Too Many Candidates
 In the Senate Race

TN the view of Superintendent N Brooks Lawrence, there are too many men in the Senate race; that it to say, too many men running against Senator Underwood. And yet there are only two striving to defeat Alabama's brilliant member of the upper house.
 But two is too many. Theref ore one of the aspirants must come down. Mir. Lawrence hopes the opponents of Underwood will confer and vol- untarily arrange for only one of them to remain in the race. Should the two men now canvassing for votes insist on running, however, then Superintendent Brooks, who is powerful in the Anti-Saloon organiza- ton, proposes to call convention of prohibitionists to name a strong democrat to seek the nomination against Underwood.
 Brooks Lawrence is shrewd poli- tician. He is, in fact, perhaps the most far-visioned man in prohibition |eixelsss X@a ts tipdf,thss sifussn critical, from his point of view; it must be so. He is frank in. telling

Americas Most Famous
 Orchestra in Trouble

TT HE Boston Symphony Orchestra,
 < founded by Major Higginson, the wealthy banker and music lover, many years ago, was until recently regarded as America's greatest sym phonic organization.
 It was kept up to high standard by the liberal benefaction of the founder. Eminent conductors were brought from Europe. A quarter of century ago Nikisch came from Berlin to lead it, and as he was the greatest conductor of his day, his leadership heightened the prestige of the already distinguished organiza4 tion.
 Then appeared Dr. Muck, supposed to be the greatest director of them all, but Muck's pro-Germanism caused trouble. He was interned. In recent years several experiments have been made in the conductor ship.
 Boston was proud of it's orchestra. But since Major Higginson was no longer it's business head, other we'll known men were cooperating to make the orchestra the exclusive in- ,stitution it was in other days. @
 But real trouble is now in evidence. The members of the orchestra are de- manding an increase in their pay of one thousand dollars per man, and as the personnel includes virtually one hundred, the advance would total one hundred thousand dollars.
 Major Higginson had fixed policy of operating" a non-union orchestra. It worked smoothly for many years, but now a snag has been struck. The union question is pressing, and the conditions, imposed are such that cause certain of the trustees to en- ter strong protest
 The most serious proposition, how ever, is the demand for higher wages. The deficit this season is about one hundred thousand dollars, and the operating association has no funds out of which to pay substantial in crease.
 If the Boston symphony should be disrupted, it would be regarded as a national calamity. As has been stat ed often, orchestras of the first class are expensive luxuries, but the Dam rosch orchestra, ever popular, has g packer in Mir. Flagler. The Chicago orchestra and the Cincinnati orches- tra have each substantial endow. ments, and the Minneapolis sym
 phony is amply backed by public
 spirited citizenry.
 1 Music of high class is more full! appreciated today than ever. Tn, symphony audiences are alway' large, but even capacity houses d. mot pay.
 i Let us hope that some way may b found to save the Boston symphony

Another Busy Day
 For the the Bloody Turk

THE war is over. Whistles blew
 N and bells rang out the glad tid- ings to all the world on that memo rable day in November more than a year ago, when the arnistice was signed. War is still go- ing on, so far as the hapless Arr menians are concerned. They are be- ing slaughtered by their old foes, the Turks. It is a familiar story of ra- pine and murder to the Armenians, who thought the ending of hostilities in France would bring them freedom from persecution.
 A cablegram received in Washing ton states that nineteen thousand Ar menians were massacred when the French evacuated Marash. It is stated that the French troops left the city at night. Unfortunately they did not inform anyone" The vigilant Turks knew, however. The next day three thousand Armenians tried to escape from Marash. They were butchered. Another band of sixteen hundred got away, but many of them were frozen. Twenty thou sand remained in Marash, and of these, sixteen thousand died.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
AIt May Be soy


 Will Thomas of Nashville. who IS on his way home from Miami. Fla, says he has read several stories lately about fish in the Hotel Lobbies column of The Age-Herald. but none of them can come up to something he person. ally saw at the beach opposite Miami q few weeks ago.
 Then Mabub Ali lowered his eyes.
 In the fashion of one who Is weav-
 ing lies"
 Will said:
 T saw the beach for miles filtered with drowned fish. Yes. drowned. The water was too rough for them and they drowned. I am not kidding. It happens every time there Is strong east wind.
 Lower Florida. or it's beaches, is not sand, but crushed shell and coral. Wave action through the centuries has ground all sorts of sea shells to little flakes. Pick up a handful of 1t and look and you1l see I'm right When strong east wind blows the rough water stirs up this flaky sand from the shore line to half a mile out. And fish swimming close in get their gills choked with the shell flakes and as 8 fish gets It's oxygen through it's giiis. and the gills get packed with the particles of shells. 1t is smothered, drowns and is washed ashore. Many 6 time have seen the darkies gather ing the drowned fish by the wagon load. It's so.'

 "We are launching ships every few days and our harbor is crowded all the time with vessels from all parts of the world. We will have about 75.oO0 or so,oo0 population at this census but watch us when the next one is taken. We'll pass several of the ambitious cities that are far ahead of us.'

FasSfnE or Btrmingham Lawyers
 T was admitted to the Birmingham bar in 1877, more than two score years ago, which shows that in spite of the fact that the Magic City is always spoken of as .riew town, 1t still has some age," said J. M. Russell.
 At the time of my admission there were twenty-three members of the bar, but John D. Strange and I are the only ones now living. More than 600 lawyers have practieed in the courts of Birmlng- ham since 1t was incorporated, and some 200 of them have died. R. H.

so close as to shut out the balance of the religious world.
 But am not here going to discuss the broad policies of the interchurch movement. for the programme is stu pendous and too many sided to be in terpreted by me; but I do say that the state wide pastors conference which has been in session here was made pos- sible largely through the fact that for many years back local pastors unions have been in existence, giving the brethren of the various churches an op- portunity to have a common meeting place once a month, where it was out of place to carry around a denomina- tional chip on ones shoulder.
 I hope that the presence in our fcity of hundreds of pastors will start our laymen to thinking about the made quate support of the ministry as a whole in Alabama. There may be some pulpits in our city churches where the salaries look large. but am sure thai with the growing cost of living and the many incidentals and calls upon the preachers generosity. none of then are able to set aside anything for theif old age.
 As praiseworthy as is the effort te raise a pension fund for the aged and dependent ministers. I think it would be much better and more just for churches to realize the needs Of theii , pastors and pay them at least A~1ivine wage. for in spite o< ~estofs unions who ever heard of prasa ssaer* koing or A strike?
