Labor's Opinion Of Hughes
After He Retired From Politics

He also urged the enactment of labor laws
in his messages to the Legislature, even going
so far as to place the demand for a labor law
in one of his messages to an extra session of
the legislature.
"Only 1852 labor laws have been enacted
in this state since it's erection in 1777-in 1873
years. One-third of these, exceeding in
quality all of the others, have been enacted
and signed during Governor Hughes term
of three years and nine months.

"HE WAS A GREAT GOVERNOR"

Nov that Governor Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to place on the
highest judicial tribunal in the world, the
fact can be acknowledged without hurting
anybody's political corns, that he was the
greatest friend of labor laws that ever occu-
pied the governors chair at Albany. Dur
ing his two terms he has signed Sc labor
laws, including among them the best labor
laws ever enacted in this or any other state.

Today's Democratic Primary

The democratic primary election held in Alabama today under the new law will lack the exciting features of former years.
 Electioneering by candidates on the day of the primary is strictly for bidden. The ticket distributor will be conspicuous by his absence, and most remarkable of all will be the absence of the automobile or hack displaying streamers with simple legend, "Vote for Blank" Free conveyances of one sort or another for carrying voters to the polls used to be as thick as bug gies and teams at an old-fashioned political barbecue. The new law for bids them. Also an old-time character familiar on election days will be miss ing now-the man who sprung rumors or "roorbacks" intended to enhance LIlS C1ldHC0S Ol IIllS UT blldG CdHuludIc at the expense of an opponent. He was usually busient in the afternoon, about four hours before the time for the polls to close.
 With all these reminders that the day for voting has come consigned to the political scrap pile, so to speak, today will seem like Sunday. To all intents and purposes it will be half holiday, for although no excitement will be in evidence a great deal of excitement will be felt and the real devotee of politics will not feel much like working.
 Let's have a record breaking vote in Jefferson county. And may the best men win!

WHISPERS AND THRIFT

bergris, peppermint, patchouli, Algerian oil of geranium, Egyptian civet, and all of the other ingredients which must be included in a first-rate post-shavfng ap- plication will be, so the prophets of evil say, that shaving will become prohibi- tive to all financial classes below bank presidents The time will come when all one will have to do to learn who's who in any city will be to peer into the bar Der shops and see who can afford to be operated upon and duly and formally perfumed.
 Upon this state of fact Chicago paper the Chicagoese know nothing of the motives which animate members of the Smart Set-predicts that full boards will become fashionable. Nothing that is cheap becomes fashionable Tire sesame to society when the war has progressed to the stage at which a shave costs s1 without soothing substances and fancy perfumes, and from s4 up with expensive lotions, will be a newly shaven face, which proclaims itself to everyone to lee ward as having been worked upon at a barbershop frequented by none but pos- sessors of swollen fortunes.
 Whiskers and thrift will mark the man who is without social ambition

THE TEST OF AMERICA

Will Irwin in the Saturday Evening
 Post.
 Oh. the marvel of this France! There flashes into my mind now and then 8 picture of the America I know meeting such a calamity as this. l think of quiet Sctuate, in Massachusetts, with half it's houses put to the torch, with it's select men and clergymen held or shot as hos tages, with an alien army issuing from the town hall the orders which would stamp the Yankee into the system. l think of New York in mourning, in dark ness, all it's gayety over, all it's careless spending done, waiting and working, and stifling it's tears while for month after month the guns of the line make widows from Albany to New London. I think of busy Chicago, half ruined, yet forced to make ruin produce. I think of San Fran cisco, with all her careless songs muted. And I wonder if we would bear it all with half the bravery, the fortitude and the immortal hope of this people, who hated the idea of war, but who waged war when it was forced upon them, with the best. Sometimes I have doubted if we would stand the test.
 Then I remember the three immortal Canadian brigades who plugged the line at Second Ypres. They were as blood of our blood; one who marched with them could tell only from the uniform that they were not western volunteer regi- ments of our own army. The world knows what things they did. I think, too, of the San Francisco disaster. l remember how the millennium of kind ness was on this earth while the hard period lasted, how people were ashamed to speak of their own losses. And I real ize that we would stand the test The latent qualities are in us, as they are in the French. It would need only war, that lie which is half truth" to bring them forward

army legislation than any other man in Congress, has studied the army situation thoroughly and he feels as- sured that the National Guard is the best solution for augmenting the mili- tary forces of the United States with out creating large standing army.
 The naval committees are making slow progress on the preparedness programme. The friction in the navy, or rather in the navy department, is something of handicap to prepared ness plans; but the differences be- tween the Secretary and Admirable Fiske will be composed in time, it IS hoped, for the five-year programme work to be advanced to the legislative stage before June.
 In the meanwhile the military meas ures should be pushed in order to have them out of the way when the naval committees are ready to report.
 It would be serious reflection on a democratic administration if Con gress were to adjourn before settling anything along the line of prepared ness. There is no danger of that, however.

Lowestoft, visited recently by Zeppe- lins, is the most easterly city of the Brit ish Isles says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. It is a Suffolk port 100 miles northeast of London and about the same distance across the North sea from Zeebrugge, Belgium. It has a pop ulation of 35,o0o and before the war was one of the most fashionable watering places on the east coast of England. In 10S6 Lowestoft wag a hamlet of the royal manor of Lothngland and was seized during the civil war of the seventeenth century by Cromwell. In 1885 the Dutch fleet under Admiral Opdam was defeated in sight of the town. Eighteen of the enemys vessels were destroyed, includ- ing the ship of Admiral Opdam, which blew up with the loss of 800 lives. John Adams, first ambassador from the United States to England, landed at Dowestoft in 17S4. Both Lowestoft and Yarmouth are famous fer their herring fisheries. Their trawlers have played an important part in the present war. Large numbers of vessels have done effective work as mine sweepers and have performed bril- liant exploits in rescuing passengers from sinking ships. Neither submarine nor floating mines have prevented the sturdy fishermen from keeping England supplied with sea food

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. " HE man who would avoid the in

The war has raised the price of soap, bay rum and the various perfumed emollients which barbers de- light to smear upon the freshly shaven fowl before returning the victim at large. The minimizing capillament continues to obtrude itself upon the face of man regardless of the kiting of the price of all that contributes to make barbering one of the fine arts.

MEASURED WEALTH IN HORSES E. Nelson Fell in the Outlook.
 'The bal is so rich" said my host of the Siberian steppes (bai is the kirghiz word for lord and ma~.er), that what we have must seem very small to him. But he has seen our herds; does he think cur horses beautiful?"
 I replied that we admired his horses very much and that, although they were rot so large as ours, their conformation was very fine.
 'I have thousand horses continued Koorman; "how many has the bai?"
 I stammered that I owned five. This Information produced a most depressing effect.
 'The bal is so rich." he said, 'and yet he only owns five horses. I do not un-
 derstand it. Sultan Djingir has four thousand horses, Sultan Djumabek has two thousand, and Adam Bai is said to have three thousand, and you say that you have only five. How many sheep coes the bal own?" 'I regret to say that I own no sheep I replied.
 'Ah! Probably the bal owns large herds of cattle?"
 q have two cows" l said. The conversation was assuming a most unfortunate turn, and I felt that I was losing ground every minute; something desperate had to be done I remembered l that had in my pocket a colored photo | graph of the Poinciana hotel at Palm Beach, which I had lately received from a friend in Florida. ! Tt is true, my friend" I said, that do not own any cattle or sheep or horses, but see the house in which I live when
 I am in my own country" and I showed them the brightly colored print The effect was magical; the card was passed from hand to hand with every expression l of amazement and delight; my stock bounded upward. and never after that fell below par. May be forgiven for my deception!

 Trooper Norman Berry of North Syd- ney writes to his home from Matruh, ob- viously about the middle of December, relating what he calls "a bit of scrap'' with the Senussi. He says:
 Tt was very pleasant to hear the war ting over our heads and we could see them bursting among the enemy a mile away. One of our artillery guns helped us we'll We have g good many big guns here, and some cruisers. The enemy ap- pear to be very poorly equipped, and they have only one big gun, which they don't seem able to work properly, as it has done no damage yet. They appear very frightened of us and keep we'll in the hills in caves and dug-outs. We have aeroplanes which do great work re- connoitering every day. At present 1t seems as if we are surrounded, but we are well prepared for anything. and the sooner they come the sooner we will finish them as this placo is like hugo fortress.
 Mutrun, described by Berry as q huge fortress is doubtless the same base as mentioned by a.,West Australian soldier in letter to a friend in Perth under date of December 22 He says: This is veritable Ladysmith on a small scale with the sea as a sanctuary in case of need The place is well fort- fled with wire entanglements, so we are in position to give good account of ourselves if necessary
 The want of water is referred to by several of the letter writers. One says: Water here is very scarce, and what we do getis of a very poor quality ana has to be boiled before it can be used.
 Fresh water IS brought from Alexandria in trawlers that were used at GallipOi. as miro sweepers, but it is used vnry sparingly." Another says that wells are guarded by Sikhs to prevent their beiux poisoned by the natives.
