Causes for Elation

Careful readers of The Age Herald cannot have failed to note the recent buoyant tone of its daily Wall street letters by Holland, one of the best in formed and most accurate financial writers in America.
 Holland is famous for writing what he sees and hears and in drawing de- ductions which reflect the sentiments of the nations great commercial and financial leaders.
 The spirit of these letters during the past few days should stiffen the back bone of every interest in the south.
 Yesterday Holland quoted William H. Newman, former president of the New York Central, to the effect that late fall or early winter would mark the beginning of an era of activity without precedent in our commercial and industrial history.
 George w. Perkins, who has long been intimately associated with the United States Steel corporation and the International Harvester company, says this country is on the eve of an industrial and commercial era such as the United States has never known. John Wanamaker holds similar view, while Clarence H. Mackey, just back from Europe, says the United States is soon to find her people busily em- ployed.
 In today's letter Holland expresses the view that the cotton situation is to be speedily relieved, which will put this country in stronger position than ever before as an exporter of agricul- tural products.
 That there is constantly growing reason for commercial elation is rec ognized by far-seeing business men. Instead of harboring misgivings every interest in the south should be alert to improve the opportunities about to be opened.

stokeIey on Cattle

Alabama is the finest state in the world in which to raise cattle''
 This was statement yesterday of J. T. Stokeley, who recently purchased 325 head from cattle growers of Sumter coun- ty. Mr. Stokeley has his herd in Marengo county
 There is every reason in the world why Alabama farmers should instead of grow Ing cotton to the practical exclusion of everything else grow cattle It is shame ful that Alabama, with all it's advantages, should draw the bulk of it's meat supply from Kansas City, St. Louis and Chi cago.
 But before Alabama can become cat tle-raising state there must be legislation requiring every individual to take sum- mary action against the cattle tick In other words, anti-tick legislation which is effective in certain sections of certain counties should be made effective through out Alabama
 And then there will be no excuse in the world in attenuation of Alabama con tinuing it's present custom of buying it's meats from foreign markets

Walker County An nteht

Walker county said A. S. Preston. a well known and popular citizen of Jas per, who was yesterday in Birmingham, has seen it's storms. For in April, as is remembered, we gave Captain tIobson a majority over Oscar w. Underwood of more than 1900. this despite the fact ,hat we went against the amendment by a majority of more than 700. And then in May We again reversed ourselves and gave Henderson a majority over Conner of 1400
 They were stormy days. But we have weathered the gale, ana are now reunited in spirit and, as far as l know, in soul. At any rate, we are preparing to enter tain the people of Alabama with a fair. It is to be the greatest fair in the history of west Alabama. At this fair every re- source of our county and section will be on exhibition and the exhibition will be well worth the price of admission Serious ly, however, we are to do ourselves proud with our fair, and Birmingham is ex- tended a hearty invitation to visit us and take in the sights

B Going to Waste


 The Age-Herald announced yesterday morning that Sydney J. Bowie had waged a successful campaign in the interest of s45oo,oo bond issue without the expendi- ~ture of penny
 It now develops that he has on hand the sum of s5 which some public-spirited citi- zen donated to the cause for which he stood sponsor. MT. Bowie is at loss to know what to do with the money.
 Three suggestions have been made:
 l. Donate it to the suffragettes.
 2 Buy hat for James Weatherly.
 B. Donate it to the Molesworth trophy fund.
 Each of the suggestions is good" said a public-spirited citizen who never takes a drink. But it should not go to the suffragettes without the consent of the man who gave the fund. James Weath- erly. 1t is reported. does-uot need a hat; could not. since his recent victory, wear a hat Therefore, let MT. Bowie give the sum to aid in the purchase of a trophy for Molesworth.''

British Are Surprised

The feature of the war news yes terday was the sinking of the three British cruisers by German subma- rines and torpedo boats.
 The German naval programme is being carried out with much greater success than the plans of the general staff of the army. Germany had no idea of coming to grips with Britain's armada while the English vessels were in such superior numbers. They made no secret of the plans to reduce the numerical strength of the British navy by daring torpedo attacks and they will avoid general battle at all costs until the odds become somewhat more even.
 Englishmen knew of these plans but the consummation of them was an unpleasant surprise. Anything which touches the fleet reaches the
 
 heart of every Englishman and the knowledge that naval sacrifices must be made is just coming home to the people with full force.
 In the theatre of operations on land the situation is not radically changed. The French troops are still endeavor- ing to outflank the German right. It will be several days before definite news of success or failure comes; and until then there will be comparative inactivity along the remainder of the lines. The crucial period, when the whole force of the allied army will be launched against the German en- trenchments, is still to come. In Galicia the Russians have won another important victory in the re- duction of the Austrian stronghold of Jaroslaw, which marks an appreciable advance on Przemsl, the present Rus sian objective.

THE TANGO SET

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 We are going to tell the people just what we think of the democratic party said Miss Alice Paul to a Washington correspondent following recent meet ing of the Congressional Union for launched against the national democratic party.
 We are not going to fight individuals Miss Paul continued but the demo- cratic party. We will show Majority Leader Underwood and MT. Henry of the rules committee that we can do some ef- fective work against the organization of the House.
 There will be nothing new in that. The society which this silly young woman halls from has been fighting the demo- cratic party from time mmemorial. The colored ladies of Dixie used to hear of it when it was preaching ''social equality" !" It's creed then was "a white woman is nearly as good as black woman if she behaves herself"
 Alas, why do not our pure, good and thoughtful women "sit up and take mo- tice." If they leave the future to the young animals of the tango-suffrage class, what is to become of the world !? Behold them as they pass There are just two kinds: those who have found

 to nominate Mir. Conner, are laughing

 The chairman had the right to name any man he desired to lead the fight against the republicans. He named " D. Nesbitt of Birmingham, an ex- eellent man. MT. Nesbitt is imbued with such lasting virtues that unless the unforeseen occurs, he will lead the democratic hosts to glorious vic tory While the writer is not entitled to take rank as a prognosticator of future political events, The Age-Her- aid ventures to predict that as re- suit of his energy and ingenuity, MT. Nesbitt will outwit and outvote the

Candidates in DealIOcks

When one remembers by what a land- slide James Weatherly was reelected to his seat on the city commission, and by what an overwhelming vote the bond is- sue carried, he can scarcely believe that on the same day these events occurred there Were in the immediate environ of Birmingham two drawn political battles.
 In Lipscomb there was a race for mayor. The candidates were Frank Huey and C. M. Ray Each boiled 22 votes.
 In Inglenook. also, there was a munich pal campaign. John R. T. Rives, as stated by The Age-Herald yesterday, was elected mayor. But for one of the alder manic positions no one was elected 'C l.. Mills and Edgar Keith ran neck and neck to the tape Each received 40 votes

Heroes In Battle

Countless deeds of heroism have all
 ready been performed on the bloody battlefields of Europe that will never be told by the fireside in after years. When the movements of mighty ar mics are yelled in mystery and the de- tails of the struggle that is taking place between the Germans and the allies are carefully withheld, it is small wonder that only few indi- vidual deeds of heroism have been re- counted in the press dispatches. This is to be regretted, too, for while some men become fiends incarnate in bat tie, others reach a sublimity of soul that even they themselves have never suspected and amid scenes of carnage deeds of valor are performed by friend

IDLE OPINIONS.

II some men could come back from the dead and read their epitaphs. they'd have to laugh.
 In the old days a young married couple thought they were beginning life aus piciously if they had bed, a table few chairs and a kitchen stove. Nowadays they are miserable without 1o-room bum galow furnished up to the minute. a motor car, garage and a years supply of gasoline.
 We always suspect the worst of the fel- low who climbs out of barber's chair after the barber has finished with him and borrows the barber's brush to brush his hair all over again.
 It takes people a long time to learn anything. The grand old safety pin is comparatively recent invention.
 An od-fashioned woman says it is bet- ter to spend three hours sewing than talking about ones neighbors. The trouble is that some women do their worst knocking while sewing.

County High School Demands

Tn the census of 1910 it was seen that the population within the ten mile limit of Birmingham was greater than the population enumerated In the environs of most other cities. The population within the city limits was 132,685. According to a bulletin is- sued by the census bureau after all the civil divisions had been tabulated the nopulation inside and ten miles out side of the city of Birmingham totaled 212,OOO-showing neighboring pop ulation of about s0,OO0. The rate of suburban growth continues in all di- rections.
 The efforts being made to raise money for the erection of county high school at Tarrant City near Boyles emphasizes the rapid growth of Boyles and the Boyles neighbor- hood. A few years ago there was no such place as Boyles, no such place as Inglenook, and no such place as Tar rant City. Those three communities on the edge of Birmingham have now an aggregate population of 1000 or 5000.
 Tarrant City has offered an ad- mirable site for the county high school, and the board of revenue has been petitioned to appropriate $50,0O0 for the erection of the structure. But in view of the assured future growth of Tarrant City and Boyles a $75,0O0 or a $100,000 building should be pro- vided. The architect should at any rate design building so that it could be added to without marring it's sym metry no matter whether $75, 1000 was in sight when ground was broken or not.
 In four or five years from now there will certainly be demand for a $100,000 county high school building. State Superintendent of Education William J. Feagin is taking deep interest in the Jefferson county high school question, and as a matter of course he insists upon large, modern sanitary schoolhouse.
 Jefferson county should have number of high schools, not less than half dozen. There should be high school in every thickly populated dis 'trict. The next legislature should provide for additional county high schools. In the meantime it is hoped that the corner stone of handsome building at Tarrant City will be laid early next year.

Elbing is ans east Prussian seaport town on the river Elbing, a small stream for-- ing into the Friesche Half It has poDu- lation of about 60.OOo and lies 49 miles in an easterly direction from Danzig. E,lbing was seized in 1898 and again in 1703 by tie eiector of Brandenburg as security for d debt. It was held for ransom by Charles XII of Sweden and was captured by the Russians in 1710. At the first partition or Poland in 1I72 Elbing was allotted 10 Prussia.

and foe alike that would ilIumine the

and foe alike that would illumine the
 pages of history.
 There are, however, few stories of
 heroism tifat have come to light in
 spite of the press censors and one of
 these describes charge recently made by a British infantry regiment when
 the sacrifice of life was appalling. When ordered to take a German posi-
 tion the regiment knelt in prayer.
 Then the men jumped to their feet, with fixed bayonets, and climbed out of the shekering trenches into the murderous fire of the Germans. AL tefnately advancing 15 yards and then lying down, these brave fellows dog gedly charged the German position in hail of bullets from machine guns. As they ran forward they hurrahed and sang, although they fell in heaps, and death cut short the song on many a soldiers lips. Those who survived finally reached the German batteries and captured the position after hand-to-hand struggle.
 This is only one instance. How many others there must be. no one | really knows. The Germans are show | ing the utmost valor, the Belgians | have won the admiration of the world | and the respect of their foes. The | British, the French and the Russians are fighting like crusaders. What a | shocking pity it is that so many brave lives are snuffed out and fields are drenched with blood simply because the innate sayagery of man has swept | away the thin veneer of twentieth | century civilization!

In Alabama Politics

Certain papers in Alabama have criticized Gen. Bibb Graves, chairman of the state democratic executive com- mittee, in that he appointed as chair man of the state democratic campaign committee a man who ardently sup ported B. B. Conner rather than an- other who ardently supported the nominee, Charles Henderson.
 The Tuscaloosa Times-G Gazette, the newly created editor of which also supported Mir. Conner, rushes with might and main, with oratory unex- celled and with wild gesticulation worthy of an amiable Frenchman, to defend the action of the chairman.
 The Age-Herald, in the general squabble, has remained silent in the hope that reason for the criticism and the defense might be evolved. It has become apparent, however, that the sole motive behind each is exceeding ly petty and therefore unworthy of the name of reason" The Henderson papers have seen proper to take a gratuitous slap at the chairman who supported Mir. Conner and who ap- pointed Mr. Corners friend to man. age Mr. Hendersons fight. The Conner papers, interpreting the action

Lesson for PrOhibitionists

Examination of public school children will begin in Birmingham today. Gull tures of all children showing symptoms of disease will be taken and turned over to the city authorities for further exami- nation. If any child is found diseased he will be sent home until cured School authorities, under the direction of the municipal government, take these precau- tions every year.
 The idea Is excellent" said a mem- Der of the Quebec colony. And it c,n- tains an excellent lesson for our prohibit ton friends In the child they should in culcate ideas of temperance and not try to reform the old with habits confirmed. And there is no doubt but that they would follow this system of education but for the fact that they cannot yield their hobby horse which is an unusually worthy animal in political campaigns"

 Sir Lionel Garden is not witness whom the average American would care to ac cept offhand without few grains of salt. But much that We know and all that we conjecture tend to rcorroborate his gloomy view of Mexican conditions. The country is in a state of anarchy. To get rid of the United States there is a Hull in the faction fighting and weak pretense of peace. But it is only on the surface and 1t will not last.

Rearing Girls

An interesting story has come. to light. J. c. Kilgore of Flat Top, an excellent citizen, has penchant for rearing girls not children, but girls.
 Mir Kllgore has applied to the well fare department of the city government for young girl or years of age who is in need of home and parents. When he gets this girl she will make the eighth which he has adopted He, has already reared seven 10 womanhood. and seen them all become the happy wives of good men.
 Girls are seven times easier to rear than boys says MT Kilgore. He has one little son of his own, about 3 years of age. There is no question but that he will get the other girl

Smelling Rats
From the Mobile Item.

r lT1t IteH1.
 Alabama has enough trouble on it's hands now to take care of it's cotton pro- duction without loss to the farmers, and to- maintain its business fabric intact without having to go through another such fight as the state experienced in the ists are organizing another fight in the halls of the legislature, and the tendency seems that way, the result will be the complete discrediting of their leaders in the politics of the state.
