7ARY COMMITTEE WILL RE-
PORT ON THREE ORDINANCES.

The first regular meeting OF the city
council for the month of Aprn will be
held tonight in the council chamber at
the city hall at 1880 o'clock, this being
the first meeting at this hour for the
present year. Beginning April LIST, the
hour is changed from to 1870 for the
summer months.
Probably the most interesting mat

council tonight will be the reports of
the harbor and sanitary committee on
Ihe milk ordinance, the drinking cup
ordinance and the fruit screening ordi-
nance. All of these ordinances have
been in the hands Of this committee for
some time and had been lost sight ~

tine business on the calendar, but
nothing of unusual interest is expected
to come up at tonight's meeting.

will outhit Ty Cobb this season.
AS the Maps have il doped out Jack
son is a greater natural hitter than
Cobb. They say Joe hits the ball
harder than Ty, and is harder for the
pitcher to outguess. Cobb depends on
outguessing the pitchers. at which he

Jackson uses a longer and heavier

The Obstacle,

The Obstacle.
In the spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love
To a fine tive-room apartment for his
chosen turtle dove.
In swell apartment building that is
strictly up-to date,
With electric elevators and coy
corner CRATE;
To a patent freless cooker and a
handsome touring car
To a sweet domestic drama in which
she would be the star.
On, the cheerful coy evenings by a
Pocahontas fire.
And the confidential chats, Of which
man could never tire;
Oh, the charming little dinners, with
the partner Of his life,
In his five-rOom apartment with his
dainty little wife.
It's a dream that is worth dreaming
and it would be very nice,
There is just one thing preventing IT:
He hasn't got the price.
Some People Whom We All Love.
The gink who smokes a cigarette IN
a telephone booth.
The giddy young gum chewer who
raves about the hero while the play is
in progress.
The gabby individual who has seen
the New Orleans mardi gras and can't
forget Il.
The sweet critic who can't play
Home Sweet Home" on the piano with
one finger.
The literary expert who can't write.
The man who comes along with a
Joe Miller masterpiece and says:
Here's q new one I heard yesterday"
The lodge brother who wants to
make all the speeches.
The man who calls you by your
first name when he has known you
only two minutes.

THOSE STOLEN BALLOTS
Every good citizen, no matter
what party he belongs to, should
stand for an honest count of bal
lots; and without regard to what
candidate it helps or harms.
Charges are made that ballots
cast for Rinaker, Guinea and
Haight were counted fraudulent
ly for Hoyne, for states attor-
.ney.
If there is any Justification for
these charges, they should be
promptly and vigorously inves-
tigated.
Whoever got a plurality on
election day was the choice of the
people, and whether it was
Hoyne, Rinaker, Guinea or
Haight the will of the people
should be honestly recorded and
their choice given the office.
Now is as good a time as any
to go after election thieves in
Chicago; and every honest citi-
zen should help make the fight.

Public Buildings

When the United States government bought a site for the Birmingham postoffice at the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street it did the best thing possible with the comparatively small appropriation $200,000 But all are agreed now that the site is much too small. Rather than have an inadequate postoffice building the public will be satisfied to wait until Congress makes an addi- tional appropriation for a site.
 If the property embracing 150 feet between Eighteenth street and the present site were acquired the gov ernment would then have a full block front on Fifth avenue. Either this ad- ditional property will be bought or the Nineteenth street and Fifth ave- nue site sold and ground of sufficient area in some other block will be ac- quired. Birmingham, on account of it's assured future, must have a postoffice much more spacious than would have been deemed suitable few years ago.
 As with the postoffice question so with the needed new Jefferson county courthouse It will be nearly two years before courthouse bond issue propo- sltion can be voted on. And when the time rolls round the public will have been educated up to much larger ard much more artistic ideas, and there fore a much greater building will be reared than the county would have had had the last bond issue proposition been ratified.
 Jefferson county had in the last census population of 226,000. In 1920 it is reasonable to believe that it will have a population of between 500, ,000 and 600,000. This is an age of large ideas and civic progress. When the county is ready to build a new courthouse it should be of the same class as the new government building.

Drilling for Gas at Jasper

P. M. shannon, an experienced searcher for gas fields, proposes to drill five new wells near Jasper with view to thorough test of the capa- city of the Jasper neighborhood to produce gas. Mir. Shannon will keep at it until he has proven that the gas supply in the Jasper district is of lit tie value or is very great. He has al- ready secured flow sufficient to supply the city of Jasper, and he hopes to secure enough to justify the bu,iding of pipe line to Birming- ham.
 Whether he does or not it is best to find out what the unknown gas re- sources Of Alabama are. Natural gas would promote the growth of this city more than gushing oil wells would, and MT. Shannon is serving all interests when he proposes to solve the problem at point within 30 miles of this city.

tion of constables and other officers to include presidential electors. But it held that the names of the bull moose candidates for electors could not be placed on the official ballot by petition because the highest number of voters enumerated as necessary to nominate by petition was 300 for the election of state officials. The court went on to rule that electors were not state of- ficers, although the supreme court of the United States had said they were not national officers.
 The court seems to have decided in it's own mind to shut the progressives out, arfdkColonel Roosevelt fired at it a characteristic criticism in which he pronounced the decision of the court as "outrageous." So it seems to have been, and when the Capital News printed Colonel Roosevelt's telegram it's publisher and managing editor were cited to answer for contempt of court.
 The matter is pending in the high and mighty court of Idaho. It should be carried, if that be possible, to the United States supreme court in or der that the divine right of judges in this country may be fully defined and published The Idaho case relates to the freedom of speech and the press, and when these get up against the divine right of judges an authoritive decision from a sane tribunal is needed.

culprit to escape than to wound an innocent pedestrian or bystander.
 Many years ago, when Birmingham was cruder than it is today, it was not uncommon for policemens bulless to whiz through the streets, but in the recent years there has been little cause for complaint in this respect. Birmingham's police force is far too small for the protection of life and property, but it is made up as a rule of carefully selected material. The fir ing in the Hotel Hillman neighborhood yesterday naturally caused great ex- citement and brought forth depreca- tory remarks from a number of cit izens.
 Officers of the law-policemen and sheriff's deputies-should cultivate more than ever a habit of coolness. Policemen have many provocations for using their pistols but an invariable rule should be: Keep cool and run no risk of injuring an innocent per- son."

Passing of Republican Party

"We will never have another re- publican administration" said W. w Trailor of Philadelphia.
 q have been voter since 1880 and have always voted the republican tick ct until this year, when I voted for MT. Roosevelt. The national progress sive party has come to stay for many years. The republican party has out lived it's usefulness and unless Fresi- dent-elect Wilson does exceptionally well in the White House and the dem- ocrats in Congress stick together bet ter than has been their wont Roosevelt will win in 1916.
 "The new party made as good a showing in the last campaign as any one could have expected under the circumstances. Thousands of repub- licans will come into the party fout years from now and the progressive popular vote promises to be record breaker"

J. $. B. Thompson

Few railroad officials have come in such close touch with Birmingham and the Birmingham district as J. s. B.. Thompson, whose death occurred in Richmond yesterday after long ill- ness. He had been connected with the Southern railway for many years and as general agent, and later as assist ant to the president with headquarters in Atlanta, he had large responsibili- ties which brought him in contact with the leading men in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. No one appreciated more than he the growing importance of Birmingham as railroad center and as an upbuilder he rendered sig nal service to this section.
 Mr. Thompson was gentleman of engaging personality. He made friends readily and held them and, although he had not been connected with the Southern railway since 1910, he never, for a moment, lost interest in this city. His death will be profoundly mourned and his memory will long be cherished.

DUBLIN BAY

William Watson in Cornhill Magazine. On Dublin Bay, on Dublin Bay. The ships come in and the ships go out The great gulls hover and wheel about The white sails gleam, and shimmer
 away; te And over the heathery heights we stray And watch, through haze of sultry
 drought,
 The ships come in, the ships go out Wonder below us on Dublin Bay. We have heard the clans of Life's mean
 fray,
 Where joyless sounded the victors
 shout,
 And brief as the flash of a leaping
 trout Was Pride that pranced in the summer
 ray; And little we think of the world today. Whether it smile or whether it pout, For the ships come in and the ships go
 out, And wonder below is Dublin Bay. Grief may visit us-who shall say? Time may spite us, and Fortune fiout; Care, with her brood, a ldoleful rout, Care may follow us all the way: But Love is ours, and Love will stay, Love, that knows not shadow of doubt. While the ships come in. while the ships
 go out, Wonder below us on Dublin Bag.
