From lie Cri de Paris.
Anatole France gives to all young poets
the sweet wine of encouragement Mas
ter" one of them asked him, "have you
read my poems that 1 brought to you
last Sunday?"
Yes, truly, 1 read them. began read
ing them one evening, and / could not
close an eye until | had ended them"
"oh, master you are making sport of
me; you have not read tf1em,"
"Incredulous youth You wish a proof?
shall indicate to you the most beautiful
page in your book 1t is Page s4. Is it
not there that you have placed the best
of your soul? Admirable page! Will you
say again that I have not read your
poems?"
Master, beg your pardon. 1 am truly
confused. Thanks, thanks!' And he
went away, intoxicated with pride.
After he had gone some one said to the
author of "Thais:" Master. have you
read his volume?"
What do you think? Eth. Very well,
have not read it,
How was it, then, that you called Page
81 the best of the volume?'
Simple minded man. 1t was of no i'm
portance what page / cited. A poet al
ways considers each one of his poems the
best of ALL"
And if that had CHANGED to be a blank
page, master?''

Preparing to Haul Big Crops

Early crop reports are satisfactory
Those that come from the winter
wheat seit indicate a new high record
crop.
In most of the southern states the
growing cotton is in excellent condi-
ton. Just how much harm the boil
weevil will do cannot be foretold, but
in spite of the weevil there will prob
ably be crop nearly as large as the
record breaking crop of two years
ago.
In view, of the fine crop situation
the railroads are preparing to haul
the greatest volume of traffic this
year that they have ever been called
upon to handle. If the crop reports
continue to be favorable in June pros
perity talk will be heard from one end
of the United States to the other.
The Birmingham district has been
enjoying great prosperity for some
time past, but new high records will
be in order when the entire country
is booming.

Characteristic Inconsistencies

The Washington Times-official
organ for the bull moose party-is
throwing a fit a minute over what
it pleases to term "steam roller
methods" employed by the majority
in the passage of the tariff bill
through the House.
1t points with pride to the fact
that the progressive party and the
republican party have done away
with the secret caucus in the House
1t deplores the methods of the demo-
Gratis in "jamming" the tariff bill
through Congress, and then enters
into a caustic criticism of the bill.
Is the Time-wise as it is-better
informed on the tariff than the party
it SO ably advocates and proclaims as
the real champion of the people? That
party stands self-convicted as being
ignorent of and incompetent to han
die the subject of tariff. 1t favors the
appointment of "a scientific tariff
board" 1t would take from Congress
the power to frame tariff law, ex-
cept as recommended by its board of
experts. 1t processes to be the de-
fender of the peoples rights, and yet
seeks to take them away. 1t wishes to
place the making of our laws into
the hands of a monopoly as it's dis
tinguished leader placed almost
everything else during his seven and
a half years as. President of the
United States.
When did the republican party be-
come converted to the open caucus
Only when it had absolutely nothing
to caucus about. The same might be
said of the hybrid party for which
the Times processes to speak.
Why should the tariff legislation
be delayed? There is no earthly use
for it. The issue was settled IN No
vember, and there is nothing for Con-
gress to do but to put into effect the
verdict of the people. We have had
tariff talk enough, what the country
demands lis action.
Mr.. Underwood is perfectly justi-
fable in not brooking delays IN the
House. As it is, we must stand for
six to eight weeks more Of tariff talk
in the Senate. Gag rule" and the
"steam roller" have not and will not
be employed. But the demagogue is
the first to use these terms, when he
seeks to arrest the wheels of prog

Inadequate School Facilities

Attention is again called to the un-
safe condition of some of the school
buildings in Birmingham. President
John l.. Parker of the board of edu-
cation and Superintendent J. H. Phil
lips with Commissioner Weatherly
and Commissioner Lane have been
making special Investigations of
school conditions this week. Mr..
Parker stated yesterday that some of
the buildings were not only made
quate, but nothing less than alarm
ing" In view of the bad conditions
of certain schools the public should
become aroused and insist that the
city do something to make insecure
buildings safe.
Birmingham is growing rapidly and
its rate of increase should be greater
year by year. Northern men of fam
lily who think of making Birmingham

Postmasters and Civil Service

The President has agreed with
Postmaster General Burleson that all
fourth class postmasters "now in Of
flee or candidates for prospective ap-
pointments should be subjected to
competitive examinations" An execu-
tive~order to that effect will be issued
soon.
This is just solution of the prob
lem which come up as result of
President Taft's extension of the civil
service to all fourth class postmasters
which had not already been trans
ferred to the classified service. No
one should be allowed to serve as
postmaster even in a small country
office unless he measures up to GER
tain mental as well as moral require
ments. His fitness should be tested.
The Postmaster General intimates
that he and the President will take
into the classified service, probably
during the next year, all postmasters
of the second and third class" Such
action would be most reasonable, but
can it be done without an act of Con-
kress? Such policy would certainly
require an act of Congress unless the
President during his term refused to
send nomination to the Senate for
I second or third class postoffice
unless the applicant had stood an ex-
. animation. All presidential appoint
sments that have to be submitted to
the Senate could not be in the civil

Hhess passed such measure.

The third class postmasters are
those whose salaries range from
$1,000 to $1,000, and the second class
postmasters are those with salaries
ranging from $4,000 to $1,000. First
class postmasters receive from $4,000
to $4,000. Two postmasters receive
$4,000 by special act of Congress
those of New York and Chicago. Bir-
mingham's postmaster has been re-
ceiving $4,000, but beginning the first
of July his salary will be $4,000. At
the rate of increase in the revenue of
the local postoffice the salary will
within the next two or three years
reach $4,000.
There are today nearly 5000 presi-
dentials postmasters. About 1000 are
made up of the second and third class
while less than 1000 come under the
head of first class. But if the admin
istration could be relieved of making
1000 appointments during the term
much would be gained in the economy

Suffragettes' Defeat

In the United States the woman
suffragist movement has made
marked progress. Not only have the
women in nine states the right to note
in all elections, but there will be prob
ably equal suffrage in several more
states in the not distant future.
The suffragist cause has been well
led in this country. There has been
practically no effort on the part OF
even the advanced reformers to start
IN revolution. Militantism has never
been in vogue among the women on
this side of the Atlantic and it is safe
to say that it never will be- The
movement is along the line of evolu-
ton instead of revolution.
In England the female agitator has
been a reyolutionist-a militant per-
son of the most dangerous sort, and,
as might have been expected, the Brit
ish suffragettes by their incendiary
methods have defeated their object.
The women of England have not been
inhumanly treated, yet they raised as
much violent clamor as if they were.
They are allowed the use of the bal
lot affecting certain local community
matters, but they are demanding the
ballot in parliamentary elections.
Militantism has stopped at nothing
short of murder. Not satisfied with
agson they recently tried the nitro
glyS erin bomb for the destruction of
30 erty Mrs. Pankhurst and her as
san ties had been threatening for
aons etime to do Something awful,'
put it would be difficult for them to
be more lawful" than they have been
already.
With the help of the Irish members
the suffragette bill in the House of
Commons was defeated yesterday by
a majority of AT. This 6efeat has
had the effect of infuriating the mill
tants. They seem to be bent more
th&n ever upon destructive tactics.
Had the English women taken les
~a6ns from their American cousins
they might today be on the road to
equal suffrage. They would at least
be respected. AS it is their cause is
doubtless thrown back for long years.
The militants should be heard of no
more in this generation at any rate.

sDrennen Loses to Major Tutwiler

Among the pleasantries indulged ID
this week is one over the golf contest
between Mack Drennen and Major Tut
wiler,'' said a club man.
by invitation Mr. Drennen and Ma
jor Tutwiler went recently together, to
visit a charity institution where in
fants are cared for. one of the gen.
tlemen, when he. observed that the faqe
of one of the little sufferers was Gov
cred with flies, remarked to the good
lady in charge that the house should
be screened. Yes said the attendant,
1T should be screened and the only
reason 1t Is not is because we haven't
the money to buy the screens Where
upon Drennen proposed to Major Tut
wiler that they play game of golf
and that the loser should supply the
money to buy screens.
Mack. is one of the best golfers
here. He is proud of his reputation
and he felt that lie would be an easy
winner. The game was played but in
stead of winning Drennen lost to Major
)futwiler. of course, there was a good
chuckle over it. A most worthy in
stitution will certainly be all the bet
ter off for that golf game"

Much Needed Building

1t Is hoped that as soon as the tariff
Bill is out of the way Mr.. Underwood
Will be able to get after the treasury
department and have it do something
in the way of expediting start on
our mush needed postoffice building"
said citizen.
Mr.. Underwood did an important
thing when he got the $1,000,000 appro-
priation but the officials of the treas
ury department seeem to be going slow.
The site at the northwest corner of
Ninteenth street and Fifth avenue was
purchased by the government prior to
the s1,OoO,000 appropriation. The rest
OF the half block cornering on Eigh-
teenth street should be acquired and
ground should be broken within the
present year.
The government builds well when it
does build and it is never in very big
hurry, but construction work on the
new postoffice should be underway as
soon as possible"

A New YOrker,a Visit

enthusiastic in his praise Of the wonder

makes it clear to his mind that Birming-
ham is destined to be not only the Pitts
burg of the south. but the "Pittsburg'
of America.
Mr.. Vosslers visit is significant be-
cause of the fact that he represents the
largest manufacturers of musical instru-
ments in the world. controlling more than
dozen large manufacturing plants in

England, scattering their products to the
