MERELY COMMENT

Gee whiz, just think of i'll Some
of our very best folks are charged
with lodging their taxes.
Even chauncey Keep, one of the
trustees Of old Marshall Fields es-
tate, is in the list.
Gosh, but how some folks hate to
let go of the dough once they get
their fingers on it.
They want the government used to
protect their property, but don't
want to pay for the protection.
The Hearst papers are busy organ
izing unions for Judge Owens, even
if those papers are on the unfair list
Of the Chicago Federation.
War certainly is hell
Some of the fashionabIes at the
Carlsbad baths had to get out of
there in such a big hurry they had
to sleep on the floors of railroad cars.
. This war business seems to be
catching. Chicago Democratic party's
got it bad.
While the H.-H. bunch and the Sui
Ivan crowd are scrapping for Owens
and Scully, Dan Cruice may slip in
between and grab the nomination for
county judgeship.
Dan wouldn't make bad harmony
at that-for he doesn't be-
long to either machine.

JEAN JAURES, SOCIALIST, IS
SHOT TO DEATH

Paris, Aug. Jean Jaures, So
ciaist parliamentary leader, anti
militarist, was shot by an assassin
last night and fell dead as he was
dining in. restaurant. The man
who shot him said he was Raoul Vii
lain, son of a clerk at the court of
Rheims. He carried nothing to prove
his identity and had removed all
marks from his clothing before COM
hitting the crime ..-
Juares was dining in the Cafe de
Croissant with four friends and had
just finished his meal and was rising
from his seat when hand was thrust
through the open window and four
shots fired at the Socialist leader.
Three bullets missed their mark.
The fourth struck him behind the
ear. Within ten minutes he died.
The murderer was pursued and
caught.
The scene about the cafe after the
tragedy almost equalled a riot Work
ingmen friends of Juares cried for
vengeance. Others shouted Long
live the army" and cheered for war.
This is the first act of violence
since war rumors began and France
fears that she may have internal
troubles that will imperil her chances,
of victory in the great war.

WHAT TO EXPECT
OF YOUR LIBRARY
BY CARL MILAN

Director Birmingham Public Library
Expect it to be alive. The old idea
of library was collection of books.
The new idea of library is service.
Every library ought to be as much in
terested in the big questions of the
day as is the most enthusiastic mem
ber of the organization which is behind
the movement. Everywhere in the Unit
ca States people are talking now about
the currency law and the control of
trusts. 1t would be absurd for library
not to have material on these subjects
Today a. great many people all over
the country are thinking about child
course never be. able to settletaoin
Nlabor. The library officials will of
course never be able to settle among
themselves whether children ought to
be 10 or 2 or IA or 16 years of age
before they are allowed to sell news
papers on the streets or act as office
messengers. That isn't necessary. But
they must know that hundreds of peo-
PIE of this city are thinking about
child labor and they must be prepared
to supply literature on the several sides
of that tnterestingN subject.
Some of the topics of current interest
on which the Birmingham public library
has material are the Panama canal
commission form of city government.
immigration, political situation in Mex
leo, child study, Fairgrounds, city
planning. ciey finances, fire prevention,
smoke prevention, good roads, wom-
ans suffrage, vocational guidance and
training.
The Birmingham public library will
endeavor to anticipate demands for
this sort of reading matter and 1t will
always be willing to secure on request
material that is needed

Many Congressman Opposed
There is an unusually live situation as
regards congressional districts in Ala
bama this year. George w. Taylor of
the First has opposition in the person
of Oscar l. Gray of Choctaw county.
Hugh Dent of the Second is opposed by
Woolford Mabry. Henry ID. Clayton of
the Third is opposed by Henry Is. Stea-
gall of Ozark. On account of the effort
of r.. p. Hobson TO achieve the sena-
torial nomination. in sne Sixth there is
an open fight between William h. Oliver
and William b. Bankhead. In the Sew
enth John l.. Burnett Is opposed by l..
r. Rainey of Gadsden In the Eighth
opposition to William Richardson has de-
veloped in the person of Judge Almon. In
the Ninth there is an open fight in view
Of the retirement of Oscar w. Under
wood between Nathan l.. Miller, Jere c.
King George W. Darden and George c.
Huddleston.
In the Fourth Fred l.. Blackmon is
unopposed In the Fifth j. Tom Heflin
is unopposed. In the state-at-large, nc
opposition has developed against John
w. Abercrombie.
New Democratic Leader
With such a large percentage of the
members Of the delegation opposed foi
reelection, it is safe prediction that there
will be new faces by the beginning of
new terms. Two members who will GER
tainly be missing are Oscar w. Under
wood and r. p. Hobson. This means
that it will become necessary for the
House to elect a new leader, and already
several of the most distinguished MEM
bers are grooming themselves for stPug-
gle the spoil of which will be this sig
nal honor. As successor to Mr.. Under
wood, it is considered certain that no
southerner will be named Mitchell Pal
mer of Pennsylvania is considered the
strongest of the prospective candidates.
In addition to Underwood and Hobson
ii is believed that others of the dele
cation are serving their final term. But
each of the experienced Is confident,
equally as confident as each of the new
