Confusion Names

Birmingham, like all large eommuni- ties, has many estimable citizens bearing the same name, and sometimes this fact results in amusing incidents, but some times in no little embarrassment, said a prominent club man. "A friend of mine Jacob Lesine-one of the most exemplary young men here-was arrested by mistake recently. When the facts became known he was promptly released There was ab- solutely no ground for charge or arrest.

OUT OF THE DIFFICULTY

from JuuBe.
 The woman suffrage problem is provok- ing much acrimonious debate.
 One opponent rises to proclaim that sui fragcttes are sexless, that they neglect the duties of wifehood and motherhood, and that if they set the vote the days oi families are ended.
 This would seen, to solve the problem.
 With no more children, two generations, at the most, would see an end to human life on the planet.
 There would then be no more suffrage problems.

Embcr Days.


 In the liturgical churches today ends the autumnal Ember-tide.
 ''Ember days-corruption of quatuor tempora-have been observed in Rome since very early times," said a layman. "The Ember day practice was taken to England by Augustine. the first Arch bishop of Canterbury, but it was not until the eleventh century, in the pontificate of Gregory VII that the observance of quarter tense was fixed by decree just as the church has Ember days now-the Wednesday, Friday and Saturday next following December 13, next following the third Sunday of Lent, next following Whit Sunday and next following the 1ith of September. The Ember days are set apart for prayer and fasting, one of the special themes of application being that the blessing of God may descend upon tury it was the custom among Romans to pray in December for good winter seeding early in the spring for good planting, in the summer for good har- vests, and in the early autumn for a rich vintage. The faithful Who now observe Ember days mediate with grateful hearts, giving thanks for the gifts of nature and praying that they may be taught to use these gifts of nature in moderation"

Cooperation of All Needed

Exhibits are actually coming in at the Alabama State Fair grounds, and the gates will soon be thrown open. This suggests duty that rests on all good citizens in relation to this great effort. All should boost the fair in every possible manner. Every letter that goes out should mention the fair, and it's numerous and, in some re- spects, unequalled attractions should be on every tongue. In this way 100000 people can be attracted here in the fair period.
 The bringing here of 100000 peo- pie from all parts of the state means much to this city. Such a gathering would lend to the fall and winter business of this city start that nothing else could give.
 It rests with the home people to utilize the splendid efforts of the fair managers in the best manner. Let all boost it. Let it's preparations be on every pen and every tongue. It is to be a fine, even great, fair, and no one can we'll exaggerate its attractions. Some of these attractions are educa- tional, and some are simply spectacu- lar or amusing. The whole sconsti- tutes an exhibition that will stand un- rivalled this year in this state.

the taxes on improved real estate, and increase the taxes on vacant property. He figures that owners would have either to build on their land-which would relieve the downtown conges- tion--or go to farming it, which would indirectly have the same effect. "A watch dog on a farm lives better than many of my constituents,'' he declares, and yet, after an experience Of life time down there, have yet to find the equal of the families on the streets near the Bowery for industry and econ omy and courage. Maybe my land tax plan is Bowery political economy, as has been charged. like it all the bet ter for that fact The Bowery has had to put up with Fifth avenue political economy for a good while."

Pleased With Birmingham

Edmund Platt, editor of the Pough- keepsie Eagle. writes Interestingly of his southern trip. In an article filing nearly two columns of his excellent pa per Of September 15. he says in part:
 "A party Of Il men from Pough-
 Ieepsie and vicinity arrived home on Monday from q strenuous trip to Bir- mingham, Ala. Their experiences in cluded wreck on the Southern rail- way, in which they had a narrow es- cape from injury or worse; a ride of 68 miles in freight cabooses at night, and a day of rapid and comprchen- siVe sightseeing in Birmingham, in- cluding a visit under most suspicious circumstances to the immense plants of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Ral- road company. which employs no less than 15,Oo0 men in Birmingham and vicinity They travelled through F states as the return was via Cincn- natl.
 ''The party went as guests of Morris Brothers of Philadelphia, leading bond firm, now promoting the Bir- mingham Ensley and Bessemer rail- way, an interurban traction proposition now under construction. It was pri- marily for the examination of this property that the trip was under taken"
 MT. Platt describes the Birmingham district graphically, and refers in glow ing terms to the dinner given to the party at the Country club. which he said lasted until a. m. He concludes his sketch as follows:
 --''The Poughkeepsians were all very favorably impressed with Birmingham, its great industries and its growth, as well as with the Birmingham, Ensley and Bessemer railway. Some little de- tails might be added to this about the liveliness of the return trip and cer- tain incidents attributed to the un- usual character of the White Rock served-but lack of space prevents. It is sufficient to say that the party was splendidly entertained in every way"
