life. Every young man in our community of good morals who is loyal and fear less in the pursuit of high ideals is an asset of real value to the entire com munity Every young man in the com munity of bad morals and low ideals is corrupting influence. The development of character of the youth of a communi- ty is profoundly influenced by environ ment When the days work is done if there are not open to young men cheer full and attractive places with good and wholesome surroundings, it is almost cer- tain that many of them will seek out places which are attractive, where the influences are unwholesome and demoral- izing. A Young Mems Christian asso- citation with attractive quarters, oppor- tunities for athletic recreation, assistance in education and splendid moral sur roundings is one of the essentials in the civic growth of the community.
 But I join this movement for a broad CT and bigger reason than my interest in the development of the Young Mems Christian association. There are gath cred in Birmingham as many good, right thinking, broad gauged, fearless and high minded men as can be found in any town in the United States of equal population. but up to this time their energies have largely been applied In pursuit of indi- vidual fortune. Birmingham, in the mat ter of civic and philanthropic development has not kept pace with its material de- velopment A few earnest, devoted peo- pie have made beginning of civic de- velopment and philanthropic work in a number of lines. The Industrial Home for Boys, the Boys club, the Mercy Home, the Home for Friendless Girls, and similar institutions are beginning to be known in the community, but are struggling along in half-starved pre- carious fashion. Birmingham Is no longer poor town; but rich enough to do its part in the performance of civic and philanthroplc duties. It's parks should be made things of beauty instead of eye sores. Its splendid citizenship, without regard to creed, should join hands in an earnest, persistent, unwavering and determined effort to make of Greater Birmingham a better Birmingham. If the thoughtful, public-spirited men of this community can be united In an en- thusiastio movement to provide. through the medium of a splendid Young Mem s Christian association building, a whole some and uplifting influence for the young men of Birmingham, without regard to religious distinction. then, however use full this new building might be, am sure it's value to the community would not be comparable to the value of the spirit of cooperation Tor civic develop ment which this movement would bring about. The success of the Young Men s Christian association building would be but a starting point in a splendid march to union and civic progress.''

The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-01-06

The business men of Birmingham are rallying enthusiastically to the cam paign for the $200,000 Y. M. c. A. build ing fund which will begin on January IA and continue for 12 or 15 days. Wal Coal, Iron and Railroad company, has taken the responsibility of the chairman ship of the citizens committee and has entered actively into the fight.
 The association building was filled all day yesterday with the best business men of the city, who were attending committee meetings, with sleeves rolled up. A conference was held yesterday afternoon to which only a few of the leaders were invited. There is little talk, but everyone is working.
 c. s. Ward, the international secretary who has conducted 50 successful cam paigns in other cities, has the situation well in hand, and with the aid of a citizens committee of 50 men, declares that he can get the sum and more, too, if the people of Birmingham are halr as patriotic as they seem. MT. Ward does not know the word fail. The ap- peal for the fund will be made to the whole community. everyone having an equal opportunity to share in the work.
 Two active committees of 100 each will be appointed within the next week, one composed of business men, headed by T. H. Johnston, and the other composed of young men, the chairman to be an- nounced later.
 
 The campaign will be opened Friday night, January IA, with a great banquet when all the plans will be announced, and the whole strength of the commun- ity will be summoned Every day at noon the committees will hold meetings at the association, lunches being served and the work for the next 24 hours mapped out.
 The secretaries are very careful about the information which they give out, but the remarks of Walker Percy at the conference yesterday afternoon give an idea of the spirit which will characterize the campaign.
 In accepting the position as chairman MT. Percy said:
 'T have not been identified with the Young Mems Christian association work in this community. but I have decided to accept the chairmanship to which you have appointed me, and join earnestly in your work of securing modern and commodious quarters for the Young Mems Christian association in Birmingham. do this, first, because am tremendously interested in the young men of this com munity. The young men of any towr are. after all, the basis of its future growth morally and materially. There are thousands of young men in Birming ham, drawn from all parts of our coun try, many of them deprived of the whole. some and pleasant surroundings of home

New Tariff Law Justified.

The showing for the past year is
gratifying from every point of view
The fiscal results fifty crown the reve-
lations of the working of the tariff act
that have utterly refuted the allega-
tions of the enemies of that measure
The law Is far from perfection. but the
principal objects aimed at In revision
have been so quickly and so fully at
tanned that the transformation wrought
is surprising even to the most ardent
supporters of the bin In congress. The
need of more revenue was so urgent
that the trainers of the act felt that
the duty of providing funds for the
government was In some respects
more imperative than that of adjust
ing the protective schedules. Happily
no very serious inroads were made on
protection. and tho customs receipts
for the fiscal year prove the law To be
yeritablc deficit smasher." The
new tarin has been IN effect less than
eleven months. but Il has been tried
and found not wanting as an ally OF
the national treasury.

Don't Get Dizzy.

The Democrats can only profit by
Republican betrayal of the Republican
cause They have no ether hope on
earth than that which they gain
through hope for treason In the Re-
publican camp. How can a Democrat
go out and persuade farmer to vote
the Democratic ticket when the farm
er knows that during the last Demo
cratic administration a 250-pound hog
could be exchanged for only $50
pounds of granulated sugar, whereas
a hog of the same weight today will
bring 500 pounds of the same kind of
sugar. And the same comparison can
be made with calico and woolen goods
and everything farmer has to buy.
Fifteen years ago it took 10 bushels
of wheat to get a farm wagon; today
62 bushels, or one load of wheat, will
pay for a wagon. Fifteen years ago
the banks controlled the farmers; to-
day the farmers control the banks,
and these changes have come to pass
under the reign of the Republican
party. 1t seems to me the only ques-
ton is whether we can keep our heads
and avoid being made dizzy by the
force and power of the progress be-
ing made.-Senator Carter.

Study These Questions.

The tariff and the cost of living will
be an issue in the coming campaign.
The voters would do we'll to make a
study of these questions before the
coming campaign opens in order to
be able to judge inteIligently of the
merits of the question as presented by
the two leading parties. The Demo-
cratic party will endeavor to show
that the Payne tariff law is respon-
sible for the increased cost of necessi-
ties. In this connection we should re-
member that on every article that has
advanced in price the duties remained
the same as under the Dingley law
or was substantially reduced. AS an
illustration. we need only to point to
shoes and woolen goods. There was a
substantial reduction in both shoes
and the material entering into their
manufacture. yet shoes have advanced
in price about % per cent. The wool
en- schedule remains the same as un-
der the Dingley law, yet woolen goods
have advanced in price Hickory

WY TASHINGTON.-Added to his al
wv du r,,nnifoIA l11tint. In

WY gyASHINGTON-Added to his al
w ready manifold duties, James
Wilson, the secretary of agriculture,
is now made by congress the chief bug
inspector of the United States. 1t
came about with the passage of a
law identical with the pure food and
drug act, but covering all insecticides
and fungicides. The enforcement of
the law, as in the pure food law, is
vested In commission consisting of
the secretary of the treasury, the Sec
retary of commerce and labor and the
secretary of agriculture. But the two
cabinet officers first named are sort of
commissioners emeritus. The real
work comes down to the secretary of
agriculture.
The bug commission has appointed
the legal officers of the three depart
ments, r. E. Cabell, commissioner of
internal revenue; Charles Early, So
1icitor of the department of COM
merce and labor, and George P. Nc
Cabe, solicitor of the department of
agriculture, as subcommittee to
look after the legal enforcement of the
law. This subcommittee is up against
a hard problem already. The law de-
fines an insecticide as compound for
''repelling, destroying, mitigating or
