Home Rule for Birmingham

A municipality as unit of gov ernment should have jurisdiction over all public utility corporations which operate exclusively within the boun- dary of municipality.
 It would be decidedly unwise for the legislature to enact law which would deny to municipalities such jurisdiction and control. The legisla- ture, however, would be justified in so ordering affairs that the state would acquire the right of supervision over corporations which extend their service to and between several munich palities.
 The people of Birmingham and the legislators who are entrusted with the duty of protecting the interests of this city should adopt as one of their chief slogans: "Home Rule for Bir- mingham."

Dr. Cunningham's Beneficent Work

Since Dr. R. M. Cunningham be- came the city's health officer he has labored increasingly in a very practi- cal way to improve Birmingham sanitary condition and his efforts have been crowned with marked success. Dr. Cunningham's educational bulle- tins issued from time to time on how to prevent disease have been worth much to this community. These bulle- tins have been written in popular style and have had ready appeal for the heads of families.
 Birmingham is today a healthy city, comparatively speaking. Typhoid fever is the only disease that is giv- ing the health officer much concern and he hopes that the time will soon come when typhoid cases will be ex- tremely rare. Flies and dry closets contribute chiefly to the spread of typhoid lever. Dr. Cunningham mas succeeded in greatly reducing the number of dry closets, but there are 5000 of them left, and the owners of the property are too poor to install sewer connections. 1t is believed that the city commission will find some way to abate the insanitary condition referred to.
 AS for flies, there are more of them here this summer than usual. Dr. Cunningham urges all citizens to as sist in getting rid of these pests.
 With typhoid fever eliminated Bir- mingham will be, according to state ment of the health officer, the healthiest city in all the south.

In the Wheat Fields

Cooks wanted!
 Not just one or two cooks, but a thousand of them
 So states a call from the Kansas harvest fields. Men have been im- ported into the harvest fields by thousands, now the need is for cooks to feed them.
 No shortage of food in this country of ours-no resorting to potato flour" or other means of eking out a scanty food supply. The harvest fields of the United States are standing lush and yellow, or yielding their heavy heads to the sweep of the reaper.
 Men and boys swarm under the har- vest sun, building the yellow pyra- mids of ripened grain.
 The harvest is great, the fields bringing forth an hundredfold- in the midst of mans pride in his prowess as a husbandman, he is con- fronted with the fact that after all he is entirely dependent upon the cook. Men raise the crop and prepare it for cooking, there their work nomi- nally ends.
 The Kansas man is original and full of initiative-but he doesn't tackle the cooking job-he advertises for help No doubt the response will be equal to the emergency, and over the har- vest fields will be waited the odors of crisp ham and flaky biscuit. What more dignified occupation can the world afford that the grow ing of grain and the making of it into bread?
 Arts, luxuries, artificialities of all kinds may be swept away in a world calamity, but the sowing and reaping and kneading of bread goes on--as permanent as the earth itself.

of the people, shall not of it's own volition, change governmental condi- tions in Birmingham, and, in a meas ure, tend to destroy that which, when worked out to it's logical conclusion, will be of inestimable value.
 The members of the delegation have not publicly stated their purpose. Rather than oppose the referendum, however, they should welcome it. As a matter of fact before they at tempted to increase the number of commissioners and so change condi- tions that danger to efficient and honest government was presented, they should have had certain con- sideration for those who made them legislators and obtained at least some expression from the people.
 If the delegation plans to prevent the election and handicap the peo- pie in their desire to express them selves, it argues a knowledge on it's part of certain fala. weakness in its cause.

As to When War wiII End

"Colonel House, President Wilson's close personal friend. who has recently re- turned from Europe gives out interviews 1T, an optimistic vein about matters in general. but he reports that nothing he saw or learned indicated an early peace, said close observer of world affairs.
 Granting that Colonel House met and talked with high officials of the nations engaged in hostllties, l would be willing to make a wager that the war win be over before the summer is past.
 My synpathies have not been with either side. I blame Germany and blame England and I blame Russia for this terrible carnage. But as a locker on, it is plain to my mind that Germany Is able to whip any two or three of her opponents, and maybe all. expect to see Germany getting the best of 1t right along. If such turns out to be the case, there will be separate proposals for media ton within the next three months. I may be wrong, of course, but I should be very much disappointed if the war lasts beyond summer"

Should Welcome Referendum

If reports which have been given publicity are true, an effort will be made probably at the instance of the legislative delegation of this county to prevent the referendum election June 28 on the question of the pro- posed increase in the number of com missioners.
 Such action may be attempted on a contention that the referendum cleo tion will be extra-legal, and that no funds have been or could properly be appropriated to cover the expenses of such an election.
 If the city should be enjoined from paying clerks and returning officers of such an election, the election, never theless, could be held. The people are determined that the delegation, acting without authority or expressed wish

National Security and Peace

There are pacifists and pacifi- maniacs-advocate of peace with honor and advocates of peace at any price. Fortunately the latter are few ip number.
 NThe American Peace and Arbitra- tion league has, in quiet way, sought to develop a strong public sentiment for arbitration among nations, there by lessening the possibilities of war. The honorary presidents of this or ganization are Woodrow Wilson, Will liam H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, and the active president is Henry Clews. The great majority of patri- otic Americans are in sympathy with this league. Its members are pacif- ists of the sane type; but the extreme pacifists-the pacifimaniacs-w would, if they had their way, get rid of the navy and turn the army into police battalions. The agitators for peace at any price have ceased to attract at tention or to command following.
 At the pree time the most active organization dealing with the question of war is the National Security league. In. it's ranks are many of the prominent men who hold membership
 
 in the Peace and Arbitration league; but the first object is to educate the public to the overwhelming importance of this country strengthening it's de- fense. The reason why England has made such a poor showing in the European war is because of its mili- tary unpreparedness as compared with

Boston symphony at Exnosi,,on

The Boston symphony, which has a rule of never travelling far from home deviated and made trip across the con tinent for the purpose of giving 13 on certs in San Francisco at the Panama Pacific exposition, and that great organ ization met with an ovation" said mu- sic lover. "A diffedent programme was rendered each night and all the master composers were heard. The aggregate attendance was 4600O.
 Wagner night drew the biggest crowd Time was when Wagner was considered over the heads of American audiences, but now he is the most popular of all the masters.
 The Boston Symphony orchestra has never been south of the Potomac but once. That was sometime in the eighties, vixen Nikisch was conductor. It gave three concerts in Richmond, and two rr three in Atlanta. The cost of the performances were guaranteed and that meant that the orchestra played at fair profit; but the management concluded that as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash ngton supplied capacity houses on every appearance in those cities. they would limit the towns to the cities named"

asked whether France would be willing to stop without regaining Alsace-Lorraine. which for the most part Is still held by Germany. a
 As for Belgium. the allies are in honor bound to right it's wrongs, ana Germany could hardly give better proof of good intentions than by voluntarily evacuating Belgian territory and giving the indemnity which the imperial chancellor pledged last Aug ust. And to this should be a4tit,sssa. ted handsome sum by the allies not as resti- tuition, but as mark of gratitude for the way in which Belgium defended her neu- tral rights. These things done, Germany would have very good claim to the res- toration of her lost colonies, and a peace to be lasting should provide for fair treatment of Germany's commercial and colonial interests. However exaggerated such generosity may seem to the allies. it is poor peace which neither crushes an enemy nor mends a grievance; there will have to be give and take on both sides if peace is to have serious consideration at this stage. Germany has little of her own to give, but an unhesitating surrender of occupied foreign lands would be strong fiSoi oi tiidt lcitiloiidi uSuitcTtslcuiicsS which her spokesmen have claimed, and would go long way toward relieving ap- prehension in Europe
 No less efficacious would 1t be for Gers many after this great demonstration of valor and efficiency, to take the lead in proposing progressive disarmament of which in the past she has been the strongest opponent. Nothing has more menaced the peoce of Europe than the
 famous swiftness in mobilization which Germany developed, and which has not only made nelghbors fearful of a sudden
 blow, but has kept Germany on the hair trigger for fear this traditional advantage
 in striking the first blow might be lost.
 It Is hard to see how at this stage Ger many can convince Europe of her peace
 ful intentions unless she boldly goes over to the peace programme. Merely to call for revision of sea law which would strengthen Germany in its next war with
 England would not help matters; to offer at the present moment peace programme
 which would interest Europe it will be necessary to propose conditions which will
 show Germany to be sincerely bent on peaceful relations with all her neighbors.
 If they could be made to believe that.
 there is no telling what handsome terms might be made

Shortage of Cayalrymen

Tn the event it becomes necessary for this country to invade Mexico, the war department will find itself as unprepa red so far as the cavalry branch of the serv- ice Is concerned as England the great war broke out" said local off, ficer of the Ala abama National Guard.
 Tt is we'll known that vast territory in Mexico is of mountainous nature and to successfully cope with the situation much cavalry will have to be employed in conjunction with light artillery. The reg ulary cavalry of the United States is among the finest in the world, but of such small numbers that they would not be able to be used successfully. But few of the cavalry of the National Guard of the several states own their own horses and even if they did the number would
 still be small. But the worst reature Is that if new cavalry regiments were raised
 the war department at this time would be unable to provide them with horses, for, as is well known, thousands of the best
 horses in the country have been bought by the allied nations and are still being bought It is a situation that is more serious than might at first appear and | in the opinion of many military men one well worth looking into.'
