Successes of Present Day
Pygmies Compared to
Ancestors.

The most successful in the arts
or professions or trades are pyg-
mics, put beside men and women
who have lived in other eras.
There is nothing which we can
with any reason pride ourselves
upon having done or been to the
extent Of holding our heads above
our fellows. Whatever our achieve
ments, We need to feel humility
in the presence of THE GREAT
ALL~MIGHTY CREATOR OF THE
UNIVERSE.
We need to walk softly and
speak kindly and be patient and
helpful; and we need to talk much
of the good qualities of others and
little of our own.
This young man, quite possibly,
brought all his troubles on him
self by trying to impress upon his
associates how very much more
moral and refined and delicate he
is than they.
He needs to develop some TO-
bust qualities.
He needs to turn his thoughts
out toward his fellows, and not in
upon his own good self so con-
tinually.

YOUNG MAN who prides
l himself upon his good hab-
lis. and who tries 10 live

a YOUNG MAN who prides
n himself upon his good hab-
its, and who tries to live
up to the ideals implanted in his
mind by a good mother, is made
very unhappy by the malice Of his
enemies. He says:
The reason l write is, / suf-
fer-not from weapons, but from
tongues of my adversaries, who
seek only to draw me down to
degradation with lies which l can
not understand. Ny nature is
more like a womans; by that |
mean, more refined than a mans
nature usually is"
No lies Of our enemies can harm
us if we pass on in the path of
truth and pay no attention, further
than d calm denial Of misstate-
ments.
We are judged by our lives and
actions in the long run, not by
the gossip of our detraCtors.
The only human being l recol-
lect who attained maturity with
out being lied about and having
enemies was a blind idiot.
This young man quoted above
quite possibly is too self-centered.

Regards Himself as the
Superior of His Com
panions.

He is continually thinking how
refined and good he is, and how
much better he is than his asso-
ciates.
This state of mind naturally at
tracts criticism.
When any one assumes an
'I-am-holier-than-thou" attitude to-
ward his fellow men, he is certain
to be a target for lies.
People resent that attitude more
than any other.
Real goodness, real worth, real
morality, is always accompanied
by a sort of gentle humility; a
manner which invites confidence;
a department which carries with it
sympathy and understanding.
Unless you feel near to your
fellow men; unless you are con-
scious Of their kinship, no matter
how erring they may be; unless
your thought is one of pity rather
than condemnation for their fail
ure to live as good life as you
are living, then you are not really

much better than they, with all

Weather Conditions

Brmingh CHAM, June CSC p. m)-One Of
the hottest days of the recent hot spell
has just passed. Readings ran high in
the nineties over the Mississippi valley
and eastern gulf region from St. Paul
nearly to the gulf. The high midday tenn
peratures were broken over much of the
southern portion of this extensive re-
gion by refreshing thunder showers that
occurred over a considerable part of the
cotton belt. At most of the stations where
showers occurred amounts were very
light and many places like Mobile and
Atlanta received no rain whatever but
the increased cloudiness during the after
noon reduced the temperature consider
ably in the south. Farther north. how

of 80 degrees prevailed in southern and
western Minnesota and South Dakota. A
striking contrast is noted between the
readings at St Paul and Duluth, 80 and
so respectively. In St. Paul hot southerly
winds are blowing, while at Duluth a cold
northeasterly wind from high pressure

SHORTAGE IN BOOKS
OF MONTGOMERY
Discrepancy of $2SS3 in the
Treasurer's Accounts of
Technical Nature

Montgomery, June 2s.-(Special.)-In a
report submitted to Governor Neal to-
day on the books and accounts of Off
cials of Montgomery county, Judge w. F.
Wilkinson, examiner of public accounts,
calls attention to a discrepancy of s2SS3
in the accounts of w. B. Whiting, coun-
ty treasurer, accrung from the illegal
payment of money for telephone service,
for lawboolSs, for automobiles and for the
upkeep of automobiles. The payment of
this money was authorized by the board
OF revenue, according to the examiner
and while the discrepancy in Treasurer
Writings accounts is purely a technical
one, it has been held by the attorney
general to be Illegal.
According to he>examiner of public ac-
counts, the board of revenue passed all
OF these bills without any authority of
law. Judge Wilkinson quotes from an
opinion of the attorney general to the
effect that for every charge against the
county there must be some certain au-
thority; that where there is no law which
creates the liability, it cannot be enforced
against the county.
The examiner found a discrepancy of
$3.50 9S in the accounts of the B. c. Young,
clerk of the inferior court. This dis
crepancy was Immediately adjusted by
Mr. Young as soon as it was brought
to his attention.
For the year 1910 the total number of
acres assessed in Montgomery county
was 1904 the valuati of which was
S,36o,O O6S This made an average valua-
tion of SS.Sl and a fraction per acre. The
Naluatio nof the real and personal prop
erty for that year, according to the tax
assessors books, was $31 016, 775, and the
taxes for the year were apportioned as
follows: State, S77,5f.94 old soldiers
$3l0l6T; school, $93, ,040 So The examiner
showed that the total valuation of real
and personal property for the year 1911
was $31.96S, ,314
The examiner found the books and ac-
counts of the tax assessor, tax collector,
the clerk of the city court, the superin-
tendent of education and the treasurer of

WILSON APPROVES
DISSOLUTION PLAN
Plan to Dissolve Railroad
Combination Agreed to
by Government

Washington, June 2s.-President Wilson
tonight approved the plan negotiated by
Attorney General McReynolds and the
railroad attorneys for the dissolution of
man antitrust law, as directed by the
supreme court of the United States so as
to avoid a receivershrp for the great COM
bination. G. Carroll Todd, special assist
ant to the Attorney General, left tonight
for st. Paul to represent the govern
ment and to announce its approval of the
proposal when it is presented to the
United States court there Monday. He
was accompanied by H. w. Clarke of
counsel for the railroad, who will SUBJ
NIT the plan to the court.
VIII Qualify Approval
The government will qualify it's appro-
val of the plan, it is said, by asking the
court to grant a reasonable time withir
which the Attorney General may make
objections to the proposal il further study
develops it will not meet the require.
ments of the Sherman law in all aspects
This latest attempt of the many made
to d1Sfnen1Der the cOmDlnatlOn provides
for the disposition of the entire $126,-
$4,000 of Southern Pacific stock held by
the Union Pacific. While no official an
nouncement has been made, 1t is under
stood the plan as one step. provides for
the exchange of s3S, 292 400 of Southern Pa
cific stock for the Pennsylvania S holdings
in the Baltimore and Ohio, which are
approximately of the same value. The
remaining SSS,35760o of Southern Pacific
will be disfranchised and placed in the
hands of a trust company as trustees
and against this stock will be issued GER
tificates, with no voting power. to share
holders of the Union Pacific.
Sale of Certificates
The plan provides for the sale of these
certificates within definite time and theii
exchange for the stock under such con-
ditions, it is declared, that it will be inn
possible for stockholders of the Union
Pacific to acquire a substantial proper
ton of Southern Pacific stock.
This new plan is somewhat similar to
one of the proposals submitted to the
court a month ago, but it is said to
be more definite in form and surrounded
by greater safeguards to prevent the
Southern Pacific stock from going to
Union Pacific shareholders or remaining
under the control of the Union Pacific
railroad for an unlimited time.

BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

While general attention has been CEN
tered on the activity of gubernatorial
candidates, aspirants for legislative hon
ors have been quietly making hay while
the sun shone. Only one candidate for
the house has been announced, but others
have been feeling the ground in prepara-
tion for hostilities.
Hugh Morrow, Jeffersons senator
stated yesterday that he would not again
ask for the office. The fight for the seat
which he will vacate will be warm, how
ever, and from early prospects it appears
that the old question of prohibition will
be raised in the contest. 1t Is considered
probable that John w Altman. local
optionist, will offer, and that his oppo-
nent will be Charles e. Rice, one of the
leading prohibitionists. Mr., Altman man
aged the fight in favor of the adoption of
the anti-fee amendment, and as result,
as we'll as for other reasons, will prove a
strong candidate. Mr.. Rice has for sew
eral years been closely in touch with local
political affairs

The City Campaign Impeds


The campaign for the seat on the city
commission now held by c. Exum will
be pitched as soon as the street railway
to normal conditions. At the present
strike is concluded, and the city returns
time the indications are that there will
be several candidates. However the odds
are that the number of aspirants will be
decreased before the balloting occurs.
The chief interest at the present mo-
ment centers in the much mooted ques-
tion as to whether or not Mr.. Exum will
ask for another term The commissioner
himself has very little to say other than
he has not fully made up his mind 1t is
believed that Mr.. EXum would prefer not
to run. and that he will not enter the
race unless forced to do so by the antag
onism of certain factions in municipal
politics which have repeatedly threatened
to defeat him. Should he enter, however,
there is no question but that he would
prove most formidable candidate.

No Manager for Ward


In the estimation of the common
asses George B. Ward. former mayor,
is now considered the strongest candi-
date. Mr.. Ward will certainly run. and
he is confident of winning. He will not
name a campaign manager and will not
wage an aggressive campaign unless he
should be convinced that there is a chance
for his defeat. He stated yesterday that
he would issue a short platform setting
forth the objects for which he would
strive in case of his election, and certain
reforms which he holds would be benef-
cia for the city.
John r. Hornady, the originator of COM
mission form of government in Brmlng-
ham, will also be a candidate, and that
he will be strong is unquestionably true
He will probably receive able support
from those inherently in favor of COM
mission government, and the opposition
of those inherently opposed to commission
government. He should receive support
also from the "prohibitionists' element
of society.
