Successful Though Handicapped

Among the visitors to the fair and in attendance upon the convention of deaf mutes are MT. and Mrs. l.. L. Strauss of Montgomery and their son, Leopold, age F. Leopold, who is a splendid type of boy manliness, acts as interpreter for his parents, who of course talk the sign language. MT. Strauss is an industrious and prosperous awning and tent manu- facturer, and has built up a fine business in his home city. He is an example worthy of emulation by those who fight lifes battles with the handicap of speech lessness and deaf to the worlds music. Speaking of this visit to Birmingham through Leopold, MT, Strauss said he was much pleased at the growth of the city and that the fair Is great show. He has enjoyed the fellowship of the friends of the sign language, and the many other friends who are always interested in his success.

 Henry Clews in his Saturday reviews sums up as follows:
 Stocks have now risen between and 10 points. The outlook is for even a more active and higher market But the greater the advance the greater the temp tations to realize, and 1t should not De forgotten that the market will then De pee euliarly liable to a setback from any political development that might be con strued as unfavorable to business inter ests Just now public temper shows gratifying quieting down compared with the irritation shown last winter and this summer. This is probably because the ac- tivity of business in general diverts the attention of all parties from political az itation, of which the people are more than weary There is no subject upon, which business interests are more sen- sitive at present than the tariff. This appears to be the only issue of great weight with either party Both leaders have insisted upon the necessity of re- vision downward, yet neither has out lined any definite tariff programme There is no doubt that the tariff can be amended in important respects without serious detriment to business affairs. But whatever changes are attempted should be carried out with the idea of affecting industry adversely as little as possible"

 hymn. Lead, Kindly Light was the most popular hymn of the era. AS lover of his fellows, Newman won the idoia. trous affection of the poor or Lonooh. As a Christian, he was so unworlois, so detached, and lived so near the cage oi poverty as to seem a creature of another world when placed in contrast with tne palaces and luxury of West London. In his Confessions, Augustine describes his childhood as a jest. his youth as a ca- rousal. his maturity as remorse, ana his old age as penitentia1 prayer. but Newman's life was a statue carved out of a. piece of unbroken marble strange ly enough, the three great movements or England were all Oxford movements-the movement of .Wiclif, the movement o, wesley and the movement Gf Newman. Wiclif sought to enthrone. the Bloie' Wesley sought to evangelize the poor; Newman unveiled the church as the se- cret of mental repose. Newman was chiefly interested in theology and polity. Wesleys enthusiasm was for men, WI cliff gave his life to the Bible as the Wora of God Newman was the thinker, anu had a great mind. Wesley was the lover, and had A great heart. Wiclif was the preacher. who unveiled the Bible ana lyindled a torch"

Notes from Haiti

ASOhCS ss"Ao
 pr. w. F. Wright, formerly of Birming- ham, but now and for some time a res ident of Port Au Prince, Haiti, writes interestingly about social conditions in the Haitian republic. As a physician he ranks high in the place of his sojourn. Several Alabamians are stationed in Hai- ti and are prominently connected with the Caribbean Construction company of New York. pr. Wright. in letter to friend here. says, among other things:
 Ever since I have been here have had unexcelled opportunity to study the country and the people. and, being born and reared in the south, feel conpe- tent to draw a parallel between our black people and these; ours 55 years out of slavery and largely disfranchised, and these no years out of slavery and a sovereign people; and I must say that the comparison Is very favorable to our own colored people. However. you must in justice take into consideration the fact that these people were dominated by France, while our negroes have been under the influence of a vital, aggressive and progressive people. Another thing, while these people have labored under constantly changing government, not only fin executives but in form of government. the American negroes have worked in peace with every advantage for the uplift and advancement of their race.
 Back fin our dear old southland we think we have a grave question of race or color and we speak with bated breath of the color lne,' and we imagine that there is no color line here and so speak But in reality, the color line or color lines. rather, arc much more a serious question here than at home. In our country one trace of negro blood makes a man a negro, but here one drop of white blood makes a white man, or his social and political superior a yellow man. The complications arising from these arbitrary distinctions are very frequent. and since I have been here, twice a revolution has been narrowly averted between the blacks on one side and the whites and yellows on the other The black people are about S5 per cent of the population, but the yellow people hold 90 per cent of the lucrative and responsible positions. Just few weeks before the death of the former President two of the aides de camp in the palace had a fatal duel over this same race question.
 will be repetition of the last Cuban revolt and I would not be at all sur- prised to see it happen at any time"
