Picnic at Delta School
(Delta Specially

The last day of school at the Delta
was marked by a program FRIDAY
morning and a picnic dinner at noon.
The program lasted about an hour
and a half and consisted of recita-
tfons, music, etc. The parents and
friends OF the child,en were present
ana the picnic was a great success.
Inere were no graduates from the
eighth grade, although several pre-
cocious youngsters succeeded in pass
Ing the eighth grade examination.
But as the children who did so are
very young and immature, Profess "
craig. who had taught in the school
FOR years and has the greatest inter
est IN his scholars personally, would
not recommend their taking up hi. h
school work next year.

THE SPRINGS NEW CHARTER

Colorado Springs has adopted {
new charter, under the commission
form of government, that seems to
have every up-to-date feature ex-
cept the musical attachment, and
that is really more of a family de-
vice anyway. The form of the char
ter was briefly outlined in the news
columns OF the Tribune Friday. and
we would refer those interested to
that article.
Perhaps some of the best features
of the charter are. the initiative
and referendum clauses. the recall
and the non-partisan form of the
election. The mayor and aldermen
are paid fair salary and devote
their entire time to the service. They
can not go crooked very long, or
their commission can be revoked by
the people in very short order. It
puts the whole thing more on
business basis than any other form
of city government, and virtually
takes the election of officials abso-
lutely out of politics.
The charter also gives the city the
right to engage in business of GER
tain kinds, such as the owning and
operating of public utilities.
As Colorado Springs is the first
city in the state to adopt this form
of government the experiment will
be watched with great deal of in
terest by other municipalities.

CANTATA BY HIGH
SCHOOL CHORUS
ESTHER, THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN
Greeted by Large Audience Last
Night at Opera House

Esther, the Beautiful Queen q
sacred cantata, was presented at the
Greeley Opera House Friday evening
by the chorus of the Greeley high
school, under the direction of Prof
J. r. Whiteman.
A large and appreciative audience
greeted the students and the pro-
gram was entertaining throughout.
Much individual talent was displayed
in the solo numbers and the chorus
work was excellent. Considering
the youth OF the participants, it was
an extremely creditable performance
and reflects much credit on the lead
er, Professor Whiteman. The stage
settings were beautiful and the cos
tunes were gorgeous. The cantata
was given to help liquidate the debt
on the piano, and it was thought
this morning that 500 would be
added to the piano fund.
Those who took the leading parts
we're: Esther. the queen, Alice Tay-
or; Ahasuerus, the king. Ernest
Tuck; Haman, the kings counsellor.
Harvey Phillips; Mordecai, q Jew,
Elmer Edwards; Mordecai's sister,

The Public Library.

"The Public Library association" said a member, lis now in position to achieve noticeable results.
 The Board of Education has opened the public library in the city hall to the people.
 The City Council has demonstrated it's interest by voting funds for addi- tional shelving and for paint, and de- voting almost twice as much space to the library. The books have been placed on low shelves within reach of the readers and the people will have access to these shelves.
 -Four ladies are at work cataloging the books by authors, by titles and by subject The 10000 or 15,000 volumes representing 20 years work of our superintendent of schools, his teachers and pupils are well selected but for a city of this size such a number of books is a mere beginning.
 "The Public Library association is a voluntary body of people, formed with the avowed and single purpose of in- creasing this collection to where it will suffice, and of producing a fireproof  home for the collection. The manage ment, ownership and maintenance of the library are to be left, as now, to the city of Birmin gham.
 "In this association men and wom- en of every creed. of every political faith, of every calling can find common ground-the common ground of pro- viding means of self-improvement to the citys ambitious youth.
 "In and through this association the missionary spirit of our people can find true expression in that high form of helping ones neighbors to help themselves. The secretary of the asso- citation has generously been given an office in the city hall library by the Board of Education"

Mir. PaVne's Bill Is Peculiar

II is too early in the tariff revision campaign to assume that duties have been reduced by the Payne bill. It is
 full of ways that are dark, and the
 leader in this respect is no doubt the
 section providing for an increase in
 duties of 20 per cent for all countries failing to enter into reciprocal trade relations with the United States. Only 60 days is allotted to other countries to get in line for minimum duties. It is known that Germany, France, Aus ria-Hungary, Italy and at least dozen other governments cannot or will not 1 change their tariff schedules in SO days, and the result will be that at the end of 60 days from the passage Of the Payne bill the consumer will get q dose tbat will out-Dingley Dingleyism. About four-fifths of the country's i'm ports will pay maximum rates.
 Nor is the maximum-and-minlm clause the only trick in the Payne bill. The American market value is to be- come a basis of appraisement instead of the foreign market value. This of itself will increase many duties from 20 to 40 per cent.
 But perhaps by far the worst trick in the bill relates to petroleum. The only parties concerned are Russia and the Standard Oil company. Petroleum is put on the free list, but provision is added that if any country imposes 8 duty on American oil the oil of that country when shipped to the United States shall pay like duty, Russia is the only oil-producing country in Europe, and Russia taxes American oil 175 per cent. The Standard Oil would therefore De protected by the Payne bill frop Russian competition by a duty of 175 per cent. The sly hand of Boss Aldrich can be seen in the provision that runs in favor of his sof-in-law
 -' For ways that are dark the Payne bill certainly outdoes the Heather Chinee of Bret Hartes poem. These ways will, however, be fully brought out in the course of the debate, and some of them will probably be elimi- mated, notably the proposed maxi mum" joker.

MT. WIllIamson's Corn CuIidfe Plan

No Remsen board aAf no Secretary of Agriculture can ks9sp the farmers of sx.A.ama fuaoIn listening to Farmer Williamson's plan for growing corn in the south. Many that listen are con- yinced, and the plan will be tested in perhaps every county in the state. It may constructively be lese majeste, but the plan will be accepted never theless by scores of farmers who will put in hundreds of acres in strict ac- cordance with the plans outlined by MT. Williamson.
 We are sending $4oOoo,ooo to Sec retary Wilson's state and other states in the middle west, and the Williamson plan looks to reduction in this toll so far as corn Is concerned. When Alabama grows a sufficiency of corn the road to other needed cereals will be found to consist in deeper plow ing The Williamson plan Is based on deeper blowing.
 The plans of MT. Williamson are not a bit tentative. Whoever follows them strictly will get 80 bushels of corn from acres that have heretofore pro- duced 20 bushels, but shallow blowing must go. MT. Williamson has nothing to sell. He gives his experience and his plans without money and without price. He is patriotic and unselflsh. He wants to see the south relieved of the tribute imposed by the northwest. Secretary Wilson looks at the problem from another point of view. Alabama should accept MT. Williamsons view point until it is proven illusory and unsound.

Theodore Roosevelt in Golfers Weekly.

Theodore Roosevelt in Golfers Weekly. ] oU ask me to speak about vigol ION of body. I believe in it for its own sake. I believe in 1t stil more as an aid to vigor of mind, and above all to vigor of character. But I do not believe In 1t at all if 1t is made an end instead of a means, and especially if play Is permitted to become the serious business of life.
 High proficiency in sport is not neces- sary in order to get benefit out of it.; although, of course, 1t is in every way bad to show a slipshod indifference to high proficiency, an unwillingness or in ability to put ones whole heart into a struggle. Personally. as you know, l am not really good at any games. Perhaps in my time I came nearer to being fairly good as a walker, rider and rifle shot than in any other way; but l was never more than an average good man even in these respects.
 Whatever success I have had in game hunting-and 1t has been by no means noteworthy-has been due, as well as can make 1t out to three causes: first, common sense and good judgment; sec ond, perseverance, which is the only way of allowing one to make good ones own blunders; third, the fact that I shot as well at game as at target. This does not make me hit difficult shots, but it prevented my missing easy shots, which a good target shot will often do in the field. Most of my bears, for instance, were killed close up, and the shots were not difficult as long as one did not get rattled. Now, of course. the possession and practice of these qualities did not make me by any means as successful a hunter as the men who in addition to pos sessing them were also better shots than I was. or who had greater power or en- durance or who were more skilled in pIainscraft and woodcraft. But they did enable me to kill a reasonable quantity of biz game and do 1t in ways that have made my observations of value to the faunal or outdoor naturalist. Besides, I knew what wanted, and was willing to work hard to get 1t.
 In short I am not an athlete; 1 am simply good, ordinary, out-of-doors man. You speak of my recent hundred-mile
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-03-21
LIFE OUT-OF-DOORS

ride Now this was no feat for any young man in condition to regard as worth speaking about; twice out in the cattle country, on the roundup, when was young, I have myself spent 3s hours in the saddle, merely dismountng to eat or change horses; the hundred mile ride represented what any elderly man In fair trim can do If he chooses. In the summer I often take the smaller boys for what they call a night picnic on tho Sound. we row off eight or ten miles, camp out, and row back In the morning. Each of us has light blanket to sleep in, and the boys are sufficiently deluded to believe that the chicken or beefsteak I fry in bacon fat on these expeditions has a flavor impossible else- where to be obtained. Now these ex- petitions represent just about the kind of thing I do. Instead of rowing, it may be riding, or chopping, or walking. or playing tennis, or shooting at target. But it is always pastime which any healthy middle-aged man fond of outdoors life but not an athlete, can indulge In : if he chooses.
 I think my last sentence covers the whole case-that is, when l say IT ne chooses" It has always seemed 10 me that in life there are two ways or acnieV- ing success, or, for the matter or that, of achieving what is commonly called preatness. One is to do that which can only be done by the men of exceptional and extraordinary abilities. Of course this means that only this one man can do 1t. and 1t is a very rare kind of success or of greatness. The other Is to do that which many men could do, but which, as a matter of fact, none of them &C., tually does. This is the ordinary kind of success or kind of greatness. Nobody but one of the worlds rare geniuses C,dld have written the Gettysburg speech, or the second inaugural, or met as Lincoln met the awful crises of the civil war. But most of us can do the ordinary things, which, however. most of us do not do My own successes have come within this second category. Any fairly hardy and healthy man can do what I have done in hunting and ranching if he only really wishes to, and will take the pains and trouble, and at the same time use common sense.
 Any one that chose could lead the kind of life I have led, and any one who had led that life could if he chose-and by choosing, I of course mean choosing to exercise in advance the requisite industry, Judgment and foresight, none of them an extraordinary degree-have raised my regiment served in positions analogous to those of which have served in clvu life.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Iron and Rails.

No blast furnace in the Birmingham district will be closed down on account of the dullness in the iron market said man prominent in the industrial world.
 There will be a good market by and by and iron piled on the yard will be in brisk demand some day. With rolling mill products end finished steel products the case is different They must be made ae- cording to specifications, and cannot therefore, be turned out until they are contracted for. By the way, regarding steel products, 1t has been persistently rumoreG in New York that the rail mill at Ensley VIII be shut down April 1. happen to know that the Tennessee com pany has orders enough to keep 1t going longer than the date named. The of 6oials of the company have not hesitated to say that the plant could not continue in operation long unless new orders for rails were forthcoming. But there is fair prospect of new business. It may be that contracts will be closed soon which will keep the mill going until May, and if until May, other new business will probally De in sight. am hopeful enough to believe that there will be no shut down at Ensley; but as has already been indicated, it all depends on new orders for rails. Tho Tennessee company is do- ing all in its power, at any rate, to keep things going but of course no concern can do the impossible"

Interest In Baseball.

"An indication that the interest in baseball has by no means decreased in Birmingham, notwithstanding the dis astrous results of last season." said an observant citizen, lis that every man who buys a newspaper on a street and settles himself to peruse its contents will in almost every instance turn to the sporting news first.
 q travel the cars every morning and though the season has not commenced the interest evinced in the practice games of the last few days has been quite marked, and the eagerness with which the dope Is read sh ows the great national game has lost none of its popularity.
 "The reading of the papers this morning furnished a topic to the Journeys end and the merits and de- merits of the individual players were discussed with as much assurance as if the season was well under way.
 "Those who did not read listened with interest plainly manifested on their faces. There seemed to be some doubt as to the players signed by Molesworth being of Southern league timber, especially the pitching staff The enthusiasts, however, are predict ing great things for the team

Good Government In Los Angeles

Los Angeles has adopted "the re- call" and when it gets an unfit ser want who is beyond impeachment or an indictment, it directly applies the power of dismissal, power which it retains and which can be applied at any time. The other American cities have to endure an incompetent or unfit official to the end of his term. Not so in Los Angeles, for there an unworthy servant may be dismissed by vote on short notice. On Tuesday next its mayor will be voted out and a new mayor voted in. The old mayor has fled the city, and pro tenn. mayor is now serving until new mayor is elected and sworn in.
 This new method in city govern ment seems to be coming into favor. All cities are liable to make mistakes in the selection of officials. Los An geles selected a absolute, possibly corrupt, mayor, and 1t has a quick op- portunity to undo its mistake, by popu lar impeachment proceedings. The old form of impeachment has proven prac tically valueless as a remedy, and the new form is coming into favor. Lo' Angeles Is setting the pace.
 Tho new form is started by a peti
