growth, the lack of compulsory edu- cation, and the lack of factory legis- lation and supervision.
 Rome was not built in a day, and Birmingham is following, in that re- spect, in Rome's footsteps. The Sur vey does not exaggerate our deficien- cies. The listing of them in compact form may give us an uncomfortable feeling, but it will certainly result in great good if the Surveys debits be frankly accepted with an undertow of determination to abolish them at the earliest possible moment, Let us at any rate bravely acknowledge our deficiencies to begin with and go to work to overcome them as best we can.

ADVICE FOR MOTOR NovIcEs

John S. Harwhite in Lesles.
 Paradoxlcal as it may sound. the first step in learning to run car is to under stand how to stop it. The owner who re- quires several minutes to start his car will lose nothing more than time and temper; but he who spends but one tenth of that amount of time in remem- bering how to stop it quickly may send his machine to the junk heap and him self to the hospital before he has figured out which is the brake and which the gear shift lever. On the majority of cars the pedal at the left disengages the clutch, that at the right applies the ser vice brake, while one of the levers at the side connects with the emergency brake. Consequently the first thing to be done, even before practicing cranlSing the motor, is to find out which of these side levers operates the emergency brake, and then to shove it or pull it, as the case may be, to it's 'hard on position, until familiarity with the action and 'feel" is assured. Then. in conjunction with this, the novice should practice pushing with his feet against both pedals. He should continue this until his first inn pulse, when he sees danger ahead and there is mo time to think,'' Is to push firmly against both pedals at the same time that he reaches for the emergency brake lever. Under actual running con ditions the resulting stop may be some what sudden. but everybody will admit that few unnecessary jerks and jars are preferable to smash up involving serious loss and injury.

Presidential Possibilities

'I am no politician, but It looks to me as if the republicans would nominate Taft notwithstanding the clamor of the Roose- welt forces. and as if the democrats would nominate underwod'' said John T, Lyall of Chicago.
 Three months ago one seldom heard -Underwoods name mentioned, except as chairman of the ways and means com mttee. Now every body who talks politics at all has 8 good deal to say about the Alabama statesman. Harmon does not seem to be as strong as he was six months ago. As to Woodrow Wilson, he seems to be holding his own, but I do not believe he can get the necessary two-tfrirds vote in the democratic convention.
 'I am an independent when it comes to voting. l voted in four presidential cleo tions-twice for the republican ticket and twice for the democratic. cast my ballot in 1892 for Cleveland and in 1904 for Park CT I haven't made up my mind how I wsill vote next November, but 1t looks as if the democrats would have a better chance of winning than they have had since 1S92'' G

STUDYING THE DICTIONARY

From the Boston Transcript.
 The old lady who, after reading pr. Johnson's dictionary from title page to colophon, found 1t a very interesting book. but lacking in continuity and con nection. stated the character of diction- aries in general still, she was doubt less wiser at the finish than at the start, and in most cases a similar course of reading would produce a like result. To rather undue extent people appropri- ate their vocabularies from the speech of others, or from desultory reading
 This is rather haphazard way of ac- quiring the proper methods or terms of expression, to say nothing of the forma- tion of style. It is dangerous unless care fully balanced and steadied by authority.
 The dictionary is not only very interest ing book. but next to the Bible it should
 be the one in the library the most fre- quently consulted. Like the Bible, it is usually the one that receives the least teaching methods turn out so many poor spoilers. 1t no doubt invites frequent ref
 erence for the correction of photographic cal deficiencies. but that is only one and
 the slightess of it's functions It belittles its dignity to make it take the place oi
 the old spelling book. Many mines of learning have been explored and exploit ed to furnish the information that it has to give

MT. Underwood Looming Large

It is long. time to June 25-flye months and half, and public senti- ment can do deal of crystallizing in nearly half of a year. This is Oscar Underwood's great advantage. Placed as he is at the head of his party in the House-at the head of it's great est committee-equipped as he Fer tariff revision work, it almesz a- evitable that public SC Heut @aI center upon him as the t J t9 destroy the system of 1o5her rates and to restore to ae people q reasonable cost of living.
 Oscar Underwood is today e democrats second choice, and iH , Hs he bids fair to be ever.Haa choice in other states just as he IS today in Alabama. The man who IS eyerybody's. second choice is neces- sarily man of exceptional fitness
 
 and capacity, and that is just where Oscar Underwood stands. He would make an excellent President and he would serve all equally well.
 Time runs in favor of such a man, and so does his work in the House. The two will make him the logical and well nigh inevitable candidate of his party in June. The universal second choice will become by that time the first choice as things are going, and the pace bids fair to be accelerated rather than slackened. The rise of Oscar Underwood is the marvel of American politics, and we may look for it's continuation in the week of June 25 in the good city of Baltimore.

Birmingham's Debts and Credits

The Surveys comprehensive, if not exhaustive, discussion of Birming- hams advantages and disadvantages, places to it's credit many things, in- cluding a commission form of govern ment and an excellent system of pub- lie schools. Almost anything progress sive is possible in a city that has a good government and good schools.
 But Birmingham has inherited from . crude past some things that the Survey correctly classes as debits. The city's debits are no longer in print than it's credits, but many of them are distressing and all are probably true, and every citizen should post them where he can read them often.
 Some of these debits the city com mission is trying to overcome. It is trying, for example, to .straighten out the city's revenue system so that ex- penditures will not exceed receipts. It will no doubt solve the grade cross ing problem. It should put an end to chaingangs clanking through the streets collecting waste. It should provide better city prison.
 These changes would still leave in the city's debits the lack of public library, the lack of city plan of

Legislator n stenogrnpher

S. T. Wright, member of the legislature from Fayette county, and a member of the republican executive committee, was In Birmingham yesterday. During the last session of the legislature Mir. Wright became a great admirer of the humorist of the house, Dr. R. l.. Huddleston, of FL more. As a result the doctors most laughable speeches reached the press just as soon as he uttered them.
 MT. Wright is a stenographer. and as soon as pr. Huddleston would arise to his feet, the legislator from Fayette would get busy. As soon as it became known that Wright was reporting the speeches of Dr. Huddleston, the former became favorite with the boys of the press.
 For some time Dr. Huddleston won dered how his remarks found their way into the papers of the state without amendment, infringement or addition. And when he learned the cause a noticeable embarrassment always followed his sub sequent efforts. Finally so urgent be- came the doctor that the attentions be stopped, that Wright, fearing lest his in- terest might deprive the dull sessions of their usual spark of mirth, agreed to de- sst.
 Mir. Wright was one of the popular members of the house

A GRANTED CALENDAR

By Sydney Dobell. First came the primrose, On the bank high, Like a maiden looking forth From tho window of tower When the battle rolls below, So looked she. And saw the storms go by. Then came the wind flower In the valley left behind. Az wounded maiden, pale With purple streaks of woe, When the battle has rolled by, Wanders to and fro. So tottered she, Disheveled in the wind. Then came the daisies, On the first of May, Like a hammered shows advance While the crowd runs by the way, With ten thousand flowers about them l They came trooping through the fields, As happy people come, | So came they.
 As happy people come When the war has rolled away, With dance and tabor, pipe and drum, | And all make holiday.
 | Then came the cswslip. | Like a dancer in the fair: She spread her little coat of green, | And on it danced she, With fillet bound about her brow, A iillet round her happy brow. ! A golden fillet round her brow.
 And rubies in her hair.

The Robins' Friend

John H. Wallace, Jr., chairman of the fish and game commission of the state, is friend of the robins, and is strongly op- posed to the argument of some men that as these birds are merely "carpetbaggers,' n sportsmen should be allowed to shoot them at will.
 MT. Wallace says: You are cognizant of the fact that for many years the peo- pie of Alabama have been at perfect lib- erty to prey upon the treasures of na- ture's storehouse at will, and that it took most arduous efforts to convince them that something should be spared for future generations. This l have endeayored to do. I hold that our natural resources are not the specific property of anyone but that we only have usufruct in these. to take what we need and use the same economically, and transmit the rest tc generations yet to be-.

THE SNOW STORM

From Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore KNOR all this time 1t was showing
 harder than it ever had showed be- A fore, so far as a man might guess at it; and the leaden depth of the sky came down like mine turned upside down on is. ixsapaf the Nfidkes were 50 very large; for have seen much larger flakes in a shower of March, while sow ing peas; but that there was no room be- tween them. neither any relaxing, nor any change of direction.
 Watch, like a good and faithful dog, followed us very cheerfully, leaping out of the depth which took him over his back and ears already even in the level places: while in the drifts he might have sunk to any distance out of sight and never found his way up again. However, we helped him now and then, especially through the gaps and gateways; and SO. after deal of floundering, some laugh ter and a little swearing, we came all safe to the lower meadow, where most of our flock was huddled.
 Of the sheep upon the mountain and the sheep upon the western farm, and the cattle on the upper barrows, scarcely one in 10 was saved, do what we would for them. And this was not through any neglect, but through the pure impossi- bility of finding them at all That great snow never ceased a moment for three days and nights and then when all the earth was filled and the topmost hedges were unseen, and the trees broke down with weight (wherever the wind had not frightened them), a brilliant sun broke forth and showed the loss of all our cus- toms.
 All our house was quite showed up, ex- cept where we had purged a way by dint of constant shoyelings. The kitchen was as dark and darker than the elder cellar and long lines of furrowed seal lops ran even up to the chimney stacks.

One on Pope

Tom Long of Jasper, who is worth a trifle more than quarter of a million dollars, inquired about the noon hour concerning the whereabouts of a restau- rant in which he could procure a good dinner for 15 cents.
 "I know where such restaurant is,'' volunteered a Birmingham man, 'but ] cannot imagine why one in your position l should have desire to dine in place of that variety"
 "Oh, have no intention of eating in g 1 restaurant of that type.' replied the gen. tleman from Walker. T am simply hunt. i ing my brother, Pope"

Taft Republicans

A meeting of the Sixth district exec utive committee of the republican party met at D. m. at the city hall at Bir- mingham and called a district convention to meet at Tuscaloosa on March next
 This committee" said a Taft repub- lican, was composed of Is men besides the chairman. Seventeen of this com mittee were non -officeholders. It looks as if the old gag about postmaster's con ventions did not apply in this case. The committee enthusiastically indorsed Pres ident Taft for reappointment and recom- mended the reelection of Major Barker for national committeeman. All members of the committee were present"
