MONEY THROWN AWAY
From the Kansas City Star

From the kansas CITY Stdr
In her account of the National Fedora
ton of Women's clubs, Cora Harris
says: 'At the door of the convention
hall every woman was required to remove
her hat, which was a hardship. When
you consider how much money 10000
women had spent for hats they might
have been permitted to wear them as far
as the seats, which is the usual custom"
Probably fewer than a dozen hats there
were worth less than $40 and many were
worth over $50. Suppose we say they
average S25-half million dollars thrown
away-pouf-just like that! How many
starving Armenians do you suppose could
have been fed for that money? Was ever
more wanton waste heard Of outside q
New York society novel?

CONS ISTENCY

From the New York Globe:
Consistency, thou art a Jewell as
Shakespeare. or Massinger, or Fletcher
remarked. Whoever perpetrated 1t might
have added that as all other jewels, II Is
a Injury few people can afford. We like
to think that we like it. We treat it
pretty much as we do the truth. We ap-
plaud it, sing hymns in praise OF it. crltl-
cize it's absence. But let anybody start
to practice it and we are down on him
like a thousand of brick.
The latest sufferer from this gentle
Chadbandism is the hapless vegetarian
whom Magistrate Patton sentenced to
term in the workhouse. The poor wight
is noting on earth but thoroughly, I'M
peccably, unalterabiy consistent man.
Taught that it is wrong to kill under
any circumstances, he takes the doctrine
seriously. He considers US miserable,
bloodthirsty steak and chicken eaters as
accessories before and after the fact OF
murder. Deplorably endowed with the
courage of his convictions, he has been
trying to force us all to behave. HIS
method was to stand outside butcher
shops and hurl jeremiads at buyers of
lamb chops. He would harangue any
stranger not large enough to resent II
upon the sin of buying shoes made out of
the hides of dead animals
In short, poor Samuel Donniss became
hopeessly uncomfortable person to
have around the town. The magistrate
took the only possible measure in our
defense when he put Samuel away.
We would have to do pretty much the
same thing with any equally consistent
person who took our pretended admira-
ton of the truth seriously. The fact is,
the truth is not commodity sensible
people are in the habit of using reck-
lessly. Georges de Porto-Riche remarks
in one of his plays that truth is re-
volver that no man has the right TO
discharge at casual passers-by."N-A SEN
sational lawsuit is being conducted Just
now by the son of the late John r. Nc
Lean on just such principles. He is suing
| for the possession of his fathers docu-
ments on the ground that their publica-
| ton might reveal truths that would cause
| vast amount of distress. The English
| aw makes no bones about it's attitude to
ward the truth 1.-THE greater the truth
the greater the LIBEL is the one big prin-
ciple that controls the freedom Of the
press in Great Britain.
| Let any man write biography of a
genius in which he reveals the whole
truth about his character and all the
devotees of the genius will annihilate him

Veteran Correspondent Here

Col. w. P. Thompson of Clanton was
in Birmingham yesterday He is a
newspaper correspondent of Alabama
who is doing much to keep his section
of the state on the map so far as pub
licity is concerned. Colonel Thompson
is 70 years old and, although a Confed-
crate veteran, he got his newspaper
training under Horace Greeley on the
New York Tribune and later on the ST.
Louis Republic, his active experience in
newspaper work covering a period of
more than so years.
you may set it down as a fact that
our section was hard hit by the recent
Storm" said Colonel Thompson, but
at that some of the crops of corn which
were thought destroyed are coming
along and a corn field over which
recently rode in a boat now looks fair
ly well and shows signs of surprising
everyone and producing some corn after
all. The boil weevil is going to be felt
seriously.
Our people, however, are in fairly
good shape. There is a good deal of I'M
sold cotton stored around in various
places and whenever the market takes
Ian upward jump you can see few
loads of this cotton turned loose

HOTEL LOBBIES
NIontgomern Satisfied

Montgomery is delighted that the sol
diers are staying so long" said Leslie B.
Fairchild, manager of the Exchange hotel,
who was in Birmingham yesterday at
tending the hotel mems assomiation. THE
men have greatly improved business con-
dltlons in Montgomery and the people of
our city greatly appreciate having them
with us. The camp is splendid one and
the men are well fed and well cared for,
despite the few complaints which have
been heard. The quality of the food is
good and there is plenty for everyone. I
do not see how any man who is a real
soldier could complain at the situation
existing at the camp now. While the
men are anxious to get to the border,
the people of Montgomery are glad to
have them remain"

~TARTLING charges that prohibition
members of Alabama's legislature
~ who passed the prohibition bills
were parties to a conspiracy to make
money out of the law are contained in
an article in the July National Monthly
written by John Barry Selkirk, under
the title, Cheating the State.'
1.-THE fact that Alabama's prohibition
law has been flagrantly violated in rural
communities ever since it became opera
tive two years ago. writes Mr.. Selkirk,
has been generally known; that men in
high official station claiming to be pro-
hibitionists were financially concerned in
this wholesale violation of law has been
suspected; that representatives IN the
legislature who voted for the passage of
the prohibition bills two years ago were
parties to a conspiracy to make money
out of the law has been an open secret
for long time
Futher Mr.. Selkirk says:
There is no longer any doubt as to
the facts. Prohibition members of the
legislature have been caught in a net
spread by the attorney general olAlce'
A fierce arraignment of the so-called
Alabama system is given thus:
This abundance of liquor does not be-
long to licensed dealers in neighboring
states 1t is the property of prohibition
legislators, mayors of towns, sheriffs OF
counties, probate judges, who try small
offenders against the law, those private
citizens who can be induced to invest
their savings in a lawless conspiracy.
Again, the writer says:
Sometime after the legislature had as
sembled however, there sprang up de-
mand for prohibition bill. Nobody
seemed to know from whence 1t came,
but a dozen or more rural legislators
were most insistent for the leglsiation'

1t sounds from all things old,
1t sounds from all things young,
From all that's fair, from all that's 70
Peals out cheerful song.
1t is not only in the rose,
1t is not only in the bird,
Not only where the rainbow CLOVIS.
Nor in the song of woman heard.
But in the darkest, meanest things
There Away, Away something sings.
Tis not in the high stars alone,

Nor in the redbreast SITS mellow tone,
Nor in the bow that smiles in showers
But in the mud and scum of things
There Away, Away something sings.

can Herald advertised American flour

to engender hostile feelings between the
people of the country and those of the
towns and cities, in order to make a
point. Already an effort on the part of
some two or three papers of the state is
being made, to make it appear that if
the school amendment carries, it will

has been added to the force of the Ala

pert. She will work among the girls
clubs of the state to stimulate poultry
culture along modern lines 1t is expected
that one result of her work will be to
afford to the girls another source of rev.
enue, which many of them will doubtless
use, in part, to aid in defraying their
expenses in the schools of the state.
When the girls become thoroughly inter-
ested, the parents will be deeply inter-
ested also, and poultry business will be-
come much greater factor than at pres
ent.

Trying to Wreck Things

City Comptroller Louis Levy is of the
opinion that the continued publication
OF reports that the city street tax is
Illegal is doing much harm and will
render the collections very difficult.
There should be no report pub
lished" said Comptroller Levy. that
would embarrass the city in its at
tempts to collect street taxes in order
that sufficient funds be raised to keep
the functions of government in opera
ton. This is the time for patriotism,
not criticism, and we should look for
ward to construct and not seek to de-
stroy what is left of Birmingham s
financial resources. From the reports
already published regarding the street
tax l anticipate a great deal of diff
ficulty in making collections"
