WOMEN ON WRONG TRACK
From the New York World.

From the New York World
 The woman suffrage movement in this country has developed only one vagary. and that is the idea that the end sought should be gained by an amendment to the national constitution
 President Wilson's remarks to the women who addressed him yesterday on this point were surcharged with democ- racy, but of even more importance than that, they were inspired by true friendli- ress for the cause itself. Suffrage is state issue. We have ignored that fact only once in our history, with results that are everywhere recognized as deplorable
 To amend the constitution it is neces- sary to gain the assent of three-fourths of the states. Thirteen negatives will de- feat the project. There are at least 10 states in which the fatal color question is still paramount. There are not less than 10 other states, principally in the middle west and east, in which the nat ural conservatism of the people makes the issue at present hopeless.
 If the suffrag gists persevere in their To- cal campaigns, they may eventually con- trol three-fourths of the states, when na- tional success will be inevitable. Time and energy expended upon agitation in favor of constitutional amendment are therefore worse than wasted

oLD-TIME vIoLINIsT

From the Waltham Free Press-Tribune
 Warm weather brings the usual crop of street musicians the ordinary instru- mentation being two violins and harp, varied from time to time by German band or an accordion and clarinet duo, though of late years this form of musical entertainment seems to have taken to the watering places, mountains and other summer resorts, where there is possibly more inducements in a financial way.
 There are many who remember Cippi, the Italian violin player, and his orches- player besides himself. The piccolo player sometimes varied his performance by us- ing a flute when the character of the music demanded it.
 Cippi was a very clean and accurate player and produced some fairly good music. He usually made his appearance in front of the favorites, two or three times month and his rendering of the "Moclxing Bird'' with original variations always brought forth hat full of the coin of the realm from the pockets of fac- tory employees.
 Cippi held his violin and bow in the same position that a double bass player holds his instrument, except instead of the violin resting on the ground Cippi rested it on his stomach, and as he was excessively stout it made a good resting place. This style of playing always at- tracted as much attention as did Cippi's s music.

CRITICISM OF HOOD

From the Centreville Press
 Hon. Charles l.. Towne. examiner of public accounts, recently went through the books and accounts of Horace Hood. sheriff of Montgomery county. He found discrepancies amounting to some $40O.
 It is no uncommon thing for the exam 1ners to find discrepancies amounting to many times as much as was discovered in the case of Sheriff Hood. The examin- eis are generally very courteous and gentle with the official and say that the errors are technical and in other in stances that they are attributable to bad bookkeeping. But in the case of Sheriff Hood MT. Towne was very harsh in his criticism, showing himself to be an adept in the art of saying hard things. We do not see the necessity of Mir Towne be- ing so hard on Sheriff, Hood. He might have couched his criticism in milder lan- gusge, and the effect on the official and the public would have been different
 Is there q reason? Towne is an ap- pointee of Governor ONeal The gover- nor is not oi. speaking terms with Sheriff Hood and will not even allow the capitol reporter Of tho Journal to go into the executive office, not even into the outer chamber. Was MT. Towne currying favor with hls uaster when he wrote that harsh criticism on Horace Hood? He lays him. self liable to have his motives impugned, to say the least of 1t.

Birminghnm and Atlanta

Birmingham. through it's well or ganized Chamber of Commerce, is work ing hard to induce the Methodist educa- tional commission to locate the proposed university here, and l believe we will win the prize," said a well known citizen.
 When the time comes for the commits sion to decide it will have propositions from several southern cities, but as every che knows the co It sst will be between Bii miIeham and Atlanta. The latter city does not seem to be putting forth the same organized effort hat it usually does wfe en a prize is in sight. That enterprise
 ing city, however, may be making still hunt At any rate, it will no do for Birmingham to take anything for granted.
 From a commercial as, well as from a moral and educational point of view a great university here yould be of far reaching benefit. It would have a bearing on real estate values and the merchants would find thei~ trade largely increased. For if we get the university many Meth odist agencies will be established here, including a publication house and mis- sion boards"

Atlanta Politically Alert

Atlanta captured one of the federal reserve banks, not because that city was centrally located, but because of political wire pulling" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Atlanta is not centrally located in District No. 6. On the contrary, it is stuck off to one side. Birmingham was the logical place, but Senator Hoke smith had pre- empted a reserve bank for Atlanta before the banking and currency bill was even out of the com nittee stage Let that go, however. It is the financial strength of the en- tire district or region that Is supposed to benefit all the various interests in it. The reserve bank itself cuts little larger prize than if it had won the con- test for the location of the bank. It had not only a man big enough to be- come a member of the federal reserve board at Washington, but man who will prove to be exceptionally potent.
 Atlanta has recently secured another federal reserve prize. The United States department of commerce decided not long since to establish branch in the south. Birmingham, owing to it's vast industrial activity, to say nothing of its general commerce, would have been the logical place; but Atlanta was selected Without knowing the particulars I think it safe to say that Georgia politics did it.

FOOD IN SCOTLAND

From the London Chronicle.
 Now that the Scottish holiday season is just about to begin there is a controversy in the north as to the food psovided by the boarding house keepers and landla- dies of Scotland for their patrons from England. It seems that the Scots do not alter their menus to suit the southerners and that some of the southerners resent this They want more vegetables, for in- stance. and a greater variety of them They demand turnip tops Ca luxury rarely consumed north of the Tweed, save by sheep), and ask. Why no spinach? Also they want heavy supper, likewise beer
 The complaining controversialists say it is a case of ham and eggs for break fast. midday dinner and a high tea to conclude the meals of the day. As for beer, they report that Scottish landladies at the coast resorts look askance at peo- pie who wish beer sent in. So far the only reply of Scotland to the fault finders is that when they are in Scotland they should eat what the Scots eat and get their beer outside.

1t as they go along. and We hope they will. Such persons are given to evil ways and to all wickedness, and what IS more proper than that their habits should be forced under the regulative power or persons who in their own estimation can drink without being wicked and can be trusted with .um without danger to the public peace and order?
 It Is, therefore, in no surprise that we note how the new law leaves the door wide open for these superior beings who are the life and strength of the prohibi- ton cause They can send out of the state for all the rum they want, or can go personally out of the state and bring back all they want for present and fu- ture use overuse
 Thus is assured to West Virginia also that fine old aristocracy so exclusive in it's virtue and right to personal liberty in virtuous drinking. whose well-stocked eel lars and boundless hospitality are the glory of other prohibition states

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The only time some lads use their heaos Is when they try to butt in.
 You will hear all sorts of kicks in this world But you will never hear man c, mplain because the sermon was too short
 There are a whole lot of pretty girls who couldn't staud chemical an alysis.
 You can't tell much about men in crowd. Two pennies will jingle louoer than two 5000 bills.
 What has become of the old-fashioned man who took snuff and blew his nose OF a red bandanna?
 We have seen lot of valuable docu- ments in our time. But nothing else ever equalled in importa ace the papers the villain used to steal in the melodramas when we were boy. There may be other great tragedies in life But they are ls nothing compared with what happens when a small boy loses his dog. Some women go out to hear so many lectures cn good housekeeping that you can find two inches of dirt under every bed in the house. Any man who doesn't consider a gambling debt debt will stack the cards if he gets chance. Lots of lads who can stand around and solve the problems that beset the nation | have an awful time trying to frame up some way to meet the grocery bill | Even if a man got married on the Fourth of July he would always forget his wedding anniversary.

Beer and Cigarettes

According to reports made to the Tinted States internal revenue com missioner, the people of this country consumed less whisky during last year, but more beer. They also smoked a great many more cigarettes. The to- tal decline in the distilled liquor tax for the twelve months of the fiscal wear just closed is approximately s4.250 ,0O0, while receipts from tobacco taxes show an increase during the year of approximately $2,Soo,OOo, due almost entirely to a remarkable ln- crease in the cigarette trade.
 While beer is drowned upon by the militant prohibitionists and many people. without having investigated the relative potency of the two, con- sider beer quite as deleterlous as whisky, the increase in the number of cigarettes consumed will doubtless arouse certain reformers to redouble their efforts against the "coffir tack" More recently, with eugenics and votes for women occupying SC much of the public's time and atten. ton, the baleful influence of the cigar cite on youth has been almost for gotten. While a great noise was being made by "uplifters" in other fields oi activity, the insiduous cigarette was luging it's victims to destruction ir greatly increased numbers.
 To make matters worse, it is sait that women smokers in northern cities are largely responsible for tho growth of the cigarette trade. There are many retail dealers who have hundreds of women customers, as regular in their purchases as the mar who drops in at certain hours every day for his cigar. The women buy their cigarettes in large lots, how ever, so that it won't be necessary tc get new supply every day.
 The increased consumption of beer is probably due to the desire of men who drink not to befuddle theii brains. The "social side" of drinking can be enjoyed even more with beer than with whisky, while the harmful effects are much less pronounced There has been a very marked ten dency during recent years particular. ly among business men who drink al all to consume as little alcohol as pos. eible, consistent with what is known as "good fellowship"

WHY MEN "RUBBER"
rom the Prattville Progress.

From the Prattville Progress
 That's some dress you've got on, little girl--it sure Is. That delicate, clinRy, clinky stuff Is the prettiest cloth on the store counters; that silk sash of many colors so gracefully swathed about you would knock the spots off Joseph's coat. You are tailored according to the most extreme model in the advance fashion books. But your neck is too low and your sleeves are too short, and your skirt is far and away tighter than skirts were ever meant t. be- Oh, you're some swell, you,are. Have you noticed how the loaf CTS around town rubber at you as you trip demurey by, and have you been thinking little foolish one, that they were rub tering cut of pure admiration? Ask your brother about it. If he's got any sense he'll tell you some things that will be hard on your vanity, but good for you in the future.

this matter. The new banking and cur rency law recently enacted by Con- gress, however, extends to American bankers the privilege of establishing foreign branches; and the National City Bank of New York has already announced it's intention of placing branches in South America, while a number of other large banks have de- cided to establish foreign branches. These branches should have the hearty support and encouragement of the government, as in all probability great trade expansion would result from healthy promotion of our foreign banking.

MODEL PROHIBITION
the New York World.

From the New York World.
 We must pronounce the West Virginia law for the suppression of liquor traffic, which goes into effect July 1. the bright est and most consummate flower of the prohibition spirit which has so far blos- somed into statute form in any of the nine states now under this policy. Drug stores are absolutely barred from selling any intoxicants even on physicians prescription, and only on such pre- scription, and after personal examina- ton of the patient to prove that he is not addicted to it's use, can raw alcohol be sold. Persons associating with clubs where liquor Is sold or bartered or given away are liable to fines and fmprison- ment.
 These provisions should effectually dry up those who occasionally drink and buy

Low Colonist Rates Discontinued

Low Colonist Rates Discontinued
 While each census since the war has shown a gain in the south's popu- lation, the increase in the last two or three decades would have been greater but for the cheap one-way colonist rates to the west and northwest which southern railroads offered.
 Thousands of Alabamians have mi grated to the western states who would not have found homes in far away states but for the drumming up" of homeseekers attracted to the west by roseate advertisements. The way to build up Alabama is to in- duce homeseekers from the north or west to come and settle here. Such desirable settlers are coming in large numbers every year, but the net in- crease in population has been kept down by the departure of restless citi- zens who have never learned to let we'll enough alone.
 Northerners who are turning their attention to the south sometimes hesi- tate when they find that so many southerners are leaving their section for other sections; but despite this, northern settlers have been moving southward in larger numbers within the last three years than in any other similar period. Certain it is that Ala bama is better advertised than ever and the advantages offered to the in- dustrious farmer have more appeal now than in former years.
 President Harrison of the Southern railway announces that his company has permanently withdrawn from par ticipation in one-way colonist rates from points where they have been in effect to meet similar rates offered by competing lines. The Southern railway has just sent out circular letter in which the company's policy of discouraging low colonist rates from the south is set forth. The late w. w. Finley, who was president of the Southern for several years, was doing everything possible to attract people to states traversed by his lines,
 and MT. Harrison, his successor, is
 bending his energy to the upbuildine
 of the south.
 Mir. Harrison feels that this section
 offers the best opportunity of any
 other and that people living in the
 south cannot improve their conditions
 by moving. It is safe to say that
 fully 50 per cent of the people who
 have moved away from Alabama with
 in the last ten years would have done
 as well if not better had they re.
 mained citizens of this state. And 6
 large percentage, doubtless, of those who are trying to get start in theil
 new homes wish they were back il
 Alabama. It is hoped that other rail
 roads will follow the Southern's ex
 ample in withdrawing one-way colon
 ist rates.
