Honest men and true there are who
still believe that there must be a cer-
tain number of unedueated and untrain-
ed men and women to perform the
drudgeries Of life They believe that many
a good pillow hand or coal digger has
been spoiled by education. Happily for
Alabama, the apostles of this theory are
to be found in the rapidly diminishing
minority. over against this vanishing
minority is the progressive and swelling
majority which believes that there is not
a job on earth that cannot be better and
more quickly and more cheaply done by
trained and educated manor woman
than by one unframed and uneducated
There was a time when it was thought
that the world could not get along with
out vast throng of ignorant people to
pull the cotton lint from the seed, card
it into bats by hand, twist it into yarn
with the old spinning wheel, like Iris
ella, and weave it into cloth upon che
old wooden hand loom; to sit on the cob
blers bench and make shoes by hand;
to hew logs into lumber with an adj and
an ak; to harvest hay and grain with a
sickle. Education has invented processes
by which all these things are done to-
day ten times better, a hundred times
more cheaply and thousand times more
quickly.
Within the memory OF men now living
Uncle Sans soldiers. when formerly
settling squatter and Indian troubles
in Kansas and Norman troubles in Utah,
had to be supplied by wagon trains
drawn by oxen 1000 miles. President
Harrison's message was carried 5000
miles by the celebrated pony express,
when young w. F. Cody Buffalo Biz
was an expressman, and the surest
shot on the frontier. But education has
girdled the globe with steel, over which
giant locomotives fly back and forth, per-
forming the work of 10000 OK wagon
drivers.
Education has stretched a network OF
telegraph wires over the earth, which
perform the messenger service of more
than 1901 600 pony expressmen.'

"WHO COMESTHERE?"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The press on Friday carried the an
nouncement of the Hon. Thomas NJ.
Kilby, the present acknowledgements.
as candidate for governor of Alabama
In this formal announcement, he places
at the very forefront the subject of pro-
hibition. He did not have to do that.
He sat in the Alabama senate for the
past eight years, and his vote has been
consistently for dry state. What l OBJ
ject to- is making prohibition and liquor
the everlasting footballs of Alabama poll
tics This old state is sick and has suf-
fered untold injury by the everlasting
agitation of these subjects for the past
10 years.
While the writer did not approve the
method of driving the present dry law
through the last legislature, because
he thought either the counties, or the
state should vote on the question, yet the
law is now the supreme law of the state.
and to keep down agitation ana for
the sake of peace he would seriously
object to any attempt to pass any liquor
laws by the next legislature. l sincerely
hope that no patriotic Albanian who
aspires to be governor in the coming
election will mention the question of
local option. Let us have peace. We are
suffering from plethora or small men
mounting these hobby horses for the
purpose of riding into public office. Let
big men come to the front who love the
state; who will discuss economics, who
will stand for progressive legislation, and
state definitely what they stand for
The statement of Lieutenant-Governor
Kilby that he Is banker and a manu-
facturer, may or may not be agalnst
him. This might be a signal that ne
stands for big business. There are, many
questions I would want our lieutenant
governor to answer before 1 would agree
to vote for him. I would want to know
how he stands on workmens compen-
sation act; whether or not he would want
an act drawn at the hands OF a COM
mittee of corporation lawyers, or by an
impartial tribunal whether or not ne
stands for taking the state convlcts Out
Of the mines; whether or not he STANDS
for a change in the administration OF
Justice in the manner of drawing juries
in this state; whether by officials elected
by the people, or by appointees selected
by the governor; whether or not ne
stands for exempting cotton mills and
power companies with their millions Oh
investments. In other words what is
his mental attitude when the siren voice
OF big business speaks. Will big business
have a friend at court, or will they have
to win their controversy by having JUS
tice on their side. Eight years ago the
railroads and liquor voted together two
years ago the Alabama power company
and prohibition voted together. Some
body hereafter will have to stand the
acid test before they get to Montgom-
cry
The sentry in the watch tower, who
has the best interest of the state at
heart, will ask, who comes there?'

THE MAN WHO LABORS
AND THE AMENDMENT
BY G. LEWIS BALES

others began their careers in journalism
the printers and printers devils in tho
composing room were setting type W
hand. But education has made and in
stalled the linotype machine, which, as
us name suggests, sets a line OF type at
the time, with ten times the speed and
a thousand times more satisfactorily.
Then uneducated hand pressmen print
ed few hundred copies in a day; now
The Age-Heralds sextuple cylinder
presses, run by electricity, print 1000
copies per hour.
Thirty years ago our fathers planted
corn by dropping two in hiIr by hand;
today education has developed machine
ry with which 1t no wtakes only Al min
utes of human labor to NAVE bushel
of corn where it took four hours before.
Ignorant labor never was needed; it al
ways was the most expensive and the
least profitable. Clarence Poe says the
farmers of Alabama have grown poor
paying ignorant negroes so or 70 cents TO
take one mule and pillow one acre of land
a day. three or four inches deep, while
the farmers of Wisconsin, Illinois and
Iowa have grown rich paying several
times as much to an educated white
man, to take three horses and plow four
acres a day, six and eight inches deep.
Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa spend an
average of SIS per school for each child
of school age; Alabama spends 81.
When the Russell Sage Foundation
makes its report on the comparative cd
ucational conditions for the 4s states Of
the union in 1920 this discrepancy be-
tween the average state and Olabama
of nearly 300 per cent will be materially
diminished. The shrinking of this differ
ence and the expanding Of Alabama's
educational facilities will begin from Mo-
vember, when her people will write in
the state constitution and amendment
making 1t possible for any county in the
state, or any school district of any
county, when its citizens may deem it
wise and proper, to levy and collect a
special county or district tax, not ex-
ceeding 30 cents on each s160 worth OF
taxable property in such county or dis
trict.
Mr.. Poe uttered the voice Of the people
of Alabama when he said, a few days
ago: "In the whole south today I know
of no other piece of craftsmanship now
before the people of such large promise
as the constitutional amendment to be
voted on here on the 18th day of the COM
ing November"

It must be remembered that Mexico
has had almost uninterrupted war of
one kind or another for period long

While conscientious American army
officers have been puzzling over maps
and working out problems in military
strategy and tactics. the Mexican gen.

forces in the field and giving and re-
ceiving blows In the same territory
where they now clash with Uncle
Sam's Napoleons. This is an enor-

In addition, the Mexican military
academy at Chapultepec. near Mexico
City, which is similar to our West
Point, has high rating among insti-
tutions of this character. In the Mexi-
