serious disputation.

This high temperature we are hav-
ing is just what the growing cotton
and corn needs. While it is very hot
spell it is quite endurable for there are
cooling breezes during the day as well
as night.
The hot wave will add millions of
dollars to the wealth of the state. AS
for those persons who fret most about
the heat, they would complain if the
mercury were 10 degrees lower than
it is. This matter of complaining is
largely matter of habit and those of
us who accep. weather conditions as
we find them without murmuring are
all the happier.
The official weather man has been
cautiously forecasting showers-local
showers, they are called; but accord
ing to some of the weather prophets
we will have an electric storm and a
drop of many degrees in the tempera-
ture within the next "a hours.

President Wilson's Strenuosity

Theodore Roosevelt was a strenuous
President and he took great delight in
his strenuosity. While he occupied
the executive office the word stren-
uous came into every day use. But as
energetic and untiring as Roosevelt
was President Wilson is even more
strenuous. He is making a new high
record for doing things.
With the republics rapid growth
the presidency becomes more and more
of a strain on the incumbent Abra-
ham Lincoln was under a severe strain
from the time he entered the White
House in 81 until he fell by the as
sassin's bullet in 1865. And Andrew
Johnson, who, as vice president, sue
ceeded Lincoln, had trying time.
An exceptionally hard working
President was Grover Cleveland. The
administrative duties had very largely
increased WHeH ne DcCdlilc Cic CHlcl
magistrate and had he not been an
uncommonly strong man the grind
Of the office would have worn him
out. President Mckinley, having been
a singularly placid gentleman, showed
less of the strain than some of his
predecessors.
Mr.. Wilson has been President
nearly four months and it is reason
able to assume that no one who ever
occupied the executive office worked
as hard in similar period than he
has done. He has been confronted. by
many vexatious problems and he will
be confronted by many more. He has
won the esteem of the public regard
less of whether or not people agree
with his policies and methods. And
it must be a verile and well condi-
toned man indeed who can stand up
under great responsibilities in Wash
ington during the "good old summer
time"

THE SOUTH WINS
From Leslie's.

From Leslie s.
The south has carried off the prizes in
Congress-. The charmanships of the Lead
ing committees of the Senate and of the
House have gone to members from the
south.
Why not? This is a democratic admin
istration, and the south has been the
anchor and the hope of the democratic
party ever since the close of the war be-
tween the states.
More than this, the south has given to
the nation some of its greatest presidents,
it's ablest statesmen, its deepest thinkers.
No part Of the country is richer in nat
ural resources than what We call the
south" The greatest future development
of the nation, in material way will be
In the southern states. We predict also
that the greatest Industrial growth of the
country will be in the south.
Its cotton mills, iron foundries, Golfers
and lumber and sugar mills are estab-
lished on basis that 20 years ago would
have been thought to be almost impos-
sibe
For more than 25 years the advantages
to our great export trade offered by the
ports on the gulf and on the South At
lantic were loudly proclaimed and went
unheeded, but today the tide Of exports Is
running toward the south and establishing
it's superb harbors as commercial centers
OF the first rank.

prices today are small indeed COM
pared with what they will be 10 years
hence. There are not very many large
tracts of coal on the market but dur
ing two or three years large sales
have been made at prices under $50
an acre. In two or three years from
now S100 an acre will look cheap for
all this good Alabama coal land and
there are men living today who will
see coal property in this state selling
at $3.50 an acre.
In the meantime, it is encouraging
to know that Alabama coal business
is so brisk, that its future is so bright
and that labor conditions in the min
ing fields are so satisfactory.

To Decide Upon the Band


The Music Study club committee.
which will have charge of the public
concerts to be given in Capitol park
will meet today and decide upon the
band to be employed.
The fund for the park concerts
raised this summer is already larger
than any similar fund in previous
years. said one of the contributors
yesterday. Having heard Memoirs s
splendid concert at the jefferson thea
tre early in the. spring. I subscribed to
the fund this year thinking that his
band would be engaged for the park
concerts.
I'VE have had very good open air mu-
sic, but the fund will be large enough
this year to have better. We should
have band of at least 29 or 80. Mr.
Memoli is not only an able musician in
a general way, but while studying in
Italy three years he was the conductor
OF an official band of about 40 pieces
and man to hold such a position IN
Europe must be a musician of large
attainments as an Interpreter of STAN

No Breeches for George

John Bull continues to fright with
his austere frown the women of his
kingdom who would do otherwise than
he would have them do.
He positively denies the suffra-
gettes the right to poll their ballots,
and remains unmoved despite the fact
that one of the gentle bomb tossers,
in a spirit Of innocent amusement,
threw herself beneath the iron clad
feet of the charger of the King.
But this is not all. A recent news
item says:
King George today Joined
Queen Mary in her ban on women
riding astride by issuing another
royal decree that no woman rider
shall wear breeches in the pres
ence of the King or Queen
The issuance of that royal ukaze
was characteristically English. Moth
ing in the nature of an official pro-
test would ever be promulgated in
America should women do or attempt
to do anything equally as inoffensive
beneath the sun. In America, where
certain rights are believed to be in
alienable, it is generally held that a
woman should she desire to wear
breeches, may, after proper legisla-
tive procedure, wear breeches.
1t is coming to fine point when
women can do only those things which
her great granddame was permitted
by the grace of certain authority to
do. We glory in the spunk of those
girls of Montgomery. AS is remem-
bered when a certain board of direc-
tors of certain social club issued a
dreadful pronunciamento that within
the walls of the home of the organiza-
ton, no turkey trotting should be
trotted, the girls who turkey trotted
stepped quietly aside and organized
new club along progressive" lines.
1t unfortunately happens, however,
that the women of England, or rather
those of the sex who delight to ride
astride, wear breeches, vote and throw
bombs, cannot select new king. The
rule of prima genitu grows more and
more oppressive, and the time is al
most ripe for another Magma Charta.
In the meantime, the women will
probably remove the breeches, or HE
themselves from the presence of the
squeamish King.

he does about land, and for such a
person to give up business or pro-
fession of which he has some knowl-
edge to engage in one about which he
knows nothing whatever is almost cer-
tain to result in failure.
There are many things essential to
make farming a success, but there are
three absolutely indispensable to make
even living and they are knowledge,
capital and good land. Unless man
has these three elementary requisites
to begin with he will find that farming
is the most laborious and Improbable
of occupations, and it is usually the
man who has none of them to whom
the farm offers the greatest lure.
There is no reason why so many peo--
pie should believe that farming is the
refuge for all those who fail in every
other walk in life, and it is that un-
fortunate belief that leads to much of
the disaster attending the ''back to the
land' movement.
Instead of trying to persuade the
urban population to evacuate the cities
1t would be better to induce the rural
population to remain on the land. Each
fills his part to better advantage to
himself and the nation when he pur-
sues the avocation for which he is best
adapted by circumstances and educa-
ton, and in these respects the man
from the country is no better qualified
to go into business in the city than is
the city man to take up farm.

SIR JOHN LUBBOCK

From the kaknSaS City Times.
If you never have happened to come
across book on ANTS, Bees and wasps,' -
by Sir John J. lubbock you have treat in
store. The death of Sir John-long ago
buried under the peerage title of Lorl
Avebury-rscalls this book and others. tine
fruits of an extraordinary life.
Lord Avebury combined the tastes of a
scholar with the qualities of a man of af-
fairs. He was a successful banker, .ut
he was just as successful in his observa-
tions of the habits of ants and bee and
gasps. In the book just mentioned he
tells a fascinating story of his observa-
tions on colonies of insects.
In his prehistoric Times ard "Origin
of Civilization he shows the same re-
studies of the shell heaps, the earth
mounds, the caves and lake dwellings of
primitive man. While both these books
are old-they were written more than 40
years ago-they never have been wholly
superseded, although some of the conclu-
sions reached II. them have been modified
by later investigation.

been denied anything in their lives, and
who have chanced at times to be short
OF cash, proceeded to run up large bills
at 'Peggy's'' for her alluring Lucullan
delcaces.
When poor Peggy attempted to collect
these bills. the girls would be "out," or
they positively hadn't a cent to spare,'
or they were going to have money from
home soon, and would settle then," and
they put her off until she was on the
verge of bankruptcy. In tears she con-
fided her trials to one of her bright and
cash paying customers.
II shall have to fall" she wept. What
shall l do?"
'Do.'' cried the indignant girl. with the
spirit of feminine st. George. There is
only one thing to do. Those girls must
be made to pay. Give the whole bunch
to me-" Like an avenging angel she act
ually went through the college, and told
the careless and heartless (and greedy
young debtors just what she thought of
them. The result was that she handed
over to the astounded waffle maker that
evening more than $1,000 in cash.
Don't get into the way of running up
bills, girls. Keep within your income.

Immigration or Emigrntion.

Speaker Clark's interview which he
garding the large number of American
farmers who are annually going into
Canada and which he says should be
Kept at home, it seems is going to
bear fruit. as it has received more
than usual attention from all sections
of the country" remarked a we'll known
citizen. but 1t was the Alabama Land
congress that had already taken note
of that tide going out of our country
and were making preparations to try
and check 1T. Some months ago that
organization had taken it up with all
the railroad presidents of roads oper-
ating in Alabama and had urged them
to attend the next session of that con-
gress to be held in Birmingham in
November for the express purpose of
devising means of turning that tide
into this state.
This move has been met with the
response of the railroads and the major
portion of them have committed them
selves to attend but now it is for the
land owners and business men of Ala
bama to join with these and make this
what 1t should be to this state.
The land congress has wisely taken
into their councils the various commit
tees of the Birmingham Chamber of
Commerce and has shown them the
great inducements and advantages that
Alabama has to offer for this class
of desirable settlers, but the entire
body can well afford to fall in with
these committees and help make the
movement what it should be to Ala
bama and to Birmingham.
Facts were brought to the atten-
ton of these committees which, if pre-
sented to intelligent investors, will i'm
press them with what Alabama has 10
offer and with the powerful agencies OF
the railroads, the same agencies that
are now in use to take these classes
out of the United States, there will be
much better show of turning them
toward labama."

In the Business World

BUSINESS seems to be generally active,
but I think every business man will he

II. Skaggs of Chicago.
Some people think that change in
party administration tends to keep busi-
ness back, but if we have the big crops
this summer that are promised there will
be a great deal of prosperity in the fall.
MI. Skaggs said that he had seen The
Age-Herald's Silver Jubilee edition in
Chicago and that he thought it was a
great piece of newspaper enterprise. "rhe
Jubilee Edition." said he, was full of
interest from cover to cover. 1t was an
exceptionally fine piece of work,
thought, and 1 greatly enjoyed reading
it."

CONCERNING LIFE.

CAYs Professor Meiklejohn of Am
herst. Life in its essence is a
game He might have expressed
himself more simply and more forcibly
by saying, Life is game' and none
would have risen 10 argue against him
in the matter. but the average college
professor rather, the college professor
who breaks into print frequently, feels
impelled to add these erudfte touches
which bespeak the academic mind Life
is indeed a game, a game in which much
Is won and much is lost, and the man
who is fitted to play the game best is soon
shown by the way he loses. What we
need in life is more good losers" When
we consider that in every individuals ex-
perience more is lost than is won, even
when he ranks among the favored few,
in order to keep the world sweet and the
lesser wheels within wheels smoothly re-
volving it is necessary to have plenty of
hearts that are not imbittered by disap-
pointment. There is never a human be-
ing born who is not, sooner or later, dis
appointed, sometimes to very great de-
gree, and If all of us were hard losers
life would most assuredly be not worth

When Farming Fails

Congested cities, congested profess
sions and high cost of living are the
three great economic evils today, and
the remedy offered by all those who
have undertaken to study the ques-
ton with a view of finding solution
seems to be universally expressed in
the pharse, 'back to the land"
There is much to be said in favor of
this suggestion, but there are great
many things that might and ought to
be said to those who are likely to be
influenced by the suggestion, and the
very first would be to ask the question
what do you know about the land :?
The probabilities are that there's
hardly anything about which the
dweller in the city knows less than

The Pig Iron Market

There is a better feeling in pig iron,"
says Matthew Addy & Co.. in their report
just issued. mo doubt of it. For two
tionary and there is much to indicate tha.
the long continued decline in prices has
been checked. Sales have been heavier.
although of course the prices realized
have been unsatisfactory as there is no
profit in them. Prices have reached such
furiace stacks. In Alabama four have
gone out this month. In other sections
ihe same thing has happened and the
June output will be less than that of any
other month SO far this year. 1t does not
take long when furnace production begins
sary consumptive demands of the country,
and this is exactly what the present .un-
profitable prices will eventually do, and
the much larger current sales of iron
are brought about by the realization of
the buyer that prices are low and that
production is being rapidly lessened
Not only are iron masters disturbed
by the low prices quoted today, but they
are distressed by growing shortage OF
labor In every section of the country
labor is scarce. There are not enough
men in the mining districts to run the
mines full.
TT certainly looks from all indications
that pig iron at today's quotations would
prove a good purchase"

In Alabama Coal Fields

There has been marked development
in the coal fields of the Birmingham
district within the past three or four
years and development on large
scale will continue. The coal operators
of Alabama are highly prosperous and
mining conditions have improved
steadily. The welfare work in this dis
trict has been very noticeable and it
is safe to say that in no part of the
United States are coal miners so we'll
paid or so we'll housed, as a rule, as
they are in Alabama. Compared with
the miserable conditions prevailing in
West Virginia the Birmingham district
seems simply ideal.
When the Mine Inspectors institute
met here early in the month the prom
inent visitors expressed themselves
strongly in appreciation of the excel
lent conditions they found hereabouts.
"What most impressed me-" said Ar
thur Mitchell, assistant state mine in
spector of West Virginia, twas the
Clean house proposition in the Bir-
mingham district" President Adams
of the Mine Inspectors institute of the
United States stressed the admirable
sanitation that he found in Alabama's
mining camps. And E. B. Sutton of
the United States bureau of mines
summed up his observations with these
remarks: cleanliness, comfort, safety
appliances, excellent up-keep of ma
chinery and very systematic arrange
ment and management mean continual
growth and expansion"
Within 10 years there has been a
natural advance in the selling price
ef good coal property in Alabama, but
