GRIDIRON CONTEST
WILL BE WARM ONE
CLEMSON AND ALABAMA WILL
MEET IN BIRMINGHAM ToMOR-
RoW-BoTH TEAMS SAID TO BE
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The first football game of the season
comes off In Birmingham tomorrow.
when Clemson lines up against the Uni
versity of Alabama. The mountaineers
from South Carolina, coached by the ia
nous Heisman, expect to make a strong
race for the championship of the south
this year, and from all reports are in
the pink of condition.
While the sturdy sons Of Auburn, who
are again this season being coached by
Blount of Yale, are prepared to make
things warm at West End park tomor-
row.
While Alabama has been laboring un-
der difficulties the team has been coached
with the intention of reaching the top of
the list by the latter part of the season,
the boys are prepared to put up some
swift football. They have the advantage
of being little heavier than last sea-
son.
Clemson has for years been among the
big four of the south, and last year
they tied for the championship. BY de-
feating Auburn last season Alabama won
the state championship. So II is evident
that the sporting public will have a
chance to see one of the prettiest games
of the season at West End.
The manager of the Alabama team has
gone to great expense to bring Clemson
here and 1t is expected that a large
crowd will attend. The game will be
called at p. m.
Alabama's lineup will be as follows
Left end, Boyles.
Left tackle, Oates.
| Lett guard, Redden.
| Center, Gwin.
| Right guard, Sartain.
Right tackle. Butcher.
| Right end, Wilcox.
! Quarterback, Wyatt.

.PARKER'S TELEGRAM WAS
A SHAMELESS TRICK"
Florida Delegate Says He Could Not
Have Been Nominated Had Mes
sage Come Day Earlier.

MOBILE, July 1S.-John S. Beard. one
of Florida's delegates-at-large TO the St.
Louis convention, who has just returned
from there, is in this city Asked for his
opinion OF the conventions work, he
said:
Il am naturally not satisfied wiki
either candidate or platform. I think
that the nomination Of Judge Parker
was secured by fraud and deception
Had Judge Parker spoken before the
convention as he did after the nomina-
ton il is safe TO say that he would never
have received the nomination. The
money question was discussed before the
committee on platform for over fifty
hours Judge Parker was fully advised
of the differences and OF the result
through the press dispatches, II not by
his personal representatives, but ne was
silent as clam until the nomination
was made.
Had Judge Parker sent mis- telegram
to the committee, or even TO the conven-
ton, before the nomination, It would
have been as brave and as honest ii
course as that pursued by Mr. Bryan in
1900. But Judge Parker waited for hours
after he had been nominated and unit!
he and his friends felt that the action
OF the convention could not be undOne
before he declared his position on tho
money question II was a shameless
trick. l think. so far from being lauCia-
tory, that Eill and Parker cannot be
too strongly condemned for their trick
upon the currency question"

The ToothpiCk Order.

Major Sylvester's order to police
men to keep toothpicks out OF their
mouths when on duty seems TO have
created something OF a sensation here
and in New York. In the latter city,
indeed, it has started a toothpick ar
gument, those on one side insisting
that TO chew toothpicks in public is
the inherent right of every American
citizen; those on the other asserting
that the habit is unmannerly, IN
slightly, and unfit for publication.
The toothpick habit is one of those
tricks possessed by people who might
be supposed TO know what good man
ners are. There is really no more
finess in cleaning ones teeth in pub
lie with a splinter than IN brushing
them at a public fountain. while the
latter proceeding might at any rate
be the more sensible from the point
of view of cleanliness. The toothpicll
habit as a sign Of ones development
in civilization is of much the same
order as that other habit which COM
pels all American hotels and halls to
place cuspidors in conspicuous places.
But there is nothing that the aver
age American resents more quickly
than the intimation that he does not
understand good manners, and there
are a lot OF people who seem to feel
-insuIted by Major Sylvester's intima-
ton that one of their cherished per-
sonal habits is not good form. For
that matter, it is not so very long
since there were those VINO violently
asserted that no good American
would bow to a king or a nobleman
instead Of shaking hands, or address
such a dignitary By his title instead
of calling him plain Mister. Some
people fail to see that punctiliousness
in bad manners is what Lanier dub
bed dandy Upside-down."

Science and Birds.

After visiting the Carnegie Insti-
tute in Pittsburg and finding stored
there the skins of 10000 Pennsyl-
vania birds, all killed by agents OF
the institute. the Pennsylvania State
Board of Game Commissioners has
announced that hereafter il will not
authorize anybody to take birds for
scientific purposes
When it is known that the Acad-
envy of Natural Sciences in Philadel-
phia has only 5000 pathological
specimens. which have been gathered
from every State and Territory in
the United States and from Mexico.
the $4,000 collected by the Carnegie
Institute from a single State plainly
indicate that some one has been
slaughterinS overtime and with alto
gether too much zeal.
, While it may be well enough 10
have on exhibition a few specimens
OF every kind of bird for the techni-
cal education Of mankind, it should
be remembered that the real value
of the bird is the witness that it con-
sistently bears to ever present JOY and
harmony by its life free and fearless
in forest and meadow All the stuffed
birds in the world are not worth one
live bird singing happiness and
thanksgiving into some troubled hui
man heart.
However much one may respect a
scientists devotion to research, lie
still will question how much value
the scientist really is to the world if
he is without love for the creatures
which he studies for the sake OF
science. The real bird is not the
dead one in a glass case, but the live
one under the blue sky; and mankind
as whole wants only to know about
the real.
No, we don't think much of the
scientist who killed or permitted to
be killed those $1,000 birdie and we
haven't much expectation of any great
benefit accruing TO the world from
his study, unless he quickly learns
that life, not death, is the important
consideration.

4 Weilhty Discussion.

Some readers Of the New York
Times" who evidently take their liter
AZURE seriously, have been discussing
with the gravest kind of arguments
the respective merits Of THE Mem
cries of a Baby" and ''Bruvver Jim's
Baby" as baby books. The people
who like Josephine nO-Dodge Das-
kam's work think Mr. Miggles-or
rather Mighels-is hardly worth read
ing, and those on the other side con-
slider the creator OF "Binks" unseri-
Gus, irreverent, unfeminine, and, in
fact, pretty nearly blasphemous.
The epidemic Of baby books comes
around about as regularly as the cpl
demie of whoopingcough. We had
'Helen's Babies" some twenty-five
years ago, and most entertaining
youngsters they were. While it is to
be hoped that most American chill
dren are not quite as fertile in expe-
dients for mischief as were Bulge and
Toddie, it must be admitted that they
were more like real children than
Little Lord Fauntleroy, charming
as that small boy was in his velvet
suit and lace collar and pretty man
ners. Miss Daskam's Madness of
Philip" and George Madden Martins
Emmy Lou" introduced to the pub
lie two separate sets Of children not
a bit like any of their predecessors;
and these two latest baby books deal
with the world that circles round a
baby too small to talk.
But a book about a small child is
hardly a matter to be approached
with reverence and awed seriousness,
and we do hope the correspondents
who are so warmly discussing the
question will cool off and reflect that
K does not really matter much what
baby does-in a book. Even real
children are not always treated in
life with the serious consideration
and careful conscientiousness they
