ALDERMEN IN EARNEST

 The council is in earnest about the salary proposition. and 1t is quite prop- able that the ordinance will be adopted. They point out that Atlanta. Chicago. Detroit and many other cities pay their aldermen.
 Judge W. II. Abernathy. a leader in the city democratic committee. said yeE- terday: T think the aldermen are en- titled to pay. don't believe I would do the work they do without pay, but I think the salary should only be paid when the aldermen attend both the committee and the council meetings.

Bradley J. Saunders

Bradley J. Saunders. who is a large owner and dealer in East Lake real es- tate, said yesterday:
 q think the crying need Is a viaduct on First avenue. This serious civic fault should be relieved at once, for every day hundreds of the salt of the earth are going to and from East Lake, Woodlawn and Avondale to this city and being en- dangered.
 'The seriousness of the First avenue grade crossing danger cannot be exag- gerated. About 50 trains pass the cross ings every day and every time one passes the car tracks on First avenue a cer- tain amount of danger enters into the trip do not believe that Twenty eighth street Is suffering for a viaduct. The opening of that street would not relieve the city of any grade crossing danger It would merely reopen street that has been closed ever since the Gait house was situated on the Chamber of Commerce corner
 we are certainly negligent if we per init First avenue to go unprotected, thus endangering human life, and turn around to build over street never used.

Gen. B. ". Rucker

| Gen. D. W. Fucker, in speaking of the viaduct proposal. said yesterday: "Since the proposition submitted by the
 railroads and corporations to the city of
 Birmingham for the construction of via
 duct either over First avenue or Twen- ty-eighth street, much has been said through the press, and this question at
 this time seems to be a live topic.
 q have been impressed with the re-
 marks of MT. W. W. Crawford, presi-
 dent of the American Trust and Savings
 bank, which appeared in The Age-Herald
 on the morning of August 3. He clearly
 sets forth the facts, and furthers the
 closing of streets which a great many
 place considerable stress upon. The rail- roads request no streets closed that are now open, nor has the city the right to open streets other than Twenty-sixth,
 Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth. As to the
 avenues requested closed, these avenues
 are now closed from Twenty y-sixth street
 to the property line of the South and
 North Alabama Railroad company, with the exception of Second avenue. Considering these facts, the proposition of the railroads and corporations as to construction of the viaducts Is fair, in that they propose assuming the cost of construction or Same relieving the city
 of the objectionable crossings, thereby eliminating delays and risk to travel.
 "As to the law, mention of which gives the city the right to force the construc- ton of viaducts and the maintenance of
 same, the railroads propose to bear the
 burden of the expense, except as to ap- breaches and the maintenance of the side walk and roadway. The city now main-
 tains roadway of all streets; why should | maintenance of roadway on viaduct be any different?
 .As to the abutting damage, the law is silent and there is doubt as to whether the city can force the construction of viaducts over any street without giving | first to the railroads a right clear of any burden.
 'It is surprising to note the many ex- pressions from different ones on so i'm portant a matter, where they have given l such little thought or consideration to 1t, many of whom we know to be fair, but. | judging from their expressions we are | forced to the conclusion that their ex- pressions are merely off-hand.
 'The railroads are handling their pos | sessions and furnishing ways and means for their transportation. Is not the city asking too much when they ask the rail- roads to furnish ways and means to | handle theirs ?"

be on. That it viii be waged relent-
lessly on both sides. and that the
struggle for victory will be intense, is
manifest
On the one side will be Colonel
Roosevelt, with MS new. progressive
Republican organization, a list of pro-
gressive candidates for State office.
and a platform which it is hoped is
broad enough for both progressives
and regulars to stand upon On the
other side will be Tsmmany and the
upstate Democratic organization, with
a list of candidates probably as strong
as could be mustered without Gay
nor at its head, and platform which
should appeal strongly to voters.
The Democratic strength, however,
Is threatened by Hearst. In the past
the New York publisher has been IN
friendly to Dix, the Democratic can
didate for governor. One of the rea-
sons for the nomination of Stimson
as the Republican candidate for gov
ernoT was the possibility that Hearst
would support him. If Hearst opposes
Dix and supports Stimson- Republican
chances of victory in November viii
be strengthened.
Undoubtedly the most interesting
feature of the impending campaign viii
be the activity of Colonel Roosevelt.
He has assumed the leadership of the
Republican party in New York, and,
with it, the responsibility for Repub-
lican victory or defeat at The polls
With his popularity in their favor,
with a strong man heading the ticket,
and with the possibility OF Hearst
support, it seems that. as the case
stands today, the Republicans have

UNJUST TO BLAME UNIONS
FOR DISASTER.

Following a long and bitter con
troversy between the Los Angeles
Times and union labor, the Times
building has been demolished by fire
caused by explosion. A score OF more
of people are reported to have lost
their lives.
A great many unthinking persons
VIII jump to the conclusion that the
labor unions either ordered OF coun-
tenaneed an attack on the Times plant,
and will condemn union labor as an
institution for It. No such sentiment
Is warranted. There Is no evidence
that union labor is responsible for the
disaster. There Is not even any evi-
dence that disgTuntled, individual
members of any union are responsible
Justice to the cause of uniOnism
everywhere. and to the individual
unions that have been fighting the Los
Angeles Times, demands that opinion
as to the responsibility for the fright
ful accident be suspended until the
facts concerning the disaster are
known.
