Cheap Fuel and Glass.

F, Chairman Nelson of the manufac-
turers committee Of the Commercial
club names many industries needed
here, and he does not name one that
is not needed. But out of all our needs
in that direction shines glass factory
conspicuously, and no one can see why
manufacturers of glassware have not
sought this locality.
We have two things essential to the
successful conduct of glass factories,
namely, cheap fuel and glass sand in
abundance, and Of high quality. II
supplies of raw materials will not at
tract manufacturers, what will? In
addition, we offer a southern market
and a gulf trade that is almost I'M
bounded even without Panama canal.
If outside capitalists and manufac-
turers cannot be induced to come here,
home capital should take hold Of this
matter. A glass factory should be es-
tablished here this year in any event.
AS Mr.. Nelson proposes it is well to
give outside men one more chance to
come in, but ifsthey do not come, then
we should take hold of the matter our
selves. There is money in IT, and
where dividends can be foreseen CAPT.
tai will not be lacking. Further neg
lect of our glass sands should not be
permitted, no matter how many glass
trusts there are or may be. Pitts
burg's Lold upon the glass industry
should be faced boldly.

DELEGATES for Roosevelt.

Twenty-eight delegates to the repub-
lican national convention have been
selected in congressional districts in
Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Kansas and
Illinois, and twenty-six Of the number
are instructed for Mr.. Roosevelt, and
two Georgia delegates will go to Chi
cago free to support any one. The
two will go, in other words, without
instructions. During the present month
ten district conventions will be held,
and in Louisiana and South Carolina
state conventions will select delegates.
In March conventions will be assem-
bled In Virginia, Kansas, Indian Terri
tory, Missouri and Mississippi, and in
April and May political events Of that
nature will come on fast and furious.
But there is no real contest. Mr.
Roosevelt has the pie brigade well
trained and drilled, and his nomination
for a full term is as we'll assured as
any political event in June can well
be. So far as the vice-presidency is
concerned, there is no we'll defined
contest. There never is. The vice
presidential nomination is given to
whoever can help the most the head
of the ticket.
Events have added to the proverbial
Roosevelt luck. Mr.. Hanna's candidacy
for senator first stayed his hand, and
his present Illness has continued his
inactivity as presidential factor. 1t
is scarcely possible that he will be-
come an aspirant in the race at Chi
cago, and there is really nothing in
the present situation that threatens
Mr.. Rooseyelt's aspirations for full
term, so far as party nomination
goes. The election in November is n
horse of another color.

FUSS AND FEATHERS.
In Washington During the Present
Military Administration.

From the New York World.
Some complaint is heard in Washington
because troops fresh from the sub-tropic
Philippines were forced to sit their horses
for an hour in February pneumonia
blast while waiting to escort Private
Citizen Root to his train.
Such criticisms miss the point. Mr..
Root was not simply a man coming TO
this city to open law office. 1t was in
his capacity as former assistant war
lord OF mighty empire that he was en-
titled to the gold lace and to the sabers
that clanked as their wearers shivered.
A frequent display of the pomp and pride
of war inspires In the young a generous
emulation of glory won by killing inof-
fensive little brown men and gives them
a distaste for merely earning an honest
living. What matters 1t II in emphasiz-
ing to the visual sense our new militar-
ism a few men. mere privates, food for
powder so succumb? There are plenty
more.
or course no such display was ever
made when George Bancroft, secretary of
the navy. Of Z. S. Grant or w. T. Sher-
man. secretaries Of war, had to catch
train. But times have changed. Even
the meek and humble foreign diplomats.
it is said, will now expect escorts when
they call in state on the President.

thing better than the froth and foam
which crowd the modern stage, we
will get nothing that calls for imigina-
ton, OF thought, or study of character,
or anything else that is uplifting and
inspiring. The hutter of the plays
that the public affects at present are
indictiye of the social condition of the
people-a condition that calls for yei-
low journalism, historical novels and
ragtime music. The stage cannot be
changed by even Mr. Winters raillery,
effective and telling though 1t be, and
largely truthful, but 1t must wait upon
the intellectual and social conditions
of the American people, and when
these are changed we will have bet
ter stage. In the meanwhile we must
accept the frivolous, or else go stage
hungry, and it is difficult to say which
is the better choice.

Fire Escapes.

Il am glad to see an Alabama city, es-
pecially Birmingham, which always takes
a lead In your state, take the initiative
over here, In the matter of fire escapes. >
said a Mississippian last night. But
while Mississippi is generally considered
behind the times in some matters, we are
much ahead of you in many things. For
Instance, your fire chief and many Of
your people seem now to be interested In
the spiral fire escape, ana speak OF 1t as
something new. In truth the escape has
been In use at our Girls Industrial school
at Columbus for some years and 1t is n
splendid success. President Kincannon has
the handsomest school buildings in
the south, except. perhaps, "Toulaine'
and Vanderbilt" most modernly
equipped. He has about 900 girls under his
charge; and the dormitory has this very
modern fire escape to which reference
has been made. recently in Birmingham
Chief Mullin and your fire COMMITTEES
should come over to Columbus and take
safe slide on the fire escape at the
girls school. 1t is a success-safe, reliable
and affords a most pleasant sensation to
those who have the temerity to test it in
a practical way

ton with the traditional" friendship
between Russia. and the United States
was interpreted to mean that Russia
would aid the United States If France
and England should decide to aiG the
Confederate States, and the two coun-
tries lying on the English channel de-
fer recognition, and It never came, and
the isolated government fell.
- These facts have never been dis
puted, nor can the second chapter of
the story be successfully questioned.
When the civil war was ended Russia
needed money-she always does-and
she asked reimbursement. Secretary
Seward gave her $7,20O,000, taking
over as an excuse for the payment of
the sum Alaska, then considered
worthless, absolutely worthless. Like
Thomas Jefferson in the Louisiana
purchase, Mr. Seward bought better
than he knew, but when the purchase
was made Alaska was considered an
incumbrance rather than a valuable
asset
The purchase Of Alaska squared the
account; the Confederacy had been
outwtted by its wiley adversary, and
a big sum was thrown into the hol-
low Russian treasury All this is real
ly history, although the motive of the
Alaska business has never been adj
mitted, and probably never will be,
That motive is not, however, doubted
or denied by those who have studied
the subject.

Alaska and the Confederacy.

Col James r. Randall's admiration
for and devotion to Russia is under the
circumstances singularly altruistic,
for Colonel Randall knows full well
that Russia dealt the Confederacy
blow in the solar plexus at a most crit
ical moment. When England, led by
Premier Gladstone, and France, full of
Napoleonic ideas in relation to Mex
leo, were on the point of recognizing
the Confederacy, thus opening to the
south the resources Of the world and
removing the isolation that was more
harmful than armed men, the federal
diplomats induced Russia to send sew
eral warships to New York, and in
that harbor those ships dropped an
chors, and there they remained until
the danger point had been passed. The
arrival of those warships in conjunc-

InsurInu Women's Lives.

The Montreal Chronicle discusses
at length the insuring of women-s
lives. In former days few women were
insured Few desired to be insured.
In those days women were not wage
earners. They we're not se1f-support-
ing, and they had none of the respon-
sibilities of the breadwinner in the
family. This condition is greatly
changed today, and all towns are full
of women workers, and the spirit of
the new movement extends to the re-
hottest hamlets. An ambition to be in
dependent and self-supporting, and to
enjoy some at least of the fine things
of this life induces a host of women
to seek employment, or to enter into
business avocations, and this tendency
will be increased in the future rather
than decreased.
Insurance companies see the situa-
ton, and they are preparing to con-
form to it. They see that there will
soon be many applications from wo-
men for policies, and that rates will
have to be extended to young women
employed in gainful occupations. Such
risks are not quite so desirable as
risks upon mems lives, but the differ
ence is not great enough to justify
company in demanding extra pre-
miums from young women.
The writer in the Montreal Chroni-
Gle advises young women to put their
surplus earnings in savings banks, but
If sufficient self-restraint be lacking.
then he advises a resort to the endow-
ment policies running through a term
Of years. When the policy natures a
change to- an annuity plan could read
lily pc negotiated, anu this, says the
Chronicle writer, would be better suit
ed to the average woman than
straight life policy.
The subject is receiving no little at
tention among actuaries, and no doubt
it will soon be worked out on a salts
factory basis. All that can be said now
Is that many women will soon want
life insurance In some form, whereas

Masonic Temple.

Some time ago the Scottish Rite Ma
sons talked about buying or erecting a
building and fitting 1t up as a cathedral,
but since the Masonic Tempe association
announced its purpose to erect a large
building the cathedral idea was aban-
doned,' said a prominent Scottish Rite
man who is also director in the temple
association.
The Masons of Birmingham will put
up handsome structure and 1t will be
large enough to furnish ample quarters
for all the bodies. including the Lodge of
Perfection, the Chapter of Rose Croix
the Council of Kodosh and the consistory
With ell branches of Masonry quartered

association should find no difficulty in
maintaining the temple In the very large
cities the Scottish Rite bodies have their
own building, but the plan would not be
feasible in Birmingham.

Chair Cars.

People in Savannah are raising a pro-
test because the Central of Georgia rail-
road is contemplating the removal of its
chair car which has been running be-
tween Macon and Savannah said a
drummer. For several years this parlor
car has been a great convenience to peo-
pie travelling between the two cities, dis
lance of about 200 miles, and there is gen.
eral regret expressed at the proposed
change, which will cause serious discom-
fort to women and children travelling
alone, since the parlor car was always a
protection to them.
Trains in this part of the country are
not over-suppied with chair cars at best.
and 1t is to be hoped that these pleasant
vehicles of travel will not be still further
reduced in number. There are many peo-
pie who would as soon occupy a comfort
able seat In hrst-class chair car as
compartment in a sleeper, and the ques-
ton of cheapness Is very important
one. Chair cars are operated on nearly
all local and through trains in the west
and southwest. They certainly increase
the pleasure of long trip for those who

The Savannah chamber of commerce
has called attention to the matter and 1t

sent to the officials of the Central of
Georgia asking that they do not discon-
tinue their, chair car on the run from

/, Low Estate Of the STAGE.

William Winter of the New York
Tribune has a wonderful command of
invective, and he does not hesitate to
pour 1t out against the stage as it ex-
lists at present. In recent article he
said in conclusion:
There has not been time in fifty years
it has reached today-when the impulse Is
vanity, the motive is greed, the method Is
sordid engrossment, the aim is exclusive
ly business" and the result is a barren
traffic and an arid waste. Voices, in
deed. are family crying in the wilderness
to signify that somebody beneath the I'M
derbrush wants to elevate the Drama"
but these, In every case, art found to be
the voices of visionary zanies, like the
sentimental w. B. Yeats, whose actual
purpose is only to elevate themselves.
Some do not agree with Mr.. Winter
when he talks about the veterans who
totter and mumble;" "the supers Of
yesterday who are stars of today"
"the three-cornered girls who rasp the
welkin with voices that rival the
screech of the peacock" or the dram
atists who manifest the brain of the
rabbit and the dignity of the wet hen"
But however much Mr. Winter exag.
gerates the situation in the fluency of
his rhetoric, yet it is conceded by all
intelligent observers that his criti-
cisms rest largely ON the truth. The
stage is simply in deplorable condi-
ton.
And yet neither actors nor managers
are to be chiefly blamed. The demand
is for something snowy, novel and
trivial. The supply simply complies
with the demand. 1t is the old law Of
trade applied to art, and the old law
is as effective in the one instance as
in the other. What the patrons OF the
theatre want they are sure to get, and
the blame should not be laid at the
doors of actors and managers. 1t rests
where it belongs, upon the man who
buys tickets at he box office.
