Presidential Politics

The national political situation is con stantly changing" said F. M Freeman of Milwaukee. "Unti Illinois elected delegates to the republican convention it looked as If Taft would be nominated on the first ballot. The indications now point to dark horse Roosevelt has a great deal of strength, but unless he can stampede the convention at the start he will fail to receive the nomination.
 T usually vote the republican ticket. think 1t would be better to nominate Associate Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court. Hughes is not a magnetic man, or a man of persona.po larity like Roosevelt, but his strength of character and his clean record as governor of New York would make him lieve he could carry his own state and that is something of prime importance, for whoever carries New York is elected.
 Six months ago it seemed to be a safe bet that Woodrow Wilson would be the democratic candidate, but as the demo- crats have the two-thirds rule. Wilson will not be able to win in the Baltimore con vention. was in New York recently and there was a good deal of talk there in favor of Underwood. I also hear Un- derwood highly spoken of in the middle west. I think the" democratic nomina- tion lies between Clark, Harmon and Un- dei~ood.'

Clean Up and Light Alleys

"The shighwaymen of the alleys are getting too common,' said a citizen whose duties keep him down town at late hour, and I think the authorities should take steps to clean them up in double sense.
 T have noticed on several nights negro women standing at the Twentieth street entrance to Fifth alley who accost men passing. What is needed is to clean up these alleys of undesirable negroes and the shacks used by them which harbor highwaymen and purse snatchers. All the alleys need to be well lighted.
 T desire to suggest a visit by the street superintendent the health off cer and the building inspectors to the alleys in the heart of the city. The own CTS of the miserable excuses for houses should be required to pull down some of the worst and those not torn down should be thoroughly eleansed and whitewashed inside and out.
 These crime breeding alleys with their filth. shacks and denizens are a disgrace to Birmingham. l have passed through some of them during the day and what they don't produce in the way of disease in the day time they surely make up for in indecency and crime during the night

HISTORY AND ROMANCE.

Hildegarde Hawthorne suggests in a re- cent magazine article that there is no book better suited for reading on a rainy day than one of Prescotts histories, either the Conquest of Mexico" or the Conquest of Peru" Any one who has ever read page of Prescotts fascinating works will heartily agree with the opinion expressed by Hildegarde Hawthorne No doubt the Conquest of Mexico is more interesting and enjoyable to a majority of readers, because Mexico is our neigh bor and we are more familiar with that country and it's historical events than we are with the past and the present of Peru. Although General Lew Wallace wrote vivid and dramatic story of Cor tez's invasion of Mexico, entitled, "The Fair God." in which he combined the craft of the romantic novelist with that of the historian, even the color his inimit- able art was able to give it does not
 make his book any more absorbing than Prescott's moving recital. Even at this late day we seem to hear the great gongs of the teocallis reverberating over the

A Keystone Has-Been

Back in the Fiftieth Congress John Dalzell, champion packer of standpat protectionists, was elected to Con- gress, and he has held seat in that body ever since-in all "A years. But on March 4 next MT. Dalzell will be recalled by his absence only, for in the turmoil of last Saturdays pri- mary he was refused a nomination by his own party in Pittsburg itself.
 This goes to show that even Pitts burg is becoming tired of protection for profits. It is fine evidence that Pennsylvania has had enough of pro- tectionism and high rates that created millionaires by the dozen. MT. Dal- zell felt the ground slipping from un- der his feet two years ago, and now he is left stranded, and hereafter he will shine as a private citizen if he shines at all. Men with records of in terests served do not come back.

--------s.------ - MILLINERY AND SUFFRAGE

From the Millinery Trade Review.
 "There is no other way for the milliner to mete out punishment to the foolish legislators in all states where laws have been passed regulating the size of wo- mans hat, the style of feather she shall wear, the size of a hat pin, and when and where she may wear her hat, than to become a full-fledged suffragist," a city milliner says. "Not a militant suf- fragette going around with a hammer, hitting head whenever and wherever one is seen, but an agitating suffragist, banding together to aid in the defeat of any member of the state legislatures or Congress who will introduce a bill af- fecting women's headwear, or who will vote for such a bill She should bring all her influence to bear upon father, brother, beau and all other men relatives and friends to cast a vote against such a man. It takes but few votes these days to determine the election of a candi- date. If the milliners and all women en- gagged in the millinery business would take this matter up seriously and work together along the lines referred to above, few men would want to jeopardize their positions by voting against the wishes of the women."

part of business men an active can- vass for the music fund will be started within the next few days.
 The concerts last year and the year before were given under the auspices of the Music Study club, and they will be under the same auspices this summer. The women of the club raise the money and manage the con- certs. The Music Study club has met with much encouragement this year. Already the sum of $2000 is in sight, including 5000 subscribed by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 Last year the series of concerts ex- tending over a period of 10 weeks cost not quite 5000. The ladies hope this year to have funds ample to pay for daily concerts for II or 12 weeks, and to augment the band from 20 to 30 men. In order to carry out such plans there must be a fund of at least $6000. Birmingham is booming and it should be easier to raise $6O0O by private subscription this season than it was to raise $2700 or $28OO last year.

GREATEST OF ALL SHIPS
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 A FrER the Hamburg-American
 "A Line had announced the building A of ship, the Imperator, of greater dimensions than the giantess Olympic of the White Star fleet, the cunard company began planning a still bigger storm defer, the Apuitania. The Imperator is designed to be 300 feet long and to measure 5000 tons gross, and the Apuitania, while no longer will be of greater tonnage. Shipping folks have been waiting to hear what the North German Lloyd, which owns the biggest German built steamship on the seas. the George Washington, was going to do. They heard yesterday, when a cable came to Oelrichs & Co., general agents of the line in this country, saying that a new colossus had been ordered from the Schichau Shipbuilding company of Dan zig, and that she will be completed not later than August, 1914. Her tonnage will be practically double that of the George Washington, or about 54,000. and she will be of sufficient speed" the news agent of the line says, ito make the trip be- tWeen NeW 1ork anu flylnoulh anu De- tween Cherbourg and New York with the schedule certainly of an express train.

 The new type from the viewpoint of the steamship companies is that introduced by the coming of the Olympic, which can make p knots. The belief of the Ger man shipbuilders and owners is that the big and wide and deep ship-that is, the one with the most stability. is what the travelng public prefers to the slim gray hound.

 The Kaiser is continually prominent be- fore the world as sportsman. Riding, shooting and yachting are his chief pas times, though he Is good at tennis. which he generally plays at the fine courts at Wilhelmshoe, near Cassel The officers of the garrison are invited to the games, and the Empress pours out the coffee and often buffers the "Knuppels." Once young lieutenant, who was not hungry, politely declined the roll offered by the Kaiserin, quite in ignorance of the fact that to do so was a serious breach e etiouette. The Kaiser was close to him and noticing the youngsters mistake olietly observed My dear fellow, when the Empress offers you roll buttered by her own hands you will doubtless not want to eat it. but you can surely have it framed
 on one occasion while on military round the Emperor came across private with a very melancholy visage. and he asked the reason of the troubled face.
 ..Its like this, sir said the soldier, i've fallen in love with a sergeant's daughter, and she loves me all right, but the father won't let her marry anyone of lower rank than his.
 ..oh, that's it, laughed the Kaiser. Well. trot off and tell him the Emperor has made you a sergeant"

From James Creelman's "On the Great Highway
 In the afternoon of his last day on earth the President began to realize that his life was slipping away and that the efforts of science would not save him. He asked Dr. Rixley to bring the sur geons in. One by one the surgeons en- tered and approached the bedside. When they had gathered about him the Presi- dent opened his eyes ana said:
 "It is useless, gentlemen; I think we ought to have a prayer"
 The dying man crossed his hands on his breast and half-closed his eyes. There was a beautiful smile on his counte- nance. The surgeons bowed their heads. Tears streamed from the eyes of the white-clad nurses on either side of the bed The yellow radiance of the sun shone softly in the room.
 "Our Father, which art in heaven" said the President in clear. steady voice.
 The lips of the surgeons moved
 'fHallowed be thy name~ Thy kingdom come Thy will be done"
 The sobbing of a nurse disturbed the still air. The President opened his eyes and closed them again.
 Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven"
 A long sigh. The sands of life were running swiftly. The sunlight died out, and raindrops dashed against the win dows.
 Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into tempta- tion, but deliver us from evil" Another silence. The surgeons looked at the dying face and the friendly lips.
 For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever. Amen'
 Amen, whispered the surgeons.

THE REAL BOY SCOUT
E. West in Leslie's.

By James E. West in Leslies.
 The real boy scout is not sissy" He is not hothouse plant, like little Lord Fauntleroy. There is nothing milk and water" about him; he is not afraid of the dark He does not do bad things because he is afraid of being decent. Instead of being puny, dull or bookish lad who life, energy, enthusiasm, bubbling over with fun, full of ideas as to what he wants to do and he knows how the wants to do it. He has many ideals and many heroes He is not hitched to his mothers apron strings While he adores his mother and would do anything to save her from suffering or discomfort, he is self-relant, sturdy and full of vim. He is just the sort of boy that his father is proud to own as his son.
 The real boy scout Is fond of the woods He knows how to handle himself when out in the forest, in company or alone. He may not be a specialist in athletics, but he gets all the fun there is in the games, acquiring alertness and nor nal development of his muscle. He plays games that develop his resourceful- ness and his keenness. He is a boy of moral stamina, with positive ideas as to what is right and he is ready to fight for them. He is not a goody-goody boy, but has high sense of honor and does not tell lies to save himself from punishment When he does anything wrong, he is brave enough to confess and take the consequences.
 A scout is an all-around boy. When he has passed the requirements for ten derfoot, second-class and first-class scout and shown his willingness to obey the scout oath and scout law, he is equipped phy yscally, mentally and morally to an unusual degree.

Outgrown County Buildings

Dr. W. A. Oates, state prison in spector, insists that this county needs new jail. The present jail is, he says, unfit for the housing of human beings.v At the best it is overcrowd- ed. It is, in short, "a disgrace to the county and state," says Dr. Oates, and surely he knows what jail should be. He certainly knows what a jail should not be.
 Dr. Oates is not an inspector of courthouses. If he were he would declare that Jefferson county has out grown its courthouse. He might ex- press himself in even stronger language.
 The Board of Revenue has an op- portunity now to put out of sight an overcrowded courthouse and an over crowded jail. The courage on the part of the Board of Revenue to meet the courthouse and jail problem should not be lacking.

''The public should take advantage Of hearing the popular lecture to be given Wednesday night, April II. by pr. John A. Witherspoon of the Vanderbilt univers- ity," said prominent physician.
 'Dr. Witherspoon is an authority on practical sanitation, is deep thinker, and finished orator. In delivering the popular lectures for which he is noted, he discards technical and scientific terms as much as possible, making his address clear to the mind of the laymen, but without losing any of it's force or effect. His strong personality and pleasant ad- dress makes his lectures interesting as well as instructive and a very profitable evening can be spent listening to him. His subject will be Sanitation and Pub lie Health,' and I speak for the medical profession when I say that every public spirited man or woman, especially preach CTS, teachers and all interested in public health should attend the lecture"

Giant Steamships

The sinking of the Titanic, one of the two 45,000 ton vessels, with it's ap- palling fatality list, may result in fur ther improvement in marine architec- ture, but as the designer of the i'll fated steamer points out, there can be no such thing as an unsuitable ship. It is seen that terrific col lision with an iceberg destroys the strongest of them.
 A question will naturally arise now as to the advisability of building such mammoth steamers as the Titanic and the Olympic. The Titanic had pas senger capacity of something like 4000 and had the disaster occurred at a season of the year when travel is heaviest the number of souls drowned would probably have been twice as great as the number that perished Monday morning.
 The Hamburg American lines steamship ''Imperator," now in course of construction, will have 50,000 ton displacement, and contract has been awarded for a still larger steamer. This is an age of luxury and of stu pendous construction. But will there be no limit to the capacity of ships? The larger the ship the easier the mo- tion, and consequently there is less seasickness among the passengers. But better have the voyage rougher and fewer passengers aboard the ship than run the risk of wholesale destruction of human life in case of a wreck.

Harmony at Today's Convention

The convention that meets today in Montgomery was called to renominate Associate Justices Sayre and McClel- -lan, and to place before the Baltimore convention and the democracy of the country the honored name of Oscar W. Underwood for President This is the work that will rightfully come be- fore it under the instructions of the ballots cast on April 1. Those ballots are each and all instructions to the convention, for conventions are no longer free agents. Instructions come straight from the people, and all popular instructions should be obeyed
 The constitution of Alabama stands alone as a quadrennial affair. In no other state are regular sessions of the legislature four years apart. All the rest meet either annually or biennial ly. In over half of the states govern ors are elected to serve four years, but legislative sessions four years apart are unknown outside of Ala bama. This is the one quadrennial state, and in 1914 all state questions will legitimately and properly come before the people at the primaries for instructions and decisions. Until then they should rest untouched.
 It would be unfortunate indeed if the splendid and unique campaign of Oscar Underwood should be marred by any dissensions at the convention. The Age-Herald has full faith it will not be. Every democrat in Alabama hopes for and anticipates the great leaders, nomination at Baltimore, and that solid sentiment should not be marred in any way by untimely dis sensions.

Pennsylvania Republicans

It was predicted that Penrase's fall from power as a machine boss in Pennsylvania would follow the defeat of his candidate for mayor in Phila- delphia, and the overwhelming tri- umph of his party enemies in last Saturdays primary has at length driven him out of politics and will cause his retirement from the Senate.
 He has lost control of the state re- publican convention, and he will be deposed both as state chairman and national committeeman. It is not be- lieved that he can "come back" He is rich and he will probably not at tempt the feat. His senatorial term expires on March 4, 1915.
 The regular republican organiza- ton in Pennsylvania, based as it was on all possible protection for profits that could be squeezed through Con- gress, was heavily defeated through out the state. Its overthrow involves not only President Taft and Senator Penrose, but also Congressman Dal- zell of Pittsburg, whose reelection is reported to be uncertain.
 Pennsylvania is not so tied to pro- tectionism that it has not time to stop to punish machine of an exception ally autocratic nature. It is machine that has heretofore ruled primaries as we'll as conventions, but it has gone down at last and there is no expecta- tion of its reappearance. Its enemies are in full control of the party in the rock ribbed republican state.

UNDERWOOD IN GEORGIA
e Columbus (Ga.) Ledger.

From the Columbus (Ga) Ledger.
 As the date of the presidential primary in Georgia-May i-approaches, the Un- derN ood sentiment spreads, and all indi- cations now point to the victory of the Alsbamian in this state by large ma- jority.
 IT. every section of the state the fol- lowers of the able House leader are quite active. according to news from the various counties. In many of the coun- ties strong clubs have been formed, and it is stated that in number the senti- mert for Underwood is practically unan- imous. This will be gratifying news to the numerous friends of the brilliant Ala bama congressman in this section.
 Georgians are sure to stand by Under wood. They cannot afford to go back on their neighbor and the man who, by his zealous work and earnest activity in the lower House, has made it possible for the democrats to elect President this year,
