cordng to the news dispatches, got a
shock of surprise when he learned that
armed Mexican forces had actually done
something toward cooperating with the
American punitive expedition in it's eff
forts to break up the bandit gangs in
northern Mexico. 1t is stated, however,
that the cooperation was given ''unwit-
tingly." If it had been knowingly given,
then General Pershing might have had
something to be surprised over.
The Villa chasers have been in the land

Four Year Term For
President Too Short

00NE of the questions that caused
W much debate in the constitu-
tional convention Of the republic was
that pertaining to the term of the
President. Various periods were pro-
posed. Some of the members of the
convention favored a life tenufe, some
q twenty-year term, some seven
year term without eligibility for re-
election. Mr.. jefferson insisted on
seven years, but he was willing that
it should be eight years with an in
eligibility provision rather than four
years without an inhibition on second
termism. The limit of four years was
finally adopted in grand committee
and ratified by the convention.
With every exciting presidential
canvass a sentiment in favor of
amending the constitution SO as to ex-
tend the term to six or seven years
is more or less pronounced. Henry ID.
Clayton's bill to amend the constitu-
ton proposed six years. 1t was pop
ular measure and had it been adopted
by Congress it's submission to the
states would no doubt have received
the votes of three-fourths of the legis-
latures necessary for ratification.
All presidential campaign are more
or less disquieting to the business
world. The present campaign is an
exception to the rule. Prosperity had
rot such swing before the quad
rennial contest began that politics
could not halt the onward march of
good times. But the nervous strain
on the opposing parties is acutely
felt and people grow tired of the ex-
element before the time for balloting
approaches.

Roll Up Big Vote
For Amendments

| n S one of the prominent educators
NN of Birmingham suggested a
few days ago in the course of an adj
dress on the school tax amendment,
Jefferson county should poll a solid
vote for this important measure in
order to offset the small vote that
might be expected in few counties
which did not need additional school
revenue.
| No campaign ever conducted in Ala
bama has been quite so thoroughly or
ganized as this in favor of the school
amendment, and one has been more
vigorously pushed. And yet in spite
Of all the telling appeals made to
the electorate there is still some
apathy, if not outspoken opposition,
to the amendment.
| Within the next two weeks large
part of this opposition will disappear.
The men and women enlisted in the
campaign are earnest and their argu-
ments are effective. But it behooves
every citizen who appreciates the i'm
portance of wiping out illiteracy in
this state to work for the adoption
of the educational amendment.
And among the other amendments,
let no one overlook that which pro-
tects the savings depositors in the
state banks. AS it is now the check
ing accounts are preferred. The
amendment seeks to place savings and
checking depositors on the same foot
ing Let's roll up big majorities for
the amendments.

Detroit Booming

THE problem of getting enough men
for the work now going on in Detroit
is a serious one said Charley Cooper
formerly of Birmingham, who has been
in Detroit for the past year. Mr.. Cooper
is in Birmingham for a few days. "La-
Dor of all kinds, skilled and unskilled, is
in demand in Detroit. There Is no city
in the world today that has more build
ing activity going on. Every factory, mill
and industry in addition to the buildings
now being rushed to completion is cry
ing for men.
THE only difficulty with Detroit a,
present is that it is almost impossible 70
find a place to live. Houses are being
built as fast as possible for those who
are pouring into the city every minute to
obtain work. Cleveland is in the Same
fix. In Toledo many of the men have
gone to Detroit for work. There is nc
exaggerating the conditions in Detroit
at this time 1t was a revelation to me-
The whole middle west seems to be TEEN
ing with prosperity. The numerous places
where the people can enjoy themselves
and the broad policy of the city have
made Detroit the ideal city In the United
States in which to live and make
money"

Center FIELDER Billy Sunday

THE announcement that evangelist
Billy Sunday is coming to Birmingham
recalls to my mind the early days of
baseball in this city," said P. H. Lime
han, the well known jeweler. Back yon-
der in 1892 the now renowned Billy was
a member of the Birmingham team and
held down the centre garden at the old
Lakeview ball park. At that time the
present Southern league had not been
formed, but our early team was its
neuclus. The old-time fans will remem
Der that under the management OF
Jimmy Manning Birmingham won tha
pennant and Billy Sunday was on the
team. l have never seen Billy in action
at revival meeting, but have seen him
on the ball field, and if he puts the same
pep in his sermons as he did on the
diamond l am not surprised at his won
derful success"

city ticket offices of the big cities. Dur

various cities in the south. that they may

gain in this way, the clerks are in po-
