Children's Day at the Fair

The educational authorities of Bir- mingham and Jefferson county have done well in making Monday, October 2, school day at the state fair, in- stead of Friday, in the second week of the fair, the school holiday as in former years. The Birmingham State fair has many features that are in teresting and delightful to children and the older pupils, and for the latter, cducative as well as diverting.
 The fair grows better and better each year. We will have splendid ex- hibits this year and all Birmingham and all Alabama, for that matter, will have just cause to be proud of the great annual show.
 Visitors will come to the fair iron, all parts of the state, and Mississippi Tennessee and Georgia will be rep resented. Birmingham should make a special effort to swell the gate re- ceipts. If the children attend in mass

Campaign Contributions

Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the democratic national finance commit tee, declares that the committee feels encouraged over the contributions re- ceived, but that there is urgent need of $750,000 additional to pay the legitimate expenses to the close of the campaign. He adds that the feel ing of confidence throughout the country that Wilson and Marshall will be elected is hurting in financial way. The contributions so far have come from 17,176 persons.
 Alabama will no doubt greatly in- crease her contributions after the meeting of the Wilson and Marshall clubs in Birmingham on the 4th prox. when the question will be thor oughly discussed and ways and means for raising money provided.
 It is quite evident that the swollen campaign funds of the past elections are not going to be in evidence this year. So much publicity has been given the contributions of "big busi- ness" in former campaigns and the revelations recently made have been so unfavorably received by the public, and have caused so much rude and caustic comment, that the financial agents of the political parties have to be prepared at all times to furnish an alibi against a possible charge that they have been seen in the neighbor- hood of any of the big financial insti- tutions of the country.
 Apparently, therefore, a patriotic member of the "malefactors of great wealth" will have about as much diff culty this year in making campaign contribution as Andy Carnegie will have in dying poor. It is sometimes hard to get rid of money.
 If the people have created this con- dition, and resent questionable contri- buttons, they ought to cheerfully pay the bills themselves. They must be paid.

student Making n Name

Chester Sandman, who has been elected secretary of the senior law class at the University of Alabama, is one of the best known and most esteemed of Birming- hams young men of the student set said gentleman who takes a lively h. terest in educational matters.
 T recall Sandman when he was boy in short trousers. I happened to be at tending Sunday school celebration at Temple Emmanu-El, and picked Band man out of large group of boys as one who would distinguish himself in the intellectual realm. At the age Of l2 he looked like a young professor. l did not know the name of the boy and had no idea who his parents were, although l became we'll acquainted with both father and son later on.
 Chester Sandman had an excellent record at the high school, and upon graduating there went to the University off Pennsylvania, where he acquitted himself with great honor He was abroad two years for study and in Berlin de- voted himself especially to mathematics. Returning from Europe, he became a high school teacher and was successful there as an instructor In mathematics. He is now 24 years of age and, It Is safe to say, he will distinguish himself in law. certainly as a student of the philos- ophy of law if not as a practitioner at the bar. rather expect to see Band- man some day member of the faculty of large institution of learning. Few men will have better all round equip ment "

Many great musical artists will be heard in this country during the coming season, but the virtuosos in which most interest centers, perhaps, are Ysaye, vlolinist, and Godowsky, the pianist. Efforts will be made to have one or both of these great artists appear in Birmingham, but plans have not been sufficiently advanced to make any announcement.
 Leopold Godowsly is, in the opinion of some critics the greatest pianist now liv- ing. He is unquetionably a master musi- elan and a wonderful performer. some of the brilliant young panists of America are pupils of Godowsky, one of them be- ing a resident of Birmingham. The Mu- nich correspondent of the Musical Courier in speaking of the eminent artist, says.
 "The engagements for his tour have long ago exceeded the number of concerts originally planned and it is impossible for the artist to remain long enough in Amer ica to fulfill all the engagements which his impresario, R. E. Johnston, wished to make for him. On the way back Nome he will, if time allows, play once or twice in London, and plans to reach Vienna about the middle of April to resume the work at the Mesterschule. Owing to the long interruption caused by his Amer ican tour this will keep him busy well into next summer; he will in fact con- tinue his work at his summer home next year"

lodging for visitors" said Percy Clark.
 During the last fair more than one instance came under my observation where business men who had come to Birmingham to inspect exhibits, and in one case to let brick contract. had to go home ahead of schedule because every hotel and we'll known apartment house was full to overnowing.
 "I also know of instances of rank holdups of visitors by one apartment house. whose proprietors boasted of getting s2.5 each from two persons in room when s1. 50 was full and fair price. Men were begging for a place to rest few hours.
 Now, 1t may seem very easy for the experienced to find lodging in big city. even during great gatherings, but as I understand 1t the fair is intended in part as an educative enterprise to which our country cousins are invited. Very well. Let's take care of them the best we can by looking to their comfort, pleasure and protection while they are within our gates"

His theory was attractive. His lec- lures, now published in book form, have an appeal to the imagination and a distinct literary charm. But the distinguished French professor has proposed theory and nothing more.
 It may be true that many of the eminent biologists and chemists are agnostic in religion, but some of the ablest and most advanced men of science in the past 25 years have been distinguished for their adherence to Christian creeds and dogma. The late Lord Salisbury although best known to the world as stateman started out as a chemist, and despite his busy political life he was one of the active members of the British association and shortly before his death read an Illuminating paper on modern discov- cries in chemistry. The late Lord Kelvin, one of the greatest of physic- ists and electricians. was stanch Presbyterian. In all the churches, Catholic md Protestant, many great scientists are found today, and there is no more conflict between true Christianity and science than there was when the evolution theory first became popular. If the note of scepti- cism in some of the churches is more accentuated now than it was 50 or 100 years ago, science must not be held responsible. Faith in the theo- logical sense is supernatural gift, and scientific knowledge is a matter altogether aside from the super natural.
 Science has advanced and will con- tinue to advance, but it is now as near solving the origin of life and the destiny of man as it ever will be. It assumes this and that, but the British association leaders, great men though they be, are as children when it comes to the riddles of the universe or prob ing nature to learn the hidden ways of God.

This Era of Prosperity

| Each week brings new evidence of solid prosperity in the business world. In the spring when business began to revive and when signs of activity ap- peared in the early summer, chronic pessimists said that the improvement was not substantial and that business would be more or less unsettled until after the presidential election. But I before midsummer boom was in full swing, and now, at the middle of Sep tember, the whole country is fully realizing the fact that we have started on an unprecedented era of good times-an era when new high records will be the rule, and when vast capital will be let loose for transportation and industrial, betterments.
 Last Fridays New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin published quoted statement from a man prominently engaged in the steel business as saying: q understand that the forthcoming quarterly state ment of the United States Steel com pany will be one of the best which has been made in the history of the company. Bookings are now at the rate of 53,000 tons per day, as against an output of 3s,00O tons, or nearly a 50 per cent increase. The steel plants are doing such business that it is impossible to get work turned out before spring. Recently a bonus of $5 per ton was offered on 800 tons of structural steel if it could be delivered in 90 days, but this was refused with the statement that the company could not guarantee it's delivery until March,"
 This condition is significant and particularly gratifying inasmuch as it indicates plainly that the high de- gree of prosperity which we are hav- ing now is not affected by political agitation, but that it will continue through 1913, mo matter who is elected" No part of the United States will be more directly benefited by this remarkable activity in the steel trade than the Birmingham dis trict. The large earnings of the Steel corporation will be strongly felt here abouts. A great deal of new con- struction work in the district within the next 12 months may be counted on. The coal mines of Alabama are be- ing worked to their full capacity. Never was there greater demand for the output of the mines. The iron market continues to advance and be- fore the end of the present year all the old idle furnaces will be ready for blast. This prosperity is, in some respects, unparalleled.

SPINE WRITING" IN DRAMA

From the Century Magazine.
 Perhaps the most encouraging and most needed warning of the box office to the would be dramatist, writes David Belas- co in the October Century, discussing ..The Playwright and the Box Office is against spending years in the requirement of erudition and the formation of a style of tessellated beauty. A famous Amer ican novelist pre-eminent for the subtlety of his style and the fineness of his char acter drawing, is said to be now writing his first play. Reputation in his case. too, will secure it's production, but I doubt whether any manager familiar with the authors fiction believes him capable of turning out an acting play" Experience shows that the rather rough shod direct more often achieves play of this sor. than does the finely labored adornment of the precision. And the manager never accepts the play of such an author be- cause of it's precosity quality, but despite them--if he accepts it at all.
 It is difficult indeed for authors to dis abuse their minds of the notion that a play must be Literature" If play turns out to be literature in addition to being a play, so much the better; but in produc- ing plays we are not trying primarily to produce literature. The purpose is to tell a convincing story In the brief two hours during which the actors may detain an audience. That is done in a (otally diff ferent way from that of telling a convinc- ing story by means of the printed page.

 "The convention will be held in the armory of the city hall. Three sessions each day will be held on the first two days, which will be devoted strictly 10 business. On the third day, October 10, the delegates will assemble at the city hall at 9:3O where street cars will be in waiting to take the delegates to the fair grounds where Good Roads day will be observed, and a number of eloquent and distinguished speakers will address the meeting.
