To Prove and Strengthen Us.

All providences are doors to trials
Even our mercies, like roses, have
their thorns. Our mountains are not
too high and our valleys are not toe

roads. Everywhere, above and be.

with dangers. Yet no shower fallI
unpermitted from the threatening
cloud; every drop has its order ere Il
hastens to the earth. The triali

tened upon their spells It is becoming more like a "personal natter with many of us down this way and out West, where there has been a large growth of infant industries in the last few years. Andy Carnegie does not care copper now Tor protection for his steel business; but do you not know that down in Alabama there has been a wonderful development of the iron and steel business in recent years, and are we not to get our rake-on on what we made now? It is all right enough for Carnegie to say in effect: Take off the duty on Iron and steel; We do not need it; we have milked the COW for all she could be expected to give, and why should the dear consumers be compelled to pay out thp' hard-earned money for the benefit of the iron and steel manufac- turers in the south? It is nothing but robbery under the forms of law This Is a government of the people and for the people, and perish the day when the tax ing power shall be used to promote the private business interests of handful of grafters in Alabama and Tennessee.
 That is the song we have been singing for many years, and the campaign cry upon which the democratic party won the only victory 1t has won in fifty years. We are told in our Secial dispatches to- day that Congressman Lever is arrang- ing for hearing of the South Carolina

JEFFERSON AND CLEVELAND.
Beauty of Landscape Caused Actor To
 Forget Presidential Election.

Eugene Jefferson in the Outing.
 At the time of his last nomination ex- President Cleveland had invited Mr. Joseph Jefferson and sis sons, ex-Gover- nor Russell of Massachusetts, with others, to his house, Gray Gables, to hear the returns read over a private wire from the convention in Chicago. Just after midnight when the excite- ment was at its height, the ex-Pres- tdent suddenly arose from his chair, exclaiming. T do believe I forgot to dry my fishing hne," and left the room.
 Toward morning when there was no longer any doubt as to the reelection of Grover Cleveland for the next four years and after he had received the congratulations of all present except ing one, MT. Cleveland turned to look for his friend. He saw MT. Jefferson standing before the great landscape window, which was a feature of the new dining room at Gray Gables, his hands folded behind his back, look ing out intently upon the reflection of the rising sun, mirrored in the spark ling waters of Buzzard's Bay.
 MT. Cleveland approached him and touched his arm, "Joe. aren't you going to congratulate me?"
 MT. Jefferson turned immediately to his friend and gfasped his hand.
 ~Ah, dol Believe me- do not con- gratulate you, but"-turning again to the beautiful picture. his face reflect ing It's glow-"Good God. if I could paint like that" his outstretched arm sweeping water and sky-"you could be president of a dozen United States and I wouldn't exchange places with you"

WHERE DOES SOUTH STAND?
Some Searching Tariff Questions From
 an Old Reformer.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 All the protected interests. and all the interests whicSx would like to be protect ed, are rushing to Washington to see that they are not neglected in the new distri- button of government larsess that is to be authorized by the new tariff bill. They are ''out for the stuff," as the saying goes. Party lines have been wiped out for the moment, and the hungry horde from the north and east are not more insistent in their demands than are tue hungrier people from the south and west who would like to ''get into the game, and do business at the expense of the dear people
 Down in Louisiana the rice growers and sugar planters are coming out strong for little more protection, If poss,pie' ana SC lurhbers firms in Alabama and Florida have sent up a petition protesting against the reduction of the duty on the pauper lumber of Canada and Mexico. There does not appear to be any more principle" among the democrats than there has been for 100 years or so among the republican thieves (that Is what wo used to call then) who have fat

GEN. WILLIAM BOOTH
 ENDS'FOUR SCORE YEARS
By JOHN T. EVANS.

New York April 0.-(SpeciaL)-Four score yearsl That is the goal which has been reached by Gen. William Booth, founder and head of the Salvation Army. Easter Monday the world will congratu- late this grand veteran on having turned his s0th milestone, and still be endowed with such great strength and vitality to continue the direction of the most unique religious organization under the sun. These messages of good will and God speed will go to London from the crowned heads, from presidents of republics, from governors of states, from mayors of great municipalities from the clergy and from the lay.
 Hon. Braxton Bragg Conner. governor of Alabama, has prepared this cable:
 "Chief Executives Office
 '.State of Alabama
 Montgomery, April Il. 1909 "Gen. William Booth, London, England "'The poor have the gospel preached to them is the climax of Jesus message This has been your life work.
 Congratulations on S0th birthday.
 (Signed) %B. B. COMER,
 Governor of Alabama" Practically every state in the union and a large number of .the great municipali- ties are represented in the batch of mes sages of love and admiration which will require hours for transmission by cable. Something about this great religious army-this remarkable organization It now occupies 54 countries, and in all of these will the S0th anniversary of the birth of the organizer be remembered and celebrated. In the United States alone, the Salvation Army has entered and es- tablished corps in nearly 1000 cities and towns, with over 5000 officers and cadets All of these, on the morrow, will have birthday parties"
 As General Booth passes his four-score milestone he finds that his army now musters in strength 51,161, which only numbers the local officers. He commands the largest musical organization in the world, for the reason that 19,6S3 musicians

protectionists in Washington, so that they shall not be shared out of the tolls the people of the country will be expected to pay under the new tariff bill. The thing to do now is to get into the bill and to get all we can. But as we have suggest ed elsewhere what are the dear consul mers going to do about 1t? Will they stand in with the grafters in the com bined assault they are now orgaizing against the taxpayers of the country? There are more unprotected consumers than there are protected industries. and the only true tariff measure Is tariff for revenue only. That is what we have been teaching and voting all these years. Have we meant what we said or were we only talking for effect when the other peo- pie were getting the benefits and we were paying the freight?

Building Hardware.
rom the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 Artistic hardware was not known in this country 20 years ago. There was feeble attempt to adorn the cast iron stoves, but the efforts were crude. De- signers and manufacturers worked along the lines of art until we see on every hand traces of their work. The orna- mental hinge plates, door knobs and escutcheons show us what has been done in metal.
 Possibly more conspicuous has been the evolution of the art of lock making in this country. Lock manufacturers of the United States are famous the world over and their workmanship excels. The his- tory of lock making Is probably as old as cilivization and references to it are found In the early literature of every nation, but local manufacturers of this generation have forged ahead with the greatest rapidity in the history of ths art.
 Office and night locks are those which we know the most about. while we often hear of the wonders of bank, postoffce and prison locks. Several large American manufacturers have done more by their skill in making intricate locks to dlscoui'- ago burglars than the combined force of police. 1t is to their manufacturers that we owe much of our present day safety.

 ''The greatest victory goes with the most fatih.'
 If the corners of your mouth sag, smile, smile, smile.
 Eliminate the grouch or the grouch will eliminate you.
 No physical beauty can compensate for an explosive temper.
 What frost would do for flower ac- cusations will do for love-"
 It takes the world a long time to dis cover that bigness is not greatness.
 Learn to see things with balanced brain, not with your prejudices.
 When a man has lost confidence in himself he has nothing else to lose"
 Face the world with your heart for ward and your backbone straight
 Your body will soon be where your aspiration is, provided you hold there un- waveringly."

the Salvation Army, was the result of sudden thought. In the autumn of 1877 General Booth was preparing his annual Christmas apepal and while he paced the room to and fro, his eldest son, and an- other assistant sat at a table in consulta- tion In the appeal the question occurred: {: What is the Christian mlssion?" and the answer, "A Volunteer Army" had al- ready been written down, when the gen. eral paused in his walk, took up a pen, dashed 1t through the word volunteer and substituted Salvation" Thus was born the Salvation Army, and it's new name appeared for the first time upon one of the sensational posters which the Christian Mission had pressed into it's service In order 10 attract the attention of the right sort of people.
 On his Soth birthday General Booth sees that the Salvation Army has struck it's roots deeply into the soil of the Amer ican nation, and has spread It's beneti- cent branches over the whole md hav- ing won slowly popular favor. 1t has won it's way by sheer worth Earnest ness is not the answer to the question as to the cause of this rapid, permanent establishing of the army in public con- fidence, nor is sincerity, nor is indefatiga- bility, nor fearlessness, nor aggressive ness, for many and many other organiza- tion and institution had possessed all these traits and yet it failed. The cause is here: The Salvation Army has done and is doing what it aimed to do or, as the man of the street would sententiously and expressively say, has delivered the goods" The Salvation Army is not an experiment..
 tion Army on the occasion of his S0th birthday, General Booth writes, in part, as follows:
 "Sixty-fve years ago chose the saliva tion of men and the extension of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ as the supreme object for which l would live and labor.
 "Although that choice was made In my early youth, in much ignorance of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-11

world, and of the religious needs of those about me, still, it was not arrived at without much thought and some informa- ton, and that purpose is still, and will be to the end the object which has shaped and mastered the thoughts, ambitions and activities of my whole life.
 From the hour of my first prayer meeting in one of the cottage homes of my native town. down to the present mo- ment that object has been the governing principle of my life. The adornments and flowers and music and other pleasant things connected with religious service have all been secondary to efficiency in the search for that object and success in attaining it."
 During the last A years General Booth has travelled 750,0OO miles. addressed 15,000 meetings, and 15Oo0,000 people, and had interviews with 15 royal personages and 10a governors and premiers. Wonderful figures!
 To the American people the head of the Salvation Army sends this message:
 After spending nearly 80 years in this world, with almost countless opportuni- ties for observing the purposes for which men generally live and the disappolnt- ments they so commonly suffer, it seems reasonable that l should have formed some opinion as to the course they ought to follow if they are to have any real success.
 50 on this. my S0th birthday, I tell the American people that if they will seek the honor of God. the reign of righteous ness, the welfare of the friendless poor, and the riches that endure forever, with the same sef-sacrifcing avidity with which they seek the wealth and pleasures of this world they will have a good chance of finding that life of satisfa ction which now often eludes them, and of Nbuilding up q pattern nation for the world, to initiate
