n HE following Is an ex-
v tract from dispatch sent

What Is 70 become Of the

question in the political situa-

VIII it stay at home?
Will it divide up? And in
what proportions?
What will be the conse-
quence?
Part Of the answer is as fol-
lows:
Eight Of ten Progressiyes
were formerly republicans, and
when their own party has col
lapsed. their drift will be back
to that party.
There are two Of ten and
maybe more-whO will be IT.
reconcilable. Their progress
sivism means so much to them
they never again can associate
themselves with the forces Of
reaction. They will become
democrats or socialists. or they
will not vote at all.
Will this insure Hughes eI-
ection?
Not necessarily.
Remember how the votes
fell four years ago. Wilson,
100000; Roosevelt, 4,000.-
900; Taft. 100000. These
were round numbers.
The total Of Taft and Roos-
evelt vote would be 100000.
Just 100000 more than en-
Ough to defeat Wilson.
How defeat Wilson?
What more simple.
Wipe out the progressive
party, and poll all the progress
siye and republican votes for
the opposition candidate.
Note the "all."
Suppose a fifth Of the pro-
gressiye vote is irreconcilable.
Suppose 100000 Of the A.
100000 progressives decline to
be delivered to the Barnes
Smoot-Penrose combination
even By Brother Perkins and
Colonel Roosevelt.
The action would be Will
sons election anyway.
| have no desire to plunge
thus early into prophecy. It
is not necessary. But it will in
terest those who are interested
in the country's welfare to see
that the bag has not been
sewed up and weighted with a
brick. The cat is still at lib
erty to jump.
If ! were placing small bet
at the present time, and were
placing it on the basis Of "po-
litical form" that small bet
would be laid on Wilson.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Quotation From SAKE
the Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Your article on John Godfrey Sake,
copied from the Christian Science Moni-
tor, and published in your Sunday issue.
will appeal to all of your older readers
who are familiar with the writings of
Sake.
John G. SAKE showed in his writings
subtle humor that was delightful. He
was original, as his flights into new fields
showed, and, as is said in your article,
''he caught the public taste and pleased
IT. with his quaint conceits.
1.-The Proud Miss Mcbride may have
given him his greatest celebrity, but to
my thinking, the best and prettiest, and
one of the most humorous of his con-
ceits was the following little poem. I call
it a poem advisedly, as, to me, it has
the ring of true poetry.
I quote from memory:
Last night, as good Saint Peter slept,
He left the gates of Heaven ajar.
When. through, a little angel crept
And came down with falling star.
Next morning, as the blessed beams
OF day approached, my darling bride
Awakened out Of pleasant dreams
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of pain.
ne II WiIls MS way 10 tHdt prlSut SnOre
And find the gates of Heaven again.
= SAINT PETERS REPLY.
For eighteen hundred years. and more.
I've kept my gates securely tied.
No little angel has escaped
Not one is missing from my side.
did not sleep, as you suppose,
And leave the gates Of Heaven ajar;
No little angel got away
And went down with a falling star.
Go ask your darling bride
And see if she won't frankly own and
say
That when she found that angel babe.
She found it in the good old way.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That should your family enlarge.
You will not go as heretofore
| And lay it to old Peters charge.
| Very respectfully.

NO CONFERENCE ON
REDUCING EXPENSES
Bivens Gives Reasons for
Opposing Purchase of
Road Machinery

| There was no conference yesterday
of revenue.
1t had been reported that the mem
/ bers of the board of revenue would
| meet in an informal conference yes
terday afternoon to discuss the matter
of making cuts in the various depart
ments of the county, but up to a late
hour yesterday afternoon no member
of the board had shown Up at the court
house and officials at the offices of
the board stated that no conference
was slated and that nothing had been
heard of any special meeting of the
board
1t developed yesterday morning that
the road machinery ordered purchased
by a majority of the board of revenue
on Tuesday was to cost in the neigh
borhood of $500. RUFF Bivens, who OPP
posed the purchase with President r.
f. Lovelady, stated his reasons yester-
day:
las we are forced to borrow money
at the present time to met current ex-
penses," said Mr.. Bivens, II harly think
it appropriate that we should order
purchases unless it is proved that they
are absolutely necessary. Undoubtedly
the road machinery, ordered to be pur-
chased is a good thing and will prob
ably effect saving, but as we could
have got along without it at the pres
emit time. I opposed signing the con-
tract. OF course it was only little mat
ter of $500, but then if the county Is
broke that sum Is liable to prove en-
barraSsing."

ORGANIZE CAMPAIGN
FOR TAX AMENDMENT
Will Work to Geet Big Vote for Local
School Taxation

At a special meeting held in the au-
ditorium of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon a large delegation
of prominent Birmingham business and
professional men went on record as
indorsing the proposed local school tax
amendment to the state constitution
and decided to begin an active cam
paign at once to carry the measure in
jefferson county.
The principal address of the meeting
was made by Sydney J. Bowie Mr..
Bowie stressed the Importance OF
adopting the amendment, pointing out
the advantage it would be to the
schools of the state. Several others
made short talks and the same spirit
of enthusiasm over the amendment. was
expressed by each speaker.
1t was agreed that those present at
the meeting, together with all others
interested in the matter, wage an act
i've campaign from now until the cleo
ton in November in behalf of this
amendment. 1t is quite probable, ac-
cordlng to Mr.. Bowie, that commit
Tee of 500 will be organized to can
vass the county for the purpose Of
polling a solid vote for the measure.
There are several amendments to be
voted on in the November election, but
none is considered more important that
this special school tax amendment.
The amendment has been Endorsed by
practically every convention and civic
organization in Birmingham.

Danish Parliament May
Delay Ratification of
Treaty Until Elections

Copenhagen, August 16.-(Via Lon
don.)-The Landsthing, the upper
house of the Danish Parliament, met
today as a committee of the whole to
consider the treaty providing for the
sale of the Danish West Indies to the
United States and AZ of the 81 mem
bers present placed themselves in ia
vor of the order of the day, stating
that the sale cannot be selected before
elections for both houses of Parliament
have been held. Five members of the
Landsthing were absent from the meet
ing.
The situation has been further COM
plicated by proposal from Premier
Zahle that the government resign and
help in the formation of a cabinet rep
resenting the various parties This pro-
posal, if carried out, would avoid the
holding of elections as advocated by
the conservatives and the left. The
premier put forward his proposal at
conference with the presidents of the
political parties in the Landsthing, but
it is uncertain if it can be carried out,
as the socialists have hitherto de-
clined to be represented in a cabinet
with members of the other party.
Nothing can be settled at present, as
many members of the Folkething are
not in town.
If the idea of a nonpartisan cabinet
is put into effect, a plebiscite will be
held on the question of the sale of the
islands
An influential member of the radical
government party stated in an inter-
view that the governments offer to
resign did not mean that it feared the
result of an election. but that it did
not wish to DELAY the sale of the
islands. He explained that If elections
were held the ratification of the sale
would be delayed three months or per-
haps more.

Food Frauds in Germany
Come to Light on Inquiry

The Hague, August 16.-The new Ger
man war usury bureau has justified it's
existence by revealing surprising details
of widely ramiie food frauds, accord
ing to reports received here. The frauds
are said to involve a half dozen leaders
and hundred accomplices. These men
are said to have struggled hundreds of
tons of wheat, rye and barley flour from
the province of West Prussia to Berlin,
where it was sold at profit of 300 per
cent.
The existence of the flour, reports say,
was concealed from government stock
takers by all manner of articles and was
shipped on night trains as potatoes or
machinery. Among the accomplices and
ring leaders were several government Of
ficials and several station masters, who
are charged with connivance in the fraud
by consigning flour under false descrip-
tions
German newspapers are demanding ex-
emplary punishment for the men arrested.
