Welcome to the Passenger Men

The Southeastern Passenger asso-
citation which convenes here this morn
ing is made up of men of tried ability,
and among them are some of the most
representative citizens of this section.
General passenger agents, district pas
senger agents and division passenger
agents will be here, and every one OF
these officials has obtained his posi-
ton by reason of talent and faithful
service.
In days gone by railroad men were
frequently advanced on account of
their social connections. Preferment
was the result of "influence." 1t is
not so now. In these days merit alone
counts. All the passenger officials at
this Birmingham meeting have made
good" with the lines they represent,
and their future rise will depend upon
their brains and energy.
Birmingham welcomes the passen-
ger men. This is the largest meeting
they have held here. This city is not
only in the south geographically
speaking, but it is distinctly southern
in all those fine elements of hospital
ity. May our visitors not only find Bir-
mingham all that had been expected,
but it is hoped that they will feel it
worth while to advertise it in all their
various channels of publicity as a
/ tourist city as we'll as an industrial
center.
At any rate Birmingham extends
the right hand of fellowship to the
Southeastern Passenger association.

SHERIDAN AND WILDE

From the Baltimore Evening sun.
witnessing a revival of one of Oscar
Wilde's comedies, after an interval OF
well over a decade since the first produce
tion naturally raises the question whether
his contributions to dramatic literature
are possessed of the quality of perna-
nence Probably the best answer to this
question is a consideration of the fact
that Sheridan's plays have stood the test
of time, and that the gulf 'twixt them
and those of Wilde is not such very
broad one Both men portrayed, after
quite a similar fashion, the ultra-smart
society of the English upper class, and
both men were personally acquainted with
the society they portrayed. The plays of
each are in a way essentially the prod
ucts of their respective times, plays of the
day; but they are also the plays of men
with an Unborn dramatic instinct. In the
writing of brilliant, polished and cpl
grammatic dialog Sheridan excelled his
fellow dramatists, as did Wilde. Their
dialogue has more than the sparkle of the
effervescent champagne of wit, it has
that permanent sparkle of the jewels Of
wit. In this is to be found the lasting
quality in the writings of the two men. is

THE ADJUSTABLE COCKTAIL

Manhattan, Martini, vermouth cock
tails and few others, including New
Orleans cocktail which cannot be pro-
nounced after the second order are reg
ularly procurable But the cocktail in its
broader aspects is topical drink As
soon as any person or event gets upon
the tip of the public tongue there follows
cocktail named in honor of the event
or the celebrity. Everyone who IS I'M
wise enough to have drunk cocktails for
the past 20 years, and who has proved by
his survival his fitness for that hazard
Gus form of indulgence, has drunk them

Russell, Vice President Fairbanks, Col

Carrie Nation and hundred men, wom-

rences or places. And each has con-
tanned a chemical constituent not, as
proved by flavor, found in others. Aside
from these nationally, popular cocktails
there are inrumerable adaptations of the
drink named for prominent patrons of
the bars at which they are served.
What drink mixers put into cocktails
to modify them to meet every demand,
drink mixers alone know. What robbery
of the pharmacopoeia is practiced when
misleading titles are bestowed upon cock
tails nobody upon the consumers side of
the bar can guess. The means by which
new cocktail is invented as often as
the occasion presents itself is an Aineri-
can mystery. But the habitual consumer
is no more exacting about the ingredients

quality of the latest musical comedy

The Panama.Pacific Exposition

The Panama Pacific exposition at
San Francisco will be opened In Feb
ruary next, and will continue to the
end of the year. Despite the war
most of the European nations Will be
represented and some of them by ex-
ceptionally large and attractive ex-
hibits; and South American coun-
tries, notably Argentina, Brazil ana
Chile. are installing displays that VIII
cause the world to marvel.
OF course, the United States govern
ment has taken an especial interest IN
the exposition and exhibits from the
Smithsonian institution will be OF rare
educational value. Nearly every state
in the union will have a building on
the exposition grounds and the re-
sources of various SECTIONS of the
country will be exhibited in great
variety.
Only three states have failed to
make the necessary appropriation Tor
representation at the exposition, and
Alabama is one of them. The other
two are Rhode Island and New Mexico.
The absence Of Rhode Island will not
be especially remarked, neither Will
the absence of New Mexico cause
much comment. But Alabama, which
has been advertised in recent years
as state whose resources are I'M
commonly varied and rich, not to have
a building at San Francisco would
certainly be unfavorably commented
upon.
When the legislature now about to
expire was in session the exposition
project was not far enough advanced
to be seriously considered, but it will
be time perhaps for Alabama to erect
an adequate building if the new legis-
lature makes an appropriation early
IN January. AS The Age-Herald
pointed out few days ago retrench-
ment will be in order, but it will be
false economy to let the exposition
matter go by default. Alabama should
have a building at the exposition and
it should be handsome one. The
state archivist should be called upon
TO make an historical exhibit and the
agricultural department should make
a full exhibit of farm products. The
large corporations could be counted
upon to send specimens of mines and
mills to San Francisco for display IN
on Alabama building. 1t is hoped this
question will receive prompt attention
when the legislature meets.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
IN HE federal government conducted
long and celebrated inquiry to find
i out the answer to the question:
What is whisky? Probably nobody would
have the courage to try to find out what
is a cocktail.
The advent of the Tipperary cocktail
calls attention anew to the nature of the
most popular drink in the American list
of intoxicators. Many men who have had
a wide and deep experience will declare
In haste that the cocktail is not the most
popular drink But they must consider
how womanlxind is lured by highly col
ored drink with a swedish taste and
with, perhaps. a pretty red glucose cherry
or a real olive at the bottom. The cherry
or the olive as the case may be, is q
reward for getting to the bottom of
beverage which represents the materia
medica as fully as the distillery. and
seems to have in it a dose of pretty nearly
everything save a cure for the headache
an evenings dalliance with it entails
The beauty of the drink Is compared with
the LONELINESS of the more honest high
hall; its subterfuge as against the frank
ness of whisky straight, which makes no
pretense of being anything but the read

fore tabooed with careful femininity,

tons the tipple of women who like So

are striving to become the equals of men

proud of prowesssat little tables, although
not. of course, at the unaesthetic bar

Lord Kitchener is criticized by the edi-
tor Of American Medicine for reintroduc-
| ing during his rule in Egypt the ancient
custom of having BARRIERS serve as adj
junets to the medical profession. The ed
| itor of American Medicine does not think
that the BARRIERS who at present ply their
trade in Egypt are intellectually capable
of doing what Lord Kitchener seems to
expect of them. He writes: Lord
Kitchener has inaugurated the plan
of using the BARRIERS of Egypt as
vaccinators, sanitary inspectors, report
ers of infectious diseases, and also to
render first aid and to treat simple COM
plants That is a rather large order,
and assumes a higher grade of education
and intelligence than the barber possesses
in any part of the world, especially
among the stupid peasantry of Africa
did all the surgery. he went through a
long apprenticeship, and as far as we
know he was a man of more than usual
|
ability At present the barber is able to
perform his work after a very short APP
premiership, and needs no education
whatever He seems to get as large
use of the three Rs to him? The result is
that we have a body of artisans who,
with some exceptions are not capable of
being trained to do these various other
things. Still If Kitchener succeeds with his
peasants Europeans also should. There
is really no reason why the barber should
not add to his income by taking up side
lines except surgery, and they are deal
ing with too many skin infections to be
trusted as yaccinators. 1t would attract
higher grade of men to the calling and
perhaps we would contract fewer in
fections in barber shops. Nor can we e
any public necessity for utilizing either
BARRIERS in surgery or pharmacists in
medicine, and the drift of the evolution
of civilization seems to be leaving them
the prdcllce OF lnelr limited specldltleS
and nothing more. In spite of this drift
there are not a few physicians who have
advocated third profession somewhat
similar to the chemists of Europe, who
occupy a decidedly higher position than
the drug sellers, who are not permitted
to compound prescriptions, and can be
trusted in minor illnesses. If we really
need such an adjunct profession the col
leges can supply the men and after
proper course of study can issue linn
tied degree as they already do to doctors
oe public health. We can at least give in
struction to BARRIERS to avoid infection,
even if they never can do phlebotomy

When WIN the War End.

THE consensus of opinion on the war
and when it may end inclines more and
more to the idea that peace negotiations
will be started in the coming spring, If
not earlier, said Henry j. Raymond of
Washington, D. C.
Two months ago everybody, or nearly
everybody, said that the war would last
two or three years. Some of us took our
cue from Lord Kitchener, who said that
the war would last Is months, and later
in a speech in the House of Lords, he
said it would last three years or more.
But Lord Kitchener had purpose in
saying what he did, and even If he were
perfectly sincere he is not infallible.
II find many persons who agree with
me that peace, negotiations are likely to
begin within the next few weeks"

Another Revolution

A recent Associated Press dispatch
from Boston reads: "Nightshirts are
to be worn tonight by inmates of the
state prison in Charleston for the first
time, it is said, in the history of penal
institutions. Sixteen hundred of them
are ready for distribution among the
prisoners, each of whom will receive
two"
No doubt protest will be made in
some quarters that such coddling OF
prisoners must stop. Nightshirts, for
sooth, and two apiece! Ere long the
facetious saying, "a prison with al
the comforts of home;" or, better still
"all the comforts of first class
hotel" will have considerable basis
for truth. "Why not go step further
and provide each prisoner with two
suits of silf pajamas ?" perhaps some
wag will ask.
Seriously, it is curious to note that
the mere act of providing convicts
with such a necessary garment as a
nightshirt should be deemed worthy
of remark and be preceded by the
statement that this is believed to be
the first time it has been done in the
history of penal institutions. But we
are living in progressive age. Prison
reforms are being made on an ex-
tensive scale. Humanity is being lifted
out of the darkness into the light by
kindness instead Of being forced into
deeper degradation by the brutal, i'm
personal treatment of prison officials
A nightshirt is not an esthetic gar
ment. 1t lacks grace and symmetry, il
the more pleasing acceptation of thos,
terms, and it is viewed with profount
contempt by the man who wears pa
jamas, but it is serviceable carmen
and who can say what Improvement
in mind and heart may not be wrought
among prisoners by having night
shirts to sleep in? 1t may mark tn,

sleep more comfortable, his bed more
clearly. Without proof to the contrary
the nightshirt may be considered al
important factor in the "uplift."

From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
TIME size of the delegation that ap-
peared before the rivers and har-
i bors committee of the House in
support of the Muscle Shoals navigation
and power project, described by experts
as the greatest engineering plan since the
Panama canal, indicates the strong feel
ing in the south for q. more constructive
attitude toward the improvement Of
rivers.
Eight years were consumed in the in
vestigation by the army engineers into
this project, and the fact that so small
a part of the financial burden is to be
borne by the government makes 1t GER
tain that there is neither pork nor inn
pulsiveness in the demand of the south
for action at the present session of Con-
gress.
Witnesses pointed out that the naviga-
ton of the TENNESSEE at Muscle Shoals
will mean real competition between water
transportation and rail transportation. 1t
will mean a reduction of freight rates. 1t
will mean that the government Is to inn
prove navigation and at the same time
confer great benefit upon the south.
