Interested Collection Exhibited

Many people are visiting the Young
Mems Christian association lobby, where
there is on exhibition an interesting coll
lection of pictures and curios from In
dia,' said Secretary Walter S. Stalling
yesterday. THE exhibit was brought to
Birmingham by E. T. Cotton of New
York city and A. c. Harte, national secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation in India.
1.-THE pictures show buildings of the
Young Mems Christian association in In
dia and illustrate different phases of the
work of the institution in that far off
land. 1t is interesting for we Americans
to realize sometimes that our brothers of
different nationalities are also members
of the great institution of which we are so
proud. Mr.. Harte formerly was secre-
tary of the Mobile Young Mems Christian
association and has many friends in Ala
bsma. He has delivered one or two lee
lures or addresses to the local members
upon conditions and life in the far east
where the rival religions of the Christians
have their strongest footholds, and they
have been full of interesting incidents and
beneficial knowledge"

Death of DIR. OMAN

DR.. Charles o. Oman, founder and
managing director of the Pisgah Home
in Birmingham, will be sadly missed
in this community. Coming here from
California three years ago, he started
his Pisgah work in a small and quiet
way. If there was criticism of DR.
Oxnam's methods of conducting g
charitable misunderstanding for the
poor and friendless without question
and without regard to their past rec
ords or where they came from-there
were only words of praise as his goot
work expanded.
With the aid of generous hearted
men and women DR.. Oman was en-
abled in a comparatively short time
to build up large institution, o1
which any city might have been proud
Men and women who sought the
Pisgah Home and applied for foot
and shelter were never turned away
The poor and friendless were always
made to feel welcome. Was the mar
a drunkard or tramp; or was tht
woman adrift in the world? All suci
were fed and sheltered at the Pisgaf
Home.
AS DIR. Oman became better
known, his motives were appreciated
and he himself was sincerely esteemed
Birmingham can i'll afford to lose 6
man like DR.. Oman; and although
the circle of his acquaintance may
have been limited because of his short
residence here, his death will be gen
orally mourned, and his memory
should be cherished by the hundred,
upon hundreds of those whom he hat
befriended.

To Tunnel English Channel

Now that the Panama canal is prac-
tically an accomplished fact, the next
engineering feat of international i'm
portance will probably be railroad
tunnel beneath .'le strait of Dover
connecting England with the continent
with rungs of steel.
The construction of this important
railway link between London and
Paris-two great capitals of old-time
rival nations-has long been contem-
plated, but English caution and prov
erbial conservatism has hitherto as
serted itself and preserved theeisola-
ton of the isle. The economic value
and the practicablity, from an engi-
neering viewpoint, of the proposed
tunnel is not disputed by recognized
authorities; indeed the commercial i'm
portance is self-evident, and the con-
venience to travellers of direct eX-
pl ess service between London and The
great cities of Europe could hardly
be overestimated.
The only consideration that will
weigh against the bill now pending in
the British Parliament, providing for
this modern improvement, will be the
question of strategy in time of war.
But it seems probable that this objec-
tion will eventually be overcome, for
the English public has become almost
reconciled to the danger of an air in
vasion from the continent, and the
tunnel has been ingeniously planned
SO as to be unavailable in the event
of war.
The length of the proposed channel
subway would be about % miles, and
the estimated expense $50, 0,000, ,000-a
mere bagatelle when compared with
the cost of our Panama canal,
and the economic Importance would
be almost as great Had progressive
American lawmakers or some of our
en.erprising financiers been in control
of affairs at London several compet-
ing subways would probably have
been in operation beneath the English
channel before now.

A LONESOME CHRISTMAS

Robert d. Heinl, in Leslie's.
Imagine what might happen IL Uncle
Sams" faithful lighthouse tenders left
their lonely stations and came ashore to
celebrate Christmas. 1t is interesting to
learn that there are now over 600 light
housekeepers, 81 lightships and A light
house tenders (ships which administer
to the wants of those who cannot leave
their posts. The keeper of the most dis
tant light in Alaska-Cape Sarichef-re-
turned recently, his first absence in three
years. At this station there is sometimes
an interval of five months between mails,
and the keepers only neighbor is trap
per- 10 miles away. George r.. Putnam,
commissioner of lighthouses, is authority
for the statement that lightkeeper on
the Columbia river. Oregon, has taken
only two days leave in % years, and
one of these two days was for the purpose
of being married. A good citizen of De-
troit each Christmas sends dozen phon-
ographs to Washington for distribution
among the lonely lightkeepers. There is
never enough desirable reading material
to go around.

LITERATURE OF THE INVERTED.

From the New York World.
The announcement coming from new
school of writer's who claim to have
evolved law of inversion" contains the
following paradox: do evil, not because
1t is evil, but because 1t is good.
One should marry woman who loves
one murder, that one may taste the fear
of being hanged and play with the shad-
ows of remorse One must always lie, for
in lies alone are to be found the truth"
1t is safe to say that no school Of lit
erature or any single book has ever been
successfully founded on a serious intent
to prove that vice is ever anything but
evil, or that virtue is a simple lack of
sophistication. Not even Oscar Wilde at
tempted this, and as a dealer in the in
yerted and perverted he has never had
an equal. But his meretricious doctrine
has lost most of It's glitter. Mr.. G. K.
Chesterson has wrung the last sensation
from the novelty of contemplating the
world upside down. There is nothing left
to be done in the field of the abnormal.
Except as a febrile attempt to titillate a

jaded, there is not an atom of excuse for
the literature of the morbid and the un-
healthy.
Here is a suggestion for the sensational:
Why not proclaim the obscure truth that
right living and sane thinking may some
times lead a man to happiness; that con-
ditions are conceivable under which moral
ity would NOT he q N inaxeusfhle weakness.
that there may even be a vestige of hope
for the man who has orthodox notions
about right and wrong? This would be
sensation which for pure daring would
exceed the maddest hopes of the futurists
and make the lurid literature of the in
verted look sickly and pale.

To increase Jobbing Trade

1.-THE decision of the wholesale trade
committee of the Chamber of Commerce,
together with number of wholesale
merchants whom this committee had in
vited to meet with it, to form trade ex-
tension bureau, should be the cause of
rejoicing on the part of the general pub
lic," said member of the Chamber OF
Commerce ut means that Birmingham
merchants will secure much larger vol
ume of business than they have /hereto-
fore been getting and that more people
will be visiting the city. All this means
that the citizens in general will be BEN
Gifted.
Il understand that II. M Beck was the
bureau and that the meeting Tuesday
afternoon was the outcome of his sugges-
tion to Murray Brown that such bureau
be established. 1t is said that no other
city of Birminghams size in this country
is without such a bureau, and the general
belief seems to be that if one were estab-
lished here it would eventually make Bir-
mingham one of the largest jobbing CEN
ters in this country. Atlanta is now a
large jobbing center and 1t is said to be
so because of live trade extension bu-
reau.
well, when these wholesale men get
together on a proposition, and especially
one that so vitality affects them, they win
certainly do things. Atlanta will have to
hustle if she retains her laurels. Bir-
mingham is going after the title of being
the largest jobbing center in the south.

THE CRIME OF 1913.

From the Colusa (Cal.) Herald.
Are We to sacrifice the last shred of
our manhood and womanhood in surren-

country In all the history of the world
has ever grown to greatness through ce-
ment sidewalks. Washington never saw
one, nor did Jefferson. nor jackson, nor
Jefferson Davis. What was good enough
for them surely Is good enough for us.
Away with those who would impoverish
us and our children by coercing us to
pay our money for these useless and
foolish freaks of modern luxury. Let us
live as our fathers before us lived, un-
tainted by imported notions that weaken
our manhood and make 1t constantly
easier for us to fall for the silly ideas

Why Not Accept With Grace?

10y ANO' -A~NePS " hth Oio oSts
The Louisville and Nashville should
accept with good grace Judge w. l.
Grubb's decision, concurred in by two
other federal judges, making a 21s-
cent passenger rate between Decatur
and Montgomery effective January 1,
The 21a-cent rate ordered by the
Alabama railroad commission is in
effect on all the lines in this state
except those owned by the Louisville
and Nashville.
Soon after the Conner legislature
provided for a reduction in the rate
from cents to 21a cents the South
ern Railway company accepted the
situation and did it gracefully. The
executive head of that great system,
recognizing the right of the state to
regulate the railroads and fix rates,
subject to review by the courts, con-
cluded that it would be unwise to re-
sist the>railroad commissions order.
Other companies followed the
| Southern's course and in so doing
gained the good will of the public
and at the same time carried pas
sengers at a profit. But the Louis
VIII, and Nashville has kept up its
contention vigorously and, from its
point of view, ably. The 21b-cent
rate is not confiscatory. Had it been
the other lines would not have re-
mained quiet all this time, nor would
the courts have decided against the
Louisville and Nashville.
The world admires the man or cor
poration that stands up for his or its
rights. People applaud pluck. The
Louisville and Nashville has done a
groa1 deal for Birmingham and the
birmingham district. Its president
has been a true friend to this city and
he has aided it materially in times of
business depression. Everyone in this
section should feel grateful to him and
most of them do. But in these rate
cases, as he has fought to the last
ditch, so to speak, without gaining
his contention, he should accept the
courts decisions without further legal
contest. And why not accept with
good grace?

FEMINIsM IN ITALY.
e New York World.

From the New York World.
King Victor Emmanuers declaration
| that the new Parliament Will give Ital-
ian women their rightful place" arrests
the attention of feminists everywhere. 1t
is vague, but it presages triumphs.
Two years ago Italian feminism was
weak in the north and elsewhere hardly
existed The new election law, which gives
the vote to nearly all men over 81, has
brought woman suffrage forward swiftly.
The greater part of the newly registered
men refrained from voting, some because
they We're suspicious that the ballot was
not really secret, but more from lack of
interest. Now that millions of illiterates
have a ballot they value too little to use,
educated women are demanding the same
right.
Custom no less than law has kept Italian
feminism undeveloped Custom in south
ern Italy says that a shopgirl shall not
go unchaperoned even to work. and keeps
all women except the old under surveil-
lance. Law forbids woman to marry
without her parents consent until she is
80, which bears more heavily upon her
than her brother; in property matters also
1t exalts the family council above indi-
vidual freedom. Feminism declares war
upon both law and custom in so far as
they fetter the action of women.
The Giolitti government, surviving the
experiment of increasing the number of
voters from three to seven times, accord
ing to the district, plans fresh steps to-
ward democracy. Said the King: What
we here inaugurate is not merely a new
Parliament but a new epoch of Italian
life. Italian women have at least prom
ise of sharing in that epoch.

MISUNDERSTOOD SIBERIA

From the Russian Review.
Siberia has probably been the subject
of more misconceptions than any other
country. Through the modern novel
which deals with Russian life 1t is pic
tured in the minds of most people as q
land of perpetual winter, extremely bar
rem, its only industry being mines
worked by convict labor whose unwil-
lingness is overcome by the constant ap-
plication of the knout, until eventually
death gives them a happy release. ST.
IBERIA in reality is Russia's Canada, and
Canada, as portrayed by the novelist, is
land flowing with milk and honey.

contented.

pig metal contracted for in the third

usually brisk iron market is in sight
There will be increased inquiries for
iron before Christmas, and by the
middle of January there will be, un-
less all signs fail, a healthy boom in
the iron trade.
During the greater part of this
year the Birmingham district has en-
joyed high degree of prosperity.
Some of the industrial companies
made new high records in the early
part of the year, and the pay rolls
up to now have averaged high mark.

The Frightening Outlook

: The announcement in yesterdays
Age Herald of orders for rails re-
ceivcd by the Tennessee, Coal, Iron
and Railroad company aggregating
$4,000 tons had naturally cheering
effect upon all branches of business
here. The Louisville and Nashville
alone ordered $4,000 tons. That COM
pany has long had way of helping
out" the district when business was
dull, and it's broad gagged and public
spirited policy at this time should be
generally appreciated.
The big plant at Ensley will
be kept in operation throughout
the holidays, and it is quite
reasonable to suppose that be-
fore the end of the year additional ra l
orders will be secured. Notwithstand-
ing the recent recession in business in
the industrial world the Tennessee
company is operating practically all
of its mines and manufacturing
plants.
The iron market has been dull for
several months past, but there has
been little or no curtailment in opera
tions on the part of iron makers. In
dications point clearly to decided i'm
provement in business. The Alabama
Great Southern Railroad company has
decided to expend $25,000,000 on i'm
provements, including double track
construction. The Louisville and Nash
vile, it is believed, will spend millions
of dollars in double tracking between
here and Montgomery. The railroads
all over the country need equipment,
and great deal of it. Even if it has
been comparatively difficult for some
of the roads to sell bonds or borrow
money for improvement and expan-
sion they will be compelled in the i'm
mediate future to spend large sums
of money for betterments. That will
mean active buying movements in the
iron and steel markets.
Iron consumers have no surplus
stocks, but on the other hand have
teen demanding prompt shipments of

DOLLS HOUSES

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
A judge in the federal court in New
York declares that hereafter no woman
convicted of smuggling shall escape a
prison sentence because she is woman.
News is made of the declaration, and
comment thereupon is copious, for the
reason that 1t is customary for the law
to be more lenient to women who trans
gress the law than to men equally guilty.
There is no moral defense of treating
women in court as IL they We're iresponsi.
BILE beings. Nowadays there is a consd-
cradle demand for all sorts of equality in
rights for women. Surely no reasonable
person can argue that men and women
are equal mentally, but differ in moral ac-
countablity.
1t is true that the old-fashioned defini-
ton of IAN honest woman is one who
leads chaste life,, while IAN honest man.

but as the definitions date back to The

was pretty generally recognized, and
when there were no "emancipated" wom-

was with the times rather than the terms.
woman who is smuggler Is, beyond
quibble, thief. Therefore she is not an
honest woman in the up-to-date accepta-
tion of the term. Being a thief, and be-

she should be treated as thief and pun
