Hss HsSe !e s'. Greater Birmingham
BY N. F. THOMPSON.

exist today I cannot say, but I do say that If Birmingham was placed by the railroads and the furnaces on a proper soon lead the world in the producing of the finished materials from iron or steel. Then we would indeed have a Greater Birmingham, and sky scrapers would be a necessity on every corner throughout the business portion of the city
 l once suggested to the president of the old Elyton Land company the propriety of that company building a furnace that would be operated entirely In the interest of Birmingham, so that enterprises com ing here could be guaranteed the benefit of the location, and if that had been done 1t is my humble opinion that Birmingham would never have ceased to "boom," or rather that its growth would have been continuous and healthy-and no one would have lost money here from real estate depreciation. It seems to me that it would be the part of wisdom now to in- augurate a campaign of industrial build ing. until not a pound of pig iron made in Birmingham should go into the mar kets of the world save in its finished state. If the south will manufacture her iron and cotton at home. compensation will soon be hers for all she lost when robbed of her old source of wealth. l am just so loyal to the memories of that period as to hope for that kind of recom- pense to her people, and in the eternal fitness of things it may eventually be theirs.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-04-05

All interests and all classes in Birming- ham will be benefited in making Bir- mingham realize the fullest measure of her possibilities. This can be accom- plished in one field and in one only. It will not come through the building of sky scrapers, or more blast furnaces alone, but it lies through the locating or estab- fishing of more industries that will use the raw materials produced here. This is being done elsewhere to the enrichment of other communities and our prospective impoverishment.
 Let me give only one illustration of my meaning: During my residence in Penn sylvania, I had occasion to visit and in- spect a large stove manufacturing con- cern whose products are sold all over the country This plant covers nearly len acres of ground and employs some 1900 people The manager of this plant told me that 90 per cent. of his pig iron was obtained from the Birmingham furnaces, and yet nearly every stove dealer in Bir- mingham is handling the products of this one firm. This establishment is located nearly a thousand miles from Birmlng- ham, and gets it's coke from the Councils vile district of Pennsylvania, from which 1t Is distant over three hundred miles. Is there any reason why a stove factory here could not save at least one way, freight on its products over this concern? As a matter of fact the finished product should be able to follow the raw product into nearly all markets, and if this were done only in small degree Birmingham would not long remain second to Pittsburg in anything; and I am just so much in love with Birmingham as to wish to live long enough to see that relationship between the two cities brought about
 Perhaps the fault in not having more industries that will use up the raw mater ials here, lies in our own hands, or rather in the hands of our iron producers. Some years ago 1 had occasion to examine into the condition that permitted boiler man. ufacturer in St. Louis to sell his products to Annston in competition with a local manufacturer, when the St. Louis man bought his pig iron right here in Birming- ham, paid the freight to St. Louis and back to Anniston. and then sold cheaper than our home man said he could afford to do it. I found two causes that then aided in that anomalous condition One was that our furnaces did not give local enterprises the benefit of the location, but charged local concerns a higher rate than they were selling to these same par ties who sold in competition with the home people. The other cause was the railroads gave the raw product out of Birmingham such rate that the outside party could return 1t in successful com petition with the home manufacturer

we'll She says: t'Republicansm is, in it's entire nature and construction. mas euline monopoly. and must necessarily confer all it's pinnacles, authorities. pow CTS. honors, glories, favors, distinctions, exclusively upon men. It is woman's implacable foe - between it and her an irreconeilable conflict exists and the two can have no other issue than a mortal duel A monarchy on the contrary has no heights-which woman has not ascend ed-she Is empress and queen-no barriers she cannot surmount. no forces hostile to her which she cannot conquer. An ars- tocracy Is natures realm; natures arena for woman-kind; and her highest destiny can only be reached therein" All this sounds very nice, but who would forego all the privileges independence and free dom of life in this country for the solitary opportunity that may come to one woman to be queen? When the author discusses the fundamental principles of no taxation without representation, of course she strikes a vulnerable spot in our theory of government. But somehow. neverthe- less, the tax paying women of this coun- try manage very well even without rep resentation. Under the Political status of women the author quotes the state constitutions on the subject which, while IL must De aDsOlulely appalling to the mind of the woman who wishes to vote. is at the same time 1udicrous.
 "In Alabama all citizens have votes or right to self government except persons convicted of the crimes of treason, idiots, lunatlcs and women; and so on through the list of states. It is indeed an appal- ling experience for woman, no doubt to find herself catalogued in this manner in her states constitution, and if you read this clause from each state at one time well, it's pathetic, but it is ludicrods as we'll"
 There Is an appendix which gives a vast deal of information and sometimes it really seems as if the women of Russia had more rights than the women in America. However. I am quite sure Am eriean women would not exchange places The volume is not a lengthy one and is extremely well written, with forceful ar guments which, as I said are impossible to refute when we lay aside the chivalry and courtesy of the men as individuals and the sentiment and influence of the women. Mrs. Woolsey recognizes none of these things. What she demands is the same fundamental civic rights and priv ileges for the women that the men now alone enjoy. It would be genuine fun to hear what Max ORell would say in re- ply to Republics vs. Woman" and I think it would be profitable too.

BOOKS.

veronica; by Martha W. Austin. Dou-
 bleday & Co.,. publishers.
 Books are like people and should not be judged too quickly or upon too slight or superficial an acquaintance. Often times the character in life that promises the least upon first acquaintance proves later the strongest qualities of friendship. In the same way sometimes a book that gives little promise through the first third, possibly of its pages, will gradually de- velop into the choicest story. l fear the satiety of books of adventure and incl dent spells us somewhat as thoughtful readers and makes us prone to cavil sometimes, If the opening pages of a story do not promise the expected stim- ulus.
 And for this reason. after one has read Veronica" a story bearing the impress of 1903, one feels It necessary to reread the opening pages in the new light of knowledge of those that followed. For, the adolescent devotion of the hero and heroine assumes a different aspect as the full import of the story is grasped.
 Veronica" by Martha w. Austin, may be said to belong to the analytical style of novel, but not in the objectionaNle sense in which we generally understand the term. It is simply the gentle, true, analysis of one womans heart and life. The sweetness and bitterness peculiarly blended in her great absorbing love dur ing the period of adolescence and its con- sequent effect upon her very soul.
 In the beginning Veronica was possessed by high ideals and her trusting nature gave all unreservedly In hls expressing devotion. Of her love it is said: "She liked to picture him riding, as he had told her he often did, down the heart of the woods, with the moonlight sitting through the trees-a world of silence ana dreams and dim white magic, as in her copy of Tennyson, Galahad rode through the moonlit forest aisles. And to her eyes the figure of Haven was scarcely less knightly. For her he was clothed in the armor of chivalry, the samite of TO- nance. And indeed he might be, for youth is always upon quest, lance in rest, riding through a land full of castles in the air with an ideal in his head and woman

Nothing Personal.

From Spare Moments.
 A gentleman having an estate in the highlands, as he was going abroad for some time, advertised the shootings to let, and told his gamekeeper. Donald, who was to show the ground, to give it good character to anyone who called to see it.
 An Englishman came down, and inquir- ing of Donald as to how 1t was stocked with game, first asked if it had any deer. Donald's reply was:
 "Thoosands of them"
 Any grouse?'
 "Thoosands of them, too"
 Any partridges?''
 "Thoosands of them, too."
 Amy woodcock?''
 'Thoosands of them. too"
 The Englishman, thinking Donald was drawing the long bow, asked if there were any gorillas. Donald drew himself up. "Weel, they are no so plentiful; they 1ist come occasionally, moo and agin like yourself"
