been moral unsoundness at Washing ton, but all together have not injured our reputation at home and abroad nearly so much as municipal degen- eracy has.
 Heretofore the lowest and the most vicious classes have joined hands for the purpose of footing the taxpayer. Graft in a thousand forms has been predominant. Immortality and eorrup- tion went into partnership, and in many cities still they remain in part nership, but there is hope that the hour for radical change has come. Decent men are getting together, and when they get together the grafters ar the immoral will be driven out of politics.
 In the new uprising Mayor Ward can be trusted 10 keep Birmingham abreast of the current. Let him mas sage his backbone daily, and proceed to drive the grafters and the vicious wholly out of city politics. Let him ra.ly for any good purpose the city's best men, and the victory will not long be doubtful.

pr. Staqu and the Negro.

Attention is directed to the exceed ingly interesting address, printed else where in The Age-Herald of today, that was made yesterday by the Rev. Dr. J. W. Stagg of Birmingham be- fore the students of theological sem mary at Clarksville, Tenn.
 Dr. Stagg V discourse has to do with a subject that touches vitally the ma terial. social and religious welfare of the American people. This subject Is, in word, the negro problem.
 It is no exaggeration to state that this address of Dr. Stagg's is one of the most informing and most illum- inating dissertations of it's kind that have recently been heard or read. It Is original, logical, kindly and sincere, Illustrating as it does a comprehensive grasp of the subject discussed, dis criminating sense of sympathy with the backward people whom Dr. Stagg seriously seeks to help and a philo- sophie insight into social. political and ethnic conditions throughout this country and throughout the earth.
 This is, in elaborated form, the speech made a few days ago by Dr. Stagg at Auburn-an address that has awakened everywhere a great deal of interest and, in certain circles, not a little unfavorable criticism. By req son of this address, and more especi- ally by reason of the abbreviated re- port given of it in the newspapers, Dr. Stagg has been not a little aspersed
 T. is impossible in any thinking per son to read the whole discourse and not to feel that this condemnation of Dr. Stagg is quite unmerted and that hi- address is a distinct and valuable contribution made to the discussion of a problem that is admittedly most diff ficult of wise solution.
 Let him who reads, and reflects upon this address determine whether of not Dr. Stagg is logical in reason ing and clear in statement.

Summer School for Teachers.

The school is especially designed for the benefit of the teachers of the state-the teach CTS in the public schools. It is a link between the university and the public schools The state appropriated five thousand dollars in support of the summer school, and the friends of the movement have contributed half as much more.
 Last summer the attendance at the nniyersity's' summer school was 351, coming from flfty-one of the sixty seven counties of this state. A fuller attendance is anticipated this summer. and the hope is that every county will be represented. The list of lecturers is ample. The lectures are additional to the regular instruction, and alto gether the students who attend will have all the benefits that can be crowded into course five weeks long.

Washington the Diplomatic Center.

Berlin. June 13,-The newspapers none of which appeared here yesterday owing to the holiday. and only few this morn- ipg. contain this evening long apprecia- tions of President Roosevelt's success in bringing, the bellgerents in the far east to consider peace.
 The sincerity of American diplomacy Is complimented, and reference Is made to the faith with which any proposal from Washington is received in other capitals. The importance of Washington as a dip lomatic center is noted, and it is pointed cut that the importance must increase in proportion to the growth of the United States in naval strength and the inter- est of the United States government in it's relation with other powers. The Presi- dents personality is regarded as respon- sible for the state departments taking larger part in foreign political problems say that the United States will be brought more and more into international diplo- matic struggles because of her increasing weight, both relative and actual in pop ulation wealth and military strength and that she will make her moral influence sought by every other power.
 The National Zeltung expresses grati- flcation at the fact that Emperor Will fam and President Roosevelt worked to- gether in preparing the way for the ac- ceptance by Russia and Japan of the suggestion that they consider the ques- tion of peace.
