South Should Lead I'm

/ told the Alabama Federation of
Women's Clubs yesterday afternoon
that the Anglo-Saxon south should
lead the way in speech improvement
in the nation.
Mr.. Clapp was here as the repre-
sentative of the National Speech I'm
provement league and he believes the
south in better position to lead the
way than any other section because
| it has less of the, alien tongues to
contend with.
1t is worthy of note that Alabama
stands third in the progress so far
made in the work of the Speech I'M
provement league. Only New York
and California are ahead of her. Much
of the credit for what has already
been done in Alabama is due to the
efforts of Miss Claudia Crumpton of
Montevallo.
A certain gentleman who resigned q
good Job on the supreme court bench to
become 100 per cent candidate for the
presidency, is probably wishing now that
he had consulted reliable fortune teller
before doing so.
Southern negroes transported to north
ern states to vote, and now shivering in
Icy blasts with not much to eat are prob
ably wishing they had stayed out of pol
tiles
If the colonel can stage hunt for big
game and maybe go on another explora-
ton trip, he will be in fine fettle for the
republican nomination in 1920.

Although some Of the republican news
papers profess to pity the south for re-
naming solid" they also betray a slight
irritation.
Commissioner Truss and Commissioner
Barber may yet have to put on gloves
and settle their differences in 1o-round
bout.
Although it's winter now, numbers OF
young women in diaphanous garments
are still portraying spring on the stage.

With the mercury q degrees below zero

At any rate, whatever President Wilson
does now, he can hardly be accused OF
playing politics.
There are few politicians who avoid
publicity but they are the fellows who
pull the wires.
Still, the Kaiser probably doesn't look

School Campaign
I'm Jefferson
| A jefferson polled the largest ma
~ jority for the educational
amendment in the recent election it
will be fitting for this county to take
the lead in voting 3-mill tax levy,
which the new measure authorizes.
j. r. Hornady, Birmingham's commits
sioner of education, who had charge
of the amendment campaign in the
county, is ready now to proceed with
the initiative for calling a tax cleo
ton.
While vote for the change in the
organic law did not commit the per-
son so voting to cast ballot for a
special school tax, it is reasonable to
assume that in counties where addi-
tional revenues are badly needed there
will be little hesitancy in voting af
firmatively when the levy proposition
is submitted.
AS the amendment was not compul-
sorry, but only permissive, those who
opposed it had no valid excuse for
doing so. One reason given was that
if counties were allowed to levy the
school tax large part of the money
thus raised would go to increasing the
salaries of the teachers. That was
an unfair inference. The men and
women employed as instructors in the
public schools are underpaid, but the
members of no profession are more
devoted to their work or labor with
greater zeal than principals and
teachers. If their pay were doubled
they could not do more for the cause
in which they are enlisted than they
have been doing.
Teachers have to spend money in
lequipping themselves and they should
be remunerated accordingly, but not
until conditions are brought up to a
high standard in the rural districts
will there be thought of increasing the
pay.
Jefferson county needs more
schools, more teachers, longer terms
and better school buildings. A few
years hence, when the situation be-
comes ideal, will be time enough for
considering increase in salaries.
The Birmingham district has great
industrial opportunity. The outlook
for vast material development is par
ticularly bright today. But Jefferson
county will be seriously handicapped
unless it's school conditions are as good
as those in other industrial sections
of the country. And there is no rea-
son why they should not be-
Let every one of the 1851 voters
who cast his ballot for the amend
ment be prepared to vote Eyes" on the
tax levy.

to four feet deep, and about a mile
long, a short distance north of Col

both engines pulling the train went
dead. 1t was necessary to send clear
to Sioux City for a locomotive before
the train could proceed. The train
going south Saturday forenoon,
which was the first to go W. the
cutoff since last Tuesday, became
stalled in the same drift.
Both this mornings train from the
west and the north arrived about IN
time. Freight train service was re-
sumed today. This forenoon the first
way freight train to leave here for
the west since last Tuesday was run.
Last night the wind changed from
the northwest to the southwest, caus-
ing a rise in temperature before
morning of 8 degrees. At Z o'clock
this morning it was 2 degrees below
zero.
The predictions for tonight and
Tuesday are for unsettled weather
and probably snow. 1t Is thought
that it will be colder in the northern
part of the state.

BAGGAGEMAN ESCAPES
OSWALD FRIEND FALLS FROM
RAPIDLY MOVING TRAIN.
BUT Is UNHURT.

Fate played a unique prank last
Saturday evening with Oswald
Friend, baggage man on the Milwau-

train due to arrive here at 2:15 last
Saturday afternoon, from Sioux City,
was travelling at an approximate rate
OF forty miles an hour, Mr.. Friend
was hurled from the baggage car
door to the ground, and he did not
sustain so much as a moderate
bruise.
The train was several hours late,
and the engineer vas endeavoring TO
make up a part of the lost time. II
was after the train had passed Sara
nae, about twelve miles south Of here,
that Mr.. Friend, while trying to shut
the baggage car door. slipped on the
icy car entrance and fell outside.
That the baggage man had met
with a mishap was not known until
the train arrived here. A search of
his a revealed that he was missing
1t was known that he was in his car
at the last station. An engine was
sem to investigate. Mr.. Friend had
started to walk to the city, and had
covered about a mile OF the distance
when the locomotive met him. His
fall had been broken by a thick layer

PASSENGER TRAIN STALLED IN
DRIFT ARRIVES HERE OVER
TWELVE HOURS LATE.

Provided unlocked for heavy snow
or extreme cold weather does not

service after tonight will be only q
remembrance, in the opinion of local
railway men.
Word received today Is to the eff
feet that the mild, calm atmosphere
of last night and today has been a
much hailed boon to railway lines
throughout the northwest. Especial
ly did the extreme cold and heavy
SHOWS Of the last four days OF last
week play havoc with transconti-
mental lines, 1t Is reported. From
the Mississippi river to the Rocky
mountains passenger trains were de-
layed from an hour or SO to a day.
Owing to difficulty in getting up
steam in engines, lots OF trains left
their starting points late, railway
men point out. Freight service. for
four days, was practically abandoned.
The train from the south. due here
at AIS yesterday afternoon, did not
arrive until 3 o'clock this morning.

HOLD Big INSTITUTE
MOVEMENT UNDER WAY TO
HOLD BIG JOINT TEACH
Frs INSTITUTE.

A movement Is on foot TO hold a
Joint teachers institute, which would
be attended by school instructors in
Lake and several nearby counties, in
Madison this year.
Today was set for the date OF meet
ing to perfect plans for holding the
joint institute. Supt. Dale, of Lin
coin county, arrived today and called
on DR.. j.. w. Heston, at the State
Normal school. DR.. Heston Is n of
the prime movers of the proposal to
hold a joint meeting. 1t had been
expected that Supt. Smalley, from
Sanborn county, would be present.
He sent word that he would be I'M
able to get here today.
The question of holding a meeting
to formally discuss holding a joint
institute will probably be taken up by
the superintendent and professors at
the Normal school, and a date prob
ably will be set for the near future.
