IN HOTEL LOBBIES
In Birmingham,s Favor

Birmingham is one of the best adver- tised cities in this country, by far the best advertised of all the cities of the le.- 600 class" said Joseph T. Platt of St. Louis. "I was here as far back as the sos and I could see then that there was some future for the town. but I had no idea that it was going to be a city of 15o.- OOo population in my day l understand that the population is now estimated at 160, coo
 T have made several visits here and l spent few weeks in this city few summers ago. Coal and iron are Birming- hams mainstays as everyone knows, but find that 1t has now a large general commerce. One of the strong points in favor of Birmingham outside of it's mere industrial life is climate. l lived for many years in the north. l used to think that the south would be excessively hot in the summer and that the atmosphere would be enervating. Never was l more mistaken. The summer I spent here was delightful and 1 am told by those who have lived here many years that excess sively hot nights are very rare.
 At it's present rate of growth, Birming- ham, I would say, will be in the 500,ooo class not later than 19So

PRIze POETRY

From Current Literature. December. For twenty years" says Hamilton w.
 Mabie "the country has been too busy
 to take account of it's poetry; but now
 that it is learning that wealth without
 poetry is weariness, and that the divorce
 of the senses from the imagination is
 spiritual scandal. and a breeder of ma
 terial scandals as well, it may turn again
 to the singers who have neither feared nor hattered it, but have refused to be blind-
 ed by it's prosperity or confused by it's re- sounding activities. The new poetry is refreshing reading, not because it is great
 but because it keeps the old loyalty to the
 things of the spirit"
 There are signs of growing interest in
 this new poetry and in the new poets.
 Miss Harriet Monroe has started in Chi cago a little magazine entitled Poetry,
 with adequate financial support for five years promised in advance. MT. W. $. -Braithwaite is about to start a similar en- terprise in Boston-the Poetry Journal.
 And the new Poetry Review of London finds the American public fairly respon- sive to it's appeal. More striking still Is the interest awakened in The Lyric Year. a volume published last month by Mitch ell Kennerley, and containing 100 poems
 by 100 contemporary American poets. This is the result of ar offer made by Mr.
 Ferdinand Earle of $1000 in prizes for the
 three best poems of the year, publication in a magazine not barring poem from it's chance for a prize. About 95o0 poems were sent in and from these 100 were se-
 lected by MT. Earle for publication in
 The Lyric Year." From these, three were selected for the prizes by the two judges, William s. Braithwaite and Ed ward J. Wheeler editor of Current Liter ature. Two of the three prize winners Second Avenue, by Orriek Johns which
 receives the first prize, and An Ode for the Centenary of the Birth Of Ropert

 receives the third prize-have already been published

Southern Representation Blamed


 The attempted reorganization of the republican party in Washington last week proceeded just far enough to develop a proposition to change the basis of representation in the south. No definite plan was presented, but it is plain that if the party is to be kept alive representation must be based on the votes cast at the previous presidential election. This would sre- duce the southern bosses and referees to ciphers.
 Delegates from the south that have not a single electoral vote behind them are always hurtful. They repre- sent office seekers only, and the time his no doubt come for change. The Age e-Herald's special correspondence indicates this.
 But change in southern represen- tation will not rebuild the republican party, It is no doubt desirable. All representation should be representa- tive. What the republican party needs is recruits, however, and where is it to get them? The progressives say they wodld not touch it with a forty foot pole, and the democrats are we'd ded to tariff revision and reform in general. There seems to be no rooi1 for reactionary party in the country at present. It may fight out another campaign, but that fight promises to be hopeless, and it may be it's final effort. The Roots and Lodges and Pen roses have gone out of fashion, and so has any party that is confessedly reactionary.

ACCOMMODATES AMBITION

From the New York Telegraph.
 F. w. woolworth the and 10 cent store man, who has built the tallest build ing in the world on lower Broadway, op- poste the general postoffice, was asked whether the construction of the Wool worth building had been in his mind many years or was comparatively recent thought.
 ''When I was years old,' he answered. T collected a lot of boards and timber and built playhouse about six feet square and eight feet high.
 Tt was a three story affair. with holes through the two floors so that I and my brother, who was then about 5 years old. could go from the first to the third story.
 This to me was the largest building in my little world, which was circum- scribed by the old farm in northern New York where was born.
 q had an idea then that would like to put up larger building than any of the farmhouses in the district. Perhaps the thought of my youthful days was at work subconsciously until the woolworth building presented itself
 At any rate. the building conceived in my childhood days was the embryo of the present Woolworth building. The latter is costlier structure even than the one to be erected on the site of the old rr-'.T'le Assurance building. bonr se5 < roadway. Pine. Nassau and

Peace Conferences in London

The peace conference, made up o1 envoys from Turkey and the allies will meet tomorrow in London at St James palace. At the same time the ambassadors of the powers constltut- ing the triple alliance and also those of the triple entente will meet in Lon don. The latter is called to guide and direct the former, but the former may decide to guide and direct itself.
 The ambassadorial conference is full of jealousy and even of greed. It sits not by invitation but by choice, and 1t may mar and even thwart the best efforts of the peace conference.
 There can be no doubt that the dit- ficult subject in the coming confer ence relates to Albania, province lying along the eastern shore ot the Adriatic sea. Servia wants seaport outlet at Durazzo. Austria, backed possibly by Germany and Italy, says Servia cannot have what Servian arms have won. Austria, in short, wants Albania herself; not immediately, per haps, but in the long run. The triple entente may say "No" to this propo-  sition, and then the triple entente would be face to face with the triple alliance.
 But no one need expect that Rus sia, England and France will loci horns with Austria, Germany ant Italy over Albania. Some way out o1 the dilemma will be devised. No one can foresee how it will be done, but il assuredly will be, for war between the triple entente and the triple al liance would be horror that all civ ilization would at once protest against It will not come. Some plan will bt devised to satisfy both Servia ane Austria, and Turkey will scarcely be consulted.

Fourth Class Postmasters

Congressman Blackmon of Annis- ton has started petition to be pre- sented to the next President of the United States in March, asking him to revoke the order of President Taft placing nearly 36,OO0 fourth class postmasters on the classified list. The petition will be signed by all, or nearly all, democratic members of both branches of Congress, and the question involved will thus be brought directly to the attention of the new President.
 The republican party has been in power nearly 16 years, and the at tempt to reserve to republicans 36,000 offices in the face of democratic victory, is in itself stupendous piece of office grabbing wholly foreign to the spirit of civil service reform. Gov ernor Wilson is no doubt a civil service reformer, but this need not make him a supporter of political trick to keep in office for life 36,000 republicans.
 In the south the order of President Taft is particularly distressing The minor postoffices in this section had been filled without reference to the wishes of the people, and yet MT. Taft proposed to keep those southern ap- pointees for life. Public sentiment in the south will strongly resent this, and surely the coming President will give the subject hearing that will embrace all the circumstances of the case from southern point of view.

ernment the right to sell incl dental and unneeded water power, the proceeds to be used in the develop ment of the river in question, and he further urges Congress to place a like provision in all bills for dams in streams needing slackwater naviga- tion.
 There is no business or other sense in any other view of such cases. Not a bit of power should be wasted and to avoid waste it is necessary to let the government sell what it has ere ated and paid for and does not need for navigation purposes.
 A contrary view is altogether too narrow and anti-federal for considera- tion.. The regulation and control of water power created by dam in a river naturally goes to the government that created it.. A different view is absurd and whimsical showing an un- due and absolutely impossible concep- tion of the rights of states that had expended no money. When water has been penned up at great cost by the government it's control and regulation and sale goes to the source of the en- tire situation.
 Secretary Stimson makes all this very plain. Alabama is deeply inter ested in this question, and the su- preme court has really decided that the federal government has proprie- tary interest in any water power it creates by means of dams in river to which slackwater navigation has been applied.

Ore Land Values

''I was glad to read in The Age-Herald that the men who recently acquired the large tract of red ore land in Shades val ley a few miles below Oxmoor will pro ceed without delay to develop the proper ty and mine merchant ore" said well known Birmingham upbuilder.
 "The diamond drill borings made last fall showed that the ore was of excep- tionally high quality and the company that is to be organized will without doubt do a most profitable business. There Is always demand for a high grade of merchant ore.
 '5rhe men who owned the ore land ana who will form the mining company in- clude J. J. Shannon, J. H. McDonough, w. A Porter and R. NJ. McDonough. The price they paid for their property afforded the seller w. F. Aldrich, good profit, 1t is understood, but in five years from now the price will look very small.
 There may be a good deal of ore land not owned by going companies, but of really good ore the acreage is limited. The one or two bodies of this high class ore outside of the operating companies is attracting the attention of capital. and 10 years from now s500 an acre will be considered cheap for it.

Coal for Panama

The Mobile Register foresees that the government and Colonel Goethals will handle all steam coal at the isth- mus, and it suggests that the cheaper the price of fuel the more ships will be attracted to the canal. The gov ernment should make sure that the price of fuel is reasonable. There will be open bidding in furnishing the gov ernment with coal, and the lowest bid- der, quality being considered, will pre- sumably secure contracts.
 Alabama coal must not only be mined in large quantities but it must have the advantage of slackwater navigation to tidewater. Here" " says the Register, ''comes in the sub ject of getting the water route in shape and in making arrangements to utilize that route from the Warrior and the Jefferson coal fields to the gulf. It is well known that the sub feet has been under active considera- tion for some time, as various accounts in New Orleans, Mobile and Birming- ham papers show; but the very fact that there has been this consideration for some time,' and that means for a considerable time, indicates to the Register that much more rapid go- ing would be better, if we are to see Alabama placed in position to pull down great coal contract with the government by December 1, 1913. Let Birmingham's Chamber of Commerce give the subject attention. There is very little time left. We have been talking about coal on the rivers since Old Dog Tray was pup, and now we want to see something doing. The big industrial city that turns out it's Tive wire workers by the hundred and careers all over the red hills in move ments for good roads, or almost any other good thing, will do we'll to jump in right here and see what sort of a shove the river route needs; and then get behind and give it. Mobile is ready. Lend a hand!'
 This is all very good, but the gov ernment engineer in charge of the locks and dams has his office in Mo- bile, and the editor of the Register should drop in and ask him why he does not compel the contractors to complete the locks and dams in the 'Bigbee and the Warrior.

Water Powers in Rivers

Secretary of War Stimson discusses ct length slackwater navigation in the rivers of the country and the use of the incidental by-product water power through the consent and action of the government. The proprietary interest of the government in such power has been settled by the United States su- preme court beyond question, and MT. Stimson cites the cases in which this was done. What the government ere ates and pays for in a river it alone controls should belong to it. else it may be wasted altogether.
 Secretary Stimson recommends that the general dam act be amended so that it will specifically give the gov

Dr. and Mrs. Charles Whelan and Hugh Scales attended the southern field trials at I.etohatchie Monday to Wednesday.
 returning to Birmingham Wednesday night.
 Speaking of the trials, Hugh Scales, who has for many years been interested in breeding high class bird dogs, said q believe Momonney the greatest bird
 dog that has appeared in field trials in 15 years He is small, light weight but
 has shown more class than any and all other dogs that were shown against him. Momonney has had test that no other
 star dog has had. He has been worked
 clear across the continent from the Pa cifc coast and the northwest to the south. On the Pacific he was tried out on that
 hardest of game birds. blue quail. On the prairles he made good on prairie chick l ems He has worked fine on pheasants-
 rather unusual--and on our quail he is
 unsurpassed.

 is owned by Jim Avent, the noted dog trainer of Grand Junction, Tenn. l "Dr. Whelan's Rocksand II made a fine showing, playing in bad luck, how ever, in not pointing or not coming upon birds. I should say. He was started in | the early hours when birds have not
 stirred much-every sportsman knows what disadvantage that is. In field trials
 everything goes with rush and a gallop
 on horseback. and luck is an clement in
