Woodlands Second Shooting.

The shooting down of another eiti-
zen of Woodlawn renders the situation
in that perplexed suburb still more
complicated. The fatal wounding of
Edward Fowler by a negro leads to
the general belief that Isaac w. Wal
ter fell by the same murderous hand.
This presumption is but a guess, but
it is reasonable to assume that the
highwayman who killed the one citi-
zen may have wounded the other.
The negro was very tall, and he
wore overalls and black coat No
other clue seems to have been discoy-
cred. The shooting occurred about 10
o'clock on Monday night, and the ne
gro had all the remainder of the night
to get away in. Woodlawn is taking
steps to protect itself. Instead of
having one patrolman to cover the en-
tire city, each ward will hereafter
have three patrolmen, and each ward
is to have a captain. The new patrol
is wholly of volunteer nature, but 1t
will be none the less efficient on that
account.
Sheriff Burgin and every other au-
thority in the county should aid Wood
lawn to apprehend the man or men
who killed one man and fatally wound
ed another. Unusual diligence In ap-
pretending the footpads of Woodlawn
will depress the industry In all other
parts of this county. Woodlawn will
leave no stone unturned, but its best
efforts may not accomplish the task.
Let all the authorities in the county
take a hand in apprehending the tall
negro and whoever killed Isaac w.
" Walter.

Commissioner Ross c. Smith.

Everyone in Alabama who knows
the man will applaud the appointment
of Ross C. Smith as Commissioner of
the immigration and Industrial Asso-
citation of Alabama. Had a dozen
states been looked over a better man
for such a position could not have
been selected.
1t Is with deep regret to The Age
Herald, and to every man who is part
and parcel of making this newspaper,
that Mr.. Smith has seen fit to sever
his connection with it and to accept
the appointment mentioned above.
Mr.. Smith has been the business man.
ager of The Age-Herald for several
years and much of the success of this
newspaper has been due to his SPLEEN
did work. And while The Age-Herald
regrets the change, it is a foregone
conclusion that he will do a work for
the state of Alabama which could not
be equaled by any other man within
its confines.
The great railroad interests of Ala
bama are behind this movement to de-
velop the state. They have decided TO
spend money literally to bring new
people and new Industries to Alabama,
and they have delegated Mr.. Smith as
the one man who is best equipped to
handle such a work. Ross Smith will
do this work well, as he has done
everything he has ever undertaken.
Mr.. Smith is at present in Asheyille,
N. c., where he has been during the
past month recuperating from a slight
illness. He has now almost recovered
his accustomed strength and will as
sumo the duties of his new Office to-
morrow morning He may remain In
Asheville several weeks longer, but
will begin the work from that point.
He will soon return to Birmingham,
and open an Office here with several
competent men to assist him in the
great work which he has undertaken.

Peace Possibilities.

Each days reports enlarge Togo's
victory, and of course reduce Russia's
sea power. 1t is indeed doubtful
whether a single battleship of the
eight that Rojestvensky carried
through the China sea remains today
in Russian hands. At any rate all sea
power in the Far East has departed
from Russia, and is securely lodged
during the present war in Japan
which is but one hundred miles away
Russia knows she cannot fight a ma
ton of fifty millions SO near at hand
fifty millions everyone of whom is a
patriot if not fatalist. Russia knows
all this-that is to say, intelligent Rus
STA does.
Why then will she not sue through
Monsieur Delcasse, or through Theo-
dore Roosevelt for peace? Perhaps
she will; but the question that inter-
ests all humanity is, alas, complicated
with the fortunes OF the Romanoffs.
If, however, the dynasty sees that
even peace at any price is better than
more defeats, then peace will become
possible, even probable The bust
ness world needs it, and humanity
fairly cries out for It, 1t is felt in
berlin, and all France, loaded up with
Russian bonds, would welcome it. All
possible outside influence favors peace,
and the rank and file in Russia never
did desire to become targets for the
Japanese. 1t is in the air, and today

GLASS TOPS FOR TABLES.

From the New York Press.
In her dressing room and on her pet
afternoon tea table Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbit is using an idea she gathered from
her hair dresser. The embroidered cloths
spread over dressing and tea tables are
covered with sheets of the clearest plate
glass, cut to fit the table tops exactly. The
advantage of the glass cover, which Mrs.
Vanderbilt was quick to take in at a
glance, Is that one may use the costliest
lace embroidered spreads for months at
Il time without having their freshness
spoiled by dust or running the danger of
having them spoilee- at the cleaners. The
glass cover also prevents the cloths from
being stained by water, cologne, hair tonic
or the rings made by wet bottles. In the
case OF the tea table, the kettle might
sputter, the alcohol run over or a wet
saucer might be put down on the glass
top, and yet the embroidered cloth be-
meath would not be spotted in the slight
est. Any woman can try this. for glass
is cheap.

The scarcity of labor is by no means
confined to the farms. 1t is felt on

every industry of this state. 1t is
growing worse, rather than better, and
it will continue to grow worse until
white immigrants are induced to come

Our Bonded Indebtedness.

Mayor Wards declaration in favor
OF prompt payment of interest on the
eity's bonded indebtedness. has been
published and republished In every
part of the country. Says the New
York World in relation to it: rigid
economy in city expenditures is not a
bad doctrine to preach south or north.
Southern cities can adopt no better
municipal policy than to protect their
credit at any cost" The declaration
of Mayor Ward that has called out so
much favorable comment reads as fol-
lows:
That so long as his administration lasts
funds will be systematically and sacredly
set aside out of current receipts TO pay
every dollar of interest on our bonded
Indebtedness, and no matter what may
happen to other departments dependent
upon our treasury the city's bond In
terest shall never at any time be placed
In jeopardy.
This declaration will be firmly up
he'd by the city council and by the
people of Birmingham, and no bonds
In the country need any better support
than that Every dollar due on the
city's bonded indebtedness will be paid

ever 1t is printed and it has been

birmingham are not provided with popu-

In all other cities arrangements are
made whereby these concerts may be

Sell the Philippines.

Now Is the time for Uncle Sam TO
open deal for the sale Of the Philip
pine Islands to Japan.
With Russia at the feet of the Mi
kado's victorious soldiers and sailors,
peace appears imminent. Japan will
demand a heavy war indemnity and
may have funds on hand to acquire
territory by purchase, If she so de-
sires. She needs the Philippines more
than we do, and II this government
would set a reasonable price on the
islands there is no reason why the
transfer should not be made to the
satisfaction of all parties concerned.
This is indeed contamination de-
voutly to be wished. The Philippines
have proven white elephant on the
hands of the United States-a pachy-
derm of huge dimensions. The cost
of acquiring these islands and subject
ing their rebellious inhabitants has
vastly exceeded any benefit we could
hope to derive from them, while the
expenditures still continue. What mat
ter total of imports for the year
1904 from the Philippines into the
United States of $12.066,934 and a
total Of exports from this country to
the islands of $4,S31,S60? These sums
are mere items in Uncle Sans vast
account with the nations of the world.
We could lose these revenues entirely
and not suffer.
When Uncle Sam took the Philip
pines he acquired 2vvO islands, with
population of 100000, of whom
100000 are savages. The task of
introducing civilization has proved a
difficult, and, In the main, an unsatis.
factory one. We whipped Spain in
less than four months, but we are still
fighting the Filipinos. Now that we
have the natives, comparatively speak.

are a load upon the back of Uncle
Sam. Judge Parker said the Philip
pines cost us $7OOOOO,OOO and there

are worth that much to us now in good
American dollars.
According to these figures, the is
