An Excellent Magazine

The Editorial Review for April is one Of the most attractive periodicals of the month. This magazine is published in New York and is recognized forum on subjects political, ethical and civil
 The current number contains, among other things, luminous articles on the presidential candidates by their respec- tive campaign managers. Senator Bank heads contribution, Why Oscar Under wood Should Be Elected President" is an exceptionally able article. The sem ator asserts that Underwood Is democ- racy's best asset and the nations best asset and he proves his case; makes 1t clear that Underwood should be nominated at Baltimore and should be elected in No yember.

Clever Children

"One of the features of the week s engagement of little Emma Bunting in 'Salomy Jane at the Bijou has been the clever acting of Master Victor Con gales, little Miss Martha Whatley-a beautiful girl-and Baby Katherine Whatley," said a regular visitor to the Bijou. .'It Is rare that you see three children under 12 years of age who can do so well, and I would particularly mention Baby Katherine. who Is only years old. yet acts her part in a natural and clever maner.
 q watched the younger members of the company, for children always in- terest me more than grown people on the stage. There was a naturalness and life about their acting that was pleasing. So often stage children are affected and therefore poor actors, but these little folks are just the opposite"

Handsome Landmark Disappearing

"The Roden mansion at the sourn- west corner of Fifth avenue and Eigh- teenth street, which Is being razed to make room for million dollar hotel, is one of the conspicuous landmarks of Birmingham" said an old. citizen. Its interior was elegantly finished and few private houses in Alabama cost as much as that building. There Is something akin to sadness in the pass ing of old buildings. But modern pro- gross takes no account of sentiment when it comes to landmarks.''

He has quietly, at his own expense, investi- gated such. matters in other cities and employed landscape architects to work out practical plans for Birmingham. He will soon have these plans in proper form to submit them to the people generally and specifically to the board Of commissioners of Birmingham and the county board Of revenue.

 We must have a new and larger court house and better jail in the very near future. The new board of revenue is con- posed of five men who will unquestionably provide for a bond issue for this purpose. as soon as proper plans are perfected and presented to the people.
 This new board of revenue will Ike wise go ahead earnestly in building up the county roads on practical lines.
 The city commissioners, I am glad to say, are now giving attention to the city's streets. and it should not be many months before every travelled street in the city of Birmingham will be paved of the best material. Good work on this line has been done in the past several years. Let us urge and push it forward. Where there be kickers let them be pushed aside and let the good work go on.

Growth of Southern Cities

Not only are the newer cities of the south. like Birmingham, growing rapid ly, but older cities also are making wonderful strides" said business man. "The Baltimore Manufacturers Record has feature articles on southern cities These articles are well illustrated and are of absorbing interest. A week or so ago the Manufacturers Record pub lished a sketch of Petersburg-old Petersburg. Va. That city of 25,000 in- habitants has been known to the out side world chiefly because of it's his toric interest. But the article referred to gave facts about it's present com mercial and industrial life that opened my eyes to its importance as a business Center.
 The Richmond sketch in the last issue shows that the capital of the Confederacy has more than doubled in population since the war. It is a city of elegant homes and imposing monu- ments and its business district is fill- Ing up with sky scrapers. Richmond has a great diversity of manufacturing interests. I can remember when that city was known for the most part as a tobacco mart, but now it seems that almost every branch of industry Is re- presented there. It has more small in. dustries than many cities of double its size.
 Charlotte, N. C.. Is another city that Is going forward rapidly. It has grown to be quite a jobbing center and 1t is fast filling up with industries. The south as whole is attracting the at tention of the world and a tide of popu- lation and capital Is turned this way as never before."

Enstcr Sermons

''The liturgical churches have always eeleberated Easter as one of the great est feasts of the year-the greatest, I beleve-and in recent years I have noticed that nearly all the Protestant churches observe the day." said an old churchgoer.
 q learn from the Easter announce ment that the Methodist and Baptist pastors like the pastors of the Cath ollie, Episcopal and Lutheran churches, will preach on Christs resurrection. There seems to be more agnosticism Tn the world today than there was when I was a young man. Some of the com municants of churches that used to be called strictly orthodox have changed their views about some of the funda- mental doctrines. Many who call them selves Christians no longer accept dog mas such as the incarnation, the vir- gin birth of Christ, and the resurrec- ton In some of the denominational institutions %of higher learning ma terialism has taken the place of the old time orthodoxy. But on Easter many able sermons will be preached by Protestant ministers as well as by Catholic priests on the resurrection as a witness of Christs divinity

bad. And as Mr.. Wickersham declines

Makes Second Request.

October II, 1904.
My Dear Mr.. Cortelyou:
Supplemental to my letter Of yes
terday containing my request that
any contribution that the Standard
Oil people may have made to the
campaign be Immediately returned,
I wish to say that my Judgment as
to the propriety of this action Is
confirmed because of the fact
brought into special prominence by
the Standard Oil Company's publi-
cation in the newspapers (Which
I saw after my letter was written
and sent). that much Importance
seems to be attached to the politi-
cal attitude of this company.
Furthermore, in view OF the open
and pronounced opposition of the
Standard OIL Company to the estab-
lishment of the Bureau of Corpora
tions, one of the most important
establishments OF my Administra-
ton, I do not feel willing to accept
this aid. / request, therefore, that
the contribution be returned with
out further delay. OF course.
