LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Jealousy Among Alabama Cities

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 So the Birmingham district and Jef-a ferson county dare not advertise itself to the world without being attacked and called selfish for not advertisins< the whole state at the same time! Weihl this Is certainly news to me I not ticed the recent advertising campaign4 of Kansas City, Memphis and Dek Moines. All of them had maps showl ing their respective cities in the cenJ ter, and lines radiating in every direc3 ton towards the big terminals of the country. But failed to see any othet city of their respective state
 Coming back. however to our own publication, which was issued for the purpose of inducing farmers and gardners to settle in our district and county, I would like first of all to inn press upon the good people of Mont gomery and Mobile the fact that this publication was not intended to adl vertise the state, but solely Birming ham and Jefferson county. In connec-s tion with this I want to recall to isonn. of the people. both in Montgomery and Mobile, whom I approached and inter-
 
 when visited these cities that I made during several years the strongest ef- forts to get the different counties of the state together in movement to induce immigration from the north to our state by publishing a book adver- Using Alabama, and that ontgomery as well as Mobile refused to take part in such movement for the reason that some of the homeseekers might settle in some other county, and that they would rather advertise for themselves and get the benefit themselves Yet | todaySwhen Birmingham takes the lead in this important work; when the pa- triotic citizens of Birmingham made up a big fund to carry on this move- ment, thereby setting an example for every county in the state to follow, we are charged with se1fishness and a narrow spirit because on the maps of Jefferson county we did not show Montgomery and on the outer circle, in- tended merely to show the connec- tions of Birmingham with the big terminals outside of the state, the en- graver forgot to show Mobile. | We'll, all I can add to this is that I am surprised. and that I hope the outside world will not read much about this controversy I want to see | the state of Alabama succeed in get lting settlers and industries and capital, and we will succeed if each county that Is able and has the opportunities will do its share instead of showing a spirit of jealousy.

Tt has been my desire to come south and meet the club women and bring our work into closer touch You see we have great field. Our council is just a bit different from the Federation of Women s club. All sorts of clubs are embraced in that-literary as well as otherwise. Each carries on it's work, while all our work emanates from one source-the fountain head. The prospectus is arranged there and sent to the different sections through out the country. Every section Is en- gagged upon the same work and all re- ports are made to national headquar- ters."
 And is the membership of the council larger I asked.
 We number over 1O,00O women in the work" said she. There are 27 states represented Each city has its own club. which we destgnate( as section of the council. There arb 5s senior sections and IS junior sectiops."

FLYING FOX IS
 CAUSE OF ARREST

' Kansas City. February 1s.-If the war fare on flying foxes, started here yester- day by federal authorities is successful, it is probably the only two species of this animal in the United States will be killed.
 One of the foxes was owned by sales man. The other belonged to Joseph Ed wards, who was arrested. charged with importing the animal into the United States and exhibiting It..
 He pleaded not guilty of the first charge and guilty to the second. He was re- leased on a cash bend. Edwards Is also charged with having in his possession a mongoose, an animal barred from this country.

 Birmingham has been honored within the past few days by the presence of one of the most cultured women in this coun- try. Mrs. Caesar L. Misch. the president of the National Council of Jewish Wom- en, and she has been right royalty enter tained and most graciously has she ac- cspted the homage shown her.
 Mrs. Misch Is woman of charming per sonality and she Is deeply intellectual. as one finds with the first glimpse of con- versation with her.
 { She Is strikingly handsome woman; call, ad-shouldered. and well formed. Her height she carries with great dignity Her lectures are classic in their regular ity and her hair parted in the middle and waved softly about her face, reveals her elear blue eyes. which look you frankly ln the face from underneath level brows.

 GERMAN FACTION HAS NEW LEADER

Berlin, February 1S.-Herman Mol kenbuhr, member from Saxony, has been elected president of the social democratic faction in the reichstag, thus receiving the mantle of the late Paul Singer, who, up to his death, shared the leadership of the faction with the aged leader, August Rebel.
 Rebel has been compelled to retire al- most completely from active politics on account of his age and health, leaving the responsibility for the parliamentary tactics on the shoulders of Molkenbuhr.
 The latter is writer, originally ci- sarmaker by trade who, on account of his political activity was expelled from Germany in 1881 and spent three years in the United States.

 .Our work is three-fold. It embraces religion education and philanthropy" re- piled Mrs. Misch.

I left the meeting of our executive board in Louis- vile and extended my visit here-and as | far as Texas. I have visited New Or leans and four sections in Alabama. Of course my work takes me from Califor- mia to Maine, but no where have I been more impressed than right here in Bir- mingham."
 | "Is the membership of the Birmingham section growing?" I asked. | 'In proportion-yes. There are about 50 members" replied Mrs. Misch.

"Of course our national council Is affili- ated with the international council, and the latter has taken up the subject to a considerable extent was the reply. Many of our officers are greatly inter csted in the question. Personally do not stand for suffrage. I think it will un- doubtedly come, but there must be many changes, and marked ones, from the pres ent status before it can become settled | fact"
