Looking For Coal Mine

Chas. Daze, accompanied by Mr..
Greig as a civil engineer, has gone
to the Navajo Indian reservation to
inspect the coal deposits. Mr.. Daze
is thinking of getting a coal mine
of his own and not being bothered
with dealing with others. This coal
vein is located only forty miles north
of town, and it can be teamed into
town about as cheap as the freight
we. now have to pay from Gallup.
Let us hope Mr.. Daze has the cour-
age to tackle the job of opening the

Boost for Auditorium

"I noticed and article in The Age-Her- aid a few days ago quoting a visitor as being in favor of the auditorium said Solon Jacobs. Tt is gratifying to see The Age-Herald and other dailies boost for an auditorium. We undoubtedly need one, and we should get it as soon as possible.
 with a magnificent auditorium, high way to the Warrior river and one of the greatest speedways in the United States, Birmingham will be placed in an enviable position among the cities of the United States. Each of these things is bound to do a great amount of good for this city, and the citizens of Birmingham should get behind the projects and push them over the hill.
 with an auditorium, road to the Warrior and a speedway, we will have something that is bound to draw tourists here from all parts of the world. see where more than SIP, 100000 was spent in Florida during the last winter by tour ists.

Not a few of the recipients were genuinely flattered to receive so impressive word from a man of large affairs like MT. Bird. In only fraction of the cases did 1t oc- casion real embarrassment; the men who were hurried out of church to their homes to read a telegram, doubtless felt some chagrin when they became cognizant of it's nature The ministers in the pulpit whom the overefficient messenger boy went for his receipt, must have thought again, as they regained composure, after the interruption.
 Here is a situation which no romancer utilized and one full of suggestivness. Where would 60,000 telegrams for simul- taneous delivery find their intended re- cpients, and what would be the several and varying states of mind occasioned oy the oncoming of the blue-ooated mes sengers? How many recipients would thinl. of an absent child, or long-ailing relative, or a pending business engage ment?

County Instead of City Libraries

Some of these days we must begin to talk about making the Birmingham Pub lie library county library said Carl Ii. Milan. within the last three months the Milwaukee City library and the Min neapolis Public library have become coun- ty libraries. The public library of Gin cinnati has been a county library for sev- eral years.
 '"The library of Portland, Ore, Is a county library, and so are most of the large city libraries in California. The more I study the situation, the more I realize the importance of public library service, not only to the people who live in citines, but to the people who live in the country and in the small towns.
 "rhe county library system is the one that allows eerybody in tn county to use the library free of charge and that also establishes throughout the country branches and deposit stations, in the inn portant centers, so it is practically as easy for country people to get books as it is for the people who live in the city. Such county service is usually provided under a contract made between the H. brary board and the county board of rev. enue or county commissioners

The Wall Street Barometer

A week ago the New York stock market was stampeded as result ot President Wilson's exhaustive and sharp-toned note to Germany on her submarine warfare.
 Capital is always timid when any serious domestic or international trouble is brewing; especially timld when a war cloud appears in the sky. Wall street saw, or thought it saw, a break between Germany and the United States. And not only so, but it saw war with Mexico just ahead. The United States, with two wars on it's hands, would have it's hands more than full; hence the Wall street scare.
 But the stock market has a way of recovering as suddenly as it slumps. That is because it has keen insight Into all sorts ol cOnulttolS WAHSH might affect the financial district. On the other hand, it quickly dis counts wars and the stock market, when clouds clear away, takes an up- ward bound, provided business con- ditions are sound at bottom, as un- occasionally they are today.
 The Mexican situation no longer portends war and the last crisis over the German situation will soon be passed. At any rate, Wall street feels that way about it, and Wall street does not often miss it.

LORD NoRTHCLIFFE

H. N Brailsford. in the New Republic.
 The qualities which have made Lord Northcliffe the greatest force in our pub lio life are a risky combination of lini- tations with gifts. He understands the average man, because with all his ability he lives so naturally on his level. The great editors of the past were either politicians or literary men. He is neither. He Is the business man who, starting from the successful sale of printed paper. las realized the de'irious pleasure of power which this form of wholesale trade alone can promise. Had the cen sorship allowed him to devote his un- rivalled power of rranag agement to the pro- vision of the best service of war news in Europe, he might have found in that occupation sufficient scope for his tall ents. That avenue was closed, and with the eclipse of Parliament the vacuum called him to lead the country.
 There has been some caprice in his method and at moments his campa igns have seemed to betray only the resent ment of the dictator, successful in much, against the few obstacles which still re- sisted him. Ills biggest service is, to my thinking, precisely that which has brought him most obloquy. He set him. self to combat the mindless optimism in which the country lived during the early months of the war. He could not bring it to Knowledge of the truth without printing admissions with which the enemy has made play. The intention,
 however was certainly patriotic. and only a big and resolnte man could have gone so far without bringing down on himself the machinery of the defense oi the realm act.

A great amount of infor- nation, interesting not only to resi- dents of Alabama, but to people in all parts of the country, has been col lected by competent staff and pre- scented in an attractive form.
 The amount of business carried in- dicates the popularity the Advertiser enjoys among advertisers. This spe- cial edition will have wide circula- tion and will give the state some highly desirable publicity, showing other sections of the country the val uable lessons Alabama has been learn ing during recent years in farming and other industries, as we'll as the splendid progress being made along educational lines.

TOLD OF DUMAS

From the Boston Transcript.
 Alexandre Dumas, in his younger and less prosperous days. was writing Rom an de Feuilleton for French newspaper. He was paid for the story by the line, and to make the pay amount to some thing he wrote like this:
 "Yes!'
 "No!"
 "W hat then?"
 1''You die!''
 "Never!"
 "Traitor''
 ''Villain!'
 As"
 To get out of paying for all that white space, the newspaper changed its sys- tenn, and sent word to Dumas that there after he was to be paid by the letter in stead of by the line. Thereupon he intro duced a very comical stuttering charac- ter into the story, who had the floor most of the time, and who talked like this
 "M- -a- m nl- monsieur, v-v-vOus avez t-t-t-t-t-tort, ct vous etex un l-l-l-l lachen'
 The newspaper was glad to go back to payment by the line, and had no sooner done so than the stutterng gentleman, to the sorrow of the readers, fell Into the Seine one day and perished. because he could not set out the words. "Au se- cours,"

From the Decaturs Daily.
 On another page of todays Daily will be found an article from The Birming- ham Age-Herald, written by Hugh W. Roberts, it's Washington correspondent, in which MT. Roberts calls attention to the abuse of the franking privilege. The ar- ticle especially emphasizes the abuse of this privilege by new members who have failed to impress their constituents back at home with their ability, and who are fearful that they will be asked to step down and out in favor of representatives of greater calibre and more merit.
 The scheme resorted to-that of getting a speech delivered by Speaker Clark, and evidently intended entirely for the con, sumption of new members, into the Con- gressional Record, and thus if food for free circulation under the government franl1-is not altogether new one. It re- quires no special ingenuity. in fact, toI matter into the mails, provided the in- cumbent in Congress sees fit to thus abuse a privilege granted him under the law.
 Very few members of Congress will maintain that it was the primary inten- tion of the law for the national govern ment to defray mailing expenses of mat ter intended solely for eectioneering pur- poses. On the other hand, most new members-and all who are conscientious and fair-must admit that the franking privilege was intended for an entirely different purpose. They will concede that a republican form of government guar antees equal rights and privileges to the ''ins'' and to the "outs." If they are candid, they will acknowledge that every time they use the government frank for the transmission through the mails of aa electioneering document they are rob- bing Uncle Sam of postage stamp, ethi- cally speaking, and are taking an undue advantage of their opponents.
 How many American citizens would be benefited by penny postage? Their name Is legion. Yet the working man, the farmer, the clerk, the widow and the or plan must continue to buy 2-cent stamps so long as members of Congress have no higher regard for their constituents welfare than to burden the mails with free stuff that should be paid for.

A Great Forward Movement

When the people vote for the saooo,oOo school bond issue on the 0'h Inf June Birmingham will have begun new forward movement in educa- tional activities, and it. will be a movement of far-reaching benefit to every civic interest in this district.
 Birmingham has been long noted for the thoroughness of it's pubic school system and for its splendid body of teachers, but while all thls is so, the city's reputation has sui fered on account of the congested con- dition of it's school buildings.
 Many additional buildings were needed a year ago, but no step was taken to supply them, and as blr- mingham grows rapidly the need is all the greater today. Not only IS the housing capacity of the schools wholly inadequate, but several of the old buildings in use are dilapidated and 4nsanitary.
 The voters of Birmingham have al- ways been ready to ratify a bond proposition when the reasons for such action were made clear. And Tn view of present school conditions and the still more pressing needs that will be in evidence in 1917-18, to say nothing of the active canvass being conducted under the auspices of J. R. Hornady, commissioner of health and education, the bond majority at the polls Tn June should be overwhelming. 1t IS believed few votes indeed will be cast in the negative.
 As no time must be lost i'll pro- viding the new buildings and repair ing the old, it would be we'll for the city to get options on sites this far in advance and also see to it that architects be ready to present tenta- tive designs immediately after the bond election.
 The detail of advertising for bids will take a little time, but if impor- tant preliminaries be considered un- officially before hand the city should be able to break ground on two high schools and dozen or more grammar schools early this fall. The compul- sorry education act becomes effective next year, and it will add about 5000 pupils to the school enrolment and it is of the utmost importance that the additional buildings be avilable for use when the 1917 term begins.

AN UNPOPULAR MOHGUE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Within an easy stones throw of the flying buttresses which hold firm the apse of Notre Dame de Paris Is a neat little stone building. All sojourners in "the worlds capital have examined and admired Notre Dame. Very few have even noticed the little stone building which lies in the afternoon shadow of the immense cathedral. It Is the Paris morgue.
 Those who commit suicide in Paris usually jump in the Seine. It is the easiest way. They are raked out, and are laid for a day or two on slabs in the little stone house behind Notre Dame. In olden times the morgue was one of the Paris show places. It always had occupants, and Parisians and tourists alike resorted to it for thrills. But of late years it has been closed to the transient and permanent public. The corpses of the Seine are no longer a free show.
 Two years ago the normal average was about three corpses a day. The morgue was really a busy place. Small wonder the keepers objected to being annoyed by curiosity seekers.
 Now the average crop of the Seine is only about two week. Suicide in Paris has become highly unpopular. The Parsians have other things to do and other things to think about. Perhaps some of the discouraged men are fighting for their country at Verdun. Perhaps some of the discouraged women are serving their country in the hospi- tals. Perhaps death has become so com mon that the thought of it is no longer alluring. Possibly the inherent inquisi- tiveness of mankind moves the Parisians to desire to live to see how the war will end.
 Whatever the cause, it is unquestion- ably true that the war has discouraged suicide. It has, in other words, discour- aged Encouragement. Probably the Frenchman who sees his nation bravely facing death and fighting for life is con- vinced of the cowardice of individual self destruction, and desires to live And so the little stone house in the shadow of Notre Dame has fewer and fewer tenants.
