Generous Giving

The people of Birmingham have al
ways been quick to respond to appeals
in behalf of suffering humanity. Even
in the early struggling days when one
thought or heard little of public spirit,
relief funds were often needed and
the money was always forthcoming
from individual subscriptions.
Within the past few years Birming-
ham has been able to do large things
in a large way. Money can now be
raised easily, not only for eleemosy-
nary institutions and the relief of vic
Tins of disaster, but for civic organi-
cations and associations doing uplift-
ing and social service.
The churches, of priceless value to
every community, are built and main
tanned by members of the various de-
nominations, but those institutions
having a religious element but more
varied IN scope than the church have
the sympathy and support of right
minded men and women regardless of
sect or creed.
The Young Women's Christian as
sociation is one of these institutions
Of exceptionally wide and strong ap-
peal and the canvass to raise $25, 200
for the association in Birmingham will
be successful; this as a matter of
course. But now since Birmingham is
used to contributing to good causes
on large scale the entire amount
asked for should be subscribed before
the end of the present week.

Schools of Journalism

The University of Alabama pro-
poses to establish a school for news
paper men, sometimes called school
for journalism. The University of
Missouri has such school, and no
other college in the old south has one.
This seems to afford room for one in
the university at Tuscaloosa.
All such schools have to face a
common difficulty, namely, none of
them can create in student, how
ever willing and eager, a nose for
news. If a psychological test could be
applied so that only those who are
thus equipped would gain admission,
all might be well. To take Tom, Dick
and Harry as they apply would never
lead to good results, and yet no known
test of the nature named exists.
The student who lacks the desired
qualification cannot acquire it in any
school that was ever founded, no
matter how large its endowment may
be. And this fact deserves considera-
tion at Tuscaloosa. Newspaper men
are rarely poets, but they are like
poets in one respectfully are born,
and are never made to order.

FIRES TERRIBLE TOLL
From Leslie's.

FROM Leslie
Our cities may spend millions of dollars
creating efficient fire departments
equipped with every modern device for
fighting fires, but IL nothing is done to ed
ucate the public in simple means of fire
prevention, fires will go on increasing.
Take New York city as an example.
Every day one human life and $4,000
worth of property are destroyed here by
fire This means an annual loss of S65
lives and 3500,000 worth of property. Ex-
perts have found on investigation that
65 per cent of these fires are of the easily
preventable type. For the purpose of
calling the attention of the public to the
seemingly unimportant trifles which
are the actual causes of the majority of
fires" a committee of safety has been
organized in New York, voluntary or
ganization of citizens. Its safety code
for the home contains the following rec
concentrations:
Blow out matches before throwing them
away.
Keep rubbish cleared out.
Keep fire escapes free from every OBJ
struction.
or any inflammable fluids in the house.
Guard gas jets from contact with win
dow curtains.
Fill and clean lamps only in daytime.
These recommendations are given for
factories and workrooms:
Forbid smoking in the workrooms.
Clear out rubbish and clippings every
day from workrooms, Railways and base
ments.
Do not keep benzine. naphtha, gasoline.
alcohol turpentine, paint or varnish, ex-
cept in safety cans as required by law.
Keep gas jets guarded by wire cage, SO
that materials may not touch the flame.
For the saving of human life in case OF
fire. these recommendations are made:
Organize fire drill among the work.
men and women.
Keen passages clear to all exits, doors,
stairs and fire escapes
Keep all doors leading to exits un-
locked.
Keep halls and stairways lighted while
workers are in the building.
Keep fire escapes free from every OBJ
struction.
Do not allow machinery or merchandise
to block the aisles

THE DEAD MARCH OF THE WATERS

skies begin to darken,
And the eager flames ascending. seem
to floutC the tempest's din.
Swells. mysterious and mournful, over all
a surging - hearken.
'Tis the Dead March of the Waters > =
and the tide is creeping in.
Near the headland. where the she-oaks
swing their melancholy tresses.
And the ti-tree turns to twilight all the
sultry glare of noon.
Where the wrack in cln-ing clusters
every basalt crag caresses
Broods in solitary silence, Desolation
Point lagoon.
There, when youths brief course grows
sluggish, and its lures have given
over,
Are the merry mountain waters to the
bitter ocean wed,
And the tides roll heavy laden with the
cages of a lover,
And in secrecy and sorrow doth the
sea give up its dead.
Evermore from furthest ocean drift wan
garlands to that wooing;
Stiff and twisted, bruised and broken,
are they cast upon the strand
On each face a pallid calmness, half
smile at its undoing,
Half shattered hope of rescue and
a clenching at the hand
Though-I'm ageing to that music, l shall
never cease to fear it;
Still draw up to the fireside, happy
but to be within.
Think it foolish? - Listens
there now that low moan
ing. Can you hear it?

The Seventeenth Amendment

The seventeenth amendment au-
tborizino the direct election Of United
states senators is coming along
swimmingly. These states have raul
fled it: Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio,
Iowa and Michigan, in the middle
west: California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Arr
zona. New Mexico and Texas in the
far west; West Virginia, North Caro-
lima. New York and Massachusetts In
The east. To these 18 states will TINS
week be added New Jersey and Wis
consin. The house in the former has
ratified the amendment, and the SEN
ate in the latter.
Utah, governed by a hierarchy,
alone has rejected the amendment. 1t
has been stated that Georgia also re-
iected it. This is not true. The Geor-
gia legislature did not act on the
amendment owing to misrepresenta-
tions concerning it. 1t was stated that
il placed all senatorial elections in the
hands of the federal government,
when as a matter of fact it does not
contain word on that subject. Sec
tion of the constitution stands just
as it did when it was adopted in l79o.
The federal government did interfere
with senatorial elections in the crazy
reconstruction period, but it never
had before and it is safe to say 1t
never will again. The amendment re-
lates to changes in section 3, and not
at all to section A, which is the sec
ton that relates to federal control.
Erroneous statements were published
in Georgia, and when the Georgia leg
islature meets next summer 1T will no
doubt fall in line with the movement
that has for its object the reform OF
the upper house of Congress. Utah
should be permitted to stand alone.
1t is believed that fully 25 states
will ratify the amendment this year,
and another year may add II more.
Thirty-six states must ratify it to
make it a part of the federal consti-
tution

Stag Pile Problems

Government is said to be b series
of compromises, and this is true in
local as well as in general govern
ment. The city commission has come
to compromise in the Sloss city fur
mace controversy, and it becomes a
question whether it would not be bet
ter to negotiate out the smoking coke
ovens in First avenue and afterwards
compel the railroads to build a via
duct, and then wait awhile for the
rest.
"A viaduct in First avenue and the
removal of the coke ovens would in
deed be a great gain. In a few more
years perhaps the company may be
willing to consolidate its furnaces in
this county and to remove the famous
Stag pile.
Rome was not built in a day, and
the district about the city furnace
cannot be reconstructed in a single
swoop. Not a few in the easterly end
of the city would say that the re-
moval of the coke ovens and the erec-
ton of viaduct would be a happy
compromise for the time being with
out reference to a comprehensive pro-
gramme in the future.

Advocates wider sIdevallxs

The sidewalks in the business district
should be widened." said ]. Rivers Carter,
former postmaster and at one time city
engineer. Wider sidewalks are especially
needed In thoroughfares that are crowd
ed every day with pedestrians. Take
Third avenue as an example The side
walks are so congested frequently that
1t Is difficult for one to push through the
crowds. The avenue is 100 feet wide and
each sidewalk is Is feet wide If the
payements were widened two OF three feet
it would help very materially and there
would still be left ample road bed for
street cars and automobiles.
Chicago found it necessary to widen
its sidewalks and Birmingham should pur-
sue the same policy"

One of the Builders

The Traders National bank in its inter-
esting series entitled, Builders of Bir-
mingham," issued monthly in connection
with calendar, has for its subject this
month William II. Kettig, one of the best
known and most highly esteemed men in
this part of the country.
''William Henry Kettig was born on
August 6. 1868. in Louisville. KY, and re-
ceived his education in the public schools
of that city and at Brunswick Germany,
where he spent two years in study" says
the editor of the series. 'In 1880 he start
ed his business career as office boy for
the Ahrens & OFT Manufacturing company
of Louisville. His ability and close atten-
ton to duty brought rapid promotion,
and he held an important position when
he resigned to move to Birmingham in
1886. In that year, with Maj. w. j. Mil
ner. he organized the Miner & Kettig
company and became its president. This
company commenced operations with a
small capital, but, due to capable and
vigorous management, the business was
gradually extended until it became the
largest of the kind in the south.
IN lN0 tue Miner ~ feltlS company
was absorbed by the Crane company Of
Chicago, Mr.. Kettig being retained as To-
cal manager. AT present he is southern
manager of this corporation, having
charge of their vast business in Birmng-
ham, Atlanta and Knoxville.
''Mr. Kettig has been prominent in pub
lie life for a number of years. He is a

skISMETi.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Many believe that a man dies when his
time comes and that until then nothing
can kill him. 1t does look that way
sometimes.
The last car of a through train of ex-
press cars speeding from Boston to New
York caught fire the other night. The
messenger. unable either to put out the
flames or stop the train or make his
danger known, jumped from the car to
escape the flames. The train was going
35 miles an hour. He escaped with a
few bruises
When that mans time comes a scratch
from rusty nail or a cold or indigestion
may carrys him off.

rently he has the best of the argument.
