JEFFERSON DAVIS.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Time has proved such benefcient heal CT of wounds that the statue of Jefferson Davis was unveiled at Richmond last week without heartburnings in the north. It Is quite possible now for northern his torian-James Ford Rhodes-to write that in Davis, Lincoln found worthy foe man."
 comparison between the two leaders at once suggests itself The parallel Is closer than the average person supposes. Both were born In Kentucky. One moved north, the other south. Both served in the United States Congress, though the southerner was the far more famous be- fore the war, as he was also the far more cultured and educated of the two. It fell to each to head a government under the stress of a protracted armed struggle Each became practically a dictator and each was the object of severe criticism from his own people. Curiously enough each had a bitter family sorrow; Lincoln III tne uedln lTOu uiStdSe Ol HIS l6-yedT- old son, "willie;" Davis from the acci- dental and fatal fall of his romping boy Joseph. Each proved masterful under the most grievous strain and each held out undaunted to the end.
 AS Lincoln had his Governor Seymour to contend with, so Davis had his gov ernors, Vance and Brown. Besides, the oe his vice president Alexander Stephens who was telling his f1ends in 1863 that "our Presidens is aiming at -he obtain ment of power 'uconsiaeent with public liberty" Both executives found the Con- gr@s difficult to Ic:l with. And it YVES here that Lincoln showed hmself a letter master of men han the inrerious Missis- sippian. With ois infinite test and self effacement he dou,'na.5I the situation m the north. Davis was less successful in dealing with men liAe Van @ and Brown and with the Confederate Congress. He had the courage 70 teluse tc appoint Sem ator Yancey's sandidntc {, bs postmas- ter at Montgomery, and to write T oe- cline to yield to the Jcta.ion from Ser-
 
 such insistence was ,l timed while war was In progress.
 It can hardly be denied that 10 in- coin belonged 2 1.agnanlmity as well as a tact that exceeded his chief opponents Does any man 'iragire," Davis asked in October. 1864. "that we car conquer tho Yankees by retrea.Ins befors them, or do you not all knew that rhe only wey to make spaniels civil is to whip them?" Compare thls with Lincoln's famous sec ond inaugural declaration, beginning. With malice toward none with charity toward all" There an essential difference between the men becomes evident. Davis was a man of high courage. of great OK ecutive ability and indomitable will. He did not attain to the moral height of Lincoln--or of Lee.

War is Impossible

Scarcely anything in the popular mind is more incredible than the re- port that Japan and the United States are to go to war. We started Japan on her new course. It was our Com modore Perry who made Modern Japan possible, and every intelligent man knows that Japan is needed to safe guard untold millions in China from lue suffering that would follow divis- lon of that vast country among the European powers.
 A war with Japan! Nonsense. A vast ocean seven thousand miles wide rolls between. We could not go to Japan with any chances of success In capturing Japanese ports or of holding the Philippines, and Japan could not sail across that vast sea with coal and supplies enough left to admit of az gressive action along our Pacific coast She could not even take the Hawaiian group. Neither side could approach the other, and as neither side has much commerce afloat neither side could win much glory. Neither side will. therefore, do anything to bring on ia war. There will be none. ! The latest published table shows that we have the most ships, as fol lows:

poas on the Streets.

q think something should be done to rid the streets of this city of the pack of worthless dogs that chase after riders on bicycles, automobiles and the fire de- partment," said man in discussing pub lie nulsances.
 Tt was only this evening I saw one of these snappish CUTS cause a bicycle rider to get a severe fall, and a little later when the horses were in full gallop going to a fire these dogs ran In front, barking at the horses and very nearly causing them to stumble. A horse nat urally tries to avoid trampling on an- other animal, especially on a dog, and in so doing may throw himself down and sustain serious injury. If these dogs served any good purpose there could be some excuse for them. but they are neither watch dogs nor lap dogs, but simply yellow dogs, a source of danger as well as a nuisance.
 'I read in an English paper few days ago about a man who recovered big damages in law suit for injuries he received by being thrown from his bicycle in the wheel of which hen got entangled, but if one of these street dogs causes a man to fall and be injured he has no redress, as there is either no owner of the dog or else the owner is worth nothing.
 Every dog in the city should be tagged with the owners name and if that dog is caught running after horses or ve- hicles the owner should be fined. l don't think the mere fact of paying license for dog should allow him to chase and snap at people passing along the streets '

CRIME IN BIRMINGHAM.
n the Ashvllle Southern Aegis.

From the AshVlIIe Southern Aegls.
 Burr Blackburn has an able article in Mondays Age-Herald, June 10 on "Is Birmingham a City of Murder and Crimes?" The article Is also an able de- fense of Birmingham as the mur of the south. Now If Birmingham get rid of its dens where crimes cocted it would not need to ha its danger signals We believe has seen worse days than 1t see as shown by its criminal record.

STATE MOURNS FOR MORGAN

or emolument He was a great man and a good man.
 Anniston Star: In Anniston and Cal houn county the death of Morgan becomes a local bereavement. In his early life Senator Morgan lived in Calhoun and in this county he commenced the study of law. In later years Senator Morgan was a frequent visitor to Anniston, and many people in this city and county were his warm personal friends
 Greenville Living Truth: In the death of Senator Morgan not only has the state of Alabama suffered a great loss. but the whole United States mourns I man as far above the ordinary as the heavens are above the earth. During his long service in the Senate his honesty of purpose was never called into question, and amid the galaxy of the brightest minds of the world his was easily the brightest.
 Clio Free Press The death of Senator Morgan, which occurred in Washington Tuesday night. will be most keenly felt by all patriotic Alabamfans, wherever situated, who love to see a man of bril- lance and brains reflect honor upon the state which honors him, and by his un- swerving sense of honor and obligation to duty compels the whole-souled admir- ation of the country at large.
 His death Is not Alabama's loss alone. and while she is in sackcloth and ashes she will receive the sympathy of the en- tire people of the United States who have watched with interest this venerable statesman who served his country honor ably for over half century
 Dadeville Spot Cash: Thus ends the ca- reer of Alabamas foremost citizen. He was great a soldier and statesman. and leaves behind him stainless public and private record. No man has ever be- fore so completely heid the public con- fidence as has Senator Morgan, and Ala banla has lost her grandest man.
 Eufaula Times: Senator John T. Morgan died on Tuesday. A great man has been taken away from public life who had served the people of Alabama in the sen- ate for thirty years. Not citizen of the state, rich or poor who will not regret the death of this great and good man.

Rirmlnuham,s Progress.

The Rev. Father Kerrigan, principal of the McGill institute of Mobile, but at one time assistant to the pastor of St. Pauls church in Birmingham. Is spending few days here. He will celebrate high mass at St. Paul's tomorrow.
 Since living in Mobile I have visited Birmingham frequently, but my trips have been hurried, and this Is one of the few times that I have been able to look around and remark the great improve ments," said Father Kerrigan. "Birming- ham has grown very much. When I first came here four or five years ago the city was pushing ahead, and was getting to be metropolitan, but it was nothing then in comparison with what it is today. One who has been away from Birming ham for while naturally appreciates the strides it is making more readily than the people who remain here"

While at the Jamestown exposition I had the pleasure of seeing Moretti's sculp- ture exhibit said the Rev. Father Ken nedy, formerly of Birmingham and Ensley but now of Pensacola.
 "It is a fine display and seemed to be generally appreciated. It is greatly to the credit of Alabama's resources that such beautiful marble is quarried in this state as was used in these works of art"

THE LAND OF DREAMS.

LIE LAND EOf DhEAMS. The beautiful land of dreams lies OCT The blue, incircling hills, land where blooming flowers strew The banks of flashing rills And soft airs move through leafy boughs That shield a bit of sod. Where man may lie at ease and hold Communion with his God. No sound of worldly strife is heard, Contentment rules supreme, Intuned to rarest harmonies Of bird and bee and stream. A perfume luils the soul to rest, While fancy speeds the day And mortal eyes may catch a glimpse Of brightness far away. glimpse of life above the slow And needless tide of men, Content to take a pittance that Is hardly earned and then Depart into the shadows, bent With weary years of toll, Poor galley slaves of circumstance And creatures of the soil.  Iris June, all right" says the Louis vile Courier J ournal. speaking like a poet A Birmingham burglar got away with four cork legs the other night but not on the four cork legs.
 FOR DETECTION Sometimes. when we are feeling blue, And there's no good in what we do, A wondrous help it is to find A comrade in a frame of mind To second us In every sigh And paint the world deeper dye. But sweeter 'tis to run across Some chap who's never. at a loss For ready smilee and words of cheer To make us glad we're living here. If Steve Adams looks anything like his pictures he is bad egg. 'Don'ts for Tourists are going the rounds We'll add one. If you haven't the price, don't go.
