must be added Toledo, Columbus, o.,
Worcester, Syracuse, New Haven, Los
Angeles, Memphis, Portland, Atlanta and

New Haven have scarcely more each
than 1000 above Birmingham, but the
census figures are final and the two
cities do each outrank this city.
In other words Birmingham claims the
thirty-sixth place in the list of American
cities. and It will not miss it more than
a point two.
Ten years ago it was tailender in the
list of the 100 largest cities, and it
can well afford to stand content in the
thirty-sixth place
The larger cities of the country are as

The conductor said nothing, but stood

In 1910 and In 1920

The city of Cleveland rejoiced exceed
ingly when it was awarded an official
growth of 469 per cent. So did Atlanta
when ii knew that its percentage stood
at RS So did Richmond when it was
announced that it's gain had been 50 per
cent. And big New York was compla-
Gently gratifed with a percentage of
81. These percentages look small along
side the percentage of a town that sold
its first lot 80 years ago; that was nearly
annlhilated at the start by a cholera
epidemic that is today awaiting water
transportation How it could in that time
and under such circumstances have in
creased its numbers to 1872 SIS is one of the
wonders of a wonderful country
This city is now securely lodged in the
100000 class, and comparison with small
towns or with towns in Oklahoma that
were scarcely begun in the previous CEN
sus year is eliminated. Comparisons
legitimately relate to cities in the 100000
class, and thus far the census bureau
has not disclosed the name of one that
approaches Birmingham in rate of
growth. No prophet is needed to say
there will be none Nearly any observer
can see that the percentage of 245.4 will
not be eoualed in this broad and pros
porous country in cities containing 1oo,-
900 in population or over Seattle and
Los Angeles may be hoping to outrank
all cities in percentage but the official
figures will turn their aspirations to
ashes. Birmingham simply stands at the
top of its class in rapidity of growth.
This is greatly to Alabama's credit. and
to Alabama's profit. Heretofore this state
has logged along without leader in the
100000 class. It has one now that has
come to stay and to grow and to be-
come worthy center of trade and in
dustrial effort
The record of 1920 is now to be begun,
and that record will be based much more
than the wayfarer imagines upon the
Panama canal and an open Warrior. The
chief products of this district are great
in bulk and weight. Such products have
never been carried anywhere advantage
ously by rail. They need not be so
carried In this district in the near flu
ture. When we have filled the Warrior
with barges, laden with coal and coke.
iron and steel, to be transported with
or without the breaking of bulk TO New
orleans, to all the other gulf ports, to
Cuba, to Colon and to the great Pacific
world, we will have begun the record
that will be summed up in glorious figures
in 1920.

LAMENT OF THE IRISH EMIGRANT

Yours was the good, brave heart Mary,
That still kept hoping on,
When the trust In God had left my soul,
And my arms young strength was
gone;
There was comfort ever on your lip
And the kind look on your brow
l bless you. Mary. for that same,
Though you cannot hear me now
thank you for the patient smile,
When your heart was fit to break
When the hunger pain was gnawin' there
And you hid 1t for my sake;
bless you for the pleasant word.
When your heart was sad end sore
o, I'm thankful you are gone, Mary,
Where grief can't reach you more.
I'm bidding you a long farewell,
My Mary, kind and true!
But I'll not forget you. darling,
In the land I'm going to;
They say there's bread and work for all
And the sun shines always there
But I'll not forget old Ireland,
Were 1t fifty times as fair!
And often In those grand old woods
I'll sit and shut my eyes,
And my heart will travel back again
To the place where Mary lies;
And I'll think I see the little stile
Where we sat side by side,
And the springin' corn and the brighA
May morn
en-first you were my bride.

Aristotle, musty old Greek philoso-

as it existed in his time. 1t has changed
little since his day despite the abolition
of chattel slavery and the swallowing of
little states by the big ones. He was an
aristocrat and a monopolist In theory In
his politics he narrates. with seeming
approval an incident in the life OF
Thales, the first of the Greek philoso-

Aristotle and was one of the Seven Wise
Men.
If there had been a weather bureau IN
Greece. Thales would have been at its
head, for he knew astronomy and ne

season for olives, he quietly hired in the
winter all the olive presses in the coun-

a huge fortune for himself Aristotle

That occurred 26 centuries ago. and the
fundamental principles of trade and COM
