PARK COMMENTS 0N STEEL ORDER
 SENT ID CANADA
Says Illinois Central Busi- ness Was Offered to the Ensley Plant-Saving
 Very Small

Concerning the Illinois Centrals pur- chase of 5000 tons of rails from Can adian company, Vice President W. l.. Park, in an interview in the Wall Street Journal few days ago. had this to say;
 "It was plain business proposition. On account of the high price of steel snd light business on railroads we had figured on buying about 2s,ooo tons of rails. but by getting 1t at s27 ton we will buy more.
 We offered to give the contract to the United States Steel corporation's plant In Birmingham. but they declined the busi- ness. We would. of course. other things being equal have preferred to buy the rails here"
 When the attention of President George c. Crawford of the Tennessee company was called to the above statement, he declined to make any comment. It Is un- dorstood, however that the Illinois Cen tral's inquiry for rails was made of the Steel corporations Chicago office and not of the local office.
 In industrial circles it Is pointed oat that after the Illinois Central pays the freight for tho distribution of the rails to it's southern territory the net saving on the Canadian transaction will be com paratively small. perhaps not more than S350 600 or s40,0o0. Had .he order been placed with the Ensley mill, it would have meant that sl.000000 would have come to the Birmingham district to be applied to the pay rolls of the Tennessee company. and would have found its way into circulation here.
 And it is further pointed out that a large part of the money, had It come hero for rails, would have gone back to the Illinois Central for freiehts
 As to the rail price Eere being higher than the price in Canada. that point is met by the fact that the Steel corporation is not earning dividends at the present time and that cut In price to meet for eign competition would necessitate a cut In wages. which the corporation has not seen fit to make

NO CIRCUsEs THIS YEAR

The heart of many a small boy as well as adults will be grieved to know that during the coming sea- son there will not be any circuses in this section. It has been an- nounced in amusement papers that on account of various state quaran- tines against the foot and mouth disease affecting stock that the cir cuses have about abandoned plans to travel this season. The circus season usually begins about March. but it Is stated that 50 far no steps have been taken by the circus own- CTS to begin their annual travels. It is stated that later on in the summer there may be arranged some evasion of the present restric- lions which will result in some states being travelled, but so far as a general season, all of the circuses have abandoned their plans, 1t is said.

The Real Opportunity.
the New York Evening World.

From the New York Evening World.
1t has been obvious from the first that
the war, by cutting off various foreign
products, would bring to bear the
strongest sort of protective stimulation
upon certain American industries.
Marked results along this line begin
to appear in the case of the aniiine
dye-makers Since the importation of
German dyes almost ceased, American
dive manufacturers have had immense
inducements to double their plants and
speed I'D their chemists. big Amerl-
can concern reports that it has 10 re-
iect every day orders for anywhere
from 10000 to $4,000 pounds of dyes
sipply because II cannot manufacture
them fast enough. Yet this plant is
turning out four times as much as it
ever did before.
It is predicted that inside of eighteen
months American manufacturers will
be ready to supply $10.000,o00 worth of
dyestuffs annually. The market in this
country could use $4,000, 900 worth.
can the American dyemakers hold the
home market against return OF the
foreign goods? This is the all-impor-
tant question. Experts assure us that
our natural resources of coal tar are
Of a sort to make successful competi-
ton with foreign dyestuffs perfectly
possible.
Quality is the test. 1t is up to our
chemists and producers to attain and

in the Senate is distinctly two sided.
The principle was adopted in 1906,
when there were only thirty four SEN
ators. They met and discussed the af-
1alrs of state in a very informal aud
friendly spirit. and there was certainly
little need to limit debate under these
circumstances. But now the Senate is an

faced by a multiplicity of measures
such as the senators of century ago
could scarcely conceive
The question is not whether freedom
of debate is still desirable, but whether
it may be secured by allowing unlimit-
ed talk. Majority OF the senators
still cling to the belief that unlimited
freedom of speech is one of their most
valuable prerogatives. More and more
OF them. however, are coming to favor
a limited cloture, and it is proba ol Q
that some such check upon senatorial
debate Will eventually be enacted into
the rules.

It Pays to Paint.

rrom ana Home.
1t pays to paint all permanent build
ings that are made of planed lumber
and properly finished. If tastily COL
ored with paint properly applied, IT
adds greatly TO the appearance of the
place. This is source of delight to
the owner and helps make the family
contented. building that is kept
well painted will last indefinitely A
good grade of paint well applied keeps
moisture from entering the wood, and
also from reaching the nails, the lack
of which allows buildings TO become
weatherworn, and its parts become
loose, weak, rotten and misshapen.
A well painted place is not only more
desirable to keep, but is more readily
sold, as buyers prefer a well kept place
and will pay more for such. 1t pays
to paint machinery because of the bet
ter appearance. and because it will
keep the bolts and other parts from
rusting or rotting, causing expensive
and making it difficult TO
repair. 1t is especially profitable to
keep wagons and buggies we'll painted.
for it keeps the wood from checking
and the wheels from shrinking Every
time a tire is set it puts more dish i'm
the wheel, which weakens il. For so
cents year a vehicle can be kept tight
and be made to last almost as long az
one will keep up the painting.

the Senate.
The flood of measures introduced into
the Congress of the United States is
like troop of soldiers charging
long series of trenches. The ones that
get to the last ditch not only must
have considerable merit but whole
lot of luck, and in the last trench
stands the big gun of filibuster. which
may blow them to pieces, in the hands
of "A single man.
This gantlet of discussion and
amendment through which every meas
ure must pass before it reaches the
Senate would seem to mitigate some
what the need for such unlimited dis
cussion in that body. Furthermore,
any man must be able TO say every
thing he knows about any measure IN
some given length of time. 1t may be
a long time, but even the wisdom or
senator cannot be SO proiouhd anu

no limit to what he can sa! on the
