Only a Tramp.

F, Only tramp, in the glare and heat
I OF the summer sun, in the dusty street
| Only tramp, with dingy pack
| And a threadbare coat on his wear,
back.
| Only a tramp, and soiled and brown,
He made his way through the busy town
Only a tramp. and wealth and pride
Looked, and passed on the other side.
And childhood paused in its merry play
And shrank from the passing form away
only a tramp" the housewife said
As she turned away from his plea fol
bread.
"only "A tramp" but he felt the smar,
OF the haunting words in his human
heart:
And bitterly signing he turned again
To his heartless journey and life of pain
But there where the railroad meets the
street.
Was stayed the tide of passing feet:
And horror pslsied the bravest limb.
And eyes with fruitless tears were dim,
For truant baby boy had strayed
To the railway track, and calmly played
Between the rails with the pebbles white,
Pilng them up in the sweet sunlight;
And the fast express was laundering
down
At fearful speed to the busy town
Fruitless the drivers skill to stay
The flying train on it's headlong way;
Fruitless the shrill alarm to fright
The little one from his pebbles white.
But out from the crossing of the street
Dashes man with flying feet;
Each silent watcher held his breath
In that fearful race for life or death;
TIL the truant babe was safely thrown
Beyond the rails. as the train swept on
The child was safe. but rods away
Bleeding and lifeless the rescuer lay
Only a tramp. but forever new
Is our love of manhood brave and true
And the mother, that night, who fondIy
pressed
The living child to her grateful breast,
VIII ne'er forget. as the seasons roll,
That hunghy tramp. with a heros SOUL

THAT ALIEN LAND BILL.

We heartily in accord with Governor
johnson, of California, in, his endeavor to
bar the Japs from taking land in thst state,
for the reason that they are not citizens and
we go even further and say that it would be
a good move on the part of Uncle Sam to
do likewise and thereby bar all aliens from
taking lands in this country unless become
citizens of this country. 1t undoubtly will
cause war between Uncle Sam and the
Mikado, but these little brown men have
been angling for years and altho' we care to
see the country plunged in war by the mon
ey power. Which factor is always found
behind all wars, we Go want to see these
little brown men get a good druffing and
we believe there is no better time than the
present.

am glad to state to you in writing the

Should the Indian bill be re-opened and
opportunity offered for the introduction OF
amendments to the various items therein,

committee of paragraph providing specif-
cally that in connection with the sale OF
timber on your reservation you should be
fully consulted, both in the matter of rules
and regulations and the matter of final ac-
ceptance of any bid before final action
should be taken. However. as I pointed
out TO you in our oral conference, am sure
that such amendment is not necessary to
fully protect your interests, and that moth
ing would be gained by such an amend
ment if the procedure which / have out
lined above is followed out by the Indian
Office and the Department.

ODANAH WINS FROM LODLES
Boniosh Pitches No-Hit Game Team
Looks Good.

Boniosh Pitches NO-Hft Game Team
Looks Good.
Charles Boniosh, the local southpaw, was
in fine fettle last Sunday and as result was
given credit for pitching no hit game aga
inst the fast Tony Lode team of Ashland
Only an error in judgment, for which Char
les was as much to blame as any one, he
could have had no-hit, no-run game to his
credit. This is not such an easy task when
one stors to consider that this same Lode
team played the Ashland City Team to
vely close score to two weeks ago. The
game was void of much excitement, due to
| the fact that Boniosh struck out IL men
| and did not pass one, which of course did
not give the rest of his team mates much to
do. Zeke Walker was doing the most of
the work outside Of the battery, taking seven
chances with out slip. In the first inning
both sides were retired in order. In the
second inning we got man to third by
means of two stolen bases following an error
at first, but he died there while Bigelow
threw out Young at first. In the third the
fireworks started. After Mahoney had tos-
sed out Newaugon to first, Holmes the
Second walked. On the hit ard run play
Walker hit through third, Holmes stopping
at second. Grant then followed with usu-
al two Dagger scoring Holmes, Walker res
! ting on third, Grant on second. Walker
scored on passed ball, and White scored
Grant with a single. White was forced at
second on Boniosh's rap to Gardner. Bonnie
Prince Charlie then stole second but Pen
mock was out to first unassisted. Dick
Holmes scored in the fourth on an error at
third which let him 60 to second, from
| where he scored while Carlin was throwing
out Newaugon after dropping the third
strike. Dick scored again in the sixth on
his two base hit and single by Young.
The team rs it stacked up Sunday is about
the way Manager Mac expects to play them
this summer. If this combination gets 60
ing they ought to make the most of the
teams around this circuit hustle. This,
of course, does not mean that the balance
of the players will not have chance to play
ball. 1t is the managers idea to have the
rest of the players put into another team
and given games enough to keep them in
condition, so that when one of them is
needed to fill out with on the first team,
they will be in shape to play. This second
squad will be put in charge of John Ander-
son, under the direction of Mac. Next
Sunday the regulars will play Bessemer on
the local lot and this should be a great
game Bessemer has picked up a fast
bunch of players this year and are coming
here looking for revenge. Before closing
we must pass on the work of Mr.. Lubien
as umpire. He was great surprise to the
people and every one was very well satisfied
even the visiting team which is hard thing
to do. When an umpire satisfies both
teams, he must be all right. We are in
formed that Mr.. Lubien will be asked to
umpire all the remaining games at home
this summer, and here is hoping he will
accept. The score is as follows:

lie put me in such a state of duress to
the truth, that the only way + saw out
was to fegn madness and abuse Atlanta
for its conceit, We were talking about
this very subject of music; and lie asked
to be shown anything Birmingham had
done for promoting its musical life, or
making it city which those with musical

community to this situation so sorely in

But what a big job 7 have proposed! !!
Our people for the most part must be ed
ucated to appreciate music of an artistic
Sort and its worthfulness to life. This
is to some extent already being done, and
many of our people are sufficiently ad-
vanced to appreciate the hand organ, the
graphopohne etc, while some few have
advanced yet further and want artistic
music technically SO called even If they
have to go to Atlanta and New York 10

city, and we ought to be about it. We
must get some great musical center
around which our musical life may be or
ganized. A great auditorium, with other
apartments needed, is as necessary for the
development of the musical life of our city
dS the courthouse Is 10 tue legal, lIe
hospital to the medical. the church to the
religious. Let us, either in East park or
West park build a great auditorium,
where the thousands can gather to enjoy
music in grand opera, or other forms Of
musical education and edification. Such
an auditorium could be made to pay for
itself in few years out of it's rentals
and become to the city what the stadium
was to the great cultured Greek cities of
old.
But if it is not feasible to build the au-
ditorium to be owned and operated direct

public schools. it is feasible to do so

of our colleges and other semi-public con-

a big debt of gratitude to our musicians.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Music in the Making of a Cit,

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Birmingham is city in the making.
It's vigorous young life | some of it's chief
charms. We invite the world to see us
grow. It is good to be living where things
are coming to pass A city has such a
manifold and complex life, so many sided.
so varied and rich to those who share It's
lot. Hither comes the lawyer, the doctor.
the preacher the merchant. the banker.
every line of life; for 1t gives to the social
servant the largest opportunity.
But to realize on this larger opportuni-
ty of the city. these professions must be
organized for developing the talent which
is latent i'm those who for the time being
are giving themselves to their service,
must be correlated with the other lines
of life in the community and to that OF
the city as whole, and those served by
these professions should be brought into
proper appreciation of their value and
taught how to get their service.
| Every line of professional life has made
great progress in thus socializing itself;
but that of music is farthest behind. We
are in sore need of profession of music
in our city: for it has long since outgrown
the stage when amateur or seni-amateur
music will suffice. In towns and small
cities the amateur and semi-amateur suf-
flee for the musical needs of the CON-
munity but it cannot do SO in city that
is a metropolis. The time has come for
us to inaugurate a movement for fostering
the profession of music among us, SO
that we can take our place besides other
cities of our size in this important line Of
life. 1t will take many years and much
intelligent effort to accomplish this end
for one can but see that Birmingham at
its present stage of education would much
prefer a potlatch parade to the grand
opera.
An Albanian just the other day said to
me- "While Birmingham has probably as
many people as Atlanta, Atlanta has
more people of culture and education than

one, however, which contains in 1t the
seed of nervousness and 1t is being

eency which could possibly arise 1t

for Wall street to accept this estimate,
but as to the final outcome there is
only one view to take.
1t may take some little time for the
street and the public to understand the
exact situation and to become dis
abused of uncertainty or doubts. Mat
ters are working out, however, and in
the proper course of events equanim-
ity will be restored among those who
they must have before becoming fully
reconciled to the inevitable. The read
justment of great affairs is q process
which takes time and patience.
Railroad Rates
There is reason to believe that the
interstate commerce commission will
give friendly hearing to the petition
or the eastern railroads for permission
To increase freight rates east of the
Mississippi per cent This may not
rlean that the commission will grant
the demands of the railroads but that
the question will be reopened and
friendly face turned to the petitioners.
1t has been three years Low since the
commission turned down a somewha
similar application. These three years
have been full of rich experience in the
actual work of trying to perform a
task almost impossible of accomplish

traffic Of the country and do it sat-

OF money The railroads in the terri
tory which will be directly affected
by any action which the commission II
hlEht take are paying out annually a
sum considerably larger than that
which would be realized from a point
sovance IN rates. To the impartial stu
cent IL would seem that the demands
OF the railroads are within the bounds
OF reason and that they will be sup
ported by abundant statistical data to
make good the claims for a more Ito
eral treatment at the hands of the
commission. 1t has been stated by ex-
perts who are familiar with the sub
ject that the advance which is ask ed
for will be .tantamount to about $40,-
100000 additional annual revenue. 1t is
also said that many railroads were
strongly in favor OF asking for a 10
rer cent rise and yielded with great
reluctance to the more moderate terms
finally agreed upon. The issue will be
brought before the commissioners
within very short time, it Is under
stood.
