 Sculptor Dead

CIR MOSES EZEKIEL, who died in g Rome few days ago, was one of the greatest of American sculptors. Born in Richmond in 1844, he was loyal to the south in the secession period, and being cadet at the Vir- ginia Military institute distinguished himself as youth at the battle of New Market, along with Maj. E. M. Tutwiler and other prominent men of today.
 Ezekiel graduated at the institute after the war, and in 1869 went to Berlin where he was admitted to the Royal Art academy. In 1878 he won the famous Michaelbeer prize of Rome through his relieve of "Israel," an honor which had never before gone to a foreigner. Later he was knighted
 by the King of Italy.
 He established a studio in Rome,
 where he spent the greater part of
 his mature life. He visited his native
 land frequently, however, and never
 lost interest in the town of his birth. ] It is a curious coincidence that of
 the comparatively small number of American cities which produced sculp- tors, Richmond, the only art center in the south, was among the foremost. l Edward V. Valentine achieved fame in the seventies. His recumbent statue of Robert E. Lee, which marks the
 tomb of the immortal Confederate
 chieftain at Lexington, Va, is a masterpiece. Among Valentines other
 great works is the classic "Andro- mache" group in the museum at Rich- mond.
 Ezekiel and Valentine being con- temporaries and rivals for recogni- tion in the realm of plastic art, had their professional clashes in the early days, but both these noted Virginians were kept busy-too busy to allow

BEGINNING THE DAY - Lord, may I see with new eyes today. May Thy kingliness hold me as never be- fore. Ride Thou triumphant into the city of my soul. I would greet Thee with the adoration of garments cast down and of branches spread for Thee. Be Thou my Lord and my King. Amen. H. NJ. E.

do believe it is the duty of every citi- zen of Birmingham to keep his eye upon a neighbor around whom there might be any suspicion. Such can do no harm if the neighbor is not guilty; but if he hap pens to be conspirator, how much better be it to have him apprehended before he commits an act of violence which might play havoc to this district.
 Instructions have been sent by the Washington government to enforce the national law to its letter in the Birming- ham district An insult even by word of mouth, to the American flag or the American government makes one subject to fine and imprisonment
 IT, times of war conditions are very diff ferent than in times of peace. The citi- zen who Is not loyal to his country and his government must either be In 8 de- tention camp or in the federal peniten- tiary.
 And some of those who recently tore up an Age Herald and scattered 1t to the four winds with threats and oaths against it because of its loyalty to our govern rnent, may by a repetition of this per formance-although it was in secret-find themselves "festooned."

in a wide open state will work
 unon the feelings of those who are
 denied the right to keep even
 rnorning today at home and make
 anti-prohibitionists out of them.
 And the upshot of 1t will be that
 some legislature will pass an act
 referring the whole business oack
 to the folks at home and the raold
 prohibition bill may be wiped out
 in a days voting. And with 1t may
 go. too, the former act which ran
 the saloon out of Gerogia, and
 which was working very well un-
 til the fanatics got to working on
 the governor and caused him to
 issue the call for the extra session
 just ended.
 While not so outspoken in it's con- demnation as the Press, the Atlanta Constitution fears that the new law may prove too drastic, and if strictly enforced will place in the category o1 criminals every person who had any liquor in his or her possession when the law went into effect.
 Public sentiment in Georgia is evil dently opposed to 'bone-dry" prohi- bition. The disposition to let we'll enough alone was ignored by the ex- tremists and as long as the public is divided on a question of this kind agi- tation will continue. That saloons may be brought back to Georgia is an en- tirely different proposition. The sa- loon has been weighed and found wanting. Sensible prohibition laws of- fer the best solution of the liquor problem.

Bee-Line Highway

When the directors of the Jackson Highway association decided upon the main line of the Jackson highway through Mississippi, with division run ming out from Nashville through Fayette- vile, Huntsville and Gadsden, those Of us who thought that the logical route for this great highway was through Cen tral Tennessee and Alabama, undertook to promote the building of such 8 high way through this section" said w. J. Sanders of Athens. Some weeks ago we organized in Birmingham the north and south national bee-line highway, which comes down from Nashville, through Co., lumbia, Pulaski, Athens, the Decaturs, Cullman, Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Mobile, gulf coast, into New Or leans. with Florida division connecting at Montgomery. The purpose is to con- nect with the Dixie bee-line from Chicago at Nashville. This will undoubtedly make one of the great highways of the coun- try.
 >"This project has been chartered the towns and cities through which the main line Is to run being named in the charter, and there Is, consequently, no way of diverting this route.
 '"The field manager Miss Alma Rit- tenberry, who was so instrumental in working up sentiment for the Jackson highway, and who Is now devoting her time and energies to the north and south bee-line. will soon visit the towns and counties through which the route is to run. I bespeak for her a cordial recep- ton in all the north Alabama counties"

BelIigerency Is Contagious

War has already broken out in some quarters of Birmingham" said Prof. s. A. Ellis of the Spencer Ellis Business college yesterday. Last week I had oc- casion to place a large mirror on my back porch and to leave 1t there for sometime. Finally, I heard quite com motion and when I reached the porch I found that one of my roosters had seen himself In the mirror and had made a vicious attack on 1t. So vigorous was he that he smashed the mirror and incl dentally cut himself very badly. Verify, must say that this country is in state of belligerency, and the Germans had better watch out. Even the roosters are alive with the fighting spirit'
