gather from travellers excessive dividends
The interstate commission presents for
midable table of those dividends, and
as a result 1t declares that prices fot
berths must be reduced. This is a de-
eision that affects all who travel long dis
tances
The best feature of the deeision is the
difference it establishes between upper
and lower berths. No one wants an upper
berth if he can secure a lower one, and
yet the Pullman company has demanded,
and still demands, equal prices for both.
The decision of the interstate commits
sion will stand and nights ride will cost
when injunctions have run their course

while $1.10 will suffice for an upper berth.
These prices are reasonable and they will
surely become established, however much
the monopoly may seek to avoid them
in the courts.

Celebrating the Canal Opening

Five cities desire to celebrate in 1919,
or thereabouts, the opening OF the
Panama canal by presenting a great
fair of the customary sort. These cities
are New Orleans. San Francisco, San
Diego. washington and Tampa Atlanta
IL not in the running. 1t is too far in
The interior and toe innocent of water
TRANSPORTATION to have a grip on a
water event.
The race is really confined to the FIVE
cities already named. and all five are
appealing to public favor. New Or
leans is very much in earnest. and as
II is the outlet of the most productive
valley in the world, and 10 near the
canal itself. it seems to have several
points in its favor that none of Its Ri
walls has. .s4a&s AZ
Possibly, however. the squabble
among the five cities cannot be AMIGA
bly, determined, and worlds fairs may
be held in all i've. In that event New
Orleans has nothing to fear in the con
test Washington may attract to its
fair more newly married couples but
New Orleans will surely gather people
from the great Mississippi valley, which

Artistic But Popular

Birmingham's annual music festival,
which opens tomorrow night, should
appeal not only to persons of musical
culture but to every man and woman
who is able to distinguish one tune
from another. The programmes for the
five concerts, while possessing high ar
tistic value, are of the popular sort;
that is to say. the music is not over the
head of the average theatergoing audi
ence. Each of these programmes fur
nishes, in fact. an example of how music
NAV be at once educative and diverting
scholarly in composition and yet en-
joyabIe to the unframed listener.
OF course the better educated in music
one is, the greater the pleasure one has
IN listening to the music of the mas
ters. But there is scarcely man, wo-
man or child in this community who
would not be delighted with the over
lures, marches and symphonic works
played by the Damrosch orchestra. or
who would not be stirred in listening to
the singers
High class music such as the Biz
mingham Music Festival association is
providing this week is expensive. Bp'
It is both a luxury and factor In Biz
mingham's educational life; and. like
all luxuries. 1t costs money. In view
of the Importance of the festival and OF
the benefit the city derives from 1t as
an institution, it should be financially
as we'll as artistically successful. II
can easily be made financial success
If citizens in general will show an IN
terest in it and support it by buying
tickets. If the festival incurs no def
icit. one on even grander scale will
be assured for next year.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A curious trait of the Japanese is their
habit of taking on the hue of their sur
roundings. Japanese whom you see In
San Francisco are different in their dress
and manners than their countrymen are
anywhere in Europe or at home. Here
one needs to note their brown faces to
distinguish them from ourselves. In walk,
attire and street habits they are like us.
London Japanese are British in all ex-
ternals and even in their points OF view.
Paris Japanese are Parisians. A keen
observer looking at a group of little
brown army officers can always tell in
what country they were educated. The
lieutenant whose training was French

and even manages a sort of mustache

The stock Market

Henry Clews. in his Saturday review,
says in part:
"A decided change took place IN the
stock market this week. owing to the
decision of the supreme court to re-
argue the Standard Oil and Tobacco
cases. This means that 1t will be prac-
tically a year before final decision can
be rendered upon these highly import
ant cases. A great deal OF uneasiness
and uncertainty had been raised con-
corning the outcome Of these problems;
and much of the recent depression and
hesitation on the stock exchange was
due to this influence The unexpected
removal of such an incubus gives the
market fresh life and activity. Delay
is evidently the result of Judge Brew
er's death. and suggests a division OF
opinion In the court which necessitstes
waiting until the new appointment IL
made and the cases have been re-
argued. The belief. also, that the su-
preme court was not wholly antago-
nistic to corporations has had quite as
much to do with the revival OF conf
dence as the actual delay. In any event
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-04-18

an adverse decision had been fully dis
counted. and this unexpected action
proved the turning point of the mar
ket.
Another element of encouragement
came through reports from the agri-
cultural districts. 1t is now we'll un-
derstood that damage to winter wheat
was not as severe as reported, and it is
generally believed that the coming sea-
son will be one of full crops. Such n
result would be the natural sequence
of existing conditions. Prices for all
farm products have been very high, and
it is but natural that producers will
increase their output as far as pos
sible.
another very favorable indication is
the declining tendency of staple conf
modities. which should eventually slim
ulate exports and rectify the present
unsatisfactory condition in our foreign
trade.
1.-THE outlook for the local market is
for much wider activity. Several of the
most serious drawbacks referred to
above have been removed, and the
market will now have an opportunity
to respond to natural influences. A very
considerable drop in prices mas occur
red, many shares being 10 to 20 points
below the high prices of this year. Con-
sidering the situation in the supreme
court cases; the favorable outlook for
crops; the declining commodities mar
kets; the improving conditions in mon
ey, and the return of many operators
invigorated by their winter vacations.
the situation, 1t must be ACKNOWLEDGED,
favors a more active and a much broad
err mark

From the Savannah Press.
'As for prohibition in Georgia, there
isn't any, and there hasn't been any,
except in few localities and for a very
few weeks after the law took effect.
January /. 190s.'
This is the somewhat pessimistic con-
clusion reached by S. Mays Ball, we'll
known magazine writer of Atlanta, IN
a pamphlet headed. "Georgia's Attempt
To Be Good and Dry. and reprinted in
Leslie's Weekly of February 8, 10, II,
1910.
The substance of the pamphlet COW
ers studies of the subject made per-
sonally in Atlanta, Augusta and Savan-
nah.
The topic is treated with Mr.. Balls
we'll known facility of expression and
knack for getting at ultimate facts.
Those who are watching the political
situation in Georgia say that there is a
determined and well organized move
ment to INDUCE Georgia in the next Leg
islature to return to local option. 1t Is
announced from Atlanta that one or two
of the prospective candidates for gov
ernOr are CONSTRUCTING the possibility
of making the issue on the local OPP
ton platform. Those who are watch
| ing the announcements of candidates
in the interior of the state say that
very few of them are saying anything
about prohibition. 1t is given out in
some quarters that a strong candidate
who would make the race for governor
on the local option platform might win
1t is confidently believd in Atlanta
that Governor Brown will be can
didate to succeed himself. He has made
no definite announcement, and it Is no.
probable that he would materially
change his position from his last race
when he said that he would not alter
the status of the prohibition question
in Georgia. How this question ma.
govern the opposition, or whether Their,
will be any opposition. remains to b,
seen.

supposed to be due to differences between
the speaker and Payne over the tariff the
chairman of the ways and means COM
