THE STRIKE EPIDEMIC.

Workmen in the ammunition factor
les and mines of the United States,
Great Britain and Germany are be-
ginning to feel that now is the time TO
strike. The constant demand for mu-
nitions of war make it necessary that
the work go on increasingly. Hence a
strike is looked upon as a menace.
At the Krupp works in Germany a
temporary peace agreement was hasti-
ly made The Welsh mine owners
were forced to grant the miners their
demands by the threat OF the English
military authorities to nationalize the
mines. AS yet no agreement has been
reached at the Remington plant at
Bridgeport, Conn.
The British government believes
that the strikes in America are insti-
gated by German sympathizers. But
it forgets that Germany is having
similar troubles of its own. The Ger
man government might as easily lay
the blame of the Krupp strike on
English spies or agents.
Probably the real cause of the
strikes is the greediness of the capi-
talists who are now reaping fortunes
from the large orders for munitions OF
war. In their selfishness they in
crease the amount of work which the
laborer must do without increasing
his pay.

EDUCATION AND ECONOMY.

Under the heading, NO School
Economy at Expense of the Little
Children" the New York Globe
quotes the New York Board of Educa-
tion as unalterably opposed to sacri-
ficing school efficiency to reduce
school expenses.
The board of superintendent had
recommended the consolidation of two
school buildings under one principal
and the discharge of part of the
teaching force This would give much
larger classes. Inquiry developed the
fact that the superintendents did not
consider such big organizations
pedagogically desirable, but proposed
the change purely to save money. The
board promptly rejected the plan and
censured its advocates
Economy at the expense of effic-
iency is the poorest sort of policy
when it comes to educating the youth
of a state or nation.

An American Citizen

The war in Europe has upset the mental equilibrium of so many people in this country, who have, permitted their sympathies for one side or the other in the conflict to warp their judgment and blind them to certain very obvious facts, that the following letter is worth reproducing here:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 wish to indorse most emphat-
 ically your editorial in todays is
 sue entitled, "A Hyphenated
 American" I also am of German
 blood and sympathize deeply with
 the German people in their terrible
 struggle, but am also American
 and while I hold very decided views
 as to the ammunition export I
 know that, after all is said, it Is
 legitimate trade andN any inter-
 ference with it in an active manner
 must be regarded as contrary to the
 duties of an American citizen.
 The gentleman you mention and
 Colonel Roosevelt represent two
 extremes between which the com
 mon sense and level headedness of
 tn bulk of the American people,
 of whatever descent, can be trust
 ed to preserve their balance. Yours
 truly, JOHN KAUFMAN.
 Altoona, November IT, 1915.
 Though a German-American whose sympathies quite naturally rest with Germany, the writer'is is evidently not the type of "hyphenated American" who has brought great many Ger man residents of the United States into bad ordor with their neighbors. He writes like man of common sense, on whom the oath of allegiance to his adopted country is binding, for veal or woe. He is an American citizen. There is nothing more to be said.
 Whether man is Teuton, Scandi- navian or Slav, once naturalized he owes fealty, first, last and all the time, to his adopted country, so long as he continues to enjoy the privileges of its citizenship. No other ties should be permitted to weaken his loyalty, even though he cannot agree with all the policies of the government under which he lives. To advocate violent to these policies is an- archy, plain and simple.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-11-20

The kind of story that is important if true" is told in a dispatch from New York to the London Daily Mail. It is said that Colonel Roosevelt is so ashamed of the attitude of the United States toward the European war he doubts. whether he could ever again endure to visit Flu rope. When the Iusitania was sunk and American intervention seemed inevitable the Mails correspondent declares it was a. fairly open secret that Colonel Roosevelt made immediate preparations for raising force of about 12,O00 men, similar to his Rough Riders who won fame in the Spanish-American war. He even went so far, it is said, as to select generals, colonels, majors and some Of the captains, his adiutant general being q man who has long been known as one of the ablest officers of the United States cavalry. Colonel Roosevelt is re- ported to have covered every detail of orr ganization and felt sure that he and his men within three months would be fight ing in Flanders To forego this dream, says the veracious correspondent "has been one of the bitterest disappointments of his life'

Lonesome Year fer the Colonel

,"As the progessives are returning fast to their old republican allegiance the G. 0. P. will be encouraged to or ganize and conduct a vigorous cam paIgn in 1916" said Maurice H. Sled Ter of Chicago.
 'I am a business man and in no sense Q politician, but I have never failed to vote the straight republican ticket since I reached my majority in 1892. When I cast my ballot for Taft in 1912 knew of course that the dem- ocrats would have walk over, as Q result of ex-President Roosevelt; !; course. MT. Wilson was a strong man. but owing to the progressive move- rnent any democrat could have had an easy victory.
 "The question now is, with the re- pub1icans reunited, will there be a chance to beat President Wilson for reelection? As the situation stands republican leaders can have little hope of winning, but they will look with enthusiasm to 1920. The mere fact of getting together in 1916 will be a dis tinct achievement
 "As for Colonel Roosevelt next year will find him very lonesome. for he will be about the only one of the pro- gressive party which he led in 1912 left''

Increase in Live Stock Industry

In a recently published statement Commissioner of Agriculture Wade expressed disappointment that the farmers of Alabama were backward with their fall blowing.
 The lateness of the autumn easily accounts for this backward condition SD far as the cotton belt is concerned. In the northwestern part of the state where crop diversification is more general a great deal of land has been plowed and seeded with winter wheat and winter oats, and between now and the end of November the farmers in sothern Alabama will have made up as far as possible for lost time.
 As diversification has been such a success this year it was reasonable to hope that still higher results would be made in 1916; and the indications are now that there will be large in- crease in corn production and the rais- ing of live stock.
 The fact that this years corn crop in Alabama is greater by something like 40 per cent than was ever grown before should certainly encourage the farmer to do still better.
 As for live stock no branch of ag- riculture has aroused so much enthus- iasm within the past two years as the raising of hogs and beef cattle. Nearly everything produced on the farm yields a fair profit when mod ern methods are employed. But not even cotton with an average of good prices will pay better in the long run than we'll bred cattle.
 The animal industry in this state is making remarkable strides and the announcement of the Alabama State Fair association, through its presi- dent, R. A. Brown, that $15,O00 in premiums for cattle exhibits would be offered next year, as compared with S5OOO paid last month, will have a wonderfully stimulating effect. It is the intention of the management ot the. fair to have the best cattle ex- hibit here in 1916 seen anywhere south of Chicago. The splendid ex- hibit at this years fair was a revela- tion to the public. But next years dis play of cattle will far eclipse it.
 Alabama is now close up to Georgia in corn production. At the rate it has been going it will soon be ahead oi it. It will certainly lead all the south. ern states of the southeastern group in beef.

A Quinquennial Census

The United States census bureau offered to make an enumeration of in cities of 100000 and up- ward this year and to bulletin the re- suit, on the condition that the eXpen- ses of such enumeration be borne by each city in question.
 There is a growing interest in census figures, but few cities accepted Uncle Sam's offer. The value of an official count would not at this time justify the cost. The expense of talk ing census of Birmingham, as an in- stance, would be about $5000.
 The state of New York takes a complete census in the middle of each decade for the purpose of readjusting its birth and death rate statistics. This is an especially important matter for city of such vast population as Greater New York.
 In the last twenty or thirty years the question of population has had a wide commercial bearing on cities, and on states as well--a bearing scarcely considered in the earlier dec ades-and in view of that fact the government should take a census of the whole country quinquennially; after 1920 every five years.
 The SiXty-fifth Congress will have to provide for taking the next census, and it might be well to insert in the census bill a clause authorizing the change from decennial to a quin- quennial system.
 Birmingham's population is con- servatively estimated today at 1sO,- 900. The city has started on a new forward movement, and within the next few years it's growth will be at a phenomenal rate. In 1920 it's popu- lation will probably be considerably above the 25O,000 mark, and there is no telling how high the figures will climb by 1925.

HOTEL LOBRIES
Winter Tourists Coming Early

T am told the railroads reaching Flor ida and gulf ports are preparing for an unusually large winter tourist business this season." said T. D. Parham of Pitts burg.
 While in New York last week I met a prominent passenger traffic official who told me that the outlook was for a record-breaking business on railroads traversing winter resort territory. Two reasons are given for the roseate ex- pect tions on the part of transportation companies One is the uncomfortably cool summer that prevailed in New Eng land, New York, Pennsylvania and the lake region, indicating a very hard win ter. The other is the sudden prosperity that has overtaken the country.
 Thousands of northern people wish to go to a mild climate where the tempera- ture is equable. Pleasure seekers all through the east are now flush with money and the south will get the benefit of the greatest tourist travel ever known.
 The tourists are coming south earlier than usual"

Cotton Acreage Next Year

Having visited Texas recently I would say it was safe prediction that the cotton acreage in that state next year would be considerably increased over the somewhat reduced acreage planted last spring." said NJ. V. Mar tin of St. Louis, land it need not be surprising to see normal acreage in several, if not in most. of the cotton states.
 "But even with normal acreage the south's 1916 crop could hardly ex- ceed 13,000,0O0 or 13.500,000 tales, for the simple reason that comparatively little fertilizer will be used. And while the yield per acre will be much below the average the cost of production will be low enough to make up for a low level of prices. But it seems to be the prevailing opinion among Texas farm CTS and Texas merchants that 13,- 00o,0O0 bale crop in 1916 will bring good prices Some statisticians estimate that consumers needs next year will be sufficient to more than take up the surplus carried over from the bumper crop made in 1914 and all of this year 6 short crop.
 "The 1915 crop now being marketed will hardly exceed 10.500,000 baless All men in the cotton trade as far as I am informed expect to see 14-cent or 15-cent cotton before next spring"
