OF which all progress thrives, be fittingly ommenorated.
 The following typically anti-suffrage letter has fallen into the hands of the editor of this department, having been sent to certain Alabama congressman
 Dear Sir-I have been requested to ob- tain signatures to protest against equal suffrage. Everywhere l am confronted with, is it coming, we had just as well prepare for it. and the working woman needs the ballot.
 Now, I find it will take some prepara- ton for it not to come, and some in- sight into the kind of working woman we may have to count on. I have pretty good arguments against suffrage, but ~ find myself in need of information coh- cerning our state affairs.
 I would like to know the number of white women and the number of --~o women in Alabama, also the labor laws concerning women In our state I simply want to prove that our men have been thoughtful of their women. There is a law. I believe, that grants female clerks the privilege of sitting for a certain DOT tion of the day, but l have never inves- tigated the conditions of laboring women. as we have only negro laborers where live. l shall esteem it quite favor { you will send me any information you might consider helpful

 The lady is correct, it will take some preparation for suffrage to be long de- ferred in Alabama; she is also correct in admitting her lack of information, as well as interest in the affairs of her. state.

 It is a fearsome picture, an awful con dition to contemplate, this trusting the motherhood the wifehood of the great commonwealth of Alabama with the bel- lot. and besides it might result in main- taining white supremacy" as there are 142, 453 more white women in Alabama than negro women. But, of course. the negro women. although being in such minority. would be eligible to vote by reason of their being able to meet the tax paying educational qualifications. and the white women of this state are neither educated, nor do they pay taxes. according to the logic of the antis.

and doubt has been expressed as to whether Alabama coal would stand this test l have been unable to find any reference to the application of these tests, but assume that it relates to the ability of the coal to withstand hand ling incidental to the usual shipping and storage on naval vessels. In this connection a recent coal report of the West Virginia geological survey Vol IT (A) 1908, page IT, referring to coal of the Pocahontas bed that is so large ly used by the navy says:
 "'On account of the loss in handling and transporting coa1s that crush and pulverize easily like these Pottsville fuels 1t would be better not to at tempt their exportation except in briquetted form. A large foreign trade could easily be acquired in the export of briquetts from these soft and easily pulverized coals of the New River and Pocahontas groups if the business could be undertaken in a modern and systematic manner in connection with by-product coke ovens which would furnish the coal tar to act as bind ing material
 "To facilitate comparison of the re- suits of the steaming tests published in detail in bulletin 23, bureau of mines, have averaged the more important features of these tests of the states of west virginia, OhlO, 1lllnolS ana Ala- bama and also five tests of coal from Pocshontas bed, West Virginia. It is gratifying to see that Alabama coal from the Pratt seam makes better showing than tho average of five tests of Pocahontas coal. Individual tests of Pocahontas coal may make better showing but the same may be expect ed of Pratt coal, as only one test can hardly be expected to be a fair demon stration.

Dr. Eugene A. Smith. state geologist, yesterday made public statement from R. S. Hodges, chemist of the de- partment, calling attention to the fine showing Alabama coal has made on steaming tests.
 MT. Hodges shows this coal ranks with the best West Virginia and vir- ginia coals and is greatly superior to the coals of Illinois, Ohio and western Pennsylvania He believes g. bright fu- ture awaits the Alabama product. His formal statement is as followsi
 'In connection with the proposed testing of Alabama coal for use in the navy a comparison of former tests made by the government of Alabama coal with coal from other states may be of interest.
 "The results of these tests are pub lished in bulletin 23, bureau of mines, 1912, and include tests made at the St Louis testing plant and later those made after the plant was removed to Norfolk where the tests were con- fined to West Virginia and Virginia coals. A study of this report will show that Alabama coal ranks with the best West Virginia and Virginia coaIs and is greatly superior to the coals of Illinois, Ohio and western Pennsy1- vania, which are shipped in large amounts down the Ohio and Missis sippi rivers to New Orleans.
 For the most part, the Alabama coa1s submitted for these tests were of high ash content and do not repre- sent the best these mines are capable of marketing; otherwise the showing for Alabama would be even better.

 Reports from Washington have in dlcated that in coal for use in the navy the government would require that the coal should conform to pressure tests

STATES AUSTRALIAN ATTITUDE

Q IA LC AO OO htAIlAlN "A III U LIE
 Ottawa, Ont, February 19.-Premier Hughes of Australia outlined the at titude of that commonwealth toward the war in an address at the Canadian club today. He declared, as a labor representative, that preparedness and compulsory service are essential for the security of any free people who desire to retain their freedom.
 The premier's address was greeted with cheers Among his hearers were the Duke of Connaught, governor gen. eral of Canada; Sir Robert Borden, the premier; Sir Wilfrid Laurier, leader of the opposition; cabinet ministes, and many of the prominent men in the dominion.
 After praising the "dauntless bravery of the Canadians" Premier Hughes declared historic Balaklava was not to be compared with the charge of the Eighth Australian Light Horse, where only Is men survived out of 800 When the order for the charge was given 10 hours before it took place the men knew that for most of them it meant certain death. and they gave farewell messages to friends at home to their comrades in the trenches
 Australia has 240,00 men enlisted, he said. and 145.000 have been sent to the front. By June it is expected 30O,- 900 will be under arms.
 Australians, the premier declared, valued their democracy and liberty and were ready to fight for them to the last man. He said every man should be educated in the first duty of citizen ship, which is ability to defend his country, his home and himself.
