SCHOLEYS PLACE ROBBED r OR
 THIRD TIME
HAUL IS LIGHT, BUT THE AMATEURS CAN WORK SLOT MACHINE WITH ABUNDANT GOODS.
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.)

Scholey Brothers cigar store for the third time this year was burglar ized on Monday morning, presumably at an carly hour, but the cleanup con sisted principally of an old 45-calibrc revolves, and a hat full of brass s1ugs that are used to manipulate the ma chine on the counter. All drawers were opened, and the cash register also was not overlooked.
 An effort was made to pry open the wall case that has stored in it many valuable old silver coins as we'll as rich gold ore specimens, but the novices bungled the job. The electric light globe was removed indicating that the burglars desired to work in the dark, and that they were very timid is shown by their delicate ef- forts in handling tools to get into places that were locked. A pane of glass was removed from the rear part ot the building to effect an entrance Profting from their experience of the past, the Scholeys remove all valu- ables from the building after closing their business for the night.

DUNKIRK OUTPUT
 CONTINUES TO BE HEAVY
(From Saturdays DalIy.l


 D. NJ. Clark, superintendent of the Dunkirk mines of Slate creek, was in the city yesterday making arrange ments for shipping another carload oi concentrates to Hayden smelters, this being the fourteenth car of this yield and raw ore to leave the mine in the past four months.
 Clark states the mill is running daily and is treating twenty tons of ore on a shift. The concentrate pro duct which started to arrive yesterday by freight teams, samples $6O in cop per, $15 in silver and $ in gold to the ton. This exceptionally nigh grade yield is due to the oil Notation pro cess that is working admirably. The recovery of values reaches to 90 per cent of the values carried in the ores, as against less than 50 per cent by the old method.
 This property is being operated with a small force for the present, but later larger plan of operation is to go ahead, since orc bodies are being opened to warrant a heavier produc- ton. City Clerk Frank Whisman is interested with Mir. Clark in this un- dertaking.

 Because the commission did not follow conventional lines and so pre- scnted facts and materials that are usually carefully suppressed and nos available to the masses of the peo- ple,' the report continues, there was initiated against the commission a campaign for the purpose of discredit- ing in advance the final report How ever, the labor movement as well as all citizens who have sympathy and understanding of the lives of the wage earners united in determined effort to defeat this campaign and to make known their approval of the policy the commission followed'

(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 Alvin Cruxdale, who arrived Sun day from Needles, reports the first holdup of its kind, which took place last Thursday afternoon on the des- ert, an auto being used.
 The place was on the main travelled road near the Waterman mine north of Barstow, and the highwaymen were aboard of a car of their own. Their victims were party of four Eastern tourists who were en route home af- ter visiting San Francisco, two men and two women. They not only re fused to give their names. but also a description of the two men, saying that if captured a return trip to the court would be necessary.

They stated they were approached by the bandits, who were partly masked with red bandana handkerchieks tied across their faces. By the aid of re- volvers in their hands the job was neatly and quickly carried out The robbers followed for few minutes in the rear, and then took a side road leading to the north A fusillade from a revolver of one was the final part ing, and the Fasteners were pleased when they were out of sight.

The Democratic Convention

Dallas, Tex, deserves a great deal of credit for it's pluck in trying to get the national democratic convention next year, but the committee will probably decide in favor either of St. Louis or Chicago" said s. J. Thurman of St. Paul. I have visited Dallas more than once-was there two years ago-and gladly testify to the genera, attractiveness of the place and the public spirit of it's people. Dallas would entertain the big convention in royal style, but it is too far out of the way. Chicago and St. Louis are so access sible as to make them especially desir- able as convention cities.
 If my memory serves me right, neither of the two great political parties has held a convention in the south. Some day Bfr- mingham will be a convention candidate maybe for 1924 or 1928 This strikes me as being centrally enough located. In the meantime only the great big cities will, l suppose, be seriously considered"

Growth of Cities

All the great cities like New York, Chi cago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Louis and Pittsburg continue to grow steadily. even through periods of depression, while those of a smaller class do well to hold their own," said Joseph T. Middleton of Chicago.
 But now that prosperity is in full swing, every city of any get up will in- crease in population. In the last census Birmingham showed phenomenal growth. According to the estimates of the United States census bureau, July 1, 1914, Bir- mlngham is credited with population of 166,l54. As industrial conditions are boom ing here, there has probably been con- siderable gain in the last few months. I would estimate the populat ton today at 1S5,000 or 190,0O0. It is a safe guess that Birmingham will outstrip Atlanta in 1920. which will make it the largest city south of the Ohio, barring only Louisville and New Orleans. Birmingham has a splendid future indeed, and there are men here now who will live to see it well above the 500,000 mark"

The Bankers and the Crops

The conference of cotton state bank CTS to be held at New Orleans next Monday and Tuesday for the purpose of discussing crop plans for 1916 and to inaugurate a diversification cam- paign for the entire cotton south will be of the highest importance and a large attendance is now assured. Ala bama will be we'll represented.
 The bankers are expected to "take a firm stand and base their 1916 credit to farmers upon the absolute agree ment to plant specified acreage in food crops" For several years past individual bankers have been urging crop diversification, but this is the first time that there has been any thing like a united and determined movement along this line.
 In the current year Alabama has led the cotton states Ill d1verSltlcatlon and so satisfactory have been the re- suits that little urging should be needed for the farmers to continue the practice.
 Most of the cotton growers in this state-all except those in northern counties-have suffered seriously from the boil weevil, and many of them will turn their attention almost entirely to other crops during the next year or two. Yet the action of the bankers will have good effect on the Alabama situation in a general way.
 The diversification campaign can not be overdone, and in a number of states it will be the salvation of the farmer.

The New Jersey musician had evidently read some account of this original and sngularl;y heautlful work. The leading publisher of Episcopal choir music in this country has accepted Memolis Te Deum and I suppose it will be on sale before a great while'

PROGRESS BY KICKING

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 naval lieutenant, assigned to conl- mand submarine, found the storage bat teries in what he considered an unsafe condition and reported to his superior, a rear admiral. The superior considered the lieutenant's action merely kick He refused to have all batteries examined, even after investigation showed that the subordinate officers ''kick'' was based on fact, and accepted the vessel as 1t stood.
 The matter went to court-martial and the rear admiral was acquitted of negli- genee. Secretary Daniels disapproved the finding of the court.
 Any superior who objects to having his subordinates kick occasionally is not de- serving of his rank. Bureaucracy where- ever it has developed to curse democracy. is based on precisely the theory this rear admiral appears to have adopted; that all wisdom is centered in the heads of chiefs, and that the only thing that need con- cern subordinates is the following of or ders without questioning or protest.
 The world advances by kicking. Re- forms are results of kicking and exper- fence shows that by no means all the profitable kicking in the past has been done by men in gold-laced uniforms or by commanders of industries. Lieutenants and privates have done their share, men in subordinate positions who have dared the wrath of superiors by complaining when things were not right.
 Kick. the oftener the better. Were kicking to cease. the world would stag nate.
