NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE CHEERFUL
 THINGS OF LIFE AND THOSE OF TIT

TT is rare that on this first Sunday aftei
 the first Monday in December have
 failed to date this column Washing ton and tell about the Gridiron club din Ter of each December.
 However, the story of the dinner-as much as can be told-is in another col umn on page s2, as sent to me by one of my fellow members of the club.
 How jolly and clever are these news paper men of Washington-always having fun and frolic and jest over the expe- riences of their neighbors and friends in public life, but never bitter nor vene- mous-never even leaving scar that would burn.
 They look for the pleasures and the pleasantries of life. They try to tell of the good of their fellow man.
 They never deal in the dirty nor the filth of life as, unfortunately, some of the alleged newspaperdom of Birming- ham do. Men, and newspapers, who do this are not of the legitimate, nor are they worthy of the consideration of the  men and women who want the wholesome surrounding their families.

Brilliant clergyman and Lecturer

Dr. Thomas Edward Green of Chicago, who delivered a luminous and animatins address on America. the Peace Maker in the Lyceum course at the high school auditorium Friday night, is a distin- guished clergyman.
 pr Green is one of the ablest men who have appeared before Blrming- ham audience" said one who heard him. "Although he spoke at considerable length--over two hours-he held the at tention of his audience to the end.
 ''Dr. Green was brought up in the Presbyterian church. He is native of Pennsylvania. and was educated at Princeton. He completed his theological course in the Princeton seminary, and filled three Presbyterian pastorates, the last of which was that of the Eighth Presbyterian church in Chicago h lss' he left the Presbyterian ministry and joined the Protestant Episcopal church. ill which he was ordained priest in 1887. In 1895 he was elected bishop of Iowa. bat

declined. In politics, as in church mem- bership, according to a sketch in Who s Who in America2' Dr. Green changed from one great party to another. He was chaplain of the republican national convention in 1884, and was afterwards chaplain of three democratic conventions the last in 1s96 In the recent campaign he was an active supporter of Woodrow Wilson.
 pr. Green has been prominent in masonry and especially in the rrder of Knights Templar, of which he has served as grand prelate. In the world of letters he is well known as a con- tributor to the leading magazines. Among the books he has written is one entitled: The Man Traps of the City"

is not improper for me to compliment it upon the fact that it is a clean news paper full of news and printing all the news all the time.
 It does not seek the dirty of life. nor will it print it. The wholesome good news of the day and the telling of wars and casualties and the what-not of history is its province. It hits the head of wrong and applauds the genius of right. It tells the every day story of life's happenings for the man, the woman and the child of the family alike. If it is worthy of being told it is in it's columns.
 And then, if good deed is done 1t is eheered and crowned. although the halo might be only of words
 Yet who of us, even when we believe we have done well, do not like to be told of it, or read of it. We-all of us-like the saying: Well done, faithful servant.

Historic London Building

An Associated Press dispatch from London says that the British sovern- ment has placed St. James palace at the disposal of the peace plenipotcnti- aries representing the Ottoman empire, and the allied Balkan states as a place for holding their conferences, which revives interest in that historic pile" said a travelled man.
 "One of my earliest recollections of of- ficial life was the high sounding titles which our diplomatic representatives to Great Britain bore-envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James. l knew enough of the dictionary to understand the meaning of the double title, but could not make out the Court of St. James, because the sovereign. when in London, occupied Buckingham palace
 Ut seems that St. James palace which stands in St. James street and from which it derives it's name, was, at one time, the chief residence of the English court It was originally hospital, and part of the sixteenth century After Whitehall was burned it became the royal palace and it was there that the court had it's seat from William III to George ". Early envoys were. there fore, commissioned to the Court of St. James. or, as diplomatic language would have it, near the Court of St. James.
 ''The title of our diplomatic represen- tative is now ambassador and has been since President Cleveland raised the rank during his second administration. St. James palace, as I recall it. is sombre and less showy in every way than Buck ingham.'

Charles Wallace Collins. formerly oi Birmingham, but now of Washington, D C., is the author of book entitled Tho Fourteenth Amendment and the States, which has been well received in legal and academic circles" said a well known layman. "The subtitle of the book is "A Study of the Operation of the Re sfralnt Clause of Section One of the Four teenth Amendcent to the Constitution of the United States The book is published by Little, Brown x Co.,, of Boston, and is handsomely bound in blue cloth.
 "On the outer paper cover is this note: The valuable material contained in this volume is the outgrowth of paper read before the Government club of Harvard university during the winter of 1910, since which time the author has treated of ths subject in leading academic and legal journals. He states in his preface that he ''has made no use of the current digests of decisions, annotations to the consti- court reports, except by way of compari- son of results" but "has gone directly to the body of the reports and given each case personal examination"
 "Mr. Collins is a nephew of B. NJ. AL len. He read law in MT. Aliens office here and was admitted to the Alabama bar in 1901. I remember we'll when he came, as a striping, to this city. We were both boarding at Mrs. Nixons, and sat at the same table. I remarked his quiet, gentle manners. his sly humor and his acute mind. I knew he would acqui' himself well and I am now glad to know that he has distinguished himself as a student and author.
 Collins was born in Hale county in 1879 and was reared on the cotton plan tation. He graduated at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in the class of 1899 receiving the degree of B. $. After prac- ticing law in Birmingham four years he studied at the University of Chicago in classics and in ancient history, receiv- ing from that institution in 1907 the de gree of B. A. He then pursued graduate studies in the same university in history ancient and odern-constitutional law and political science. He was appointed a fellow in the University of Chicago ir 1908 and received the degree or M A. year later. In 1909 Collins went to Har- yard and there engaged in the graduate studies of American history. economies political science and constitutional law He has been on the staff of the library of Congress since April, 1911, where he has continued his studies in constitutions law. During the past year he has con .t1 tt,tfi ift,a law to the Yale Law Journal, American Law Review, Columbian Law Review and the South Atlantic Quarterly. He is 2 member of the Alpha Tau Omega fra | ternity."

Some Notable Englishmen

1 Tn the nature of things 1t is not SC easy for a man to rise from obscurity to distinction in England as it is In democratic America" said a profess sional man. still there have been in my time striking examples of British subjects, who started in the humber walks of life, attaining exceptional eminence.

 Many Britishers who have worked their way up from the bottom have been knighted, but Lord Furness, who died recently was the only one that l recall who, beginning life humbly, was created a peer. His father was a coal digger, but at the age of IS he had shown such wonderful capacity as d merchant that he was sent to Sweden as buyer for his firm. He established the famous Furness line of steamers He was a great industrial leader and while he was not a statesman in the broad sense he~ distinguished himself by constructive propositions in the in- terest of wage workers. He was con- sistent liberal in politics even after he entered the house of lords"
