route feel grievously disappointed, for as The Age-Herald pointed out several weeks ago, many automobile tourists from the north will come south by one route and return by another. They are out for pleasure and will try to see as much of the country as possi- ble.
 Most of them will visit Birmingham going and coming, but thousands of tourists will make side excursions no matter which main line they may be travelling Florence, Huntsville and Gadsden will all be alive with auto mobile parties from the north.
 There is promise of much touring in this direction during the coming win ter, but it will be year or two before all the highway links are completed and the necessary bridges built. It is safe to assume that by the winter of 1917-1S Birmingham will be the most popular tourist center between the Ohio river and New Orleans.

--'e'------------------ AN AMERICAN MEDICI

From the Boston Herald.
 One of the great art patrons of Amer lea has passed away. The grandfather of the young man whose death was the means of securing a great library for Harvard university Peter A. B. Widener made such a distinguished collection of masterpieces and housed them in such splendid gallery that even a Medici of the golden age of Florence would hardly have excelled him. Boston has the Italian Freer gallery of Whistlers New York has the Prick paintings and Philadelphia has had this discriminating buyer whose mu- niflcence was only rivaled by Mir Alt man and MT. Prick. For the outstanding pieces in his galleries-Re embrandt's '"rhe Mill" Botticellis Madonna of the Thorns," Raphaels Madonna delle Vil- lanella," the seven Van Dykes, Monets Dear Toreador,' and few others-Mr. Widener expended huge sums Many schools and periods were represented upon the walls of Lynnewood. It was all together to the credit of this lover of pictures that he employed consider able part of fortune secured by his own efforts in their acquisition, and we hope that the rumor long current in Phiadel- phia that some arrangement would be made to give the general public access to the collection will now be verified

The Jackson Highway

The route of the Jackson highway south of Tennessee will probably be through Alabama, rather than Missis- sippi. State Engineer Keller, who accompanied the pathfinders' commit tee through Alabama, feels quite con- fident that the final decision to be made by the board of directors of the Jackson Highway association at a meeting in Nashville November Is twill be in favor of this state.
 While road conditions are far from good in some of the Alabama counties, it is found that they can be brought up to d high standard at much less expense that the roads in Mississippi. In other words, the highways through the heart of Alabama-via Birming- ham, Montgomery and Mobile-are in better shape than the roads through the greater part of our sister state.
 But no matter what the decisions of the board of directors may be, this Jackson highway project has given a renewed impetus to the whole question of road making in the two states com peting for the southern end of the route. Assuming that the award will come to Alabama, Mississippi need not feel sore. Neither should any of the Alabama towns not on the official

Culpable Waste in England

With all the staggering troubles that have afflicted the British gov ernment-m military blunders, tremend- ous losses in battle, dissention among statesmen-a financial crisis, accord ing to Premier Asquith's adminsion, is now being faced.
 The war is costing England at the rate of $21 100000 a day. The total government expenditures of 9743,- 000,000, equal to $3,715,000,00O, from April 1 to November 6, included 917,- 300,000 used for munitions for army and navy, and 498,300,0 ,000 for loans to the allies. The rest was for mis- cellaneous purposes. MT. Asquith states that the expenditures continue to increase.
 The House of Commons has voted a new credit of 9400, ,000, 000-$2, 900, 900, ,O0O-but at the rate the money is going this amount will be exhausted early in the new year.
 One of the causes contributing to the governments grave financial situation has been extravaganza, or as some of the government $ critics state it is plainly crim- inal waste. There are hints of scan- dals in the contract department of the war office. Of course no one questions for moment the absolute Integrity of the men in high position, but there has been lack of proper supervision; a woeful lack of econ omy. It is said that interruptions con- tractors have accumulated piles of money by taking advantage of the government. If probe is ever made it will be found that from the begin- ming of the war the waste and leaks alone will total several billion dol lars.
 The British people revel in statis- tics and in no country is scientific ac- counting more generally practiced than it is in England. In view of the bitter attacks on the government by members of both houses of Parlia- ment, one might think that Mir. As quith would take steps without delay to have the leaks stopped. Conditions in Great Britain cannot long continue as they are, and no one is in a posi- ton to appreciate the situation so well as the prime minister.

different class. These are not dis tressed or driven away by our made quate representation of God, yet they have never taken the conventional steps allying themselves with Chris tian forces. They bear all the gra- cious fruits of the Christ life, yet they cannot be placed among the de- nominations. Shall we, then, regard them as knowing nothing of the saliva tion of God? Oh, no. Let us walk delicately in their presence, for the Lord has been before us. He has wrought in the night, away from the eyes and the ears of men. These are His children, though even they may know it not. By their fruits ye shall know them"

The Moral Man

We have talked ad infinitum about the inability of morality to save a man.
 Of course this is true, for morality is not the cause or ground of saliva tion, strictly speaking, but the effect. Salvation is of God. It is His free gift wrough by His divine power. It requires nothing less than the creative power of God to change a human heart, to make it good instead of bad, to give it victory over sin, to give it a lasting ideal of holiness. This God will do for any of His creatures who will accept the gift. When, through faith, God has been allowed His way with the heart, then morality begins to result.
 It is true, also, that there may be morality which is entirely outward. A person may observe all customary decorum, and still at heart be un- sound, unkind and untrue. Such a man would surely be out of harmony with all good conscience and with God Himself.
 There is morality, moreover, which falls tragically short of the requirements God makes of His chil- dren, and which we in our better moments make of ourselves. A man may pay his debts, do no murder, covet not his neighbours wife, and yet be all ignorant of those lovely heights to which God beckons us. Sympathy, humility, unselfishness, noble, out going love, passion to be pure-all these may be paradises untried. And, of course, no one of us has them eX- cept in part; but "a mans reach must exceed his grasp" What he would his ideal, his dream-measures him. And now to the other side. We must remember that there are men, multitudes of men, growing multitudes of men, who love God and Christ, but not our God and our l Christ. Our presentation. our life, our churches, it may be, they will none of. What poor spectacle we sometimes make, telling our sorry
 tale of the Lord, and then condemn ing men if they do not accept. Oh, if we could but tell the story as it is, if we could hold Him up in His true essence, the ends of the earth would heave to His following, and the ancient seas would leave their beds.

A Democratic Emperor

Although the coronation ceremonies of Emperor Yoshihito of Japan are redolent of antiquity and to the aver age newspaper reader accounts of the gorgeous assemblies which have waited on his majesty in the past few days, clad in the garments of old Japan and carrying out the rites of an ancient faith, seem apart from this modern world, the Japanese Emperor is really democratic man. He is a his subjects by skill in simple arts. The older and more conservative Japa- nese, who look on the Emperor as of divine origin, are slow to believe that he is proficient in French, enjoys a game of billiards and occasionally wears sack suit.
 Yoshihito likes to saunter through a public thoroughfare in Nikko, or else where, attended by only two members of his household On such occasions he stops frequently to gaze into shop window, is passed unrecognized by hundreds of his subjects, and makes his purchases, if he so desires, without any of the ceremony which attends him on many of his public appear ances. An ordinary sack suit of west ern make, and Panama hat seems a strange costum for Japanese Empe- TOT to wear but Yoshihito has broken more than one century-old precedent since he attained his majority at the age of IS.
 Not very long ago the Japanese people were forbidden to gaze on their monarch. When he passed through the streets houses were closed and barred and windows darkened. The inhabitants of a town visited by his majesty prostrated themselves in si- lent homage. But Yoshihito unites in his person the old and new Japan. Although his coronation adheres to the ancient ideas of religion and royalty in Japan the Emperor is man of pro- gressive ideas who gladly avails him. self of opportunities to acquire foreign knowledge.

YORK RITE REUNION

From the Nashville Tennessean.
 A dispatch from Birmingham states that that the York Rite Masons of that state will hold a three-days' reunion, be- ginning Wednesday. This appears to be an innovation so far as York Rite of Fremasonry is concerned. The Scottish Rite has, since its establishment, brought its membership together for the confer ring of degrees and aesoter.c fellowship The result has been that the Scottish Rite has increased rapidly, and somewhat at the expense of the higher bodies of the older rite. York Rite Masonry is prop erly conservative. but 1t may have gone to the extent of too great conservatism Certainly, there are many York Rite Mssons who will be pleased to know that their brethren of Alabama have begun movement to bring the membership in the state together in the comforting of degrees

 Shelby County Sun: After the war doubtless the European governments will go into the moving picture business and recuperate their losses rapidly.
 Florence Times: A great state like Ala bama should not be brought to the verge of bankruptcy by the inefficiency of it's lawmakers This doubtless is the feeling of thousands of school teachers through out the state who, serving at low wages, fail to get their money when it is due.

The first Sunday afternoon musicale or the season will take place in the ballroom of the Tutwiler a week from today, when Albert Spaldng, violin virtuoso, and Frederick Gunster, tenor, will appear in joint recital There will be four musi- cales in all and the price of the season ticket is the same as usual-S5; each ticket admitting two persons. Oliver Chalifoux, who has charge of the ticket sale, announces that only. a few remain ursoId.
 ''The Sunday concerts were started sev- eral years ago by Mrs. Aldrich,'' said MT Chalifoux, ''and they have done a great deal to advance the cause of good music The high standard set by Mrs Aldrch has been strictly maintained, and music lovers look forward with delight to each entertainment.

 Judge Williams is making good said Mr. Waddell. "He has method of dispatching business which is not only effective but plaesing. He is clear ing the congested dockets rapidly, and untying old tangles which have for many years existed.
 Governor Henderson is to be con graduated on his appointment Judge Sollie, as is known, resigned sometime ago, and there were a number of appl1- cants for his position.
