Solving the COunty's Problem

The Board of Revenue will throw away the opportunity of their official lives if they let the present prices of structural steel and other building material go unutilized. When every observant man sees that a county whose population will in a decade go to half million needs larger court house accommodations, there seems to be no reason why the Board of Reves nue should not put a bond proposition before the voters of the county. The people will do the real work. The Board of Revenue has the initiative and the referendum. The Board of Revenue determines nothing-it sim ply puts the people in a way to de- eide a matter of importance. There is, therefore, no reason why it should hesitate.
 A skycraper on the jail site has many friends, chiefly because it would
 lift the jail high in the air, render
 ing it unobjectionable, and yet keep
 ing 1t close to the courthouse. Given a chance to express their wishes the people would doubtless favor sky scraper criminal court building ana jail. A 10 or 12-story skyscraper on the jail site and the present court house would hold the county offices and quarters of even Jefferson county for a generation, and that would solve the present pressing problem.

 People were wondering how 1t was that MT. Hartmann's partner. MT. Calzin, could appear in dress suit and the violinist not The explanation is they came on different trains. Calzin arrived early in the day over the Louisville and Nashville; and to add to the confusion, in going to the rail- road station to meet Hartmann by ap- pointment he went to the wrong place. He did not know Birmingham had two stations and was pacing up and down the Louisville and Nashville platform when Hartmann came over the Ala bama Great Southern, which uses the new Terminal. When Hartmann got off the train and missed his pianist he was naturally fattled. The wonder Is that the poor fellow was in any sort of form when he stepped on the stage for his first number. But no matter how 1t all happened 1t will be many day before Birmingham hears such, an ex- ceilent virtuoso again."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Bremen in Parade

Chief Bennett has received a request from the committee in charge of the Terminal opening for the participation of the fire department in the big parade to be held that day. The chief has consent ed, but in giving his consent has stated that he does not wish this to be taken as a precedent.
 While Chief Bennett likes to see his firemen on parade he states he considers the risk too great to have the men and apparatus away from their respective quarters. The fact that he is going to let the department take part in this one, he states, does not mean that he will let them be part of every parade that is gotten up
 "The fire department is going to make a splendid showing in the Terminal open ing parade, said the chief. Most of the apparatus from the central departments will be used in it, but under no considera- ton will the apparatus of the various de- partments on North and South Highlands be taken out of their territory. It is en- tirely too great risk to have our fire fighting apparatus away from their quar- ters, and I wish it stated that our partic- ipatjon in this parade must not be taken as a preeedenta

Business Becoming Brighter

The business outlook has become brighter, and it is not a result of mere sentiment. It has much as basis that is practical and that can be sized up and considered.
 In the first place the final settlement of the Balkan troubles has removed all occasion for war in Europe, and European financiers are now free to act as they do in times of profound peace with no war cloud on the hori- zon. The money markets in Europe will soon reflect this change, and it Is believed they will speedily cease to demand from us gold.
 The coming of the season of growth and sunshine also helps general trade. The agricultural west and south are hopeful, and the plantings point to big crops. The winter wheat is coming out of the winter season in good con dition, and there is not on the farms anything that Is of discouraging na- ture. The work for another harvest is proceeding apace, and very soon crop reports will begin to come in.
 Even now before the new crops are made or even planted railroad traffic is increasing. In the two weeks that were ended March IF the number of Idle cars was reduced to the extent of S372. The testimony of railroad mana gers is to the effect that business is increasing and that it bids fair soon to reach the volume of the year 1907.

Senator Elklns AsSails New England

The revolt of Elkins-Senator Steve Elkins of West Virginia-is the sensa- tion of the hour. He was once con sidered one of the old guard, one who ate cheerfully out of the hands of AL drich, Hale, Lodge and Gallinger, and was grateful for a few crumbs and exceedingly obedient.
 But he is a revolutionary, a pariah, an outcast, socialist and what not now. He turned in the senate openly against the New England combine. He denounced New England unmercifully. "You demand" he said pointing to Sen ator Hale, protection for your manu- factured articles, but you want and in- sist that your raw materials, such as coal, hides, lumber and iron, be on the free list. The hour has come for the south, with her 24,000,000 of people, with the raw materials she is manu- featuring at home, instead of sending bt to New England, to ask for protec- lion.

THE IRON MARKET
 IS MORE HOPEFUL

Cleveland, O.. March 31.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Widespread and persistent publication of reports of very low prices on finished ma terials, particularly steel bars and struc- tural shapes, has had depressing effect, but favorable news is not entirely lack ing. The leading tin plate interest Is now operating 94 per cent of it's capac- ity, and there is more activity in the western mills of the Steel corporation than at any time since the panic. The confidence of lake interests in future prosperity is shown in the decision of the Detroit Iron and Steel company, Hanna irtei est, to erect a second blast furnace at Detroit. The sale of s15,OOo,oO0 in bonds of the Jones &s Laughlin Steel company insures a continuation of the extensive improvement programme of that impor- tant interest, although it is not expected that a large amount of money will be srent immediately. Wage reductions are being made, and 1t is expected that fur ther announcements will soon follow. For the most part the men are accepting the new wage schedules.
 Car&ul inVestlgatlon or reports or price concessions clearly shows that while some low prices are undoubtedly being made, they are not so easily obtained as would be indicated by rumors, some of which are rank exaggeratons. Some contractors who have been in the market for large tonnages of shapes have been unable to do better than 1.3O per cent Pittsburg. March bookings of structural shapes amounted to about 100000 tons, of which about one-half went to the American Bridge company.
 An order for 5000 tons for the Havana Central railroad was placed abroad. The Grand Trunk railway has ordered 400O tons from the Dominion Iron and Steel company.
 Following the placing of 45,000-ton con- tract for cast iron pipe for San Francisco, the leading pipe interest has purchased about 0O00 tons of southern pig iron. but the market in that section, as well as elsewhere is dull, and the southern price has settled to $11 Birmingham for No. 2.

practically control it's deliberations, are from New England. Why is 1t that neither the middle west nor the south is represented on that committee by a republican? I, myself, attempted not long ago to get on that committee as a southern member. There was a va caney. but I was turned down. And in making Up the whole committee you did not go to the border states, but you turned far away to the vest ern states like Utah, California and North Dakota, going as distant from the south as you very well could"
 Senators Hale and Lodge attempted to stop the revolt, but the West Vir- ginia senator went on to charge the Aldrich machine with the holding of subcommittee meetings in which no western republican or southern demo- crat is permitted to appear. Five southern senators who are republicans are rigldly excluded from these secret meetings of the finance committee.
 The revolt in the Senate includes not only Scott and Elkins of West Vir- ginia, but also Bradley of Kentucky,  Dupont and Richardson of Delaware and Warner of Missouri, and several progressive senators from the far west, men like Borah and Dixon. The AL drich-Hale machine is deeply stirred and alarmed. New England stands isolated, and as things look now to Payne bill will have to be written to fit the entire country. It is now pleas ing to New England alone. AS it stands it is an Aldrich-H bill. The revolutionaries say it must be re- written until it is of national dimen. SionS
