Church Has No Politics.

TT is falsely charged that the Nor
mon church controls the politics of
Utah. and that the representative from
Utah was nominated and elected by
Mormon church influence. 1t is false
ly charged that the Mormon church
leaders sought to have Roberts elected
to test the sentiment of the people of
the United States as to whether Utah
would be held to the agreement III the
matter of the abandonment of polyg-
amous or plural marriages. This is too
silly to require refutation.
TT is falsely charged that Roberts
was elected to crowd polygamy down
the tllroats of the American congress
and people. to fulfill an allegeS pre-
diction of Brigham Young that it would
yet be DONE
TT is falsely charged that the con-
gresham from Utah was elected to
represent polygamy. That if he is
seated and retains his seat it will mean
that congress indorseS polygamy and
that there will be an Immediate revival
of the Mormon plural marriage system
in Utah.
Does the house of representatives
indorse the Individual views of all the
men il admits to membership? If So
cialists should from some congressional
district elect a congressman, would his
admission to the house say to the world
that the, American congress indorsed

COMMITTEE OF
 S1 APPOINTED By Commercial Club to Again Take Up
 ArmOr Plate Matter. m CONGRESSMAN UNDERWOOD Discussed the Probability of Government
 Building a Plant. QUESTION OF A STATE FAIR Was Taken Up and a Committee Ap- pointed to Take the Matter in
 Charge-President Ander-
 sons First Report
QUESTION OF A STATE FAIR

The Commercial club held it's regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon and some matters of great importance to the city of Birmingham were discussed. Presl- dent F. Y. Anderson read his first report to the club, and it was teeming with good, practical ideas.
 Hon. O. w. Underwood was present and delivered a very interesting speech on the subject of armor plate factories, and why should be located in Birmingham.
 A meeting of the board of directors was held just prior to the club meeting, and the reports of the secretary and several committees were heard. This business being soon dispensed with, the club meet ing was called to order. The reading of the minutes was omitted and President Ander- son read his first report, the full text of which is given below. Among other things Major Anderson discussed the questions of locating the armor plate factory and the holding of an annual state fair at Birming ham. At the conclusion of the report MT. Rountree moved that committee of nine be appointed to confer with Commissioner of Agriculture I. F. Culver and see if an appropriation could be gotten. The motion was unanimously carried
 Mr. Rhodes then made motion to the effect that d committee of thirty-one with the president added be appointed to work towards securing the armor plate factory for Birmingham. The president named the following committees A. M Shook chair man; W. T. Underwood, T. G. Bush, Rufus N. Rhodes, E. w. Barrett, Wm. Vaughan, M. V. Joseph, J. H. Adams, Robert Jeml- son, B. r. Moore, R. H. Pearson, N. E. Barker, John w. Tomlinson, J. ". Milner, T. II. Aldrich, H. r. DeI3ardeleben, E. NJ. Tutwiler, w. H. HassinSer, c. M. Shelley, B. Steiner, pr. J. W. Hughes, George M. Cruikshank, w. H. Kettig, Erskine Ram sey, B. F. Roden, J. K. Mcdonald, J. A. Montgomery, Asa Rountree, Fred Sloss, F. Y. Anderson.
 MT. Underwood was then called upon to address the club on the subject of armor plate.
 MT. Underwood's Speech
 MT. Underwood's speech showed that it was not only possible, but probable, that Birmingham could secure the armor plate plant. His speech was a plain practical talk, and showed the club the disadvan- tages it would have to labor under in com peting with numerous northern cities in case congress passed the act establishing a government armor plate factory.
 He thought that by persistent and

PEARSON MINES STILL OUT
No Money on Domestic Goal at Present
 Wages

The Pearson coal mines at Warrior are still out of operation, as they have been since the 1st of July. Colonel Pearson has notified the miners that no money can be made on domestic and steam coal at the present increased rate of wages demanded by the miners, consequently he has been forced to shut down the mines to wait for rise in the price of coal or for the miners to decrease their demands. Presi- dent Young of District 20, United Mine Workers, said yesterday that in a case like this the local would have a right to do as it pleased, and could sign special con- tract with the operator if they so desired; ; provided, however, that such action did mine.
 The work of organizing locals of the United Mine Workers is being pushed viz orously by President Young and other officials. Thursday he organized a local among the miners of Tutwiler mine No j, at Murray. There were twenty members the first night, and all the other men at this mine will join at once.
 MT. Young has a number of other locals which will be organized soon, most of them during next week. They are the Jet mines on the Southern railroad, just beyond Car TWO mines at Dogwood, in Shelby county; the Clements mine at Coalburg; and the Tutwier No. 3 at Pinkney

Good Roads

''In speaking at a banquet the other day Chauncey M. Depew, United States sena- tor from New York, said Bad roads are a perpetual evil I am inclined to think the club would render great service to the community at large if it would take up the subject of good roads, Good country roads not only advance the value of property through which they run, but permit the farmers to come to town and market their produce, and thus cheapen the living ex- penses of tho people in the city, and at the same time, benefit both the merchants and the farmers in creating business be- tween them. Another feature of good roads is the pleasure and health they give to those fortunate enough to be able to drive over them. Considerable complaint is made by the merchants that a largo number of families leave Birmingham for the summer, thus lessening their trade. l am satisfied that if we had good drives many of the people who now leave would be contented to remain in Birmingham the entire year.
 "In connection with this matter, l again call the attention of the club to the impor- tanee of advocating the building of the Red mountain boulevard. This boulevard is capable of being made the grandest and most picturesque drive in the south. It will bring into the market five miles of build- ing sites, now so much needed for residence property It would attract the attention and admiration of every stranger coming here it would give health and pleasure to our citizens who would drive over it; and families that now have to leave the city for the summer will be contented to remain by reason of having a place to drive without danger of being smothered with dust or slaughtered by electric or steam cars

The manufacturers of Royal Baking Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality or wholesomeness. The highest grade and most highly refined ingredients only are employed in Royal; hence it's well known superiority.
 It is always the case that the consumer suffers in pocket if not in health by accepting cheap powders as substitutes for Royal Baking Powder.
 The Royal is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the highest class baking powder.
 Avoid alum baking powders.

 Text of Maj. Anderson's Report
 The meeting then adjourned.
 Following is a full text of Major Ander- sons report:
 q must congratulate the Commercial club upon the organization of two mer- chants associations since our last meeting. All large cities have many organizations of this kind, and these new associations are strong indications of our growth and prosperity. The formation of these bodies will help the Commercial club by relieving it from the necessity of agitating several knotty questions, which otherwise would have to be taken up and solved, such the constitutionality of the Birmingham amendment. which one of these. assoeia- tions has already taken up, and deserves much commendaton for the prompt and vigorous manner in which it has prose- cuted the question to a final settlement. If these associations are formed on other than selfish lines and on the broad prin- ciple of doing the greatest good to the greatest number, I have no doubt consid- erable benefit to the community at large will be the result. The Commercial club will heartily join in every way possible in assisting these new organizations in this good work. We have made arrangements to allow one of these associa tions the use of the rooms of the Commercial club for its meetings, and there is possibility that similar arrangement will be made with the other association.
 "Nithout natural resources and with a surrounding country capable of furnishing little aid, Atlanta has been fashioned into great city, solely through the instrument ality of it's citizens working in harmony together. Birmingham, with it's many ad- vantages, may not need this unanimity to become a great city, but certainly if our people will stand and work together for the common good, it will do much towards at- taiing this end.

City Directory

Believing as do in patronizing home in- dustres, recommend that efforts be made to have the new city directory published by some of our local firms. Heretofore, ex- cept in few instances it has been pulp lished by outside parties, and I see no rea- son why citizens of Birmingham should not do this work and do it much better than outsiders"
