ATLANTA vS. BIRMINGHAM,

From the Mobile Item.
 As an argument attempting to show Atlantas superior claims over Birming- ham in behalf of the location of the much mooted United States sub-treasury in the south, Atlanta put forth the state- ment that Birmingham employees only 39S7 men, to whom is annually paid $1. 70O,- 0O0 Birmingham comes prompetly to the front and challenges this statement by showing that the Birmingham districts pay roll carries on it 166 men," to whom was paid last year s37, 7,169, no This is pretty stiff claim, but Birmingham challenges Atlanta to ''assail the figures'' There is one difference between the fig ures: Birmingham puts up the figures for what she claims; Atlanta puts her claim on what she says Birmingham hasn't, and compares this with what At 1anta has, BeIittling other people is not winning play, but Atlanta is out for the sub-treasury, let other people be what they may Comparing the two sets of figures, Atlanta shows that Birmingham has 4OO0 linen" on her pay roll. Using tne USUAL average or i've persons 10 ono man, or voter, Birminghams population represented in industrial activity, would be 10000 To the contrary, Birmingham's claim for the Birmingham district" car ries "the names of 52,166 men, on the pay roll This would make a population of 100000 represented in gainful occupa- tions. This makes a grand showing for Birmingham. Again, Atlanta's figures for Birmingham show that the average Bir- mingham man earns $425 a year. Birming- hams claim for her own district" shows that the average man earns s710 a year. The wide margin between the two claims cannot but be noticed even by the casual reader.

work in arousing public interest inathe labor problem. Governor Hayward is deYoting his time and talents to the immigration cause; and the south is beginning to cooperate by urging the creating of state boards of immigra- tion.
 The United States Senate has passed bill carrying an appropriation of S77,- 900 for the erection of an immigration station at New Orleans. It is believed that this measure, known as the Nc Emery bill, will pass the House. With New Orelans fully equipped as an inn migration post thousands of desirable foreigners will land there instead of New York Alabama will derive some benefit from that source-how much, remains to be seen.
 What Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and the Carolinas should do is to unite in a movement to form an interstate association for the states named, elect ex-Governor Hayward commissioner general and bring influence to bear on Congress in favor of building and main taining an immigration station at Charleston. Hayward has been suc- cessful already in handling at Charles ton shipload of foreigners, all of them selected, in spite of the fact that Charleston has no immigration facili- ties. With his resourceful mind. his practical experience and his indomit- able energy, he would accomplish just what these states need, provided we can succeed in making Charleston as well as New Orleans a government sta tion. Under Rewards leadership, Alabama would be sure to get it's share of immigration.
 At any rate, cordial cooperation on the part of the southern states in the immigration enterprise is absolutely necessary at this juncture. The time for business-like action is right now.

FOREVER.

By John Boyle O'Reilly. Those we love truly never die, Tho year by year the sad memorial
 wreath, A ring and flowers, types of life and death Are laid upon their graves. For death the pure life saves, And life all pure is love; and love can
 reach From Heaven to earth, and nobler lessons
 teach, Than those by mortals read. Well blest is he who has dear one
 dead; A friend he has whose face will never
 change A dear communion that will not grow
 strange; The anchor of love is death The blessed sweetness, of loving
 breath Will reach our cheek all fresh thro'
 weary years; For her who died long since, an. waste
 not tears. She's thine unto the end. Thank God for one dear friend With face still radiant with the light of
 truth Whose love comes laden with the scent
 of youth, Thro twenty years of death.

Miller In Demand.

Reed Miller, the popular tenor of New York who spent Saturday and Sunday in Birmingham, left yesterday for Marion to i'll recital engagement at the Judson institute. Before returning to the east he will appear in concert in Atlanta and perhaps other southern cities.
 At the Church of the Advent Sunday night. Mir. Miller sang several classic se- lections, and delivered them as only an artist could. When he was a member of the Advent choir his voice was beautiful but now he has. besides the sweet quality with which nature endowed him, dramatic power and a vocalization that is excep- tionally fine for oratorio purposes After the song service he held an informal re- ception in the vestry room, and scores of his former friends crowded around him to congratulate him on his recent achieve ments In the musical world. Had ap- plause been in order in the church, 1t is safe to say that Miller would have re- ceived a genuine ovation.

PRESERVING RACE PURITY

to realize the awful consequences that will be the inevitable result. The matter is one of enormous importance, involving as 1t does the civilization of North Amer lea and the preservation of one of the most promising races that has ever in- habited the globe. Every person in the country given to public utterarices of any kind, whether through speech or written characters, should discuss this subject and to work up public opinion on the subject, for upon the issue depends whether this country shall continue upon the glorious career begun more than a century ago or shall retrograde to the condition that has come upon Santo De- mingo, Cuba and other Latin-American communities. which may have only pre- ceded us on the downward path.

 THE DINNER CALL. Of all the calls a fellow hears To bring him greatest pleasure, To fill his daily cup of joy And make a brimming measure The sweetest and the finest is dandy and a winner, A sound that wakes up appetites- The cheery call to dinner. No matter what your earthly woes, No matter what your trouble, If all your cares be weighty ones And all your griefs be double, You can not be a pessmist, Nor any more a sinner When full and clear you chance to hear The cheery call to dinner Its magic quickly makes us glad And puts us in good humor A sort Of rare prediction, too, An ever welcome rumor Of edibles to fill US up The magnate and the timer. There's nothing else could hope to beat The cheery call to dinner. It brings a smile to any face, Makes anybody pleasant The monarch on his throne of gold, The simply farng peasant. It kills the blues and keeps us all From surely growing thinner. Oh, best of all 1t is to hear The cheery call to dinner!

A Harmonious Shoemaker.

IT industry would make person rich know a negro who will be millionaire some day." said man about town
 'The darkey has shoe-making stall hardly big enough to hold himself and his stock of old shoes, but he evidently does business Judging by his activity and diligence. I have often stopped to listen to his conversation with other negroes who stood around watching his work, and some of his remarks would do credit to a philosopher.
 Tn his lap he holds an iron plate on which he beats the leather before shap- ing it as sole and the process of beating that piece of leather is one of the most harmonious and rythmical oper- ations l have eyer seen performed. He begins by striking the leather one tap and the iron one tap. Tick tink: tick, tink; then he varies the measure by beat ing on the iron tattoo with an oc- casional tap on the leather. Every time I hear him I am reminded of the anvil chorus I have passed by his stall in the morning before 6 o'clock, and in the even ing after o'clock and 1t was still tink, tick; tink, tick, followed by the varia- tions.

 "We are too prone today to overlook the simple life of those whose humble labors are the main sources of our happiness. :" Let not ambition mock their useful

 Their homely joys and destiny obscure; Nor grandeur hear, with a disdainful
 smile,

Roosevelt and the Stock Market.


 Concerning the effect of President Roosevelt's policy on the stock market, Henry Clews says:
 A great deal is made of the administra- tion's attitude towards the railroads and all large corporations. As a matter of fact Mir Roosevelt's aggressive policy in these matters has had less effect upon values than is supposed The attack upon the Northern Securities company; the move for abolishment of railroad rebates; the beef trust, the Standard Oil investigations, all had little or no effect upon the market when natural conditions and speculative forces were arrayed on the bull side. It so happens that natural forces and speculative operations for the last few weeks have been arrayed on the bear side; consequently, the declines have. in quarters antagonistic to the President been attributed to the latter $ aggressive attitude. It can be positively stated however, that he does not contem- plate any new legislation during thls session of Congress and that his plans are not as radical as represented. Of course, 1t Is probable that agitation on these subjects of political character may be temporarily disturbing to stock market values, especially when 1t inter- feres with the plans of some of our great financial magnates. In the end, however, MT. Roosevelt's attitude Is likely to be beneficial to the very corporations which are now apparently antagonistic to him. Neither they nor their stockholders can suffer except temporarily from the stand that the President takes for sound man agement and fair dealing with men. His intention also of curbing the excesses of some organizations is undoubtedly de- sirable for the peoples welfare and eventually will prove beneficial, for the building up within nation of a series of powers, such as those exercised by a few men controlling our great corpora tions, threatens the stability of the re- public and breeds socialism at an alarm ing pace. By curbing new forces and bringing them within the pale of the law the President is averting disasters which would sink into insignifcance when com pared with the temporary unplea santness of such readjustments as are now being effected. MT. Roosevelt has the power of public opinion behind him, without which he could effect nothing, and the antagonism of concentrated wealth would lac more likely to precipitate than avert trouble in Wall street.

Gambling Law.

Out in Washington there is a law in regard to gambling which I believe would prove of great aid in putting a stop to gambling in Alabama, said a private detective who has worked in all parts of the United States. "This law provides that person may recover whatever he has lost in a gambling house by making an affidavit to the loss and then recover it by due process through the courts.
 'The law is no doubt a hardship on gamblers, but then if there Is an earnest desire to break up gambling, I believe such a law will accomplish that end. It puts the percentage against the gambler, for if man wins he will pocket his win nings and say nothing, but if he loses he may recover his losses by legal methods"
