Largely on our future legislatures for
their success and existence.
To vote for the amendment No. IS
or anything else is very easily done,
but we should consider the conse-
quences and the hereafter first before
we vote for the same. / think that
the amendment No. IS is a very ex-
ipensiye and dangerous proposition, as
lit gives our legislatures the power to
tissue an unlimited amount OF bonds
and the same injects into our organic
laws also principles which may bank
|rupt our great state Of Texas; there
fore, let us fight it and reject it. We
are also in favor of local self-govern-
ment, and we like for every city and
county in the state to have and to
hold forever the rights and privileges
to issue their own bonds If they need
any. F. A. SOMMERLATTE.
The last session of the legislature
made mess of nearly everything 1t
undertook to do, especially Of the con-
stitutional amendments OF these the
most important was resolution 4,
which provides for issuing bonds for
building warehouses, public roads, etc,
by majority vote, but It was drafted
in such a bunglesome form that the
attorney general ruled that ( it is a
nullity because Of its failure to specify
the date on which the election is to
be held Then there is resolution IS,
which is tumble of propositions hav-
ng no logical relation to each other,
some OF which are of such doubtful

state disagree as to their significance.

garian policy in some independent Bel
grade paper, the export of Servian pigs
We're stopped, and Servian trade having
no other outlet except through Austria
Hungary, experienced all sorts of vexa-
tion.
In 1904 tariff union was contemplated
between Servia and Bulgaria. but Aus
Hungary protested. threatening the
denunciation of the commercial treaty
with Servia. if the tariff union was
concluded. Servia was frightened and
abandoned the union. but in spite of
this Austria-Hungary denounced the
commercial treaty, and declared a tarif
war upon Servia which lasted three
years.
On the eve of the annexation crisis a
commercial ''provsorium' was arranged.
but Austria Hungary felt dissatisfied
and expressed "a desire TO put the CON-
mercial relations of Servia on broader
basis. Servia acquiesced, the provisori-
um was denounced, and a new CONNER
cial treaty discussed, and concluded be-
tween the twNs governments. But Count
Aehrentha1 was unable to obtain the rati-
fication of the Austrian and Hungarian
parliaments. and therefore a new treaty,
worse than the provlsorium, was con-
cluded to meet the views of the Austro-
Hungarian agrarians.
Now Austria Hungary again feels sat
isffed with the existing commercial and
political relations with Servia and her
renewed desire to change them for bet
ter ones fills all responsible quarters in
Servia with satisfaction. Austria-Hun-
gary's wish will be met halfway.

Doughnuts Saved Them

From the Kansas City Journal.
How the humble doughnut saved human
life was related by Mrs. d. A. Afford, q
pioneer resident of Lawrence, Kan, dur
ing a recent visit here.
MY grandfather. Joseph Savage, had a
claim right at the edge of Lawrence" she
said. During the border disturbances a
band OF Missourians came to Lawrence
and, after looking at our claim. decided
to jump it. All of them were armed and
so was my father.
You'll have to go elsewhere or take
this place over my dead body said my
father, and was about to close the parley
with the AIissourians.
Just then my mother appeared on the
scene with plate of doughnuts for which
the Savage household was famous. She
offered them to the bloodthirsty Missou-
rians, and the latter forgot all thoughts
of claim jumping in the enjoyment of
their impromptu meal. Then they thanked
Mrs Savage and went elsewhere to find
land.
'1ad 1t not been for those doughnuts
some one would have been killed.

MANY ORDERS FOR POST CARD
DAY RECEIVED AND FILLED BY
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Many orders were received at Chamber
of Commerce headquarters yesterday from
persons in all walks of life for the post
cards which are to be mailed out from
Birmingham by every citizen who will do
so on post card day, which is next
Wednesday, March 10.
Not only orders were received, but many
people called personally and secured guam
titles of the post cards from half dozen
up to several dozens. The chamber fur
nishes the card free; all That is necessary
for the person mailing them is to ad-
dress them and place l cent stamp on
each.
T., A. Weller, chairman of the post card
committee of the chamber, which is in
charge of the event, has made arrange
ments for several downtown stores to dis
pense the cards on post card day. 1t is
expected by those In charge that many
of the cards will be disposed of in this
way and mailed out of the city by per-
sons desiring only one or two of them.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-16

Some of the larger firms and corpora
tions of the city have already slgniheo
their intention of mailing out enormous
quantities of the cards. seventy-fve thou
sand of them have been printed Tor 1ref
distribution. The cards are intended 10
advertise Birmingham. They contain on
one side several very artistic views OF the
city and district printed in six different
eoors, and on the other side are figures
showing the commercial and industrial
status of the city.
Beside the thousands of cards which
will be mailed by the different citizens
Of the city,, who will help boost Bir-
mingham, the chamber itself will send
out many of them. These will be adj
dressed to all of the more important
newspapers of the country, to public Ii
braries and railroad agents in the larger
cities.
1t is expected that special arrangements
will have to be made at the local post
office to handle the cards next Wednes-
day.

Three Million Tons Railroad Steel

FTOm the NEW 1OTh TTtsS.
Recent published statistics show what a
vast amount of steel is demanded by the
railroad systems of the country for track
and rolling stock. Thus a single system,
the New Yoork Central, has sent out in
duiries for between 10000 and 1900 steel
freight cars The United States Steel
ccrporation is asking for 5000 cars, the
Hartman lines for 5000, and the total in
ouiry is for about 10000 cars There is
a corresponding demand for steel rails.
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad alone calling
for nearly 200 600 tons for delivery in 1915.
and it is believed that the demand in the
United States, coupled with expected
large orders from abroad, will bring the
orders for rails for 1918 up to the enor-
nous total of 100000 tons.

The Mosques of Adrianople

From the Manchester Guardian
The 30 mosques of Adrianople represent
a fairly liberal allowance of places of
public worship for a Mahometan popu-
lation, as it was before the war, of some-
thing over 10000. The number suggests
comparison with the churches of a
mediaeval European city-as, for example,.
Norwich. wherein there still stand almost
exactly as many old churches as there
are MOSQUES in Adrianople. Even this
total, however, is trivial when compared
with that of London in the middle ages.
The monk Fitz-Stephen, who at the end
of the twentieth century wrote the first
detailed description Of London that has
survived states that there were in the
city in his day-then as now square
mile in area-126 parish churches, together
with thirteen large conventual institu-
tions.
