From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 Spencer Wishart, a young man of 24 was killed in the Elgin national road race on Saturday, when his car, running at 1lO miles an hour, whirled off the track, de- tree and a fence, which was splintered by the impact. Known as a dare devil among drivers, inheritor of the speed kings" mantle from the shoulders of Barney Oldfield Wishart was a favorite with patrons of automobile races, and in this meet large part of the throng alongside the track deliriously shouted for him to win. His bride of two months was one of the spectators helpless to rivals wheel threw his car from the road upon the frightful tangent.
 It is not only with aviators and mo torists in desperate competition that the temptation to exceed the speed limit is the fingerpost pointing straight to n trag- edy. In the social, the industrial, the political realm the name is legion of those who are riding to a fall, caring for nothing but to get there, reckless of all but the pace that kills In the headlong, headstrong fever to gain even the minutest fraction of an advantage, to these spectators gambling in the stock of human life it is futile to preach the cer- tain sequel of their insensate, suicidal folly. For a brief time, indeed, they seem to sweep all opposition before them like chaff before the wind. and thelr bril- liant audacity triumphs. They are beset by sycophants, iattered obsequiously, with one to thwart their wild and come- tary flight. Then comes the day of reck- oning with natures impugnable law. The physical organism revolts. There is no suspension of the rules for private benefit. The human machine runs off the track, the end is ghastly ruin, and the epitaph grimly reads. that the speed limit was exceeded.

lished many pamphlets on Latin
 America, and every one of the publi- cations should have a lively appeal to the enterprising American manufac- turer. There is pamphlet or bulletin for every South American republic, giving in most attractive style such information about climate, agricultu- ral resources, commercial activities and the customs of the people as busi- ness man in this country might desire. The Pan-American union with it's large staff of clerks is. prepared to send by mail complete literature to anyone inquiring for it and to furnish in detail to any interested citizen who may find it convenient to call at the director generals head quarters in Washington
 These be timely "Pan-A American years," and the Birmingham district should lose no time in joining in the procession.

THE "POOR POPE"

From the New York Sun.
 How completely unspoiled the village postman's son who sat on the throne of Peter remained throughout his pontificatc nothing tells better than his request for provision for the moderate needs of his sisters. Following ancient and respecta- ble precedent, he might properly have es- tablished them during his lifetime in a degree of comfort that would have been luxurious to women of any upbringing. This he declined to do. just as he re- trained from distributing honors among the members of his family, and now, at his death, the request he made of the church sustains the fine record of his life.
 Plus X described himself in his will as man born poor. Yet his wonderful experience from peasant boy daily tramp ing miles to and from school, through the various grades of the priesthood to the supreme position he reached, left him unspoiled in modesty. a stranger to av- arice, and in his relations to his sacred charge true custodian and faithful trustee.
 It is difficult to picture a life more inspiring than Pope Plus. Will not this splendid example of the cardinal virtues, so naturally displayed, influence men S minds long after the political and polem- ical questions that arose in his time have faded from all except historical mem- ory?

France Calls Her Greatest Sons

France strips for battle and the formation of a new cabinet yesterday is evidence that all superfluous ma terial is being thrown overheard.
 The republic has called her great est sons to her aid and the new cab inet is the strongest that has sat for years. Irrespective of party or creed the big men are responding; Delcasse, who has spent lifetime fighting the Teutons, is there; Briand is there; Ribot is there; Millerand is there; Viviani is retained, and if it is found there are any misfits in the army these will be speedily remedied.
 The cabinet change should not be regarded as an indication of weak ness on the part of the Gauls, but only of a greater determination to spend every drop of blood for the preservation of the republic.
 With the French and British rest ing on their Qualifications there was little heavy fighting along the Franco German frontier yesterday, the in vaders apparently recuperating before making the supreme attempt to crush the allies.
 England is greatly heartened by the reports of sweeping victories of the Russians in Galicia and Posen. "The allies are as the anvil to the Mus covite hammer" is the way one en- thusiastic correspondent puts it. It has been evident from the begin ming of hostilities that the allies must look to Russia in the final analysis and Russia's movements in the west fulfill the forecast made in last Sun days Age-Herald

It is announced that the European war will make no difference in the plans for the opening of the Panama Pacific expo sition at San Francisco. Although it was suggested that the exposition ought to be postponed for year, after careful consideration the committee in charge of the celebration decided to hold it at the appointed time. None of the nations now at war has notified the committee of its intention to withdrawn. Italy and France have announced that their plans remain unchanged. Nor is 1t feared by the man agement that there will be a falling off in the expected attendance. It is believed that the situation in Europe will stimu- late people of the western hemisphere to take even more interest in the exposition than they would have done otherwise.
 American manufacturers are already inn pressed. it is said, with the opportunity the expedition will give them of interest ing the distributors of Central and South America, Canada and the orient.

The Panama Expositior

A public spirited citizen who has taken great interest in everything pertaining to the Panama canal submits the follow ing timely paragraphs:
 'ahe Panama exposition at San Fran cisco is Alabama's show inore than any body's else-let's make it good one.
 Alabama will have, 10000 feet of movie films at San Francisco ana slides for ev- erything worth photographing, but we can't show them in the open on rainy days. Let's have a building.
 Forty foreign nations and 42 states will be in the show at San Francisco. Must Alabama stay outside with little Rhody, and the Mexican ~greaser?
 After the war if over, the capacity of Europe to absorb our supplies in every line will be in proportion to her increase of currency issued as war measures and the increase of her needs from deple- ton and destruction. Let's show the world what Alabama can do at San Fran cisco.
 Uncle Sam has big basket of coun- try products, on each arm. and is going to European market to sell while prices are good. Who said hard times? Jasper Eagle please copy
 By the time we replace all the uni forms, auto tires. tents and other war supplies destroyed in Europe, we will have to call on next years cotton crop.
 When the war ends, the best blood in Europe will he in America. Will Ala bama's sons and daughters meet them in the Alabama building at the exposi- ton and invite them home to stay?''

A Choice of Doctors

Tn a speech delivered at Epson col fege Lord Rosebery said he would rather a thousand times be treated by a third rate doctor with a pleasant countenance than by a man with re- pellent features. The result has been a lively controversy in the London press as to the merits and demerits of various sorts of doctors. One phy- sician says, "The old-fashioned type, who entered rubbing his hands, poked the patient in the ribs and started to tell him jokes would have hard time holding his practice these days.'
 Another writer who seems to un- derstand human nature pretty well says the kind of doctor the modern pa- tient likes best is one who listens gravely to the recital of symptoms and says, q know exactly what the trouble is.' That kind of doctor in- spires confidence, to be sure, but if his prescriptions fail to bring about the desired result the patient is apt to wonder just how much he really did know about the case. The main reason, this writer thinks, why grave doctor is liked is because he is good listener and sick people enjoy nothing more than describing their symptoms.
 Continuing. the writer says, Nearly everyone prefers the doctor with the churlisn manner, providing he has a good record of cures, to the sunny duffer who is as likely to kill you as not" Still, there is something to be said. on the other side. A great many people prefer the sunny duffer," if he has record of cures, to the kind of doctor who magnifies the danger of minor complaints and looks so serious over trifles that he almost scares them to death

made full lunge at the face of Hallam and thrust the stick in his left eye Pull ing the stick back he looked pale turned on his heel and, in an awful fury threw the stick with all his force up the chim- ney.
 When his passion calmed down, he ran over to the deceased. 70 Lord" cried Hallam, 1t is out" No" said the pris- oner, putting his hand to the injured eye, T feel the ball rool under my hand. The witness then told how the doctors and a surgeon had been sent for.
 dresser, Thomas Wigtaker told much the same story, saying that after the first quarrel he went upstairs to bring down some property. Just as he was coming down the steps he saw the accused make sudden lunge at ,Hallam, who clapped his hand to his eye crying out.
 The prisoner was then called to make his defense. He tried to show that Le had first asked ciyilly for the wig. saving. You have got the wig I played in last night and it fits the part" Then. accord ing to the version of the prisoner. he asked for itNas a favor, but again was denied, Hallam saying that he should not have it. The deceased then went to the prompters room and said that ne had been used like a pickpccket HaIlam be- ing prevailed upon to let Macklin have the wig in question. Instead ok1giving it to him. Hallam threw it in his face. When he asked the deceased why he had done that, he said, because yon used me like pickpocket.' Angrily waving a stick he then cried, Curse you for A puppy, get out" and as Hallam un!uckly turning the stick went into his eye.
 He further proved that he called the surgeon and paid him a guinea te look after Hallam, that being all that Ie had. Nevertheless Hallam died the next day. Turbut. the prompter, gave practically the same evidence, adding that one called the other a puppy. and the other retail lated by doing the same and then each called the-other rogue and pickpocket. and then Macklin pushed at Hallam with no real intent with the disastrus results.
 After summing up the case the jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaugh- ter. and it was so that he was sen- fenced.

AN UNDESIRABLE INDUSTRY

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 recent consular report from Iquitos, Peru, announces the beginning of a new industry in that vicinity. It is described as The gathering of egret feathers
 It is generally known in this country that the egret plumes, which were former ly valued as hat adornments, are grown by the female bird only in the nesting sea- son. In order to obtain the pumes, the mother bird is killed and her brood of nestlings starves to death. Human vanity was never served by a more cruel prac- tice.
 Public sentiment against adornment of this kind reached such a degree of unan- unity in the United States that a strict law was passed to prohibit not only the importation of aigrettes for mercantile purposes, but also the bringing in of the plumes under any pretext whatever
 The American market is thus closed. The industrious Peruvians, who have taken to the slaughterng business. must be inspired by hope of financial returns in South America or possibly in Europe Just at present the European field is not prom ising.

Larger Grain Crops

The time was when the northern part of Alabama was noted wheat growing section. As much wheat was produced to the acre in Alabama as was the case in Tennessee, and almost as much as in the best grain countries of Kentucky.
 Years ago when cotton brought fancy prices wheat dropped out of the list of the cotton belt products. There should be a revival of wheat growing throughout the south. There will be such a movement in Alabama during the next crop year.
 The ravages of the boil weevil this summer have been minimized, but it is we'll on general principles to plant less cotton and to cultivate other crops on large scale. A larger oats crop than usual was planted last spring and the yield was most abun- dant. Many farmers raised 100 bush els of oats to the acre. Corn acreage has gradually increased within the last five years, but it should be increased 25 to 50 per cent in 1915 as compared with 1914. Grain prices will be very high next year, no matter whether or not the war is over then.
 Good progress has been made in hay production. Stock raising has now come to be an important branch of Alabama husbandry, and if wheat is added Alabama will head the list of states in which diversified crops are successfully cultivated. The money value of the crops in 1913 was not far below 100000. The total value of this years crops cannot be esti- mated until cotton market is estab- lished But in normal year the value of this states crops can be brought up to $400, ,OOO,0eO
