HeIlen kelIer's Triumph.

Miss Helen Keller, now no longer dumb, but wholly blind and deaf, is now in her freshman year at Radcliffe College, the annex of Harvard Univer- sity. She has just won new and ex- ceptional honors there, for over the heads of forty other girls she has just been promoted from what is known at the college as English twenty-second class to English twelfth class. The pro- motion was made on the recommends tion of the professor of English on ac- count of extraordinary progress in studies.
 It is difficult to understand how this young girl, so handicapped, is able to excel in studies all other students in her classes, but that she does do so is made plain by her recent promotion. Not the less remarkable is her ability to talk, even to address the class, al- though she has no guide in hearing or seeing to the tones of her voice. She must be highly intelligent, skillfully in- structed and extremely persistent. What this noble Alabama girl has accom- plished should be an inspiration to those more highly favored by fortune, for surely what she is able to do they can do.

School History Burned.

In the little town of Forsyth in Geor- gia there was last week bonfire, and in that bonfire a book was selemnly and formally burned. In other words, the book in question was condemned by the citizens of the little town, that condemnation taking the old-time form of consumption by fire. The burned hook will not trouble any one hereafter.
 The book burned was a history of the United States, prepared for use in the schools by Edward s. Ellis, and pub lished by the Collier Company of New York. The speeches made on the occa- sion of the Forsyth bonfire were not reported, but it appears in one way or another that the Ellis book does not so much deal in untrue statements as 1t does in terms that are very sectional and objectionable. Confederate Veter- ans are called "rebels," and it fairly bristles with the word rebellion"
 The truth is, the war in question was civil strife. It was a conflict among the States, some being on one side and some on the other. It is ended, and all are back in the union again. Now, why should men who fought conscientiously in such a strife be stigmatized as "reb- els" ? Why not rise above sectionalism and narrowness by admitting that a

 JEN pit. That charity which minis- - ters expect of men should like wise be exercised by the man of God. I refer to a recent sermon preached in great popular church of Birmingham. The good minister was discussing afternoon card parties, and he is said to have used expression to the effect that he would as soon expect to find roses and flowers bloom ing in the ice fields of Spitzbergen as to find charity, religion or generosity in wom- en who gave or attended afternoon p-o- gressive euchre parties or other card par ties.
 Il is not pleasant to take issue with "rncn of the cloth' I sought several months ago to express an opinion to the effect that the method of spending money in the mission ary field-especially in China-was to bring Chinese youths to this country, give them a Christian education, and send them back to preach the gospel to their own people. For mere expression Of opinion I was harshly criticized and denounced in the most vicious terms by high official of great church. That was his privilege. made no reply to his personal assault
 It is well, however, for all of us who have views to express them occasionally, pro- vided we exercise charity and generosity in stating what we believe to be just and proper And I feel that these recent eS- pressions in the sermon referred to were uncalled for and uncharitab1e. Why should the1e De objections to good women enter taining one another at their homes? When a crowd is gathered there must be some form of entertainment more than mere talk Musical selections and different forms of games are always in order The objec- ton to cards seems to be simply because of the fact that cards are used at times by men for gambling purposes Other things besides cards are likewise used for gamb- ling purposes. I once knew a man to bet another round sum of money on whether he would touch a black or a white key on the keyboard of a piano. One man stood across the room with his back turned to the piano and called to the other one 10 strike a note on the keyboard. The first undertook to tell whether it was a black or white key that his gambling-inclined rival touched. So it seems that men who will gamble can find numberless methods for doing

Better BirminQham.

Moral progress is keeping pace with the industrial and commercial growth of Birmingham, and the unsavory appli- cation of the term Bad" before the fair name of the city will soon be but memory of the past and associated only with it's early history.
 Improvement along moral lines is more noticeable in the light of past lax ness, and the clearing of the atmosphere gives inspiration and hope to the moral element that must control and lend it's good influence to building up and sus- taining a. righteous community.
 The effects of this influence is seen in the effort that has and is being made to break up gambling, Sunday whisky selling and other practices that tend to impair the moral stamina of city or community. Every influence for good is being nurtured and can but result in the creation of a strong public senti- ment that will frown down any attempt to degrade the moral standard.

limitations of the franchise in certain southern states. In other words, the Re- publicans are making every effort to limit the representation of southern states, in \ Congress. where there happens to be an educational or property qualification which eliminates ignorant negroes from the ball. lot box.
 There are those who abuse J. Pierpont Morgan and it would seem, from the reso- lution introduced in Congress yesterday to have the Attorney General of the United States proceed to attempt to destroy the great iron and steel organization which he has formed, that by a certain element he is looked upon as a highwayman. On the other hand, I look upon this as the possessor of the greatest industrial and financial brain perhaps in the history of the world. It is a fact that through his efforts hundreds of small pieces of railroad have been consolidated into great systems, and he is today practically at the head of more than twenty thousand miles of rail- road in this country. From unprofitable properties he has made them dividend earners. and at the same time he has given better facilities and cheaper freight rates. lie mas operated them on DuSlHeSS pTln- ciples
 His consolidation of the great steel and iron interests of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois will result in more stable prices, and 1t would seem will prove of benefit for both the investor and laboring man.
 The syndicate, at the head of which stands J. P. Morgan, represents several times more capital than the entire bonded debt of the United States.
 It Is probably only a matter of time when the great iron and steel concerns of the Birmingham district will come under the control of this great organizer.
 The noble women of Birmingham are suc- ceeding well in their labors to raise the fund necessary to build the proposed Hill- man Hospital. Already through their re- cent efforts they have accumulated some 5000, which they now have on hand. This fund should be increased to $50.000 right here in Birmingham With an active can vass on the part of full committee of ladies this probably can be done. It always seems easy to raise money for State fairs and Mardi Gras and other like celebrations. Why should not the same people give, and give literally, to the proposed charity hos- pital?

OIL fa,ss the
Children

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
we are so careful in making il
pleasant to take.
