A Visitors Impressions

1T is safe to say that not many cities
of approximately Birmingham's size are
witnessing so much handsome bulldihg
improvements as one secs here SAID
Charles F. Cartwright of Chicago.
Il first visited Birmingham about three
years ago. and thought this was quite
a handsome city then, but 1t strikes me
as far handsomer now. The improve
ments here have been very marked in
deed. In the business district one sees
great deal of building, ard | am told
there is much new construction work IN
progress in the outlying sections.

ONE WAY TO BE CONTENT.

A happy hearted citizen
Went gaily to his work;
He had no wish to lie in bed
And no desire to shirk.
His daily duties brought him cheer
Because he did them well
And let no hard luck cast him down,
No matter what befell
This happy hearted citizen
A good example set,
Who simply had no time, he said,
To cherish vain regret.
And when his earthly race was run,
Most always with a smile,
The many years he'd spent in toll
Seemed just little while.

saying that nobody loves a fat man.

The New PostoHiee

Il have no inside information, but the
new postoffice will doubtless be erected
on the Fifth avenue site extending from
Eighteenth to Nineteenth streets, the
crater part of which the government al
ready owns" said member of the Cham
Der of Commerce. "It seems to be pop
ular location for Uncle Sans $1,000 600
edifice
Some time ago the government bought
ana paid for 250 feet at the northwest cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street
and in the last Congress S1,O00,0tO was ap-
propriated for the postoffice, 100000 of
which, as / recall it, was for an addition
to the original site. 1t seems that the
treasury officials are figuring on $4,000
for additional realty with a view of hav-
ing $4,000 to the credit Of the. building
fund or the furnishing fund. Eight hun
dred thousand dollars would pay for a
very handsome postoffice, but It will
probably cost the government fully $1,000
600 before it is finished and in view OF
Birminghams rapid growth and great fu-
ture, nothing is too good for 1t.
Before the 100000 which the appro-
priation bill contained can be available
another act of Congress will be necessary.
The ways and means committee has to
ratify the appropriation. and that will be
done probably in the regular session or
the Sixty-third Congress. Ground Will
probably be broken for the new building
some time in the early part of 1915.

MAYOR GAYNOR ON MUSIC
From Musical America.

From Musical America.
1P to the present time music is about
the only thing which Mayor Gay
nor has not written a letter about.
He has, however, touched this subject at
last in a manner which can be regarded
as illuminating or not, according as one
looks at the matter. The daily papers
have printed a letter which the mayor
wrote to lady who asked for even more
than is already being done in the parks
with regard to giving good music The ex-
plain. 1t is variously quoted as request
for grand OPERA for more classical
music" etc, in the parks. One could
judge better of the mayors letter If it
was known exactly what the lady asked
for. II it was for the innovation of act
ual scenes from grand opera in Central
park, as has been proposed once or twice
in the last couple of years, the mayor
might have more reason to demur, as in
novations are often serious matters.
If the lady asked for concerts Of a high
order, where she. could hear the best
music from the great operas. standard or
chestral works, and occasionally even
symphonies, she is probably aware of the
fact that she can satisfy herself in those
respects almost any day in Central park
from now on through the summer. If 1t
is that she merely wishes to have the
scope of such concerts as those given In
Central PARK extended and given in other
places instead OF the usual band concerts
now given, that, too. is matter for con-
sideration 1t is probably sufficient to
have one particular center where the
greatest music of the world rendered by
the orchestra, as it should be, may be
heard. Those who want to hear such

AIabama's Prosperity

John Craft, of Mobile, president of the
Alabama Good Roads association, spent
yesterday in Birmingham and met many
friends to whom he talked optimistical-
ly of good highways, progressive agri-
culture and oyster culture.
"A great deal is heard about the
progress of the Alabama farmer, but
no one can realize what great progress
has been made unless he rides through
the country as l have done," said Mr..
Craft. Alabama is full of thrift. One
may see hundreds and hundreds of
beautiful farms In the place of some
of the poor. neglected estates of a few
years ago. Farmers are taking much
more pride in their work than former
ly and the time will soon come when
a poorlyNcultivated field will be thing
Of the past.
Wonderful work has been done in
good road building since our associa-
tion was formed. The counties tha t
have good roads today are the most
prosperous counties, as matter of
course. While 1 will continue to give
much of my time to promoting good
roads, I am devoting great deal of
my attention to the development of the
oyster industry.
The United States government did
great thing for Alabama when it made
a survey of the oyster beds and barren
bottoms of Mississippi sound and 1t
Will not be long before Alabama s
oyster industry will take high rank in
the business world. Our natural oys-
ter reefs and unproductive bottoms can
be made to produce fine oysters by
artificial culture. And this industry
comparatively new to us as COM
mercial proposition, will add greatly
to the wealth of the state"

music. and (quite contrary to the mayors
asesrtion) their name is legion may go to
such center. The expense of giving
such orchestral concerts regularly in other
centers would be disproportionate to the
gain which would be made.
Where Mayor Gaynor says that "only
few people are able to understand
music of a higher order he is entirely
overlooking the extraordinary proof to the
contrary which has been afforded by the
municipal orchestral concerts under his
own administration. In the summer sea-
son of 1911 there were 700 band concerts in
the parks and 100 orchestral concerts. The
total attendance at the concerts was ap-
proXimately 100000. One-half of this
mass of people was drawn by the orches-
trail concerts of the worlds greatest music
in Central park. In other words, it took
seven times as many band concerts, with
music of a. less high order. to draw as
many people as the smaller number OF
the orchestral concerts drew.
In assuming that music is thing to be
understood" by the mind rather than
to be grasped as it really is by the musi-
cal sense, the mayor is overlooking the
greatest and simplest fact concerning
music in its relation to humanity. 1t is
In the Central park concerts under Mayor
Gaynors own administration that, If the
matter needed proof, it has been conclu-
sively proven that the people rise spon-
taneously and wholly without especial
musical education to the greatest which
music has to offer. This would appear
to be Numerically opposed to the idea
which the mayor holds, but IL he is inter-
ested to see how far wrong he is, it is
only necessary for him to go up to Cen-
trail park on any Sunday afternoon.

THE CHENEY NORMAL SCHOOL

The following from the Post-ln-
telligencer of Sunday, Feb. 10,
1918, is commendable and so peril
nent at this time that we repro
duce il, fully believing that the
sentiment expressed meets the APP
proval of the overburdened tax
PAYERS OF the state:
Gov. Lister displayed courage
as it is rare in his vetoe of the APP
propriaton for the Cheney normal
school, and while his action may
be resented in some quarters, the
people of the state as whole will
Elm It wisdom and justice.
The dangerous weakness Of
representative government is this
trading of votes in legislatures and
congress; this measuring of a rep
resentative's ability by the size of
the appropriation he secures for
his district, irrespective OF the
amount of all appropriations which
must grow to inflated proportions
under this system. Then comes
the bewildered complaint about
high taxes, which are the direct
result of every legislature giving
much to gain his share. 1t ought
to be plain TO every citizen that
these appropriations come from
his pocket. and while he may get
some apparent advantage from an
appropriation for his district, that
this advantage Is compensated for
by what he must pay 70 give other
districts their share Of the public
treasury.
Too often executives are prone
to follow the path Of least resist
ance in these matters, essaylng TO
gain popularity with all sections
by acceding to their wishes. It IS
an easy matter to shift the respon-
sibility for these expenditures on
the legislature, which after its adj
journment is hay body without
an individual responsibility. There
is an additional temptation in the
fact that the public memory is
short as to details, and public
opinion becomes confused in the
intricacies of appropriation legisla-
ton.
That Gov. Liston is too big TOR
this is cause for cheer. He
knows he is in the right and does
not hesitate to declare himself.
The cause of education has not
been damaged in the slightest by
his attitude; rather it has been ad
vanced. 1t now remains to be
seen whether the legislature can
rise to the stature of the governor
and view the state as an entity in
stead of a federation of local dis
tricts, each centered on its imme-
diate profits
