N UT in Denver, always progress o sive town, the Domestic Work ers' union has compiled list of about one thousand housewives, whose vir- tues and failings are cataloged. We'll to-do mistresses who show the slight
 est disregard Denver Housewives for the preroga- Facing Sabotage tives of kitch-
 en queen will be speedily brought to terms.
 According to a more or less vera cious correspondent, when a domestic worker has a grievance the union will investigate, and if drastic measures are deemed necessary there will short ly be more trouble in that blacklisted household than it's inmates ever be- fore dreamed of. There are so many ways of reprisal that there is no need to mention more than two or three. The smashing of china-the more costly the better-is a time-honored method for getting even." Red pepper in soup, salty sherbet at bridge par ties and spoiled dinners will show that the organized cooks are not to De trifled with.
 The servant problem is bad enough without additional complications. Those Denver housewives who are in the unions bad graces should lose no time in knuckling under. Doubtless suitable apologies and promises to De good in the future will have the de- sired effect. It's bold woman now adays who takes liberties with her cook, even when the cook is anything but a jewel.
 n NE of the first English actors O who went to the front was pest known on the stage for his ability to play "silly ass" roles. He died the other day after having fought gal 1antly in France for his country.
 Often enough the silly ass of the stage is silly ass in everyday life.
 At any rate, A Silly Ass" rattling goo d Who Went to War story appeared
 in one of the Sunday magazines, inspired by this mans career. The contrast between the sort of man he appeared to be and what he really was at heart stirs the imagination. In the Boer war also he fought bravely and won promotion.
 Lionel Walsh was not great actor, and it may be that the casual observer who saw him on Broadway found lit tie of the heroic in his appearance and his manner. And it may be that the author of the magazine story libeled his hero in order to make more eff fective climax. It matters little now. Walsh aimed for shining goal and found it-in death.
 Incidentally he set an example which many English actors who came over to the United States when the war started show no inclination to fol- low.
 THE country will be treated to l much speech making between August and November. In addition to the presidential candidates the choicest oratorical talent will be heard on the stump.
 Few Presidents have equaled Will son as speaker, and not one has sur-
 passed him. Benja- Speech Making min Harrison was an on the Stump exceptionally felici-
 tous "stumper," all ways fresh and always saying something that impressed his hearers. But President Wilson is just as ready as Harrison and far more eloquent and far more gripping. MT. Hughes, his chief opponent, is what is styled pleasant speaker, but he is no match, oratori- cally, for the President.
 But it is the cause, the record, the array of facts that will tell in favor of the democrats, rather than oratory,

DEARTH OF PIANO KEY MAKERS
From the London Globe

From tne LOnuOn GIUUe ---
 Because there are at present only three men in England who can make particu- lar kind of ivory pianoforte key, one of the three was exempted provisionally by the Essex appeal tribunal. The military representative agreed that there was no alternative.

BEGINNING THE DAY-Redeem me, o my God. from the sickness of cynicism. Let me see enough people and see them closely enough to be- heye In them. Take away from me the sop of reflection upon the worlds weakness. Give me to live a little with the strong among men and with the strong in men. Put some iron in me.

J. R. Bass Is Coming

T have just received word that J. R. Bass of Nashville, national chair man of membership of the Travellers Protective association, will be present at the meeting of Post B at the Cham Der of Commerce next Saturday night, said Frank M. Means yesterday after noon. "We are trying to have one of the best meetings the local post ever held and the presence of MT. Bass will be great aid to that end.
 "The members of the T. P. A. in Bir- mingham are taking a great interest in the work of the organization now and we expect to increase our repre- sentation in the national body next year"

 as the vice presidential candidate, he was also the nominee of the populist or peoples party with Thomas B. Watson as his running mate. There were seven tickets that year. In 1900 when Bryan was again the democratic nominee there were eight tickets in the field, but five of them received only Scattering" votes.
 The democratic party being solidly united will poll the full party vote, and as has frequently happened, a large independent vote in addition. Just what percentage of the erstwhile progressive strength will go to Wilson is problematical, of course, but it will be by no means small.
 MT. James J. Corbett will visit these parts next winter as a dramatic star. However, he will not attempt Shake speare, thought doubtless having some ideas about the way Hamlet" should be played.
 It Is said that the author of q Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier" has had change of heart. Anyhow, he's made all the money he's going to out of that song.
 If the progressives adopt the Ameri- can eagle for their party emblem the cartoonists will have to be careful about caricaturing that grand old bird. Surely Captain Parkers call for men with red blood in their veins will not go unheeded? These days every other man you meet is a red blooded individual As matter of fact, the republicans haven't a leg to stand on, but to hear them talk, you would think they had as many legs as a centipede
 Can you blame Captain Koenig for lingering as long as possible? He won't have much time to read Shakespeare on his trip back to Bremen.
 Another attempt will be made to close the Sunday movie shows in Bir- mingham. Somebody is always taking the joy out of life.
 Berlin is apparently unruffled by the allies "big push" but at this distance it is impossible to say how Berlin real ly feels about it.
 Better late than never. but those screened kitchens and dining rooms should have been provided for the troops before they were sent to the bor- der.

 Henry Ford will probably decline to lead the prohibition party. Henry's had enough undesirable publicity.

war e0QS.
 although that is not to be underrated. Democratic policy as well as demo- cratic achievement will make great appeal to all classes of the electorate. MT. Hughes cannot with any heart or boldness attack President Wilson's administration. There never was a campaign in which the republicans could make so little capital of what the democrats had done or had failed to do. If MT. Hughes can speak with any degree of enthusiasm or strike a note of hope he will deserve all the more credit for rising above a situa- tion that seems anything but cheering from republican point of view. T HE rural credits bill, which was ! agreed to by conference com mittee of Congress several weeks ago, received the Presidents signature yes terday and the law will soon be in operation. This is one of the great measures included in President Will sons legislative programme and will
 rank close to the  Rural Credits federal serve Bill Now Law bank act. It will
 do for the farmers what the reserve system has done for the financial and commercial interests of the country.
 The republicans had long talked about the need of banking reform, but it remained for the democrats to adopt currency bill that is now conceded by business men and publicists to be the best financial relief measure ever devised by either of the two rival political parties.
 For many years Congress had been urged to pass bill which would en- able the farmers to borrow money on land mortgaged at low interest rates. Republicans and democrats were alike committed to a rural credits measure, but it remained for the democrats to shape workable bill and pass it. If nothing more in the way of construct i've legislation had been accomplished during Wilson's administration than the passage of the banking and cur rency bill and the rural credits pill the democrats would be entitled to retention in power. But much more is to the credit of the democrats.
 The republican party used to pride itself on being the business mans party; on being the party whose legis- lation promoted prosperity and kept the wage workers dinner pail full. But no republican administration ever made a record of far-reaching benefit to the many-business interests, in- dustrial interests and agricultural in- terests-such as the democrats have done.
 Certain it is that if MT. Hughes  were in President Wilson's place he could propose nothing by way of re- peal or amendment that would im- prove on the Wilson legislative policies.
 THERE will be not less than five j. presidential tickets in the con- test this year, which has been the minimum number since 1872, when there were eight. There were six tickets four years ago.
 The only nominees for the presi- dency in the race thus far are Wood-
 row Wilson and Charles In This and E. Hughes. This week Other Years the prohibition party
 will add third ticket, and on the 9th of August, assuming that John M. Parker's appeal will bear fruit, the progressives will increase the number of tickets to four. The socialists will make nominations as usual, and it is not unlikely that the social or labor independents will put out a ticket, as they have done many

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT.

SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT. Now come the days when lanRuor steals Upon us as we toll. One feels If he could in hammock lie And watch the cloud ships in the sky, Or else upon the spangled sod Recline and mediate and nod, He'd gladly drop out of the race For fame and pelf and lofty place And let the busy world roll on, Nor heed the golden moments gone. The daily round of duties seems Unbearable and naught redeems The somber hues dull labor wears, Nor lifts the burdens of our cares. But he who fights the battle still And plods along with right good will, Shall find when autumn breezes blow Life's ancient zest renewed-he'll show Some speed and with expanded chest Will say he scorned to take a rest, A respite seek, as others do, But stoutly saw the summer through.

Congress VIII Miss Him

While President Wilson made a good selection when he appointed Congress- man James Hay to a vacancy in the United States court of claims, I regret to see the distinguished Virginian leave the House of Representatives" said H. H. Vaughan of the District of Columbia, formerly of the Old Do- minion.
 T am not personally acquainted with MT. Hay but I have watched his course in Congress and have long been im- pressed with his good sense and his straightforward manner. There may be more brilliant members of the Vir- ginia delegation than MT. Hay, but none more useful.
 He was a member of the military committee in his first term, I believe. He was there, at, any rate, during the Spanish American war. No one in Con- gress, I am told, understands army matters so well as MT Hay. As chair man of the military committee in the Sixty-fourth Congress he has done splendid work. He will certainly be missed in the halls of legislation"

The Rumsey Tax

Frank V. Evans historical statement Tn regard to the collection by the city or Birmingham of the Rumsey special tax of the early sos Is correct| re- marked B. A. Thompson, who. like MT. Evans, served the city for many years as alderman, treasurer and then mayor.
 If MT. R. E. Middleton, who ex- presses doubt as to the correctness of MT. Evans statement, has not lost his tax receipts, he will discover by exam ming them that I, as treasurer and col lector, continued under orders of the board to collect from him this special tax for at least two years after pr. John L. Davis retired from the office of col lector and I am almost certain that the collection was continued for some time after my retirement. The amount collected under the Rumsey judgment was many times more than the debt. It was done under pressure of necessity, and probably would have been continued had not taxpayer objected"
