Is the Army Doomed?

Secretary Taft, in his annual re-
port, seemed to point out enough
trouble for the army in the way Of
failure to gain enlistments and re-
enlistments, and in the increase of
desertions, but according to a dis
patch from New York he missed
the greatest trouble Of all, and one
that if not remedied threatens the
very existence of the army.
Lieut.. Col. Edwin F. Glenn, in an
address to the New York chapter
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, revealed this awful fate
when he declared that American
girls are refusing to marry the men
in the army. The men are all right,
.he says, and the girls are willing
enough to marry them, but they in

Progress in the South.

Men who have travelled through
the South and who have business
connections with that great region
of Columbia's empire need no re-
hinder that the South of today Is
a very different country from the
South as the devastating war left
1t. But there are many people
. throughout the North and West
who do not know the modern
South, and TO them will come with
almost the force of a shock the
news that Birmingham, Ala, a city
that has sprung into being since the
war, is now the third city Of the
South in population, being sur
passed by only New Orleans and
Louisville, and probably leads them
in mining and manufacturing and
general industrial activity and
prosperity, and takes its rank amid
the foremost cities Of the whole
land.
b Incorporated in 1873, Birmingham,
its mineral values known only to a
few Southern men with small CAPT
tai, began its phenomenal growth,
and within ten years there were
p, 900 persons living within a radius
of ten miles. In 1900 the town was
listed by the Census Bureau as nav
ing less than 10000 inhabitants, but
the Greater birmingham" election
Monday resulted in an overwhelm-
ing victory for the city, and in 1910
the Magic City viii not be far out
side the 100000 class. In the new
city limits extended by the election
Monday there are 100000 people.
This growth is not peculiar to
birmingham. It is found all over
the South. Industrial enterprises
have quickened the life of every
State in the South, and the North
will have to look to its laurels in
the future.

Andrew Jackson.

Sixty-three years ago today there
died in Tennessee a man who left
the imprint of his personality in
delibly upon this Government and
this people. Yet so humble was An
drew Jackson's birth that the home
where he first saw the light cannot
be exactly located, nor is it known
whether il was IN North Carolina
or South Carolina. He was a United
States Senator at the age of thirty.
He was judge of the supreme court
OF Tennessee at the age of thirty
one, having resigned from the Sen
ate. He was a judge for six years,
and then he became a warrior, and
waged successful, campaigns against
the Indians Of the South, and then
overwhelmed the English at New
Orleans.
Tennessee nominated him for
President in 1922. and he was re-
turned to the Senate in 1923. He
was elected President in 1928, and
reelected in 1882. As President he
practically inaugurated the quad
rennial redistribution Of Federal Of
fees: he mastered such a handicap
as the sudden resignation of his
whole Cabinet in 1881; he vetoed the
re-charter of the Bank of the
United States right in the midst of
his campaign for reelection; he
: compelled the Senate to expunge a
condemnatOry resolution; he forced
European nations to settle for
spoliations under Napoleon's re-
gime; he forced a return to specie
payments, with which Congress so
interfered that a financial crash re
suited; he went out of office the
most popular man personally in the
United States, and left his party
with a perfect organization, strong
and enthusiastic.
Jackson's vigorous physical and
mental nature, his straightforward
methods. and his open-mindedness
made him an ideal captain of men
and advocate of measures, and a
formidable. if not almost invincibIe.
opponent. His indomitabIe spirit is
felt even by this generation.

knot is tied the men must leave the
army and set themselves up N civil
life. The uniform no longer lures
the tender female heart, and West
Point vacancies are going begging.
All this Colonel Glenn traced to
the sudden expansion of the United
States after the war with Spain into
a world power, and the apparent
failure of the Government to realize
the inadequacy of the army to the
new responsibilities.
Posts are now changed so fire.
quently, Colonel Glenn stated. that
the wife of an army man cannot
live with him, and children are five
and six months old before their
father sees them, for the Govern
ment doesn't recognize family rea-
sons as sufficient cause for an Of
ficer's leaving his post, and doesn't
increase his income because he has
to keep up two establishments.
Here's a state of things! What
ever shall we do? Uncle Sam can
not expect to have any show at all
in competition with Columbia's
daughters. Here's a chance for the
President to assert his well-lmown
theories, and for Congress to take
decisive action.
We must have soldiers, and we
can't deny them the God-given right
and privilege and joy of marrying
American girls. Something must be
done, and "'twere wen it were done
quickly"

FAMILIES TURNED OUT
IN HIGH RENT STRIKE

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The eviction Of
about thirty families was begun today,
As they were put out, other acoommo-
dations were quickly found for them by
representatives of the ani-high rent
society.
There has been thus far little disorder
All strikers were warned not to resist
the law. About 1000 eviction warrants
have been signed thus far, but in many
cases the landlords are expected to pay
the tenants s. or 81 to leave voluntarily
IN preference to giving the narshals
S. to 81 to svict them
The justices persuaded the landlords
TO serve no warrants yesterday on ao-
count Of the suffering which would have
resulted had the families been turned
into the streets IN bad weather.

LIES SILENT WATCHES.

Out Of life's silent watches.
out Of the gloom OF night,
Souls that fOresee the conflict
Send forth their words of might.
Heroes Of art and science,
Wrestle alone for years,
Bringing at last some trophy
Worthy Of whole worlds cheers.
Poets with broOding patience,
TOtling with courage strong,
Out Of some lonely vigil,
Weave an immortal song.
Not through the whirl OF pleasure,
Not from the din Of strife.
But out Of the silent watches
Come the great deeds of life.

A Bishop in Politics.

That there are some real live men
in ecclesiastical robes is shown by
the fact that Bishop Williams, of
the Episcopal diocese of Michigan,
has opened a downtown Office in
Detroit, where he can discuss non
partisan political affairs with men
of the world. The bishop will take
an active part in municipal mat
ters. He has Sideas of his own
about them, he believes in his ideas,
and, having the courage of his con-
victions, is going to try TO have
them brought into practical opera
ton.
This is the sort of churchman
whose influence viii be felt beyond
the portals Of the temple This is
the sort of practical religion that
viii tempt men to church and cause
them to wear their righteousness as
something more than a garment for
Sunday in the sanctuary.
Why shouldn't bishop enter into
the practical, daily affairs of the
people? There can be no loss of
dignity, influence, or prestige in
helping men carry out in their bust
ness and political life the doctrines
which the clergy urge upon them
from the pulpit.
Politics of the broad. non-partisan-
ship sort should attract the best
men as much as educationi more so
and for greater reasons, The deca-
logue in politics has been declared
to be an iridescent dream, and it
will remain so as long as the efforts
to convert it into a fact are confined
to the cloister. Politics offers a
wide, inviting, and proper field for
the activities Of the men OF the
cloth, and the times are propitious
for their entrance, The College
Man in Politics. was once a theme
for academic debate, but he went in,
q demonstrated his value, and now he
is looked upon as having as much
right there as is the man who has
come up from the sluns of the
great cities.
No class Of men has the right to
say that political activity IS i'm
proper in any person. It is the pa
triotic duty Of every man and
woman to take an interest in poll
tics and to take IS active a part IN
the affairs of a city, a State, or the
nation, as their opportunities OF
abilities may permit. No woman is
too pure, no man too holy, to bear
a share of the burdens and RESPONSE
bilities of a government of the peo-
pie. by the people, and for the peo-
pie Of the greatest nation on the
face of the earth.
