Reaching For New Trade

A new mercantile organization has been added to the list of Birmingham s active and efficient agencies for pro- noting this city's commercial inter- ests. At a well-attended meeting held last night the Business Mems league of Birmingham was formed, its object being to reach out for new trade and to make this city in wider sense than ever the shopping center of Alabama and neighboring states. It was an earnest, enthusiastic meeting, and the pull-together spirit was in evidence from the start
 Birmingham has made wonderful strides as an industrial center, and it's mercantile interests have expanded on broad and substantial lines. But the merchants, while they have prospered greatly, are entitled to a far larger share of out-of-town trade than they have enjoyed hitherto. And to culti- vate and increase this outside business will be the work to which the new organization will address itself.
 c. w. Ufford in accepting the presi- dency of the league, made speech Of true ring. It was indeed a capital speech-the talk of a practical busi- ness man who stood ready to do his full part in advancing the common good. All he asked was hearty CO., operation. And this cooperation he is sure to have.
 A new trade" campaign will be in- augurated at once and will be con- tinued systematically, intelligently and with uncommon energy. Birmingham as a shopping town Is exceptionally at tractive because of the large and va ried line of stocks carried by it's mer- chants and because, further, of the rare bargains that may be found here. The thing is to make people 100 miles or more away familiar with the ad- vantages offered those who trade in Birmingham. For this work the Busi- ness Mems league will keep its shoul- der to the wheel year in and year out and there can be no such thing as fail.

Electricity Versus Steam

Atlanta dreams now of becoming the manufacturing center of the south. True, it has no fuel no iron ore, no river open to the sea, but it brushes all such impediments aside and marches to victory by means of developed water powers and electricity
 It simply proposes to harness all the latent water powers in north Georgia and to make them agents for producing electricity, the cheapest, most convent ently handled and adaptable force in the world. All these newly created currents are to be turned to Atlanta, there to drive wonderful variety of factories.
 The scheme is feasible, and the cen ters of manufacturing and trade of the

VIII Accomplish Much.

.fhe Commercial club said mer- chant, ''has done and is doing upbuilding work for Birmingham and the Birming- ham district and it's ally, the Board of Trade, has accomplished much for the mercantile interests of the city; but in the nature of things the Business Mems league will do more to increase the shop ping trade of Birmingham than any other agency. This new organization has a single object In view-trade expansion. It will reach out for more trade and to that end will cultivate additional territory.
 Birmingham is an attractive city. Everybody in this part of the south likes an excuse to visit Birmingham. But as attractive as it is in a general way, it must be made even more attractive to the people throughout Alabama and Mississippi
 "Our State Fair in the fall is great attraction, but we must have other at fractions at other seasons of the year As c. W Ufford said in his speech when he accepted the presidency of the Business Mems league, if this league had been formed a little earlier in the year the music festival and flower parade moNe- ment for May next would have been car ried out
 T certainly expect to see the Business Mems league accomplish untold good for this entire community"

ADtI-JauaneSe Bills Rejected

The defeat of the school segregation bill in the California legislature prac- tieallyNepds a critical period in Amer can-Japanese affairs. The effort ito compel Japanese children to attend separate schools would have hurt the feelings of the Japanese, whose sensi- bilities are very acute in this stage of their national life, and Governor Gil lett deserves no little praise for the work he did toward the defeat of the obnoxious bills. They are all dead, or as good as dead.
 This ends an attempt on the part of a state to disregard a treaty between the federal government and another nation. No state has any right to vio- late the spirit or letter of any treaty entered into by this country, but the California agitators, putting all law and all precedents aside, attempted to act regardless of treaty rights. Ex- Secretary Root declared that the school bill did violate the spirit of the treaty with Japan, and no state has right to do that.
 The passage of the school bill, too, would have been unwise, for the gen- eral government is doing its utmost to minimize the immigration of Japanese and other Orientals to this country and Japan is cooperating The best evidence goes to show that more Jap anese are going out than are coming iii, and if this be true there will soon be no Japanese problem. The Cali fornia legislature has acted wisely in defeating pending anti-Japanese bills, and the government should strive in every possible way to use MT. Roose- velts words, "to safeguard the inter- ests of California"

Boxing and Wrestling.

While much interest is being shown in the boxing contest which takes place at the club on Friday night, boxing and wrestling are not given the attention they merit on the part of our membership, said a member of the boxing and wrest- ling committee of the Birmingham Ath- letie club.
 While it is well known among athletes that these forms of exercises have no superiors as physical developers. little at tentlon is paid them because of the er- roneous idea which generally prevails that they are harmful. This l wish to deny most emphatically. While it is true that when indulged into too strenuously by the inexperienced much harm may result proper training at the hands of com- potent instructor soon develops such pro- ficieney that the prospects of suffering physical injury are very slight, and, in fact. less than exist in football and basketball
 ''The boxing committee hopes that the coming contest will develop interest In this form of exercise to such an extent that regular classes in boxing can be organized and interesting contests held from time to time during the winter be- tween members of the club"

Horse Or Auto At White House

When the Senate was considering an item of $12,000 for the purchase and maintenance of automobiles for the White House, Senator Bailey endeav- ored to make it a farm proposition, inasmuch as it attempts to substitute a product of the factory for a product of the farm. He went on to present this view of the item, as follows:

dreds of men who drank beer every day and seldom tasted whisky are now regular whisky drinkers; all of which. it strikes me. is bad for temperance. It may be good politics but from a moral point 1t Is at least a matter to be questioned.
 As long as the republicans are In a majority in Congress no measure pro- hibiting the shipment of liquor into dry territory-the measure known as an anti shipping bill-will stand any chance of passing but if the democrats ever get control there could be no telling what would happen. Many of the democrats in the House of Representatives are already committed to the anti-shipping measure. Prohibition is not democratic doctrine, but the democratic party has not been distinguished in recent years for consis- teney, let alone statesmanship."

Llncoln'S Centenary Anniversary

Today Is the one hundredth anniver- sary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, and in many states memories of him will be recalled, and his life rendered inti- mate and ever-present. He has become a vitslizing force in this country, and the children of today in many states are being taught lessons that will keep his memory bright. In the 561 public schools of New York city the Gettys- burg address will be read today, and 50 it will be in many other cities.
 There is really no reason, say the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, why the people of the south should not hold the memory of Lincoln in high esteem. It goes on to say that he was Ken tuckian by birth, and that both of his parents were born in Virginia "We wish,'' it says in conclusion, ito point out the fact that the preserver of the union and the emancipator of the slaves was not New Englander or T Northerner, but a Southerner trans planted to the soil of the west. For this reason we of the south have a right to be proud of the career of this great American Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence; Wash. ington conducted the revolution to a successful issue; Pinckney drew up the outline of the Constitution of the Knitted States; Monroe promulgated the doctrine with which his name has been associated; Clay was sponsor oi the American system and Lincoln freed the slaves and preserved the Union. All of these men identified with the vital issues in the politics ol the republic were Southerners The South suffered too much to have learn ed to love Lincoln, but it can at leas place upon his grave wreath tha symbolizes It's profound respect"
