Hotel Accommodations.

THE fact that Birmingham needs bet
ter hotel accommodations was clearly
demonstrated Thursday night" said a
railroad man yesterday "A special train
containing several hundred teachers and
pupils from Indianapolis arrived in the
city over the Louisville and Nashville
railroad and men and women were walk
ing around the streets until o'clock in
the morning trying to find a room where
they could spend the night.
ut is true that such parties do not ar
rive in the city every day, and under such
circumstances, but then a great many
more such parties would come here were
the hotel accommoda tions adequate The
school people were &orced to walk the
streets for hours hunting for accommoda-
lions at the hotels.
"This emphasizes the need of large
hotel In Birmingham more than any other
instance that l know of, and will GER
tainly be a big day for Birmingham when
the ground is broken for the Jefferson
hotel. That will relieve the situation, and
1t will also mean that Birmingham Will
get numerous large conventions and
meetings which now fight sh' of this
CITY,"

Cheaper Pig Iron.

The German experts and ironmak-
ers are very much interested in the
process of cheapening pig iron under
the James Gayley process. The Gay
ley idea is that by taking the moisture
out of the air driven into the blast
furnace less fuel is needed, and the
cost of producing pig iron is therefore
materially eheapened.
The Gayley plan was tested at a
stack in Pennsylvania, the expert
ment covering two periods, one OIL
eleven days. and the other of sixteen
days. In the former period ordinary
air was used; in the latter the moist
ure was first taken out by the ammo
MIA process. In the former case 2l41
pounds of coke were used in the maxi
ing of a ton of pig iron; in the lat
ter case 1726 pounds of coke sufficed.
A saving of over 400 pounds of coke
per ton of iron is material and I'M
portant. 1t is equivalent to reduc-
ton in the cost of production ranging
from 40 cents to 80 cents, according
to the price of coke. Mr.. Gayley IS
confident the net reduction will at any
rate be 25 cents a ton.
The German experts discredit the
Gayley process. This they would nat
urally do, because 1t comes from their
chief rival in the iron and &eel IN
dustry. The Germans do not, how
ever, present any figures from actual
tests and until they do that their con-
clusions are not conclusive. 1t is not
matter that can be settled by the
DRY. Something stronger and more
definite is needed before iron pro-
ducers will be convinced that the
Gayley process is not, good economy
and a good step in the course OF cheap
ening the great commercial metal.

HYMN BY SECRETARY Hay.

From the New York Times.
Preaching in his old pulpit in Plymouth
church, Brooklyn Rev. DR.. Lyman Abb
bott editor of the Outlook. spoke of Sec
rotary of State John Hay as great
statesman and recited hymn which Mr..
Hay had once given him for the Plymouth
collection.
Il am sure you will agree with me-"
said Mr. Abbott, that for the last six
or seven years John Hay has led the
diplomacy of the world, and has been
a power in international affairs; the
strong man who has put this nation in
the lead among the nations of the world.
This hymn, which he wrote many years
ago, and gave me permission to put into
the Plymouth collection, gives the secret
of his power:
Not in dumb resignation, we lift our
hands on high;
Not like the nerveless fatalist' content to
do and die.
Our faith springs, like the eagles, who
scars to meet the sun,
And cries exulting unto Thee. 20 Lord,
Thy will be DONE
When tyrant feet are trampling upon the
common veal,
Thou dost not bid us bend and writhe be-
meath the iron heel.
In Thy name we assert our right by
sword or tongue or PEN
And even the headsmans AK may flash
Thy message unto men.
Thy will! 1t bids the weak be strong; 1t
bids the strong be just;
No lips to fawfls no hand to beg, no brow
to seek thedust.
Whenever man Expresses men benath the
liberal sun.
Lord. be there: Thine arm made bare,
Thy righteous will be done.

Mr. Taft. who weighs over 300
pounds, is not only Secretary of war
and grand duke of the canal zone, but
he is also president ad interim and
acting Secretary of State. Whenever
the President is asked about great
state subject, be it national or inter
national, he simply says that "Secre-
tary Taft is keeping in touch with the
situation
But Mr.. Taft is big enough to fill
a great many chairs, and the republic
will take no harm under its new chief.
The mice should not attempt to play
while our big Philippine cat is at
hand. The other cat is away, but the
Philippine cat Is present, ready to
meet all mice that become aggressive.
He is at hand whether the Panama
canal becomes obstrusive, or Santo
Domingo, or Morocco or what not. No
matter what subject comes up in the
next two months, he is ready to meet
it, and if he sits down on it it will
certainly be squeched. Ever since
the days of Grover Cleveland averdu-
pois has been considered a feature
and an equipment for craftsmanship,
and no one, not even Mr.. Cleveland,
has ever excelled our new boss in
that respect
Fortunately for our President pro
tenn his offices are close together. He
can step across from the low, but
long, extension of the White House
to the war office, where he can order
a battleship or two, and then he can
go down the hall to the state depart
ment where he can call up Mr.. Crom-
well, thus getting In touch with the
Santo Domingo situation. How many
times day he takes this walk is not
necessary to inquire, for Poo Bah is
law to himself.

inspection of Militia.

THE -recent inspection of the I'VE mil

ter rolls, and | DOUBT if out of TINS Dig
number there were in all fifteen men alb

laws are very strict with reference to the
attendance at the annual inspection No

COTTAGES No Longer Profitable.

This years building operations
show a plain tendency against the fur
Their erection of onestory or cottage
houses. Ground is becoming too val
liable to render such houses profita-
Bile. A thousand-dolar cottage on a
thousand dollar lot Is disproportion-
ate. The building should cost at least
twice as much as the lot
The cottage type is wasteful in
ground expense, in foundation work,
and in roofing, for all three would
serve in the case of a two-story as
well as in a one-story house, and in
the two-story house twice the amount
of shelter would be secured.
This town has outgrown its cottage
period. In suburbs in which lots hav-
ing a frontage of fifty feet are still
offered at from one hundred to three
hundred dollars, cottages may still
answer all needs and uses, but in this
city itself they are now Improbable,
and will soon be placed in the cate
CORY of houses to be torn down. Bir-
mingham lots now call for more than
one floor. Birmingham's population
does likewise, and Birmingham rents
will readily do the rest.

A PICTURE OF DEATH.

By Lord Byron
He who hath bent him DER the dead
Ere the first day of death is fed,
THE first dark day of nothingness,
The last of danger and distress,
(Before Decays effacing fingers
Have swept the lines where beauty lin
gers),
And marked the mild, angelic air,
The rapture of repose. that's there
The fixed yet tender traits that streak
The languor of-th placid cheek,
And. but for that sad shrouded eye,
That fires not, wins not. weeps not now,
And but for that chill, changeless brow,
Where cold DISTINCTIONS apathy
Appans the gazing mourner's heart,
AS If to him II would impart
The doom he breads, yet dwells upon;
Yes. but for these and these alone,
Some moments, ay, one treacherous hour,
He still might doubt the tryants power;
So fair. so calm. so softly sealed,
The first. last look by death revealed!
Such Is the aspect of this shore;
TITS Greece, but living Greece no more!
So coldly sweet so deadly fair,
We start. for soul is wanting there.
Hers Is the loneliness in death.
That parts not quite with parting breath /;
But beauty with that fearful bloom,
That hue which haunts 1t to the tomb,
Expressions last receding ray,
A gilded halo lowering round decay,
The farewell beam of Feeling passed
away;
Spark of that flame. perchance of heav-
emily birth.
Which CLEANS. but warns no more its
cherished earth!

cornner Paris and His Jury.

Coroner Paris charge to his jury
Sitting over the Virginia mines disas-
ter does not mention the state mine
inspector or his assistants, and the
Jury In its verdict is content to say
that the state mine inspector and his
assistants did warn the operators Of
1.-THE dangerous condition of the mines
for over a year prior to the ex-
plosion." No other mention is made
of the mine inspector or of his assist
ants.
Mine inspectors who Issue warnings
only do not render very valuable
services TO the miners or to the state
Writing out opinions on this or that
mine will never safeguard human
lives in it while the world goes round
What was needed from Coroner
Paris and his jury was a finding rela-
tive to the record at Virginia City of
the mine inspectors, three in number
Should or should not the warnings
'.for over year have been followed
by enforced action? Does or does not
the mining laws of this state give the
mining inspectors power to abate a
dangerous condition? Can he or can
he not close a mine that imperls
without reason human life?
Such questions as these should have
been considered by the coroner's
jury selected by Coroner Paris to in
yestigate the disaster at Virginia City,
but ii does not appear that the action
of the inspectors was discussed or
even suggested in the entire course OF
the investigation. The verdict is not
satisfactory because that feature of
the case was omitted.
The future welfare of the miners of
this state is involved in this case. II
the state inspectors have no power, or
having power will not use it, in the
case of a mine in "a dangerous con-
dtion,' the people and especially the
miners should, know it. If mine in.
spection by the state is simply AGA
demic, let the miners be SO informed,
and they will perhaps take some steps
TO secure their own safety against ex-
plosions. Heretofore they have trust
ed more or less for safety to state in
spection, and state inspection seems
to be matter simply of opinion writ
ing Opinions, however well worded,
will never keep mines from getting
into "a dangerous condition"

How Iudqes Are Selected.

A paper read at the last meetings
of the New York State Bar associa
ton, prepared by Simon Fleischmann
of Buffalo consisted in a good part Of
answers to questions as to the ap-
pointment of judges in the vaYous
states. These answers came from
lawyers, and the questions called for
direct, although brief, answers. I'm
der the head alabama" appears this
summary of answers received from
this state:
l. Elected for six years; appellate judges
by state, and trial by districts. Salary Of
appellate, $1,000; circuit judges and chan
cellors. $3.50.
3 Political activity and influence are
Important elements. and more so in the
case OF circuit than appellate judges.
8. Generally impartial and fairly COM
petent, and have confidence of bar and
public. but there appears a growing dis
position on part of public to curtail their
powers.
Generally ablest men not on bench
owing. in part, to small salaries.
g. Lawyers do not by concerted action
or through bar associations exert infiu-
ence. Individually. lawyers have much
influence through information given to
voters.
Y G. Bar should exert influence through
concerted action among its members.
The answers from this state do not
materially differ from those of other
states. All, as rule, agree Mr..
Fleischmann offers some practical
suggestions as the net result of the
answers received. He says lawyers
do not exercise as much influence as
they could, and should, in the selec-
tion of judges. They should not, how
ever, overdo the exercise of influence.
They should not become dictators.
They should induce the people to in
crease the salaries of judges. Every

like to be jumped on all in heap like
a steam hammer blow, and to be told that
they are robbers.
Railroad men are human, and will fight
as other men fight. They carry a bit of
nerve beneath their shirts themselves and
will fight furiously when forced But as
a rule they are as clever set of sturdy,
safe and sane men men, and as honorable
and honest as one will find in the world.
Now, Mr.. Conner, having knowledge of
railroads, picked out weak points, and at
tackled Finding these weak points and
pointing to them he heralded widely the
wickednesse of the railroad corporations.
But there is not nearly so much wicked
ness as 1t would be made to appear How
ever, this will all come out. and the peo-
pie in the hearings which have been GO
ing ON and viii continue will get the full
facts and be able to digest them in time.
In the meantime, the politician Is hover
ing about seeking band wagons to mount
and horns to foot They are jumping up
behind Mr., Conner, humming notes of
folly in his ear. and clashing cymhals to
consort with the bass drum beaten by
Cunningham in the rear and Ginning in
with Comer's cornet on the front seat.
Cunning Cunningham saw the trail. heard
the music of the cornet and turned a
double somersaut from the top story of
the executive mansion at the eleventh
hour, landing squarely upon the rear seat
of the band wagon, beating merrily
bass to the clarion eornet of Conner.

But it is the game of politics.
And seriously speaking, why should the
people of the great state of Alabama be
made monkeys of TO support a fellow who
would reduce the rate on tombstones as
his platform, or another fellow who saws
the rate is low enough. The rates on
tombstones and fertilizers are the great
and main issues and effort is made to
concentrate all Alabamas attention upon
such issues. Governors are to be grown
from cheaper fertilizers; and maybe the

bar association should anticipate judi
cial selections by having candidates
TO be named by the two great parties,
or, in the case of vacancy, by the
governor. Lawyers only should be
sent to judicial conventions. Mr..
Fleischmann evidently had not heart
of the primary system. In substance,
Mr. F. asks that lawyers stand to-
gether for the purpose of putting good
lawyers and good men on the bench.
