is not reasonable to prohibit their nss outside of business districts.
 The need of non-combustible roof ma terial is sorely felt. If a cement CT asbestos shingles could be devised, or sbingle made of both, at prices within the reach of the average builder, the number of fires would be lessened, and much suffering prevented. No greater want than this exists perhaps in the building trade and inc hope long has been that a non-combustlble shin gle would appear in the market-one that could be sold at 1rices within the reach of the modest home constructor.
 The wood shingle $ condemned by in- surance authorities. It stands ready to catch any spark or cinder that comes to it. and yet 1t cannot be displaced un- til @ low-prieed substitute can be found for it. The inventive mind should ne turned in this direction, for seraeely anything else would be a greater bless

tion-I would see such problems treat ed by masters with serious purpose rat CT than exploited for mere eommer- cial profit in a sensational manner. Now. as to the blame for the present state of the drama, managers are not entirely too responsible. for the public has a large share in the responsibility for todays unfortunate tendency. I am
 firmly convinced that the remedy is to be caught and the cure to be applied quite as much beyond the doors of the theatres as behind them.
 While 1t is not necessarily the mis- sion of the stage to preach, I cannot subscribe to the statement, which some of my fe1low-artists have been guilty of, namely, that the theatre has but one purpose, that of amusing. The stage sh ould exert an influence for good, ex- tending beyond the reach of the actors voice and the glare of the footlights. believe that there are great and per manent benefits which the theatre can confer. and I may as well confess that 1t is my desire and ambition to asso- ciate my name with them. I deplore the noisy and the hysterical, and feel that my attitude and its sincerity can best be judged by the class of plays in which l myself have appeared during my long service to the theatre"

IN HOTEL HOBBIES.
Ideas of Lenten Observance


 There are many erroneous ideas con cerning the observance of Lent" said a ehurehman, that were it not for the sac redness of the period would be positively amusing.
 Being invited by a friend to take cigar. declined with thanks. much to the surprise of my friend who knew l was an ardent smoker. Being urged to par take reluctantly gave my reasons. name ly. that I had cut out smoking during the Lenten period.
 He looked at me for a moment and said in all earnestness. Yours must be comforting religion. l wish l could be forgiven of all my meanness by giving up smoking for 40 days l hastened to inform him that I did not expect any such a thing nor did the church teacn 1t. The church urges abstinence In all things during the period. and deniai of such things as we most enjoy.
 '.It is a means of reminding us of our churchly duties. but not as means or special favors."

Great Prosperity

Charles H. Greer, editor of the Ma rion Standard, and candidate for the position of secretary of state, subject to the democratic primary. May 2, was in Birmingham yesterday, where he has many friends, old and new.
 T am making an active canvass of the state.' said MT. Greer. q have all ready canvassed 26 counties. most of them quite thoroughly. What is most gratifying to me is the prosperous con dition of the farmers of Alabama. Ag- riculture in every part of the state is being advanced very materially. The fact is that the fine appearance of the farms and the thrifty air of the farmers must prove revelation to those people who have not travelled much in the rur- al districts or kept especially in touch with agricultural life. The progress has been wonderful. Take Cheroke ee county as an example. When I was a boy I would ride along the roads of Cherokee for miles and miles and see very few houses. The houses seemed to be mile apart. I have recently been in every corner of Cherokee. l found farm house always in sight and every farm was in fine shape. And what applies to Cherokee Is true of most of the counties I have visited"

 Much Ado About Nothing.
War All Alnne lhn Canadian. BOrder

When this county. adds 20 per cent to Aldrich rates, which are themselves 1t least 2a per cent too high. Cana 6,an goods will be shut out and Can ada proposes, it is said, to add one -th,ra to her duties. There the tariff war will stand unless Congress acts and the country will be deprived of s27o.- COG, 900 in trade.
 Canada will suffer some inconvenience but German and English manufactur- .rs will endeavor to minimize the amount of it. The Canadian difficulty vil1 serve at any rate to drive more nails in the coffin of the standpatters. Tn Canada the conservatives and lib- erals are alike supporting the prime minister and Financier Minister Field fng in the course they have adopted The entire dominion is ready for tar fir war. It is considered iheFitdoie III Canada and the people up there are ready to accept the situation. Canada cannot be starved out for she raises more wheat and meats than she can consume and her wood pulp and oth- CT products will be marketed else- where.
 tariff war along a line 1000 miles long is no small matter, nor is the 1oss of the aggregate of our Canadian trade in recent years. Our balance of trade will miss the s27O,Ooo0Oe that passed between this country and the dominion in the days before Aldrich- ism was inflicted upon us
 This country is demanding from Can ada as favorable treatment as Canada accords to France under a special re- ciprocity arrangement and the United States further demands that Canada cease to prohibit the exportation of wood pulp. Canada declines to make these concessions and thus the rcpub- lie and the dominion are drifting to a tariff war and trade reprisals. If Con- gress would take duties off lumber and wood pulp the entire matter could be adjusted-otherwis it is not easy tC see how it can be, Congress is in ses. sion.

Cattle Raising In Alabama
ing

The high and steadily increasing cost of nrovisions. especially meat, will of necessity force the raising of more cat tie and hogs.
 The bringing under cultivation of vast areas of grazing lands in the west has materially reduced cattle raising possibilities in that section and the in dustry must be carried to other sec- tions More and smaller herds will be the rule of the future. The south must prepare to take care of it's part in pro- ducing the meat products of the world.
 No section of the country is better fitted for the raising of hogs and cat tie than these southern states. The long, open season Is of especial ad- vantage. The abundant supply of run ming water is another important fea- ture that is not available on the graz ing plains of the west.
 must produce his feed stuffs. Heretofore he has had to compete with the free ranges of the west. But as the free range is rapidly disappearing all farm CTS will be on an equal footing in this respect. And nowhere in the country can food stuffs under improved farm ing methods be raised as cheaply and abundantly as in the south.
 Cattle experts in the agricultural department at Washington declare that these southern states are the natural home of beef cattle and hogs. It has been fully demonstrated that as fine hogs and cattle can be raised in the south as in the west and it is only matter of the progressive farmer turn ing his attention to this industry.
 Sumter county. Alabama, is now pro- ducing some of the finest beef cattle that has gone on the market in recent years. Several car loads of fine cattle go from Sumter and adjoining coun- ties every year to the western packers and the products are listed as first class.
 The men engaged in the business in Sumter and that section are getting rich What they are doing others can do in almost every other section of the state
 The second finest Berkshire hog in America belongs to W. K Pickens of Livingston. MT. Pickens sells brood sows to fancy growers in all sections of the United States and Canada. He asks and gets the very highest prices and cannot begin to supply the demand
 What further proof is needed that Alabama is adapted to the growing of fine pork?

A HERIC .FIRsT NIGHTER.,

From the New York World.
 Men indulge curious ambitions. Some have been known to follow the engines to every fire or to attend every bal, game. Others have aspired to eat 30 quail In 30 days. An aesthetic equivalent of these feats was undertaken by the prom nent man-about-town whose airn if was to witness every epering performance at the theatre, and to him clearly belongs the palm.
 He set himself in the name of amuse- nent Q task from which conscientious professional critics shrink in the line of duty. Assuming that he consistently ad- hered to his programme, he attended Io6 first-night performances last year in season of 40 weeks. He saw "A new plays and 34 revivais of old plays 37 musical comedies and Il Shakespearian reviyals. What an amount of confused and ten rous plots. of inane dialogues. of re- warped witticisms and jingling melody he heard along with a little that was worth while.-n modicum of pathos that rang true, of real tragedy and a saving grace of genuine acting In strong situa- tions. If a play Is useful as a purge of the emotions, as Aristotle said, the elno- tions of this persistent first-nighter, his sternly repressed impulses to tears and laughter. must have been in a readily responsive state.
 No doubt 1t was a liberal education of it's kind. To have looked upon every chorus girl in New York and seen every show girl jn her langvorous poses, to have followed the really competent act ors through their seasons repertoire - that is surely something, though the al- lowance of wheat to chaff may be small. Yet the wonder remains at the self-ap- pointed ordeal which was so heroically endured in the pursuit of pleasure. Was 1t as a result of the task that he was never known to smile?

Sneaker Cannon and lhe Allies

The allies have secured control of the House and they do not hesitate to vote down Uncle Joe whenever opportunity presents itself. On Wednesday he spoke in an impassioned manner from the F"Calendar Wednesday," but speeches From the chair are no longer potential. They fall on deaf ears. They may, energize the allies who are now in the saddle.
 The insurgents are proud of their Insurgency. The more they insurge Fthe surer they are to be reelected next November. As a matter of fact they desire more opportunities to insurge zrather than less and the democrats are altogether willing to serve them Fol an insurgent is much nearer to true denocracy than he is to standpattism The history of politics does not show a clique that has fallen into public dis. favor faster or deeper than the stand. pat supporters of the Aldrich tarin It is robbing MT. Taft of his popu lnrity, and it is driving the speake, into his political grave, and Senator Aldrich would follow him if R. od Island had fair and just election laws Aldrich will remain in the Senate t, < become the butt of popular sentiment The speaker, poor man, Is about dow and out. and when New York. Ohl and Indiana go democratic this fall, tn country will conclude the s. o. p. lying close beside him.

LICHFIELD'S ANCIENT FAIR

From the Birmingham. England, Post. ichfield is one of the few places
 where it is still possible to breathe A the old-world atmosphere-Eng- land even of the seventeenth century. Not only do the streets and houses suggest the charm and peace of Johnsons days but the city today observes with conf meidable fidelity all the customs which have been handed down from former generations.
 One of the most important, and at the same time interesting, customs is the Shrovetide Fair, in connection with which the ceremonies peculiar to that event were duly carried out on Tuesday At mid-day the mayor of the city formally opened the Court of Pie Poudre, and then, followed by his retinue of fellow council lors and officials, proceeded to the old Market Square. There the scene was picturesque one. In the background round- abouts and show booths formed a medley of colors. In the foreground were the mayor and oheriff in their fur-trimmed robes and peaked hats, the town clerk in black gown and white wig, the mace bearers in colored cloaks, oldfashioned brooches and heavy clogs. the crier in scarlet jacket, carrying an elegant sword, and, lastly, the corporation in modern day array.
 Then the crier cleared his throat pre- paratory to reading the declaration "Oyez oyez; oyez.'' and announced ..The mayor, aldermen and citizens of the city of Lichheld. lord of the manor, and owners of this fair hereby give notice that this fair. which was usually held on Ash Wednesday, doth begin this day. during which fair 1t shall and may be lawful for all persons to buy. sell. and put to sale all goods. wares and vend- able commodities whatever, paying the usual stallages, plckedges, customs and duties for the same, and not using any fraud or deceit in buying or selling any unwholesome provisions whatsoever, and notice is hereby given that the Court Of
