After all, there is little for us actors to say about drama It is you who patron ize the theatres to tell what you would have us do and we must obey. As Dr.. Johnson once said:
 TO dramas laws and dramas patrons
 give,
 For we that live to please. must please to
 live"
 The actor must go to the patron to get advice, for 1t is he who says: Here are life's problems and criticisms; here Is a human portrait we love; here is a character to shun; here Is poem reveal ing beauty and love and life. Here they are Recreate them, vivify them; make them live before our eyes that we may profit by their example and fate. We want to laugh at the foibles, weep with the sorrow, and criticize the actions of the men and women of this mimic world, which you, kind player, must reveal to us.'
 Now, what kind of life. what kind of characters for the stage, what drama, per se will you have? It is well-knoWn axiom of the stage, that the so-termed actors drama"-the drama the player himself prefers-is not the play of the public What, then, do you who repre- sent the intelligent patron of the the atre, desire? I think l know. What does the representative, normal mind crave for theatrical entertainment? My answer is based on experience with the public and observations of its tastes.
 First of all, you seem to want drama of humanity. By that l mean play con taining characters one meets in this life of today, characters that have the same kind of heart throbs, the same kind Of tears the same kind of love- and the same genuine laughter that you and l have. Plays must be peopled with human be- ings. And you prefer, I have observed, the human beings that live next door, or around the corner. or those you have seen working In the fields or in the shops or in factories. Some might live in pal aces some in cottages or huts. Some might work with hands and heart, some

epigram and brilliant wit cannot make successful drama if a wholesome. human element be lacking. You have seen play after play of the vulgar or salacious kind perish after a mere ephemeral flash of monetary success. What drama ever endured that depended upon sensation or morbidity to attract? The healthy mind my friends. is as dominant in the theatre as much as goodness is dominant In the world.
 The first and most essential element for successful drama is humanityi We must have some smiles and a few tears because life you know. is not all smiles and we have agreed that drama must portray life Secondly, a drama. to enjoy prosperity and lasting popularity. must convey sermon or teach a lesson The drama is fine, eloquent force for good and it must have message. To me the most potent message in life today Is the message of love
 One goes to the theatre, I know. to be amused. to forget the strife and struggle of our poor existence. But he goes also for thought and reflection. Let us then have both laughter and tears in our drama.
 Your evening in the theatre has been well spent, indeed, If you have been amused. and If you leave 1t feeling better toward humanity. The brotherhood of man makes a pretty fine creed. Laughter and tearsi The laughter will tonic you, and the tears will chasten. Then the message has been delivered. The author and actor has served
  "To wake the soul by tender strokes of
 art
 To raise the genius and to mend the heart To make the mankind in conscious virtue
 bold,
 Live OCT each scene and be what they
 behold;
 For this the tragic muse first trod the
 stage
 Commanding tears to stream through
 every age"

roads.
 Question of Maintenance.
 After the construction of a good road, the question of maintenance is one to be considered, and is generally misunder- stood. It costs much more to use a bad road than it does to maintain a good road. The annual tax which the individual pays to the city, county or state for the main tenance of a good road is less than the indirect cost account of using bad roads. On a good road the farmer starts and makes 9 trip with a heavy load and single team in all kinds of weather with out delay or expense, enabling him to take advantage of the best price for his product. This Is not only good for the farmer, but equally advantageous to the town, as anything that adds to the pros perity of the farmer adds to the pros perity of the community. If there were no farms there would be no towns.
 Bad roads and bad weather shut off communication between the farms and the towns, and when the weather and bad roads permit the farmers to reach the markets and resume their deliveries, they usually find glutted markets and low prices. The necessity of only hauling half loads by reason of mud holes, causing broken axles and damage to harness ana teams accounts for the enormous loss to the entire country, as given by the de- partment of agriculture, of more than $250,OO0,0O0 annually. These disadvantages are indirect taxes on the farmers and paid for by the communities for main talning poor roads. The saving result ing from building good roads would be much more, to say nothing of the com fort, enhanced values, greater develop ment and the less cost of maintaining good roads after they are constructed.
 The basic principle is the same on all modes of transportation. The farmer who must haul over bad roads Is up against the same difficulty as the railroad com pany operating a poorly constructed rail road. Both pay the same penalty.
 To reduce the cost of transportation of a poor railroad, the first work is to drain and ballast the roadbed, strengthen the bridges and renew decayed ties saving damage caused by derailments and rough usage, the results of which are broken engines and cars.
 A railroad must pay interest for money to make these Improvements, but when the improvements are made the saving in maintenance and operation offset by saving delays and damage to equipment, and in improved service to the public.
 The investment in good public highways comes back to the communities they serve in the same manner. There are no argu- ments against the making of good roads. It is simply a business proposition, and the question for each state to consider is the best method of financing and im- proving their public highways with sys- tematic business organization for their maintenance

 Underwood Speaks Next.
 Congressman Oscar w. Underwood was recognized and said: Several years ago the question before the advocates of good roads was to arouse enthusiasm and cre- ate sentiment.
 ''This time is past, Enthusiasm is already aroused. The people of this state, stirred to action, have adopted "a gooo roads amendment and practically in structed their legislature to give them legislation. Therefore I move that con- mittee on resolutions be appointed to ex- press our desires.
 This resolution was adopted unani- mously.
 John W. Overton, chairman or the cam paign committee, made his report, nrst complimenting Birmingham for its spirit. He told of the fight to submit the con- stitutional amendment that the people of Alabama ratified by an overwhelming ma jority We adopted a means by which we can get aid. Now what next? We must elect a legislature that will give us a department of good roads that will go into the rural counties, help them build roads, and show them how.
 ''If you put it up to the people of Ala hama they will elect legislature that will go there and enact laws and appro- priate money that will give Alabama in m years the best road system in the south.
 Committee Named.
 "Everv man here is entitled to great credit for having fought for this issue :" He prophesied that soon federal aid would be secured and the whole country become a network of fine roads.
 The following committee on resolutions was announced:
 Oscar w. Underwood, John w. Overton, J. H. Banlhead, from the state at large, and from the first district, H. K. Winner; second district, John Gamble; third dis trict, H. M. Wilson; fourth district, w. T. Atkins: fifth district A. J. Driver; sixth district, Judge Hudgins; seventh district, John l.. Burnett; eighth district, w. E.. Skeggs ninth district, w. M. Drennen.
 Senator Johnston Talks.
 Senator Joseph T. Johnston was next introduced We may differ about some issues in Alabama but whether a man be fat or lean, poor or rich, drunk or sober. we can unite on good roads. He impressed the convention with the impor- tance of stopping the great influx of countrymen to the cities He said that more than 20 years ago he had made d speech on good roads, and had never since changed his views
 The Senator then told of his recent visi. to Europe and the magnificenS system of good roads over there.
 Congressman Burnett told of the good roads in his county and indorsed the work of the pathfnders. He was glad that Bir- mingham is beginning to realize the value of her sister city, which is working for the rpbuildlng of the whole state. He told a number of amusing stories, and noting a hungry expression on the faces of his audience cut his talk short to allow adjournment.
