How to Keep the City Clean.

No seayenger service can keep a
city in good condition, causing it to
present at all times a tidy. wholesome
appearance, unless every citizen CO.
operates with that service. Every
citizen and householder must do his
part If the city is to be free from rub
bish at all times. Nothing in other
words is to be thrown into the streets
and alleys. They are not proper re-
ceptacles for waste and refuse. They
were not provided for that purpose
The last place in the world in which
to exhibit ones rubbish is street or
aney. and the sooner the householders
of this town understand that fact and
act upon 1t the sooner we will have
an attractive city.
This question reaches to the public
health, for In some portions of the city
householders do not hesitate to throw
all sorts of refuse into the streets or
alleys. This will never do. 1t should
not be permitted, and an infringement
of that sort should be properly pun
ished. No possible scavenger service
can keep the city clean when house
holders do not respect the streets and
alleys. The police should enforce re-
spect for the avenues provided for
transit purposes, and not for refuse
purposes.
1t is an easy matter to have a clean
city when all cooperate to that end.
1t is well-nigh impossible when they
do not. The Age-Herald appeals to it's
readers to assist in keeping the city
clean by storing all refuse out of sight
until the scavenger wagons come to
remove it.

The Music teachers.

1.-THE State Music Teachers association
that holds its annual convention in Tus-
caloosa next Friday and Saturday will
bring together nearly all of the profess
sional pianlsts and vocalists of Alabama,
and three concert programmes of high
artistic value will be rendered. said a
well known instructor.
This assoeniation was organized in Bir-
mlngham a year ago, and its principal
object is the advancement of musical
pedagogy. Music is one of the greatest
of the arts. 1t is both an art and a
science As a famous musician remarked
recently, no art involves so much that
is at once Intellectual and poetic as
music. And yet no department of edu-
cation is handicapped by so many char
latans. The thoroughly trained, con-
scientious musical instructors in this
country are more numerous now than
was the case ten years ago, but the poor
ly equipped teachers have likewise in
creased In number The object of the
National Music Teachers association is
doing great work in raising the pro-
fession of teaching to a high level and
in making 1t difficult for the charlatans
to succeed. The state associations are
doing a similar work..

Equally Divide d,

'The pushing, rushing, jostling crowds
that throng the streets of Birmingham
nowadays said an old resident of the
city last night at the Hillman,. remind
me of a story told biz wag of this town
few years ago. A friend of his, who
came to visit him from Mississippi was
greatly attracted by the eager crowds in
the streets in the flush days during the
boom, and expressed Z. desire to sell out
his interests at home and move to Br-
nIingham. He thought that where so
many people were there would surely be
a good opportunity to make money. His
friend here listened to him patiently for
while and made an Illuminating COM
ment on the crowds.
4 see said the Birmingham man to
the man from Mississippi that you are
greatly taken with the throngs of people
seen here on the streets. Did 1t ever oc-
eur to you that one-half of these hurrying
pedestrians are bill collectors running to
catch up with their debtors and the other
half are debtors running to escape their
creditors?

resident, lis still raising strawberry crops

nois Central railway"

Grandfather Clauses.

If the st. Louis Globe-Democrat in
cludes Alabama among the states that
base suffrage upon a grandfather, it
is outside of well-llnown facts alto.
gether. The permanent plan of the
constitution of 1901 is now in opera
ton in Alabama, and there is no grand
father business in that plan, or the
suffrage law passed in pursuance of It..
Any man who can read or write.or who
pays taxes upon $500 worth of prop
erty can be registered and can vote.
The permanent plan is wholly just
and impartial to all, be they white or
black, rich or poor, highly born or of
lowly parentage.
There may be a county here and
there in which the permanent plan is
not carried into effect as it should be,
and as the constitution makers of 1901
intended It should be, but all such
Irregularities will be eliminated as fast
as they are discovered. Any board of
registration who refuses in any man
ner to register a citizen entitled to reg
istration may be prosecuted at the ex-
pense of the county, and every citizen
who has such a grievance will be do
ing the state favor If he will carry
his grievance into court. Public SEN
/ timent, too will uphold him.
The Globe-Democrat is endeavoring
to use the grandfather clauses as him
ORANGES against the coming to the
south of immigrants from Europe. 1t
wants them to continue to go west and
grow up with its own section. AS a
matter of fact a newcomer in the south
can as readily become voter as he
can in a northern state. The grand
father clauses, wherever they do ex-
list, extend the suffrage. They do not
in any manner limit CO restrict it. The
immigrant who comes south will be
welcomed, and as soon as he becomes
naturalized he can, if he be at all alert,
become voter and a full sovereign.
The Globe-Democrat's remarks, based
as they are on its own ignorance, do
not fit Alabama at all.

uNcHANelNe CIRCUS RINGS.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Amid great hubbub the old circus man
sat on the grass in the sunlight, smok-
ing a pipe and directing the making Of
the rings.
"Circuses." he said, have developed,
evolved and changed. From the one ring
of the past they have grown to three
rings. plus an elvated stage. and there
are many other improvements. But in
one particular there has been no change
since time began, and that Is in the
dimension of the ring. A circus ring is al
ways the same size-forty-two feet nine
inches in damsser. Go where you will
you will never find circus ring with
different dimensions from that.
"A bareback rider can ride best in a
such a ring of this size. All riders
train in such a ring and all horses are
trained in such ring. There would be
trouble for horses and men If the size of
the ring should be changed. 1t would
be like changing the size of the baseball
diamond only worse

Secretary Hester and the Census.

Secretary Hester of the New Or
leans cotton exchange has gone to
Washington to confer with Superin-
tendent North as to the offer of a posi-
ton as special advisory expert to the
census bureau. Mr.. Hester has made
the gathering of cotton statistics a
study, and for the good of the cotton
producing states 1t is to be hoped he
VIII accept the place thus offered him
If he does, he will still remain secre-
tary and superintendent of the New
Orleans cotton exchange, for his duties
in the census bureau would be adj
visory only.
Mr.. Hester is inclined to accept the
preferred place in the hope that it will
enable him to induce the government
to ascertain definitely and accurately
the consumption of cotton, something
which he as an individual has never
been able. to accomplish. There are,
too, other facts in relation to the staple
that should be brought out, and Mr..
Hester Is the right man to get in touch
with the governments system. He can
bring benefits to the cotton industry
as special advisory expert in the
census bureau, and it is to be hoped
he will accept the appointment.

hate of tyrant and of knave,
A love Of right, a scorn OF wrong,
OF coward and of slave;

And on his manly brow
Praise TO the bard his words are driy~An,

Beside his coffin with wet eyes,
Her brave. her beautiful, her good.

And still as on his funeral day,
Men stood his cold eartn-couch around

And consecrated ground it is,

Coming Report OF The acreaue.

The first report of the Departm emit
of Agriculture on the cotton acreage
of the present season of growth will
be due June 2, and 1t is awaited with
considerable interest. Over the prep
aration of the forthcoming report fric-
ton has arisen, and the parties to the
friction are John Hyde, chief of the
bureau of statistics of the Department
of Agriculture, and Harvie Jordan,
president Of the cotton association.
Mr.. Jordan desired to furnish the re-
ports on acreage for the use of Mr..
Hyde, but Mr.. Hyde declined the prop
osition, because Mr.. Jordan's reports
are not to be consolidated until May
80, or only three days before the day
set for the publication of the Agricul-
tural Departments reports.
But the friction relates to Mr.. Jor-
dams mental attitude rather than to
any question of time. Mr.. Jordan
assumes to begin with that the acre
age in cotton has been materially re-
duced, and he desires Mr. Hyde TO
secure information based on that as
sumption. Mr.. Hyde refuses to recog-
nize Mr.. Jordan or his assumption. He
is gathering information Independent
of any pre-conceived notions. He even
lectures Mr.. Jordan and his associates,
accusing them of pre-judging the stu
alton. Mr.. Hyde says no injustice will
be done in his report Of June 2, be-
cause 80 per cent of the reports thus
consolidated will come from cotton
farmers, and he feels sure they are
not bears in market sense Of that
word. He ventures the assertion that
whatever error is made in the report
of Juno 2 will, as usual. be one favor
able to the farmers"

Judge Parker has been located again.
Newspaper correspondents pretend that
they cannot remember his name, that the
place of his residence escapes them and
his past achievements are shrouded in
impenetrable obscurity OF course such
pleasantries are nothing more than at
tempts at humor. Judge Parker is now
at Rosemount where he recently got his
name in print by bandagfng up the finger
of his little granddaughter, who had suf-
fered an accident while swinging. How
ever. it is an evidence of times sweeping
erasures that not one paragrapher has
thought to enquire whether Judge Parker
has taken his spring bath in the Hud-
son.
