Ideal Railroad President

William A. Winburn of Savannah, who was elected president of the Central of Georgia railway this week, will take his rank at once with the foremost railroad executives in the United States
 As vice-president for several years,
 in charge of both the operating and the traffic departments, MT. Winburn has displayed exceptional capacity. He has long been regarded as a traf- fife expert; but he has been just as much at home in the physical opera tion of the road. He is an all around business man and possesses those mate qualities of leadership that diff ferehtiate the average, capable rail road official who moves along in the even tenor of his way, from the man with force and initiative who gets to the very top.
 MT. Winburn started in the railroad business when youth. He performed his duties faithfully, and having am bition. he rose steadily until he be, came a recognized factor in railroad rate making and in operating eco nomics And while he was at the head of the traffic department, it Is safe to say that few southern roads had of ficials in that branch of work quite as able.
 When Charles H. Markham of Chi cago was ready to vacate the presi- dency of the Central of Georgia, MT Winburn was, of course, his logical successor The new president is per. sonally popular and has a host of friends in Alabama and Georgia who will be rejoiced at his promotion. The Central of Georgia is to be congrat- ulated indeed on having such a man as MT. Winburn for it's president

ON KEEPING ONES WORD

From the Omaha Bee.
 Reliability comes very near to being the cornerstone of character. At least, it is an indispensable element And re- liability is nothing more than the integ- rity of ones word. The man who is ''as good as his word'' is the one you can rely on; the man who is careless of ls word, regardless of all other consider ations, needs to be watched. And he is always at a little disadvantage as com pared with the other fellow.
 Men risk a good deal in juggling with truth. They risk their standing in life Cleverness in the shading of meanings in coining statements susceptible of a double construction, may be shrewd and cunning, but, paradoxically, it is also dull and stupid. Every mans word should be as good as his note, better because under certain unavoidable circumstances a man might be rendered unable to meet his note, but he can always keep his word in- violate.
 All of which,. though said before will bear repeating many. many times. One of the best times to repeat it is while the character is in the making, before the cor nerstone is laid or fully settled into it's place. The boy who goes into maturity deep in the conviction that his word is his chief asset in life goes with a tremen- dous advantage over the other fellow.

The Worlds Iron Resources

The eleventh International Geologi- cal congress, which has just completed its sessions at Stockholm, has passed upon report which is of intense in- terest to the iron world at large as we'll as to the Birmingham district.
 The report estimates the total actual resources of iron ore existing in de- posits that can, with present known methods, be worked at an economic profit at 22,40S,O 900 long tons, rep resenting 1O,192, 100000 tons of iron.
 Such an amount, it is asserted, will fail in less than two centuries to meet the requirements of the world, even if the output should not exceed the average annual working.
 The distribution of these resources , is interesting. The United States lead with 4,258, 100000 tons of ore, equiv alent to 2,3O5, ,OO0,O0O tons of iron. Germany and Luxembourg are ac- credited with 3,878 100000 tons of ore, or 1,360, ,000, ,000 tons of iron, while Great Britain is estimated to possess 1,3O0, ,0O0, ,00O tons of ore, equal to 455, ,000, ,000 tons of metal. France is put down at $500, 100000 tons, rep resenting iron to the extent of ,140,- OOO, ,O00 tons, and Spain at I'll 100000 tons of of ore with metal equivalent of 349, ,00O, 900 tons.
 To these figures are added the potential resources of the world not yet developed, and they are placed at 123, ,377, ,00O,00 tons of ore equal to

MIR. UNDERwOOD's VICTORY

From the RocheSter Herald.
 The defeat of Richmond Pearson Hobson by Oscar w. UnderYoor in the Alabama primary for United States sem ator is an event which gives profound satisfaction to normal minds in all parties. It is a welcome testimonial to efficiency of the direct primary in the choice of enlightened public servants. to be trusted alike in integrity and dis cretion. It is especially significant of the discriminating sense of the elec- torate of Alabama. in that this result was achieved by the sheer force of Congressman Underwood's reputation and services. unaided by any form of personal appeal. MT. Hobson spent months in campaign of loose and vio- lent attack upon his opponent, going into every county in the state, while MT. Underwood calmly and patiently attended to his momentous responsibil- tiles in Washington.

 Dazzle underneath the noon, And your drowsy poppy flowers
 In the breezes sway and swoon 7 I can see your olives culver
 With their opalescent sheen Like the ripples of a river
 Gliding grassy banks S3etween I can see your graceful daughters
 Poise their slim-necked drinking jars With their hair like twilight waters,
 And their eyes like Syrian stars can see your narrow byways
 Where the folk so sandal-shod- All your dim bazars and highways
 Every path that once He trod. And know that waking, sleeping.
 Until time has ceased to be, .. You will hold fast in your keeping
 His beloved memory! Little town of Nazareth
 On the hillside Galilean,
 Oh, your name is like paean Rising over dole and death!

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Large Crowd of Educators

The Alabama Educational association has grown to be a large body, and when 1t meets in Birmingham it brings 2OO0 or more out-of-town visitors, not including those who come from the immediate Bir- mingham district, said member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 T have never seen finer body of men and women than the educators who are holding their annual convention this week. When we get the big auditorium, Birmjng- ham will be in position to attract large national conventions, and I hope to see the day when we will have adequate hotel room to accommodate the National Educational association. That great body meets every summer. and the attendance runs high up into the thousands. But uptil we have the auditorium we must be content with conventions not exceeding 5000 delegates"

Occidentals Are Not Alive

Certain scientists have defined life as an ability to respond to the en- yironment and that whenever human or a tree ceases to so respond, it ceases to live.
 Environments may be either natural or artificial, but no matter which IS their character, to live one must re- spond to them. What is true of the natural also pertains to the social life and the deduction is that man deems living to be that to which he is ac- customed.
 In this aspect of the proposition it is extremely interesting to note the comments upon occidental existence as found in New York recently made by an Arab newly arrived in Ameri ca's great metropolis. The wires do not furnish the commenter's name but give his nationality as Moroccan, and make public a letter which he wrote Nome expressing his impressions of ways of the western people. In this letter the Arab refers to Gotham's s subway and declares that people in America travel like rats under the ground" Describing the elevated railways he says that the same Ameri- cans "travel like squirrels in the air" When he comes to the elevators he < tells his friends that ''the buildings are so high that people have to be put in square boxes and pulled to the top by heavy ropes" Then he con- tinues: "In the day the sun furnishes the light the same as in Morocco. At night the light is as strong as the day, but the people here do not seem to have much use for sleep, as the streets are just as crowded at night as in the day"
 Evidently to this oriental the camel, the sweep of the desert, the open air, life al fresco and plenty of sleep, con- stitute existence and the man of the west does not know how to live. It all depends upon ones environment and only as we are able to respond to that environment do we know life.
 This is the ipse dixit of the savant and the wise man and they should know.

Quiet Iron Market

The local iron market remains quiet, and it is the same in other iron districts. Matthew Addy X Co.'S Cincinnati report, just issued, says:
 Pig iron sales are of small volume. Of course. there is something doing right along. but the tonnage of new sales is insignificant It is notable that this period of quiet has net demoraized prices Iron masters are holding firmly to their quo- tations, knowing that prices are in no wise responsible for the inactive market They are perfectly we'll aware that even if they were to attempt to force sales by reducing prices $1 a ton they would fail. As a matter of fact, if they put up prices sl ton they would sell just as much iron as the only sales now are for ma- terial that is needed in hurry.
 Prices have nothing at all to do with the pig iron, market one way or another Were business at all fiourishing these present low prices which leave no mar gin of profit to the maker would un- doubtedly be attractive enough to result in heavy purchases. It is evident that the iron trade is waiting for something quite outside of itself; for one thing it is waiting to readjust itself to the free trade basis imposed by the new tariff; for another thing it is waiting for the railroads to be put in a position where they can again become customers. It is remarkable that the ironmasters have been able to get along as well as they have with the meager buying of the rail- roads remembering that in normal times the railroads are such great consumers

53,136, ,000 ,O00 tons in iron. It is ad- mitted that further large supplies of iron ore exist in China, Canada and other countries, concerning the ex- tent of which no definite information has as yet been available.
 It is estimated that the worlds out put of iron in 1912 reached 153,000,- 900 tons and that the annual increase is about per cent. SiX-sevenths of this was produced by the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain and Spain in the order named. From this quantity of ore 72,000,O00 tons of pig iron were produced.

MIR. UNDERwooD.s VICTORY

From the New York Times
 Far beyond the boundaries of the state of Alabama there will be sin cere rejoicing that Oscar w. Under wood has beaten Richmond Pearson Hobson i'll the popular senatorial pri- mary. A majority for Hobson would indeed have been afflicting. It would have been a humiliation to all men of sense and sound judgment to see the voters of one of the sovereign states of this mighty union express a prefer ence for such a very unsenatorial per son as Hobson over man of real weight and substance like Chairman Underwood.
 entity in the House, but he has been saved from that rating only because he is such an absurdity. His chief title to notice and ridicule has been his habit of discovering mares nests. Hob son has plunged us into countless wars, he has drenched his native land and other lands in blood more times prob- ably than he is years old, and has got himself laughed at for his pains
 MT. Underwood goes to the Senate by the good old-fashioned process of promotion for merit. In the House he has represented his state with great ability, and, what is more, with great industry, for the two qualities are not always found in the same man. His conspicuous service won for him the high and very responsible office of chairman of the ways and means com mittee, and to him fell the honor of having the chief part in preparing, pre- senting and supporting before the House and before the country the tar- if act that bears his name. They have had experience of the senatorial pri- mary in the, south, but the result of the Alabama primary affords ground for the hope that in other states where for the first time senators will this year be chosen by the peoples vote their choice may be guided by such sound sense and wisdom as the people of Alabama showed on Monday.

 ITpderwoOd's success fin AJaha,,

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Underwood's success fin Alabama has more than a state significance. It is not So much personal triumph as the tri- rmph of certain principles and certain tendencies. The contest was a struggle between sane and thoughtful progress sivencss and wild and reckless radical ism. It was impossible for Alabama to turn down Underwood for Hobson with cut voting for the reign of unreason and dcmagogy. If Underwood had had an opponent of a different type-an able well-balanced and progressive democrat his recent defection from the President might have turned the scales against him. But Hobson was one of Under- woods strongest arguments; and Ala bama and the country are to be con- graduated not only on what we get in Underwood but on what we escape in IIobson.

Thousands of patriotic citizens became excited over conditions in the so-called republic south Of us and clamored for intervention If Presder Wilson had allowed himself to be swept off his feet by the advocates of war, we would have been involved in a costly and intermnable conflict.

UNDERWOOD AND HoBseN
From the New York World.

IT OIfI tfft ANtW IVfh w UT IU.
 In any sober comparison of the qual- ifcations of Oscar w. Underwood and Richmond P. Hobson for the Alabama -senatorship, MT. Hobson must suffer severely. A gallant young officer of the navy, Mir Hobson since his adoption of a political career has been demagogic as a jingo and intolerant as a prohi- bitionist. MT. Underwood's public ser vice, on the other hand, has been char acterized by wisdom, conservatism, great gifts of leadership and except in one instance. the stanchest loyalty to progressive democracy.

ALABAMA.s NEW SENATOR

From the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
 gram.
 Since Alabama will insit upon having a democratic United States senator 1t is to be congratulated in selecting q man of the character and calibre of Oscar W, Underwood. He has defeated Captain Hobson by a most decisive majority.
 We are not among those who can be- lieve that the result turned upon the issues which Captain Hobson sought to raise in his canvass of the state: the liquor question:, corporate interests and Wall street, MT. Underwood, paying very little attention to the allegations concerning him. It seems to have been chiefly d matter of individuals, and there has never been any doubt of the result. MT. Underwood has made a national reputation for himself by his work as a democratic leader in. Congress. He has displayed qualities of statesmanship, and in naming him for the Senate Ala bama has chosen its most distinguished representative a.N ss,4s.
