audience.
But there were two things present
that were not down ON the program.
One was several boys that, from their
behavior, we should Judge were try
ing, as DR.. Wilding said in his SER

their parents, and the other was sew
eral picture hats. We are an admir-
err of fine hats in almost any place
except in an audience and it would
be we'll to remember that those sit
ting in the rear paid for the privi-
lege to see the entertainment and
not picture hats.

the forestry bureau by Senator Hepburn,
the Senate today passed the agricultural
appropriation bill. AS passed. the bill

carried by the bill as it passed the House.

lines to keep out diseased cattle; the
making of lump sum appropriations for
any bureau of the department is pro-
hibited, and sfO,0o0 is appropriated for an
investigation of the orange grove pest
known as the white fly.
The first two amendments were made
at the instance of the committee on agri-
culture and the last on request of Sen

the white fly is doing great damage in
his state.
The lump sum- provision is intended
TO meet the criticism directed at the
methods heretofore employed in making
appropriations for the forestry bureau.
In accordance with the amendment
agreed upon today the Secretary of me
Treasury will he required to hereafter
submit detailed estimates of approprla-
| lions required.

TAFT DELIVERS AN
ADDRESS TO NEGROES

Washington, March S.-President Taft in
an address to an audience of several hum
bred negroes here tonight at the rally in
the interest of Wilberforce university of
Ohio. made strong plea for university
education for the negro.
1.-The negro is a great and growing fac
tor said the President. 'At the close
of the war there were 100000 negroes;
today there are 100000, and they are a
race with whose history the United States
has been bound and with whose progress
and Improvement 1t always must be bound
and united
while the white people and the negroes
live contentedly together in this country"
said the speaker, 1.-The negro as race
must have educated leaders, who must
come from highly educated white class.
We hear many criticisms of higher edu-
cation of the negro and hear that money
spent on the education of the negro is
wasted 1 do not agree with these crit
les The negro race must have the high
the better for the community. Negroes
are susceptible to pulpit influences. and
their ministers who are the best educated
and not exhorters, can do more than any
body else in the uplift of the race. The
better educated their industrial teach
ers, SO much the better for the race as a
unit
Among the other speakers were Asso-
ciate Justice Harlan of the supreme court
and Senator Dick of Ohio.

Movement for Federal Building

Birmingham has long since outgrown its
present federal building, but only now
since the city rises above the 100000 popu-
lation mark has there been any chance
to induce the government to take steps
to provide an adequate edifice.
The first thing to be done by the gov
eminent is to purchase a suitable site.
CONGRESSMAN Underwood thinks the time
opportune to ask for an appropriation
for that purpose. He has called upon
the Chamber of Commerce to move in
the matter and back him in his efforts,
and this the chamber, through its board
of directors, is doing. No democrat in
Congress has stronger influence than Mr..
Underwood and the outlook for getting
the desired appropriation at this session
is very bright. AS realty values natur-
ally advance rapidly in a growing city
like Birmingham, it stands to reason
that the sooner TIE government secures
site the better
When the government builds in a city
of Birmingham Importance and future
promise to put its best engineers and ar
ehitects to work in making the plans.
And in order to design a vast structure
on artistic lines the architect must not
be hurried.
With a site acquired this year the
treasury department officials, under
whose supervision public buildings are
erected, will proceed to have tentative
sketches made. And when the next Con-
gress meets it should be easy to get an
appropriation of million dollars or more
for the work of construction. But it is
now for the site, and the Chamber of
Commerce will concentrate its energy on
that particular matter and wait with
patience for the rest. AS the pur-
chase of the ground will commit the gov
eminent to a new building it may be
reasonably expected that within the next
three years a million dollar pile will be
in course of construction.

This year may, and the next year,

Indiana is now the chief maker of
open hearth rails. Gary is beginning

Indiana was followed by Pennsylvania,
Colorado, Alabama, Ohio, New York,
Illinois, Maryland and New Jersey in
the order named. Before 1909 Ala :
bama had been the leading producer
and in the production of the present
wear Alabama may regain a point or
two that she lost in 1909.

anteed bank cannot be secured and
believe 1t should be so constituted
as to keep the deposited money in the
communities where the depositors live"
Senator owen considers the postal
savings bank as but another form of
the guaranty of bank deposits. 1t
will bring from hiding many millions
of dollars and these millions will at
once be redeposited in the local banks.
1t will prevent runs and panies be-
cause the unreasoning will trust Uncle

development of the country, The post
office now issues bills of exchange and
there is no good reason why 1t should
not receive deposits. Both parties are
committed to it and Senator Owen
pholds it chiefly because it will prove
an important factor in preventing
panics, affording as it does a
safe place of deposit to the
timid who are the dread of banks
in panieky times.
Senator owen frankly says he would
prefer a guaranty plan modelled after
that of his own state, but lacking
that he accepts the postal savings bank

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR DEMOCRACY

: New York, March s.-The Tammany
club of the Tenth assembly district
grew enthusiastic over the rosy DEM
ocratic prospects tonight. julius Har-
burger, leader of the district, delivered
a speech in which he characterized
Mayor Gaynor as the strongest dem
ocrat who could be nominated for the
presidency"
1.-The democracy in the nation and in
the state can be rehabilitated, said
Hamburger. I'VE should carry the next
house of representatives and elect the
next state ticket"
The mayor speaking before the
State Association of Master Plumbers
this afternoon, defended the morality
of New York city and said that in his
opinion several upstate towns, includ-
ing Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse,
for instance, We're worse when 1t came
to saloon regulations than other sec
lions. There is constant howl
against Sunday selling in New York,
he said, while from here to Lake Erie
the side doors swing all day Sunday
and nothing Is said about it."

FRANK GOULD Welded
TO EDITH KELLER

New York, March S.-Friends of
Frank Gould have received information
of such a nature as to cause them to
load him with congratulations on his
marriage to Edith Keller, the World
will say tomorrow. She is now in
Paris, having reached there about the
same time Mr.. Gould did, FIVE months
ago. Mr.. Gould's most intimate friends
give the story of the marriage credence,
and Mrs. Howard Keller, his former
mother-in-law. is quoted as having told
some of her friends she had every rea-
son to believe it.
The former Mrs Frank Gould had no
personal information on the subject, but
she expressed herself as not surprised,
since she had known that Miss Keller,
who, curiously enough, bears her mai
den name, although not related to her,
had captivated her former husband,
whom she divorced last-year, says the
newspaper
The report of the marriage is being
made the basis of an effort on the part
of Mrs. Gould to have the divorce de-
cree changed so as to give her the sole
custody of her two little children.

EXPRESS COMPANY'S
STOCK GOES HIGHER

New York, March S.-United States
Express company stock today advanced
from 120 to 125 on transactions of 500
shares. The advance was attributed by
some men to the death Of former Sena-
tor Thomas c. Plat, president of the
company, which 1t Is said may open the
way to a settlement of the dispute
among the stockholders.
The minority has been trying for sew
eral years to induce the controlling in
terests to open the books to their in
spection and to call a meeting of stock
holders. None has been held in more
than 40 years. Signatures of two
thirds of the stockholders required to
call meeting, have never been OBJ
tanned, the courts having refused to
order one, and bills introduced in the
Legislature to amend the charter have
invariably made few friends.

Congressman HardWick and The Parcels Pos

The farmer is not clamoring for pos
tai savings bank, He wants. above all
else, a parcels post. Other countries have
them, and this country would long ago
have htched the parcels post onto the
rural free delivery system if the ex-
press companies had not stood in the
way.
The average rural free delivery wagon
carries less than 10 pounds of mails on
each trip. The service is not self-sustain-
ing. The pay of the carriers on the
rural routes is inadequate. Rural conf
munities are deprived of the privileges
of receiving packages that the farmers
In European countries nave long had de-
livered to them as letters or papers are
delivered. All these things could be rem
edied by letting the rural free delivery
wagon carry a hundred pounds, or sew
eral hundred pounds, a day to people
along a route.
Congressman Hardwick of Georgia
asks Congress to vote $4,000 with which
to give the parcels post trial on rural
free delivery routes. His effort to get the
system started should be adopted. The
farmer wants it, and the farmers family
wants it even more than tie farmer does.
If CONGRESSMAN Hardwicks resolution
were adopted and the parcels post were
given fair trial, there widespread
belief that it would put the postal serv-
ice on a self-sustaining basis. while 1t
would prove great blessing to all rural
communities.
