Dr. Eaves on sunday Concerts

"As the eXecutive head of the Mu- sicians' union in Birmingham, I wish to say word in apprecition of the Rev. Dr. George Eaves' letter pub lished in Wednesdays Age-Herald," said M. D. Friedman. president of the Musicians local Not only do the large cities of the north have Sunday con certs throughout the year, but in southern cities Sunday afternoon music is now in vogue.
 Atlanta has a symphony orchestra made up of the professional musicians who are available for concert purposes only on Sunday. The entertainments given in Atlanta are greatly enjoyed and tend, of course, to cultivate a taste for high class music. Birmingham S amended city ordinance which allows Sunday concerts with paid admission is carefully worded so as not to per- init any vaudeville features and so too as not to permit promoters to turn Sun day concerts into a money making bus mess. pr. Eaves' letter was so per- tinent and so tersely expressed that would like to see it reproduced. He said in part:
 "In the absence of free concerts, what better can we do than permit paid concerts? Certainly city of the size of Birmingham ought to have free music in it's own large auditorium. It ought to have the auditorium and splendid organ for this purpose alone, if for no other. 1t ought to have free art gallery associated with that auditorium and free libraray open on Sunday. And l know no better way to get these things than to foster the love of music until the need becomes a great public demand For, in my judgment, the sunday belongs to man, and the city belongs to the same.'''

Lane seems Strong

Frank V. Evans, one of the state exam iners of public accounts, stated yesterday that Judge A. O. Lane is receiving men, ton all over the state as likely candi- date for the governorship in 1914.
 'Of course,' said MT. Evans, T am not taking much interest in politics. But l travel a great deal, and hear great deal of gossip. I have been working In 10 counties recently and in each of these Lane will be strong.
 ''The people are forgetting all isms and extreme and fanatical ideas. The next campaign will be conducted along lines of retrenchment. A business admin istraton will be wanted, I believe, in 1914'

For Congressman at Large

A joint discussion in Birmingham by all candidates for congressman for the state at large is turning into a popular demand. It is everywhere well received, and the candidates themselves see that it is better to come into the open than to go gum shoeing up and down the state and across the middle.
 The candidates are numerous and 30 minutes is all that can be granted to any one of them with no chance to make reply. But in 30 minutes a concise speaker can tell what he does and does not stand for. These 30 minute speeches should be printed in full in the newspapers, and upon them the race can be intelligently decided.
 By all means let the candidates for congressman at large be brought to- gether. Let the date be set, the rules of the debate printed and reduced rates of fair procured. It can be made a great spring holiday, especially if the railroads will grant state fair rates on this occasion. A joint discus sion before the people would harmon ize well with the primary system, and steps should be taken by the Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade to ]4ipg about the proposed meeting be- fore the candidates become too numer- ous to be heard on single day.

 The World came to his hands a tawdry, anaemc. contemptible little daily and he wrought out of this weakling the most courageous giant that ever lifted it's voice on the highways of the republic.
 He was utterly without fear.
 He had few friends-he could not af- ford many He had many enemies-he could not live without any. For years he met with pitiless oppression, but enmity never dulled the edge of his purpose. In- stead he utilized delay and setback and verse as whetstones and on them he kept keen his terrible implacability. He knew no peace.
 He knew no peace.
 His eagle soul was always sore with some deep hurt.
 As winter came into his years he grew blind. But the pail of darkness neither obscured his sanity nor c1oaked his vision. IIs conscripted legions of eyes and ears to scout for him and heard and ruled by second sight
 He is dead-the shell of him-but the shroud is only about his body His name belongs to time. He was of the immortal few who fulfilled to the ultimate of their destinies.
 To mark his grave is to belittle his life. He survives as a mountain in the world memory He was a message; he typified human possibility; he proved how futile and paltry are the barriers of crcum- stance to will full awakened.
