Some day you may run foul of sin And do the same. you know. The man who makes the loudest fuss When others go astray And lifts his hands to heaven, as If in a mood to pray Is nothing but a hypocrite. And should he chance to fall Hell never say word about His shame, at all, at all The only way to go through life And make the best of it Is to be tolerant and kind And never growl a bit Allowing lots of latitude To help some chap along Who really wants to reach the top, But isn't very strong That's sound advice Senator Blow is giving us.''

Birmingham Can Get sub-Treasury.


 Birmingham can get the sub treas ury all right" said Major Charles J. Allison, United States court clerk, and member of the committee of five which fought so hard for this proposl- tion last winter in Washington. We practically had it last year until At lanta did the dog in the manager trick, and succeeded in having it. held up. Birmingham will be stronger than ever this year and with a good effort on the part of the. people here 1t can be brought to Birmingham.
 There is no doubt about our com ln1ttee having the call on all other delegations. This committee was only composed of five men, while Atlanta and the other places had 20 or more. It happened though that every man in the Birmingham delegation knew Wash ington, and the wire were worked prop erly.
 T don't believe the people of Bir- mingham fully realize what great benefit to the town the establishment of a sub treasury would mean here. The town should get worked up over this proposition and generate a de- termination to land the subtreasury. With a boiling public sentiment to back it. a delegation can go to Washing ton and work doubly hard"
