ly repair bills can imagine how even the strongest cars and trucks suffer from the rough usage to which they are sujected in war.
 The Krupp factories are reported to be working night and day, employ ing thousands of men, to keep the German army supplied with artillery. It is presumed that the allies are equally active. Just where all the au- tomobiles are coming from is not known, although large orders are be- ing placed in this country. The supply of motor cars may be exhausted much sooner than the guns, but however rapid the deterioration in these two important factors, the resources of the belligerents for renewing their equipment are so great that there is little hope of the war being brought to an early close for lack of weapons and means of transportation.

County Tax Leagues

As has been pointed out with em- phasis a reform in the tax system o1 Alabama is sorely needed No leglsla- tion that the newly elected lawmakers will be called upon to consider will be of greater importance than this relat- ing to taxation.
 Every taxpayer who has given the matter any thought knows that our tax laws are uneven and in many cases grievously unjust. Just how best to work out new tax measure In de- tail is something that calls for trained mind and statesmanship of the practical sort, but in order to arouse a statewide interest in tax reform tax leagues have been organized Tn many counties and the leaders in the work are endeavoring to induce tax payers in every county to organize.
 Jefferson county has the banner league. This would be expected, ol course, because it is the largest coun ty and the county that pays the great est volume of taxes-now about one fifth of the taxes of the state. Btu the league will not be quite what il should be until every taxpayer be comes a member. The fee is only nom inal.
 The object of the league is educa tive in a general way. No definite leg islative measure has been proposed but when the time comes a competen committee will be selected to draft ; bill. In the meantime let every mem Der of the tax league endeavor to in duce his taxpaying Ineighbor to be come a member. This is matter il which numbers count for much.

The Visiting Railroad Officials

Birmingham had a cordial welcome for the large party of railroad officials which spent yesterday in this district. President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern railway came on an inspec- ton tour and he brought with him a number of presidents and other off cials of roads not entering Birming- ham but having important traffic re- lations with this city. Also a cordial welcome for the Southern Textile as- sociation, which comes for its annual meeting.
 Birmingham has not had this year conventions or meetings of great numerical proportions. The American Iron and Steel institute, which brought about $50 visitors to the city, was the largest body, but Birmingham is being made the meeting place this year of more important bodies than usual.
 The railroad officials represent vast capital and among the members of the Textile association are those distin- guished for their leadership in the south's vast cotton industry. Several important meetings will be held here in December. The latchstring is out for all visitors whether they come in organized form or as individuals.

Builders of Birminchnn.

The Traders National bank in it's bic- graphic series entitled 'Builders of Br- mingham,' has this in connection with its November calendar:

Tn 1895 he acquired control of building and loan association, and since then he has continuously been engaged Tn that field.

Dr. Cunningham at Medical Convention

Dr. R. M. Cunningham, Birming- hams hard working and efficient health officer, received an ovation in Richmond when he delivered an ad- dress before the Southern Medical association in session there this week His theme was Preventive Measures, the Most Important Part of Medical Science" The Dispatch pub lished his speech almost in full. Some of the good points the doctor made had been presented in one of his valuable health bulletins which was printed in The Age-Herald early in his administration of the health de- partment. In Richmond Dr. Cunning ham advocated strongly federal regu- lation of the public health. He de- clared that governmental direction and control was the only feasible method by which proper regulation for the country at large could be evolved and put into execution. He showed that public sentiment was necessary to pro- cure proper laws and that to arouse public sentiment there must be edu- cation. He favored making sanitary measures political issues. "So long, he said, "as the people are silent, SC long will the statesman, who is first politician, fail to take the initiative If there be a popular demand for sani. tary laws those running for office vii make it one of the reasons for theil election to office"
 Several of the prominent speaker. at the medical convention, including Dr. Cunningham, directed attention tt the negro problem in its relation tt health. The mortality among thu negroes was stressed as of great con cern to the white race, and it wal generally agreed that more attention should be given to the anti-tuberculo sis cause and to the eradication ant prevention of pellagra.
 Dr. Cunningham in closing his Rich, mond address said: Let us go fortl and conquer disease even though il
 bankrupt us." The Times Dispatch
 characterized Dr. Cunningham's per.
 oration as brilliant and said that hit
 address was greeted with prolonged
 applause.

people" brought to mind Earl Kitchen er's opinion expressed in a speech in the House Of Lords that the war would last three years or more.
 Those lockers on who said at the start that the conflict would be ended in few months only voiced their hopes. The war will last, at any rate, until several decisive battles have been fought. And it will not be surprising If Kitchener is about right in his estimate of the duration of the bloody conflict.
 r The large business interests of America are being adjusted to meet any contingency. Business operations will be carried on actively, despite the war, and this county will prosper no matter how long European nations continue to fight.

Lovers of peace found little con- solation in Premier Asquith's speech in the House of Commons at the open ing of Parliament in which he said that he doubted whether the war would last as long as some people originally predicted, "but that it would last long was certain" The degree of comfort derived from his remarks is only by comparison, of course, for ths reference to the prediction of "some

There are two distinct parties in Tur- key. The Young Turk" party was at first liberal, but after the overthrow of Abdul Hamid became reactionary The "Old Turk" party, on the other hand, has come to typify the liberal element in Turkey. Enver Pashs, Talaat, Djernal and Djavid are the strong men at present in Turkey, and it is said that the Sultan is afraid of them. Enver Pasha, minis ter of war, is ambitious to convert the Ottoman directory into a consulate He is called the man of the hour, affects the genius of Napoleon and dreams of being some day an Emperor. Although the hero of the Tripolitan war, his as- sassination of the good Nazrn Pasha,' a member of the Old Turk party and generalissimo of the Turkish army, has made him unpopular. Envcr Pasha, Talaat minister of the interior, Djemal, minister of marine, and Djavid, who manages Turkeys finances, are bitterly hated by members of the Old Turk party, and it is said that they are Tn constant danger of being assassinated.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 Reference at recent dinner was made to affectionate families, when Congressman John w. Abercrombie ot Alabama was reminded of a happy lit- tie incident along that line.
 Sometime ago a fond father attend ed the graduation of his pretty daugh- ter from fashionable seminary and at the close of the exercises the heat of the institution rushed up to paps with hands enthusiastically out stretched.
