Reserve Board Complete

Now that President Wilson has completed the federal reserve board an appraisement of the entire person. mel will be in order. AS Paul War burg of New York and w. P. G. Hard ing of Birmingham were selected sev- eral weeks ago, the business world has become thoroughly familiar with their exceptionally high records as bank CTS. A. c. Miller of San Francisco whose selection was announced about the same time that MT. Harding was chosen enjoys the reputation of being an able economist.
 The federal reserve board will con- sist of seven members, including the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency, who, according to the banking and currency act, will serve ex officio. The President, therefore, had the selection of five. The two men  very recently announced are not well known to the general public; but as Charles s. Hamlin of Boston is an assistant Secretary of the Treas ury, he is presumably a man of abil- ity in handling financial affairs, and as John D. Jones of Chicago is a prominent lawyer of broad experience, he will fit in admirably.
 Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo is a successful business man on a large scale, and as Comptroller Will Hams has had much practical expe- rience as banker, the board is well l balanced. Men who are supposed to be masters of finance express them selves as particularly we'll pleased at the fact that the President should have been able to find two bankers of the first rank-Harding and War burg-willing to give up large busi- ness interests in order to serve their country on moderate salary. MT. Warburg has been a member of the great banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, and it is said that his income has been not less than $1,000,000 a year. It was a sacrifice, therefore, but he did not hesitate to respond to the Presidents summons. And MT. Harding is making a distinct sacrifice in order to become a member of the board in response to patriotic call
 MT. Warburg is native of Ger. many, and was educated and trained as a banker in the fatherland. MT. Hard ing is recognized as being without { superior in constructive ideas relating to finance. As able as the other mem bers of the board are, it is believed that MT. Harding and MT. Warbure will achieve more fame in their re. serve board positions than any of theil associates. On the whole, it is g strong, representative board, and the country may rest assured that the new currency act will bring all the good expected.

Next House of Representative.

Although I am not a. politician, keep in close touch with various sections Of the country in a business way, thereby learning something of the trend of poll tics,' said J. c. Wormley of Chicago.
 Tn some districts progressives and re- publicans will combine against the demo- cratic candidate for Congress, and I meet many people who seem to think that the democrats will lose control of the House. But l do not see it that way The big democratic majority will be cut down, but there will be a safe working majority in the new Congress.
 If business happened to be at rock bottom, the republicans would use that as an argument against the democrats. The fact is that some of the important business interests are aready preaching hard times for political effect. But busi- ness has been improving steadily for two or three weeks, and a great wave of prosperity will be in evidence when the fall elections are held,'

n me Philadelphia Record.

From the Phf1adelphla Record.
 Carranza has sent one of the best men on his side to the conference at Niagara Falls in the person of Iglesias Calderon. The Marquis as he is called for his dignified bearing is 60 years of age and a scholar. He was senator at the time of the assassination of Madero and was thrown into prison by Huerta (his place of confinement being the fortress of San Juan de Ulloa), whence he was freed at the time of the American occupation of Vera Cruz The worst thing against Cal deron is that he is uncompromisingly a supporter of the presidential aspirations of Carranza

ecclesiastical trials was that of the Seven Rishnns for lihel be-

the Seven Bishops for libel be- June 15, 16ss These bishops were Dr. William Bancroft, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury; Dr. William Lloyd, Lord Bishop of St. Asaph; pr. Francis Turner, Lord Bishop of Ely; Dr. John Lake, Lord Bishop of Chichester; Dr. Thomas Kenn, Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells; Dr. Thomas White, Lord Bishop of Peterbor- ough, and Sir Jonathan Trelawney, baro- net Lord Bishop of Bristol.
 Under the pretense of toleration for dissenters, King James II of England endeavored to remove obstacles from Romanists. He began by issuing on Feb ruary 12, 1887, in Edinburg, a proclama ton granting relief to scupulous con- sciences. Again on April 27, 1888, he pub lished a declaration for liberty of con science. Then an order of council was made commanding that it be read in the time of divine services in all church and chapels in the cities of London and Vest minister on May 20 and 27, and in all other churches throughout England on June and 10.
 Upon receipt of this order the bishops and clergy near London assembled at the archbishop's palace at Lambeth to ad- wise what was proper to be done on this occasion. After some debate. the arch bishop, by the advice of his brethren present, wrote to all the bishops of his province to come to town, or send their opinions of tn matter, and it being found that IS of the bishops and the main body of the clergy concurred in a resolution not to read the declaration, the archbishop and five other bishops.drew up petition to the King begging him not to insist on the reading.
 The King became highly incensed and told the bishops that he expected his command to be obeyed. The bishops withdrew with their petition, and when the King found his declaration had not been carried out, he resolved to prosecute the seven bishops, and they were accord ingly summoned to appear before the council on June s. At the conference the archbishop admitted that he himself had written the petition and that the rest had signed it, whereupon the Lord Chancellor Jeffries demanded that they appear be- fore the court of Kings bench to an- swer the misdemeanor.
 Then Jeffries threatened to send them to the tower unless they withdrew the petition and obeyed the Kings decla- ration. To this the archbishop answer

Business brings me to Birmingham about once month, and every time I come I am impressed with the city's rapid growth" said R. S. Scott of At 1anta, agency director of the North American Accident Insurance company.

CATCHING THE IDEA

From the Selma Journal.
 For long time the Journal has insisted that it was Dallas county that ought to feed Birmingham.
 The Birmingham papers took up the idea and agreed with the Journal that Dallas county could feed Birmingham
 Then it was that J. B. Babb. then sec retary of the large commercial club of Birmingham, came down and made short speech to our people. He said that Dallas county could feed Birmingham and that Birmingham wousd be mighty glad to get just such feeding as Dallas county could give them up there. She is in hilly district, where vegetation cannot be supplied as plentifully as is. actually needed for home consumption.
 But Dallas county has not taken up the idea-she did not catch on" as she might have done but there is another county that has.
 Sumter county, taking note of the news paper discussion and the suggestions of fered, took up the idea that Sumter county could do anything Dallas county could do, and more. uniess Dallas county should hustle. And Sumter county has gone to feeding Birmingham.
 Sumter county towns are keeping up regular fast freight service daily to Br- mingham and the truck farmers are send ing in vegetables by the car lot to the people of the Magic city. The dealers grab them and sell them as fast as they can unload them, thus giving Birmingham daily supplies of fresh vegetables. The idea did not appeal to .5allas county far mers, and now the Sumter county people have taken up the notion and are putting to practical use, making money and giv- ing. the people of Birmingham something good to eat.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF THE SEVEN BISHOPS

ed that they were ready to go wherever his majesty pleased and that they
 hoped the King of Kings would be their
 protector and judge.
 A warrant was therefore drawn up
 and they were committed to the tower.
 As tumult was expected when it was
 known they were to be committed they
 were ordered to be carried to the tower by water. Nevertheless the people l came in crowds to the Thames side, ap-
 plauding the courage of the bishops.
 and wishing them a happy deliverance.
 They were no sooner landed at the | tower than the officers and soldiers of
 that garrison fell upon their knees and begged the blessings of the right reverend fathers.
 They were brought from the tower
 for trial on June 15. and the following four judges were upon the bench: Lord
 Chief Justice Sir Robert Wright Jus tice Holloway, Justice Powell and Jus
 tfce Allybone. The charge that was
 read to them was for: "conniving, mak- ing and publishing a seditious libel in writing against his majesty and the government"
 The bishops counsel requested de- lay in their behalf, but the court would
 only allow them a fortnight. The court convened again on June 25, and tho trial was continued throughout that day
 until the jury retired and remained out all night, returning g. verdict of mot
 guilty" on the following morning. | The verdict was received with uni- versal rejoicing. writer of the pe- riod states: "The very army at Houns- lowheath made the air ring with their shouts; at which his majesty, who was that day in the camp, was perfectly con | founded" The King, to show his rN- septment against the two judges, Sir
 Richard Holloway and Sir John Powell, who had delivered their opinions in
 favor of the bishops, displaced them. By his arrest of the seven bishops and other drastic measures the King had worked himself out of the affections
 of the whole nation. The universities,
 the bishops and clergy; the Parliament,
 nobility and commons; the army and fnavy, all of them appearing eminently | loyal and affectionate to his person at his accession, were, within less than the
 space of four years, so highly exasper-
 ated by his arbitrary administration
 that when an invasion threatened him
 he saw the nation ripe for a general
 revolt and in this distress he applied 10 those bishops whom he had so unjustly
 and ungratefully prosecuted.

A Wheat Raising Campaign

The Alabama department of the South ern Settlement and Development organi- zation is inauguratng a campaign for raising more wheat in Alabama" said Col. N. F. Thompson, state manager of that department.
 Wheat has always been raised in the Tennessee valley and in other parts of north Alabama. but not in any appreciable quantity, due to the fact that raising cotton was more profitable; but in the new movement started by the Alabama Land congress two years ago to have the farmers of Alabama produce what food and forage crops were consumed in the state, and to aid in replacing some of the loss from the ravages of the boil weevil it is designed to urge general planting of wheat throughout the state and give it more than passing atten- ton.
 Alabama was formerly just as good a wheat state as any of those now classed as such, and the fact that there has just been harvested the largest oats crop that has been raised in the state since the civil war indicates that diversified farm ing is taking hold on the farmers of Ala bama. Many leading farmers in the black belt and some in other portions of Ala. bama have signifed their intention of sowing some wheat this fall, and on the result of their enterprise it is quite likely that hereafter this crop will come back to this state and add It's share to the aggregate wealth in the farm produ-ts of Alabama

Many Thriving Industries

Comparatively few of our citizens ap- preciate what steady advance has been made hereabouts in the development of varied industries,'' said Arnold Masburg.
 Although there was a recession in in- dustrial operations throughout the coun- try early in the year the Bir- minsham district has been reasonably prosperous and now that prosperity gen. orally is materializing industrial activity will be in evidence here during the sum mer.
 Among the Birmingham industries especially thriving is that of cast iron pipe. But anyone who looks over North Birmingham will find many industries besides cast pipe run at full capacity. Birmingham has many sections in which mills and factories are in operation year in and year out, but few equal North Birmingham perhaps in this respect

Sleeves are set i'll to drop shoulder and finished with a broad turn-back cuff which may be brought down to the hand or turned back to about three-quarter length.

4 MONO the thoroughly practical fab "A rics used for travelling coats wool ratine has made a permanent place for itself. It is becoming fabric light in weight and unmussable. A coat made from it by Herbert, Paris, is pictured here and is an excellent model for travelling or general utility.
 All travelling coats should be ample as to length and width and cut on straight-hanging lines. The adjustment at the shoulder and the management of the sleeves are items upon which they depend for style. Now that capes of all kinds are fashionable number of coats have been produced by de- signers with q short cape attached. They are becoming to the slender fig ure, and in some cases amount to a separate garment, as they are detach- able. This makes them especially at tractive where the journey brings one into quick changes of temperature.
