Leon, suggesting that the CONNER

cooperate in an effort to build a
permanent road across southern
Iowa between Ft. Madison and Ne

think that Des Moines should be per-
mitted to do everything even if she
does do things and suggests that
a meeting be held in the near future,
probably at Leon, to discuss the prop
osition. If the meeting is held Presi-
dent Bevis will appoint delegates to

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-04-24

From the Sheffield Standard.
A handful of Mr.. O'Neals personal
enemies in Florence. with the Herald of
that city as their mouthpiece, are parad-
ing, with great gusto, an allegation that
Meal voted for Palmer and Buckner in
1896.
Now, to the voter of average intelli-
gence, this must certainly appear ex-
tremely ridiculous. Thousands of south
crn democrats, men loyal and true to
their section, refused TO follow Mr.
B1yan's leadership. just as thousands of
others, in 1872, refused to follow Horace
Greedy, who had been nominated by the
national democratic convention. In both
Instances. high sense of patriotism was
the impelling force that inspired these
men, and we believe that time has fully
INDICATED the wisdom and integrity of
their action Mr. Greedy had been the
areh-enemy of slavery and merciless in
his criticisms of southern customs and in
stitutions. Mr.. Bryan's views on certain
questions were repugnant to old-line DEM
oerats end many refused to accept them.
The fact that they have been disoredited
end consigned to the rubbish heap is, of
itself, sufficient justification of those who
baked at his election to the presidency.
Mr.. O'Neal has never faltered in de-
votion to democracy. If he voted for
Palmer and Buckner-which, however, Is
enphatically dened-it was from sense
of duty without regard TO his own polit-
ical future. To resurrect that old, worm
eaten charge, at this time. shows that the.
opposition is, indeed, hard pressed Tor

d'dacy may be assailed.
Every one familiar with the situation is
aware that envy and personal spite are
the dominant factors in this impotent at
tempt to dscredit ONeal In his home
town. He will carry his county by an
overwhelming majority which will be no
less rebuke to his enemies than a tribute
to a worthy and distinguished fellow cit

THE MARATHON DANCE

From the Washington Post.
The marathon dance is the latest form
that the asininity of responsible persons
in small and large cities has taken. Prize
fights are condemned and prohibited in
many cities. The marathon dance, how
ever goes on undisturbed.
Sweeping over the country from the
west, the marathon dance is now a reg
ular feature Of hops and balls in New
. York and Brooklyn. In Brooklyn the
other night Joseph Morrisey and Alice
Dunn were hailed champion marathon
dancers of the world after they had
race was over they had to be carried
from the floor
Seventeen couples started at various
intervals through the night, the prize to
be awarded to the couple who made five
miles in the shortest time. Many couples
dropped to the floor with exhaustion,
while seconds emptied buckets of water
on the remaining contestants to refresh
and urge them on. Only two couples
were on the floor when the final bell
rang.
At the bottom of the crusade against
cock fights was the humane thought that
the feathered beasts did not know what
they were doing and had not sense
enough to avoid cruelty Man stepped in
to protect them. The same reason should
have weight in consideration of the mar
athon dance. 1t is very evident that the
couples who take part in such races do
not realize what they are doing, and
are goaded to the point of endanger
ing their lives by sheer bravado.
Without preparatory training the mara
tbon race menaces the health, and even
the lives of all who take part. This is
especially true of the young women who
engage in such contests. If g. cock fight
or bull fight is wanton cruelty. the
marathon dance, with its human victims,
is far worse. Even though the effects
may not be noticed Immediately after
the dance, they will not be long in MAX
ing an appearance.
Both for hygienic and moral reasons,
the authorities should put stop to the
idiotic and vulgar marathon dance.

Aid for the Mulga Mine Victims

The movement for the relief of the
bereaved families left by the Mulga mine
disaster is in excellent hands. and the
public response will assuredly be prompt
and generous. The sum of $4,000 was
quickly raised to aid the sufferers at
the Southern Steers Virginia mines, and
the good that fund accomplished has
sever been fully told The Widows and
orphans it lifted from utter want
should inspire our citizens to make a
like effort in aid of the families left
helpless at Mulga-
Explosions of gas seem to be unavoid-
able in coal mines, and the suffering
they would entail would be dreadful were
It not that good citizens of ready means
come to the aid of the helpless. A re-
lief fund would be a great blessing at
Mulga, and The Age-Herald feels sure
that the appeal of the relief committee
in aid of destitute women and children
will fall on open ears and warm hearts.

UNITY

BY Alfred Noyes.
Heart of my heart, the world is young:
Love lies hidden in every rose!
Every song that the skylark sung
Once. we thought, must come TO a close;
Now we know the spirit of song.
Song that is merged in the chant Of the
whole
Hand In hand as we wander along,
What should we doubt of the years that
roll?
Heart OF my heart, we cannot die,
Love triumphant In flower and tree,
Every life that laughs at the Sky
Tells us nothing can cease to be:
One, we are one with a song today,
One with the clover that scents the
void,
One with the Unknown. far away,
One with the stars, when earth grows
old. ~ sHf
Heart of my heart, we are one with the
wind, ~
One with the clouds that are whrled
DER the lea,
One in many Q broken and blind,
One as the waves are at one with the
sea!
Ay! when life seems scattered apart,
Darkens. ends as a tale that is told. Z
One, we are one, o heart Of my heart
One, still one, while the world grow1

Southern League Games to Date

As game after game of the Southern
league is played, it becomes increasingly
palmer that the eight teams are well
matched, there being no team In the
league that has a walk-away to the PEN
nant.- The leader on yesterday morn
ing had won but one more game than the
bartender. The pennant, because they
are all swift, is to all and not to any
one team, and so may It continue to the
closing games. One or two teams may
need to be strengthened, but this can
readily be done when the major leagues
begin to release surplus players.
Not in the entire history of the South
srn league has there been promise of
better sport in the early days of the sea-
the true fan wants He does not desire.
r at least should not desire, an unequal
and one-sided contest for the pennant
. Keep hope alive in the breasts of every
teams and keep above all else good order
and true sportsnanfilze feeling in every
team In the league This, the Age-Her-
sid is glad to say, is the promise Of the
games thus far played, and there Is no
reason why it should not hold good to the
md of the season.

Monday Week
arrives.

A week from tomorrow the democrats
OF Alabama will choose the next governor.
1t will be Emmett o'Neal.
It was Mr.. oNeal who led the move
ment which saved us from the prohibition
amendments political measure which
Col. Hilary A. Herbert truthfully charac-
terized as "a monstrous thing" But for
o'Neal's courageous leadership the
amendment would have come near win
ming by default of an organized effort to
oppose it.
November g. the day on which the pro-
posed amendment met with crushing de-
feat, was a red letter day for Alabama
It was epoch-making In Alabama's his
tory, for it showed what freemen can do
when they rise in their might to over
throw tyranny.
Ordinary gratitude should be almost
enough to make Mr.. O'Neal governor.
Had the amendment won, Alabama would
have been set back for many years; IN
vestment capital and progressive people
alike avoid sections dominated by IA
natics. All broad-minded men certainly
breathed freer when it was found that
majority of more than 1900 was cast
against the amendment.
That victory for liberty should be fol-
lowed up and it will be followed up by
large majority for O'Neal. for in addition
to the sense of gratitude which will ac-
tuate thousands of voters, the gentleman
who carried the anti-amendment stand
ard is singularly well equipped in every
particular for the high office of gov
ernor of Alabama.

In a basket while the bad ones are to
be left here below to wrestle with the
fiery vapors and noxious gases of the
comets tail. Whether baskets are to be
provided in all communities that have
good and bad negroes is not stated, but
1t is certain that all have become pos
sessed of a common date, namely, May
Is, when the comet is to eliminate.
The rapid spread Of comet yarns should
be anticipated, and every effort made to
stop all such nonsense This district In
particular wants no craze of that sort,
and the way to avoid it is to prick all
the comet superstition before it can do
harm to our material interests. En-
ployers of negro labor should begin
campaign against the false prophets be-
fore the day of the alleged cataclysm
arrives.

LISzT,s LOVE AFFAIRS
From the London Times.

from the LONDON I1meS.
Though not of a specially passionate
temperament, Liszt exercised an irresisti-
BILE fascination over the enthusiastic lit
erary ladies of his day. They were all
at his feet, and. as he seems always to
havo had an eye to the main chance, he
chose from time to time some lady of
high rank as well as mental ability, to
unite her life with his. The Comtesse
d'Agoult C'Daniel Stern') and Princess
Carolyne Sayn- Wittgenstein were sue

episodes more transient If less impor-
tant. There was a singer of great emil

made her way into his presence in male
attire, hopeless of attracting him by
other means; another threatened to MUIR
der him; and altogether his experience
read like a rather crude melodrama.

would upset and dominate his life. AS

AT THE JEFFERSON DINNER

From the New York Sun.
Twas sweet to hear in all the fuss and
turmoil of the five dollar Jefferson din
ner at Washington last wednesday night
i the old familiar pipe OF the Hon. John
w. Tomlinson of Alabama. It was a
| feebler pipe than we have been accus-
| toned to, less fraught with joyousness
and optimism, for Tomlinson could no
longer close his eyes to the stern facts of
politics and battle his soul In Bryan &C.
stacy. Still, 1t was pleasant and refresh
ing to mark that note again. Robbed of
its quality Of prophecy and bereaved of
the thrill of an imperishable enthusiasm,
it was nevertheless agreeable to the SYM
pathetic ear and instinct with hopeful
ness subdued perhaps, that survives even
sees promises in a sky that at present
seems to bear no Bryan caveat.
The Hon. John w. Tomlinson did HIM
self proud under most distressing cir
| cumstances, and we believe that on his
way back to Alabama he will recover
his spirits and his chest and realize that
the future holds possibilities of demo-
cratic victories in spite-and perhaps more
so on that account-of the disappearance
of the Hon. William ]. Bryan as the
party's guide. philosopher and friend.
Birmingham is a new city. In its veins
flows and bubbles the ichor of exuberant
youth. Tomlinson will immense himself
in that invigorating atmosphere and lit
tie by little forget the Platte and it's
prophet and the rainbows and dancing
will-o' -the-wisps that once dazzled and
misled him.
or the Hon. Josephus Daniels we failed
to see his name upon the list of those
present" He may have been there, sit
ting glum and bitter watching the sad
cataclysms while John Temple Graves
told fiattering tale of harmony to which
his stricken soul could not respond. On
the other hand. he may be waiting for an
other and cheaper feast, the one 10O-cent
dinner beloved by Dollar Bill. Again
and this is most probable-he may lurk
in the deep boskage of the Wilmington
MOSES with no sounds to break his mel
ancholy rapture save those of the below
ing alligator and the local frog.
The Hon. John Temple Graves was
easily the first chop at that gathering.
He came with tributes in both hands, an
overture of reunion and reconciliation.
with million votes behind him and
painting radiant horoscopes upon an an
cry and forbidding sky. He shed the las
civious blessings of the lutte. He ban
ished from his cadences the intoxicating
undertone Of old, and wiped from his
melodious chin the honey of Hymettus.
In fact. he made a straight business prop
| osition to the assembled five dollar demo-
Gratis, and judging by the subsequent
commotion, the uproar and the shouting
of the captains he made hit.
Take u.s. he said in substance to the
assembled democrats, take us on our
| own terms"
