding of the monks. who spoke the widely different modern tongue, and he was astonished to hear that the unpalatable soup was an Eng fish dish
 "English,' cried one of the monks, adding that an English sailor had heen there not long before and recognized it.
 What did he call it?' asked the clergyman.
 The monk had to think for moment before he could recollect the strange English name of that soup. An. he had It was "bees'ly muck!'

Effective Work at Auburn

Those who had the pleasure of meet ing President c. C. Thach of the Ala bama Polytechnic institute, Auburn, while he was in Birmingham this week got good touch of the enthusiasm which always pervades the popular seat of education over in Lee county.
 Auburn is doing splendid work" said man who takes an active interest in technical training. 'rhe enrolment at this time is 77O divided as follows: Three hundred and twenty in the de- partment of agriculture which includes horticulture, botany, animal industry and veterinary medical science and APO in the engineering depar sment-civil engineering, mechanical engineering, mining engineering, electrical engineer ing and architectural engineering. The student body is made up of sturdy young men and nearly every one of them will, 1t may be assumed, give a good account of himself in the prac- tical affairs of life.
 "The Alabama Polytechnic institute was established in 1872 to promote the science of agricultural chemisty and the mechanic arts. At that time there had been little development in special ized engineering but there was thor ough instruction in civil engineering at Auburn. Courses in mining, mechan- ical and electrical engineering were added as the demand arose. This insti- ute was the first in the south to es- tablish a chair of architecture. In fact, the institute at Auburn, I believe, is the oldest technicologica1 school south of the Mason and Dixon line.
 Nearly 10000 young men have been students at Auburn. There are today in Jefferson county 1000 Auburn men and in the student body of the current scholastic year are found 92 Jefferson county boys. or the Auburn men in this district many of them hold high positions in industrial corporations An official of one of the iron companies told me not long ago that he had un- der him several technically educated young men, all of whom had received their training al Auburn and every one of them, he said, had made good

Congress under the constitution of the United States" In other words, where the federal government steps in the state steps out.
 Nor does Mr. Taft's opinion in the case of non-navigable river in Iowa support a different interpretation. In discussing the navigation of a stream he said: With reference to the wa ter power, the federal government has no function except in respect to water power which it itself creates by its own investment in property that it itself owns, and then, of course, it may say how that water power shall be used."
 When the government builds dam either directly or through an agent it buys the land at each end of dam and possibly good deal of land to be covered by the impounding of water, and to say that the federal govern ment does not have proprietary in terest in the water power developed by it's dam under such circumstances is carrying the state rights doctrine further than the development of the state, to say nothing about the de- cisions of the supreme court, would warrant.

Lower Prices for Eggs and Butter

Eggs have been marked down in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and Boston to 24 cents a dozen, or less, and butter is about to follow suit. In the cities named as many as nine dozen of eggs may be purchased by a consumer. This would centainly help ssome," even if highbrow professor says all such sales are economically unsound and of no particular benefit Nine dozen eggs at p cents-the present Philadelphia price-is certain ly a particular benefit to the con- sumer who had been paying 40 cents or upwards per dozen.
 As matters stand the big cities are finding ways in which the high prices of eggs and butter can be rendered reasonable and normal, while the cities of less than SO0,000 inhabitants seem to be in hole. This is a queer state of things, and the latter should begin to inquire What's the matter with our lesser cities?" Are they

This has all ways been the case and this year is no exception to the rule This year a breath ing spell Is needed. The whole trade has been under great strain since July l. In every department there has been tremen- dous activity, many finishing shops work ing over time. and shut down to overhaul machinery, take inventories, etc., vii, come as an agreeable change.
 But while new buying has not been of large volume, something has been doing right along. Prices are firm. The sugges- tive thing about current orders is that most of them are for prompt shipment and they come from concerns that thought they had bought all the iron they need. But such has been the expansion of their business that their requirements have exceeded their anticipations, and Yn active market is expected soon after the New Year"

uNpERwooD,s HOPES AND FEARS

From the Providence Journal.
 Mir. Underwood's frank talk on the
 subject of tariff revision with the
 Washington correspondent of the Jour nal, published yesterday, is another revelation of his practical sense and sound statesmanship. The leader of the House does not approach the heavy task before him in any boastful spirit. He fully realizes it's difficulties. Ihe sentiment of the democratic party anu of the country in favor of reform is
 obviously sincere. But the special privileges so long enjoyed by the bene- ficiaries of protection have come to be regarded by them as vested in terests; and this view has even been | imposed upon the very sufferers from these special privileges. That is why the argument that no one must be "hurt" is so often effective in blocking
 needed reduction of the tariff sched-
 ules. Mir. Underwoods reference to
 the conflicting opinions on particular points which he expects to find even among the democrats in the House is
 an admission of the truth that neither party has a monopoly of selfshness and narrowness when it comes to deal ing with the protection" which a
 members own district receives or eN- poets.
 r MT. Underwood further, and with reason, distrusts the action of the Sem ate. In the first place, if the demo- lcrats have a majority there it will he by the barest of margins. There are progressive senators like MT. LaFol- lette and MT. Cummins who might be Iexpected to support tariff revision in a general way; but their course hitherto
 has indicated that they are not to be depended upon in carrying out con-
 sistent lowering of schedules. Again,
 as Mr. Underwood points out, the Senate rules of procedure, with the op- portunty they offer for well nigh end
 less obstruction, will make the pro- cess of taking the starch out of
 tariff bill comparatively easy. But he counts upon the force of public opinion
 to help him here. Any democratic senator who repeats the tactics of the
 senators from Havemeyer" at the time of the Wilson bill will incur
 burden of odium from which the most
 indifferent might shrink. Although
 Mir. Underwood does not ignore this
 possibility he faces it hopefully. "l
 am sailing between scylla and Charyb
 dis" he says. "but expect to succeed
 In steering clear of both"
 Fortunately for the country, his ca pacity as a leader is not untried. No
 man now in Congress has a larger
 measure of public confidence. His op ponents would do well to remember that.
