Regarding Park Concerts

If Birmingham is to have park con- certs this summer there is no time to be lost in making the arrangements. This city can boast of an exception ally fine concert band. It has. '-- f~~t, the best in the south; band that would do credit to the great cities of the east.
 But professional musicians have to be paid and it is doubtless a question of raising the funds that who have in former years made the open air programmes possible to pause now. But as high-class r.,sic for the masses is civic proposition as well as cultural, the Chamber of Commerce should lend strong help ing hand and aid the public-s spirited women of the Music Study club in financing a series of concerts covering July and August.
 Nothing affords so much innocent pleasure to people who cannot get away during the summer as the park concerts.

A NEW LOCOMOTIVE

From the Knickerbocker Press.
 Announcement that the Delaware and Hudson company will exhibit at 8 rail- way convention in Atlantic City this week monster locomotive, weighing 293,- 900 pounds which burns powdered coal. long a waste product, recalls that this company imported the first steam loco motive ever placed on rails in America. That was the Stourbridge Lion. which made it's trial trip on the Delaware and Hudson line between Carbondale and Seelyville, Pa., on August 8, 1929, thus antedating by two years the first trip of the Dewitt Clinton from Albany to Schenectady.
 The Stourbridge Lion, reconstructed from the original materials, reposes in the national museum at Washington. The new giant is far too large to be thus accommodated. but it is worthy of as much admiration as anything the museum contains. Besides consuming fuel which has hitherto been valueless, the combus- ton processes of this locomotive elimi- nate smoke and sparks. There are no waste products of combustion and there is no fire hazard It marks an important step in locomotive construction.

General Officers of the Army

The army reorganization act adds four major-generals of the line and nineteen brigadier-g generals, making in all twelve of the higher rank and thirty-six of the other.
 One noticeable difference between the old act and the new is in the mat ter of filling vacancies in the grade of brigadier-general. The President has been free to make his nomination to the Senate for brigadier- general regardless of the usual scheme of promotion from a lower grade, but after the reorganization act goes into effect only a colonel will be eligible for advancement. Just as is the case with other grades-promotion must be made from the next lowest rank.
 Under the existing law some of the Presidents have shown favoritism and in the exercise of their prerogatives have done more or less jumping. The new law makes jumping impossible.
 It was understood that in the re- organization act the chief of staff would become automatically a lieuten- ant-general. But if such clause was in the bill originally it was stricken out, for the section referring to chief of staff says he must be detailed in time of peace from the major-gen- erals.
 There are several lieutenant erals on the retired list. but none Tn active service. The chief of staff should be of higher grade than those under him, and special bill may yet be introduced to make such provision. It is well enough to limit in number the high grades in time of peace, but since we have no full generals, even on the retired list, there IS all the more reason for restoring the rank of lieutenant-general as a permanent grade.
 Maj.-Gen. Hugh L. Scott will retire in September, 1917, and in view of his excellent record, Congress will prob ably pass bill reviving the rank of lieutenant-general for his particu- lar benefit, but it would be better if the position of chief of staff were to carry with it the rank of lieutenant general.

Cots at St. Louis

According to the St. Louis news papers, delegates to the democratic national convention are not complain ing about the hotel accommodations although cots are much in evidence and crafty proprietors are reaping the expected harvest.
 An agreement was made by the hotel arrangements not to increase the regular rates for rooms during the convention, but nothing was said about cots. As result, the delegate who wants to stay in one of the big downtown hotels, "close to the eX- citement," is paying we'll for the priv ilege, if he failed to make reservations in advance. At one of the famous old hotels of St. Louis more than 400 cots are in service, it is said, and the average price is $2.50. Another lead ing hotel accommodates the overflow on cots placed in bedrooms, the price ranging from $1.50 night up. Still another is utilizing its ballroom, where indifferent slumber costs $2 per nap.
 Practically all the hotels have in- stalled cots and since the prices charged are little less than the cost of . room in normal times, there is every reason to believe that the man. agements will have a considerable profit to show when the last delegate has departed.
 However, the hotel men should not be censured for sticking" the thought less visitor who did not make arrange ments in advance, or the one who pre- fers any sort of place to sleep Tn town to going farther away from the festiv- ities. One delegate was asked why he didn't go to the West End hotels, and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-16

replied: "The West End is too far from the excitement. The fun down. town is worth any trifling discomfort, such as sleeping on cot"
 As the majority of the delegates and visitors probably feel the same way, St. Louis will escape unkind criticism. If a politician thinks he is having such a good time that he is willing to pay "room-and-ba prices for cot in ballroom, or in some body else's room, it's his own affair. And the large number of earnest suf- fragists in attendance certainly won't object to little hardship. They scorn the idea of being pampered.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-16

carry most gloom to republican hearts that transpired last night was the thrilling oration of William Jen- nings Bryan, who had been looked upon as a source of potential weak ness to the democratic party, and his 1 Iimpassioned appeal to democrats to support with but one aim-the good of the country-Wo Woodrow Wilson for reelection.
 MT. Bryan has announced that he 1 is to take the stump for the President and will do all in his power to insure his reelection. This decision on the part of the commoner removes repub- lican hope of a schism in the demo- cratic party such as wrecked their own organization four years ago and which today they are striving in vain to heal.
 MT. Wilson comes to the country for the SeCOnu ClIlle as d uidH SCelllpSu Dy the achievement of great things. As has no other President, he has dem onstrated his inflexible moral courage in the White House and has won the confidence of the hundred millions of citizens of this land by his assiduous though not demagogic care of their welfare.
 Eulogy of Woodrow Wilson is idle. He has gone through the fire and has come out pure gold.
 The democratic party by it's action at St. Louis last night honored Wood row Wilson no more than it honored itself.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-16
BULL MOOSERY AND SOUTH

istration's anti-sugar record-would, it was thought, insure a bull moose tri- umph.
 Did it? The democracy was not feazed. large democratic majority was polled. It was not, of course, in indorsement of free sugar. Louisiana is a cane sugar stronghold. Capital and labor are both vtally interested in the sugar industry. and protection for it is essential to its existence.
 But an old, deeply rooted political prejudice was employed, and, as on many former occasions. 1t sufficed. Bull moos- cry was described as republicanism wearing a mask; and the charge did the business for Colonel Parker and his friends They were easily beaten on election day.
 If there are any democrats in the south who have tired of their old asso- citations for any cause, sugar or other, and want to change to progressveness. the means are at hand wholly outside of bull moosery. In fact. bull moosery does not afford such means at all The cause is dead; the organization is powerless everywhere, and all but freak today
 The republican party, with a progress sive ticket and platform, is an invitation to all such men. Republican success will insure protection for sugar and all other southern industries needing protection. Will the invitation be accepted. Prob ably not. We shall see the lower south- ern states. Louisiana among the num- Der, go democratic. as usual, and by the usual majorities. If colloqualism is pardonable in the case, Colonel Parker was talking through his hat.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Business is Very Good

That business has improved at least foi the tonsorial artists is the claim of John sarver, hirsute engineer of some reputation amongst the scribes.
 Business is improving very much, ' said MT. Sarver, for the newspaper boys are visiting me with more regularity. When business improves in barber shop 1t means that it has improved very, very much elsewhere for only the waste money comes to the barber.
 However, | never complain and espe- cially not st this time at the contem- plation of glorious republican victory ill November
 Mir. Sarver is a native of Cincinnati and thoroughly imbued with the teach inSs of the republican party. But it is tbe ircny of fate that he must shave democrats.

Wilson and Marshall

Strong in it's unity, confident of it's leadership, the democratic party faces the coming campaign calm in the con- sciousness of things accomplished and promises fulfilled
 The democratic party last night, without the tame forrnSlity of bal lot, once more called Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and Thomas R. Mar shall of Indiana to be it's standard bearers in the quadrennial struggle with the republicans. The nomination came after night that made up for the lack of thrills in the other nights of the convention and left it's memory indelibly stamped on all present.. for they participated in the making of history.
 The thing which of all others will
