MOST IMPREssIyE SIGHT

F. C. Selons in the Strand.
When the frequency of the Aurora in the
Polar regions is referred to, the express
sion should not be taken too literally.
On the contrary, Auroras, l believe, are
far less numerous In the Polar region
proper than farther to the south.
1t was one night about the middle of
September that l beheld a truly magnifl-
cent display of the Aurora Borealis
Across the inky blackness of the northern
sky a gerat arc of pure white light was
suddenly stretched, which lit up the snow
covered mountains around our camp
just as If we had suddenly attracted the
very active attention of gigantic search
light.
From the main body of this glorious
sheet of flame great darts and streamers
constantly shot shivering and shimmerins
through the sky, now opening out into
broad white lanes of light. and again
narowinrg until swallowed up once more
by the envious darkness of the surround
ing sky.
Never for a single instant We're these
wonderful polar lights still; they con-
stantly spread and contracted in ever
varying waves and tongues of light, until
finally they died out, and the stars once
more shone brightly in the clear sky. The
effect was, indeed, amazing and awing in
the extreme.
Only once more did we see the northern
lights but then, too, the display was soul
stirring and magnificent, and 1 count
these splendors of the Arctic sky as the
most marvellous of all the wonders of the
world-all the wonders of the world that
l have been privileged to see, at any rate.
Seen in the solitude of the northern will
derness such visions of glory cannot but
awaken reverence in the soul of man, of
whatever race or degree of culture.

A RAILROAD PRESIDENT
m the Chicago Tribune.

FROM the Cn1cagO Tribune.
Mr.. S. S. Mcclure in his autobiography
says that he is profoundly convinced that
a thorough training in Greek is the best
possible foundation for successful and
satisfactory life. The veer may be in
that direction again. Item Mr.. Fairfax
Harrison, president of the Chicago, In
dianapolis and Louisville railroad, has
been elected president of the Southern
Railway company and it's subsidiary lines.
Mr.. Harrison is product of that old
fashioned classcism which flowered in
his state of Virginia in Jeffersonian days
when a gentleman got along we'll enough
If he had the business sense to hire a
good overseer. He has mixed it success
fully with the requirements of an age
when a gentleman gets along seemingly
we'll enough IL he knows there were such
a people as the Greeks.
Mr.. Harrison has more than dilettante
knowledge of the ancients. He has
very fortunate and appreciative classicism
which is authoritative. Recently we men,
toned his work on the Roman agrono-
mists with admiration divided between his
translations of Cato and Varro and his
commentaries.
The practical man of affairs might think
of Mr.. Harrison as incoming around where
there was more ivy than activity. He
has gone from law college into the rail-
road business and in it to the top. The
conventional story is from section boss
to railroad president"
Here is something new in railroad pres
idents.

Fewer Federal Plums

''Whle the President has the appoint
ment of many important officials, the
patronage list is distressingly small from
the politicians point of view, compared
with appointing conditions in 1885 when
Mr.. Cleveland first went into office"
said Cyrus A. Loader of Philadelphia.
'T was young man then and voted
the democratic ticket as 1 do now. I
took quite an active part in politics. but
was never a candidate or applicant for
any office. I was interested, however,
in the candidacy of democrats who were
after plums. The civil service law was
beginning TO cut some figure, but it was
not until Mr.. Cleveland's second term
that great dmunition in federal ap-
pointments was noticeable.
President Wilson and those under him
will make fewer appointments than any
of their predecessors. Mr.. Wilson is
d strong civil service reformer himself,
and will not do anything to change the
al plication of the law.
ut is wonderful how we get used to
these things. The merit system is GER
tainly in the line of progress, and can
OF but feel like congratuiating the Presi-
dent and the other department officers
on being relieved of much strain

LATTER-pAY coNFucIANIsM

From China Summons Confucius, by
Bradley Gilman, in the American Re
view of Reviews for December.
China is tossing restlessly in her age
long sleep, and shows signs of awaking.
This situation appeals to the United
States only indirectly; but most of the
land-hungry European nations are wait
ing at her bedside, and are guessing as to
her present pathologic condition and her
outlook for future health and strength
Competent judges near at hand agree that
If China were to produce, soon, some
great leader, he would become the center
of crystallization for the saturated solu-
ton of loyal sentiment, which is latent n
this mighty people. Lacking such a liv-
ing leader, the Chinese may call upon
Confucius, and unite the several diverse
provinces under potent bond of re-
hgious fervor However, the influence oi
the great ethical teacher may have waned
during the past century, he has not be-
surprising observance of his birthday
(September % fully attests. About Il
week before that date circular letter
was sent to all the governors of pro-
vinees, setting forth the virtues of Con
fucius. The intention was that this state
ment should be presented to local magis-
trates, and by them be brought before the
plain people. Thus a way would be pre-
pared for the subsequent elevation of the
great and honored sage as the true leader
of the new republic. Naturally, we would
expect him to be held most highly in
honor by the old dethroned Manchu dy-
nasty. Young China" however realizes
that the country greatly needs both
leader and a religion, and that these two
needs could be met by a revival of the
Confueian cult probably in a modernized
form. Twenty years ago the sage's birth
day was observed only slightly and spor-
adcally, but this year there has been a
widely spread and distinctly fervent ex-
preston of public devotion to him. Dec
orations, professions, and public meetings
are reported from all the provinces.
Young China is willing to concede
much. if only it can gather in most of the
factions conservative and radical,
throughout this heterogeneous nation. At
one celebration, not far rom Canton,
hymns in favor of Confucius We're sung
by four graduates of the Canton Christian
college; and the words We're set to the
music of "Ye Banks and Braes of Bonnie
DOOM and to favorite Methodist mel
ody. The effect of this years observ-
ances is to suggest the conjecture that
China's awakening may have to be pri-
marily religious, and secondarily political.
What will result from this call to Con-
fucius?

PnnnIar Visitor

Lew Lazarus, who was one of Bir-
mingham's best known and popular citi-
zens for many years, now resident of
Little Rock, whose married daughter lives
in that city, is here on a visit. Mr..
Lazarus has not only been active in Ma
sonrY ever since he became a Mason, but
he has been signally honored by the grand
bodies of Alabama. He maintains his
Masonic membership III this state and
has been reappointed on the finance COM

ago he filled the office of grand high
master of the Royal Arch chapter of this

TnIlss of Cincinnati

Il am going back to Cincinnati to spend
the holidays and expect to have very
enjoyable time" said Y. W. Williams,
Alabama agent of the V. II. Jackson
Cigar Co. of the Queen City.
Cincinnati is one of the cheapest places
to live in / have yet seen. The food costs
less, the rents cost less and clothes cost
less, than [ have found such items in
many other cities. In Cincinnati | can
go in a first class restaurant and get

or 81 elsewhere.
Getting down to the common restau-
rants there is the Manhattan in Cincn-
natl, which l believe is the largest in
the world. It's owners claim to serve 10000

have seen the time when there would
be as many as eight people standing be-
hind my chair, waiting for a chance to
be served. The restaurant covers almost
an entire block and is busy nearly all
the time.
"The man who runs this restaurant
started in business back in 1894. l remem-
Der well his little restaurant-it occupied
then space about % feet square. l was
back in Cincinnati in 1903 and he had
branched out until he occupied almost

that city the restaurant occupied almost
a full block and is one of the most pop
ular places in the city. I don't know how
1t is that meal can be sold for 10 cents
but I do not question it. 1t is a fact,
and that's enough"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-05
Regarding Trade Improvement

Notwithstanding the recent reces-
sion in business, conditions are sound
at bottom and signs point clearly to
trade improvement in the very near
future.
One of the dullest branches of the
industrial world is the pig iron mar
ket. 1t has been quiet for several
months and almost lifeless during the
past few weeks. But as consumers
have been using up their stocks, they
cannot stay out of the market much
longer. No line of trade starts up
buoyantly on such short notice or
keeps up as actively for weeks or
months as does the iron market This
Characteristic can be recalled by those
who have been connected with the
trade for any length of time.
The iron market circulars of this
week refer to the Continued quiet
that rules the trade in several dis.
tricts. "But shipments are still Of
more than average volume" accord
ing to one prominent firm, land there
has been no cessation in receiving iror
on contract or in the average melt
for this period of the year in the gen
eral foundry trade"
There are today many evidences Of
railroad improvement and preparation

Spirit of Cooperation Urged

Col W. H. Kettig, known as an
upbuilder and as one of Birmingham
most progressive citizens, writes
letter to The Age HeBald, which will
be found on another page, and as it
is full of pith and in expression is out
of the beaten style, it viii be read with
keen interest.
In general way the letter is on
the get-together spirit, and in particu-
lar stresses the Importance of CO.
operation on the part of business. men
in working to secure one of the region
al reserve banks provided for in the
banking and currency bill which will
soon be enacted into law. If the num-
Der of regional banks were to be only
four, no city further south than Louis
vile would be considered; but some
senators strongly favor twelve re-
gional banks, while others are insist
ing upon eight. 1t is thought that
when the bill comes up for its pas
sage it will provide for eight or per-
haps ten as a compromise.
Colonel Kettig reminds the people
OF Birmingham that the Georgia SEN
ators are already active in insisting
that Atlanta have one of the regional
banks. "Would it not be a good
thing" he asks, "if our senators and
congressman got together and insisted
that the greatest manufacturing city
of the south be. recognized by the ad-
ministration, and that regional bank
be located here?"
Atlanta may not be able to secure
one of the regional banks, but it would
not be because the "get-together"
spirit was lacking If there are as
many as ten or twelve regional re-
serve banks, one, if not two of them,
will be located south of the Ohio
river; and geographically and COM.
mercially Birmingham would be in
singularly strong position when re-
gional distribution came up for action.
Colonel Kettig suggests that the
Chamber of Commerce take this ques-
tion up at once. As he says, "Now is
the time. If we wait much longer
we will be too late"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-05
The Presidents Patience

Among other strong qualities which
distinguish President Wilson is his
patience Seldom has Presidents S
patience been more tried than has DIR.
Wilson's in his peace policy toward
Mexico.
Thus far there has been no reason
whatsoever for the United States in
vading Mexico. The only thing that
might have precipitated war would
have been some sudden eutburst re-
sulting in death or injury to an of
ficial or semi-official representative
of this government. President Wilson
has taken important precautionary
steps. He has caused to be mobilized
a large body of troops on the Mexican
border to be used in case of emerg-
ency, but only in such case.
A few months ago many Americans
were predicting war. Many citizens in
different parts of the country, in
spired by patriotic sentiment, said
they did not see how it was possible
to keep out of war, and young men
were ready TO volunteer. But Presi-
dent Wilson took a large and sane
view of the matter and his patience
stood him in good stead. Had he been
ill-poised or less cool he might have
precipitated war, or been drawn into
one, but it would be hard to find a
thoughtful American now who does
not commend Mr.. Wilson for his
patience.
The chancelleries of Europe have
for the most part approved of the
American policy; and England espe-
cially has been most cordial in ex-
preston of friendship for the United
States at this juncture. Having
escaped a bloody conflict with Mexico
thus far there is reason to hope that
the Wilson administration will con-
tinue unperturbed and at peace with
it's unhappy neighbor.

English and American Courts

Although this country has developed
much more rapidly and progressively
than has the mother" country, there
are few matters English than can be
studied with profit by American voters
and lawmakers. Among these is
"swift and cheap" justice.
It seems that the essential differ
ence between English and American
courts is that English judges have
"the power to be just" while our
Judges are hampered by a bungle-
some system of procedure imposed
often by legislators not fully in
formed as to the most effective and
efficient methods of melting out JUS
tice; but in English civil courts use
less litigation is avoided to a great
extent, for no denial of the allega-
ton OF defiance of the alligator" is
recognized unless backed by specific
reasons or counter charges on the
part of the defendant. In this way
large percentage of commercial cases
are disposed of without trial.
Within the last century British
lawmakers have evolved business
like system that eliminates waste of
time as we'll as motion. 1t provides
that only one judge shall try an in
dividual case, and that case having
been assigned to him, he becomes per-
sonally responsible as to the justice of
procedure from the Every beginning
until the case ends in final judgment"
It is evident that while English judges
have large powers, these are in turn
balanced by heavy responsibilities.
As everyone knows, cases in Ameri-
ca, in many instances, are shifted
from one court to another, through
the abuse of the technicality, at the
caprice of a skillful lawyer, who can
thus avoid being consistent in his
pleas; and each succeeding judge is
at greater disadvantage, for as the
case progresses the counsel becomes
more familiar with its intricacies and
peculiar legal possibilities, while
those phases are sometimes altogeth-
er new to the justice.

Animated Holiday Trade

The holiday trade seems to be as ami
mated this year as ever" said w. w.
Wardle of Chicago.
There has been great rush in Chicago
for at least two weeks past l spent two
days in Cincinnati last week, and the
merchants there seemed to be doing a
very lively business.
Il am told that the holiday trade is
brisk here in Birmingham, and that should
not be surprising, for this is one of the
most prosperous cities that know any
thing about.
Purchasers of holiday goods may not
be buying expensive articles as in
some former years. but on the whole the
volume of business and the profits will
be. I imagine, satisfactory.
When it comes to manufacturing and
jobbing lines, if comparatively quiet has
prevailed since early in the fall, renewed
activity is expected to set in early in the
new year"
