The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-12-24

I had to send my family in summer to an expensive place. l had, in short, to live up to the office in a great many costly and unexpected particulars.
 T had no other income than my pub lie salary. I devoted all my attention to public duties. I had no chance to prac- tice law. There are plenty of other men who can and do make money in legiti- mate ways while they hold office. They can speculate. They see chances for bus mess dealings I haven't the tempera- ment nor the genius for such ways of adding to my pile.
 But you will observe that most of the elected officials of the city are already made men, They have arrived at a po- stion of pecuniary independence.
 Thereafter, for a long time, l shall be unable to be active in politics for shall have neither time nor money to de- vote to city affairs.
 sThere are three classes of public ser wants that uphold our ideals in this coun- try. The clergy represent our religious ideals, the teachers our educational ideals Both classes are poorly paid. Our public servants keep alive our civic ideals, and most of them do 1t nobly. but few of them can afford to do It on the salaries paid I am not complaining of anything. but I made an error in leaving law for politics as a poor man.
 Mir Littleton is one of a large number of southern men who have come to New York and fought their way to the front. He is a member of the well known Ten nessee family of Littletons. After prac- tieng law awhile in Texas he came to New York and began the struggle. He built up a good practice and demonstrat- ed that he could make a speech and then the politicians took him up. Men who are at home on the platform are scarce in New York and the fact that most south ern men know how to talk helps them along.
