will far out-number those of any past year. The larger this city becomes the greater the attractions it offers to shoppers and amusement seekers. Birmingham is the most attractive shopping city in the entire south, and is also one of the best theatre towns. Thousands of people in Alabama who go from home only once year, have Birmingham as their objective point, and the State Fair season as the time for taking the annual vacation or the annual trip.
 For three or four years past the Birmingham fairs have compared well with the offerings of the older State Fair associations in this part of the country. It is safe to say that this year our fair will far surpass anything of the kind ever seen south of the Ma son and Dixon line.

From the New York World.
 The attention of poets and of novel; ists having realistic or psychological purposes in view should be directed to a study of the interviews and state ments given out by the wives of Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the Blood' as to the way they have been passing the time since the murder of Rosenthal.
 It has been the custom to depict the hunted criminal as creature of cease less suspicious and of increasing fear. He is supposed to be haunted with thoughts of terror by day and awful dreams by night to walk in anxiety of sleuths on every corner and betrayal In every crowd. He is also described as being tormented by con science. Very different is the story told of the retired lives of these two gunmen accused of murder and In hid ing day and night. with police and detectives looking for them from Maine to California. Their home was we'll situated and we'll furnished. It did not lack means of quiet recreation for per sons of simple tastes. We had a the atre in our back yard" said one of the brides. and that is as much as any family could wish for We would take seats on the fire escape and for two hours enjoy all the thrillers and comics the moving picture man had to show"
 There was also fun in getting the meals and fun in lodging detectives. The latter appears to have been quite rare sport, and so easy. We woNd go into an office building by the front door and leave by the back" Only one thing saddened them. "Of late there hasn't been news enough about the case to suit us" It will be recalled that MT. Roosevelt has made similar complaint of newspaper neglect of his case. Otherwise it seems the gunmen were as happy in obscurity as the col onel in the limelight. Human nature. though disappointed in some things, is never wholly sad

A Government Question

At the meeting of the Interstate Levee association yesterday in Mem phis the question of government con- trol of the levee system of the Missis- sippi river was freely discussed. Many of the delegates present who have made study and should be familiar with the situation and who can fore see the expense and difficulty in work ing out plan which will insure abso- lute control at all times of the Mis- sissippi, believe that the task is one for the federal government to handle.
 Certainly it appears to be nation al problem. The Mississippi and it's tributaries drain over 40 per cent of the total area of the United States, and that area contains probably the most fertile lands in the country. Nearly 10000, ,000 acres of land is sub ject to overflow and only 20 per cent of this vast area is at present in cul- tivation. It is not encouraging to any citizen to engage in the pursuit of living by tilling the, soil, even in this fertile region, if once or twice every year the risk of total loss confronts him, which no individual effort of his own can prevent
 Every effort is being made by the government to encourage agriculture in the United States, and check the tendency shown by some of our west ern farmers to move into Canada where they have been attracted by surer crop conditions, and cheap land. Nothing would help agriculture in the United States quite so much as the absolute assurance that the Missis- sippi river would not get on a ram page, and would refrain from spread ing itself all over the map, destroying in few hours the labor of year, and leaving water mocasins and germs in its wake as souvenirs.
 It is big question, but even so, not quite as big one as the building of the Panama canal, and it is certainly of equal importance. Congress ought to give serious consideration to the Mississippi river problem.

Telephone Calls Here and Abroad

Last year the telephone calls in the world numbered twenty-two billions, and 66 per cent of them were in the United States. Our calls numbered 4,5OO, 100000.
 We have developed the telephone wonderfully, but our use of the tele- graph, also invented and perfected in the United States, is but F per cent of the worlds service. The superior European use of the telegraph is largely due to the control of telegraph lines by many governments. Rates are low and the need of telephones is not so acutely felt in Europe.
 Out of 12,453,000 phones in the world, the United States at the end of last year had 8,362,0O0. This makes the United States the telephone coun- try of the world, and the annual in- crease in this country is keeping us at the head of the first division so to speak. We are actually investing S60, 0,000,000 in telephones and tele- phone lines each year, while the cor responding increase in Europe is but s27 ,00o, ,oOO.

PROTECTING AMERICAN GIRLS

Mrs Ada M. Lewis, the distinguished foundress of the Ada Leigh Homes in Paris. writes in the Living Church CMil- waukee) of the valuable work being done for the protection of working girls in that city by Mrs. Whitelaw Reid
 When I had the privilege of attending the Episcopal convention at Chicago in 1886, writes Mrs. Lewis. to extend the knowledge of our three homes for British and American young women, and of plac- ing our work for them before the bishops, several of whom had visited our homes, held meetings at which they presided and had the pleasure of interesting Mrs. whitelaw Reid in New York.
 Mir whitelaw Reid was called to the post of ambassador to France; Mrs. whitelaw Reid sought out the spot which no one had touched and the need was great amongst her own young country women in the Student Quarter of Paris.
 After 20 years of successful working, the American Girls club is being enlarged with every modern convenience, guided by the quiet and unobtrusive generosity of its honored foundress, whose name will be household word as long as the American student is attracted to Paris. Naturally. this club reaches q distinct class in an unique quarter.

The State Fair Next Week

Exhibits are fast coming in for Birmingham's State Fair which opens a week from today. There has been . great advance in the last few years in the work of assembling exhibits, and in getting matters in shape gen. orally. This is the result of experi- ence in organization.
 At used to be that all fairs and ex- positions of large scope were seldom ready for opening on the day first an- nounced. Very few, indeed, of the large expositions in this country have been opened anything like on time. The two great worlds fairs held in the United States-Chicago and St. Louis were year behind in opening. They were on scales of vast magnitude and it was easy to see how the manage ment failed to have the buildings ready according to original schedule. But also many of the best expositions of the smaller class have been a lit tie late in opening, and when the gates were opened, fully week was required in putting on the finishing touches.
 When it comes to state fairs having the exposition feature, there is little excuse for delay, for they are ad- vertised to remain open only 10 days or two weeks, and every day counts. It is all the more important, there fore, that everything should be ready for the opening day. Birmingham has become noted for its state fairs, and also for having a complete exhibition on the date advertised.
 There is every indication that the out-of-town visitors to Birmingham on tse occasion of this years State Fair

WHY BOSTON IS CULTURED

Franklin P. Adams in the October Metro
 politan.
 There was a time when we thought tho culture and erudition of Boston, like the sleepiness of Philadelphia, an overpraised institution. We have fopped. The Bos- tonian is a widely read. we'll informed person; not the man who lives in Boston proper (that is not tautology, believe us) only five minutes or so from his office, but the semi-suburbanite, the man who rides to and from Brookline, Waltham, Newtonville. Medford, Quincy. Maiden, Roxbury, Dorchester. Milton and, as the time tables say, pts. adj. This sman has to spend from 20 minutes to an hour going to town. He must read something. Now. then, as nobody can find enough in the Boston morning papers to keep him inter- ested or amused for longer than ten min utes, the usburbanite, his nature abhor- ring a vacuum, seeks the solace of mag azines and books.
 That is our solution, seriously offered, of the culture of Boston, the town where soft drinks are 'tonics' and where they speak of Pennsylvania Revenue and Va nilla Rice Cream.

LITERATURE AND MURDER

From the Chicago Journal.
 It is a modern habit to lay the blame of a murder to almost any one or any thing, save the murderer. Particularly has it become the habit to lay the mur- der to something the murderer read. Murders have been charged to dime novels and to yellow journals, and to suffrage pamphlets and to pretty near ly everything else-eXcept the Congress sional Record. Since nobody reads that nobody Is influenced to murder by it.
 To say that five-sixths of this talk of the literature cause of violence is rank piffle is to treat it altogether too terms have been copyrighted by the progressive politicians.
 If a man, from anger or class hatred or other cause, is trembling on the brink of violence, some incendiary pub lication may suffice to push him over the brink. It was so in the famous ''workingmen- to -arms," circular which preceded the Haymarket bomb throw ing.
 but tnat IS not tie sot' ol IedullS to which the modern literature theory of crime refers. That circular and others like it are direct indictments to crime. The modern theory lays blame on writ ings which merely mention crime or which deal with 1t in a purely literary way-as Macbeth.
 Which is piffle, as was remarked be- fore The man of unsound mind-whose unsoundness,.t takes the form of desire to murder--may gloat over the killings in Shakespeares plays, but the plays do not cause him to kill. It is be- cause he purposes killing that he gets this morbid pleasure out of the plays.
 It is just another case of putting the cart before the horse.

LITERATURE IN COLD STORAGE

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 Publishers complain that people do
 not buy serious books. An experienced
 scholar retorts that publishers will not let them Here Is a new and rather important historical work of 600 pages. It is printed in large type on heavy paper, with wide margins, to make 1t as bulky as possible. The price is 50,
 postage extra" That Is considerable money; but there are some 800 public and collegiate libraries that feel bound to buy any new historical work which can claim importance, no matter what the price.
 The publisher would rather have the sure thing of 800 copies at $5 than take the chance of selling several thousand copies at s2. Theoretically books in the library circulate; but 1t is notorious that people seldom go to a library for a new serious book. A read Ter whose habits or tastes would at
 tract him to new biography, say, wants the volumes on his shelves. If lit Is really worth the trouble of read HE ue WILL dlluoSI CCi tdihiS WISH " refer to it again He cannot trot down to the library for every reference A reader of such habits or tastes wishes to possess the books in which he Is really interesteds If he cannot afford to own the books he probably will not read 1t at all. What circulate from the library besides fiction. is Tines Eng fish Literature, Macaulays English,
 Gibbons Decline and Fall, Boswells s J Johnson.
 It is clear consequently that a large part of our new serious literature Is automatically canned and moved into cold storage. and so there is world of pains and expense for nothing.

the author of Ready Money" Ready Money" Montgomery would be better name for him. Almost over night his Income has jumped from $40 to s26oo week. And there is no one on Broad way who doesn't know it. Jimmie Is there with the bankroll.
 Before he wrote Ready Money Montgomery was a $40 week actor which means he had as much standing in the theatrical world as doormat thief in the underworld. Today he Is the author of the biggest success in London and New York and there are two road companies of the same play raking in the shekels.
 This remarkable young man, who is just 30 years of age. wrote this remark able play in less than a week. He out lined the play to Los Angeles stock manager and signed a contract to de- liver it for the sum of $500. Then he promptly forgot all about 1t, as he never dreamed a stock manager would pay that amount for a new and untried play. But the unexpected happened and one day the manager wired to New York that Ready Money" was an- nounced for production in two week.
 Not even a synopsis was on paper, but Montgomery was not stumped. He jumped on the first train for Los An geles and wrote two acts en route He told the manager he had the third act In his trunk, but he didn't begin to write it until after the first two acts were in rehearsal. Three days before the opening the third act was still un- written. Extreme measures were nec- essary. Montgomery went to his room in his hotel and ordered two bottles or something cooling, if not exciting, two pots of hot coffee and quart of cham pagne. He packed Turkish towel with cracked Ice and wound 1t around his head. After drinking the champagne to stimulate his brain he drank the coffee to keep him awake. Before he left his room the third act was writ ten. That was on Friday. On the fol- lowing Monday the play was produced. It scored such a hit ahat H. H. Frazee secured 1t for production in s2 houses. It was produced in London and New York simultaneously. Montgomery's fortune was made.

 year Leapt over March and April into May. Regent of rising and of ebbing heartA Thyself borne on in cool serenity, All Heaven around and bending Der thee, All earth below and watchful of thy

Appointment of Knox

Governor O'Neal in filling the va- cancy on the supreme bench of Ala bama caused by the death of Justice Simpson, had fine material from which to select, for the names pre- scented for his consideration were among the most prominent and highly esteemed members of the Alabama Bar association.
 In appointing John B. Knox, the governor picked a man of learning, judicial temperament, strong charac- ter and exceptional vigor of mind. MT. Knox is a great lawyer. He is splen- didly equipped for any public service. Some judgessmake good records pure ly by reason of legal attainments and single mindedness; but they would have made even better judges perhaps had they been endowed with larger views on the larger questions of the day.
 Alabama has been fortunate in its supreme bench. It has had on that bench men of singular capacity and absolute honesty of purpose; men who have worn the ermine unspotted-men who could never be swerved from the right as they saw it. Our justices have not only distinguished them selves but by their fair and able de- cisions, they have raised the judicial standards, and have enhanced the glory of Alabama in the eyes of the world.
 John B. Knox meausres up to the best traditions of the past. He was born in Talladega, February 16, 1857. Educated in private schools, he was admitted to the bar in 1878. He re- moved to Anniston in 1888, and has been Anniston's foremost citizen for many years. He Will bring to the supreme bench, in addition to his legal lore and his wide experience in the practice of his profession, great deal of worldly wisdom which he has gained in an honorable political ca reer. He was a delegate at large to the national democratic convention in 1892; and again in 1896. He was twice chairman of the democratic state ex- ecutive committee, and was president of the constitutional convention in 1901. Alabama is to be sincerely con- graduated upon the governors ap- pointment.

Block Day for St. vincent,s

This is block day for the free dispen- sary of St. vincent's hospital The or ganization known as the Ladies of Char ity is endeavoring to promote their good work. The ladies have divided them selves into committees or sections for canvassing the city by blocks. They distributed the envelopes on Tuesday and today they will collect them. The cause is one that naturally appeals to all kindly disposed people.
 Sister Chrysostom stated last night that the various chairmen of the Ladies of Charity were requested to report to her direct during this afternoon as soon as the envelopes had been collected
