GOOD AND SUFFICIENT REASONS

GOOD AND SUFFICIENT REASONS Ebert Hubbard.
 It seems that a monologist was an- noyed by a baby in the audience crying. It was little bit of baby, but 1t made big row. Finally, the "act'' stood it as long as he could and then ad- dressed the mother thus: Madam, can't you keep the baby quiet?"
 NO, can't"
 Well, why can't you?"
 Because my dress is buttoned in tha back"

 q refer especially to public libraries, nIeasure parks, art galleries and good music. The increasing business or t"e piano factories indicates that psvsons m moderate circumstances as well as the more prosperous have pianos in their homes. In every family of any degree or refinement with a number of children one or more of these children receive mus teal instruc csion. Within the past 20 or 25 years musical art has made great progress in this country. and every city as large as Birmingham Is not only ex- pected to have free open-air concerts -during the summer, but many musical at fractions, including grand opera ann music festivals at stated periods BIT mingham has made 8 good start in the matter of a public library, and last sum- mer we had band concerts free that would have been creditable to any city. Dur

We have had excellent music festl- vals during the past two or three years, and will, I understand. haze another next May4 What this city needs in the way of niuslc that it does not already possess is local string quartet for giv- ing chamber programmes every week or two, and a local concert orchestra to give 0 series of symphony entertainments such as all other progressive cities en. joy.

IN Congress, as we'll as in the Alabama friends seem to be fighting among themselves These internal fights among democrats have constituted in the past the weakness of the,party before the peo- pie.
 Of course, conflict among democrats in the Alabama legislature is but natural because there be practically none but democrats in our legislature.
 In Congress 1t is different.
 It is indeed regrettable that Senator Joe Bailey of Texas should have ten dered his resignation as United States Senator yesterday.
 Bailey is one of the ablest, if not the ablest, democrat in the Senate. He IS of long service both in the House and in the Senate When he first entered the House of Representatives some 20 years ago he was young, enthusiastic and some what radical. He loved the common peo- pie so much that he even refused to wear a dress suit on social occasions, and he was somewhat populistic in his views. He, however, outgrew these ideas and has within democratic ranks. He has, indeed, become so conservative in the Senate that some of the younger and more en- thusia stic senators ..bueked" against his practical leadership and turned him down, thus arousing his indignation. In this frame of mind he rendered his resig- President but telegraphed it to Governor Colquitt of Texas, who promptly wired his refusal to accept it. This. wire was I sentatives in the legislature of Texas call ing upon him to withdraw his resigna- ton. The language of this telegram from representative Texans is such that it seems it would force Bailey to withdraw his resignation. we demand" the tele- gram said, that you reconsider and with draw your resignation. Your friends have never betrayed you in any crisis, as you have never betrayed your countrymen. Trust US and we trust you"
