He cites the case of a thirteen-year-

Roses From italy.

The rose, so long considered the
floral emblem of England, was not
known in that country until the early
part of the fifteenth century. Rose
trees were then brought from Italy
and planted In the royal gardens.
They were sent as presents from the
holy father and highly esteemed by
royalty. 1t became the custom to
carve them over the doors of the con-
fessional as holy flowers. hence the
term sub rosa (under the rose) used

Custom of a Century Upset

When the resolution calling for a
foint session to hear the President in
person read his tariff message came
before the Senate the old guard was
shocked. Vice President Marshall
ruled that it was resolution of the
highest privilege, and would be con-
sidered without unanimous consent.
No appeal was taken from his de-
cision. Senators Lodge and Smoot
expressed the sentiments of the old
guard, concerning it, and Seniors
Williams and Stone, although demo-
Gratis, were inclined to be critical. The
subject was discussed for about an
hour by a dozen senator's, but in the
end all opposition to the resolution
was withdrawn and it was passed
without dissenting vote.
At the outset Senator Lodge was
inclined to insist that it involved a
reply by the Senate and House to be
made in a return visit to the White

Free Food and Clothes

Chairman Underwood laid before
the House on Monday the democratic
revision bill. He explained it, too, in a
speech full of tariff information. The
bill will soon be formally laid before
Congress for final action, and then
the standpatters and all those sena-
tors and representatives who regard
the tariff as local issue instead of
burdensome general tax law will
get busy and try to amend it. There
will not be much amending done in
the House, but in the Senate anything
contrary to public sentiment is pos
sible.
1t is not too much to say that the
new bill will be judged by consumers
by what it does to bring down the
cost of living. In this respect the bill
offers important changes. Free wool
means cheaper clothing, and in 1916
it is proposed to bring in free sugar.
Meats and bread and boots and shoes
are to be brought in free and so are
perhaps hundred other articles.
Eggs are, it is true, to bear a duty of
2 cents dozen, and cattle on the
hoof and dutiable. The Canadian
border perhaps offers an explanation
of these rates AS rule, however,
the free list is all that could reasona-
bly, be expected.
Beyond the free list an effort is
made all along the line to weed out
the element of. monopoly or graft in
the present Aldrich-Payne tariff. Mr..
Underwood explains at length what
he has endeavored to accomplish, and
when the tariff debate is begun it will
no doubt become clearer how well he
has striven to present sane and hon.
est tariff revision bill.

Brilliant Musical season

"Come to think of it, Birmingham is
having an unusually brilliant musical
season., said man who has taken a
prominent part in musical affairs here
during the past Is years.
II used to hear a good deal about
Atlanta's musical taste and musical en-
terprise. but since that city has had
grand opera-this is the third season
[ believe-other musical attractions are
conspicuous by their absence. The
opera is a great thing and Atlanta de-
serves credit for having a week of it
every spring, but it ought not to kill
off other musical endeavor, for after all
opera has a great deal of the show
side to 1t and is less educative than
other forms of musical art. Nowadays
Atlanta has no symphony concerts, no
chamber concerts and no high class re-
citals. Ysaye, the greatest violinist in
the world. was booked for two or
three towns in Georgia but Atlanta
could not afford him.
"In Birmingham we have had this
season more fine music than, in any
previous season. Among the artists
who have appeared here thus far are
the Pasmore trio, Zimbalist. the Flon-
zaley quartet-the greatest string
quartet in the world, Scharwenka. Tina
Lerner, Godowsky and Ysaye. On the
fifth and sixth of May we are to have
