Three More Days of Legislature

The Alabama legislature will ad- journ next Thursday, and then the state will have a much needed rest from politics at the capitol. The lawmakers have just three legislative days left and no more.
 In the short time remaining for the consideration of pending meas ures many of them will go by de- fault, but it is hoped the bill author izing the appropriation of $6O,OOO from the Jefferson county treasury to the city of Birmingham will not be one of them. The bill provides that the county may transfer tile amount named to Birmingham this year and the same amount next year.
 Birmingham pays to the county in taxes something like $300,OOO year, for which it receives no direct ben eft. The city asks for $60,000 year for two years and the county author ities are favorably inclined to the proposition. No one is opposing the bill. All that is needed, therefore, to secure it's passage is for Birmingham to be right after the measure and see that it is not lost in the final shuffle.
 In Birmingham's straitened condi- tion $6O,O0O now would go long way in helping out. Let nothing hinder the passage of the bill.

A BIRMINGHAM LIVE WIRE

From the Oneonta Southern Democrat.
 Crawford Johnson, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Birmingham, is not only great believer in Birmingham, but is a great believer in Oneonta. Two or three years ago he came to Oneonta. and seeing the great possibilities of the town, invested 5000 or s4o0O here and at once built a street along by the side of his property at his own expense. Last year when a we'll was being sunk by 8 few of the citizens of the town he vol- untarily made liberal contribution and then had the water analysed at his own expense. When he noticed in the papers a few weeks ago that mammoth electric sign was to be placed at the crossing of First avenue and Second street by the Business club. he sent President Hagood . check for $10 to help pay for the sign. He also sent dues as a membership fee in the club. MT. Johnson is an enterpris- ing citizen and we are glad to have him interested in our town. We hope he can meet with the club in the near future and help us plan for greater things for One 0nta.

Er.dicatins the Cattle Tick

Asking farmers whether they desire to feed cattle or ticks the United States department of agriculture is about to embark on spectacular campaign throughout the tick infested region of the south to arouse farmers to take the steps that will stop the annual tribute of 900 now being paid to the tick" said L. Sevier. "Attractively colored and illustrated literature will be used in this work
 AS the result of the antitick cam paign one-third of the tick infested area of the south, a region as large as the German empire, has been cleared since 1906, but 1t is now desired to push the work much more rapidly than in the past as the country needs the meat the south could profitably supply if the tick were banished and the south needs the dollars that will rou in when the tick goes out.
 "The department stands ready to CO., operate with any county that wishes to engage in this work. Agents of the Southern railways agricultural depart ment will also aid farmers in warning on the tick wherever possible and will cooperate with all agencies engaging in this work

No Longer Talk of Hard Time.

Early in the summer after industrial plants that had been idle were resum- ing operation people still talked about hard times; it from the force was hab- it, but prosperity Is now so widespread that one hears little of the recent re- pression, said J. M. Stevenson of Phil adelphia.
 Tn July I happened to be in Balti- more on a Sunday and attended church service there. The minister in announc- ing plans for church extension work made several references to the business depression. was in Baltimore again q week ago and attended the same church The pastor seemed fuI of optimism. He made direct reference to the era of good times that was setting in. The same change has taken place in other cities.
 Even in the south that suffered se- verely when the bottom dropped out cf the cotton market a year ago, there is marked recovery. Ten-cent cotton should make business hum. And the best of it is the price of cotton, according to the good authorities will go to 12 cents be- fore Christmas.
 Hard times talk is certainly no long CT in order"

A Great State Fair

This years State Fair, to be held in Birmingham October 7-16 will be not only exceptionally attractive from every point of view, but the attend ance promises to be larger than in any previous year.
 Never before has the interest in crop diversification been as great as it is now. The exhibits will demon- strate the splendid success of the di- versification movement which origi- mated in Birmingham last January.
 In the northern part of the state farmers had been practicing crop di- versification for several years past; as a result of this business-like method of agriculture prosperity was in evil dence in that section during the pe- riod of general depression which pre- vailed year ago. The diversifica- tion campaign in central and southern Alabama was new but it had a defi- mite appeal and if the cotton belt does not feed itself this year it will come close to it.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the cotton crop is smaller than it has been in several years, the price is high enough to yield a good profit to the farmer, especially since he has pro- duced his cotton at much less cost than in normal times.
 Hence it is that agricultural Ala bama will be represented at the fair by farmers who have more to show for their labor than ever before, and the very fact that merchants in the towns and cities, as well as the tillers of the soil are in buoyant spirits over this years harvests should assure a record breaking attendance at the fair next month.

FILM ON PREPAREDNESS
} Kansas City Star.

1T iOiH thc hditSdS SiNy 0tdi.
 All New York is talking about The Battle Cry of Peace,' a moving picture spectacle designed as plea for pre- paredness, which was produced at the Vitagraph theatre few nights ago under the direction of the author, Commodore J. Stuart Blackton. The seats, inciden- tally, were g. and the production was as elaborate as "The Birth of a Nation"
 Presented in Il parts. the chief interest centered in that portion of the screen drama which pictures the invasion and National Guardsmen. 800 members of the Grand Army of the Republic, 5000 horses and 17 aerop'anes, besides Zeppelins sub marines. battleships. torpedo boats and armored motor cars were used in enact- ing the play.
 There is a plot, of course, which is woven around the fortunes of two fa4b, lies. The head of one is a man who "cries peace when there is no peace;" the chief figure of the other is young man, disciple of Hudson Maxim, whose book. "Defenseless America" is the model of the play. The young man is in lONe Wltil tud pedCe duNocdte Odu8Hter spy admitted to the peace advocates g home shoots down two soldiers and planes the hero and the heroines father for the crime. whereupon they are taken out and shot.
 The hero is only slightly wounded. however, and after all the others of the two families are killed of, he escapes with the heroine's mother and sisters in motor car. The heroine has slain the spy in the meantime. The enemy pur- sues, the hero is killed and the women commit suicide, fearing a worse fate at the hands of their captors.
 The entire plot is somewhat reminiscent of An Englishman's Home,' a play that created a sensation in England about three years ago, when it was pro- duced to show how unprepared England was for a foreign war.

Increasing Activity In Business

The financial and industrial re- view of the week just past points to increasing activity in the business world this week. One of the most encouraging features of the situation is the increase in railroad earnings. Transportation companies, especially in the south, had felt the recent de- pression keenly, but they are now be- ginning to share in the general inn provement.
 The steel plants continue to be oper- ated at full capacity. Several months ago when operations were reported 75 per cent of capacity the return of prosperity was assured, but 70 per cent conditions in the industrial field were in evidence sooner than expected. And high degree of ac- tivity will continue throughout the fall and winter months.
 Iron and steel prices are decidedly upward. All products of the American Steel and Wire company were ad- vanced $2 ton last week.
 This week will probably witness a new high record in many lines of pro- duction and the prediction made some months ago that October and Novem- Der would be the best pay roll months in the Birmingham district since 1906 will be fulfilled.

 Theodore H. Price in Commerce and Finance.
 Michael Jenkins, who died and was buried in Baltimore recently, had lived in that city and labored for the good of that community all his life.
 He was 72 years old. He was a gentle man in the very best sense of that word.
 His character gave distinction to his wealth. but his natural modesty and dis like of ostentation were great and he es- chewed and succeeded in avoiding all mo- toriety. He was. therefore, perhaps less well known than many who have not done so much for the world and humanity. MT. Jenkins was president of the Safe Deposit and Trust company of Baltimore and the Atlantic Coast Line company, and identified with many other transpor- tation enterprises that serve Baltimore and the south.
 He was one of the founders of the Cath ollie university of America and trus- tee of the Peabody institute and the Mary land institute of Baltimore, but it was not the beneficence of his official actvi- ties and recorded deeds that gave him the extra reputation and affection that he enjoyed in the community where he was best known.
 There are many men who make it business to help others. To MT. Jenkins it was a pleasure and of him 1t was em- phatically true that ''his pity gave ere charity began
 His known philanthropy was great but in so far as the expenditure of personal effort In behalf of others can be called philanthrophy his unknown benencence probably exceeded that which came to the knowledge of the public. conspic- not partisan. An ardent Catholic he was not a sectarian.
 He was constructive without being crit- ical and successful while scrupulously honest and scorning to overreach. Most of al. it was MT. Jenkins kindli- ness of soul and courtesy of manner that made him beloved. In the ease with which he made himself accessible to all who sought his advice and assistance he set ar example that many prominent men in this country would be much happier for following
 By gifts of money very rich man can generally purchase satisfaction and reputation that is cheap at the price, The doubtful pleasure thus obtained is however. as nothing to that which may be had from getting in personal touch with the world of human sympathy and need from which wealth excludes so many of its possessors.

From the Nashville renness..n

polar expedition had been successful, and that the long coveted goal had been reached.
 pr. Cook never said that Peary did not reach the pole. On the contrary, of Peary's narrative and description of conditions to his own as a proof of the correctness of the latter.
 pr. Cooks only claim was that hs had been the first to reach the pole, and 1t would not have detracted from the honor due Peary if it had been true, though it would have deprived Peary of the credit of discovery.
 The world subsequently, rang with the fame of the young Englishman Shackelton. who made explorations on the Antartic continent but failed to reach the south pole. His own country made him Sir Ernest Shackelton, and he had most successful featuring tour in the United States.
 Subsequently another Briton. Lieu tenant Scott, died in the endeavor to reach the south pole, and his name has been embalmed among the list of tho martyrs to the cause of science. And then the Swede. Raold An1undsen. reached the south pole, and all the world has done him honor. He had previously discovered the north mag netic pole. but failed to reach the north geographical pole. as Peary did.
 Pearys papers and records were ex- amined by every scientific society in America and Europe and uniformly pro- nounced genuine and correct. Besides that the character of the man, hir ''fae long habit and standing and all tf clr- cumstances connected with his v5gase gave support to the claim.
 He had made several previcu ts tempts to reach the pole, and if h. had been capable of fraud or dispos fo practice it he need not have waitfa until the last voyage to make the ef9sil. No one really accuses Peary of fraud. There is no basis for such an accusa tion in the face of the facts. But he is constantly sneered at and a governor of Georgia actually insulted him. All for the reason that the delusive and fantastic pr. Cook had turned out an arrant fraud. The chsrgrin felt by many because they had been hoaxed and vic- timized made them take out their spite on Peary.
 If there had never been any Doctor Cook, with his fatuous and transpar- ent claim, Americans would have made loud and enthusiastic acclaim of Peary. The eagle would have screamed. and great honor claimed for Yankee Doo- dle" and "The Star Spansled Banner That 1t was not so was peculiar ex- hibition of the workings of the human mind and heart psychical phenome- non

NEXT TO NOTHING

From the Cleveland Plain Daler.
 The calendar is irregular. It is arbi- trary. There Is no reason why January should have A days and June 30.
 There is no reason in logic or in utility why the added leap year day should go to the second month. And there are other features which are not based on pure reason.
 Accordingly the devoteee of regularity and uniformity from time to time evolve the new calendars which will look better than the one we have been brought up on. Such a one has just been propounded in New York. Every month begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. and Ia just fcur weeks in duration. And the odd days are Jumped together at the end of the year as holidays.
 There Ia no reason why such plan would not be a good one except that 1t Is not a good one Harmful traditions should be outgrown and sloughed off. but the calendar is not harmful. It is an old friend. and has served very well. We want July { and Christmas and Hal loween to stay just where they are. What would become of Halloween, anyway, if there was no October s1?
 Reform is good, if it aims at anything really desirable. But it is wasted effort if it is inspired merely by desire for change. In giving just value to human endeavor one might class the efforts to regulate the calendar as close next door lto nothing.

ness, due to the necessity for frequent scrubbing and the lack of air and light to dry the floors of old, soft wood; some of the stations are rat tle-trap structures, built for other purposes, and are nothing but fire traps. Vermin are plentiful and if ac- comodations for prisoners are bad, the police themselves fare but little better
 Chicago brides itself on being pro- gressive, but the condition of the city's police stations is, to say the least, highly discreditable. Miss Hen- richsen's report contains amazing revelations The lack of fresh air and natural light is bad enough, but open sewers running through cells is an unspeakably revolting and primitive method of sanitation. The sewer, be- ing nothing more than an open uVuSh, 10 dpb Io pecone CioSBou. When this happens every cell in that particular station will be flooded with sewage. Just before Miss Henrich- sen reached the Thirty-fifth street station woman inmate had tan trum and threw pillow into the sewer in her cell All the cells were quickly flooded with filth and the police authorities were busy getting the prisoners out This is said to be a frequent occurrence.
 The unfortunate who has to spend a night in one of Chicago's police sta tions will probably never forget the experience.

Outlook Bright

Henry Clews in his Saturday review says in part
 The financial situation, viewed on
 broad lines. continues to suggest a sub stahtial undertone. The weeks develop
 ments again encourage confidence that a satisfactory settlement will be reached
 of the renewed strain in our relations
 with Berlin that followed the note from
 the German foreign office seeking to jus
 tify the sinking of the steamship Arabic
 The note was disappointing, in view of
 the assurances previously given on be-
 half of his government by Count von
 Bernstorff, the German ambassador
 However, there seems real basis for the
 belief that the entire question of sub-
 marine warfare, as affecting the interest
 of Americans, is now in satisfactory
 way of adjustment. What Is of equal
 importance from the financial viewpoint is that this settlement promises to be permanent In character. thus removing what seems to be the prime source, if indeed not the sole source, from which future shocks to the friendly relations between Washington and Berlin might be expected.
 With such large supply of idle funds as at the moment exists throughout the country and as is likely to continue for a protracted period and with our own country the single exception among the great nations of the world that has not been drawn into the maelstrom of the war and has not had it's resources of la Dor and property paralyzed and. further more. with taxation, present and pros pective,C in comparison with other coun- tries on completely negligible scale. 1 there is active encouragement to look for the profitable operation of our rail- roads and of our great industrial com binations that are so thoroughly repre- sentative of our national activities. It still is desirable to exercise caution in the selection of investments. but therc are opportunities to obtain securities pay ing for instance between and 6 per cent on the investment that appear at tractive. Returns above such basis must necessarily be accompanied with q
 corresponding degree of risk."

Chicago Jails

Miss Annie Henrichsen, offical in- spector of institutions for the Illinois charities commission, recently made . tour of the forty-five police sta 'tions of Chicago and found condi- tion of affairs which, she asserts, would not be tolerated in the darkest ages.

HIRED GIRLS

From the Dallas Morning News.
 Wanted-A substitute for the word servant" that will not offend the sensi- bilities of white girls employed in do- nestle service. The president of the Oklahoma Federation of Labor has been appealed to by the wealthy women of the state to solve the problem of scarcity of domestic help, and has found that the principal objection of white girls to en- tering domestic service Is their abhor- renee of being called servants" There fore. this labor official Is searching for Ia name for these women and girls who do household work-a name that would be acceptable to the employed and the em- ployer, and would not. in the estimation of those who do the work, cast oppro- brium upon them.-waco News.
 In some parts of this wide country they are called hired girls. Tn other parts they are referred to as domestics. They have a right everywhere to object to be- ing classified as servants. for notwith- star ding servant is a good old English word, 1t has been permitted to take on a meazng which implies servitude-and
  willing to confess herself in. man sometimes swells with pride when he is called a public servant; many religious men avow themselves servants of God. and Ich die q serve) is the proud boast of many Prussian militarist All the same, no young woman likes to be called a servant. for the term presupposes social inferiority and to be labeled with social inferiority is enough to make even a saintly democrat mad. How would 1t do to call the household help by the generic name of beo? Beo is an Anglo-Saxon word and means bee" Inasmuch as ser- wants are busy as bees, why not call servant beo? There would be no humil- iatior attachable to that term, for beo, or. bee. is both an industrious and sensible creature, also refined in its in- stncts--as witness its uniform devotion to flowers. A word therefore, that signi- fes industry and refinement ought to be acceptable to all so-called hired girls" and as the bee Is we'll known to have wings, there would be no mistake about the beos right to fly away on short mo- tice.
