The Senatorial Vacancy

1t had been the opinion of The Age
Herald that the governor of Alabama
had the right under the seventeenth
amendment to appoint United States
senator to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Joseph T. John
ston. The Senate committee on privi=
leges and elections met yesterday and
decided by a vote of seven to three
to recommend that Blair Lee of Mary
land be seated, and by vote of nine
to one to report adversely on the
credentials of the governor of Ala
bama's appointee.
The committee will report tomor
row its decisions in the two cases,
and the Senate will adopt the recon-
mendations. The Maryland democrat
who is to be seated was elected in
senatorial primary called by Governor
Goldsboro.
1t now becomes the duty of the
governor of Alabama either to order
an election for senator to fill the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Johnston or to call the legislature in
extraordinary session to provide for
an election to fill the vacancy.
Alabama should not be deprived of
a senator. The senator to be elected
for a full term will not take his seat
until March, 1915. In the meantime
questions of great Importance to the
democratic party and to the nation
will come up in the Senate for con-
sideration.
The governor Of Alabama should
take action without unnecessary
delay.
A senator to fill the short term
should be elected in the April pri-
mary.

Robert E. Lee

Tomorrow will be observed by leg
islative enactment in Alabama and
most of the other southern states as
the anniversary of the birth of Robert
E. Lee, the south's greatest general.
Throughout the civil war Lees
nobility of character had impressed it
self upon everyone who saw him or
who had official communication with
him. The Confederate army con-
tanned the flower and chivalry of the
south. No military forces were ever
officered by men of finer courage or
better military training. But in the
galaxy of generals, lieutenant gen.
erals, major generals and brigadier
generals, Lee stood above them all.
He was the matchless warrior, and
the quiet dignity which he maintained
at Appomattox endeared him to all
the world.
Northern men criticised many of
the southern generals as did southern
men criticise many of the northern
generals, but it was rare indeed, even
while sectional bitterness remained,
to hear an unkind word about the
great commander of the army of
northern Virginia.
Lee died in 1870, and as time goes
on the glory of the noble chieftain
increases. The south has no more
ardent eulogists of Lee than may be
found now in the north. A writer
in one of the recent encyclopedias
closes his article thus:
"Lee is generally regarded by mill
tary critics as the greatest loaAor N
either side during the civil war, and
one of the greatest leaders of the nine
teenth century in this country. His
greatness, however, was a greatness
Of character even more than of abil-
ity; and in many respects he reminds
one of Washington"

This communication was received re-
Gently by Miss S. n. Richardson, execu-

OF Design, at the same time that bronze
duck Gle CanardO, by Mile Jane Poupe-
let, the French sculptor, which had been
mysteriously removed from the exhibition
of the Academy of Design, was returned.
The academy advertised for the lost
work of art. Offering liberal reward.
AS result this letter was received a few
days ago.

While Miss Richardson was busy in her
office woman came to the window and
handed in something wrapped in copy
of the New York Call. When she turned
to open it the woman had gone Unfold
ing the paper, Miss Richardson discovered
the appreciative remarks about the duck

Then the duck was disclosed.

tened down with wires later in the day
and was again on view after it's brief and

CROWS AS TRACK SCAVENGERs

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
As unique crew of track cleaners and
police as could be found anywhere is en-
listed in the service of the Southern Pa
cific railroad. The members are neither
Americans nor foreigners 1t is crew of
crows.
The big black birds built their nests
near Hornbrook, Ore, on the northern di-
vision of the road, of which d. w. Camp
bell is superintendent. They have be-
come fat and sleek living off the gen.
erosity of tourists and of dining car en-
ployes.
When the trains arrive at Hornbrooll
the crows leave their roosting places and
circle above the depot. As the limiteds
pull out the birds follow ther for five or
six miles. Scraps are thro IN to them,
and they devour every bit, policing the
tracks, and acting as scavengers. The
section hands and other employees of the
road realize the value of these birds and
keep them from being molested. Trains
crossing the Great Salt Lake are followed
by sea gulls, the latter like crows, feast
ing on scraps thrown from the diners
In a similar way the great lakes are
patrolled by white winged gulls. The
government protects them, appreciating
the work they do in following the ships
or lowering over the fishing grounds and
keeping the waters free of pollution.

The South's Worst Enemy

We're an artist asked to depict an
allegorical presentation of the south S
greatest menace, he could not better
comply than by portraying man with
a gun. Not the man who is seeking
to slay his fellow being, abhorent as
such a creature is, but the sportsman
or hunter with his trousers IN his
boots, his cap awry, pipe IN his
mouth, a swagger in his gait and his
weapon across his shoulder as he
saunters on in search of feathered
game.
1t is true that not many .insectlver-
Gus birds are slaughtered for food
purposes, but they are slaughtered
wantonly and in sufficient numbers to
make their reduction in numbers
probably the greatest evil with which
the farmer has to contend.
The insectiverous bird is the enemy
of the boil weevil and the boil weevll
is an agricultural curse, an incubus
which hangs over the farmers exist
ence and the more to be dreaded be-
cause it is not seen.
For four years have we been con-
tinuously afflicted with this pest and
its ravages in that time have recently
been set forth by Director W. j. Har-
ris of the census bureau, United States
department of commerce.
The figures are astounding and
wellnigh incredible, for the directors
statement shows that the boil weevil
has cost the south 100000 bales of
cotton direct. This loss, valuing the
bale at the minimum amount of $50,
aggregates $500,O00,000.
This is the direct amount, and by
direct we mean the loss actually sus-
tanned by the devastation of the pest.
When we attempt to estimate the loss
by considering the reduction of acre
age through fear of the boil weevil
and the consequent diminution of pro-
duction of the staple we wander into
the incalculable, seek to enter the
realm of the impossible.
Every insectiverous bird slain is a
contribution to this devastation and
every so-called sportsman who Stays
such bird is an enemy to the farmer
and a menace to the progress, the
increment and the aggrandizement Of
the south. He is an outlaw, a man
without a country and merits the con-
sideration, or lack of consideration.
that such a creature should receive.

med BRACE TALKS ABOUT POLITICS.
AND THE PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER

II has been very amusing to this writer
to read over number of letters ad-
dressed to The Age-Herald thanking
it for its fairness in reports of political
speeches.
The Age-Herald is above all things
newspaper 1t seeks to print all of the
news of a political nature as well as
any other nature.
It merely confines itself to clean news
and news which can be read in the house
holds of its subscribers.
The readers of a newspaper want to
hear all sides of all questions, and the
first duty of a newspaper and the reporter
OF a newspaper is to report all things ac-
curstely which have a real news value
and which appeal to those interested in
human events and governmental and gen.
era happenings.
Naturally The Age-Herald expresses
itself in its editorial columns as to men
and measures which it believes most
conducive to the upbullding of it's terri
tory and the country generally, but it

OF the II witnesses in this wonderful
case, only three really gave any damag-

Another Building Year

The year 1913 made a high record
in Birmingham in the matter of large
construction. More costly buildings
were erected last year than in any
previous year.
Office buildings, hotels and mills
involving an enormous outlay of capi-
tai have been reared. In view of the
great number of handsome buildings
nearing completion, some persons may
think that 1913 will not be duplicated
this year. But if it is not, it will
come near it.
Architects are busy right now MAX
ing designs for scores of elegant
buildings, and before the year is half
ended it is probable that new high
record in Birmingham's building activ-
tiles will be in sight.

Whence This Terpsichorean Gypsy

In the far east occurs most singu-
lar phenomenon of nature inasmuch
as many of its large rivers emerge
suddenly from the earth full fledged
and in full tide, and after an ephe-
neral occurs disappear just as sud-
denly into the ground whence they
came.
This curious natural phenomenon
has a similtude in history. Many
centuries ago there sprang into ex-
istence in Provence band of singers
who strolled through the country liv-
ing by their melodies and charming
by their lays. They were the trouba-
dours of the south who were immedi-
ately followed by the trouveres of
northern France and the minnesingers
of Germany. In less than two centuries
troubadour, trouvere and minnesinger
had completely disappeared, their 60
ing being as mysterious as was their
advent.
And now, as these rivers and sing
ers, comes the tango, a bewildering,
fascinating, assertive poetry of mo-
tion that has captivated people upon
both sides of the Atlantic. Cardinals,
bishops, priests and ministers have
inveighed against it and protested,
but they have protested in vain. On
ward sweeps the dance in its con-
quest brooking no opposition, defying
criticism and rejecting compromise.
Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of the
late j. P. Mrogan, has endeavored to
denaturc the tango with a number of
sdon'ts;" don't wriggle the shoulders;

By Arthur Grissom.
He wrought with patience long and weary
Upon his masterpiece entitled "Fate,"
And dreamed sweet dreams, the while he

And gave his work his soul. his strength,

His task complete at last, he had no fears
The world would not pronounce mis- genius

But poor, unknown-pray what could he
create?
The mad world laughed, and gave not
praise, but jeers.
Impelled to ask wherein his work was

He sought, despairing, one whose art was
dead,
But on whose brow were werathed the

LOCATING PEORIA

From Golfers Weekly.
The appointment of Henry NJ. Pindell,
an Illinois newspaper man, as minister
TO Russia by President Wilson, has great
ly offended a large number of eastern
new spapers, who cannot imagine why IAN
obscure country editor should be lifted
from the unknown region or settlement,
whatever it is. called Peoria, and sent to
represent the nation in one of the five
great embassies"
The greatest fault with central Illinois,
and particularly the region around Pc
oria, has always been it's obscurity.
When Abraham Lincoln waded out of
Old Salem and Springfield, 50 miles south
Of Peoria, into the Presidents chair, the
affsii nearly created a scandal in New
York.
When John Hay, who lived 100 mud
bespattered miles west of Peoria, went to
England as minister. these same people
were greatly shocked.
When Clark z. Carr of Galesburg, SO
miles north, went away as minister to
Denmark, he had to get ar atlas and a
magnifying glass and show where he
lived before the eastern editors would
believe it.
SO did e. II. Conger, who recklessly
vent as minister to China from the same
fiyspecll.
Adlai Stevenson, who lives 40 miles east
cf Peoria, and William j. Bryan, who
wes born 60 miles southwest, suffer tre-
mendously from this obscurity; while Rob-
ert G. Ingersoll and Robert ]. Burdette,
both of whom concealed themselves on
Peoria newspapers at one time, We're
never able to make much headway be-
cause of this fact.

obscurity of central Illinois 1t is rapidly
