From the New York Sun.
The ingenious Mr.. Wells has predicted
a time when the days news will be given
to the world through the medium or gil
gantic-mouthed megarhones. There will
be no writing, no reading In those happy
days Books will have been abolished,
the gentle art of typesetting as forgot
ten as is today the secret of archaic Iy-
rian dyes. Those who lived by the pen
persisted by the pen DIETER say by the
',--'-''-' areN. And what, wa ask our
startled reader, would be the consequence
/ braries, Carnegian and other
wise; all the printing presses, all the pa
per, ink and scribblers were suddenly to
vanish?
Such condition may be easier imagined
than described. Say, for example, that
a universal benehcent tyrant succeeded
in abolishing books for century;
wouldn't his monument in enduring mar
oiH ho erocted by admring and
succeeding generations? Instead of miles
r., notices, wouldn't his effigy
in iearv and diamonds pass from hand
to hand as thing sacred?
The world has for SO many centuries
been dominated by the superstition of the
printed word that the silencing Of ink
for at least 100 years would bring forth
nations composed of thinkers and war
rors Oculists would go out of business.
Teaching in the open air, in the manner
of ancient Athens, would again find pop
ular favor. The orator would top the
novelist and the organs and Roosevelts
of that faraway epoch-reticent, taciturn
temperaments-w would cast aside the pen

AMERICANS LIKE GERMANS.
Mccormick Says England overlooks

London Cable to New York Times.
The Daily Mail prints a letter from Me-
dill Mccormick publisher of the Chicago
Tribune, suggesting that it is a fascinat-
ing opportunity for the English journal
lists to disclose to the English public the
real attitude of modern America toward
England and the English.
Mr. Mccormick says the English jour-
nalist overlooks the extreme nationalism
of American opinion, which cherishes only
a perfunctory sentiment for England of
today, whatever feeling there may be
about a common interest in Shakespeare.
the Bible, and Magma Charta.
He forgets also the bitterness induced
in a raw, self-conscious community by
years of condescenson and dislike on the
part of the English. "In short, we
scarcely realize ourselves that paradox
ically. Americans like the Englishman,
but frequently do not like England"

The story of the decline of southern
ease and the destruction of the dignity of
the old type is no better illustrated than
by the terrible change in the street car
system of Birmingham.
hTere was a time when a man need not
run his neck off through mud, rain or on
sidewalks to catch a slippery street car
that went whizzing by at the rate of 40
miles an hour. He need not even hurry,
for the mule ear on the hillside waited
at his sovereign whistle.
Those were luxurious days Often the
suburbanite would stop in his garden and
gather a handful of peavines which he
would tender with words of sympathy and
kindness to the little mule that carried
him every morning so patiently to work.
Who ever heard of wasting sympathy, or
kindness or peavines on a common, ordi-
nary motorman or conductor?
In those days the slot which took the

NEW RULES FOR

Washington, August A.-Customs reg
ulations regarding the free entry of do
nestle products exported and afterward
brought back to this country, amended to
conform to the requirements of the Payne
law. were issued by Acting Secretary
of the Treasury Reynolds today
AS a result of a recommendation made
by the Attorney General about a year
ago, exporters of domestic products will
have to produce a sworn certificate de-
claring the whisky to be in the same con-
dition as when exported in order to OBJ
tain entry of the goods free of duty.
The new law exempts domestic animals
from the duty free provision when re-
turned to this country The regulation
permitting the entry free of duty of do
nestle animals exported for racing and
exhibition purposes is not affected by the
other provision.

knot around the brake. but this was en-
tirely optional, for if you preferred, you
could lead the mule.
In fact man could get his morning
exercise, take a sun bath or a Turkish
bath on the modern car of that day. For
the strengthening of his muscle he would
often help lift the car off the track that
it might drive around a car approaching
in the other direction.
That all these joys and pleasures of
Birminghams early transportation have
disappeared is taken as positive evidence
that time is turning backward. 1t is high
time to call a halt when one cannot even
finish reading his morning paper before he
is dumped off unceremoniously in front
of his office. There should at least be a

OF BIRMINGHAM'S
MODERN STREET CAR SYSTEM

The picture was taken in 1891 in front
of the earn barn at Eighth avenue and
Sixteenth street. These cars ran from
Behrens park to Fountain Heights, max
ing several trips a day. They passed over
a 16-pound rail as compared to the 70 to
11O-pound rail used today by the Biz
mingham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany.
The dummy came on later. The picture
shows the Bessemer dummy making one
of its last runs in 1903, just as it passed
in front of The Herald building.
Shortly afterward it was turned over to
the metal heap, and the electric cars sue
ceeded it on the South Bessemer line.
