Prosperous Times Ahead

Prophets of business prosperity do not always see their predictions full filled; but among bankers and conserv- ative merchants and manufacturers there is a consensus of opinion that unprecedented business activity will prevail throughout the United tSates within the next twelve months.
 Large crops were produced last year, but this years crops are much larger. In fact, they are breaking all records both in bulk and in money value; and as intelligent observers have pointed out, bumper crops are al- ways irresistible.
 Commodity stocks are very low, and in view of the bountiful harvests, pur- chasing on large scale must soon be in evidence. August and September promise to be exceptionally busy months, and when October comes the probability is that the only complaint heard will be scarcity of labor. No man who can work and who is willing to work will be idle
 In the Birmingham district the wheels of industry are humming now, and it is reasonable to assume that in every part of this country the fall will witness industrial plants operat- ing at 100 per cent capacity.
 Prosperity reached the high water mark in 1907 just before the panic. For something like four years busi- ness had been going at a phenomenal clip. According to present indications, new records will be established in the business world before a great while that will make the prosperity of 1907 look small.
 No wonder the calamity howler has hid himself and the normal business man is buoyant.

The Use of Interruptions

We say we could get so much done, we could be so placid, we could remain so sweet, if it weren't for the tele- phone and the door bell and the call and the servant and the person and the circumstance that interrupt and cross the grain. Christ's attitude was different. To consider one aspect only, let us look at some of the gracious words drawn from Him by questions, interruptions and criticisms.
 One day He sat at meat in Mat thew's house when the Pharisees brought their ugly criticism: "He eateth with publicans and sinners. 1" What hot answer He might have given for the historian to forgive un- der the circumstances; but His an- swer still plies it's gentle ministry in he hearts of men, and shall, until the end. Hear it: "The Son of Man is

WHEN ALL THE WORLDS MAD
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The alienists in convention at Chicag go take gloomy view of the increase of mental disease. But if it is true, as one of the delegates said that .'the world is growing little more insane every day. why should the fact discourage the doc tors? Not only will it give alienists and eugenic legislators more to do. but it should eventually solve the problem of how to deal with the defective and the mentally incompetent. At the indicated rate of increase they will some day com prise the great majority of the-popula- tion; and what more simple than to use the asylums for the detention of the sur viving remnant of the sane?
 A mad world. my masters No doubt the moderation should be praised of an alienist willing to admit that not every body is already mad-that we are only progressing by daily stages to that con- dition.

Curious Requests

The mayor of Saxe-Weimar, httie gown in Germany, left will in which he beoueathed to the municipality the sum of $50, to be put at compound in- terest for 340 years. In May of the year 2254, when the 340 years will be at an end, the city is to receive TO per cent of the accumulation. The re- mainder is to be again compounded for 100 years, when the total is to re- vert to Saxe- -Weimar. It is estimated that the former mayors bequest in 2254 will amount to considerably over a million dollars, estimates varying from $1 ,25o,o0o to $15,Ooo,ooo.
 When Benjamin Franklin made his will, presumably in 1790, he left 2l0oe to the city of Philadelphia, which was to be used for making loans "to young married artificers under the age of 2o years" Franklin estimated that this fund at the end of 100 years would amount to G131 ,000. Of this amount s100,000 was to be used for making certain municipal improvements in waterways, the remainder to be loaned out as before. At the end of the second century he calculated that his beouest would amount to the enormous sum of more than-G4, ,000, ,000, which was to be divided between the city of Philadelphia and the state of Penn sylvania.
 Franklin, for all his native schrewd- ness, was unable to see that time would make such changes even in 100 years that his object would be defeated. There is even less reason to believe that the plan by which the former mayor or Saxe-Weimar hoped the city would benefit will work out as he intended. Unforeseen changes are sure to take place. Even in the history of the world $40 years IS a long time. There is no telling what may happen to Saxe-Weimar, or to the German empire, for that matter, ere the calendar shows that 2254 A. D. is at hand. There is such a thing as looking too far ahead, or rather, pre- suming too much on the futures inn mutability.

Congressman Mulkey, Democrat


 There seems ,to be an inclination on the part of certain politicians to per- petuate the campaign canard to the effect that w. o. Mulkey, now con- gressman from the Third Alabama dis trict, is a republican.
 The chief argument advanced in support of this contention is that Mr. Mulkey was republican a number of years ago, that fourteen years ago he was a candidate for presidential elector on the republican ticket, and that he opposed the adoption of the state constitution of 1901.
 These points are not we'll taken. They are entirely spacious. That MT. Mulkey declares himself to be democrat is all sufficient to rem der negative the fact that formerly he was republican. AS matter of fact, it often happens that republican converted to the doctrines of democ- racy is a better democrat than he whose party fealty was inherited from his father and his fathers father.
 The Age-Herald does not know whether MT. Mulkey opposed the adoption of the constitution of 1901 or not. If he did oppose that instru- ment, his opposition should not con- stitute grounds on which to attack his democracy. As matter of fact, a great many thousand democrats op- posed the constitution, and it is re- lated that in fact it was beaten, or rather victorious by means more or less questionable. And furthermore, the passage of time has proved the constitution unworthy of all the en- coniums with which in 1901 it was showered. Certainly it has outlived it's usefulness in comparatively few years, and the fact that practically every student of government in Ala bama admits the need for a new con- stitutional convention tends to prove that those who opposed the adoption of the present constitution were of longer sight in way than many who 
 now question Mulkey's democracy. MT. Mulkey is democrat. He says that he is, and were that statement not sufficient, his political life dur ing recent years would serve to give him clean bill of health.

Progressive DisintegratiOn

In recent state elections candidates Un the progressive ticket have failed to receive anything like adequate sup port, and there are distinct signs of party disintegration. The progressive party of North Dakota was unable to nominate a state ticket, being ruled out on account of lack of the requisite 25 per cent of votes cast at former election as required by the election laws of that state.
 And in Minnesota the bull moose party faces the same political status. Although the laws of that state re- quire that parties seeking a place on the official ballot to have cast only 10 per cent of the votes recorded in the previous primary contest, it seems that progressives will be disqualified here also. The number of votes neces- sary under the 10 per cent provision xb Oo1O. It IlOOoSNSiI party, llOWeNef, could only rally 2874 votes. But at the last gubernatorial election Colonel Roosevelt's supporters in Minnesota gave their leader total of 125,S56.
 In Pennsylvania Clifford Pinchot, the progressive senatorial candidate, is said to be rapidly losing ground. The progressive party retains the hope of winning in Louisiana, thus breaking the "solid south;" but this claim is extremely doubtful; so doubt ful, indeed, as to be regarded not at all seriously by democrats. As indi- cated by the enthusiasm aroused in some quarters by Roosevelt's Pitts burg speech, the colonel, as a national figure, still holds large measure of his personal popularity. No party,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-07-19

however, can hope to become a poten- tial factor in national affairs when it's claims for support are based entirely on the personality of one man.
 Many politicians attribute the rapid decline of so-called progressivism to the record of the democrats in enact ing constructive legislation. The Will son administration note of sincerity has been clear and strong, and it's record for definite achievement, it is thought, has a tendency to force allur- ing promises made in the progressive platform into the background of pub lie appreciation.

The Anti-Tubereulosis work

 We have many benevolent institutions here, and all of them, so far as l know are doing splendid work; but the one which appeals to me most is the Anti Tuberculosis association. My sympathies and the sympathies of virtually every man and woman go out to those afflicted with tuberculosis. and I am always glad to contribute to the association. But as important as the work of caring for tuber- culosis patients is. the prevention work Is of more far-reaching concern to Jeffer- son county. The association Is, I believe admirably organized, and I know that under the presidency of MT. Solon Jacobs it will greatly enlarge it's usefulness"

 A has just been in the height of as it were, the next morning.
 Charles l was perhaps the greatest ex- ample of this, but just as dramatic and interesting is the neteor=like rise and fall of Cromwell. Not the Cromwell who made the brief period of republican sway in England a brilliant success, but the Cromwell who went around England despoilng and wrecl1ng the churches to gain the favor of Henry VIII. The same Cbomwel who is told by Cardinal Wolsey, in Shakespeare's Henry VIII," briefly but decisively to Put away ambition
 Starting his career as the son of blacksmith, Thomas Cromwell rose quick ly until in one week he was first made Earl of Essex, and then great chamber lain of England But this same man, a short time later, was in a cell in the Tower writing to the King not with the bcld arrogance that had always been his but sending the craven message Mercy Mercy! Mercy,''
 Although he had been making great headway with the King, with each ad- ditional appointment, the nobles were more and more jealous. On June g, 1540, Parliament was still sitting discussing the religious question with view to the settlement of some uniform doctrine. The lords of the council left the chamber to go across to Whitehall to dinner before midday; and as they wended their way across the great courtyard to Westmin- ster, q high wind carried away Crom- wells flat cap from his head. It was then the custom when one gentleman was even accidentally uncovered for tliose who were with him also to doff their "bonnets. But, as an attendant ran and recovered Cromwells flying head gear on that occasion. the naughty min ister looked round and saw all his col leagues, once so humble. holding their own hats upon their heads. "A high wind indeed this must be- sneered Crom- well. ito blow my cap off and for you to need to hold yours on."
 When returning to rhe council chamber the Duke of Norfolk stopped him and told him that it was not meet the traitors should sit amongst loyal gentleman. T am no traitor!' shouted Cromwell, dashing his cap upon the ground; but the captain of the guard was at the door, and still protesting the wretched man was hurried to the water gate and rowed swiftly to the Tower.

come to seek and to save that which was lost. They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick"
 Another instanee-when a slow hearted disciple brought forth an an- swer which the ages have cherished, rather than one which we might have wished to forget. He was telling of His going, and said that they knew whither and the way. Thomas saith unto Him: Lord, we know not whith- CT Thou goest; how can we know the way?" He met the interruption and the lack of understanding with those deathless words: q am the way, the truth and the life."
 Likewise to Philip, on that same tense night, in answer to an equally trying question, He gave simple sentence, which has been text for a million sermons, light to million minds, solace to million hearts. "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" He said.
 One more illusration. The most notable words He ever spoke, per haps the best remembered, the most fondly cherished, He used in answer to an irritating, interrupting criticism. Again the Scribes and Pharisees are taunting Him with His companionship with publicans and sinners; and His answer is that gracious, melting thing. which stands well-nigh at the heart of the worlds life today--the parable of the prodigal son.
 When He might have lifted up His heel He opened His heart. When vul- ture might have done, He sent a bird of paradise. When events invited stones, He gave matchless jewels.

WELL KNOWN IMMIGRANTS rom the Omaha Bee.


 Children of foreign-born parents excel American children in sch pol work because American children are permitted too many outside pleasures,' says Mrs. Ella Flagg Young of Chicago. Yet we find some good people demanding severer restrictions upon immigration.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF THOMAS CROMWELL

the council chamber, tearing off the fallen minister's badge of the Garter as a last stroke of ignominy
 Cromwell knew ne was doomed, for by the iniquitous act that he himself had forged for the ruin of others, he might be attained and condemned legally with out his own presence or defense. Mercy Mercyl Mercy!' he wrote to the King in his agony; but for him there was as little mercy as he had shown to others His death was foregone conclusion, for Henry's fears had been aroused; but Cromwell had to be kept alive long enough for him to furnish such information as would provide a plausible pretext for re- pudiation of Queen Anne, who had mar ried the King through the schemes of Cromwell
 The King was already tired of his Queen and sorely wanted the marriage annuled, which, as the marriage was of his making, Cromwell opposed. Crom- well afterwards swore that he knew the marriage had never been consummated and never would be. When all this was sworn to- Cromwelrs hold upon the world was done. Upon evidence now unknown. h" was condemned for treason and heresy without being heard in his own defense, and on July 2S, 1540, he stood, a sorry fig ure, upon the scafford of the Tower. Cromwell confessed he had been a sinner and had travailed after thing of this world; but he fervently ayowed he was a good Catholic and no heretic, and had harbored no thoughts of evil towards his sovereign. But, all his protestations availed nothing; and his head, the clever est head in England, was pitiably hacked off by bungling headsman.
