Or that he would have beeif lowered with the splen- did gift of gaining the attention of the public by that clear and sturdy direc- ton and homely sympathy which come to men who draw their inspiration from the sweet and kindly heart of nature, and who are trained by the kind of per- sons who give as much care and con- science to the preparation of the daily food as to any of the other concerns of life?

Prohibition in Selma.


 Chambliss Keithe of Selma spent yes terday in Birmingham, having come up Sunday to hear Mir. Bryan and to re- new his acquaintance formed years ago with the democratic leader. Prohibition appears to be working very well in sel- ma," said MT. Keith. but of course it's success Is to be attributed to the fact that it has public sentiment behind it. In the black belt we are confronted with the problem of keeping the negro sober for if we do not our great agricultural county would be in a distressing state. Farm labor is almost entirely done by negroes and our city and community de- pend on the prosperity of the farming in terests. For this reason if for none other the people of Selma will do their best to see that the prohibition law is en- forced. We are in the position where we realize that prohibition is the law of the state and as such it should be obeyed and given the fairest trial possible. It must be borne in mind, however, that it's chief merit is as an aid in keeping liquor from negroes

JAMES WHIITCoMB RILEYS CAR-
 NATION

From the Indianapolis Star
 In the long history of carnation culti- vation the only pure yellow flower of this variety that has been produced for com mercial purposes is the James Whitcomb Riley. The Riley was originated in the greenhouses of the Bertermanns at Cum berland The Riley was first exhibited at the national flower show at Chicago last fall. There were no competitors, and first prize went to the Bertermanns. The yellow bloom at once attracted wide att tention among the growers of this coun- try, and the Bertermanns have since had many inquiries for it from England.
 The Riley was produced by Robert El- lis. foreman of the Bertermann houses. He is a grower of flowers of long eX- perience and carnations have been his hobby. For many years he has tried to grow pure yellow bloom, and until the Riley was brought into existence the best he could do was to get blooms which had streaks in them. The Riley is a large flower of a dark golden color and streaks do not mar it's beauty or commercial worth

HOW DREAMS COME TRUE.
Work That Is Unselfish Brings Fullest Realization.
he February Delineator.

From the February Delneator.
 You have your dream. No doubt you would like to live in castle and wear fine clothes and be a lady or gentleman of great significance. There is only one way to achieve this. Help the world to make some of its many other dreams, which are not so very different from your own, come true and it will help you to realize yours. Every dream, you know, has work behind 1t for some one. If you want a castle some one has to build 1t. If you want a dress some one has to weave it. Therefore your way is to work for some one else in the best way you can, and in turn some one else will work for you. You will be paid. And out of your pay, if your work is good, all the things which you desire, the dreams which you want to come true, will come true.
 Mind you, the world rarely gives us ex- actly what we want. And. also, we rare- lv want what we thought we wanted, after we have it. Nevertheless, the dreams of the world, such as they are your dreams and mine-are really achiev- able, and the regular shops and factories and trades and professions, which are all about us, show us the way Work is the answer-giving the world what it wants by sowing. reaping, manufactur- ing. distributing. Get in on that, showing what you can do as a maker of dreams come true, and the world will quickly re- spond and your own will become real itS.

THE CRUISER BIRMINGHAM.

From the Mobile Register.
 The United States scout cruiser Bir- mingham, now in the lower bay, will not come to the city, owing to the fact that her condenser pumps draw water from the bottom of the boat and the captain ap- prehends that he may fill his condensers with mud drawn from the channel side or bottom. As he is under orders to sail February 2, he does not care to take chances of such a mishap, and will not come up especially at a time when a mortimer is blowing and the tide is four feet lower than usual in this channel It in lack of room in the river but this was later acknowledged to be mistake. Ves- sels of the Birminghams size and of greater draft are frequenters of this port right along and have no difficulty in coming to and returning from the city. It has been represented to the commander that when vessels have no list they can navigate the channel without clogging condensers. The Register still entertains the hope that,~with a change in the direc- tion of the wind, the cruiser may yet be brought up to the city, say today or Mon day as the case may be-
 Anyway, whether in our bay or in our river, the handsome war vessel named in honor of Mobiles sister city, Birmingham, is in Alabama waters, and is right well come here. Birmingham citizens will rem der the special honors to Birmingham s namesake but Mobilians cooperate with them in extending the hand of brother hood, rejoicing in the flag and wishing a long and successful career to the gallant cruiser.
 It is proper to add that the state of the channel is but temporary and rarely is the tide as low as now; moreover, plans are afioat for further deepening of the channel, the projected improvement being for depth of 27 feet, an increase of five feet over the present depth, and a telegram from Congressman Taylor re- ceved yesterday announces that he is pressing for a survey with view of ob- taining 30 feet depth.

Building in Birmingham.

Building conditions in Greater Bir mingham are such as to make contractors exceedingly hopeful, and there is no reason why every one in the district should not be feeling cheerful over the situation" said one of Birminghams S prominent contractors last night.
 ''The large office buildings under con struction in the heart of the city are things which give encouragement, but the thing in my estimation which gives the greater degree of encouragement is the amount of work being done in the residesce sections.
 "In the different suburbs there is any number of dwellings being built and a noticeable fact is that nearly every one Is being built with the best material and best workmanship. The shoddy built house is becoming a thing of the past, and the houses being erected would be an ornament to any avenue of handsome houses.
 "There is another thing regarding the houses being erected in the suburbs, and one which is undoubtedly good indica- ton of the solid growth of the city. This is that a majority of the new houses are two stories in height. Heretofore about 90 per cent of suburban homes have been cottages of five or six rooms. Experi- enced contractors will tell you that the general building of two-story homes in the suburbs is one of the strongest indi- cations of good times that can be found.
 "These new houses are also being erect ed with an eye to the beautiful, the arch fleets appearing to exert themselves in this direction. This Is one of the good results of the city beautiful move ment.
 "I have about all the work can con- venently handle at this time while my prospects are very bright for the future. Other contractors are also busy, and have found most of them feeling happy over the situation. It looks like Bir- mingham Is crawling out of the she'll of depression which has covered it for the past 15 months, and that we are going to have real good times. Judging from tho building line''

the workings of centralization at Washington the senator-eleet turns to his state to ask 1t to stand for all it's powers as the administrative unit. He tells the citizens of his own state that they should not barter their state birthright for a mess of national pot tage.
 In this crisis when the rights of the states are threatened as they never have been before it becomes the duty of every state to stand firmly by it's reserved rights. No appropriation should swerve a state from its true position No temporary gain, no polit- ical advantage, should be considered. There should be a movement all along the line in support of the reserved rigts of the states The expansion of federal power should be checked from this time on, and every American in every party should stand by his state. MT. Root calls halt in the growth of federal power alike in the courts that have been construing the Four teenth amendment in way to ag- grandize federal power and in Con- gress whose activities are thus de- scribed by MT. Root:
 "The intimate connection between the people of every locality and of every other, largely brought about by the in crease of communication, the passing to and fro of the trains upon our great railroads, the telegraph and the tele- phone, the extension of business which knows no state lines and the substitu- ton of great national centers of business for old state centers of business, the development of commercial and manu- featuring and social life along national lines, have forced upon the national gov- ernment the performance of a great vari- ety of duties which formerly were per formed by the states within the limits of their Comparatively isolated communi- ties. By the exercise of the powers granted in the interstate commerce clause of the constitution the national govern ment is extending it's power over the opera ton of our railroads, our steamship lines, our telegraph and our express companies; by the exercise of the taxing power it is regulating the action of the people all over the country, as. for instance. in the ole omargarine act by the controlling the aduteration of food and deceptive prac- tees in the sale of food, as in the pure food law The activities of the general government are continually widening step by step, covering ground formerly occupied by state action"
 The states should assert themselves, and all parties should unite to bring back the federal system to the plans of the fathers. It can be done. It is not too late to save the republic from and ruin.

State and National Powers

Senator-elect Roots timely defense of the rights of thes states has been widely published It has all the great CT weight because MT. Root belongs to the party that had done a great deal to build up a centralized govern ment at the expense of the states. MT. Root views this tendency with alarm, first because the general government would break down under the load that it is proposed to cast upon it. "The other danger" says Mr. Root, '1s the danger of breaking down the local self-government of the states. After all, the thing that we have government for is ultimately the preservation of our homes and our individual liberty And we ought to be at liberty to reg. ulate the affairs of our homes in ac- cordance with our own ideas. The ten. dency to vest all powers in the cen tral government at Washington is like ly to produce the decadence of the powers of the states"
 The powers of the states are not de fined simply because the~states have all the powers of government no specifically entrusted to the genera government, and the speech of MT Root before the New York legislature at Albany will go long ways in pre- serving to the states their powers. MT Root appeals to the people, and par ticularly to the members of his owr party to preserve undiminished the powers and authority of the states.
 Let us hope this speech will marl . turn of the tide that has been run ming in favor of a great national ma chine and against the state as tht fountain of power. After witnessing

How Law Is Enforced.

O. R. Hood, a well-known attorney of Gadsden, who was in Birmingham yesterday. paid a very fattering compli- ment to Capt. Alvo V. Lee, sr, former ly resident of Barbour county, and now judge of the city court of Gadsden, when he said:
 That prohibition can be enforced is es- tablished beyond all question in. Etowah county This is due to the fact that the officers have enforced the law, simple process true, but a very effective one.
 Much of the success of prohibition is due to Judge Alvo V. Lee, Sr., who has punished violators of the prohibition laws as violators of other laws are punished MT. Lee is firm and courageous judge, and he deserves much credit for enforc- ing a law which is observed very indif- ferently in other sections of the state"

Alabama'S Dry Cold Wave

The great storm that has swept across the country brought to all the states high winds and low tempera- lures. but in the south it was a dry storm. No sleet or snow came in the cotton belt. The difference between a dry wave and a wave that includes slee4 and snow can be seen by read ing a description of the situation in Kentucky on Sunday morning. Says the Courier-Journal:
 "The blizzard that has been raging in Kentucky for the past 4s hours is nearly a record breaker in the way of intensity High winds, causing the snow to drift, have made country roads almost im- passable. In some places the snow has drifted to a depth of from four to ten feet and made the delivery of rural mails impossible. With the mercury hoy ering around zero much suffering is re- ported among poor people unprepared for such frigid weather. Young lambs have been killed where they were not prop erly protected and other live stock has suffered accordingly.
 It must be conceded that Alabama has not felt wave of the Kentucky sort. No rain, sleet or snow fell here, and all we had to contend with were penetrating winds and temperature that crept down close to the zero 1;na

 ''I was about 3 years old when I first began to appear in plays. An odd incl dent occurred about that time, when had child parts in Shakespearean drama with Barry Sullivan. It was on the night he first played Macbeth, and I was one of the apparitions. The piece, as usual, was put on hastily, and I stuck hopelessly in my speech at rehearsal However, was confident I would be all right by night.
 q must have looked a funny ghost as I came through the trap with my brist- ling red hair and in my mighty I for got my lines, but with the nonchalance of an old actor I began to improvise. My voice was shrill and penetrating, and I am told I said something like this

ResignatiOn Of Chief Justice Tyson

After a long service on the bench, capped by election to the office of chief justice of the supreme court, John Russell Tyson has left official life ta, reap the greater rewards of his profession in private practice. Ala bama pays her judges meagre salaries and she cannot reasonably expect to retain them, especially where the cor porations bid for their services. Nor can any one reasonably blame a man of family who is receiving a lean salary for going where he can honorably earn a fat salary.
 The change Judge Tyson has de- cided to make is one that any judge has a right to make. He leaves the service of the state, but he knows there are other capable men fit and ready for the duties he surrenders He knows that the state will suffer no harm, while he himself will gain more shekels for his own family. There is nothing reprehensible or dis honorable in this. No official agrees to serve his term out when he accepts office, and no judge is disbarred from stepping up the ladder in his pro- fession whenever opportunity presents itself Judge Tyson's honorable record in office has won for him a deserved promotion in his profession.

Raising the Republic

The Republic cost a million dollars, and she holds cargo of considerable value. But she lies in the open sea 40 fathoms down. Divers can work at depth of 60 feet, but a depth of 24O feet is far beyond them, and yet the wreckers think they can raise the Republic.
 The John Arbuckle company pro- poses to add to air compressors pow erful electric magnets, and by means of the two to do work that divers can not reach. Children who pick up pen with a small magnet are familiar with the principle. An extension of the principle is. it is claimed, possi- ble until even a ship weighing 10000 tons could be brought where the air compressors and pontoons could com- plete the task.
 If the Republic Is raised in 40 fathoms of water-open sea at that another record will be broken, but the Republic seems to have been built to break records. The Arbuckles are said to be ready to apply electric magnets and air compressors to the ship, and the depth of water in which she lies will prove no obstacle, provided the magnets come to the aid of the air compressors as the wreckers have nlanned
