KINGS DEATH COMPLICATES
LINEUP OF THE POWERS

London March 1S.-The death of the
King and the accession of Constantine
complicates the lineup of Europes n
nations in case a general war should
result from the Balkan situation.
King George was brother of
Queen Mother Alexandra of England.
King Constantine is a brother-in-law la W
Balkan allies have been receiving the
moral support of England. France. and
Russia. while the triple alliance-Ger-
many, Austria, and Italy-has been
throwing the weight of its influence
to curb the ambitions of Servia, one
of the Balkan nations.
Russian sympathies for the Balkans
was strengthened by the fact of the
relationship between Queen Olga and
the Russian Czar.
King Georges part in the events
which led to the Balkan war caused
him to be mentioned. after hostilities
had broken out. as the candidate for
the presidency of the permanent con-
federation of the Balkan states which
consists of Bulgaria, Servia, Monte
negro, and Greece.
The King arrived at Saloniki on
November IL, and he was warmly
greeted by the metropolitan and SEN
Tor officers of the Greek army. All
the houses in the ancient Christian
capital. where Christian influence is
paramount, were decorated with the
Greek flags. and thousands of people
cheered him as he entered the city.
There was a service of thanksgiving
at the Arch Episcopal Church.
On that occasion King George told
a Danish war correspondent that after
the war the boundary of Greece would
probably be north of Saloniki and
Monastir. and in that event Saloniki
would be free port again after Gen.
turies of moslem occupation.

The Mexican Situation

The Mexican people have at last
walked up to the fact that the United
States does not need to enforce her
demands by the force Of arms. There
are other ways just as effective in
attaining the desires Of this nation
which President Wilson has used with
great success.
The nomination by the Catholic
party of Frederico Gamboa as can
didate for the presidency of the re-
public in the Forthcoming election is
a tacit recognition of the demands of
the United States. That party has
seen the futility of attempting to con-
tinue Genera. Huerta in office in the
face of the opposition of this govern
ment and with the approval of Huerta,
who bowed to the inevitable, have
selected man who is suitable to
America.

points out, General Huerta seized upon
the expressions of the Presidents
critics to strengthen his position and
in message to the Mexican Congress
declared that the President was not
acting with the approval of the peo-
pie of the United States when, as a
matter of fact, they were practically
in their appreciation of Mr.
Wilson's course.
In Europe governments not only
expect but demand support of their
foreign policy in delicate times and
when the situation becomes critical
in some instances a censorship is es-
tablished. This is too radical for the
United States, but editors should not

Mrs. Pankhurst and Her Methods

Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst, leader of
the militant suffragettes of England,
announces that she is coming to the
United States to explain why her fol-
lowers act as they do in England. She
will have much difficulty in present
ing reasons which will convince think
ing people of America that the out
RACES perpetrated by the militant suf-
fragettes are justified.
Women in England will never obtain
the ballot by attempting to intimidate
cabinet ministers or burning down
houses. The failure of the recent bill
granting votes to women may be at
tributed to the militants. England has
been singularly patient with the suf-
fragettes but they are getting dan
gerously near to the border line.
The statement has been frequently
made that ''the militants have not at
tackled human life as yet, but if
driven to it they will do So" This is
the sole point which may be argued
in their favor. They have not as yet
attacked human life. 1t is practically
the only thing which they have not
DONE
Mrs. Pankhurst makes the some
what astonishing statement that II
think that even American women owe
some gratitude to English militancy
for helping to make votes for women
the burning question of the day."
American suffragists owe Mrs. Pank-
hurst and her kind nothing.
Militancy has no place in the United
States and it might almost be said
those who advocate such measures.
Whatever influence militancy may
have had in America on the equal suf-
frage movement has been detrimental.
Whatever progress the equal suffrage
movement has made has been in spite
of militancy rather than by it.

The. Land Congress

When the Alabama State Land con-
gress was organized last year in Mo-
bile the attendance was large and rep
.resentative but this years annual
meeting which will be held in Bir-
mingham in November will be on a
far more extensive scale. The fact is
that it will be one of the largest and
most important gatherings ever held
in the south.
The congress will be in session sew
eral days and Oscar w. Underwood
will be on one of the programmes for
a discussion of the tariff in it's rela-
tion to the cost of living. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Underwood is to
take part in the land congress, the
railroads are making special rates
from points outside of the state as
well as within the state. The Alabama
Great Southern is advertising cheap
round trip tickets from both Chatta-
nooga and Meridian.
Another feature of the congress
will be the presence of large num-
ber of railroad presidents Several of
the railroad executives are brilliant
speakers. President w. w. Finley of
the Southern is one of the readiest
and most luminous takers on his
feet in this country. The United States
Secretary of Agriculture, David F.
Houston, has intimated that he will
attend the congress, and as he is a
distinguished educator and orator he
will be distinct attraction in the
event that he can come. All in all
exceptional talent will be in evidence
on this occasion.
While the land congress will be of
special interest to farmers it will
touch in very direct manner all
branches of business. 1t will certainly
have practical effect on all values
in Alabama, and men can we'll afford
to come from remote corners of the
state to enjoy what will be of real
benefit to them.

KIND WORDS

From the Walnut Kan.) Eagle.
You are the vilest. the most arrogant
and the most egotistical old hypocrite
and the biggest pusillanimous liar that
has ever walked the streets of Walnut
or that ever sat in the pew of church
There is not an honest hair on your
head or an honest fiber in your body.
You haven't friend on earth or a
principle that you would not turn down
for dollar. You heap calumny upon
the living and disturb the dead by lying
q bout them. You have the instinct of q
viper in your scabby body, and your
Shiny train is strewn with failures and
newspaper wrecks. You started half a
dozen newspapers when you did not have
tine ability and the means to run one sue
cessfully. You are nothing but a fang
less, blear-eyed serpent. Your head has
been crushed, but your tail will wiggle
till the sun goes down.
