LETTERS TO EDITOR
Proposed Musical Association

To the Editor OF The Age-Herald.
For over year the question of the or
ganization of a musical association, the
purpose of which should be to have sew
eral festivals during the year, has been
more or less discussed.
The recent splendid rendition of a por-
tion of the Messiah under the direction
of Rienzi Thomas has renewed interest
in the subject and awakened the music
loving people of Birmingham to the possi-
bilities of great festival chorus.
1t seems to me that the time is ripe
for organization, and plan which would
bring about the desired result could be
set on foot within "a hours. I suggest
the following as a workable proposition:
Let there be incorporated the Birming-
ham Musical association, the capital stock
being $1,000, to be divided into 200 shares
of $40 each. The capital stock could be
increased at WILL but the amount of $1,000
would be sufficient for the first year
The purpose of making the stock $40 per
share is to put it within the reach of
almost any citizen who felt inclined to
help along a good cause and become In
terested In an organization which would
be a credit to the city.
With the $1,000 as a starter the associa-
tion could employ Mr.. Thomas a direc-
tor, provide music and a place for re-
hersals.
Let a chorus be organized from the
various musical clubs. churches or other
organizations, and from individuals who
can sing. Let the annual dues to the
association, to be paid by the singers. be
IS. which is a trilfing amount compared
with the benefit they would derive from
the training in chorus work.
Let the chorus be gotten together and
start work on rehearsals in February and
as soon as they are prepared. let them
give a festival. If this is done, Birming-
ham will be at once in the front rank of
the musical cities of the country. Let
the festivals and concerts be held from
time to time and the results will amaze
us. Surely there are 200 men in the Bir-
mngham district who are public spirited
enough to subscribe $40 each for the pur-

On Monday, December /, 1890, at the
hour of noon. the retiring governor, both
branches of the legislature and the su-

front porch of the capitol to witness the
installation of the governor-elect On the

of their favorite field officer to comman-
der-in-chef. There, too, rested the great
throng of citizens, spectators come from
many counties.
Before making note of the remarkable
inaugural address of the incoming gov
ernor, it must be held in order to place
the plaudit of history upon the record
of outgoing Governor Seay. The south

he left college to enter the ranks of the
Confederate army. Chance led him into

Dad Wasn't Thankful

From the Philadelphia Telegrapn.
They were talking at recent dinner
about the younssters when Senator Dun
can U. Fletcher of Florida was reminded
of a certain small party named Jessie.
One afternoon little Jessie was per-
mitted to visit friend of the family and
stay for dinner. When the dinner hour
came those at the table bowed while the
head of the family proceeded to reverent-
1y say grace.
Evidently the small visitor was not ac-
customed to a ceremony of that kind at
home for she looked from one to the
other with an expression of wonder.

to so days was a limit to 25 days a
year. The restriction of time was in
consistent with the dignity and weight
of the task set before the body The
time limit should be doubled and the
legislator should be paid a fixed and
sufficient salary rather than a per
diem.
The time had not yet arrived to at
tempt to disfranchise the negro by
erecting difficulties across the path to
the polls which muSt obstruct the way
of the white man also. There was once
an objection to the education of the
negro. He was a slave. Now that he
was become freeman. fixed in
habitant of the soil. producer and
consumer of commerce, the argument
for his education had become irresis-
tible.
The movement to amend the state
constitution so as to apportion ap-
propriations for public education of me-
groes by the amount of state taxes paid
by negroes was most unwise. The con-
stitution should be amended. however,
to permit local taxation for purposes
of education.
The courts were continually increas-
ing the number of penitentiary con-
victs The state needed scientific
penology in lieu of q method of lease
for the employment of its felons. The
practice of sentencing to hard labor
for costs of the court trial was equiv
alent to an inequality in the admins
tration of justice that often became
startling In effect.

enclosed the government of the state,
the call had gone forth to which 1922

pose of having good chorus singing, which
would be available for any public occa-
sion. The purpose of this suggestion is
to avoid the necessity of taking up sub
scriptions, or making up deficits which
frequently devolve on a few.
AS to voices, 1 believe that 500 good
ones can be obtained in the district and,
when we have our great auditorium, there
will be many available as there is
space on the stage to seat them. In
connection with the chorus a large or

his education. AS a lawyer he opened
an office in the town of Greensboro, where
he lived and prospered. For eight years
he held a seat in the legislature, and
had been promoted to president of the
senate when chosen governor. His ad-
ministration was intelligent, courageous
and satisfactory to the people.
The incoming governor had been a con-
spicuous figure, in responsible relations
to the public service, from his youth up
ward. He, too, left school to join the
Confederate army. In that service he
rose to military rank exceptionally high
for a soldier of his years. After the
fall of the Confederacy he returned to his
home in Montgomery and rose to leader
ship in the midst of those unparalleled
conditions of society and government, the
story of which stands second in perma
nent importance to none of the annals of
mankind.
Yet a little while longer we defer the
inaugural. What of the people whose
government is now transferred from one
executive head to another-from prede-
cessor so true to successor so jealous of
his own fame?
The insurance business is an accepted
barometer of industrial life in a comrhun-
10 years now closing insurance companies

of 5000, 100000. The receipts of 26 manu-
featuring establishments in the young
town of Birmingham, for the year 1889,
were $4,5O0.OOO; in Mobile, 80 establish
ments of manufacturers had received in
that year $2,225.000 and in Montgomery
% establishments had received more than
81, 100000.
Governor Jones delivered an elab-
crate inaugural address. From the doc
ument we make this extract:
Churches and schools are on the in
crease and there is an earnest and
upward movement of all classes of our
people to improve in those things
which make men wiser and better. Her
mineral wealth. yet undeveloped, has
attracted the attention of the world
and makes it's competition felt through
out the union. Her manufactures are
multiplying" etc. The magnificent pine
forests were Just beginning to supply

orator continued "The races dwell to-

Rev. Horace Stringfellow, rector of
old st. Johns, under whose teaching
the governor had been reared, Of
fered the prayer customary and Chief
Justice Stone administered the oath of
office.
The inaugural covered an extraordi-
narily wide ground for the occasion.
At the outset it attacked the secret
ballot of legislative causus. The repre-
sentative of the ballot box and the
citizen who dominated the ballot box
were respectively classified under our
system of government. Secrecy of the
ballot cast by the citizen and publicity
of the vote of the representative were
the co-dependent factors of that gov
ernment. This was the blunt averment
OF the speaker of the last legislature
who had been nominated to that office
by the secret balloting of the caucus

Will be Long Drawn Out
1t is quite likely that this question
is to be long drawn out; an early de-
cision by the commission cannot be ex-
pected. The shippers are to have their
inning in opposition to the increase,
and Louis d. Brandeis, the Boston at
torney who has made. a study of rail-
road economics has added further to
the complications of the question by
submitting a list of IS questions to be
answered by the railroads, which will
involve considerable delay to allow the
railroads the time to properly prepare
their answers to these interrogatories.
The public is disposed to view all
these mysterious and long -winded pro-
ceedings as irrelevant and immaterial.
AS the public sees it, there is but one
question to be answered, and that is
ought the railroads, in view of the un-
questioned advance in cost of operation,
be allowed to advance their rates per
cent? The only question for the in
terstate commerce commission to decide
demand.
The railroads on their part have made
out a strong case. They have gone
so far as to say that the issr.Y at stake
Is an increase as asked, or, they, cannot
comply with the demands of the public
as to service, and that government
ownership must be the Inevitable re-
suit. because capital cannot be OBJ
tanned.
They do not say these things in so
many words, for government ownership
is distastefu1 to the railroad officials.
as it is to many others. But they point
out that if this increase is not given,
they cannot secure the capital to do the
things required of them. and to meet
and growing conditions to the coun-
try.
Brandeis Against It
Brandeis, who is acting chief counsel
for the commission, is opposed, of
course. to the increase asked for. He
is a lawyer of great ability and once
spoken of. as Attorney General in
President Wilson's cabinet, and in fact,
1t is known that the President Sc
'riously considered his name. But it is
conceded that Brandeis' 'bug" is the
railroads, Just as Untermeyer's bug
is the money devil" He is an able
lawyer. but the question is, is he not
prejudiced against the roads.
1T is a great big question that the
commission has to decide. and one that
may be the drawing of the last nail
that holds back the flood of prosperity
TO the country. or, on the other hand
nip the rising tide and prevent its con-
summation The trouble is. that the
commission is not to settle this ques-

are to settle 1t on the facts presented,
and their decision is not to be reached
In the interest and, for the sake of
immediate conditions. but will be deter

is the question that the interstate COM
