LET US ELEVATE THE STAGE.

From the New, York World.
 At the first performance in New York of an Irish play dealing with folk life on the coast of Mayo the "Os" distinguished themselves by oratorictl and vegetable protests, and the Macs in blue uniforms by throwing them out It was a gala night for the Gael. The audience was edified, the drama purified, the stage elevated.
 With this noble example before them, let all the myriad races of the land set out to regenerate dramatic art. Let the Scandinavians correct with belated Danish eggs the idea that Hamlet's mother could murder her spouse. Let the Jews rebuke Shylock with ana themas and "trefa' food products. Let the Spartan heroes of 1000 peanut stands rough house the Harvard stad- ium if Depius. with it's story of ur- witting sin by a Grecian Queen, is pre- scented. Let the French march from Washington Square upon dozen plays and burlesques which imply that there are no virtuous homes in Paris. There s play in New York now which hints that the Scots at home are a wee bit canny and hypocritical Let Sandy and Elspeth MacNab revise it with hurled haggis. Millions of German Americans have long enough endured the Dutch monologist." with his weizerkase dialect; have at him, then, with cabbage bouquets.
 Il is time for the Chicago grass widow and the Pittsburg heiress to rise in re- volt against the things they are rep resented as saying and doing. And if there yet survives in some forgotten
 nook single specimen of the straw chewing native American farmer, with his trousers legs in his sagging boot | tops, let him pitchfork all the Josh Whitcombs from the footlights. Away with the stage villains, clowns and braggarts of every race, Then may we have the Great American Drama SC l ong awaited, with nothing in it to mock or offend or initiate anybody nearer
 than the Martians and the Olympian | gods.

Secretary Wilson on Cotton

Corn is far and away the most
 valuable crop of the present year, says Secretary Wilson in his annual report. Cotton comes next, followed by hay, wheat, oats, potatoes, barley, sugar, tobacco, flaxseed, rye, rice and hops.
 Secretary Wilson puts the value of the fibre and seed of this years un- exampled cotton crop at S775, 5,000,000, whereas the value of the years corn crop is put at S1,700,000,000. The cotton crop grown this year is at least two million bales larger than that grown last year, and yet the lat ter was worth $9OO, O,00O,0o0, while the present crop is worth S125,000,00 less.
 Cotton is crop that feels over production quickly and keenly. The corn crop this year is larger than any previous crop save two, and yet the farm price of corn is today higher, says Secretary Wilson, than it has been since the records of the depart ment were begun in 1866, except in 1783, and this establishes a total value for the crop that reaches S1, zoo, 100000 and breaks the record" It is difficult, in other words, to pro- duce too much corn, whereas the mills know speedily when too much cotton has been grown and act accordingly.
 The moral is the same old moral grow more corn and less cotton. Or rather the rule should be in the south, grow all the corn the south needs and then plant all the cotton one reasonably can.

Destruction of Garbage

Superintendent Gafford is in Jack son, Miss, to inspect home made crematory upon which no patents rest, from which no great royalties or profits can be collected. He goes to a small city to see if it has a crematory that can be duplicated in a large one.
 Its crematory handles 40 tons of refuse day, and it cost but s4500. This city could afford to build sev- eral crematores of that cost, solving in that way the long haul problem and the sanitary problem as we'll.
 Until MT. Gafford's report is ren- dered no definite opinion can be formed relative to the Jackson plan of reducing garbage to cinders. Pos sibly it can be fitted to this town. Let us hope it can be. Crematories at Woodlawn, Birmingham and Ensley and West End would suffice, and pos sibly one at Fairview would suffice for both Ensley and West End. The Jackson plan holds out hope that the garbage situation in this city is not incapable of relief With eff ficient and well located crematories this city can be put on higher sani- tary basis.

--~-s8s------ THE MAN AND THE ISSUE

From the Mobile Register.
 The point must be emphasized, again and again, that what the democrats should desire most is to win in the next election. If democrats have good carried into practice. If democrats be- lieve that they can provide a govern ment more satisfactory to the country than the republicans have given, they must first get command of the gov erning machinery; and to do this they must carry the election.
 Democrats have seen MT. Bryan con year, regardless of the effect upon the voters, and rather birding himself upon being out of touch with the majority sentiment of the country. The result is that he has in his IS years of public effort left no impress upon public af- fairs, and his party has been nega tive force until recently, when it broke away from his leadership.
 To win, there must be man whose views are right and command popular approval, a man who is a leader of victorious battaliohs; man who dreams no dreams but plans his cam paigns with the view to winning; a man in whom confidence can be placed without fear that it will be betrayed.
 Let the democrats unite on such a man as Underwood, and put him forward. United democratic action is noV the watchward and the keynote of success

Presidential Candidates

Although my place of business is in New York City, my home is in New Jersey, and being a Jerseynlan and a democrat I naturally feel an interest in Woodrow Wilson's presidential candid acy," said Henry Kay, who is spend ing a few days in Birmingham as the representative of the Robert G.. Day Co.,, publishers of the Ridpath Library of Universal Literature.
 q am a great admirer of Governor Wilson. but Alabama has a statesman who measures up well to presidential requirements, and the more I read of him the more I like him. l regard MT. Underwood as a great man and if Woodrow Wilson does not win the norn- ination in the democratic convention, then I will hope that MT Underwood may head the ticket
 q am the only man in a large fam ;ly who always votes the democratic ticket. I was a strong partisan of Grover Cleveland; thought he was one of the greatest men that this country as produced
 ",rhe outlook for the democratic party in 1912 is bright, and l cannot help thinking that the democratic nominee for the presidency will win, no mat Ter whether he be Wilson or Under wood l really feel as if it would be one or the other of them

DeIichtfuI Music

Everybody who attended the enter tainment at MT. Masseys elegant home for a worthy church benefit was de- lighted with MT. and Mrs. Chalifoux' s playing-Mr. Chalifoux on the violin and Mrs. Chalifoux on the harp" said music lover who had the privilege of being present yesterday.
 "The Chalifouxs were glad to con tribute to the success of the affair." I remember when MT. Chalifoux took up his residence in Birmingham. He had been educated in Paris as a musical artist. He was in great form and a!- though he was very busy in the mer- cantile world he never declined to play for charity. Now that he has returned to the profession of music he takes times to practice and his playing on the occasion referred to seemed to mo to be up to the old days. Mrs. ChaI- ifouX is fine harpist and the two to- gether make charming music"

Southern Mercantile Business

Business conditions in Texas are very satisfactory" said Jerry Jeralle of Bir- mingham, but commercial travellers who make the entire south and who keep in touch filth the country at large tell me that the most prosperous states at this time are the Carolinas Georgia and Ala bama.
 q have just returned from the south west. Eastern Texas seems very prosper ous indeed, and this prosperity may be attributed to the diversified crops that tEe Texans are raising. Since the farm CTS have turned their attention to food products there has been a steady inn provement in business conditions in that section. I found business very dull in Arkansas and Mississippi owing to the low price of cotton.
 "On my travels I heard a great deal of Underwood talk. The people of Texas in discussing our Birmingham congressman in connection with the presidency, were particularly enthusiastic. Governor Col ouitt of Texas, known as one of the ablesu men in the south, is strong Underwood man. Those people here at home who started out by talking of MT. Under wood as favorite son who should be able to get the Alabama vote in the na- tional democratic convention, didn't real ize what national figure MT. Under wood had become. Anyone who travels and who meets men who travel hears Underwood spoken of by many as the most logical of all the prospective candi- dates for the presidency"
