Birmingham College Alumni Plan Big Development for
 Methodist Institution
NEW SCIENCE HALL
 UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Dr. J. D. Simpson and Thornwell Haynes, President Elect, Make Fine Addresses-Hugh Locke
 Postmaster

Judging from the enthusiasm manifest ed by the Birmingham college alumni, at their annual banquet last night at the Southern club, great things are to come to pass for the Methodist institution within the next year. The alumni have rolled their sleeves up and are preparing to wage a great campaign for the good of their alma mater
 At business session of the associa- ton yesterday afternoon, the former stu dents of the institution, in casting about for ways and means of serving their alma mater decided to concentrate their efforts on some one department. The department of athletics was selected and the alumni are going out after the scalp of their old opponents with more pep" than they have in many years.
 Judge Hugh A. Locke presided as toast master last night and called on R. $. Munger for the first speech MT. Munger, who is president of the board of trustees, was asked to tell the association some thing about the new science hall, now under construction on the college site. This building is the pride of the college, and of the Methodists of the North Alabama conference in general. It will be erected at cost of $35 GOO, and will be a great asset to the institution. MT. Munger made d splendid speech and closed by asking that every one line up behind the new president and pull for more build ingS and greater ''Birmingh gham.'

 The prcg.e ssive leaders are not hiding the fact that they are embarrassed by a lack of control over their delegates and they fear that they cannot delay a nom nation ir their convention until after the republicans have acted. When told of this situation republican managers have bluntly replied that this predica- ment Is the progressives own affair.
 Although the progressive managers have been confounded by their delegates getting out of hand, they have capitalized the situation to the extent of using it as an argument with the republican, mana gers for an early nomination in the Coliseum. They have told the republic ans that they fully realize uncomfortable qualities among the Roosevelt enthusiasts which they fear will result in the quick nomination of the colonel, with the pos sibility of disrupting plans for reunited ,r.rstxr

ed bids for supplies of all kinds from
November 1, the beginning of the new

Mr.. Bryan Delivered the Goods

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan has been
the target for many sneers and denunci-
alton, aver from members Of his own
party during the last year and many Of
us were inclined to think he had "laid
down" in the recent campaign. But he
comes to the front nov, smiling aud good
natured, with Nebraska and pretty near
ly all tile Western States in which he
c%ampaigned in his hand as an offering to
Democracy and progress. We got very
angry with Mr.. Bryan when lie left Mr..
Wilson's Cabinet, but whatever else
may be said OF him, he has borne no
malice, and he did his duty like a man in
the battle just ended. And he did it in
a section where his voice still counts
From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Bryan devoted his speeches during
the campaign to fifteen States in the
West, mostly where women vote and
States that were dry or held elections on
the liquor question. His own State went
dry by $1,000.
In 1912 it was his power OF mind and
voice that made President Wilson's
nomination possible. In 1916 the States
in which he spoke made possible Presi-
dent Wilson's reelection.
Former President Roosevelt also CAM
paigned i'll these same States which were
progressive and where he was popular as
a rancller and rough rider years ago, but
Mr.. Bryan's appeals delivered the votes
which insured President Wilson's Ie.
election.
The two leaders now visible Tor 1920
are Bryan aud Roosevelt Tor the nominal
lions for President.

Twenty-one years ago George Gaventa
was elected Chosen Freebooter for Old
mans Township. Eighteen years ago
William NJ. Burk beat him and was re-
elected five times. Around P%edricktown
the Pedricks hold the balance of politi-
cal power which is their inheritance.
Roger Pedrick bought 1000 acres of John
Fenwick in 1872, the original Quaker
settler in America and owner of Salem
tenth, and WAS the progenitor OF the
Pedrick family. William Nj. Burk's
mother was a Pedrick. hence the political
nexus.
Even the Democrats believed that
George Gaventa deserved a second term

Red Blood

Last Saturday President Wilson said:
"Politics is, after all, a means Of getting
something done, of putting forward ideas.
1t is a fight, but a man who does not love
the fight has no red blood in his VEINS"
Foreigners and many Americans do not
comprehend the ideals Of American poll
tics, but look upon the objects only for
personal honor or gain. The battle OF
ballots is to elect men who purpose OIL
putting some ideas into governmental
action for tie benefit of organized
society. Whether We win or lose it
should be without personal enmity or i'll
will, because the purpose is to perform
some public function for the public good.
The President also said:
''Now that the campaign is over We
must think of only one thing. That is
not of parties but of the interest OF the
great country we all love. Let us forget
all our differences AMI unite for common
service. Only in that way can we work
for the great nation that has given us
liberty and peace"

 LONDON, July 2S.-'I do not de- spair about an eventual solution of the Irish problem in spite of the recent failure to reach an agreement between the nationalists and the unionists," said David Lloyd George today.
 He was replying to a request of the Associated Press for his views on the breakdown of the negotiations for put ting the Irish home rule act into effect immediately.
 We achieved at least one thing that never had hitherto been accomplished" continued the British war secretary. We brought the representatives of the Irish nationalists and the Ulster union ists to the point of shaking hands in stead of shaking fists at each other"
 Mir. Lloyd George, acting as the chosen arbitrator in the century old Irish controversy, has succeeded so far in modifying the opposing factions that he brought them within measurable distance of reaching an agreement. Then MT. Lloyd George said in a tone of regret, today, fate intervened as it had so often done before in Irish af- fairs, and at the last moment a breach occurred
 The secretary for war, however, is still full of optimism regarding the , Irish difficulty. He feels about this | problem as about everything else he i undertakes-tn2t a solution can be i reached; and it is his intention to i strive on until he is successful. In reply to question as to whether | the nationalists were justified in re- fusing the proposed settlement, MT 1 Lloyd George said:
 1 Never has a better offer been made [ by all the British parties together. The i only new stipulation inserted was one concerning the British and not the 1 Irish parliament. The moment the de- mand was put forward by the union l iStS that Ireland should be represented ! at Westminster only in proportion tC | her population, except when the ques- 1 tiOn of the Irish settlement was under | consideration, it had to be conceded Tt is true" AIr Lloyd George con l tinued. that the home rule act is or ! the statute book but only with the 1 pledge that if it becomes operative ar 1 amending bill is to be passed dealing ! with the exclusion of Ulster"
 The secretary said the main princi- pies of the settlement remain, namely the immediate creation of an Irish par i liament, exclusion for the present fol
