power that has through all time been
welded by corrupt, privileged class
to retain sovereignty, and super

light and followed Him. They couldn't
buy Him. They tried persecution.
"The birds of the air have nests, the

What an analogy is to be found in all
of Christ's life. They set spies around
Him to detect some word or act of
heresy through which he might be
hailed before the courts. For thirty
pieces of silver they bought one
whom he had loved and trusted and
who belonged to the inner circle to
betray him to the authorities. They
created a public opinion against him.
"The same kind of public opinion"
saws a modern writer, that killed
gladiators in the Roman amphitheatre
and stoned to death the Asiatic monk
when he leaped within the sandy ring
to protest against the bloodshed; that
decreed the hemlock for Socrates;
that drove Samuel Johnson to use his

a vague term but a real condition in
modern day society Money has been
crowned king and its subjects willing
vassals of its mad sway. In the
chase for the dollar that which was
noblest and best in mans nature has
been trampled under foot as we would
trample a roadside blossom. Truth,
sobriety, love of home, sanctity of
womanhood, the bloom Of childhood,
alike submerged and crushed beneath
the struggle for gold, the insignia of
place and power. Women's finer in
stincts, mems nobler ambitions, de-
based and forgotten in the jackals
fight for subsistence. We are money
mad, yes, but that is not the last pic
ture | would leave with you. He who
paints the picture of life, truthfully,
realistically, must use the lighter
shades as well as the darker 1t is
necessary to draw the shadows to set
people thinking, but one must use
the lights too, else hope in the human
breast would die, ambition wither and
decay and mankind descend again
into the dark ages of superstition.
/ There is a rift in the clouds, ana
! it gives promise like rainbow after
storm. Never before in the history
of the world have men and women
/ been 50 earnestly seeking way out
of the darkness of social injustice as
now. Not alone the organized labor
forces, but every social agency which
has heard the call of humanity is
graphing with the problems of social
Justice. We get impatient sometimes
with what we deem the waste OF eff
fort of social forces at work and in
our Impotence we growl and cavil and
criticise. That is natural Each or
us evolves a philosophy of life from
our individual reading and study and
observation and in our egotism we
imagine that ours is the only path out
of the wilderness into the promised
land. We forget that the very spirit
of rebellion, even though futile in its
Immediate accomplishments, is proof
that the leaven of better things is at
work. So, while l may not agree with
the tactics, even the philosophy, OF
some social agencies at work, l
recognize the kindred spirit of re-
bellion and render it my need OF re-
spect. When men do not protest 1t
is time for despair; when they do pro-
test, though Intellectually, it is har-
binger of progress and time will
smooth out the apparently irrecon-
cilable differences between the hui
man agencies working for the better
ment of the race. And so I work with
them as far as l can, approving what
l conscientiously can, criticislng what
Il consider mistaken policies or be-
liefs. but realizing that the whole pro-
cess of human progress is evolutionary
and that the best will prevail if con-
scientious effort marks the endeavors
of men.
1t is the call of the workers, my
friends, l bring to you tonight, those
whom Christ loved, with whom he
lived and worked, and for whom He
suffered and died. And if in my
humble way have done ever so little
to bring to a closer understanding the
great organized forces of labor and
the church, l am glad indeed.

Calvary 10 pay the greatest debt to
mankind ever paid. Did it pay
Christ? 1t may make the modern
church unpopular to offend the sign
of the dollar mark, it may make
martyrs of the men of the church who
tack entrenched privilege. Will it
pay? 1t always pays.
One of the most hopeful signs of
TIC times to me is the fact that men
of the church are awakening to the
sound of the conflict and are coming
nobly to the front. / shall never for
get the ringing declaration of the
Methodist ministers of Seattle in con-
nection with the recent Ballard strike
of single weavers, that human life
and limb were worth more in the scale
of humanity than profits wrenched
from the very life blood Of the work
ers in that industry.
Do not misunderstood me. Though
charge that the power of gold has
sometimes sat enthroned in pulpit and
pew, / would not make that charge
all embracing. Much of the seeming
the labor forces has been due to
misunderstanding of the great indus
trial conflict, a lack of conception of
the social struggle. This is a ma
terialistic world. The problems of
every day life which confront the toll
er are real and vital and he who would
reach him with a message for the
soul, a warning for the hereafter,
must convince him by deeds that he
has taken up the social burden and
will help him to bear it. l believe

church MUST if it is to fulfill its
destiny as a militant power in the

There seems to be no force of Nature

We produce enough to clothe and feed

they all shiftless, INDECENT, unwilling

of people in our own land who ask
nothing more of society than an OPP

In the Early Morning Hours

The Age-Herald trusts that the
street car company will give the owl
cars an extension of 80 days from
March II on the basis of 10 cent
fares. Birmingham is largely city OF
suburbs, all of which are reached by
street cars. When these suburbs know
that owl cars are a fixture they will
assuredly attract people that are now
living against their choice near the
heart of the city.
If the street car company would put
the owl cars on 10 cent basis and
announce their permanence readjust-
ments of the city's population would
take place rapidly. Assurances of per-
manenee are needed in order to bring
this about.
The subject is one that concerns
many people, and in the long run it is
one that would add to the income OF
the street car company. Other cities
of 1901 or 100000 people have such
cars, and President Ford should think
twice before he cuts off the new SER
vice. 1t is greatly needed now and it
would grow in favor as time runs on
until its elimination would be calam-
ity. 1t is hoped that it will be given
= chance to develop itself.

Alfalfa in the Black Belt

The demand for alfalfa is constantly
increasing, and the 16 counties in Ala.
bama's black belt are its natural habi-
tat. This has just been made plain by
the purchase of 5000 acres in Greene
county by James B. Haggin, the
famous race horse owner of Kentucky
Mr.. Haggin proposes to grow on his
new Greene county farm all the alfal-
ia that his big stock farms near Lex
ington, KY, will need. How much
more he will grow remains to be de-
veloped.
The black belt lands of this state
are yearly increasing in value and
they will soon be owned either by act
ual cultivators or by capitalists, both
from the middle west. The movement
is much larger than many dream Of
and it will become great tide within
the next five years. Mr.. Haggin is
well known throughout the country,
and his purchase of Alabama lands
will be heralded far and near.

For the second time within five years
William Fitting, 19 years old, of mast
Williston, had his legs amputated by
a train on the Long Island railroad. The
second accident, however, was harmless.
He saved a woman from sure death by
dragging her off the track, but the train
struck him and he was rolled under the
wheels. His two legs were cut off clean,
but as they were both of wood he was
not badly injured, although more or less
bruised and cut. 1t was four years
since Fitting fell under a train on the
Long Island railroad at Glen Head and
had both his first legs cut off. Recently
he was standing at the Westbury sta
tion of the road, when he saw that
a Polish woman was about to be killed
Fitting hurried to her side and man
aged to push her from the tracks, but,
hindered by crutelies and wooden legs,
he was knocked down and under the
wheels. Bystanders at the station ex-
pected he would be killed, but found
that he had only suffered the loss of his
legs" again.

THE card is really work of art. 1t
is 16 inches in length and is creased for

card proper is a birds eye view of Bir-
mingham. On one of the sections is a
battery of blast furnaces. a scene depict
ing the loading of rails and an ore mining
scene. On another section of the card
is the heart of the business district-a
great skyscraper scene. On the reverse

stautial progress illustrated by figures,
compiled under the auspices of the adver-
tising committee of the Chamber of Com

Conyicts for Road Building

If the state convicts had been en-
ployed in road building instead of in
the coal mines Alabama would have
been known as the leading good roads
state of the south, and more than
that, we would have been spared the
blighting scandal of a heavy defalca-
ton in the convict department.
The jefferson county board of rev.
enue will begin shortly to work the
county convicts on the county roads
and there can be no question about
the good results that will be obtained
from this new policy adopted by the
members of the board in response to a
strong demand on the part of the peo-
pie.
Georgia and North Carolina are
known as the good road states of the
south and the convicts of those states
have been employed successfully in
constructing highways and keeping
them in repair. Fulton county, Geor-
gia, in which Atlanta is situated, has
splendid roads running in every direc-
ton. The city Of Atlanta is well paved
and the roads outside are as hard and
smooth as the streets. Our Jefferson
county is more than six times as large
as Fulton county, Georgia, but it is
reasonable to say that in two or three
years with the convicts working on
the highways, unmacadamized roads
will disappear altogether.
Every county in Alabama should
follow jefferson county's example and
great state highways should be built
by state convicts. The legislature
should enact law forbidding the hire
of convicts to mining companies and
providing that all the convicts work
on the thoroughfares.
Cages will be needed, perhaps, for
the more dangerous of the convicts
employed as road builders, but tents
we'll guarded would do for the ma
jority Of them. With convicts work
ing on the roads the escapes would
not be much more numerous than
they are now at the mining camp
stockades. The sentiment that has
been. developing rapidly against the
state, leasing its prisoners to corpora
tions is becoming well nigh unani-
nous. Well known citizens have
called a conference of the people of
Alabama to meet in Birmingham
April 26 to organize a movement
against the states present convict pol
icy, and it is believed that the at
tendance will be large and repre-
sentative.
Certain it is that no time should
be lost in crystallizing a vigorous
movement for better roads and for
the building of model highways by
convicts.

End of the Hawthorne Trial

The Hawthorne trial which was be-
gun in federal court in New York
city on November 25 is ended, and
Freeman was sentenced to imprison-
ment in the Atlanta penitentiary for
five years, and Hawthorne and Nor
ton were each sentenced to serve one
year and one day in that prison. All
three were found guilty of making
fraudulent use of the mails in ex-
plotting some Canadian ore mines
The mines in question were proven to
be worthless, and yet these defend
ants obtained from the public about
100000 through stock sales in the
so-called Hawthorne properties.
The case has sentimental side to
it, for Julian Hawthorne is the only
son of Nathaniel Hawthorne, who
stands at the head of all American
writer's of fiction. Julian Hawthorne
now an elderly man, is writer of nt
small reputation. He claims to bs
pennilcss. He has large family Of
children, one or two Of whom are alsc

Blobbs hates cigarette. He has an
idea that cigarette smoking is pernl-
cious. deadens the moral sensibilities
and impairs the minds of its victims.
He also has very low opinion of
anyone who smokes cigarettes. If such
a thing were possible, he thinks even
less of person who would smoke a
cigarette than he does of the cigarette
itself.
