A FITTING MONUMENT

From the Pittsburg Post.
 A touching reminder of the loss sus- tsined in the recent death of Rabbi J. Leonard Levy is found in the filing of his will, document peculiarly personal and typical in it's character. Written in the form of letter to his wife on the eve of his departure on a journey in 1909, the will contains a number of fea- lures so characteristic of the man as to 1rnuer It norewortnS The unaIlecteu sinpuciry ana renoerly human toucn inI- pared 10 the mlsSlve are no less StrlA- ing than IS the unaSSumlng mouesty ul the requests he maiAes with regal Ii to himsen. lie strove to be 8 reaene4 oL Ixud $ word ana to live lt' IS the cpl tapn he oeslreu inscribed upon .ony q modest stone marking my resting place.. and he expressly deprecated anything sayorlng OI ostentauon in connecIion With hIs obsequles But perhaps the best gauge of the man is found in the request penned to his loved ones; Tn memory ot me help whatsoever you can on the highway to better and holier life For hmself he asked 'only modest stone; his Congregation has thought mt ting to dedicate to his memory the stately temple where he so successfully presided. But better and truer mon- ument than either is the ever swelling volume of good arising from his simple. sensible, human teachings.

HAS NO EQUAL
OUR MARY COMES BACK

mestic duties and elemental impulses, to burst like a crimson meteor upon a jaded world Some 15 or IS years ago Mary came as a dash of paprilza in tasteless literary salad. She let us into her seething little soul with amazing frankness. Narrow minds thought Mary was naughty; maybe she was; but she was not conscious of it, which won for her full pardon.
 Mary, after her brief but fiery fight across the literary heavens, seemed to fade out, die away, and like a shooting star. become but memory. Thousands of us missed her. We. had given her up for good. And that is why that little one-line item, buried amid tales of dis aster, has awakened new interest in the events of today.
 We shall await the return of our Marx eagerly. We hope she will bridge the gap between Butte and today in detail. We shall want to follow the evolution of her soul all the way from then to now Mary's epilogue will not be complete until she tells us intima tely whether she has gone back to tooth brushes and olives with more experienced sense of values, or whether she has found her true gods

BeautifuI instrument.

T have never seen a more beauti- ful set of brass band instruments than those on display at the Williams Music house on Third avenue" said Hardie Brown. They have been pur- chased by the citizens of Birmingham for the Boys Industrial school band and are certainly something the boys will be proud of. for they are the last word in elegance and finish. Tom Will Hams stated yesterday that the boy s were certainly lucky in securing the instruments at this time as the c. c. Conn concern of Elkhart Ind, makers of the instruments. had contracted with the government for the entire output of their factory to supply the new military bands and organizations that are being formed all over the country.
 He also stated that the instruments for the local boys band were the bes. the Conn company manufacture, which means the best on the market any where. The instruments are on display in the show window of the Williams Music house, and are we'll worth see ing.

 We had feared that the budding genius from the fume-poisoned valley of Butte had passed from within range of our literary periscope.

But as often we have had to sink back into the old simy abyss of the usual, the con- ventional. the initiative.

Montgomery Publisher Here

Birmingham is certainly making wonderful strides" said Charles 1T, Allen, publisher of the Montgomery Advertiser who was here yesterday at the trial of former Gov. B. B. Comsr against the Advertiser
 "You who are here do not realize as does the man who comes only from time to time how Birmingham grows and changes. My first real experience with Birmingham began back in 1901 and 1902 when l was with lie Age Herald, I thought it was good town then, but the growth since those days has been marvellous.
 Ut is interesting to us in Mont gomery to see you in Birmingha;n working so hard for the mobilization camp when we know we have if cinched for the Capital City
 Some day I expect to see a con. dition arise in Alabama whereby when anything comes up that might be given to some Alabama city, Birming ham, Montgomery and Mobile will net be pulling against each other. Too often such tactics result in losing h. stitutions for the state entirely when if we could get together and help each other once in while we could do some effective work that would land something"

 IT N Arizona a mana white man < this time-who was accused of having committed an atrocious crime, was captured and lynched. A coroner's jury met, deliberated and gravely de- clared the proceedings a "justifiable homicide, committed by persons un- known to the jury"
 There is nothing unusual in citi- zens, both white and black, being strung up in this free country by ex- citable persons who can't endure the thought of the laws delay in such cases, and the inability of coroner's jury to discover scintilla of evidence. The unique part of this affair was the conduct of the victim.
 The man not only confessed his crime, relating all the sickening de tails for the edification of the mob, but after the Lords prayer had been recited he directed the making of the moose for himself and shortly after ward was hanged by having an auto mobile driven out from under him.
 There are members of mobs who att tend lynching "bees" with great alac- rity and cheerfulness, but afterward have slight twinge of conscience, particularly if there is some doubt as to the victim'ss guilt The Arizona lynching was ideal, from mob's point of view. There was the confes- sion listened to with rapt attention and then the evident willingness of the guilty man to pay the penalty, as shown by his desire to have the moose just right.
 There was nothing whatever to mar the occasion--from lyncher's point of view Each participant in the "bee' no doubt returned home feeling we'll pleased with himself and the world in general.
