Chairman Vance G.. Mccormick OF
gave out this week the following let
ter from cambridge Colby, who
placed eX-President Roosevelt in nom
nation in the Progressive convention
at Chicago. telling why he and other
distinguished members of the Bull
Moose party will support President
Wilson for reelection, whereas he
has vigorously opposed Hughes in a
number of public utterances. 1t is
Mr.. Colby's first announcement that
he is for Wilson.
August 10
Hon. Vance Mccormick,
Chairman Democratic National
Committee:
Mr.. Dear Mr.. Mccormick: Your
suggestion that there is ample foun-
dalton for effective and agreeable CO.
operation between the Progressives
and the Democratic party in the re-
election of the president, is true be-
yond all question, and / accept your
invitation looking to such co-opera-
ton, unhesitatingly and with pleas
ure.
The achievements of the Demo-
cratic party, under the leadership of
Woodrow Wilson, in the field of lrc-
gressive legislation, constitute much
more than appeal for support. The
record Of the president is a veritable
claim for such support upon all sin
cere Progressives, which the latter
cannot consistently ignore or deny
Unregenerate Republicanism.
Particularly is this true, as the op-
position to the presidents reelection
proceeds from an unregenerate Re-
that has weathered the
danger of reform, reabsorbed its most
vociferous critic, and abandoned itself
again to rancid reaction.
They they all are, the old guard,
see for yourself, count them If you

GIRLS WITH FLOWER NAMES.
Arrange Q Club For ths Study u Wild
Planto,

Mil Valley. Cal.-Out Of tho deep
tangled wildwood Of this hamlet, nes-
thing at the base of Mount Tamalpais,
has come a school children's club,
unique at least in the nomenclature Of
its governing officers.
The club has been organized for the
study Of wild flowers. which are now
a gay pattern Of many colors over the
sloping hills of the countryside. The
children, mostly girls, met and elected
officers, as follows: President, Char
lotte Rose; vice president, Margaret
Leaf; secretary, Doris Plant; treasurer,
Mary Moss; Directors, Violet White
and Fern Murphy.
They will begin at once their studies,
which are to be prosecuted vigorously
In all Of their out of school hours.
No blooms of rarest ray serene will
be permitted to bud and blush unseen
in the shady dells Of Tamalpals.

The hall of the main floor of the
state house was turned into a dane

and their women folk from Port Or
chard invaded Olympia. They had a
fiddle and banjo along and with
music furnished by these the old
folks danced the old-fashioned quad
rifles.

THE SUPERFICIAL AGE

From Golfers.
 The most striking characteristic of this age-some observers say-is it's amazing disregard of the past. We live in the present-of art. of literature, of history. exactly-and precedent is rarely invoked on any question. Accurate verbal state ment of any question is unusual. The daily-that is to say, the hourly editions of the newspapers-the never ending mov- ing pictures, the rapid fire book and magazine presses are united to destroy memory and prevent reflection. Discus sion is of the topical, the minute, and serious words a bore All of which means that in our rebound from old-fash- ioEed pedantry we have fallen into an almost idiotic superficiality of memory and emotion. What is to be the end of all this memory destroying art? Any man of middle age can test in himself this de- cay of the faculty of exact reproduction of past learning, past perception. Names of books and of authors are bungled in the telling, figures are given with reck- less slovenlness, and only the vaguest outline of any philosophic principle gets representation. No doubt these facts make for elimination of the old fogy" and the deifcation of the moving picture actress, but it may also be putting out of conversation something we can i'll af- ford to lose. It may be that this super- ficial habit will eliminate the city boy from the government of the world more n1a al i,,f i,,+ +l,a Out of the silences-out of meditation will come the rulers of the future, of that we may be certain.

Don't Pay Poll Tax

Marc Link, well known clothier, asserted yesterday that if the refer endum to close the Sunday movies had not been enjoined it would have carried at the polls owing to the in- difference of the so-called liberal ele- rlent in paying their poll taxes and thereby earning the right of suffrage. The church workers would have succeeded in closing up the photoplay houses on Sunday" said MT. Link yes terday, If their referendum had not been enjoined by the courts. They would have won at the polls because they are organized; they pay their poll taxes and they vote on every ques- tion in which they are interested
 There are many voters who favor the Sunday pictures but they would not walk 10 feet to vote for them Many others favor the opening of the theatres on Sunday, but they unfortu- nately have not paid their poll taxes. If every white man of voting age in Alabama paid his poll taxes and voted narrowness and intolerance would be swept out of power and this state would soon assume it's rightful place as one of the progressive provinces of the south.
 But unfortunately the so-called lib- eral element does not vote It seem- ingly prefers to watch the onward march of intolerant movements and has only energy enough to knock and pity themselves for the plight they find themselves in As matter of fact, knocking will not bring any re- lief, and the only remedy is organi- zation and solidarity in the ranks. Let the liberal leaders teach the rank and file to take an interest in their gov ernment. Birmingham is rightfully en- titled to 5000 more voters than have already registered. Of those delinquent 5000 something like 95 per cent Of them have liberal ideas on government but they haven't enough patriotism about them to pay their poll taxes in order to be able to wield the ballot The nonvoting element represents one of the grave phases of the vital prob lem of what is the matter with Bir- mingham."

"PIKE's PEAK OR BUST.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 $ A young motorist9 has just climbed to the top of Pike's Peak. 1215 mile run, in few seconds less than 23 minutes. How Lieut. Zebulon M. Pike, who dis covered the mountain in 1906. or Major Long, who first scaled it in 1s19, would have Hooked at each other with wild sIrmise" were they alive to learn of the feat today! In the days of the forty miners the monarch of El Paso county, Col, stood as a beacon to the promised land of Fl Dorado, but the travellers were scarcely more concerned with the ascent view than was Hannibal or Julius Caesar when he crossed the Alps. The Rockies were merely formidable barrier to the creaking wagons of the gold prospectors. The tourist who climbs to the summit nowadays by the rack and -pinion railway and beholds the vast panorama of noun ta1ns and we'll watered plains outrolled before him can hardly imagine the ex- traordinary effort of the pioneers in the western wilderness century ago. Even the iron horse covering a distance of eight and three-quarter miles from En- gelrnan's Canyon in an hour and a half, cannot compete with the record made by the automobile whose daring driver took the many hairpin turns, on a grade of 10 per cent. at express speed. While the utility of such performance may easily De called in question. the feat could not nave been executed without a success ful conspiracy of mechanical science and personal intrepidity not unworthy of passing commemoration.

Profits in Graphite

Many people over the state do not real ize the importance of the graphite mines in Clay county" said D. II. Riddle. a prominent attorney of Talladega, who was in Birmingham yesterday. Recently there have been several companies formed, some of them with Birmingha in capital, which are now working these de- posits with wonderful success. Graphite Is rather scarce article in this country and the owners of these mines are mak-
 ing fine returns on their investments, with prospects for still better profits as the work progresses.
 Mir. Riddle, who has been prominent in politics for some years and who made a strong race several years ago for the DO sition of attorney general, declined to discuss politics Tt is too early to make any predictions as to the races two years hence, although it would not prove sur prising if the situation did not take more or less definite shape immediately after the presidential election in November. There will doubtless be one or more an- rouncements by the first of the year."

While on the march toward the city on the Bosphorus the Emperor was seized with sudden illness and died in great agony, probably the victim of a treacher- ous poisoner.
