Lawyers Point Out Evils of Personal

1.-THE most serious evil OF modern prae-

The words are used, not by the en-

Practically the, entire current number is
devoted to this one subject.
One of the writer's, in discussing the

A case in most of our large cities must
wait at least two years before it reaches
a jury. The cost of trial is large, and

VULCAN STATUE AGAIN.
Mrs. Lowell, Chairman of Committee
of Women's Clubs, Writes.

To the Editor of The Age-IIerald;
In a recently published letter 1t was
stated that the club women of Bir-
mingham had given no reasons for plae-
ing Vulcan on Red Mountains.
The committee representing the Council
of Women's Clubs explained it's reasons
fully TO the City Council and to the
Commercial club. in addition to writing
number of articles for the papers on
the subject
we will now. however, take pleasure
In reiterating these reasons for the ben
eft of those who have not heard them,
and who in consequence are yet uncon-
WINGED that Red mountain would be the
most desirable site for tits statue.
To sum up: We wish to make the most
that is possible to be made of the statue
of Vulcan for the benefit of the city.
Properly placed we believe that Vulcan
will be real attraction, while erected
with inappropriate surroundings, it might
become source of modification.
Vulcan was designed to surmount a
lofty pedestal, and placed at the proper
height. his proper tons would seem sym
metrical. Otherwise, as at ST. Louis. he
would probably remain what he looked
there, a monstrosty. This statue was not
designed as a work of art to be seen
at close range, and If placed in Capitol
park on a twelve-foot pedestal, instead
of attracting admiring throngs from the
outside world. Birmingham would prob
ably naturally think that this was our
ideal of the beautiful in art. Undoubtedly
In a few years Vulcan would be ig-
ANONYMOUSLY torn down at the demand
of public sentiment, and once more the
citizens would be called upon to defray-
possibly this time-his funeral expenses.
Vulcan has, however, real value, and
If placed in the midst of appropriate sur
roundings there is no reason why he
should not appear magnlficiently impress
sive. All colossal statues should be seen
with a grand perspective. What makes
the Goddess lof Liberty in New York Is
the distance from which 1t is seen. How
little could this great statue be appre-
clated IL 1t were placed In a small square
In New York City surrounded by houses
Placed at the head of Twentieth street
on the summit of Red mountain. Vulcan
could be seen from either end of the
valley as the trains approached Birmihg-
ham; and standing there, on the very
iron ore from which he was created with
the rugged mountain surroundings har-
monzlng perfectly with his own rough
construction, there Is no reason why he
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-04-29

should not be permanent and magnih-
cent exempllticatlon of the enterprise OF
our city.
Two beautiful sites within few yards
of each other have been generously Of
fered by Mr.. Sterling Wood and the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company. Not far
below them Vulcan lies awaiting his fate
and It would be an easy and compare
lively Inexpensive matter to transport
him to either spot and erect him where
he would show to the greatest possible
advantage.
Already every Sunday afternoon the
woods of Red mountain are thronged
| with people, 50 anxious for something
to look at that they Chamber down to the
railroad track to gaze with interest on
| Vulcans severed trunk and limbs. Think
| what 1t would aean to Sunday sight
| seers to have the statue of Vulcan to
| go to! Hundreds would so where dozens
| go now. and the benefit alone of the
| fresh air and sunshine would be meal
| cuable.
From the spot where Vulcan would
! stand there is the most beautiful view OF
, Birmingham imaginable. If we could take
strangers to that summit they would be
! impressed with our city as they never
| could be seeing ii only from the smoke
4, laden, grimy level of its streets
True, the "l0-cent fare" would be a
necessity for some, were Vulcan erected
on Red mountain, but this might also
have been urged as an argument against
| Capitol park as quite as many people
live south of the railroad in Birmingham
as north OF It,.
The club women who have entered or
this crusade are not working TO have
Vulcan placed on Red mountain because
they could see the statue from their owr
houses. but because they want 1t PLACED
to the best advantage for the good of the
city They would be perfectly willing to
yield If any other site more beautiful or
more appropriate could be suggested.
