Attack the RICH Cost of Dying.

Cincinnati Dispatch to New York Times.
The abolition Of floral tributes at fu-
nerals as means of lessening the
high cost Of dying" was announced
from the pulpit of st. Xavier, the lead
ing Catholic church of this city, when
IL was said no more such tributes
would be allowed in the church.
The thigh cost of dying" that has
received so much comment lately, is
laid to the extravaganza Of the friends
and relatives Of the deceased, who vie
with one another in the floral tributes.
Instead Of the floral display which
has been prohibited the church will
have memorial cards, which will be
distributed at the services and upon
which will be printed the name of the
deceased, age, and residence, a short
obituary notice. and the prayer that is
said for the dead.
Fathers Finn and Foley announced
this decision of the church, and 1t is

Mr.. Mellen's Retirement

Public sentiment forced C. S. Mel
len from the presidency of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road. For a long time he pursued a
policy which made only for unpopu-
larity. When he came to realize his
mistake, he sought to re-establish
himself in the good graces of his pat
rons by explanations and promises
but it was too late.
The New York, New Haven anc
Hartford set about to procure a mo.
nopoly Of the traffic of New England
and it practically succeeded. The gen.
eral public had not particular objec
ton to this. If manufacturer or 1
common carrier delivers the goods, tn,
public is satisfied. Service is the de-
mand of the day.
Mr.. Mellen failed to see this. While
engaged in acquiring a series of feed
ers to his main line, the main line it.
self was neglected. There was con-
stant complaint from those who were
compelled to use his road. Schedules
were uncertain; equipment was lack
ing. A number of wrecks, frightful in
their toll of human life, occurred, and
sentiment exerted itself in favor of a
change of management.
No one ever objected when E. H.
Hartman set about to improve rail
road. Their is little or no prejudice
against James J. Hill, and many 9TH
er railroad magnates might be named
who won their way by giving the pat
rons of their lines a full return for
their money.
The New York, New Haven anc
Hartford is splendid property, and
under new management and diff
ferent policy it will be of great heir
in building up the territory it ira.

A Year of Plenty

The growing crops in nearly every
section of the country give promise of
bumper harvests. Last year was a
great crop year and 1913 will proba-
bly, equal it. In some parts of the
country there will be even new high
record crops.
If the south does not produce its
largest cotton crop the yield will be
ahead of that of last year, which was
next to the largest crop ever raised.
Ten years ago corn growing in the
cotton belt was almost a negligible
quantity, but within the past two or
three years increased areas have been
planted in corn and more corn to the
acre has been raised. In Alabama the
corn area is only little more than
that of last year but there will be a
larger yield owing to better work on
the part of the farmer.
When crops throughout the country
are normal business prosperity natur-
ally follows and when crops are above
normal, as they frequently are, a
healthy business boom usually results.
The business situation is frightening
every day and it is safe to assume
that by the early fall general trade
will hum all over the land.
There can be scarcely any ques-
tion about the south's progress this
year. If no injury happens to cotton
and corn within the next few weeks
the whole south will feel wonderfully
rich by Thanksgiving day-richer
than ever before.

FUTURE OF Chiffon

From the Clanton Union Banner.
The Birmingham district is now con-
sdered the country over as the best
district in the south. For business and
for hustle there is none that equals
1t. Our county is right in the midst
of 1t. In fact. Birmingham district
extends for many miles around the
Magic City. The prospect of the coun-
ties adjoining Greater Birmingham are
brighter today than ever in the his
tory OF this country. Chiffon county
has advanced more in the last 10 years
than it did in the rs years before that.
1t Is moving upward every day and
the next 10 years will show a greater
increase than the 10 years just past.
The farming interest of the county is
advancing rapidly and when that inter-
est thrives and prospers all others ad-
vance. The farmers of Chiffon, we are
Informed, are In good circumstances
and the crops are fiourishing.
There is nothing to keep Chiffon
county from the front.

Fighting 1t Out

All that European diplomacy has
been able to do in the Balkan i'm
broglio is to confine the action to the
particular stage and among she par
tlcuiar parties most deeply concerned.
To 'let them fight it OUT was con-
sidered the wisest and safest course
for other nations to pursue, and thus
far the pursuit of that course has
preserved the peace of Europe, but
what will be the ultimate result of this
struggle is a question fraught with
grave considerations.
Most of these charges and counter
charges of mutilations and atrocities
must be taken with just so much salt
as may be necessary to assist diges-'
ton, but the fact that Greeks are
slaughering Bulgers and Bulgers are
slaughtering Greeks is, unfortunately,
only too true 1t is an appalling situa-
ton even at the best and no additional
atrocities are needed to awaken the
great powers to a sense of their duty
to interpose between the enraged COM
batants. To permit the prolongation
of the strife after the first fierce
passions have exhausted themselves
would assuredly be to encourage racial
and religious fueds that would be-
come practically interminable, and to
decide who is victor when all con-
cerned are vanquished is an impossi-
bility.
The future of the Balkan states de-
pends largely upon the action of Rus
sia and Austria. 1t may be possible
that Greece will preserve her inde-
pendence, but for the others, and that
part of Turkey taken by the allies,
there seems to be but one prospect
and that is ABSORPTION or annexation
by these powers. The Adriatic sea is
the objective point which Austria and
Russia are struggling to reach, and
to do sc they will trample over Rou-
manians, Bulgarians and Servians
when these states have exhausted
their strength fighting among them
selves.

MIR. Bart0n's Resolution

That the government build an arm
or plate plant and free itself from the
exactions of the "trust" is not a new
proposal. For years it has been
known that the prices paid by the
United States for steel to protect its
big warships have been exorbitant.
Never before, however, has the nation
been so completely aroused over the
situation, and never before have con-
ditions been so propitious for the
freeing of the country of this incu-
bus.
Representative Barton of Nebraska
has introduced resolution directing
the commissioner of corporations to
make a complete report within four
months on the cost of an armor plate
factory and the cost of making armor
plate and gun forgings in factories
owned by concerns dependent upon
government patronage. Mr.. Barton
feels confident of the passage of his
resolution, he declaring that the re-
publicans are as anxious as are the
democrats to curb the armor trust.
Insmatters of this kind the govern
ment always moves slowly, yet it
moves with the utmost precision. Bir-
! mingham believes that it is the logical
point for the establishment of a gov
ernment armor plate plant. Efforts at
this time to convince those in author
ity that such is the case may bear
rich fruit in the future. The claims
of every applicant for the factory
will be given consideration. If Bir-
mingham's showing is the strongest,
it will get the plum.
Therefore it behooves the citizens

wonted clarity and CELEBRITY when he is
confronted upon the platform by a
representative of that portion of the
human race which he SO often has
eulogized in eloquence and honored in
oratory?
And if he refuses the challenge,
naturally must come a suspicion that
he has not the courage of convictions
he has proclaimed. It is the acid test
for Mr.. Heflin. A marshaling of all
his faculties of adroitness, mobiiiza-
ton of his forces of wit are required
Bravery or chivalry-which will tri-
