FRIDAY. JUNE IF, 1908.
pInmrruHAprs AcHrEvnMENT.

The way in which Birmingham en- tertained the Confederate Veterans during the reunion reflects credit on the State of Alabama. They were ad- mirabIy entertained.
 The whole of Birmingham mani Tested 6 solicitous interest in the old soldiers and especially so in those un- fortunate old veterans who after reach ing Birmingham were unable to pay their own way. The arrangement for the entertainment of this class of sol- diers left nothing to be desired. All had been planned and prepared for them in advance. There was no oc- casion for any of them to spend cent after they reached Birmingham.
 The value of this kindness was doubled by its method of bestowal. The old soldiers were made to feel that they were comforting a favor by accepting the hospitality of their friends. To them went every courtesy that goes to an honored guest. They were made to feel that they were in their brothers house and what they saw was theirs. without the asking.
 No less fine was the courtesy that was extended the more prominent veterans and those who had fared bet ter in a world way. They were made to feel that the door was indeed open and the hand outstretched. There was a manifested effort and 1t was not without success to combat the grow ing tendency at reunions to bring for ward the young people to the exclusion of the old soldiers. This was expected and it was combatted by an intelligent preparation for the comfort and satis- faction of the old soldier.
 The success of Blrmingham's splen- Bid effort at entertainment was att trfbuted to one thing: The whole city made the reunion a personal matter. The city regarded itself as partly re- sponsible for the occasion and for the entertainment of the veterans. It was zach mans business to help.
 Birmingham has an achievement to It's credit of which 1t may be proud in future years.

contesting delegations from the South
 ern States is concerned. as we'll as the
 manner in their selection, there may
 not be much choice between them, but
 that does not change the fact that the convention is to be stocked with Taft supporters and that it will be done
 under the orders of the President.
 Those orders will be carried out to
 the letter, we have no doubt. and large
 ly because the man who issued them
 has the power to both reward and punish. As to those who have been
 SO active in their opposition to Taft and the dictator they may be pardoned at some time in the future if they will show themselves properly contrite and duly repentant for their great sin of having opposed the grand mogul who sits on the throne at Washington, but they win have to be very good indeed If pardon is granted them.
 We know. as The Post says, that ts%tsS NAA@A 0Rg Wctl-pdldnCcQ 1bcpuDti- can politician has warned the Presi- dent that he may go too far, and that his cowboy. hroncho-busting style may endanger the party's success at the polls. but 1t does no good. He is so dominated by his own self-conceit. so wrapped up and overwhelmed by his conception of his own power. in- faliibility and invulnerabnity that he thinks it simply impossible for his man and his policies to be defeated. It is within the bounds of possibility that the action of the Denver convention will bring results that will open his eyes and knock some of the shine off his coneeit. Such things have happened and may happen again. but at present Roosevelt is the government and the Republican party.

Big Appetite and Big Feet.

 Twenty-three pancakes and large sIica of fried ham constituted a mere working sample for Miss Grace Schoo- makers appetite, according to her ernplower, Miss Sarah Peck Judson. keeper of the Judson Inn, at Water town, who is resisting the girls suit for forty-one months wages at slO a month.
 Miss schoomaker, 1t is alleged, woke the boarders with the noise of her feet. which were so big, Miss Judson declares, that she was kept busy hunt ing for shoes to fit them.
 The plaintiff, on the other hand, says she had to sleep in the cellar, work a lawn mower. feed chickens. push a wheelbarrow, make furnace fires and do other things, like a man.
