0OMPARATIvELY few of the roofs
Z of Birmingham houses are util-
izec as they might be for dining
and dancing and living during the
summer.
There's a very distinctive atmosphere
to dancing nearer the stars it is even
better than dancing in an open pavil-
ion on the ground. though that in itself,
is a very delightful pastime during the
sultry season of the year.
Dancing al fresco" as some one has
expressed it, has distinction all its own;
If you've tried it, you don't need to be
told; it really is quite different, but if
you haven't you might avail yourself of
the privilege of accepting one of the nice
invitations sent out by the Ridgely and
see see for yourself.
People who attend the dances on the
roof there, are quite enthusiastic about
it. and as far as | know, it is the only
roof in Birmingham which makes any
pretense to the metropolitan idea.
OF course, there's somebody behind
this attractive scheme and as might we'll
be supposed, it is a woman; women US
ually think of the artistic, pretty, unus-
ual things-don't you thinlk-more quick
ly than men?
Anyway, in this case, the credit goes
to Mrs. Ada Edmunds Camp, whom every
one at the Ridgely knows, and better
still, whom every one likes.
Mrs. Camp. who has been connected
with the management of the Ridgely for
more than a year and half, combines
very happy mixture of practical con-
mon sense and artistic judgment as we'll ;
her success at the Ridgely is an inspira-
ton to any woman who has ever thought
of taking up Housekeeping" as pro-
fession: the possibilities are limitless; the
old-fashioned idea that housekeeping for
big hotel or an apartment house or
anything of that sort, meant just drudg-
cry, is past and gone; of course there
are the hundred and one disagreeable
things that tome up every day and sheets
and towels and pillow cases and-dirt-
spell a large part of the daily routine,
but nowadays a professional housekeeper

Republican statesmanshlp.

The Republicans, if they return to
complete control, will but repeat their
past performances when in control by
supporting the government in gener-
Gus fashion. A striking feature of their
record in Office is that they have never
been cheeseparers. At every step since
the Civil war when responsibility rest.
ed on them they have provided the
government with all the money neces.
sary to it's development; and while at
times the amounts have appeared
large, events have always justified the
large purposes proclaimed. If we have
not in every case received the full
worth of our money, the blame has
seldom rested on the congress that
made the appropriation.

SETTLE THE TARIFF
Real Issue That Is Before the
Country.
Democrats Have UnexampIed oppor-
tunity Of Benefiting the Nation il
They Take q Wise and
Statesmanlike View.

A stalwart Democratic newspaper
recently suggested that in these times
of world upheaval, when the national
safety and Industrial security are the
chief issues of the Republican party
might perform disinterested service
by joining with the Democrats in
nominating President Wilson. While
the suggestion was not taken seriously
by the Republicans, there is in 1t a
germ of thought which the Democrats
themselves might well develop with
profit to the nation.
1t is true that economic as we'll aG
political conditions are changing
throughout the world. This is hardly
the time for narrowness or petty po-
litical prejudices. 1t is time for the
settlement of great issues and prin-
ciples rather than the enhancement Of
the political fortunes of any particular
leaders.
While it is hardly to be expected
that there will be any crumbling OF
party lines, the Democratic organiza-
ton could show its patriotism and
broad-mindedness by eliminating the
tariff from the campaign. This is the
great issue Of industrial safety and it
is matter affecting the prosperity
and happiness of all citizens. The only
obstacle to permanent and construc-
tive tariff policy is the historic atti-
tuGe of the Democratic party in favor
of tariff for revenue only, which in
the past three years has been shown
to be a complete failure.
The Democratic platform contains
a number Of protection p!anks; there
is Endorsement of antidumping bills
to protect the dyestuff industry, the
tariff commission, and the prohibition
of unfair competition from abroad.
Since the Democratic party thus ad'
mits that some form of protection is
needed, and since even the vast ma
jority Of Democratic business men
agree that a protective tariff is the
safest and surest policy, why should
not the Democratic party take up the
plan which will insure industrial Sc
curity and prosperity?
