SECRETARY DANIELS REPORT

the navy would be badly handicapped
in war with great power.
A report by Secretary Daniels with
out allusion to his hobby, ''the biggest
university in America" would be as
singular as report without heroic
verse to adorn the patriotic sentiments
that flow from his pen. !" Every ship
a school is now literally true says
Mr.. Daniels. His account of what has
been accomplished by daily lessons on
board in the three RS" with geogra-
ply and history added, would be pleas
ing to pedagogic mind, but the fact
remains that neither the officers nor
the men are as enthusiastic about the
matter as the Secretary is. If more of
ficers are needed in the service, by all
means open the door as wide as is
desirable to the enlisted man, but also
enlarge the cadet corps at Annapolis.
The scheme of having officers frater-
nize with the men on board ship and
pursue the same studies with the idea
of promotion to the quarterback" for
the enlisted men could have occurred
only to an original and unconventional
mind q

serves public recognition and praise.
1t didn't take "cabby" long to tum-
bic to the facts in the case. The girl,
unsophfsticated, had let it be known
she was coming to this city to find
employment. She had been directed to
two questionable places The one
proved vacant; "cabby" knew some
thing about the reputation of the other.
He knew, too, that his fare was no
woman of the world. and with the con-
Germ Of father and the kindness of
gentleman he quietly sized up the
situation and placed the girl among
friends and amid surroundings clean
and wholesome, from where she was re-
turned to her home
1t refreshes our faith in mankind to
read of incidents like that. 1t helps one
to fight off the insinuations that FREE
| quently come from high places that
those who occupy the lowly stations
in life have not high ideals. Whether
the public ever learns who this par
t1cular "cabby' was or not, he has the
satisfaction of knowing he paid as high
tribute to clean womanhood as ever

ELECTRICITY IN BELGIUM

From the Electric News Service
Before the great war little Belgium was
decidedly up-to-the-m minute in electrical
matters. 1t is written in the news dis
patches that the invading Germans saved
the electric light plant whenever they
could. AT the last available census of
lew years ago Belgium had 67 central
stations, totaling $1,000 kilowatts ca
pacity, supplying 131 communities. and
since that date dozen other important
stations have been completed, the present
| total plant capacity approximating 100, 600
kilowatts Electric lighting and trac-
ton Developments have had a most i'm
portant effect; the International exposi-
| ton at Client last year bore witness to
the diversity and the excellence of Bel

enterprise of Belgian central stations In

The BUSINESS Situation

Henry Clews in his Saturday review
speaks of the resumption of stock trad
ing on the New York exchange as an
other important step toward complete
resumption. After discussing various
phases of business conditions at length
says:
Briefly then, the situation is this.
We have amply discounted all bad con-
ditions, especially the war, for the time
being at least.
THE country's finances are now
safely adjusted to the new basis.
'"The stock market has reopened with
reasonable restrictions and without the
difficulties once feared.
I'VE are now feeling the supporting
influence OF good crops and the west
is consequently much more hopeful
than the east.
Legislative attacks upon big husi-
ness promise to be sensibly moderated.
Industry seems to be on the turn
ing point from extreme depression.
THE federal reserve system has af-
forded a new basis of confidence.
"The interstate commerce commits
sion Is expected to make some conces-
sions to the railroads; the latest re-
port being that the full per cenc will
be granted eastern roads.
IAN easy money market seems as
sured for some time to come.

"There are no indications of the much
dreaded flood of foreign securities, and

will not be as long as many have ex-
pected."

Finished Products and the South

The necessity of turning the south's
pig iron into a finished product in or
der that larger profits from our min
eral resources might be obtained has
long been discussed and within the
past fifteen years substantial prog
ress has been made along that line.
Before steel making was started in
the Birmingham district the cast iron
pipe industry had attained to impor-
lance and gradually the percentage of
pig metal melted in Alabama has been
increasing. But the time must come
when very little pig iron will be
shipped away.
And as with the south's iron so it
must be with its cotton. Within the
past fifteen years the number of spin
dies in the south has increased stead
lily, but from now on the increase
should be rapid. The lesson which the
distressed cotton" situation has i'm
pressed upon this section should bear
good fruit. In the first place, more
uses will be found for cotton, and in
the next place there will be multi
plication of mills which will add I'M
told wealth to the south.
The Illuminating address on cotton
which w. D. Nesbitt delivered at a
meeting of the Birmingham Rotary
club a few days ago, and which was
reproduced in Sundays Age Herald,
should set the public as we'll as the
capitalists in particular to thinking.
What the south is losing by not manu-
featuring the bulk of its cotton is
readily proved by flew simple sta
tistics; but it does not require figures
to show in general way what the in
terest of the south is in this regard,
for ordinary observation is sufficient
The coming year will bring new
era of prosperity to this country.
Capital has been hating for some
time past, but when a great tide of
prosperity starts in again industrial
expansion and development hereabouts
will be seen on larger scale than
ever before. The iron and steel indus
try and the cotton industry should
alike go forward with a great bound.

Prohibition and Woman Suffrage

Not a few members of Congress
who are committed to the prohibition
cause and to woman suffrage in state
politics will vote against both of these
measures as nationwide propositions.
They will do this, too, consistently.
Many statesmen who vote "dry" at
home are as thoroughly imbued with
the principle of local option as the
man who votes SWEET" President Will
son is "dry" local optionist In New
Jersey he votes against the sale of
liquor in the county where he is reg
istered, but no amount of pressure has
ever changed his attitude toward the
liquor question. He regards local OPP
ton in the matter of the liquor bust
ness as thoroughly democratic and
American doctrine. 1t is the same
way with regard to equal suffrage.
1t should be settled, he thinks, by the
legislature of each state, just as he
holds that the question of wet or dry
should be settled by county or town.
ship.
But as a result of the action of the
rules committee, members of the
House of Representatives will be
called upon to vote on national pro-
hibition and on woman suffrage.
Chairman Henry is opposed to both
of these measures, but he thinks the
two questions might as we'll be
threshed out in this Congress as later.
Representative r. p Hobson of Ala
bama, who retires from Congress
next March, is the leader of the ma
tional prohibition movement. His res
olution looking to action on the
amendment measure seeks to prohibit
the sale, manufacture, importation
and expectation for sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the United States and
Gin territory subject to the jurisdic-
ton thereof" 1t will require a two
thirds vote to pass the proposed
amendment bill and nit will fall far
short Of such majority.
1t will be the same with the pro-
posed suffrage amendment. However,
the champions of these two move
ments will have an opportunity for
oratorical display on the floor of the
House. 1t has been decided to grant
eight hours to Hobson and his prohi-
bition colleagues. The yeas and nays
will be required, and it will be inter-
esting to see just how every represen-
tative stands.
