LUKE NI'LUkE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 Nature is a mean cuss in some ways. A woman never gets any thinner worry ing over how fat she is.
 It always makes a girl feel better to realize that even if she is thin it is won derfully becoming to her.
 A whole lot of premeditated oneryness is blamed on the philosophy once ad- vanced by Old Man Plato.
 Before you get them they are al ways chewing gum. After you get them they are always chewing the rag.
 We are all more particular about a mans manners than we are about his morals
 Being farmer may have it's draw backs. But nobody is trying to get his job away from him.
 During the first year of married life she always sets his slippers out for him. But after the second year he hasn't any slippers to set out.
 Beer is good tonic unless you are trying to tone up the conversation.
 If your girl is acting fresh. it is verve. If some other girl is acting fresh, it is nerve.
 You may imagine that you are an ex- ception when you are visiting. But there never was a case in history where com pany didn't stay long enough A life insurance company is about the only thing a man wouldn't like to beat legtimately. A lot of money is being made by pre- tending to show others how to make it. When some women dress up in a lot of finery they remind you of 10-cent dog wearing si0o collar.

From the New Orleans Times Picayune. Some one recently has called atten-
 tion to the fact that the greatest war poems have been written about the
 smallest wars; wars great perhaps in their potential effect on times and peo- pies, but in which the battle line has
 been short and the soldiers involved few in number. We say few, taking as meas urement the standard of the present con
 fl1ct, in whose trife the engagements of whole wars of the past would scarce ly have equivalenced to outpost brushes. These troubles the poets have had in bringing within the frame limits of their poetical picture the vaster numbers and more complex considerations of the
 broader war field are we note, equally as great obstacles to the would-be war expert, whose tribe has developed rapid ly during recent weeks. Yet as the num- Der increases the fatuity of the attempt grows more plainly apparent and gener- ally the greater minds are withdrawing defeated and 1t is the lesser thinkers who persist These facts come promi- nently before an editor whose duty it is to pass upon the countless professional and amateur war deductions and exposi- tions that arrive with every mail.

"Dutch Love Dutch,

There are no people in the world more attached to each other than the Dutch, said Gustav Wallaeger president of the Concordia Fire Insurance company, of Milwaukee, who was yesterday the guest of B. II. Cooper, local representative of that company
 "Once upon time, while making a trip around the world, I landed in Egypt. At dinner one day in Cairo, I recognized from the florid countenance of my waiter fellow German. I instantly spoke to him in the language, and he smiled broadly. We at once became good friends and though he was my waiter, and l guest of the hotel, I considered him my equal That night he joined me and we went to a show. The following day he served me again at lunch. Our friend ship was but a type of that which is common among the Germans. At war or at peace, we are brothers, just the same.
 "In regard to the present business de- pression, I believe that the banks are in great measure responsible for the gen eral lack of money. They are hoarding their cash and advising the people not to hoard their own. In my home town the banks have plenty of money, but they are not permitting the people to use it. I presume the same conditions prevail everywhere "

THE LAWS DELAY
from the Chicago Tribune.

FTOul the CnlcdBO lrlDune.
 Two months ago a young man was ar- rested in New York on a minor charge. He was held to the grand jury and. hav- ing no friends to furnish bail for him. Was lodged in jail. He appealed for a speedy trial, which, he said, would es.ab- lish his innocence and return him to his wife and child, who were sorely missing their breadwinner. The reply he received was that most of the judges were on their vacation and his case would not come up until some time in the fall. few days ago the mans agony apparently got tine better of his reason and he hanged him self in his cell.
 There is no more potent argument fer speedier methods of dispensing justice in cur courts than this suicide. The condi-
 tion of American jails in the summer months is shameful. Many innocent men are kept there during the sweltering heat. to their physical and spiritual detriment,
 because there are not enough judges in the city to dispose of their cases. Judges are entitled to vacations. But a way should be found of giving them vacations without disorganizing our legal machin- cry
 The laws delay is sinister reflection on American justice. The sooner it is ended the better. not only for the poor man who is unfortunate enough to get We cannont afford to let the charge that our courts are indifferent to the fate of the pcor gain ground.

Virginia Plays the Game

Dr. J. W. stagg passed through Bir- ninsham yesterday en route to his Flor Ida home, after having spent two weeks vacation in Virginia. While he was visiting the Old Dominion, the pro- hihition campaign which was recently terminated in a prohibition victory. was at white heat.
 s'Virginia differs from Alabama in the style of it's game" said Dr. Stagg. Here In Alabama astute politicians have coupled their cars to the prohibition train and have attempted to Tide into office on a wave of hysteria. In Virginia the people submitted the prohibition ques- ton at such a time that no individual was candidate for office. It was fought out without a consideration of the per- sonal quantity. That plan should be adopted in all the states in which it is necessary tb play the game. Men of the Hobson type should forget themselves a moment and permit the issue to thrive or cwindle into nothing as a result of its own strength or lack of strength.
 The campaign was bitter. and many prohibition leaders towards It's conclu- sion publicly expressed regret that so many epithets had been applied to the opposition. However, Virginians dis cussed politics differed and grew angry, and when time for meals came, declared a truce and sat down together

The Progressive Democrat

Having heard so much said in regard to progressive" and ''conservativer dem ocrats, a Georgian wrote to Oscar Under wood and asked for a definition of the two terms-or at least. statement dif- ferentiating between the two. The follow ing reply which he received, he sent to The Age-Herald with the statement that it was remarkable document:
 T do not think there is any desire on the pert of the President of the United States to draw a political line between those who supported him be- fore the nomination and those who did not, but it is human nature for some of his pre-convention supporters to make the most of their position for their personal political advantage and as the President is popular in the country, of course, it is effective
 There are so many different people calling themselves progressive demo- crats who are going in different direc- tions that I am unable to define what the average man means when he says he is a progressive democrat So far as l am personally concerned, I have believed that the great principles of the democratic party were favorable to the masses of the people, and that the man who lives up to the funda- mental principles of the party is sound politically, and does not need a pre- fix to the name of democrat of any kind to explain his political position
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-10-07

their antagonists have been innocent of the charges against them in this respect, and that the serious ragged wounds supposed to have been caused by bullets which have been purposely tempered with, have more likely been due to the fact, which I believe is not generally known, that the new pointed bullet-itself a German invention now for the first time being employed in warfare in western Europe, inflicts at short ranges more grievous wounds than any form of soft nosed expanding bullets"
 According to MT. Selous, another celebrated hunter of big game, MT. Roosevelt, has found that the steel jacketed bullet causes a more serious wound at short distance than any kind of bullet that he had previously used in shooting big game. In using Ross rifle, which is the Canadian army rifle, and rifle with .275 bore, both loaded with cartridges carrying solid, nockle coated, sharp pointed bull lets, Mr. Selous states that up to distance of 300 yards the bullets turned sideways on striking an animal. After the initial velocity of sharp pointed bullet is impaired it has a ten dency to make a small round hole, but when the shooting is at fairly close quarters a ragged wound is made. He says he has found a sharp pointed bull let, its original shape retained, lying broadside under the skin of an animal through which it had made lacreated wound.
 All of this is quite interesting, no doubt, but doesn't explain the stories of dum-dum bullets being actually found in the cartridge boxes of dead soldiers. Such charges have been freely made, supported by ''irrefutable proof"

DREAMY AUTUMN DAYS
From the Pittsburg Gazette Times.

From the PlttSbur8 Gazette Times.
 Nature assumes an intimacy that she nowhere and at no season displays SO cordially as in the fall amid the quiet places of mountain and valley. Sounds become startlingiy distinct. and even the rustic of leaves and the echo Of bird calls seem to possess personal note to the in- vader. All the humid juices of the hot weather are squeezed out of the atmoa Dhere, and Conversation Is carried for long distances with marvellous clearness. The voices of the harvesting farmers come to you from far-away hiIltops as distinct as though borne to the ear over definite telephone wire. Only at niid-a fternoon in the warm sunshine is there any evidence of languor abroad. Then the muffled droning of belated insects adds monoA tone to the sounds thas come so clearly from afar. The restfulness and calm of the days bear a suggestion of hidden mys- ter5', as though some process of dissolu- ton had sienoed all the. noisy mingling of sEmmer voices. Nature Expresses yoa with an acute sense of the impending. The riot of sunshine and of winged life that little while ago made q holiday of reckless Confusion out-of-doors has dropped to a cadence of; seriousness, ln- timating that the earth is in some sort of mediation, pending the travail of ice and snow that will lateY blot out all ths fair lineaments of summer. Whether so inclined or not you are forced to accept this mood. and your intimacy with nature is enhanced

Democrats, to Arms!

There is no possibility of repub- lican or a progressive winning state office in Alabama. And yet Chairman w. D. Nesbitt and the other members of the state campaign committee are waging strenuous campaign-as strenuous, in fact, as if shadows, ob- scure and ominous of impending dis aster, were lowering nigh.
 The chairman and other members of the committee are acting wisely. The time is propitious for Alabama to surge to the front with solid demo- cratic vote in the fall, not only that democrats might fill all offices, state, county and congressional, but that a message might be sent to the Amer ican people, message expressing in ringing tone the appreciation of the people of this state of those good things in matters of government which democratic Congress and demo- cratic President have achieved. The European war, with it's dismal effect on the business situation of America, has given to the republicans a straw at which to grasp. They are taking advantage of their opportunity to attribute to democratic legislation all the evils which the titanic struggle across the sea has directly produced This political triekery on the part of the party under whose administration of public affairs, predatory wealth was fostered and developed, should and will be exposed. In this pro- gramme, Alabama should play its part nobly. Every man in this state should cast his vote in the general election. No individual is at stake; prin- ciple is.
 The Age-Herald would caution those counties which in the past have sometimes sent republicans to the leg islature to proceed slowly and with an eye open for their own estates. A re- publican in an Alabama legislature is a joke. He can do nothing either for himself or for his county. Every sec tion of Alabama should send men to the legislature capable either through their own individual assets or their political utilization to accomplish for the people of the sections which com missioned them.
 Therefore, it is apparently foolish for any county to send representa- tive to either branch of the legislature who is not, first of all, a democrat. For in Alabama, it is the democrat who gets results.

DANGER TO ART WORKS

From the New York Times.
 Apprehension that the work of devas- tstion in Belgium has only just begun may account for the removal thence to London of many priceless works of art, reported yesterday. If the retreating German armies intrench themselves in Belgium, which is not unlikely, the occu- patton of ttat country may become gem eral, and Ghent and Bruges may yet suf- fer as Louvain and Aerschot have suf- fered The art treasures of Brussels, so far as our information goes, have as yet been undstuibed, and these include one of the best esteemed collections of the primi- lives in the world. But bombardment of Antwerp would endanger large number of invaluable art treasures It may be that some of the Antwerp pictures have already been carried across the North sea to a refuge in London or elsewhere in England, and it is possible that thei priceless possessions of Ghent and Bruges may be removed surreptitiously from the danger of destruction by German guns.
