The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-16

Many of these girls have been sent to Boston, New York and San Francisco to adorn homes. to be good wives, moth CTS and citizens. They resent the idea that because they are brown of skin men feel free to ap- proach them with any idea of famil- iarity.
 These girls would no sooner think of
 dancing the hula than would our refined
 American girls think of dancing the can-
 can for strangers who happened to our
 shores.
 Yet it is difficult to convince the Amer ican youth of the clean, fine standards
 which these young women have set for
 themselves. Because on these islands
 may be found the class of women which
 exist everywhere, the tourist of certain
 type presumes to imagine that all the
 brown-skinned women belong to that class.
 The Hawaiian girl today is no longer "a type, she is a woman with ideals aspirations, ambitions and moral staad- ards.
 All hail to the New Hawaiian Girll She belongs to our new territory of tha United States, and she should be treated with all the respect which she is entitled 1 to.
 All hail to the New Hawaiian Girl,

Unemployed Union Labor

The June Bulletin of the department of labor of the state of New York brings some actual figures of the de- precision from which the country is now emerging. These figures relate to the first quarter of the year only. In that quarter 101 ,466 union members in New York state had no work at all, while 271,1SS had some work and re- ported it. There was loss of 39.2 per cent of possible working time in the quarter. The workers in the building transportation, clothing, metals and printing trades suffered severely, over 20,000 in each of them being idle.
 These figures establish in New York state a new record among union work CTS. So great was the lack of employ ment in the first quarter of the year that many union men were unable to pay their dues, and the membership declined to the extent of 3S,210. This loss was chiefly in New York city, but it extended to all the other industrial centers of the state. There are 25 trades in New York state, each of which has membership of 4000 or pnora and all h11t fha oootuokarc apd trainmen lost members in the first quarter of the year. Under the stress of unemployment and shortened in- come all lost members except the two mentioned. These facts are interest ing to organized labor at any rate, and doubtless so to all students of econom- ic questions.

WHY BISHOPS ARE FAT.
Neral UpIift Helped by Expansiveness
 of Person.

From the Boston Transcript.
 In MT. Oliver Herford's Simple Jog raphy." beginning at the first verse of the fifth chapter, I read: Some people are sensitive about their ages. The earth has never told us hers. Rude scientists, after careful examination, declare she can't be a day under 5,OOo,OOO years old. Theologians, ever tactful in feminine mat ters, set her down as Shrinking Young Thing of barely 4O00 summers. Perhaps this may explain why bishops are usually fat and biologists lean"
 Though entertaining a rather mild af- lection for Mir Herford, considered as a philosopher, I feel called upon to differ with him this time. He admits degree of teleology not countenanced by the best sages. I don't dispute his observation; bishops are almost without exception fat and biologists almost without excep- ton lean; but I take the liberty of as- serting that he has foozled in his ap- proach to the phenomenon. In my opin- ion it Is not because a man is a bishop that he becomes fat; it is because he IS fat that he becomes a bishop. It is not because a man is biologist that he be- comes lean; it is because he is lean that he becomes a biologist.
 Patience please, intend no slight upon bishops I honor them in good faith, just as I honor the lesser clergy. l am only contending that fatness leads to hie- rarchic eminence, as is only natural As A rule we insist that our spiritual advis- CTS should bulk big upon the retina. In the geometry of the faith, a large infiu- ence over masses of men-pulptt inf1u- ence, I mean-presupposes eXpansiveness of person. This is why preachers wear gowns, or why they ought to. Given the same sermon, delivered on the one hand by the Rev. T. Skimpole Spindleshanks and on the other by the Rev. Portley 5. Heavyweight, and far more magnln- cent uplifht will accrue in the sec ond instance than in the first And while gowns create an illusion of girth, a fine fat priest will outdo any amount of mere robe. He will be taken at his true worth If a man of unusual lm- pressiveness, in other points also, he will be made bishop. I don't insist that the case is especially fiattering to laymen. l only insist that the lay mind works that | way. Indeed, will go a step further and l declare that clergymen themselves are | prone, allis paribus, to advance their more ''hefty'' brethren.

ALABAMA MINERS STRIKE

at Birmingham a resolution was adopted declaring that there was no question for arbitration, which seems to be the latest demand, and that the mines would be op- erated lon the open shop plan." The ex- citement is such that business has been at standstill in some of the mining sec- tions, and merchants and bankers are urging the governor to take drastic steps to bring the strike to an end"
 There is but one proper way for officers of the law in a civilized community to bring such strike to an end, and that is to preserve order and protect the law full rights of person and property. Miners have a right to refuse to work, but they have no right to interfere with the prop may be willing to work in their place. These may be called strike breakers or 'scabs," but they may not be attacked or abused without a violation of rights in which they should be protected. When or ganized labor shall learn to act in sub mission to law and to respect the rights spect for it's legitimate objects, but so long as it seeks to enforce its demands by violence and crime it will strengthen tho idea that it is a dangerous factor and that the only safety is in the open shop or the prevalence of nonunion labor.

secure. No question Is made as to this.
 But there are those who bring up at this juncture our common weak hu- manity, of which Poe had more than his share. What have his fraiIties to do with his standing In literature at this late day? The Father of his coun- try is said to have had a few faults also, but no one brings them up agalnsr him today. Poe's memory should be treated in a like manner. Poe's nor ality and literary genius should no more be linked together than are Washington's personal shortcomings and his glorious services to his coun- try.
 Richmond should rise out of it's rut ito consider what Poe did for our early literature, not his personal shortcom- ings. His gifts are a legacy to the American people. Both his prose and his poetry promise to live as long as the republic does, and Richmond has no call to make his memorial depend upon his weaknesses and whims.

Criminal careIessness.

"The negro's criminal disregard for public safety in the matter of isolating infectious diseases is often commented on by public officials and physicians, but this sort of carelessness is not confined to that race" said a suburban citizen yesterday.
 ITO my certain knowledge there are many white people of the middle and lower classes who have absolutely no regard for the safety of their own chil- dren or those of their neighbors.
 'I have seen them, mothers who should appreciate the danger of contagion, send their children who have been exposed to infectious diseases, into the homes of their neighbors, where there are children who are therby endangered.
 q have even seen these children allowed to run at large on the streets and over the neighborhood with the germs and fever of some unwelcome disease still in their systems.
 "These acts of carelessness are es- pecially noticeable in the suburban places, where everybody knows everybody and there is more or less neighborly in- tercourse, especially among the children.
 q cannot believe that this is the result of thougntlessness in every instance. It looks more like criminal mischief, and there should be some way to check it.
 'Just now it is reported that there are a few cases of scarlet fever and diph- theria in several sections of the commun- ity, and those infected or liable to be should be careful to avoid a spread of the diseases.-

Equipment of the Railroads

When activity in general trade again becomes normal the demand for freight cars will rise with a rapidity only equaled only by the rate at which 1t shrinks in period of depression. If the growing crops meet public expec- tation this return of activity may be near at hand. When it does come, be it soon or late, it will be met by shortage of cars, simply because in the present calendar year 100 900 of them have been worn out and de- stroyed in service during the year, and they have not been replaced be- cause the railroads could not borrow enough to keep damaged cars in re- pair and to replace destroyed cars.
 The car waste of a year should be made good whether trade be active or the reverse, else the want of cars will be severely felt when activity is resumed. Cars cannot be built in day, and large order is rarely filled in years time. All this has refer ence solely to the keeping of equip ment unimpaired, having no reference to the wisdom of keeping pace with the normal average increase in the demand for transportation services.
 It is, of course, unnecessary, to cross a bridge until We come to it, but it will be strange indeed if the people do not feel this winter the lack of the 100000 cars which have not been re- placed during the depression that Oc- tober ushered in.

Catching Trains.

''In watching people, especially women running to catch trains pulling out of the Terminal station I have wondered why these tardy passengers did not al- low themselves little more margin when they started for the station," said a rail- road man last night.
 There is hardly train leaving during the daytime that does not carry away passengers who had to run to get aboard while the train was in motion. This is dangerous, of course.
 "I have been about railroad stations for many years and I account for some of the apparent tardiness of passengers at the Terminal station in this way: Those who were used to making trains at the Louisville and Nashville's union passenger station had only short dis tance to walk from the time they en- tered the building until they stepped on the train, whereas the distance Is con- siderable from the entrance of the Ter minal station to a train standing on one of the far tracks At the old station, for the mere matter of covering the distance, one minute was ample margin. At the Terminal at least two minutes should be allowed for margin-three would render it more comfortable.
 q saw a lady with two small children miss the Southern train this afternoon. The train was pulling out as the lady was settling for her ticket at the ticket office. When she hurried with her little ones to the gate the train was moving only at small speed. Had it been at the old station the lady and children. with the assistance of the porter, could have caught the train Only three seconds would have been required. But with the greater distance at the new station there was not time enough, and 1t would have been useless to have made the attempt. People going away on trains should, in the first place, have access to correct time pieces, and in the next place they should schedule themselves properly, making ample allowance, If a street car is to be used for hitches and delays"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-16
Prohibition Resolutions.

T noticed in the evening papers a set of resolutions adopted at a recent meet ing of the Masonic convention of the Eighth Congressional district. indorsing the prohibition movement in the state of Alabama said a prominent member of the order. The resolution occurred to me as being unusual to say the least, and in my opinion without Masonic authority. The district conventions were instituted for the purpose of Masonic instruction, and while matters of general interest are often discussed, 1t seems to me that the resolutions should not have been offered, for, should the necessity arise, the body Of the Grand Lodge is the proper place for such action.
 Masonry has always taught temper ance. It is one of the cardinal virtues. and no one can take the degrees without having the necessity of temperance inl- pressed upon him. Another lesson is also taught that Masonry will not admit of anything of a sectarian or political nature to be injected into it's meeting. At this time, when the prohibition question is a vital issue, it seems to me that the con-
 
 usages and customs of the fraternity in indorsing a movement that is somewhat political in its nature, no matter how meritorous the question at issue may be.
 More than one prominent secret organ ization has been wrecked and its useful ness destroyed through the injection of politics, and several times in years long ago the Masonic fraternity itself had been the subject of political dissension. While l do not question the sincerity of the brethren in passing the resolution, I think at this time 1t was ill-advised and if at A future meeting the majority of the mem ners were in favor of Christian Science they would have as much right to pass resolutions indorsing Mrs. Eddy as they had to pass the resolutions on prohibition. The boast of Masonry is its universalitv, and any movement that departs from the ancient land marks should not be en- couraged."

APPEARANCES WE'RE DECMTFUL

From the New York Times.
 "One day down in Texas" said a CIVIL engineer, q was sitting on the porch or my hotel with a fresh youngster from the north. On his right sat a plain old man smoking a cob pipe with the kernels left on it.
 "'Ye gods,' said my friend. what do you think of that for nerve. Sitting right up against gentleman and puffing his cid dope right into my face. Here, you' clear out with that pipe. Move clear over on the other side, so the smoke won't t blow this way You are making nuis- ance of yourself
 "'All right said the old man, meekiy. I'll move
 "IIe did so. John, said I, do you know who that old gentleman is you talked 10 like that?
 "'Nope; don't know and don't care
 ..'That is the governor of Texas II really was.'
