 XAT HETHER of not the National w Guard is ever marched across the Mexican border the mobilization which has been in progress for 10 days will prove of great practical value to the government and of in calculable benefit to officers and men ambitious to acquit themselves in true soldierly fashion.
 Some observers in New York have been disposed to criticize the guard
 for the lack of pre- Experience That paredness. Blu t Will Count such criticism has
 been in most cases unjust. Considering the fact that this was the first call for mobili- zation under the new and exacting military law which makes the Nation al Guard in time of war or threatened war a part of the regular establish ment, the guardsmen have deported themselves with high credit, both in regard to disciplinary requirements and the patriotic spirit which has animated them.
 The war department is now reor- ganizing the regular army, which is to be considerably larger than it was prior to July 1. It will take time to bring it up even to peace basis mini tmum, but when the scheme is worked out to the point of creating reserve corps, it will make formidable fight ing array. And if the National Guard grows in numerical strength, as it's champions in Congress promise it will, the United States will be we'll pro- vided with trained men for the first and second lines of defense.
 In the meantime the country real izes more than ever the necessity of military preparedness. Should we ever have a big war on our hands volun- teers by the hundreds of thousands will be called for, but the public will feel certain sense of security in the knowledge that the regulars and near regulars are equipped and ready for the field. Last weeks experience, at any rate, has been worth a good deal. | Uncle Sam should nave plenty of aero. planes on hand, whether they are needed for service in Mexico or not. We still have the yellow peril to think about

 Piedmont Journal: Who could help but admire the fortitude of the poor fellow who sits unflinchingly and listens to that old story of the wife's for the three hundred and ninty- ninth time about when she went to the seashore, as she tells it to each guest, growing more and more proficient with each telling as to minor details
 Selma Journal: Politicians are contin- ually getting slapped and nobody slaps them probably any oftener than the re- ligious' people. And yet we find some re- markedly nice fellows among the poli- ticians. They are men who trade often among themselves and often to the chagrin of the voters, but that is part of their game.
 The Baptist convention at Pelham Heights has just now handed the poli- ticians another slap. The convention went on record by resolution as being opposed to those all-day meetings which give the ever present politicians such splendid opportunities to meet so many people They also included the horse traders. And yet. on the other hand. the political parson gets his slap soon and late from the politicians. The slapping works both ways, you see.

A CERTAIN SORT OF CITIZEN Behold a type of patriot Who never lets it be forgot He'll battle for his country, right or
 wrong. But when there comes the call to arms, Wars panoply has lost it's charms, His health is far from good, he limps
 along. While others hasten to enlist, He shows himself pessimist And thinks the President is much to

Fair Progressing Nicely

IHo live StOCh SnOW Ol lHo <AidDduiEf State Fair this year will be the largest we ever had declared Sam P. Fowlkes, secretary of the Alabama State Fair association. yesterday. "The reserva- tions for space are coming in rapidly, and we will be forced to greatly in- crease the space at the grounds.
 T believe the fact that practically all Alabama has become aroused to the importance of tick eradication is in fuencing the stock raisers in sending their blooded cattle to Birmingham the coming fall. In former years the own CTS of high bred stock were afraid to let their animals appear at the lair grounds, thinking there was possi- bility of ticks being there. However, with the increasing interest in the tick eradication movement, and the assur- ance that not cattle tick will be able to live at the fairgrounds this year. the outlook Is bright for a great live stock show.
 we also plan to have great auto mobile show in the merchants and manufacturers building, and the out look for the fair generally is excellent"
 Rirmingham the Beautiful
 "When years ago business brought me to Birmingham frequently used to hear it referred to as the Marvel City, very catchy sobriquet, but in looking over the World Almanac for 1916 I came across the term. Blrming- ham, the Beautiful said W. J. Bon ner of Philadelphia
 
 "When it is remembered that this city is less than 50 years old the ad- iective marvel tits the case. but like the rhrsse, Birmingham the Beauti- ful, better This is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States, and among inland cities it is without a rival in landscape effects.
 "In the list of prominent cities with sobriquets which the World Almanac prints I was struck with the number that used the word gate or gateway. Here are some of them: Atlanta, the Gate City of the South; Jacksonville, the Gateway City, Keokuk. the Gate City; Omaha. the Gate City of the West; and Providence the Gateway of Southern New England.
 Washington, D. C., is still styled the City of Magnificent Distances That was the name that Dickens gave it. in ridicule. It should be changed. Wash- ington of Dickens day was unpaved and sparsely built up. It is a most ele- I gant city now. My home town, Phila- 1 delphia, is still the City of Brotherly Love-. or the quaker City'-both ap- propriate."

POLITICS and Business.
'HoT small, of all that human hearts
endure.

How small, Of all that human hearts
endure.
That part which kings or laws can
cause or cure!"
The wise words of Oliver Goldsmith
ought not to be forgotten, particular
ly in America. where a deep-sea ed
impression prevails, and always has
prevailed. that the universe is gov
erned by congress and the state leg.
islatures
There was a time when laws were
very powerful for the veal or woe Of
nations and communities. 1t was
when rulers were absolute. with tie
power Of life and death in their hands.
1t was in early, primitive days, when
all the relations of society were sim
pie and little wealth had been accum-
INFLATED. 1t was before the age of ma
chlnery.
But that is changed now. Industry
creates vast wealth, and commerce
distributes 1t over the worlds, pretty
much regardless of national Sbounda-
ries of laws. Economics has become
a far greater mower than those and the
seasons. with little yielding to poll
cies and parties and rulers and preju-
dices Governing bodies affect it, OF
course, as local conditions of shore
and sea bottoms may vary the time
and volume of the tide little, and
local geography may advance or re-
tard the coming of the seasons for al
few days or weeks. But the part play
ed by politics-by statutes and admin
istrations-is greatly exaggerated.
History ough; to teach, us how r.
tie we can really affect thercurrents Of
industry and trade, how business has
IT. own laws and tends to leap all
artificial barriers; tut still we go On
year after year imagining something,
like old King Canuto, that we can
sweep back the economic tide with the
btonn of Inpislation NNe ran nn1x
build ships to float on the tide, and
put up dykes here and there to keep
it from crowding into forbidden quar-
tiers. The most we can do is
rather trivial. In the modern world
business is the real governing power
and nations and communities and po-
litical parties must in general adapt
themselves to it or be swept out of
existence. II may not be best for the
world but II is the way of the world.
This is by no means an argument
for tolerating the Aliases of business
or for neglecting to do what may be
done for the wise development of nat
ural resources and the fostering OF
manufacture and commerce. 1t is mere
ly reminder that we shouldn't expect
too much from ballots, laws and exec
utiyes, and shouldn't take he extrav-
agant promises of politicians too Sc
r,uusly. Even presidents Ind con
