THIS IS THE PRICE OF
 INDUSTRIAL GRANDEUR


 It was cottage of small pretentions, but it's well kept lawn and garden made the place very attractive.
 The neat and orderly arrangement of the plain though comfortable furnishings was particularly inviting It was the home of mechanic and was partially paid for.
 Arising from the table, where he had just finished his morning meal, the young husband romped with his baby boy. while his wife prepared the lunch basket
 Kissing them affeetionately he left the cottage. Goodbye, Jack" said the wife. With a smile and a wave of the hand as he closed the gate he went to his daily toll With light heart the little wife re- sumed her household duties and soon the cosy home was put in order. While busy fingers were plying the needle she in- dulged in day dreams of what they would do when the home was their own.
 The husband meanwhile had reached the place of his employment. With hun dreds of others he took his place amid the clang and clamor of whirring ma chinery. A little later in the day a terrific report was followed by the crash of fall ing machinery. When the dust and steam had cleared away the bleeding and man. gled corpse of the young fellow was re- vealed.
 At the cottage the young wife sings blithly as she goes about her household duties. A man appears at the door. Recognizing a neighbor and fellowwork- man of her husband she greets him pleasantly. when something in the ex- pression of the mans face startles her. The poor fellow unused to such mission, stammers something about Jack With wildly beating heart she implores him to speak. He tells the dreadful news and with an agonizing cry she falls to the ground, mercifully unconscious. Neigh bors are called, who offer their aid and sympathy. At the gate appears a man of God. He has heard the awful news and come to render any assistance with in his power. With infinite compassion he directs the weeping widow to the only true source of consolation. His gentle words allay her wild anguish for the time being. Oh, ye scoffers of religion, would you deny to one so bereaved the ray of light and hope" or from the stricken heart that peace the world cannot give?"
 After the interment, back to the now desolate cottage comes the widow and the baby his infant mind not realizing the dreadful truth looks into his mothers face with questioning eyes that are so wonderfully like his fathers and asks, When is daddy coming back?' For an- swer she clasps him to her heart and her tears break out anew.
 This is true incident, and one that, alas, is all too frequent in all industrial centers, for men must work. and women must weep" Iris the price of industrial grandeur

 Work of the Democrats
 Although democratic leaders do moi relish the idea of not being able to drive home staggering blow at the Cannon organization. they appreciate the mo- tives of the insurgents, who believe their duty to the republican party necessitates that they should first try to change the rules along the lines indicated by agree ment among republicans themselves and. failing that, by forcing the adoption of the Norris resolution with democratic help.
 None of the democratic leaders tonight appeared willing to blame the insurgents for anything that happened today, and it is the indication tonight that If the rules must be changed tomorrow with the as- sistance of democratic votes. that the minority will furnish the ballots In either event Speaker Cannon would not serve on the new rules committee and while either course would mean the de- feat of the speaker, in the event of a compromise along the lines demanded by the insurgents, he would not be openly humiliated The democrats would be able to claim their just share on the defeat of Speaker Cannon whichever of these courses is adopted.

but he was not unknown here before he appeared at the Jefferson theatre last night in superb performance of 'The House Next Door," an adaptation of a German comedy made by J. Hartley Manners, and presented under the direc- ton of Conan and Harris. MT. bod sons reception was enthusiastic. to say the least, and it must have warmed his heart as he said in graceful curtain speech, to be accorded such a welcome in a theatre where he had appeared but once before, on that occasion having played the part of Pierre in the al-star cast of "The Two Orphans" five or six years ago.
 Both MT. Dodson and the members of his company acquitted themselves exceed ingly well and the performance proved to be altogether enjoyable. Mir. Dodson's art is admirable and his comedy powers unique. In "The House Next Door, he has a part which gives him opportunities that he grasps with rare precision and his portrayal of a crusty, irrascible old Englishman. nobly born and steeped in prejudice, a ruined spendthrift withal was one to be remembered. It is enough to say that MT. Dodson has won an em- phatic success in this play and long be- fore he reached Birmingham it had been set down as one of his notable achieve ments.
 'Tfhe House Next Door is essentially d comedy and very excellent one. but there are certain underlying truths ap- nfrfaipiOp da hroa b,,,,, .,,f4, fraternal spirit between the races that are not 10 be overlooked. Sir John Cots- wold, largely through his own negligence has become ruined and his property has fallen into the hands of Sir Isaac Jacob- son, a wealthy Hebrew, who lives next door. Always prejudiced against Jews. 1 his present plight still further increases Sir Johns hatred and he breathes ana themas at every step in a truly comic manner. The son and daughter of Sir Isaac and the son and daughter of Sir John fall in love. Matters are sadly com plicated Sir John getting madder every minute.
 But in the end, finding that the young people are very unhappy over his attitude and discovering also that he had wronged Sir Isaac, who had been secretly a bene- factor instead of an enemy, the hot Eeaded old man relents.

1. 4 N. DECIDES
ON DOUBLE TRACK
UNDERSTOOD THAT WORK WILL
START ON LINE BETWEEN BIR-
MINGHAM AND DECATUR BEFORE
FIRST OF THE YEAR

1t has been announced officially that
the Louisville and Nashville intends to
double track the line between this city
and Decatur. Added to this yesterday
was the statement that the work of dou-
BILE tracking will commence between this
time and Christmas. The belief has been
current for several weeks that the work
was only awaiting an analysis of local
conditions by Milton H. Smith, presi-
dent of the Louisville and Nashville, and
it is said he has finally decided that
Alabama will be conservative this sea-
son. The attitude of the recently NOM
mated legislature has been taken into
and it is believed here that
Mr.. Smith has decided that the men re-
Gently nominated will not make any eff
fort to enact adverse laws. Not that
It is the belief that corporations will
not be regulated, but it Is stated that
Mr.. Smith believes the new state leg
isature will be inclined to assist railroads
rather than to injure them.
The double tracking of the Louisville
and Nashville will mean the expenditure
of several hundred thousand dollars and
will give employment to a vast army
of men. The work will be in course of
construction about one year before COM
pleted. 1t will give the Louisville and
Nashville facilities for handling the great
est tonnage in its history and will other
wise facilitate railroad operations be-
tween this city and northern points.

The joint meeting between the City

the two vital interests agreed upon the
needs of a viaduct and with only a few

The citizens have discussed the matter
from every viewpoint. A few expressions

the burden surrounding the construction
of a viaduct. In other cities the ques-
ton has been settled along lines decid-
eddy more advantageous to the city. I'm

the views expressed as to our needs of a
viaduct. I think we need one, two or
three. However, I do not think the city
should be given the major portion of the
expense. l hope the plan as now offered
by the companies will be modified so we
can consider it favorably. AS it now
stands it would be foolish for the city
of Birmingham TO accept plan that car

city, but relieves the railroads of i'm

them in other ways. I hope to see the

them completed, but I will never consent
to the plan now before our commit
