War and Cotton

Col. c. R. Bricken of Luverne. com manding the Second infantry regiment. Alabama National Guard passed through Birmingham last night, en route home. after mastering three companies into the National Guard. He said that the con- dition of his regiment was exceptionally good and was very gratifying to the officers of the line. In regard to the European war Colonel Bricken said it was proposition that might be ter minated quickly by a decisive battle: vet no one could safely work out any plan of an early settlement of the war.
 ''The war against cotton is the thing hurting our section" said Colonel Brick en. When a farmer comes into Luverne and is compelled to haul his cotton bac home because no one will buy it. there Is something very serious the matter. That has happened in Luverne several times

The Iron Market

Uncertainty, hesitation and timidity still characterize the iron market" say Matthew Addy & Co.,. in their Cincinnati report, issued this week: Current busi- ness is of small volume and nearly all transactions are for short time deliv- cry. There is no disposition to venture Into the future for two good reasons first, consumers are afraid, and second, producers absolutely decline at present prices to sell ahead.
 At the same time, there is no ques- tion in regard to the optimistic senti- ment of the trade as regards future busi- ness. Everyone believes that this stag gering blow dealt the trade of the world that American work shops will be run ming night and day. Already there are inquiries from unexpected sources In addition, it is evident that the domes- tic market soon must have an immense expansion simply to keep up with the .imes. By the domestic market, we mean not only our own home market, but the new development here which the war will make necessary. War has tre- mendous industrial lessons. It does not only teach geography as the great Pitt said, but in these days it also points out the weak places in our economic situation. Of course, the first and fore most lesson which we have learned is that we must either have a merchant marine or else lose half of our oppor- tunity. And a merchant marine means ships made of iron and steel and filled with costly machinery. And these we believe should be American made. Along that line alone permanent success and prosperity lie.
 But after all. today the best that can be said is that the iron market Is marking time and waiting hopefully or the future."

"At all expositions and large state fairs the musical feature is of high importance.' said man who was for merly connected with one of the most successful of southern expositions.

The One Thing Lacking

Confidence is the only thing needed to
restore business prosperity. "-President
Wilson
This is true, and the one thing that the
Democratic party sadly lacks is the
ability to promote confidence. The Re
publican party never closed factory or
threw man out of his job. The Repub-
lican party is a party of construction
and not destruction. 1t builds up; it
does not tear down. The Democratic
party is destructive; not construc tive.
1t tears down what it has taken years
to build up. And that is the reason for
the prevailing business stagnation. The
business of the country is intrinsically
sound, but business men are fearful be-
cause they distrust the party in power.
The Republican party may have got in a
a bad way and it may have deserved de-
feat two years ago, but nobody can
truthfully say that fear of the Republ can.
party ever threw business out of joint,
created hosts of unemployed and opened
free soup houses.

Civilization is the Mind of
Child

The Public School is generally under
estimated and looked upon with indiffer-
ence by careless citizens, yet its influence
is the likelihood of the community and
nation. Any ordinary imagination can
copjure up a condition of affairs that
would swiftly come to pass if the school
house was closed. 1t is the great inter-
national sieve into which all the chill
dren of all the nations of the world are
thrown to be shaken down to the com
mon level of residum of obedience and
patriotism. 1t is the crucible where
childhood is refined. The school child
becomes the instructor of the home and
as fast as the child becomes disciplined
and educated it lifts the moral tone of
every member of the family. The house
hold lives for the children because we
love them, and the children's ways be
come our ways as we advance with them,
while all the while we believe that it is
our own influence that is lifting
them. The most precious charge of
community is its childhood and the best
investment of government is the COM
mon school.
