An Admirable Selection

Sydney J. Bowie will, it is under stood, be elected president of the Bir- mingham Board of Education, in the place of John L. Parker, deceased. There could be no more admirable se- lection.
 For many years MT. Bowie has been most helpful friend of the public schools, and no one has championed so vigorously or so ably as he the cause of education in rural Alabama, with a view of raising the states standing in the matter of literacy.
 MT. Bowie is very busy lawyer but he is distinguished for his unselfish spirit and his civic leadership and he can be counted upon to take his place at the head of the Board of Education with characteristic zeal and single mindedness.

BUZZARD DROPS FROM SKY

From the Washington Post
 "It isn't often you see bird stricken with apopleXy or heart failure" re- marked B. C. Smith of St. Louis, at the Shoreham. "A little while ago in Mis- souri l was trying to instruct few young boys and girls in the principles of aeroplane flying, and was pointing to the birds in the air for illustration Half a dozen buzzards flew into sight, and I directed the attention of the young sters to the grace with which these birds sailed on the wind. with just an occa- sional flutter of the wings, and com pared their flight to the aeroplane.
 Tn the midst if my explanation one of the buzzards stopped suddenly and tumbled to the earth. It turned around in the air dozens of times, head over tail, and, of course, was dead when it struck the ground. I examined 1t and 1t was evil dent that the buzzard had been attacked by heart failure. l am reminded of this incident by the frequent reports from Eu- rope of aeroplanes being brought to earth by the shellss of the enemy Not even the fall of an aeroplane. I believe, could have impressed my youthful friends more frocibly than the fall of that bird out in Missouri"

produced in 1915 would need to be grown on only about half the usual acreage. This prospect would give good ground for the expectation of profitable prices for cotton in 1915.
 Tt is intensely realized that to plant only half as much cotton as usual in 1915 involves an entire disarrangement of the usual farming system, disturb ance of labor conditions and probably a decrease of revenue, as compared with that expected in normal years. But bet ter this decrease in revenue, this general inconvenience and occasional disappoint- ment in some of the crops substituted for cotton, than that well-nigh universal bankruptcy should involve farmers, mer- chants and others as result of two years of cotton prices far below the cost of production.
 What are the most advisable substi- tutes for cotton?
 "In seeking an answer to this question, we must keep in mind, first, the present products, including all grains and meats as a result of the European war, and. second, the necessity for farmers spend ing no money next year for any crops or products that they can grow at home."

RooseveIt's Dilemma

The free lance editors and the pert the expense of the leader of the bull moose party, which fared so i'll in Tues days elections. The New York Sun started with bit of humor and pleas- antry in its issue of the morning of November 3.-The day of the election That paper said editorially:
 Reports from oyster Bay agree in regarding the colonel as wholly dis satisfied with the conduct of the cam paign and frankly distressed over the condition of the country. In spite of his most valiant efforts he has not been able to get on the front page. fact which he attributes to palefaotors of great wealth, who have entered into a conspiracy to ignore him.
 "The colonel recognizes that the ma terial results of the canvass which ended yesterday are of minor impor- tance; in fact. almost negligible. He is not himself candidate for office But he is much disturbed over the effect his continued subordination to other news may have on the grave issues to be de- cided in 1916. That year he has set aside for the redemption of the nation, and if the present paucity of publicity continues he may be unable to carry out his plans. He admits that the pur- suit and exposure of the same old Bill is yielding scarcely any nutriment, and he questions seriously whether the na- tional conscience can be awak ened through such a medium.
 "The colonel Is undecided whether or not to go out and discover another river"

The COlonel's Party Gone

In 1912 the national progressive party, made up of republicans who had bolted the regular republican organ ization, caused mighty stir. Led by Theodore Roosevelt it made popular appeal and while it lacked more than 5000, ,000 votes of plurality over the democrats not few experienced poli- ticians thought that the organization was permanent and would in time en- tirely absorb the regular republican party
 During the presidential campaign Roosevelt's popularity never seemed more in evidence, and his progressives were full of enthusiasm and unflinch- ing devotion to their chief.
 But nothing is more uncertain than politics. The old republican party, which was all but dead, gave a very Mvely account of itself last Tuesday. at greatly reduced the democratic ma- dority in the House, while the pro- kressives made a ridiculously poor showing, both in state and congress sional elections. In California Gov. Hiram Johnson, who was Roosevelt progressive, was reelected, but that was an exception to the rule in

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 After a man has had bride and an au- tomobile for while he begins to take an interest in other models.
 Virtue may be its own reward, but 1t is seldom big enough to purchase expensive gowns and willow plumes.
 Ignorance may be bliss. But that doesn't keep a woman from hiring a pri- vate detective to trail her husband.
 The storq is a mean old cuss. He waits until you give the baby buggy away be- cause the first baby has learned to walk, and then he makes another call.
 One night of pleasure can take more starch out of man than on a whole week of hard work.
 The old-fashioned woman who poured coal oil on the fire in the kitchen stove now has a daughter who tries to crank an automobile with the clutch in.
 If woman can make the long places look short and the short places look long, she knows that she is perfectly corseted.
 When mother begins to tell how her dad used to have to keep her beaus away from the house with a shotgun, father often wishes that her dad had taken a shot at him and scared him for keeps.
 This would be a whole lot better world if the drug stores sold as much soap as they do talcum powder.

Promotion Without a "PulP'

Without wishing in any way to re- fleet on the ability and the just de- serts of Major General Wood, whose promotion to a high rank in the army and chief of staff for four years, was accomplished not without some ad- verse criticism, the slow climb of the late General Adna R. Chaffee from the rank of private to the rank of lieu tenant general and chief of staff from 1904-O6, shows what it is possible for a man to do by sheer hard work and without any other favoring influences than the opportunities that came in various wars. If there had been no civil war, General Chaffee might not have gotten his start in military ca- reer and without the chances of promotion afforded him by the Span- ish-American war, the Boxer uprising in China, and unsettled conditions in the Philippines, not to speak of rest less Indians, he might never have risen to be chief of staff of the army.
 However, General Chaffee had the making in him of a great soldier and, although it took him 43 years, many of them weary periods of waiting when there seemed little chance of promotion, he persevered and reached the top. At the end of the civil war he was only a first lieutenant. He did not become a captain until 1867 and then he waited 21 years before he became major. But he was not the sort of man to waste his time in idle regrets. Although he had received only a common school education, he applied himself with such diligence to his books, when not occupied by his military duties, that he became one of the best educated men in the army and even took a law course at Tufts college, which bestowed on him the degree of IL. D.
 Always a modest man, General Chaffee's career is typical of the best element in army life. His services to his country, both at home and abroad, were of lasting value. In Cuba, in China and in the Philippines he won his laurels and there was no one to question his fame. After his retire ment from the army he lived so in conspicuously as private citizen of Los Angeles that he had been almost forgotten by the general public when his death was announced a few days ago. His fame, however, will endure.

National Democratic Victory

While the democrats in some states states that had been counted on for democratic achievement-were defeat ed the result in the country at large was emphatically democratic. The question of uppermost concern was that regarding Congress. How is it with the House of Representatives In the present Congress-rthe Sixty third-the democrats have an abnor- nal preponderance. It was conceded by democratic leaders that the Sixty fourth Congress would have a much reduced majority. As to whether it would be 20 or 30 or 40 no one pre- tended to make positive forecast.
 From late returns last night it seems that the democratic majority in the House of Representative will be 25 or 26; that certainly is encour- aging when it is remembered that the party in power usually comes out at the little end of the horn halfway be- tween presidential elections.
 The legislative programme of this administration has been for the most part carried out. Few measures of any importance beyond appropriation bills are likely to come up in the Six ty-fourth Congress, but should Pres ident Wilson or the majority leader in the House think it wise to introduce constructive bill in the new Congress the House and Senate can be depended upon to pass it.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the republicans displayed much of their old time vitality in Tuesdays elections the democrats are still in the saddle, and they will probably remain in the saddle for some years to come; cer- tainly until after 1916. So mote it be!

From the Mobile Register.
 HHE American Steel and Iron insti-
 tute met in Birmingham the clos
 ~ Ing days of the week, and in at tendance were some 300 men who are the leaders in the metal industry of the coun- try. The leader and spokesman for the assembly. Judge E. H. Gary. president of the institute and chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, was most hopeful in his address opening the sessions of the institute. He called attention to fact, not yet generally known, that the volume of business and the prices for iron and steel were very low just before the out break of war in Europe. and, therefore, the conditions Of the trade during the recent past are not wholly due to the disturbance caused by the war. It Is evil dent that the trade was already in a period of comparative rest. Now. said Judge Gary, the outlook has changed for the better not alone for the metal trade but for business in general. We quote the encouraging words:
 Without particularizing, 1t would seem safe to predict that in many important respects business conditions in the United States for the next three months at least will be better than they have been for the last three months. As to the long future do not hesitate to say. with emphasis, that the opportunities for progress and success in this country are greater than ever before.
 Another notable phrase reads:
 It is wise for all of us who are here today to place our faith in the wonderful possibilities of this country.
 All persons will be pleased to observe this tone of optimism and good courage.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-05
JUDGE CARTS OPTIMISM

It appears also that back of Judge Gary's' confidence in American industry is his satisfaction that a better feeling with respect to corporations has come into being. We may say that it is a feeling born of knowledge that the men in the industries, the captain of industry, so called, have realizing sense of re- spect for the purpose of the country. Judge Gary said:
 One of the Fundamental principles of this institute is comprehended by the words "conciliation' and ''co-operation." This should never be abandoned or modi- fled. It should be extended to every branch of our activities. Nothing is to be gained and much is to be lost by an- tagonisms.. Communities succeed or fail together. Competitors in trade. producer and consumer, employer and employe the private individual and the public-all se- cure the best results if they work to- gether The success of one on legitimate lines means the benefit of all, and the failure of one means loss to all.
 The consumer. as We note, has become one of the factors to be considered It is great point gained in the contest for equal rights and equal privileges. We may indeed look forward hopefully when we are told that fairness to others is declared the motto of one of the largest trades in the United States, Judge Gary's words being:
 If we are sincere and fair in our treat ment of others we may hope for similar treatment by them. If we are diligent in trying to ascertain the good in others they may see some good in us. The mem- bers of this institute will do their full share in the general endeavor to add to the material and moral strength of the nation.

surprlsed and Not Surprised

'I was surprised at the defeat of Gerard for the United States Senate in succession to Elihu Root but not sur- prised at the defeat of Governor Glynn to succeed himself" said B. L. Chap man of Rochester, N. r., who spent a part of yesterday in Birmingham on his way to New Orleans.
 T am a democrat and was sorry I could not be at home to vote for Glynn and the other democratic candidates; i; but when I left Rochester two weeks ago Whitman's election was a foregone conclusion. Glynn has made splen- did record as governor for the unex- pired term, but people got into their heads that as he was Tammany's can didate it was their duty to oppose him with their ballots in order to check the encroachmerts of the Tammany or ganization. It used to be that Tammany operated only in New York city. Now 1t endeavors to control the state. Hence the vast vote rolled up against Gov ernor Glynn. As I have said, I am a democrat, but I am not a member of Tammany, and all this considered, do not believe that 1t Is good for the demo- cratic party

the days voting. It is now seen that the republican party and not the pro- gressive party will have to be reck- oned with in 1916.
 Colonel Roosevelt is too resourceful and strenuous man and too fond of politics to remain long in retirement. Being a brilliant literary man and a successful newspaper and magazine writer, he might be able to keep him self busy with his pen; but he will feel lonesome unless he can run for some office.
 Since the Civil war several ex-Pres- idents who were lawyers by profession resumed practice. Two or three were mentioned for United States senator ship, but there was no serious effort made in that direction. Colonel Roose- welt, however, being of a restless na- ture, when he finds that he can never again be President might run for mayor of New York. That has come to be a great office. Yet anyone who has been honored with the presidency might think it come down to admin ister the business of even as great a metropolis as New York.
 
 The European war will cause a general shake-up of thrones. Several republics will probably grow out of the war. It is barely possible that a European presidency or kingship will be offered the colonel and few things would tickle him more.
