IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Injustice to Great Actor

..The injustice of the public generally toward the theatrical profession was exemplified last week in the untimely death of Honey Boy George Evans said Brown Parkes.
 Tt will be recalled that at the recent engagement of Evans at the Jefferson theatre he was unable to appear to the great disappointment of his many friends and admirers in this city Al though the price of admission was re- funded to those who did not care to see the performance without it's brightest star, there were those unkind enough to spread the report that Evans was lying drunk at one of the leading hotels of the city.
 As a matter of fact Evans was very abstenuous regarding intoxicants and rarely ever indulged. Instead of being drunk he was stricken while in Bir- mingham with the ailment that ended with his death on the operating table.
 Evans had a long and successful career and never failed to keep an en- gagement unless prevented by sickness. Actors are just as liable to the :ills that mortal flesh Is heir to as the pub lie, and I might suggest that the next time an actor fails to show up, it were but charity to give him the benefit of the doubt an dnot cast slurs on his character as was done in the case of George Evans

Says Dog Law Is Needed

Frank T. Richardson, formerly vice president of the Birmingham Paint and Glass company of this city but now a cotton planter and stock raiser on a large scale at Mooresville, Ala, is spending a few days in Birmingham, the guest of T. T. Ashaford.
 Mir Richardson reports a decrease in the cotton acreage of north Alabama for the present year of at least 25 per cent. This reduction, he says, is due to some lands not being cultivated at all, oth- CTS left for pasturage and the planting of more small grain and hay prepara- tory to raising more hogs, cattle, sheep and colts in future.
 But, says he if the legislature does not pass a state- wide law taxing dogs the raising of sheep will be an un- profitable venture, as every negro owns from four to six starving dogs. whose only means of sustaining life is by sucking chicken eggs, quail eggs and killing sheep lambs and young pigs The negro, continues MT. Richardson, as is well known, is constitutionally averse to paying taxes on anything. A dog tax would eliminate the worthless cur and make sheep and goat raising profitable industries, besides increasing the supply of eggs and chickens, which in itself is no small item

More Encouraging Week

The drift of affairs this week has been
 more encoura ging," says Henry Clews'
 weekly financial review. Congress ad-
 journed, much to the relief of business
 men with large responsibilities; and the
 war, while lacking in decisive events,
 promises to be of shorter duration than
 sometimes feared.
 Home business conditions are certainly becoming more satisfactory. There is no doubt that domestic trade conditions are generally sound. The volume of business. it is true, is very moderate. This is par tially due to lack of confidence and uni versal conservatism. The number of un- employed is large; railroad earnings and bank clearings confirm trade inactivity, 1 and the spirit of economy has almost everywhere supplanted the spirit of ex- | travagance Without the war we should have probably had to face some reac- I ton, and the wonder is that depression ] has not been worse
 Throughout our agricultural regions there is little cause for complaint. the situation in the grain districts being gen erally satisfactory owing to the large I foreign demand and good prices for all 1 food products. The cotton belt is an ex- l ception, inasmuch as 1t feels the re- l Luction of foreign demand as well as the | lower prices which growers are forced l to accept What the next season will
 bring to the south is an interesting prob- | lem, since it Is certain that less cotton will be grown and more grain.
 | One of the most satisfactory symptoms | of recovery is the slow but sure increase | of activity in the iron trade. Orders are 1 coming in more freely for many steel l products, and the proportion of unem- | ployed plant is steadily decreasing. Bet | ter prices are also occasionally obtained; | although this industry stiIl' has much room l for improvement before normal condi- 1 tions are attained"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-03-08
As to Cotton and Other Crops

Last fall when the cotton situation was most distressing, many farmers
 resolved that they would plant no cotton this year and others that they would reduce their cotton acreage full fly 50 per cent They were in such frame of mind with regard to the next crop that little urging on the part of Farmers union or bankers was necessary to bring them to a fixed opinion that the only way to overcome the depression caused oy low prices due to the war together with an excessive crop was for the south to produce only half a crop in 1915.
 When the staple was selling a few months ago at six cents, it looked as if it might go no higher for some time to come. But when the price advanced to eight cents, the farmers became optimistic and began to pre- dict still higher prices-10 or 12 cents before the next crop was in sight. With a large surplus of the highest record crop ever made carried over, to be added to the 1915 yield, the only sure way to get the price up and keep it up is to greatly reduce the planting this spring. That it will be reduced to some extent may be taken as matter of course, but will i the acreage be 50 per cent or even 30 per cent less than that of 1914, is now the question: The movement of 1 fertilizers is backward, but the ton- mage coming to the cotton belt prom ises to exceed the estimates of month ago.
 A nine or ten million-bale crop would be ample, or more than ample to "even up" the bumper production of last year. If the south should pro- duce 12,000,000 or 13,00O000 bales as now seems possible, the level of prices will be disappointing
 But the more important question with which the Alabama farmer will have to deal is that relating to crop diversification. Will he raise enough grain, hay and live stock to supply himself and have some to sell? "Less cotton and more of everything else," should be the slogan. Even if the cot ton crop should be larger than the de- mand warrants, the farmer who puts into practice crop diversification on wider scale, will be better off this fall than he has ever been before.
 The diversification campaign aroused vast deal of enthusiasm in the agricultural districts. It is hoped and believed that that enthusiasm will not spend itself until good profit is borne.

yh reorganization along modern

ough reorganization along modern lines.
 Apropos of the situation from a national defense point of view Richard Stockton, Jr's book of 200 pages en- titled Peace Insurance" just pub lished by McClung & Go. of Chicago, is of absorbing interest. The author IS a trained soldier and is at present the head of the Bordentown, N. J., Military institute. He writes as a lover of peace-a pacifist-but at the same time a stanch champion of the army and clear-headed defender of a military policy that would result in regular establishment, maintained in high state of efficiency. He presents In detail many facts and arguments to show that preparedness makes for peace. He does not contend, of course, that it absolutely insures peace. The European war disproves any theory of that sort. But he insists that mili- tary preparation goes a long way to preventing war and enables the nation that does become involved to fight with due economy of life and means and bring hostilities to speedier end than would be possible with militia troops as the principal dependence.
 Stockton reviews the military his- tory of the United States with clarity and convincing aim, and in discussing the ethics of war quotes Ruskin and Emerson, two distinguished pacifists, on the side of battle. But no sage who has lived in ancient or later times has spoken so tersely as George Wash ington, patriot, soldier, statesman and lover of peace. Mir. Stockton quotes him thus: Regular troops alone are equal to the exigencies of modern war, as well for defense as offense; and when substitute is attempted it must prove illusory and runious. The firmness requisite for the real busi- ness of fighting is only to be att tained by constant course of discip- line and science" And certainly no one knew better than Washington.
 Let the pacifists preach peace and work for peace, now and all the time. But the trouble with so many ardent pacifists is they soon become "pacifi- maniacs,' a word coined by Prof. R. M. Johnson of Harvard.

Peace and National Defense


 The impression that the European war will not last much longer is grow ing; this despite England's Hong struggle" talk
 Various causes contribute to the be- lief that the cessation of hostilities will soon be agreed upon, among them the rapidly diminishing food supply in Germany and Austria, and the efforts on the part of the great financial in terests of the world to stop the enor- nous drain on the material resources of the belligerent nations.
 The fall of Constantinople will be the most decisive event of the war, and will mark the approach of the end. In the meanwhile the God-fearing peo- pie in neutral countries will continue to unite in prayer for peace.
 1 All the world will join in the peace movement and shortly after the war is over peace jubilees in the great cities of the earth will be in order
 In America those agitators who think that all international disputes could be and should be settled by arr bitration and who urge disarmament as national policy will be particular ly active in their anti-military propa- ganda. They are already organized into leagues and unions that seek to cast dishonor upon the profession of arms. American citizens are asked to pledge themselves never to bear arms. Such a movement is to be strongly deprecated.
 All patriotic Americans should oppose war except when the nation is threatened with invasion by an enemy or when arbitration fails to accomplish by peaceful methods that which justice and right demand. But it is anything but patriotic for men to commit themselves to the proposition of opposing war under any condition whatsoever. Those citizens who "agi- tate" against the army and navy against the military training o1 youth, may mean we'll but they are not the men who build the nation or helr keep it's honor unsullied.
 The United States has a strong navy and it will be stronger within tho next two years. While the Sixty-thire Congress did not do all that the maya board asked in increasing oversee fighting equipment, it was more lib eral than any recent Congress hat been. But the army is entirely made quate and the Sixty-fourth Congress will be expected to provide for the needed increase in men and a thor.
