Music for the Masses


A prominent worker for Birmingham
social and moral advancement, in discus
ing the Importance of open air concerts
said: Every citizen should give to
community cause. The giving TO sec
tartan and private enterprises should be
a matter of choice. but the giving tc
what adds to the general happiness or
prosperity of all the people is as much
a duty as the payment of taxes, which
are for the support of the community.
The ladies of the Music Study club in
their canvass this week for funds TO
provide Sunday concerts in the parks for
the enjoyment of the masses should be
encouraged to the ability of those whom
they approach. Especially should en-
ployers of labor give.
Primarily these concerts are for the
great masses who cannot take summer
trips, who cannot pay big prices for the
atrical performances and who have but
one day in the week for rest and recre-
alton. A little music on Sundays makes
workingman feel that there is something
in life besides the six days of toll just
behind him and just ahead of him. Ii
will tend to make Birmingham attrac-
tive to workingmen as permanent home.
mo city in the country is a more anx-
ious bidder for good, honest, satisfied
and home-loving labor than Birmingham.
Let's make Birmingham place in which
they will love to build their homes and
rear their families. Nothing to this end
will cost less or count for more than
free music in the public parks. 1t is the
experience of Europe, and it is the ex-
perience of those cities in the United
States which have tried 1t. No city has
ever given it up after inaugurating the

AS TO AVAILABILITY

From the Evansville Courier.
In a discussion in friendly spirit of
the availability of Governor Marshall as
the democratic nominee for the presi-
dency, the Chicago Inter Ocean finds that
lar wherewith to catch the national eye.
1t says:
I'm the selection of a presidential can
didate to win with, and not merely to go
on record with, there are two qualifica-
tions to be considered.
THE candidate must stand for prn-
ciples in government which accord with
American traditions and which appeal to
the peoples sober Judgment. Broadly
speaking Governor Marshall meets this
requirement.
But to be highly available the candi-
date must have won such conspicuous
success as draws to him national atten-
ton and gives him national dimensions
in the public eye and imagination. 1t
can hardly be said that Governor Mar
shall meets this condition"

least that is paradoxically sensational

governors the state has ever had with

from being comparatively unknown in
less than two years made himself the

unique.

TO A YELLOW PANsY

BY Helen Gray Gone.
To the wall of the old green garden
butterfly quivering came;
His wings on the sombre lichens
Played like yellow fame.
He looked at the grave geraniums,
And the sleepy four-o CLOCKS,
He looked at the low lanes bordered
With the glossy growing box.
He longed for the peace and the silence
And the shadows that heightened there.
And his wild wee heart was weary
CT Swimming the endless air
And now in the old green garden
l know not how II came
A single pansy Is blooming,
Bright as a yellow flame. -.
And whenever q gay gust passes,
II quisers as with pain,
For the butterfly soul within It
Longs for the winds again.

In Indiana completely dominated by a

Articles Lost In Street Cars

In Baltimore the city and suburban
street car lines publish daily list of
articles found in street cars. To show
the extent of such losses we publish the
list printed in the Baltimore American
of articles found on a single Saturday
and Sunday of the present month, as
follows:
q Umbrellas. Pgs. Laundry.
3 Pair Glasses. Pair Gloves.
2 Baskets. Flower Bulbs.
1 Pkg. Groceries. 1 Coat.
| Shoe. / Glove
l Pair Shoes. / Suitcase.
/ Grip. 1 Pkg. Clothes.
/ Ostrich Feather. l Box Cigars.
1 Box Cotton. Pkg. Underwear.
/ Roll Wall Paper. l Pkg. Papers.
l Pair Pants. ! Picture.
] Neck Piece. Sum of Money.
| Overcoat | Bank Book.
] Pkg. Butter. Prayer Book.
! Belt Ham.
/ Buckle l Apron.
! Pkg. Felt.
Baltimore is about five times the size
of Birmingham, and it's loss of 81 arti-
Giles would Indicate perhaps a loss of
about dozen articles a day in this city.
Even the lesser number should be re-
stored to owners, and If a daily adver-
tisement be unnecessary in this city,
after the manner of Baltimore, yet a
=-.eelzIy advertisement of articles found
in street cars would be helpful.
The advertisements are published in
the Baltimore papers under the head
Lost and Found in the classified adj
vertising pages, and the person who
misses an article after a ride in a street
car naturally turns to it to see if an
article similar at least to his has been
found. 1t is an excellent idea and Balti-
more seems at present to have monopo-
ly of it.

The Trade situation

The Trade Situation
Henry Clews concludes his Saturday
review as follows:
General business is quiet; some lines
particularly in the textile branches, be-
ing extremely dull. A slightly better
tone is observable in the metal indus
tries, and more activity is being shown
in the iron trade, although the Steel
Corporation is only running at about 20
per cent of it's full capacity. Crops are
making fair progress, the weather in
the past few weeks having been more
favorable. AS stated in previous ad.
continuance of good business than any
other single factor. and this year 1t is
especially important that the country
have a good harvest. Our foreign trade
continued to show a deficiency in ex-
ports, but the recent downward tend
ency of commodities in general should
tend to restrain imports and stimulate
exports, thus restoring the much de-
sired equilibrium in our foreign trade.
The decline in wheat is an especially
favorable incident. Fortunately, Eu-
rope is in much easier financial po-
sition than expected, lessening the
proba bilities of further drain upon
our gold supply, which would be very
unwelcome under existing circum-
stances
THE favorable features in the market
are these: Satisfactory crop progress,
easy money until crop requirements be-
gin. and approaching adjournment of
Congress. 1t may be that the market
leaders will be able to utilize these
conditions as a basis for forcing high
er market. Upon all good rallies, how
ever, we should advise croft taking
until intrinsic conditions improve"
Large Registration

IF there are 5000 democrats qualified 10

are 1000 white republicans in Birmingham,
and fully 1900 democrats who have not
been here long enough to register. but
who were citizens for census purposes.
Add to these 5000 democrats who might
have registered but who failed to do SO
simply through indifference. Here we
have a total of 1900 whites of voting

sons-men, women and children. Biz
