Will Benefit Entire State

Although the Alabama State Land
congress does not meet here until
November county delegations will be
appointed by the probate judges with
in the next few weeks. Now that
the leading newspapers of the state,
especially those of Birmingham, Mo-
bile and Montgomery, are giving the
land congress active support there
can be no question of a, large and rep
resentative gathering.
Every county in Alabama will be
well represented and President N. F.
Thompson hopes to be able to an
nounce shortly that the United States
Secretary of Agriculture, David F.
Houston, will take part in the meet
ing. Mr.. Houston is a fine speaker
and his name on the programme will
be in itself a large attraction to the
farmers of Alabama. The Secretary
has already intimated that he would
accept the invitation to address the
land congress and it is safe to assume
that a positive acceptance will be
Forthcoming.
Congressman Underwood will at
tend the land congress and among
other prominent men who will be ex-
pected are President w. w. Finley of
the Southern railway and Chairman
B. F. Yoakum of the Frisco. These
two railroad officials have given much
study to large problems affecting the
farmer and both are felicitous
speakers.
The Alabama State Land congress
was organized at Mobile last Novem-
Der under such bright auspices that
the second meeting, to be held in Bir-
mingham, should be notable in
achievement. Scientific agriculture
business economy in marketing crops,
rural credits and many other oues-
tions of deep interest will be discussed
The Birmingham meeting is sure to
mark great advance in agriculture in
this state.

THE VANDALS ECLIPSED

From the Louisville Courier-J journal
Miss Violet Ashton-Cross, an English
girl. whose Pelinese dog was killed, says
she has received the following letter:
Madame; We are very sorry your pret-
ty dog was sacrificed, but our rules must
be inexorably enforced, and we are re-
solved to stop at nothing now. Every
valuable prize winning dog or race horse
will be manned or destroyed when the
chance presents itself until we get votes
for women. MONKS HOOD"
The vandals under Genseric were cred-
tied with playing the role of the bull in
the china shop TO perfection. Gibbon
says they were somewhat slandered, ard
that they didn't commit one-half of the
vandalism with which they are popu-
larly charged. But admitting that they
did, and that there were excellent asons
for the coinage of the word which links
the name of that people with eternal
infamy, they are eclipsed by the she devils
who propose to go about killing pet dogs
and manning thoroughbred horses in the
furtherance of the design to make the
British Isles a hell upon earth until the
ballot is given to them as blackmail.

Fifteen hundred representatives act
ing broadly and unselfishly will decide
what is best for the church that came
to us from Scotland in the early days
of the colonies. The Presbyterian
church is far older than the republic,
and it certainly knows whether organ
ic union is desirable or not. The
looker-on from the outside certainly
thinks it is not only desirable but
wholly natural.

BREATHING AND EATING
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.


That eminent authority on many alb
struse subjects. Thomas A. Edison, is
charged with saying that we should eat
as we breathe, without thinking of the
process and with no more enjoyment than
we find in keeping the lungs supplied. In
short. a fuel, and SO long as the9As
short, we should regard food merely as
we regard fuel and so long as the
fuel does its Norl.-keeps the engine going
the question of taste and smell and Incl
dental enjoyment has nothing to do
with 1t.
AT one fell swoop the chefs and menus
and palate ticklers of all degrees, would
go glimmering.
The high cost of living would humble
itself in the dust, the middleman would
go broke. the delicatessen shop would
close its doors
Plain food, plain and filling, would be
required. Mush, beans, soup, turnips-
they are not appetizing. merely filing.
The seven course dinner would be
passed up. The after dinner speaker
would be heard from no more.
Eating would then be a matter of ne
oessity-not a pastime. A bowl, a spoon.
And all this, and more, would happen II
man ate with tho same unconscious in
difference that he breathes.

lessly suppressed And what is the re-
suit? Dullnsss, dullness evsrywherel The
clever person is actually made to feel
that he is bore. II he starts a real
conversation he fancies people begin to
yawn. The result is that he lapses into
silence and ends by eschewing society al
together. The loss is his and society's.
The word salon Is pitfall that the
writer carefully avoids. We want no
salon, but we want people to talk about
real things with as much freedom and
vlvacity as they can bring to bear, Dull
ness people will not endure for long. and
tho choice lies between horse play and
better talk. Horse play is already begin
ming to be tiresome. and, If for no other
reason, we ought to give wit a chance.

Pan-Presbyterian Activity

Fifteen hundred commissioners rep
resenting the northern, the southern
and united Presbyterian churches and
Associated Reform churches constitute
a gathering never before equalled in
the history of a church family that
total two million members. The
Cumberland Presbyterians alone are
holding out, but their assembly is in
session at Bowling Green, KY The
commissioners in Atlanta represent,
however, fully 90 per cent of all the
Presbyterians in the country.
Because they are to NEST and act in
one city it does not follow that organic
union will be the outcome. 1t is SIM
ply the hope of many broad-minded
and patriotic people. The Atlanta as
semblies afford room for this hope,
and the sessions of the Presbyterian
assemblies will be watched with deep
interest. Never before have these
assemblies sat SO NJ 9ther in
a representative capacity, and a joint
assembly becomes possible on any oc-
casion that may arise.
No prediction of the outcome is
necessary or needful or even possible.

RAPID FIRE MAsTERPIECES

From I1t-Bits.
One of the most famous books of re-
cent years is The Roadmender." by
Michael Fairless 1t has gone into edi-
ton after edition and was the first and
last work of quiet little girl, the niece
oil the present archdeacon of Chester, DIR.
Edward Barber. This book is one of the
most rapidly written masterpieces in lit
erature, for 1t was written on the young
authoress's deathbed in the short space
OF nine days, and during this time she took
no nourishment of any kind save a little
iced water.
Bishop Heber, while on a visit to his
tather-in-law, Dean Stanley, wrote sFrom
Greenland's Icy Mountains" in IL min
utes' making but one correction, the
change of Savage" for heather" in the
second verse.
The present Lord Tennyson tells in his
charming biograph of his father, the late
poet laureate. that he wrote Crossing the
Bar In few minutes. He had been
down to Salcombe, near Bolt Head. where
there is bar which makes a curious
moaning. He sat on the cliffs listening to
IT, but it was not until long afterward tha t
the great lyric came like a flash of in
spiration."
Dr. John Brown wrote his famous "Rab
and His Friends" in an evening, Doctor
johnson finished "Rasselas' in a week,
and Lord Byron wrote the Prisoner of
Chillon" at a sitting.

Hotels and Auditorium

birmingham may have been a bit
slow in getting into the $1,000,000 ho-
tel class but now that two skyscraper
hostelries are being erected this city
will shortly have a reputation for its
hotel accommodations that will re-
dound to it's credit throughout tho
country SAID a member of the Cham
ber of Commerce last night.
"The most pressing need now is tho
large auditorium which was recently
piected 1t is very desirable that work
@ Nan auditorium should start this
ST per so that we could begin to
go Nt after certain great national
meetings that will be held in 1914. I
read the editorial on this subject in
today's Age-Herald. 1t seemed to me
to cover the situation fully. 1t seems
that a lot adminsbly situated has been
optioned at an extremely low price and
it is hoped the Chamber Of Commerce
auditorium committee will see its way
clear to get busy"

City Committee to Meet

The city democratic executive COM
mittee is to meet next Monday, and
it will proceed no doubt to name day
for a democratic primary in the sum-
mer season. The election takes place
in September, but the primary is the
real election day in this one-party
state.
The meeting of Monday night at
the courthouse will not only pave the
way for the naming of democratic
candidate for the city commission, but
it will be asked to consider the sub
mission of a question that will test
the popularity Of the entire commits
sion itself.
The submission of the latter ques-
ton to the people would certainly
bring out full vote. 1t would put
ginger in the primary, and every quail
flied voter would find it difficult to
stay away from the polls.
There is really no reason why the
question should not be submitted, even
if it be at present merely academic.
Perhaps it would be we'll to submit
this question at every city primary
that is held, for in that way the COM
mission plan could be weighed and
adjusted. A commission needs to have
the popular will behind it even more
than the old aldermanic did.

puniished they will probably indicate an
immense harvest" said S. F. Radway OF

wheat belt unusually favorable

THE HERALD FOR UNDERWOOD
From the NJ obile Item.

The chorus of praise for Mr.. Under
wood is loud, insistent and countrywide.
The New York Herald says, There is not
dissenting voice. Every Voice joins the
chorus of praise for his magnificent
management in putting the tariff bill
through the House so expeditiously and
with so little friction"
Never before has Mr.. Underwood stood
quite so high in the estimate Of the coun-
try says the Herald. IAN IDEAL leader,
a hard fighter when fighting is necessary,
but willing to talk softly wnen the need
runs in that direction; statesman of
iine intelligence, and, above all, a man
endowed with fine business sense.
Coming, and coming strong. What
other democrat eligible for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1916 can compare with
tm?"
This strong commentator is as fatter-
ing to Alabama as it is to the state
distinguished son.

Disposing of Property by Will

When Vice President Marshall
warned the rich and needless that
s.the right to inherit and the right to
devise are neither inherent nor constl-
tutional, but, upon the contrary, they
are simply privileges given by the
state to it's citizens" he builded pet
ter than Ne knew. He really started
. discussion which has passed at one
point at least into judicial decision.
Surrogate Fowler of New York city IN
deciding will case says that tine
hest thought of the world at the pres
ent time is generally conceded TO be
EXPRESSED by the conclusion that the
right to dispose of property after
death is a natural and inherent right
of mankind which cannot be taken
away by the state" Surrogate Fow-
Ter sustains this position by quotations
from the great jurists and phlloso-
piers of all times and places.
But natural rights as well as sta
tutory rights may be attacked by
demagogues, and Vice President
Marshall was not far wrong when he
said the state can and does say how
and even to whom property may be
devised. The death taxes OF Great
Britain and the inheritance taxes OF
this country all relate to this question.
The thing to do is to teach respect
for law everywhere, for when that is
done natural rights expressed as they
are sure to be in statutory rights will
go unquestioned commanding the re-
spect of every good and intelligent
citizen.

Cotton in the Eastern Belt

All crops promise well this year
and cotton in the western and central
portions of the belt is no exception.
It is as promising as winter wheat,
and that is saying a good deal.
The only doubt existing relates to
the supply of moisture and warmth in
the Atlantic and Southeastern gulf
states. The cool nights have pre-
vented some of the seed from appear
ing above the surface and this had
led to considerable replanting. The
weather in the east is, however, un-
settled, and rains may come at any
time, and then all misgivings over the
crop will be forgotten. This was the
case in the big crop year of 1911, and
until May is ended no one need great
ly fear the effects of dry weather in
the eastern belt.
The acreage is larger-how much
larger cannot be determined while
the dry weather lasts. The chances
are that America will grow the cot
ton that the world needs and that eff
forts to grow important parts of the
worlds crop elsewhere will be dis
couraged.
Just as soon as rains and warmer
weather come to the southeast the
crop situation will become highly ac-
ceptable and satisfactory, and every
day the weather clerk predicts for
this section just what it needs. Let
us be hopeful.

Wall street hasn't friend west of

railway kings of America said recently.
Wall street is merely a counter ov.r

posed to do their trading. The gentle.
men behind the counrer are dependent
upon customers. but If those customers
decline to come up to the counter toeu
things go hard with Wall street. It cam

change has had some pretty hard knocks
and am inclined to believe that the gem
tlemen on the floor are not by any means
through with all their troubles. Thew
seem to have had regard only for them
selves and cared little for the real inter-
ests of the rest of the country. 1t made
no difference to them what they did to
values. They would as soon ruin a proner-
ty as to build it up. They are not the
constructors and makers of real values

The Iron Market

las far as buying is concerned the pig
iior. market Is rapidly changing for the
better" says Matthew Addy & Co.'S Gin
cnnati report. "A really good sized buy
ing movement is In progress, and while
there has been some placing of small or
ders, the popularity of the present pur-
chasing is that it has up to date been
practically confined to the wholesale buy
ers. The very heavy consumers have been
buying in large lots.
There have been two lots of 10000
tons placed md several other round tom
nages. These orders have been placed
quietly. While as a rule deliveries have
been for the last half of the year, yet
considerable iron has been bought for
early shipment. Naturally the furnaces
are feeling more hopeful as the condition
of their order books is improved over
last week. Prices are remaining steady
S12 Birmingham and SIS f. o. b. ohio fur
naces for No 2, are the accepted quota
tions.
"In addition to the orders that have
actually been booked there is a fair in
auiry and the prospects for further busi-
SIS are excellent. There can be no doubt
hut that great deal of iron will be
needed for the last half.
There is still much complaint regard
ing slow time made by the railroads. In
nearly every iron district there is an
alarming shortage of labor. This is an
extremely serious matter, and the chances
are that the labor situation will not get
better until the summer is over"
