Richmond that its pFoportionate Increase In
population has been larger. He will naturally
assume that Birmingham is more progressive
its people more energetic and Its natural and
acquired advantages greater than those OF
Richmond. We of this city will know that such
is not fact, but nobody else will know it.
We will know that Birmingham had 1872 900
people within an area of fortyeight square
miles in 1910. whereas Richmond had a popula
ton of $4,000 people within an area of eleven
square miles one Of which was water We of
Richmond will know that there is larger popu-
lation within radius of forty,eight square miles
Of Richmond than within the forty-eight square
miles Of Birmingham, but few5 other people will
know It.
When the census Of 1920 is taken we will
know that Birmingham's larger population is
due to the fact that it has again enlarged its
area and covers something like one hundred
square miles while Richmond still covers the
same old ten, but few other people will know
It
If we should succeed in advertising the fact
to the world, which would be difficult If not
impossible task, we would only succeed in ad-
vertising our own lack Of foresight and initia,
tive
Should Richmond annex a reasonable amount
of territory it will have larger population in
1920 than Birmingham and still cover much
smaller area of ground The average man
would then know that. whereas Richmond was
smaller than Birmingham In 1910 1t had passed
the Alabama city in 1920. He would know
it and at once reach the conclusion that Rich
mond is a better city than Birmingham and
should he contemplate a change OF residence
he would begin to inquire of the advantages
Of Richmond. Then, we would tell him Of our
other forward steps but not until then.
Reasonable and common-sense policy OF an
nexation is reason and common sense and moth
ing less.

an average Of three and one-half times as fast

in 1872 alone hundred thousand divorces
were granted In the States of this union. What
this means is strikingly illustrated by a COM
parlson which shows that in twenty European
countries together with Canada, Australia and
New Zealand with an aggregate population Of
Zbt000o0o there were aggregate of 27 900
divorces in 1900, while the divorces granted

BE Brave.
It's hard sometimes to bear the lot
That God has pointed out
This hard sometimes to face the cares
That hover round about
'Fis hard. so hard to do the right
But try OH, try with all our might.
And then at last we'll see the light
BE brave.
It's hard to reconcile ourselves
To Gods appointed will,
It's hard when troubles oft asSail
To know He loves Us still,
It's hard our courage to sustain,
But if we falter meath the strain.
Our trust in Him win seem In vain
BE brave
IT'S hard 10 love our fellow-man
When he has done us wrong,
This hard to ask Gods blessing
To make him good and strong.
Tis hard that we must soon forgive.
But If we wish to nobly live
We must to him our friendship give
BE brave
It's hard to do unainchngly
The thing We ought to do,
'Tis hard to all our principles
Remain forever true,
Tis hard to boldly take the stand
With but a small and feeble band
And speak the truth on every nand~-
BE brave.
BE brave" then is our motto,
Whatever may befall
BE brave" then. is our watchword,
n conflicts great and small
BE brave, when duties call us
BE brave when storms appalI US
