ALABAMA AND AUBURN AT OUTS

Auburn, Ala. May 1s--The athletic authorities of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute are out today with state ment answering the Alabama version of the much-taIked of disagreement between Auburn and Alabama regard ing the annual football game between the two colleges the coming fall. The Auburn version of the efforts of the colleges to come to an agreement diff fers materially from the accounts that have been published from Tuscaloosa in the last few days.
 The controversy, which so far in- dicates that here will be no game this fall. hangs on the stipulations of the proposed contract as to the number of men allowed for the trip to Birm- tnghan and the selection of an umpire The recent communication of Tusca- loosa athletic authorities leads one to

tain amount of influence. II he is met
with a churlish reception he does not
easily forget it, and may carry the
memory of his visit clear into the next
convention. 1t is not in the least nee
essary nor advisable to "kotow" to
any man; but a cheerful and polite
greeting is just the kind of a greeting
which any man prefers, and If you fol-
low that rule strictly it is winner in
the end. OF course, your politeness
may be thrown away entirely on some
people. but an undertaking and sin
cere courtesy will in the long run
make friends for your chief and your
self, where a high and mighty" at
titude will lose friends for the man
who put you where you are.
1t is highly essential that secre-
tary should have the common sense
not to be stuck on himself" or on his
position. No one on earth will sense
this quicker than the politicians, and
no one will resent it and treat it with
contempt any more readily. To begin
with, there are some angles OF the
job which three-dollar-a-week Office
boy could attend to with perfect
ease. To sit in a revolving chair and
say the mayor isn't in" or the
mayors in, but he's busy just now"
does not require a very massive intel
lect. But when it comes to the finer
points of the game, when it comes to
the gradations where a man must
be sent to mill" then let the secretary
make good" and do it without any
flourishes.
certainly took keen interest in
my position. No finer place in the
world to study human nature than
there. All day long there was the
constant influx of men, women and
children to see the mayor" to speak
with his honor" and with about 40 or
80 nationalities to choose from, and
with all grades and kinds of these diff
ferent races to meet, it was a study in
mankind which was not attainable in
any other position save in that of the
mayoralty itself
A secretary in this position ought to
be a fair speaker, for it may be that
his chief will be busy when some dele
cation from an outside city must be
met and welcomed, and the secretary
ought to be able to represent the
mayor with some decent amount of
ability. He ought to be a writer of
some force, also, for some of the
mayors mail is turned over to him to
answer, and he should be able to han
die all correspondence turned over to
him in an acceptable manner He
ought to have some knowledge of hui
man nature, and he should be pos
sessed of an iron constitution physic-
ally, for the wear and tear outside the
door is one which will send a frail
man to the hospitals.
Part of the time he may find that
he can sit in his chair and take it
easy. But that is only a very brief
experience. And as for patience, he
ought to be able to give Job a 40-yard
handicap and a running start and then
beat the patriarch in walk. The most
sanguinely ridiculous propositions will
be handed up to him that were ever
dreamed OF, and he must consider
these, and not lose his temper, even
though he knows they must be ruth
lessly turned down"

the absolute maniacs to contend

partments in city hall, and yet the

as l considered, promoted to
the position of mayors secretary.
Many men can fill a position on
the board of local improvements
fairly acceptably, and there is often
at least one strictly ornamental mem
Der on every public board, but as for
a good secretary, that is another
story. The selection of appointees
for the various fair-salaried positions
Is governed to great extent by both
fitness and politics in municipal of
fees, and as civil service reform had
curtailed the mayors appointing pow
ers to comparative handful of offices,
there was keen competition for the
"plums," so-called. But when it came
to the appointing of secretary it was
hands off"
II man sought the place, that was
enough to kill his chances; if delega-
tions went in to intercede for him
they were only injuring his chances.
1t was position, and is always a po-
sition, which the mayor of a large city
fills by strict personal preference. The
secretary must be a man in whom his
chief has confidence and he is usual
ly selected from the ranks OF the
newspaper men. To begin with, he
ought to be a perfect artist in diplo-
macy. In great affairs of state a first
class diplomat is called a genius" in
lesser circles, and especially in poll
tics, "a con man" But to be entirely
honest about it, there is no difference
except in the terms.
Now a 16 years experience in the
law business had fitted me peculiarly
well for this end of the job. | could
look man or delegation squarely in
the eye and say that the mayor was
not in his Office, when he was busy
and could not be disturbed, and make
them believe it. Every once in awhile
l did tell the truth, just to keep my
hand in as to veracity, but if the oc-
casion demanded | could invent with

To be frank, | always preferred to
tell the truth. Not because l claim to
be more naturally truthful than other
men, but because the truth is much
simpler and does not need corrobora-
ton.
There were many varieties Of di-
plomacy necessary in my daily deal
ings with the public. There was the
abrupt style, suitable to some one
who wanted a railroad pass, for in
