Good News for Birmingham

The Age-Herald this morning prints
the official announcement of Chair
man E. H. Gary of the United States
Steel corporation that work is to be
resumed on the big wire mill at Fair
field. While this news had been ex-
pected for several weeks, the formal
statement will be gratifying to thous-
ands of people in this district.
Birmingham feels that it has long
since passed the point where its pros
perity is dependent upon any one in
dustrial operation, but the idleness of
plant of the magnitude of the wire
mill at Fairfield has naturally been a
depressing factor.
ItiC dCLlOll III Jflc IlIlduCt COfIlIIllt-
tee of the Steel corporation yesterday
in ordering work on the mill to be
resumed is renewed evidence of con-
fidence in this district. 1t indicates a
gratifying attitude toward the future
much broader than the resumption of
work on a single mill.
To the minds of the people of Bir-
mingham, Ensley and particularly
Fairfield, it gives buoyancy
which is sure to be stimulat-
ing to every line of endeavor. They
will naturally infer that plant rep
resenting an investment of millions
would not have been shut down with
out reason and furthermore that re.
sumption would have been ordered
only after the removal of all appre-
hension.

cause for rejoicing this morning and
this rejoicing will undoubtedly mani.

confidence which will be felt even be.

In RuENOs AIRES.

From THE South American Travels of
William D., Boyce," by Hallam Winter,
in National Magazine for May.
In Argentina Mr.. Royce felt at home,
for the city of Buenos Aires reminded
him of his own breezy Chicago. Here
was city that had the beauty and
charm of Paris, with buildings of from
ten to thirteen stories, and magnificent
strects-and prices that made an Amer
ican stagger. Thirty dollars a day was
the rate for three rooms and a bath
in Buenos Aires hostery, and in tho
shops the same exorb.tant prices prevail.
A hat costing five collars in the United
States sells for seventeen in Buenos Aires,
but then, confesses the author, they seem
to have mora currency to buy with In Ar
gentina's capital The oldest paper in
Argentina is printed IN English and
known as the Buenos Aires Standard.

public, which in many years resembles

ments that. as in all the harbors of the
world, he never finds American ships or
an American flag-and wonders why His
experiences with the members of the Ar
gentine congress indicate a keen desire
on the part of the great republic Of
the south to learn progressive ideas from
it's big brother to the north. The gov
ernment owns large tracts of irrigated
lands and more miles of railroad IN
proportion to population than the United
States. Mr.. Boycss studies of radical
types and the cosmopolitan population
of the cities and on the ranches owned
by former President Julio Roca suggests
great developments not unlikely to oc-
cur during the present century. Tho

Death of Henry M. Flagler

The death of Henry M. Flagler at
the age of 83 was not. unexpected. He
had lived to gather a great fortune
which he freely spent without wasting
it in Florida. He really made the east
coast of that state habitable and de-
sirable, and this is true all the way
from Jacksonville to Key West, dis
tance of over 500 miles. He has turned
this vast stretch of territory into a
winter resort in the first place, and
IN time it will become very productive
in early fruits and vegetables.
Few men have builded better or
more wisely. To few men has come
the task of improving such long
shore line, and even if Kew West
does not become great port the good
done to Florida will remain.
The great capitalist and railroad
magnate is to be laid to rest in St
Augustine, near the greatest single
work of his busy life. He lived to see
his plans accomplished and his valua-
bic life rounded out.

Mammoth Celebration in Mobile

Tn connection with the meeting of
fhe Southern Commercial congress IN
Mobile and the opening of the Panama
canal Mobile proposes to hold man.
moth celebration next fall to which
every governor in the United States
will be invited. To each of the AZ
governors will be assigned handsome
home on Government street, and these
homes will be their official residence
during the three days session of the
commercial congress.
Birmingham is deeply interested in
this celebration, for Mobile is Blr-
mingham's doorway to the sea, and
whatever it accomplishes will prove
helpful to Birmingham. We should
therefore get behind Mobile and do
our utmost to make its proposed cele-
bration a great success. Our CONNER
cial organizations should take hold of
this matter and every possible step
should be taken to render it an event
in the history of the state, and one
worthy of the canal whose opening it
will commemorate.

More Schools Needed

The school buildings of the city can
be put in repair for occupation next
fall for the sum of $35, 900. This is the
sum named by Building Inspector
Mathews, and his recommendation
will no doubt be accepted and ratified
by the city commission.
But when the problem arises as to
the fuller needs of the great city in
school buildings, a vast deal of
courage on the part Of our people
will be called for. Mr.. Mathews says
new buildings are needed that would
cost $1,41O, 900. This would involve a
bond issue.
Expensive as this would be this city
surely will not deny to its children a
public school education. To deny them
this much would be more expensive
than to erect the buildings now needed
In various parts of the city. No prob
lem before the city calls for more
courage than this one, and it should
be met within the next two years.
These schools cannot be built before
the beginning of the fall term, and
the city commissioners will no doubt
consider the subject patiently and
carefully.
The school census and the school
accommodation are far apart and the
two can be brought in harmony by
building new schoolhouses. There is
no other way to solve the issue-no
other way to solve the problem. The
entire question should be solved brave
ly, unselfishly and in the spirit of the
highest patriotism, for the boys of to-
day will be the rulers of the land in
the soon-coming years.

No Need for City Primary

"rhe more l look into the situation
the less need 1 see for primary or the
city democratic executive committee
said prominent business man.
There can be no possible use in
holding a democratic primary unless
for the purpose of perpetuating the
democratic party having charge of the
city government. AS to the proposition
of submitting other questions of more
or less doubtful interest to the people
fail to see how fair expression
could be had in party primary.
Judging from the meeting last Mon
day night it is nothing more or less
than a question as to who shall hold
the reins, or in other words whether
political bossism shall return. For my
part I re-echo the word of a prominent
attorney who in an article published a
short time ago said, Sleep on city

fore slightly more public, than 1t used
to be. Perhaps 1t pays its debts by a
slightly more indiscriminate hospitality
than was common 30 or 40 years ago.
But fundamentally 1t is Just the same as
ever and just as really insignificant AS
for the responsibility of Americans for

few American women have Joined it, and
have led it, as they lead everything else,
by virtue of a superior ceverness, In
genuity, and liveliness. Even a set where
amusement is the thing most sought after,
and you may be sure that an American
will be more fertile in devislng ways

a milieu where freedom of speech and
conduct is the mode, her audacites Will

is naturally fast, she will increase it
by the intrusion of her keener. moro

sonality. She cannot help herself. Her

rather. all that the very few Americans
who have Joined it have DONE is to make
it more inventive, more amusing, more
daringly grotesque. London, after all,
was not precisely the home of a bucolic
society even before the American in
vasion. They did not go to bed at 10
o'clock or faint at the sight of pack
of cards. Even If no Americans had ever
landed in London, the Smart Set would
have been just as foolish. but consider
ably more humdrum and lacking that
dash of piquancy which Americans can
not help throwing even into their widest
pleasurings.

WHERE DO THE WATCHES cor

From the New York Evening Mail.
What becomes of the watches? The
average man does not buy more than
about two or three watches in the
course of his whole life, and yet the
manufacturers keep on making new
watches by the hundred thousands.
Who buys them all?
No statistics can answer the Ques-
tion. What becomes of the old
watches? What did you do with the one
you discarded when you got your pres
ent watch? Where is it now? 1t was a
silver watch and it kept good time for
years-that old watch, that predeces-
sor of the gold one that you now pos
sess. You had strong affection for 1t.
You called it She" and sometimes, in
the solitude of your room, you NAV
have caught yourself saying a word
or two to it aloud. The watch certainly
talked to you In the middle of the
night; Heine's watch corrugated He
brew by the hour. The old watch had a
kind of ringing tick like a riveting
machine, and you could hear 1t clear
through the pillow. 1t has sung you To
sleep more than once. But let's see
what in Heavens name became of it?

is an air of prosperity about the city

ours to me that work Is more plentiful

any place 1 have visited during the
past few months. y
II understand from the papers that
a strike of the builders trades has been
declared and that work has been sus-
pended on the several large buildings
now in course of construction. l am
not familiar enough with the situation

demerits of the strike, but l hope that
the matter will soon be amicably ad-
justed so that the name and fame OF

The Japanese in California

Il spent IA years in California and
thoroughly sympathise with the anti
alien land bill of that state, over which
there has been such a fuss lately
said c. e. Miner, one of Birmingham s
we'll known druggists. yesterday.
"The Jap is a thoroughly undesirable
citizen, that is I mean the average Jap
who locates in California. They are
shiftless, dishonest and the most i'm
moral people on the face of the globe.
The Japanese problem in California to
all intents and purposes Is almost iden-
tical with the negro problem here and
in some particulars the Jap Is a worse
citizen than the average negro. I know
what I'm talking about for I lived
among them and saw things with my
own eyes.
'Tn the first place the Jap is a
heathern. Go back but few years in
their history and you'll find they were
eating each other at a time when we
were highly civilized nation. They
are developing, but slowly and they
are still far from being our equal on
any basis. All remember the recent
newspaper accounts when one of the
most important officials in the ma
tion and his wife killed themselves
because their Emperor had died. All
such things are heather customs that
the Jap has never gotten away from.
Think of such an educated and exalted
official and his wife acting like that
and then imagine what are the ignor-
ant and poorly educated Japs that come
to California.
"All anyone needs in order to sympa-
thise with California is go there. SINH
lar laws were passed some time ago
against the Chinese and no trouble ever
came of it. There were protests and
such talk as we hear now about the
Japs, but it amounted to nothing, and I
think it will be the same way with the
anti Jap legislation"

Governor Sulzer's Challenge

The New York World publishes the
challenge of Governor Sulzer to Muir
ply and Barnes. 1t is uncompromising
and stern and the state will have to
choose between the governor and the
bosses by the time the legislature
meets in extra session on June 16.
The democratic party of New York
stands pledged to statewide direct
primary in the plainest of terms, and
yet Boss Murphy did not hesitate to
procure its defeat at the regular ses-
sion. The republican party of New
York is committed by primary sys-
tenn in almost equally strong terms,
but Boss Barnes and Boss Murphy
joined hands and succeeded in defeat
ing the Sulzer bill, which was simply
"an honest, sincere and practical
measure in line with the promises
made to the people in the democratic
platform"
Governor Sulzer has taken an ap-
peal as preliminary to the meeting
Of the legislature on June 16. He talks
to Bosses Barnes and Murphy in the
plainest manner. He says they fear
direct primaries because their politi-
cal character, their ability, their men,
fality and their political honesty can
not stand the searchlight Of publicity

ODDITIES OF INDIAN MARRIAGE
From the Wide World Magazine

L ioii tiio Niue w Orld Magazine.
The institution of early marriage and
perpetual widowhood in India, coupled
with the fact that widowers, no matter
what their age may be, even though one
foot may be in the grave possess an ir-
resistible desire to marry, produces a
rather chaotic matrimonial condition.
Bridegrooms may be young or old. ut
brides are invariably immature. Thus
it frequently happens that mere infants
are tied down to aged men. For example
in 1912 man of 70 residing in Sock. a
village in the Punjab, married a girl of 7:
and in February of the same year a well
known attorney at law of Dacca, In Ben.
