Convention of the Epworth League.

An international convention of the Epworth league has never been held in this section, and it seems to be our due to secure against Columbus, Ohio, the eighth convention. The league is largely an organization consisting Of young Methodists. It now has 105O,- 900 members, and in the convention that met last week in Denver sat 2O,- 900 delegates and visitors. The con- vention is so large it sits in sections in the largest auditoriums that city holds The league has by no means attained to it's full size. Every year records an increase in membership, and the vigor of it's work remains un- impaired. It is really an outgrowth of the institutional church, or rather of the institutional spirit which exists in all churches.
 A serous effort should be made to attract this way the representatives of this array of young folks, and the fact that an international convention of the league has never been held in this sec tion should give us a leverage over Cleveland, Ohio, located in @ section that has berafofOre hppn fraalv flaw ored. The subject has been com mitted to the executive committee which will take perhaps six months in which to make a selection. There is plenty of time, but action on the part of Birmingham should not be toe long deferred. The eighth conven tion meets in the summer of 1907.

A Wise Suggestion.

'I notice today a neat and attrac'i'~ booklet published by the Monroe Prosres- sive League of Monroe, La, setting iorth the advantages that the thriving metropo- lie of north Louisiana offers to the capi- talist the home-seeker and all investors said a man at the Morris last night.
 .srhe book. which was compiled by N. ohlander of Birmingham. affords interest," ing and instructive reading matter ana will no doubt succeed in bringing the at tentlon of investors to the little city whose ylrginity the book states, needs only the hand of progress to shower manifold re- turns Pictures of the principal thorough fares of the town, photographs of the many beautiful buildings and of interest," ing manufacturing plants are puphsheo with entertaining description of them.
 Tt seems to me that this would be good idea. for the Commercial club or some similar institution to adopt for Birming- ham. for if the wonderful resources and advantages of this city in the way Of cli- mate, agriculture and mineral wealth were set out in an attractive form. and distributed broadcast through the coun- try, it would be the medium of induc- ing great deal of capital to Birming- ham"

Coolies of All Sorts.

Intelligent Chinamen who simply de- sire to travel and to study in this country, are very naturally incensed over their treatment here. The Pres ident intends to stop such coarse grained work, and Chinamen of wealth and education will no doubt be en- abled to travel freely hereafter.
 But the Chinese coolies cannot see why the Japanese coolies are free to come here, while they are not allowed to come at all. The drawing of the line cannot be explained to them, and in very truth it cannot be satisfactori- ly explained to anybody. There is no essential difference between Chinese coolie and Japanese coolie. Few in this country can distinguish the one from the other, and yet the fruit grow CTS of southern California and the rice growers of Texas and Louisiana are promoting an influx of Japanese coolies.
 This country is big and it should be just. It should negotiate a treaty with China covering Chinese immi- grafton. Whatever China agrees to she will stand by. The trouble is we have gone ahead in utter disregard of Chinese sensibilities or Chinese pride. There Is no occasion for this, and China is beginning to resent the respect we pay to Japan and the dis respect we hand out to her. Her re- sentiment may yet cost us tens of mil lions of dollars in trade. But it is not too late to perfect a treaty that will neither admit a flood of Chinese cool les nor wound the pride of vast population.

Our New Poreiun Minister.

MT. Root is to be John Hays sue cessor, but he will not fill his shoes, although the New York lawyer is a man of capacity and cleverness. Per haps his chief failing will consist in a want of frankness towards the peo- pie; MT. Root understands the art Of concealment, and practices 1t. The art has become to him habit. He will never deal with the people frankly, possibly not with Congress
 He is believed to be an imperial ist, but it is not yet known what view ho will take of the Dominican protocol, which the President seems determined to enforce regardless of the fact that the Senate has not ratified it. But doubtless all such points were talked over before the appointment was ten dered to MT. Root or at least before he had accepted it.
 The public interest turns more to- wards MT. Roots object in returning to public life. In this age of wealth he is not accounted rich man. He left the War Department to gather in fat retainers, and he has not yet earned them, for his prospective har vest is said to be rich beyond all pre- cedent. Why he throws away bis fees to accept an office that will ab sorb all of his time is a mystery. Il the President has given him mort gage on the succession, it may not be possible to render that mortgage eff cient. The bold, frank outspoker Taft stands in the way at least, anc he cannot be made chief justice. The present chief justice is in excellent health, and he is democrat. He vii not go on the retired list to carry out republican political scheme. Turr the matter as one will, it is impossi ble to see why MT. Root swaps chance to earn at least $1Q0000 veal to accept place that yields but $S0OO

CampaIan Aaainst the Weeyil.

The last Congress appropriated $19O,0O0 for the purpose of contesting the spread of the boil weevil, the money to be expended by the Secre- tary of Agriculture. MT. Wilson was given wide discretion in the use of the sum, and the work is to be carried on in part by the bureau of entomol- ogy and in part by the bureau of plant industry.
 Dr. Galloway is at the head of the latter. and he is exerting himself in inducing the farmers to adopt superior cultural methods. At the same time he is trying to breed types of cotton that will not succumb readily to the ravages of the boil weevil. The breeding work is to be done near Waco, Tex.
 Between new varieties of cotton suited to the crisis and improved cul- tural methods the department hopes to be able to minimize the waste ere ated by the insect The hope of pre- venting its spread over the cotton belt was long ago abandoned. The sum appropriated by Congress should produce some good results, and Dr.. Galloway is enthusiastic in prosecut- ing the various lines of work he has in hand.
 The bureau of entomology will do all it can to stay the flights of the winged pest, but it will work in the belief that all it's efforts in that di- rection will be overcome in the end. The hope exists, however. that in the latitude of Birmingham the weevil will not this year cross the Red river, and it will have to be busy next year to cover the territory that lies between the Red river and the Father of Wa ters

InocuIation Against Typhoid.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 The best way to protect an army
 against typhoid fever. that terrible ene-
 my which it must face in both peace
 and war. is doubtless by careful sanita- ton. But to apply that method success fuuv during the stress of war requires a yeritable genius for the saving or iife' which no nation. except the Japanese has ever vet shown. Another method, from which much is hoped. and which can pe applied in time of peace, so that US good results may be reaped later on in
 time of war. is by inoculation. Germany
 has recently had a commission, composed of some of the nations greatest medi- cal students, at work upon the subject and the findings have just been made public.
 Part of this report deals with the best
 methods of inoculation, and is therefore technical in character. but other parts
 have a wide interest. The commission IS
 convinced that inoculation can De car
 ried on with no risk to the health or the
 soldiers, On a survey of all experiments that have been made on animals ana men, and of all practical experience that has been gained, the commission says that Tit is impossible, even when proceeding with the greatest caution, to doubt that in- oculation can confer a certain measure of protection. and that it is urgently de- sirable to seek for further information based so far as is possible on absolutely trustworthy data, with regard to the
 degree and duration of the protection

 So are the songs which the wild birds

 Blessed be God. they are common. Common the grass in its glowing green; So is the waters glistening sheen: Common the springs of love and mirth;
 So are the holiest gifts of earth. Common the fragrance of rosy June: So Is the generous harvest moon. So are the towering mighty hills.
 So are the twittering, trickling rills. Common the beautiful tints of the fall: So is the sun which is over all: Common the rain with it's pattering
 feet;
 So is the bread which we daily eat--
 Blessed be God, 1t Is common. So is the sea in its wild unrest, Kissing forever the earths brown breast; So is the voice of undying prayer, Evermore piercing the ambient air. So unto all are the "promises' given. So unto all is the hope of heaven; Common the rest from the weary strife; So is the life which is after life-

 "It is perhaps one of the few big parks in the south where no music is furnlsneu on Sunday afternoons. For years the manag cement of the park arranged TOT hand concerts every Sunday afternoon at the resort, but such Is not the case this year. There is not even d sihai' orchestra on hand.
 q have often wondered, too, why the municipal authorities or some pupiic spirited citizens do not engage paho to give A. free concert in one of the pup lie parks of the city, say one or two nights during each week. Such sommer enter tainment would be enjoyed by thousands It has been tried successfully in Mem phis and other southern cities, and why not Birmingham?

Peace Without an Armistice.

Constitutional liberty in Russia might gain ground through another victory in Manchuria over the forces
 of a humble autocracy, but it may
 well be doubted whether Japan would. For another victory like unto that of Mukden would lead sraight on to rev olution in Russia, and Japan would not know with whom she would have to deal. As things stand the autocra- cy, harried almost to death at home, must accept whatever terms Japan may present. Would revolutionary successors of the Czar do as much ? Would there, in fact, in such a vast country be any one authorized very soon to consider the subject of peace?
 Japan has, however. as bright, alert
