Pierre V. r. Key in the Saturday Even
ing Post.
In atrecent talk that was practically a
confession, leading music publisher told
me there are not twenty American COM
pesers of good music whose yearly in
comes reach $1,000 each. There is a tre-
mendous demand for fine songs and piano
compositions that, though not technically
difficult, possess a melodic charm and
substance fitting them for popular con-
sumption. As matter of fact few liv-
ing composers in any country are appar-
entity able to provide material that will
bring them huge financial rewards.
Any question as to the number of
Americas composers who aim for big
stakes can be speedily answered by stat
irg that twenty-five scores were SUBJ
mitted for examination to the Metropoli-
tan opera jury, really an astonishing
number considering that some of the
best known writer's did not enter. Per-
haps they did not wish to risk defeat
though the competition preserved strict
secrecy as to all contestants except the
winners.

Anyone who is able to whistle an orig

compose such work is to set the music

and anything goes, so long as it gets
the money"
That scores of Americans are getting it
IS shown by their incomes-ranging from
$4,000 to the $4,000 commonly said to be
what the most popularly successful
writer of ragtime and other catchy music
receives. Men who derive $500 to $4,000
a year from their compositions OF musical
twaddle are to be found without trouble;
while the 5000 a year composers are
quite numerous.
To produce work of this character need

Conditions of Voting

Instead of enticing men to stay
away from the polls as the Alabama
constitution does the Utah senate has
passed bill which imposes on every
citizen, male or female, a tax of So
if he or she stays away from the polls.
Compulsory voting has many adj
yocates in this country as we'll as in
Switzerland, and the proposed Utah
bill is a measure that operates mildly
in that direction.
A failure to vote is failure to
perform ones greatest public duty,
and Alabama is suffering today from
a wholesale desertion of the polls.
Over 100000 white men stand dis
franchised in this state today. Instead
of offering them money to stay away
from the polls they should be forced
to go to the polls by means of COM
puIsory law of some sort.
This state is ripe for a change in
the qualifications for voting, and the
more the subject is discussed the
sooner will public sentiment demand
a reasonable solution of situation
that is far from being IDEAL

C0LDEsT CITY IN THE WORLD

From the Chicago Tribune.
Verkhoyansek, a good sized city in
Northeastern Siberia, boasts the distinc-
ton of being the coldest inhabited city
ON the globe. It is in north latitude 81
degrees on the arctic plane, and scarcely
more than $50 feet above the sea level.
Its annual temperature is s above zero,
and in winter the maximum is IS below
zero. The Russian government owns the
town, and is interested in having an ad-
ministrative center where clever and in
dustrious Yokuts. fur trader Jews of ST.
IBERIA, carry on their operations.
All the inhabitants of Verkhoyansek
with the exception of a few officials and
Russian traders are Yokuts. The Yokuts
are such ambitious and aggressive people
that they do not seem to mind the fact
that the rivers freeze to the bottom, and
that small trees have been known to snap
and split from the biting force of the
cold.
Still many Russians even seem to prefer
1t to warmer posts. It's atmosphere is al
ways clear and the air still, and there
arc no blizzards or snowstorms. Then
the Siberian dress adds considerably TO
the enjoyment of this arctic city. 1t con-
sists of two suits of fur, an outer and an
inner, and a huge hood to pull over the
face so that there is just enough space

The summer is hotter than might be
reasonably expected, the average tenn

Congress to Meet on April

A correspondence between the Pres
ident-elect and Mr.. Underwood has led
the former to announce that Congress
will be convened in extra session on
April l.
It seems to be understood that sew
eral of the Ia schedules of the tariff
bill will be ready at that time for the
immediate consideration of the House.
Three vacancies in the democratic
membership of the ways and means
committee will be filled by the eau
Gus of March 5. The places to be filled
are those now occupied by Senator
elect James and Representatives Ran
dell and Brantley. The work hereto
fore done will be revised by the new
committee and gotten into shape to be
laid before full democratic caucus
Immediately after Congress is con-
vened in April.
Currency legislation may be taken
up in the extra session. The President
elect seems to favor such action, but
the question is still an open one. If
tariff reform and currency reform are
both to be acted on in the extra ses-
sion, that session will not be very
short. Both are hard problems and the
solving of both. at the outset of the
new administration would afford a
chance to get both in good working
order by or before 1916.

THE FARMING MOTOR


The benefits derived by our farmers
from the pleasure of the motor car can
hardly be estimated. 1t is certainly
equal to the happiness given by the car
to people in other walks of life. IT can
also be claimed that in the purchase OF
the automobile by our country friends
there is an economic future. 1t enables
daughter or son of a farmer living
several miles from the village to mar
ket poultry, eggs, butter and similar
products, do the buying and return
home in two or three hours. In the
olden times this would require the loss
of the services of man and team
for the larger portion of a day.
OF course. it cannot be claimed from
this standpoint alone that its advan-
tages are commensurate with the cost
of the motor car and the upfeep. An
other factor is of more value. The
general use of cars by the farmers has
given great popularity to this method

AN ENORMOUS BEAT
, London Daily Mail.

From the London Daily Mail.
There are probably few policemen III
the United Kingdom who have more
extensive beat" than Joseph Rees, who
is stationed at Llangadock in Carinar-
thenshire, on the main road between
I.landilo and Llandovery. His district
comprises the four parishes of Llanda-
dock, Llanddeusant, Llansadwrn and
Llanwrda, with a total area of 1872 acres,
or more than II square miles. The con-
stable has a system of patroling the dis
trict in different directions on different
days and nights, but a special case of
inquiry may upset his plan. and there
fore he has no regular hours. AS a
matter of fact Rees considers 10 hours
tramping fairly short day. Although the
population is only from 1900 to 1000, Rees
has to watch the motorists, who are
numerous, and the worlsmen who flock
into the district in hundreds from the
Amman valley on Sundays and HOLIDAYS
to breathe the fresh air. He has also
to keep an eye on the game. Under the
Welsh Sunday closing act, he has to see
that only genuine travellers are served
- ''S PuDiiS HousS9' ''uhudyp III idct, Is
his busiest day. The district, moreover.
is overrun with Atramps. Between July
10 and August 81, Rees has to see that
the sheep-dipping is done, and as the
Welsh mountain sheep are as nimble as
hares. and not much bigger than grey.
hounds, there Is often exciting work in
tracking them down. When Rees arrests
anyone, he has to guard the prisoner in
his own house until he can convey him
to Llandovery, for there is no lookup at
Llangadock.

SAFE SENTIMENTS
the SATURDAY. Evening Post.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Two French orators made excellent
speeches at an American Thanksgiving
dinner In Paris and two Americans made
dreary ones. The first American had a
message to deliver, which was that Amer
leans should be upright in business; and
the second American, college professor.
went to it for the bigger part of an
hour on the necessity of educating chill
dren.
When it came another Americans turn
he said: "Inasmuch as one Of my distin-
guished countrymen has impressed on us
here tonight the startling truth that hon
esty is the best policy, and as another
distinguished countryman has assured us
that education is grand little thing
for the young, can find nothing more
to say except God bless our home.'" and
he sat down amid vociferous cheers.

Beginning October 8

The State Fair will be opened this
year on October 9 and will close its
gates on October 18. This is a week
later than the dates of previous years
and it is done to avoid, if possible, the
rainy period Wet weather and at
tendance at fair do not work we'll
together.
The board of directors and Presi-
dent Burton and Secretary Fowlkes
are all confident that a bigger and
better fair can be gotten together
than the state has ever witnessed.
This is the task before them and they
propose to bring it about. Novelty is
to be the keynote this year. Many
new attractions will be sought, until
a whole becomes possible unlike the
stereotyped fair in the south. Every
attractive novelty will be sought.
The people of Alabama do not take
kindly to the elimination of the horse
and of racing contests. Many hope to
see the horse restored to his old place
in the coming fair. All the automo-
biles in the world cannot make the
horse back number in this state.

Helping Birmingham College

The movement which was started
.ecentlv to raise $250,000 for Bir-
m;npham college has been meeting
with success, and the friends Oh the
institution feel greatly encouraged.
About sos, 900 has been raised already
and the general committee just or
,oanized. of which Bishop Mccoy is
chairman. will make an energetic cam
no;on from now until the last OF
April.
Birmingham college is under the
supervision of the north Alabama con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church. south, and the Metho-
dists hereabouts naturally take
much pride in it. 1t is estl-
mated that there are from 10000
to $4,000 Methodists inside the city
of Birmingham and many of them are
wealthy. In the canvass now pend
ing it is believed that contributions
to the fund will be generous and that
the 100000 mark will probably be
reached before commencement season.
Many citizens who are not members
of the Methodist denomination will be
glad to contribute when the can
yassing committee is on the home
stretch, so to speak. There is no
question but that the quarter of
million dollars will be raised during
the present year. Of that amount,
S125,0OO will be expended on new
buildings and other improvements,
and $125, 900 will be invested as per-
manent endowment.

A Grent Musical Attraction

'rina Lerner, the young Russian
pianist, who will give a recital at the
Jefferson theatre next Sunday after
noon under the auspices Of the Sun
day concert committee. is oA of the
most captivating artists who has ever
appeared in this country" said a prom
inent member of the musicaf set. "She
has made a furore in New York, Bos-
ton and in the other cities where she
has played.
There are number of great pian-
lists who are being cordially received
this season, but the newspapers and
musical journals have more to say
about Tina Lerner than any other of
the famous virtuosos.
"Those persons who are not holders
of Sunday season tickets can purchase
admission tickets at the theatre box
office There is every indication of a
packed house"
