An Appeal to the Courts

Governor Suffers attorneys have
formulated a plan for fighting the inn
peachment proceedings brought
against him by Boss Murphy of Tam
many. They have been collecting evil
dence which they hope will convince
a grand jury that their client is the
victim of criminal conspiracy, and
they will ask District Attorney Whit
man to present the facts before
grand jury in New York.
That some members of the New
York legislature are corrupt is moral
ly certain; that Sulzer's present plight
is due to his refusal to follow the
dictation of Murphy is well known.
AS expressed by the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger (Ind.), :" the oc-
casion of his removal is the right that
he did after he assumed office. He is
impeached because he was honest, not
because he was dishonest" And
again: However the charges may
read, it is for this defiance (of Muir
phy) that he will be tried, if he is
tried. The integrity of the executive
office, not the integrity of the execu-
tive officer, is the real issue at
stake"
Despite the fact that the removal
of Sulzer from office will leave a
clear field for Tammany's grating
operations, public sentiment continues
to show impatience with the accused
governor. He has failed to meet the
issue squarely. His denials of guilt
have been half hearted. He has shown
no disposition toward a full hearing
of the charges against him.
Even this latest programme of de-
fense will not prove satisfactory to
Sulzer's former admirers. 1t is hoped
by the lawyers that their contem-
plated move will block the impeach-
ment proceedings. They believe that if
the evidence they have collected is
made public, the members of the court
of appeals will decline to join the
senate in trial, and thus prevent a
hearing
In other words, the old Scotch ver-
dict of mot proven" seems the best
they hope for.

PARIS DANCING MAD

From McCalFs Magazine.
Paris-Paris is still dancing mad, and
we all love to go every afternoon to the
exclusive cafes, where we get dancing
and gossip with our friends with our tea.
OF course, these places cannot be quite as
exclusive as they try to be. Very funny
stories are going round of the way classes
sometimes get mixed at the public dancing
rooms. A story Is told of a well known
society woman who went to a public dance
at place where 1t was quite the cor
rect thing to go, and danced for the mere
love of 1t, with a partner who was a
superb dancer. Some time later she went
to dine with friend and was astounded
to find in the footman who took her
cloak at the door her late partner. To
give him his due, he knew his place, and
did not pretend to recognize her. She saw
the recognition In his eyes, however, as
she, herself started on seeing him

The Verdi Celebration

Next Wednesday night in Capitol park
Memoli and his band will celebrate the
Tooth birthday anniversary of Verdi, the
immortal composer" said a well known
musical amateur. "A beautiful pro-
gramme will be presented and it will in
clude a vocal number from Aida for
Miss Norma Scholar.
In addition to familiar Verdi melodies
Memoli will treat us to selections from
'Otello.' which few of us have had the
privilege of hearing. All well informed
persons know that 'Otello is the greatest
of Verdis compositions with. perhaps,
one xception-'Falstaff, which, by the
way, was written after the composer had
passed his s0th birthday.
"The Italian colony in the Birmingham
district is very large now. Tt is made
up of worthy sons of sunny Italy and as
every Italian is a music lover there will
be a great turnout Wednesday night"

MARK TWAIN AMONG THE PIRATES

In the September Strand appears some

to go with us, on a particular boat which
we had been warned not to miss. AS the

boarded us so eagerly that they failed to

rock, and sank in the channel. They

of whom were made to walk the plank in

MARK TwAIN's BELIEr IN HEAVEN

Marion Schuyler Allen, in the Strand.
Theology was a frequent subject of dis
cussion, so we can safely refute the many
mistakes made as to his beliefs. His
ideas on religion were different from any
conventional ones, but he could not truly

lieved, and as a result of the deepest
thought, in a Supreme Being The follow

into his thoughts on heaven and here
after: II do not think of heaven as
gittering place with streets of gold and
walls of pearl. but more like the quiet
woods, where the grass is green and the
little brook sings all day. 1 have thought
of heaven as a place where those who
love shall be together. free from all

Or wherever he may be-
With an air that's all-pervading

His step is quite elastic almost like a i.

highway where he loves to roam;
And the song that he is singing as he sets
his cane a-swinging-well, it's not the
sort of song he sings at home
His straw hat is very striking
As he tits it just a Bit
It's the tilt that makes the hit
It's entirely to his liking,
Though it doesn't seem to fit.
And his neclxtie and his collar-they would

For the clothes that he is wearing are

are not the sort of clothes he wears

Improvements in Greater Birmingham

travel about through the suburbs are

progress on every side said a member

all the occupants of the better class of
houses own their homes
In the Country club section the Bir-

of Miner Heights.
Norwood is more beautiful now than
ever and will always be one of Bir-

of great building improvements. At
