ALDRICH IS NOW
 IN GENERAL CHARGE
About Two Days Will Be Required to Check Money and Papers
 in Postoffice

T. IT. Aldrich, postmaster of Brming- ham, assumed tentative charge of the postoffice yesterday afternoon at S:so o'clock. He returned home from Wash ington yesterday at noon over the South ern railway and shortly after lunch paid a visit to the postoffice. He said that he was now postmaster at Birmingham, al- though the postoffice inspectors will be engaged in checking up the office perhaps until Wednesday night. MT. .Aldrich said that he had qualified before leaving Wash ing.on and there were no formalities to be engaged in excepting to sign re- ceipt for the official moneys and the valuables when he relieves George C.. Oliver of custody. This will take place when the official inspection is scheduled
 Postmaster Aldrich said yesterday that no changes would be made so far as he was at present advised and that all the organization would, he hoped, run along as smoothly as in the past.
 T have absolutely no changes in mind at the postoffice now" said Mr. Ald- rich.
 q have no reason to know of needed changes and so far as am told there ex- ists no requirements for any change. I have been qualified as postmaster since I was in Washington but the official inves- tigation must be made by the postoffice inspectors before the office is delivered into my keeping. I anticipate that thls formality will require a couple of days.
 ''I have absolutely no personal feeling towards any man who applied for the po- siiion of postmaster. The organization at the Jostoffice believe is capable of handling affairs, hence no changes are to be contemplated at this time. I hope to give the business men and the citizens generally of this city the best postal serv- ice that can be secured and to that end I will devote all of my energy. I have been given the assurance of the support of the citizens in this proposition, either impliedly or expressly, and believe we will render good service. The people gem orally are entitled to the very best service that is possible to arrange for them.'

Dan Barber of the Barber-Ramseui
 Drug company: "The Birmingham Rail-
 way, Light and Power company is the
 most liberal company in the city. and earnestly desire to see them treated with
 consideration by the city. but do not believe that the proposed 10 year contract
 should be closed by the city. Within 10 years we should have even cheaper lights
 and the cent fare to Ensley should be given as soon as possible with transfers
 and without the cty's having to purchase I this concession with the price of 10 year contract.
 "The company has made rapid strides | in pushing its lines to all parts of the | city and has been a potent factor in the 1 upbuilding of the city, but ten years is | too long to live under the same rates of 1 lights. and as I can gather in round | about way. rates that are higher than
 other southern cities.
 l But short term contract, in my judg- | ment. would be safe should the light re-
 auctions be made and the cent fare
 given with transfers. The company is due every reasonable consideration from the | cltlzens, While they are to protect theli own interests, and think contract of a
 few years would be fair enough for both parties.'
 1 Dr. Eugene E. May, well known physi- clan: Personally, am not in favor of | tho city's signing up for term of 1C years with any corporation, as I consider i 1t a bad business policy for city growing l like Birmingham to tie itself up ill dea that limits competition.
 'The cent fare to Ensley should be | given with transfers and without any contract, as it is very plain that if the l East Lake line, which is about the same | distance from the city proper as Ensley | that is 10 cents, can make moro money | for the Birmingham Railway, Light an6 | Power company than other lines on a | cent fare, why can't the same be applied l to Ensley?"

The boys by becoming Scouts have
an opportunity to learn woodcraft,
gain knowledge of birds and trees,
learn the secrets of the woods, to
swim, paddle canoe and do many
other things boys love to do. At all
times they have over them a Scout

He watches over them and guides
them in their play and their various
activities, trains them in alertness,

His aim is to turn out useful, self.

Think of the list of subjects on

our State laws cannot or do not
reach the evil, and yet over which,
a certain type of American lawyer
tells us, that our national Congress
has no authority, no power. Canada's
constitution furnishes no such refuge.

any law which the welfare of the

WHAT 1T MEANS TO BE A BOY
SCOUT.

The Scout activities appeal to the
boy because they include innumerable
things which heroes of fiction and
history have done. In the place of
trying to force the boys to conform
to the artificial ideas and standards
of the adults, evolved by adults who
lead artificial lives We 60 to the boys
themselves, find out the real things
which interest them, the fundamental
causes for their activities, the kind of
men that make heroes for them, and
then we endeavor to show them how
ural boyish ways; how they can emu
late the remarkable virtues of such
real boys heroes as the picturesque
groups of remarkable persons develop
ed by the frontier, whom we call the
Buckskin Knights-such men as Jona-
than Chapman (Appleseed Johnny, a
follower of Emanuel Swedenborg's
teachings; the daredevil Simon Ken
ton, devout Methodist; the greatest
scout that ever lived, Daniel Boone, of
Quaker ancestors, whose whole life
was influenced by the precepts of the

Church, Abraham Lincoln, product
of the frontier; George Washington,

character was built in the wilderness
