Powers Large and &ma.I

In the second conference at The Hague 45 powers were represented. All were theoretically equal at the confer ence, but in all truth and reality they were not. Eight were recognized as great powers, and 37 as small powers. The number of great powers is stead fly increasing, however. Five hundred years ago there were but three-the Holy Roman Empire, France and Eng land Later on Spain became great power, but she lacked staying quail ties. The military genius of Gustavus Adolphus made Sweden great power, but after he died Sweden fell out of the first rank. Austria, Germany, Rus sia and a unified Italy were at length added to France and England, and then 100000 veterans at the end of the civil war brought the United States into the company of the strong, and Japan fought her way in through vic tories in two great wars. The list, therefore, stands as follows: England, france, Austria, Germany, Russia, Italy, the United States and Japan eight in all and recognized every where as Great Powers to be consulted in any great conference over great world changes.
 It is believed that China will in the next 20 years become No. g, and Brazil should become No. 10. The latter is, however, equatorial, with Latin tradi- tions, and neither of these is favorable to speedy development. Brazil has a great expanse of territory, and she may wake up enough by 1850 to be- come No. 10.

Hartman Should Be city's Guest

The invitation of the Commercial club to Edward H. Hartman, manag- ing director of the Illinois Central, pre- sented by W. B. Leedy, is good starter. and a further invitation of a semi-official nature should perhaps be sent to MT. Hartman by Mayor Ward. Possibly the Board of Aldermen should act, too, in the matter, for it is all important that the genius of railroad finance should be present when the Illinois Central sends it's first train into Birmingham. President Harahan fills a large space in the public eye in Chicago. He will be warmly welcomed here as one of the great railroad man. agers of the country, but we want Mir. Hartman also because it was he who purchased control of the Central Rail- road of Georgia, thus making it possi- ble to link together in this city tho two systems, and giving the greater Hartman system an outlet on the At lantic and putting it near Pensacola on the gulf.
 Let no stone be left unturned, there fore, to bring here MT. Hartman. He Is the man who can say what the new line to the sea means. He owns it, and his plans concerning it have not yet been unfolded. Possibly he will tell here what he intends to do with it. Birmingham at any rate desires to meet and to greet him and to enter. tain him warmly and hospitably.

THE COST OF LIVING.

From the Washington Post.
 A publication devoted to making known financial and market conditions through out the country has just gleefully in- formed us all that the price of living has gone down. It is cheaper to live now, We are assured by the voice of authority, than 1t has been for thirty-three months. It costs 12 per cent less, saith the scribes, now than 1t did last March to enjoy the same comforts of life.
 That is important if true; but the great mass of householders all over the country will not believe it. It is true, according to the records, that the price of some sixty-odd products, including provisions end textiles, has gone down. But about thirty others have increased, and among these thirty are the ones which people the country over use the most of. For ex- ample, the prices on wheat, corn pota- toes, apples sugar, tea, coal, petroleum, and house rent have gone higher When these commodities are eliminated from the list of the average familys wants, those left, except clothing and meats, are not greatly important Clothing, it Is true, has slightly decreased in price, and the cost of meats to the dealers has been reduced. But the actual consumers have not yet felt any difference in their meat bills. They read that the price on porter house steaks has been cut 8 cents on the pound, upon a particular date, and all the market quotations so publish It. but when the housewife gets to the butcher shop that day she pays the old rate for her porterhouse steaks, just as if there had been no reduction.
 AS matter of fact. while it is no doubt correct to say that the cost of commoa- ities, figured upon the average of their number, is 12 per cent lower than last year, it is incorrect to report the cost of living as lower. If anything, 1t has gone up. But sol ong as times are good and wages high and work plentiful the people will not mind. Only, they don't like any effort to gull them into believing that they are getting something for nothing just because it makes good electioneering literature at about this time.

"Made In Birmingham District"

The organized movement in favor of Alabama people and Alabama stuff has, The Age-Herald is glad to state, been widened so that it includes the entire Birmingham district A diamond-shaped design in blue will bear the words Alabama Product. Made in Birming- ham District" This will be pasted on, stamped on or otherwise put on every article made in this district The Steel corporation should be asked to put it on the rails it turns out and our foun- dries should cause their holders to put it on every sugar mill or engine built here. Even our boilermakers should use the diamond-shaped design.
 Forty of our manufacturers recently met at the Commercial club, and the meeting to be held today should be attended by twice that number. Our makers of paving bricks should attend the meeting, and so should our stove makers, and our trunkmakers, and even our broom and hosierymakers- all should attend and pull together to keep the money of the district at home so far as such a scheme is possible in a national society.
 Our manufacturers are entitled to home money, and so are our home merchants. Development becomes pos sible when home products and home stores are sought by home people Home money spent at home does double duty at least.

MANS MOOD FOR SONG.
Belloe in London Post.

H. Belloe in London Post.
 Sailors sing. They have a song for work and songs for every part of their work, and they have songs of reminis- cence and of tragedy, and many farccal songs; some brutal songs, songs of repose and songs in which is packed the desire for distant home. Soldiers also sing. at least in those armies where soldiers are soldiers. And the line, which is the core and body of any army, is the most singing of them all. Those men who marched behind Caesar in his triumph sang a song and the words of it still remain (so I am told); the armies of Louis XIV and of Napoleon, of the re- public and even of Algiers, made songs of their own which have passed into the great treasury of European letters
 They sang in that march which led men to the assault at Hastings for 1t was written by those who saw the column of knights advancing to the foot of the hill that Taillefer was chosen for his great voice and rode before the host tossing his sword into the air and catching it again by the hilt Ca difficult thing to dol, and singing of Charemagne and of the VaSSalS who had dled unuer RoHces- valles.
 Song also Eliminates and strengthens and vivifies all common life, and on this account what is left of our peasantry have harvest songs, and there are songs for moving and songs for the mdwinter rest, and there is even a song in the south of England for the gathering of honey.
 Indeed, all men sing. at their labor, or would so sing did not dead convention for bid them. You will say there are excep- tions, as lawyers, usurers and others; but there are no exceptions to this rule where all the man is working and is working well and is producing and is not ashamed. Rowers sing, and their song is called barcarole; and even men hold ing the tiller who have nothing to do but hold it tend to sing a song. And will swear to this, that I have heard stokers when they were harQ pressed starting a sort of crooning chorus to- getller, which shows that there is hope for us all

mated from the emergency problem it is doubtful whether there are enough state, county and city bonds available to support the proposed additional cir eulation, namely $500, 100000.
 The entire bill has small reference to the prevention of a panic. It is q weak piece of patchwork intended to help the east out of a panic after it has occurred. A new amendment pro vides that not more than $9,000OO0 of an emergency circulation shall be with drawn in the course of a single month. It would take, therefore, about five years to get rid of the maximum sum named in the Aldrich bill. and 1t would be taxed all the while heavily. All in all, the bill Is delusion and snare. and the comfort is that the House will probably sit down on 1t despite the Big Stick. The south and the west can vote the wretched makeshift down "a makeshift that is a compound of campaign cunning and eastern avarice

Travellna Man Cheerful.

Some travelling men say they find busi- ness on the road dull, but am agreeably surprised at my trade" said Edgar Cur rier of New York who is registered at the Morris hotel.
 T am the southern representative of number of manufacturers of knit goods, and visit all the cities. After spending a few days in Norfolk, where I made large sales, I worked my way through North Carolina. South. Carolina and portion of Georgia. In Charleston I did record breaking business. In Savannah trade was somewhat quiet as compared with last year, but in Augusta my sales were far ahead of 1907 l did not stop in At lanta; will visit that city on my return east.
 "On leaving Georgia I proceeded to Montgomery, where I found conditions first class. From Montgomery I came to Birmingham, and will remain here until next week. I have always found trade in my line very brisk here, and l will do a good volume of business before I leave this time
 "All in all have every reason to feel cNS the best it will be one of the best. I go from here to Tennessee, and will work along in southwesterly course until l reach Texas"

Partial To Birmingham.

R. Brinkley snowden and T. O. Vinton, well-known business men of Memphis, after spending several days here this week, have returned home. MT. Snowden is yet young man but he is one of the most philosophical and enterprising cit izens of Memphis. He is a capitalist and has just completed a s60o,00O addition to the Peabody hotel He Is all the while doing something for the upbuilding of the Bluff City. MT. Snowden has large in vestments in Birmingham and as he is especially partial to this city his inter- ests here are almost sure to be increased.
 "I think a. great deal of Birmingham, V said MT. Snowden, and the oftener come here the better l like 1t. This is already a great city and 1t offers eKcep- tional opportunities for business invest ments. It will continue to grow fast and it is certain to become one of the largest cities in the country

RAILROAD FOES DISAPPEARING.

From the New York Evening Telegram.
 'The ,anti-railroad feeling in the south ern states, which was evinced in legisla- ton directed to cutting down rates and the like, is disappearing" said w. B.
 Reynolds of Birmingham, Ala, at the Hotel 0mperial. There has been a de- o.ded reaction and business men are now saying that it is not wise for the states to try to cut into the railroads profits, but rather there should be encouragement of extension of lines and improvement in service I am no railroad man and hold TO brief for any transportation company, but I will cite concrete case to show what railroads can do toward developing an industry. There was a tract of coal land-21,0O acres-near Birmingham, which sold within two years three times, the first price being s2S0,0O0 and the last $1, ,OOO. This was due in large part to the fact that the Southern and Louisville and Nashville built spurs, one twelve miles long and the other eighteen miles, to connect the property with the main routes By the way, the output of coal in Alabama last year was twelve mil lion tons, which put us fourth in the list of coal producing states in the union.

Bank Saloon Corner.

Two steel frame buildings will be in course of construction here between now and June and a third will possibly be started before the end of the year. Bir mingham has already four steel office buildings and two or three additional structures of this class will make a fine showing for the progress of the city in an off year
 Referring to a statement published in an afternoon paper that work will be commenced May 1 on the new office building to be erected on the northwest corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, known as the Bank sa- loon corner," Robert Jemison, Jr., said last night: T have made no such state ment and as am the agent for the Elm pre Construction company, which owns the property referred to, no building plans would be made without my knowl- edge. The fact is nothing has been de- cided on regarding a sl<yscraper for the Bank saloon corner. Just as soon as anything is doing l will be only too glad to make 1t public"

Amendinu the AlCrich 6ijI

Under no circumstances would Sen ator Aldrich or his advisers consent to an amendment that injured in the least Wall street, no matter how just it might be, or how much it would benefit the rest of the country This was plainly shown when the Aldrich finance con- mittee rejected Senator Johnston s wholly reasonable amendment for keep ing portion of the 15-per-cent reserve at home instead of hurryfng it to New York to be used there in stock and cot ton gambling.
 The entire bill is drawn in the inter- est of the gambling east, for that is the section which is loaded up with state, county and city bonds. Under the new amendment railroad bonds would be cut out as basis of emer- gency circulation. This does not hurt the east, for it holds an abundance o1 state, county and city bonds whiih with national bonds are to be the ba Is of an emergency circulation if II he pending bill becomes law

WONDERFUL DANCER.
Genee Has Reached Perfection In a
 Difficult Art.

From the New York Press.
 Genee is the first to relieve an audience of seeing a woman poised on her toes. It seems to be the ambition of every girl making pretense as dancer to cross the stage without touching heel to the floor. but with the single exception of Genee all who have accomplished the feat have aroused feeling of sympathy. Lightness has been missing from their efforts and always they have suggested physical suf- fering. Even the repeated assurance that the trick is easily turned does not ease the audience in its sympathy for the av- craze toe dancer. But Genee Is as light on her toes as when treadng naturally She never mars the impression she IS finding enjoyment In her work; she moves with the ease and airiness of a fairy And she does not surfeit spectators with this toe business, which Is not altogether satisfying at best. It is only one item in what might he called her repertory She is rich in variety. She is constantly changing her steps, and she possesses the crowning virtue of depending not alone on her feet for the telling of story but of employing her wiry frame, her thin, tapering arms, her slender hands and her piquant, animated little face.
 Genee Is different to the common run of dancers, as we know them in that as at were. she does not carry her brains in her feet. She is as much mistress of the art of gesture of the art of step ping out the mazes of an intricate dance. Recognition was paid her in this respect In London when she was set as the prin- cipal figure in many brief pantomimes She gives one touch of real pantomime in "The Soul Kiss" when she dsports herself in the breezy spirit of the hunt ing field. It is the best thing she does, and it makes 1t imperative that more of this side of her be revealed.

The Iron Market.

While some iron is being sold this week for s12.75 and even lower, several of the furnace companies are still quoting $1S and are making small sales at that price, With anything like substantial buying movement it Is believed the price would harden at SIS and quickly go up again to $13.50, the quotation maintained by the large concerns in January.
 "We struck low water mark with a dull, cold thud sometime last November or December" say Matthew Addy 6 Co.,, and ever since the beginning of this year the iron trade has been retivins taking as the standard the amount of iron melted. Judged by the fact that the con- sumption of iron is steadily increasing not rapidly but slowly and surely-things are improving

SUCCESS" IN NEWSPAPER WORK

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 Turning this week to the ever moral pages of Harper's Weekly, we learn how to succeed in tine newspaper business Ed ward Hungerford teaches us by parable. cub reporter in a New York country town is sent by his city editor to get an interview with Sir Charles Beresford, whose train stops there. The cub returns with a commonplace article for his own paper, holds out the only real news ob- tained from Sir Charles and telegraphs it to a big metropolitan journal. As a re- suit the metropolitan editor gives him a job, and today he sits close to it's managing editors desk and drawing q salary Of more than $5OOO year.
 In other words, this young man is held up as a model because he sold to a rival concern the valuable commodity of news which his home employer was paying him to gather. Incidentally he broke the fuu- damental law of newspaper honor-loyalty to a mans own paper. We should think this hopeful product would indeed 'slt close to the managing editors degk. u they don't watch him pretty Carefully ne is likely to sell out his own paper o04ln1
