than this, which was prosecuted with vigor and intelligence in the early part of the year. Other activities had good results, but the crowning effort of President Johnson's administration was the membership campaign. This was splendid success. The Chamber of Commerce now has an assured in come of upwards of $30,0O0 a year for three years and this will enable the new president to do things that could not be thought of before.
 MT. Bush and the good roads com mittee will keep right behind the county movement to build a railroad and highway to the Warrior river. No one could realize the importance of this project more than Mr. Bush, and the chamber should not relax it's interest until work on the road is ac- lively begun.
 Next to the pressing demand for the river highway and railroad comes the need for more small industries. Many different commodities are man. ufactured here already, but there is room for a considerable increase.

A Year of Opportunity

Much is expected of Birmingham's reorganized Chamber of Commerce; and with President Morris w. Bush's known business equipment, breadth of view and enthusiasm, together with the fact that general prosperity is we'll in evidence again, there is every reason to look forward to a record of high achievement.
 This will be year of opportunity for Birmingham. It should be a year of upbuilding, and the Chamber of Commerce should have it's share in promoting all measures seeking the city's good.
 Depression prevailed throughout the country last year, and not until within the last half of 1915 was there any improvementO Yet despite unpro- pitious local conditions the Chamber of Commerce, under the presidency of Crawford Johnson, accomplished no little. It was in the chamber that the crop diversification campaign origi- mated, and no movement in recent years hes meant more to Alabama

practical way of protecting the states credit, and that fact of itself should be compelling reason why the amendment should be ratified. As to the possibility or probability of Gov ernor Henderson releasing $1,6OO,- 900 of contingent appropriations, or any portion thereof, after the pro- ceeds of the bonds were available, the governor speaks for himself.
 In a letter to The Age-Herald, which appeared in yesterdays issue, the governor wrote with such charac- teristic directness and sincerity as to warrant reproduction of that com It follows:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In reference to the statement made in a former issue of your paper by
 the Hon. John B. Weakley, relative
 to the issuance of the s1,5O00OO of bonds, in which Mr. Weakley states substantially that there are S1,S00,- COG of contingent appropriations sub-
 ject to be released by the governor, and that if the bonds should be au- thorzed the governor can easily place the state back in the same financial condition as at present by the release of these appropriations.

ACCURACY AND TRUTH

Frank MOTIFS
 Anybody can be accurate-the man with the foot rule is that. Accuracy is the at tainment of small minds the achievement of the commonplace. a mere machine made thing that comes with niggardly re- search and ciphering and mensuration and the multiplication table, good in it's place. so only the place is very small. In fiction it can under certain circumstances be dis pensed with altogether. It is not thing to be strven for. To be true is the all-iinportant business, and, once attain ing that, "all other things shall be added unto you" Paint the horse pea green if it suits your purpose; fill the mouth of Rcbecca with. gasconades and rhodomon- tades interminable; these things do not matter. It is truth that matters, and the point is whether the daubs of pea green will lock like horse flesh and the mouth filling words create the impression of ac- tual battle.

PrOsDerity's March

The reports of increasing prosper ity have been coming from all sec tions of the country for weeks past, and now in the middle of January the indications for continued improvement in business are particularly cheering Bradstreet's sums up the situation concisely thus: Good business, plen- ty of money, high prices, activity in industry, improved collections, in- creased wages, cold weather, anticipa- tions of extraordinary activity the coming spring and scarcity of numer- ous kinds of materials feature the weeks reports"
 One of the best signs of healthy confidence is the heavy sales of dry goods for future delivery-"the heaviest noted at this season for three years back"
 Steel mills have sold their output for six or seven months forward and wages are at "a record point"
 In the midst of the prosperity wave the real estate market in Birming- ham has been halting, but this condi- tion will be followed shortly by old time activity. Unless all barometers go for naught the real estate busi- ness will soon begin to hum.

Japanese Sportsmen

Wrestling and fencing have been national pastimes of Japan since time immemorial. When baseball was ln- troduced into Nippon few years ago it soon became very popular and the Japs are showing a proficiency in the game that inspires the respect ot American 'fans." More lately the Japs have begun to play golf. The sport is gaining followers rapidly, while tennis and motoring are also being taken up with other sports 1m- ported from occidental countries by young Japanese who have been edu- cated in England and the United States. Geographically Japan is well suited to golf, which now enjoys a popularity in the United States sec ond only to baseball.
 Several of the principal cities in Japan have established golf clubs, among them Yokohama and Kobe, and similar organizations are being formed in other parts of the coun- try. At Tokio there is a publication devoted entirely to the game, called "The Bunker"
 The Jap is famous as an athlete, but until comparatively recent times when the land of Nippon began to as- sume western ways, few of the sports < popular in the Occident were fol- lowed there. Tennis being one of the oldest pastimes known, was played in Japan long before the Japs made the acquaintance of baseball, essentially producttof the western world. The popularity of the sport among the Japs can readily be appreciated by any ssdyed- -the-woop enthusiast who has ever hurled invectives at the umpire, although the natural polite ness of the Japanese doubtless makes that officials duties less onerous III the land of Nippon than they are in this country.
 No matter what games are inn ported by other countries, however, the Englishman still clings to cricket as his favorite pastime, although the game has made little or no headway in the United States, where baseball is considered better sport, particular ly from spectators point of view. Nothing else more strikingly illus trates the effect of western civiliza- tion on Japan than the automobile and motorcycle races, golf tourna- ments, horse races and baseball games which are beginning to play such an important part in the national life of the country.

Bond Amendment and the Governor

Bond Amendment and the Governor
 If the people of Alabama will only take business-like view of the bond amendment this measure will carry at Tuesdays election by an over whelming majority.
 Some of the opponents of the amendment, after discussing the states fiscal record and past admin istrative policies, have contended that the state could borrow all the money it needed at a lower interest rate than the bond rate. but not so.
 The amount of the proposed bond issue, with which to pay the larger part of the states floating debt, is $1 100000. These bonds are to bear 5 per cent interest and they would be in quick demand at a premium which would reduce the interest to 41a per cent, maybe IA. The state cannot borrow $1 1,500.000 on it's note, and whatever sum it might borrow would not be at the low rates that some peo- pie have suggested.
 The 1,500,00O bond issue would certainly be the easiest and the most
