 Lieutenant Governor Thomas E. kilby and his secretary, w. A. Darden. had business in Birmingham yesterday. MT. Kilby expressed regret that the neces- sity of his attending commencement at the state normal at Jacksonville pre- vented his attending commencement at Tuseal loosa.
 Yes. I am ready for the July session of the legislature" said the lieutenant governor. although on account of the heat, that session will hardly be pleasant. There will be a fine opportunity offered however for hard work, and I believe that the legislature, in revising and transforming the systems of taxa tion and judiciary will render a service to the state of such signal value that the people for many years to come will benefit"

Dan Boards DuffeI Bag.
Of course. the only DuffIe Bag for
Christmas is the one carried on the
back of Santa Claus, the one that has
real angible gifts in it. So you must
forgive your National Scout Commits
sioner if he only furnishes you with
thoughts in place of material things,
for after all every material thing had
to be thought first. The ball, the
bat, the boat, the skate, the gun, the
bow, the sled, the book, this magazine
all were thoughts to begin with The
same can be said of our Movement
the Boy Scouts of America, our uni
form and our rules, our oath and our
law.
That is not all. Self-government, on
which our great country is founded.
was only thought at first, and first
put in practice on this soil by the
Pilgrims when they landed from the
Mayf1ower. You see, those sturdy peo-
pie intended to land down in Virginia,
somewhere south of the Hudson river,
around Cape Cod and they had no
charter from King James for any
settlement up there and no Governor
appointed by the King, so they set up
a little government of their own and
elected their officers in good demo-
cratic fashion and made real the
thought of self government.
This is the glorious Christmas time,
and let us all be thankful that we can
enjoy it in peace under the shade of
Old Glory. Poor old Santa Claus will
have a distressing time on the other
side Of the waters where a few men
with crowns on their heads are di-
rno 1f 1@1
crowns in their effort to exterrninate
each other for purposes not under
standable by people who believe in
Self-government.
Imagine Santa Claus over there,
creeping down a chimney in the night
time only to find himself in the ruined
habitation deserted or occupied by the
dead and dying. Imagine the Christ
Child trying to find its way around in
the binding powder smoke or the
suffocat!ng fumes of poisonous gas!
Poor old SantaI His eyes will be I'M
able to twinkle over there for they
will be blinded with tears.
Then let US give him a hearty well
come here and help him in his efforts
to make people happy. OF course San
ia Claus himself is only a thought, an
idea, but he is a happy thought and a
beautiful idea and he and his tiny
reindeer will always be dear to the
hearts of the American children.
That is. dear to the hearts of the
American children as long as they are
American children. That they re-
main American children, is up to you
scouts. You are the boys to keep the
traditions of freedom and self-gov-
eminent living. you are the boys to
follow the teachings of Thomas JEFF
ferson and Abraham Lincoln to make
this country the home of justice and
not of kings and cranks (although we
mead q fnu mis- fn furnish
with ideasb-the home of high ideals,
lofty ambitions, personal freedom and
good scouts, where every citizen is ex-
pected to do his good turn daily, and
obey the Scout law, for the Scout law
Independence will go hand in hand
where every citizen is a monarch in
his own right.
From this we see that to have
thing or make thing we must think

it first. This opens a grand Christ
mas idea. 1t puts US back into the
time of the fairy stories, when the
godmother would give US three wishes.
These fairy stories are true. in that
if we wish for a thing hard enough
and long enough we will get it-fOr we
will work for it and win. Then let us
all agree now to work for a happier
land and a merrier Christmas each
year Of our lives.
