 U President is making no claims, but the managers of the two big par- ties will contiue to act and talk hopefully to the last.
 It is generally felt that the demo- crats are gaining strength steadily. In New York as well as in the west, there has been a distinct improve ment in the democratic situation.
 In no campaign. in fifty years have the republicans put forth so little ar- gument of moral or patriotic na- ture as now. Selfishness dominates the councils of the reactionaries, Jus tice and right counts for nothing with these men.
 The League of Nations is the out standing issue. It is based on moral consciousness and the American peo- pie are responding more and more to the appeal of men like Governor Cox and his true-hearted supporters.
 If the swing from the republican column to the democratic column con- tinues as strong as it has been in the last ten days, Cox will be an easy winner.
 The outlook for the democracy looks as bright, at any rate, as it did four years ago, when we lost New York but elected Wilson by the turn poli- tics took in certain of the states be- yond the. Mississippi. It looks far brighter than it did four days before the election of Cleveland, in 1884, when the Rev. Dr. Burchard stepped up and in order to make Blaine's chances doubly sure, spoiled all.
 No telling what will happen be- tween now and November 2, but any change may be counted on for the democratic ticket.
 Alabama Steel Ships Encircle the Globe 6NHE fourth 10,000-ton all-Ala-
 bama steel ship built in Alabama's s port is on her way around the world carry an all-Alabama cargo and manned by practically an all-Alabama crew.
 The Mobile City is headed to San Francisco, Hawaii, Japan, China, h. dia, the Philippines, the Suez canal, thence to England, then home. She will encircle the globe as her sister ship, the Birmingham City did, and the people of the gloha will be made familiar with the products of Ala bama and her leading cities.
 It is the story of coal and iron completed. The coal, ore and lime stone that slept for centuries in Red mountain and Jones valley waiting the time when men should need them, are now translated into finished prod ucts.
 The finishing touch was applied when young men of Mobile signed on the crew of the Mobile City and is- sued forth to learn something of the great world with which we, must trade more and more if we are to have markets for the increasing pro- ductivity of our mines, mills and farms. These young fellows will re- turn to Alabama with broadened minds and will to extend our com mercial relations to the outermost corners of the earth that their people may be prosperous and happy. In Canton, in Tokio, in Calcutta, along the Suez, in Rotterdam, Glas- gov, and Liverpool the Birmingham City, the Ensley City, the Mobile City, the Montgomery City and their sister ships yet to come will serve to fa- miliarize these people with what Ala bama has to sell to them and to in- crease their dealings with us. That means trade for the mill man and the farmer and money for their prod ucts.
