There Is such very great deal 'i

 Each man in gazing at the things thu Ire or the things that have heen ol are going to be uses a different glas. fiom all of the other men who ar, ,.nxing at inc same thing
 This accounts for politics and relig- l. ns and the thousand and one othe; things upon which men east the .ey' Oe their mind and which rccciv" ther". oi. quite varied impressions of tho objects within the mental vision.
 In this viewing things from diff ferent angles each man sees somethin that no other man sees, and he als misses seeing much that comes int other mems lines of vision. This l. quite all right in the ordinary cours Of events md in the general run C objects viewed. It is good for mel to look upon things from several diff f,rent angles and besides each mar is doing his own work and must lool q: conditions as they will effect him self and his occupation.
 There Is. however. one picture thai tho eyes of all men must gaze hpon and which they should all view through the same glasses or from the same angle. That is the prosperit. : and progress of the place in which they live or In which their business Is located.
 In the background of every mental photograph of town there Is the haze. a cloudy misty substance. and behind that is the futurc.
 The eyes of every man who is in tei ested in. or has interests in. the town are continually fixed upon this dim background. He Is striving witf nll his might to pierce through the outer surface of the present and look beyond this mist. One good clear view into the unknown future might De worth a fortune. So the men gaze ard gaze and try to see what is be- ycnd.

! In his message read before congress 1 last month President Wilson used these words in speaking of Alaska: I But the construction of railroads Is
 only the first step; is only thrnstine in the key of the storehouse and i throwing back the lock and opening the door. How the tempting resources 1 Of the country are to be exploited Is
 another matter. to which l shall take the liberty from time to time of call inl your attention, for it is a policy which must be worked out by well c.rsidered stages. not upon theory"
 Practical development of the terri tcry and keeping the resources of the territory for the people is the keynote D: the entire message delivered on the subject of Alaska by President Wilson and his last sentence Is promise oi even greater things than his ad- n,inistration has already brought to m.ss. How tho tempeting resources of the territory are to be exploited
 is another matter to which I shall take the liberty of calling your atten- tiIn from time to timc."
 In that last sentence President Will son has made the people of the terri ttcIy of Alaska and the people of the United States promise and therc is nJ man in the land so biased by po- liticnl beliefs as to doubt Mir. Wilson's word when he makes promise to the American people.
 His record since he entered tho White House has been one continuous effort to mako good the promises of the Baltimore convention. Ho has been obliged to fight a certain element in his own party at times to win through with the legislation he has taken in hand He has even been obliged to extinguish to certain cX- tent that able and lecturistic states man, the secretary of state. But tho president has kept his word to tho people ns has no other man who ever occupied the chair of the chief cxecu- tive.
 With this record of honor and with his clcarhcadcd and dominating rule of tho forces of congress who can doubt that when Mir Wilson says he will sec to 1t that the assistance of the government in the development of All aska does not cease with the building of the railroads he will keep his word.
 Mir. Wilson says that the railroads nrc hut the beginning of the work ttat will he done to bring the terri tcry to her richest fruition.

Worry at Alabama
by c. w. GREER

The question of selecting a man to sue
eeed d. V. Graves as athletic instructor
at the university next year is causing
much speculation by alumni of that insti-
tuition. Graves, it is understood. was
asked to reconsider his resignation, but
has refused. He leaves the university to
take the study of medicine. His absence
leaves a gaping hole in Alabama athletics
which must be filled at once.
Several applicants have asked to sue

inent among those mentioned are DR.. ].
w. II. Pollard, who led Alabama through
Its most successful athletic era some
years ago: Coach Courieux, athletic in
structor of Birmingham High school, and
Assistant Coach Tarr of Carlisle
DIR. Pollard will not return to Alabama
That much is settled. The former grid
iron wizard in a letter some days ago
stated that his days as coach have de-
parted. At present Dr. Pollard is ac-
lively connected with athletics at Wash

serving in the position of coach, and in
addition he holds a chair in that institu-

the Crimson warriors. DIR. Pollard's de-
termination is regretted by many friends
of Alabama. Every one will concede that
as coach he is the best that has ap-
peared on the Alabama gridiron in many
seasons Many believe that under him the
Crimson team might again gain a posi-
fion of prowess among Dixie elevens. But
the doctor has spoken and those who
know him know that it is habit of the
doctors to speak but once.
Selection at Once
However, a selection must be made in
the near future, and at present it seems
that either Courleux or Tarr will lead the
Alabama eleven next season.
The selection of a coach at Alabama is
a serious proposition. Graduate Athletics
Manager Hugo Friedman and others as
ISOLATED with him in facing this propo-
sition are going slowly and taking into
consideration every detail of the situation.
Alabama alumni are interested in the
question, and it is nothing but fairness to
them that their voices be heard when the
selection is made.
Between CourieuX and Tarr there is lit
tie and yet much to choose. The Birming-
ham High school leader is a coach of no
mean ability as his products who have
appeared on collegiate teams testify. He
is, moreover, a finished instructor in other
branches of sport and is said to be en-
tirely capable of handling Alabama base
