The Legion and the Colonel

The American Legion-300, ,000 strong-which was worked out on paper few weeks ago, found no favor at Washington, and the scheme has evidently fallen through.
 The legion was to be composed of men who had seen service in the Uni ted States army, either as regulars or volunteers, or in the United States navy. It was to constitute the first reserve line in the event of war. Colonel Roosevelt and his four sons were to be actively identified with the smovement" and as Maj.-Gen. Leon- ard Wood had given it his approval, and as his aide-de-camp was promot- ing it the project assumed a semi official character, in spite of the fact that General Wood disavowed any connection with it further than to say it looked good.
 SOioicl eooocFcit Hdo ioHS iiidill- fested fondness for the military life, and no one ever questioned his patriot ism, but some of his political op- ponents were unkind enough to sug- gest that the American Legion was to serve mainly as promoter of the colonel's political fortunes.
 Not many lookers-on in this country regarded the legion seriously. But in Germany it was different. When the story, as current news, was tele- graphed to Berlin, it was exaggerated and twisted. The report was spread that Colonel Roosevelt was raising an

The Last Great Reunion

The Confederate Veterans reunion at Richmond, June 1 to 3, promises to be one of the largest in the at tendance of visitors to that historic city in its records, said Maxwell Cox we'll, district passenger agent of the Southern railway.
 Tt will probably be the last one with any large attendance of veter- ans, for very sad reason--the rapid depletion of their ranks by the grim reaper It will have peculiar sig nificance as it will be the final visit of many to the battlefields of the Vir- ginias and Carolinas. In the matter of time and opportunity for the veterans and others to visit the great battle helds and other historic points the Southern railway has provided a 30 days trip, good to stop over at any point of interest, including the pop ular watering places. The fare for vis- .tors will be the usual nominal one, making the cost very reasonable.
 For the entertainment of the thou- sands of visitors, Richmond is snak- ing preparations to break the enviable record held by that historic, hospisable city"

Birmingham's Clean-Up Day

According to a proclamation by the city commission next Tuesday will be Birmingham's cleanup day. Many householders keep their premises clean every day in the year, but oth- CTS, less particular, allow garbage to accumulate in their back yards.
 No one with due regard for sani- tation will fail in cleanliness, but as many yards are far from clean at this season of the year it becomes the duty of the city commission to see to it that the cleanup order is fully car- ried out.
 As the first principle of the city beautiful is cleanliness, Tuesdays en- forced activities should be the begin ming of voluntary movement on the part of everybody to do something toward making Birmingham model city esthetically as well as from the sanitary point of. view.
 Cleanup day last year was great success. The samesgood record should be made this week.

Value of Alabama Farm Property

If Alabama's farm property, in cluding land, live stock and imple- ments, doubled in value from 1900 to 1910, it should almost treble in value in this decade, compared with last.
 Little attention had been given to crop diversification prior to 1910. Throughout the last decade cotton was the one money crop in most sections of the state. Two or three years ago farmers in the cotton belt began to increase their grain and hay acreage. The corn production last year and the year before was upwards of 60,000,- 900 bushels, but as result of the recent diversification movement the corn yield this year should reach the 8O,OO0,000 mark and the year fol- lowing it should not be surprising if it passes the 100,0OO,OO0 mark.
 Before 1920 Alabama's annual corn production will probably total 2O0,- 000,000 bushels. There should be large increase in hay, oats, wheat, truck and live stock. Diversification and good roads will work wonders.
 When Alabama progresses to the point of feeding itself, there will be rapid advance in farm land values, and prosperity will abound throughout the length and breadth of the state. The crop diversification campaign has aroused great enthusiasm and the in- terest in the movement must not be allowed to flag.
 According to the census bureau the total value of Alabama's farm proper ty in 1910 was $37O, ,138, ,429. Let the farmers keep up their present pace and farm property values in 1920 will
 be something like one billion dollars.

NOT THAT KIND OF A MINISTER

Madame Hegermann-L -Lindencronne, au- thor of the recently published book, 'The Sunny Side of Diplomatic Life,' tells of an incident that happened when she and her husband-then Danish min- ister to the United States--were travel ing in the west They were spneoing Sun day in the Yosemite valley, when imme- diately after breakfast a man knocked at their door and with huns and haws said he had been sent to ask MT.

impulses led him to undertake the building up of transportation lines and a wide variety of industries; for he saw that without these factors Russia could never make substantial headway or maintain strong position among the enlightened nations of the earth.
 He was not only a student of politi- cal economy as a science, but he knew how to apply that science and give it practical direction. He was the father of the present railway system of Russia, and thousands of factories that afford employment to wage earn CTS sprang up as the result of his in itiative.
 In diplomacy Count Witte displayed marked acumen and exceptional skill in the peace conference at Portsmouth, N. H., in 1905, which ended the Russo Japanese war. It was his diplomacy and influence that secured terms un- der which his country was not re- quired to pay a war indemnity to Japan. It was a notable achievement and caused Russian people to regard the count as the empires most popu- lar hero.
 When the history of Russia is writ ten few names in it will have such an honored place as that of Count Witte.

The Woman Voter

Persons who are disposed to look on votes for women as subversive of all established customs and liable in the long run to result in tremendous upheavals, both in the relations of the sexes and in matters of state, should find consolation in the way women al- ready in possession of the ballot have conducted themselves in some recent elections. The charge that they sold their votes in a Kentucky election seems to indicate that they are at least "human" and subject to the temptations that assail the man voter. However, the Ken lucky incident is not to be taken seriously. If all women voted few of them would probably sell their votes, just as few men do in every community, but that would only lndi- cate that there isn't so much differ ence between women voters and men 
 voters after all.
 In the municipal election held not long since in Chicago women voted for republican and democratic candi- dates with an enthusiasm and party loyalty that could not have been sur passed by their fathers, sons, sweet hearts, husbands and brothers. They also seemed no more disposed to "take up with" reform candidate" than male voters. In other states, notably in California, women have paid scant heed to the efforts of fanatics to interest them in reform waves" and have in some cases voted for an "open town" policy. Here in Alabama some of the most influential women of Mobile actively opposed the attempt to make Mobile "dry," and their efforts had great deal to dc with keeping the city "wet."
 The hope of Colonel Roosevelt's progressive party that women could be relied on to vote the progressive ticket has been found vain delusion There is, in fact, breach between Miss Jane Addams, formerly one ot Colonel Roosevelt's stoutest support CTS, and the bull moose leader.
 Whether or not women should vote is debatable, and is being debated just now from one end of the country tc the other, but so far as party affilia- ? tions are concerned women who have already acquired the ballot seem tc vote much as the men do, without showing any marked predilection fol the so-called reformed candidates"

Death of a Great Russian

In the death of Count Sergius Witte Russia sustains very serious loss. Although he had retired from of ficial activities his counsel was still sought by the Czar and the ministry, and his influence was still felt throughout the empire.
 Count Witte was only 66 years of age, and but for his untimely end he would have been able to render valuable service in bringing about business recovery after the war.
 Always loyal to the monarchy, he was leader of the progressive ele- ment that won in the agitation for constitutional government. He was the first prime minister under the new order.
 Count Witte was great statesman and combined in an unusual degree a knowledge and grasp of business af- fairs, a passion for the industrial inn movement of Russia and genius for solving difficult governmental prob lems.
 On completing his university edu- cation he entered the railway service, and in that field found ample oppor- tunity for the exercise of his con structiye ability and the development of his capacity for hard work. His brsadth of vision and his patriotic
