Entitled to Recognition.

Taking all these evidences into considera-
ton Boston is still entitled to recognition
as an American Athens. although New
York and Chicago have finer architecture,
finer art galleries and collections OF art.
larger art schools, and other evidences of
culture that might be enumerated. and
go far as literary supremacy is concerned
Boston was compelled to yield the scepter
many years ago. Nearly all the Boston
book publishers have gone to New York,
or have opened headquarters there; all
or tho famous authors who illuminated
Boston have moved to New York; Chi
cago, New York. Philadelphia, Cleveland
San Francisco and several other cities
have larger and better book stores than
Boston. McClurg & Co. OF Chicago have
an establishment that Is larger and does
more business than all the booksellers in
Boston combined; and the same can be
said OF half dozen or more establish
ments in New York city. Even Prang's
chromos which did SO much to cultivate
taste for art and inspire a love for
the old masters among the unlearned
seem to have lost their prestige and In
fluence. There isn't a prominent author
in Boston today except James F. Rhodes
and he lives In Cambridge and came from
Cleveland, Ohio.
In an official publication Of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce the literary status
OF Boston is defined in the following
words:
I'VE glory in the growth of literature,
music and art in all the country, and
insist upon no more credit than acknowl-
edges our ability and constant desire to
maintain our historic standards. Boston.
let us assert. remains the literary and
bookmak:ng city of the land, while New
York has become the book selling head
quarters, and has induced many writer's
from all sections TO locate and prosecute
their vocation there. From Boston there
flows a constant stream Of the best books
produced in the world, and from Boston
the best and the only strictly literary
monthly magazine continues TO be pub
lished. While there may be some cues
ton about the bulk Of educ ational books,
whether 1t is greater in Boston or else
where. II is certain that from Boston
there is sent out the larger proportion of
educational books that are strictly CON
sequential. When IT comes to the matter
of manufacturing books Boston takes the
lead II has the three concerns which
are more notable than any others both
| as to the quality and as to the bulk of their
product. and II has half a dozen others
that are second i'm rank only as to their
volume OF output IT. has the distinction
of being the home OF the best commercial
and de luxe bookmakers in the world, and

made by the men that they had planned

it goes SO far as to organize the pupils

"All over New England there are spe-

cities are more interested now In the
study and development of vocational

that there is an attempt toward voca-

New York publishing houses-tell me
that one OF the department stores here
handles four times as many books as all
the bookstores in Boston combined. The
famous "Old Corner Book Store" still ex-
lists in name. but is now located on a

Mass Concerned With Commerce.
While Boston no doubt possesses edu-
cational facilities superior to those Of
any other city i'll the country and pro-
vides a greater variety and larger num-
Der of privileges for those who are intel
lectually inclined. the great mass of the
population is more concerned with COM
merce than with culture, and quite as
large proportion Of the people are
thinking of the improvement of their in
comes instead of their minds as in any
other city of the country. There are no
doubt more nurseries for "isms" and
"ologies'' in Boston than elsewhere. but
Chicago has quite as many freak cults,
and perhaps Los Angeles has more. OF
all the cities Of the country Los Angeles
seems to have attracted cranks, and they
seem to thrive in that atmosphere. 1t

ganizations even than Boston, but any
one who will look through the pages of
the city directory that contain lists of
societies and associations or the notices
of Sunday meetings In Saturday news
papers will get faint idea of the ex-
tent of the vagaries that are cultivated
here. Some one has called Boston "a
caldron of sociology" and has declared
that there are more queer-shaped crani-
ums to be seen on it's streets than on
those of any other city. Los Angeles
should enter a caveat against such pre-
tensions
The same authority that I quoted above.

of Commerce, admits that the population
of New England has it's share Of culture

GIVES LECTURES ON
 WHITE SLAVE EVIL
Mrs. Katherine K. Fiske of Chicago Is Delivering Series in
 Birmingham

Mrs. Katherine K. Fiske of Chicago began a series of lectures on the white slave traffic at the Best theatre yes- terday afternoon at o'clock. The lec- ture is illustrated with striking stereopti- con views, showing some of the horrors of immortality in the large cities. The lecture is given in less than 15 minutes and is not only entertaining but is high ly instructive and forcible warning to mothers and fathers.
 Mrs. Ffske was reared in Birmingham and expressed pleasure at being able to return to her home city and to talk on the subject that has claimed her time and thought for the past four years She has spent great deal of time in New York and Chicago, where she had excellent opportunities to study different phases of criminology and social evil She was in Chicago during the recent public investigation Into the white slave traffic and became so deeply interested in the subject that she turned her whole life into the work.
 She selects to present the lecture at theatres instead of the churches for the reason that at the churches she does not reach the people that most need the information and the warning that Is of fered.
 Her presentation of the subject is most vivid and cannot fall to interest every nearer.

TRACTION COMPANY ANSWER TODAY
Commissions Request for Five-cent Ensley Fare Will Be
 Declined

It is stated that the Birmingham Rail- way. Light and Power company will make an answer today to the request of the city for reduction of the street car fare from Ensley, Pratt City and Wylam to Bir- mingham.
 The answer will be very brief and in it the company will decline to grant the fare as proposed by the commissioners.
 The statement was made yesterday that the company was under the impression that the announcement made before the commission relative to conditions was suf- fcient to establish it's, position clearly. However, later developments have sug- gestsd that the commissioners expect an answer The reply will be an act of cour- tesy to the commission and will not carry any further arguments. why the reduction of cents cannot be made willingly
 Following the formal reply by the com pany petition will doubtless be sent to the railroad commissioners by the city authorities. which will meet with strenu- ous resistance from the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company.

RETALIATION ID
 BE CONSIDERED It Is Proposed to Identify Travelling Men With
 the Chamber

The Chamber of Commerce committees for the promotion of wholesale and re- tall trade will confer jointly this morn ing at headquarters with reference to the proposition of identifying the travelling men with the organization for the pur- pose of advertising Birmingham. Mur- ray Brown and Robert W. Ewing are the respective chairmen of these two commit tees.
 It has been the hope of the Chamber of Commerce for some time past to have the salesmen travelling out of the city cooperation in putting the industrial and commercial advantages of. this city be- fore the attention of the people of the state and of the south.
 As a matter of fact the proposal has been put up to the Travellers Protective association and has been heartily ndorsed by the heads of this organization, as well as by many of their members. It is likely that something definite will be effected in the matter at date not very remote
 On Friday morning at il o'clock there will be a meeting at headquarters of the advertising committee for the pur- pose of considering several plans for sum- mer advertising and other matters per- taining to this phase of the Chamber of Commerce activities. T. A. Weller Is chairman of the advertising committed.
