WARD IN WASHINGTON.
Washington Post

F IOHl tHo w OSb
 MT. George B. Ward. Mayor of Birmingham, who Is at the New Willard, is a good representative of the young and progressive element which is at the fore front in all that pertains to the material welfare of the south. He is like-ise the only man ever elected to the mayoralty of his town who is a native thereof. In conversation with a Post reporter, MT. Ward said
 "I came with a delegation of my fel- lowcitizens to invite President Roose- welt to visit our city. There are a great many men in the south, representing the best intelligence and truest patriotism, who are absolutely opposed to the sort of political leadership of which Cover nor Vardaman is the exponent. No doubt President Roosevelt understands that. just as the great mass of the southern people believe in his liberality and good feeling toward every section of our com mon country.
 Birmingham was never busier, never more prosperous than now and the out look for a continuation of the present satisfactory status Is all that could be wished. The monthly pay roll of the Bir- mingham district is s4OOo.OOO in cash, dis- tributed by a group of great industrial concerns, which are constantly increasing the magnitude of their output. It is man. ifest destiny that this place, which has for long while been producing iron more cheaply than 1t can be made anywhere else on earth, is going to be one of the leading centers of industry in the na- tion,"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-01-13
4mendinq the Bankruptcy Law.

A feeling prevails in all parts of the country that the bankruptcy law is becoming more a device for swind- ling creditors than for distributing as- sets and aiding honest debtors. Rep resentative Bassett of Brooklyn there fore proposes that 1t be amended by requiring the consent of one-half of the creditors before a debtor can be discharged.
 The object of the federal bankrupt cy law is the equal distribution of as- sets, not the discharge of debtors from their deDts. The latter has been lugged in as an incident, because a state cannot impair the obligation of a contract, and congress may by i'm plication do so.
 Under the law as 1t stands at pres ent the burden ol proof Is upon credi- tors when fraud is suspected or in- volved, and 1t is not easy as creditor to prove fraud. The result is, many fraudulent bankruptcies, and an un- equal distribution of assets, all capped by a discharge of the bankrupt, no matter how dishonesty he may have acted.
 The amendments of 1903 have not proven effective against the use of the law by dishonest men, and MT. Bassett thinks the best way to check fraudulent bankruptcies consists in the requirement of the consent of half of the creditors before debtor can be discharged from his debts. The sub. feet may not come up in the remain Ing days of the short session, but 1t VIII be revived next winter, and the wishes of the people in reference to 1t should become known.

Paderewski's Popularity.

q have heard all the famous plano virtuosos who have appeared in this coun- try within the last thirty-five years" said a music lover, land 1t is safe to say that Paderewski is far ahead of any of the other great solo artists, living or dead, in point of popularity in the con- cert world.
 "Rubenstein was poetic and dazzling, but Paderewshs playing is even more luminous. Von Buelow was perhaps the greatest Beethoven player that ever lived but Paderewsk Is also a great Beethoven player and In purely romantic music sur passes Von Bueiow Paderewski was fad ten years ago and today 1t Is just as much as ever the fashion to hear him. He has the happy faculty of charming musicians and those who can only turn tune
 "When a musician of Paderewski 8 worldwide reputation appears in Bir- mingham hundreds of people come from other towns to hear him. learn that large Paderewski parties are being made up in Huntsville. Gadsden. Anniston. Ma rion. Greensboro, Montgomery, Selma and Auburn and the hotels will be filled with visitors while the virtuoso is here"
