Troubles of the Newsbov.

Il have frequently seen people take
proffered paper from newsboy when he
cries out the news Of some unusual hap
pening glance over the headlines, get
the gist of the story. and return the
paper with some excuse for not purchas-
ing, and pass on much to the discontinue
of the vendor of news" said a gentleman
last evening. Now this appears to me
to be very unfair advantage taken of
the little urchins. Selling newspapers is
their legitimate business, and I cannot
discern a great difference between the
man who engages the proprietor of the
corner stand while he helps himself to
the choicest fruit. and he who deliberately
takes the paper In hand and scans the
outlines of the leading stories and returns
1t without ever having entertained an
idea of purchasing the paper He has
certainly appropriated the boys stock in
trade 1t is true the paper has lost no
value IN the eyes of a prospective buyer,
but he has acquired the news surrep-
titiously, and without paying for it. And
the boy is selling news-not merely
bundle of paper"

GaIveston,s Sea Wall.

At a cost of $4,000 all raised on
bonds in Galveston, that city has built
a sea wall sixteen feet wide at the bot
tom, five feet wide at the~top, rising
seventeen feet above mean tide. This
wall is three and one-quarter miles
long, extending around the eastern
and gulf sides Of the city, and it stands
today complete, and the plucky city
stands today secure against the like
of any tidal wave that history men,
tions. Something bigger must be ac-
cumulated in the gulf If the Texan
port is to be harmed hereafter.
But the seawall is not all. The city
itself is to be raised to the top of the
seawall at a cost of $2,135, 900. The
state has RENTED Galveston taxes for
seventeen years in order to provide a
sinking fund and interest for the Sec
ond bond issue. The bonds have been
placed, and the work of raising the
city, block by block, has been begun.
The huge task will be completed in
three years. The houses in many
blocks have been raised, and the fill
ing is proceeding rapidly. The con-
tracing firm takes the sand needed
from the channel of the port, and 1t Is
then piped to the blocks that are being
raised. 1t is marvellous task, and its
execution is due to the pluck and
energy and enterprise of a people who
refused to surrender to the sea. The
new Galveston of three years hence
will recall the storm of 1901 without
shudder.

A WARRANTS EPITAPH.

By Theodore Roberts.
Change was his mistress Chance hh
counselor.
Love could not keep him. Duty forged
no chain.
The wide seas and the mountains called
to him,
And gray dawns saw his campfires in the
rain.
Sweet hands might tremble-ay, but hi
must go.
Revel must hold him for little space.
But turning. past the laughter and the
lamps,
His eyes must ever catch the Turing face.
Dear eyes might question!-yea. and melt
again.
Rare lips, a-qu.ver, silently implore.
But ever he INT st turn his furtlye head
And hear the other summons at the door.
Change was his mistress. Chance his
counselor
rhe dark frs knew his whistle up the
trail.
Why tarrles he today? And yesternight
Adventures lit her stars without avail

Pollteness in Elevator Car.

Whether or not 1t Is a rule Of modern
roltteness for gentlemen to remove their
bats on elevator cars where ladies are
present may be questionable, said a
business man yesterday, but surely there
can be no imp opriety In the act II one
feels SO inclined to do. l observed case
today which appeared to be similar to
the 'strainlng at a gnat and swallowing
a camel idea A well-dressed young man
entered an elevator car smoking a
cigarette. A lady was among the up-going
passengers. The young man gently re-
moved his straw exhibiting a we'll
dressed Uranium parted In the middle and
believed with sweet-scented oleum, but
continued to puff away at his lighted
cigarette, filing the car with that aroma
so unpleasant not only to ladies but
to many of the sterner sex, who were
there and bore witness to the extraor-
binary feat of politeness."

The ST. Louis EXPOSITION.

DR.. w. II. Wilder and family returned
last evening from a visit to the st.
Louis fair, where they remained for three
weeks, enjoying the sights. Asked as to
the exposition, DIR. Wilder said: TT is
abe finest show ever exhibited to the
American people, and Birmingham is high
on the list. Vulcan is most attractive
feature and every visitor looks upon
nd talks about him. 1t is a mistake to
suppose that gouging process is going
on at the exposition. Rates of board and
of sightseeing are very reasonable, and
every cautious man gets moneys worth
7 do wish every Alabamian could see
the st. Louis exposition, for 1 am sure
II is the best educational institution ever
presented to the public"

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Mr.. Darby Makes Suggestion as to the
Best Site.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
A movement has been started by the
Confederate veterans and the Daughters
and Sons of the Confederacy to erect
Confederate monument in Birmingham.
The site chosen for this monument is
Capitol parlxS where the Vulcan statue will
be placed after it is brought back from
st. Louis. While the plan is one that
by all means should be carried out l would
suggest that the monument be erected at
Five Points instead of Capitol park. 1t Is
be almost too large for the size of the
park and there will certainly not be room
enough for another statue 1t would be
completely oyershadowed.
Now Five Points and the adjacent neigh
borhood is the most beautiful residence
district of Birmingham a section that is
visited by nearly all strangers who wish
to see the town and here the Confederate
monument would be viewed by almost as
many people as it would be if erected In
the park Let Vulcan on the north side of
the town stand for our commercial pro-
gress and the Confederate monument on
the south side represent our sentiment and
memories of the past.
If the monument is erected at Five
Points | think no more appropriate name
could be given the spot than the Con-
| federate Circle. When the Daughters and
Sons and monument committee from Camp
Hardee take this matter up in the fall
| hope that they will discuss the propriety
of my suggestion. j. LAWLER DARBY.

Thirty-flve Feet on the Bar.

There is 81 feet of water on the
outer bar of Mobile bay, and move
ment has been started to secure 80
feet, thus making Mobile deep-water
port to which the largest vessels can
enter and from which they can depart
fully loaded. II an adequate appro.
priation from the session of congress
that meets in December can be Sc
cured, 35-foot channel can be
dredged out before the winter of 1906
Is ended.
This is a subject that concerns this
district as much as it does Mobile
Itself. All Alabama should speak and
act as one man IN asking for a S5-foot
channel to the sea. We want but one
channel, but we want that chanel as
deep and free from distractions as
any other channel along the gulf or
the Atlantic ocean.
The issue should take on state pro
portions. 1t is not a Mobile issue OF
request-it is Alabama's sole deep
water issue and most earnest request
Let it be givenSa state aspect.

Greater Birmingham.

Commenting upon the proposed car line
extensions. man largely interested in
the Birmingham district remarked:
Street railway extension means city
expansion. Just watch the growth of the
Greater Birmingham idea under the i'm
petus of the extension Of lines to be
made by the Birmingham Railway, Light
and Power Company. Birmingham is
ever to be a roomy city. She is not to
be restricted or pent up by present munic-
ipal lines nor checked In her onward
march IN any wise. To her three or four
sky-scrapng buildings more will be added;
there is TO be a school desk for every
child. a church pew for every worshiper.
The genius of expansion dwelleth with
us, and 1t will have sway"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-08-04

the President Secondly, the choice
of the psople in naming postofice is
no longer controlling. These two posi-
tons recall court ciiques and in a gen.
eral way the empire
A name selected by the people was
perhaps never before rejected by the
President and postmaster general be-
cause of personal dislikes, and new
precedent has been set. As thirty three
offices have been named in honor of
the President, 1t seems as if he might
let a little one be established bearing
the name of an opponent and hated
rival. In Alabama offices bearing the
names Roosevelt" Theodore, +"
"Theo" and Teddy" have been estab-
lished, and other states have done
likewise. Under such circumstances
1t seems singular that the President
should object to one little office bear
ing the name of Mississippi's governor,
especially after the people to be served
by the office had selected the name.
But there is no accounting for tastes
or the dictation of the present admin
istration.

The Two chaIrmen.

From the Florida Union.
A comparison to the disadvantage OF
Democracy is being made between the
chairmen of the two national committees.
It is true that Taggart began life as the
dispenser of railroad sandwiches, but why
is that more to his discredit than was
the manufacture of rails to Lincoln?
1t is true that Cortelyou has always worn
a white shirt and led scholarly life,
but he has been the pet of three Presi-
dents and the recipient of salary ever
since his boyhood. Does this specially
mark his independence, his originality or
his strength? If there can be any re-
proach to Taggart because of his career
as a practical politician and ward boss
may we ask why Democrats should be
more ashamed of him than Republicans
were of Mark Hanna, who may have been
a bigger man than Taggart has yet
proved himself, but was certainly politI-
cal boss of the same order and kind.

That vardaman Incident.

A little town in Calhoun county, Mis-
sissippi desired postofiice, and in ac-
cordance with usage it slected name
for the new offlce-"Vardaman." The
postoffice department investigated the
application, and decided to grant it,
but the Office is to be called Timber
VILE" instead of "Vardaman."
Postmaster General Payne has is
sued a statement in which he says Gov
ernor vardaman, while editing a
county newspaper, wrote an objection
able article. THE article in question:"
says the postmaster general, was so
vile and indecent in its statements
concerning the mother of the Presi-
dent of the United States as to be
unfit for reproduction" The little
postoffice in Calhoun county is there
fore to be called Timberville.
Two things appear in this ridiculous
ado about nothing. First, it appears
that the names of new postoffices are
to be adjusted to the personality of

Judge Parker's Timely Assurance.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The statement made that Judge Par
ker, In setting forth his political principles
and opinions In response to the official
visit of the committee that It is to inform
him of his nomination to the democratic
candidacy for President, will express him.
self with entire distinctiveness in opposi-
ton to federal interference by executive
or legislative action with the electoral
franchises in states south of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers, is-wlthout doubt au-
thoritative.
1t Is a deliverance of the very great
est Importance. because 1t offsets the
threats of such interference made in the
republican national platform, and it gives
assurance that under a democratic chief
magistrate there will be no indictments
to sectional warfare and to race con-
flicts.
The damage that has been done to do
nestle peace, the hideous crimes that
have been committed .gainst white wom-
en- and the increasing dangers of race
wars In the different states of the union,
growing out of the remarkable and un-
warranted behavior of the President in
encouraging the social aspirations OF the
negroes, are vast and widespread already
and they. give warning of what is TO be
expected should Mr. Roosevelt be en-
couraged to a continuation of his most
pernicious policy by a reelection
The country needs above all the relief
from race agitation that the election OF
Judge Parker would give 1t.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

From the Nashville Banner.
President Roosevelt, in his letter of &C.
oeptahce, undertook to felicltate the re-
publican party on the ratification Of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. Considering the
exercise of executive strenuosity that was
required to brlng the republicans in con-
gress TO the point of agreeing to the
treaty and of the grumbling criticism that
it still exeites in large portion of the
republican press, 1t was not a matter
of which the party at large desired that
its candidate should remind them.
Then, too, II Cuban reciprocity is such
good thing the conclusion would neces-
sarily follow that the liberal tariff policy
proposed by the democrats is better than
the Intangible stand pat lolicy Of the
republicans. 1t is Inconsistent to argue
that the country is benefited by recipio-
cal trade relations with Cuba by a low
ering of the tariff wall in both countries
and then to proclaim the beauties of a
tariff war with the rest of the world.
