\ < Y Ready for 3-Mlill Tax CaEnpaigEa

A S Jefferson county boiled an over GA whelming majority for the edu- rational amendment on the 7th of No yenber, so the people of this county will be expected to avail themselves of the provisions of the measure by voting the 3-mill tax for school pur- noses at an election to be called for February 6. The subcommittee ot the county campaign organization will re- port to the full committee tomorrow recommending such election and It poes without saying that the report will be adopted.
 The better understood this school proposition is the more popular 1t be- comes. The 9561 citizens of the coun- ty who voted for the amendment can be counted upon to vote for the small tax. Not only so, but many of the 261S who voted negatively will, upon mature consideration, join the VT

investment and can pay their stockhold- CTS regular dividends.
 Instead of policy of punishment, the Wilson administration is determined to be a constructive one and to build up this country and all of it's industrial in- terests.
 Speaking of industrial interests, I have noted several comparatively small con- cerns in Birmingham during the past week which are making good and are making money because of practical oper- ation.
 The w. D. Wood Lumber company out on Eighth avenue have "a plant which surprised me in it's systematic arrange ment
 MT. Wood has every piece of lumber and everything that goes into a building from the brick and sand and rough lumber to the cabinet doors and the paints and varnishes so systematically arranged that he can furnish the complete material for massive building and deliver 1t all in one day. If sufficient workmen could be put on it to construct it, the building could be completed in a day. So the boomer here who wants to build a house quickly can do so.
 And another thing I found was a pickle factory out on 26th Street and 27th Ave- nue, North Birmingham, which is mak- ing from Alabama grown products as fine pickle as is produced in the world. I have tasted some of it and know
 MT. w A. Weaver, the president of this Southern Pickle & Vinegar Company, tells me that he was told when he started that the raw material could not be grown in this section.
 Tt was also said that the pig iron in this section would not make good steel" said MT. Weaver, ''but the fal- lacy of the argument about steel was

THE SINGING SEASON.

Oh, the crispness of the mornings,
 And the frost that's in the air. And the fresher breezes blowing
 And the gladness everywhere! When old DiXiee wakes from dreaming Through the sultry summer days And the hills their crests are llttlnS
 From the purple autumn haze; When the hunters horn is ringing
 And the 'possum meets his fate, Later on to be served steaming
 On the colored brothers plate; When the cotton bales are rolling . And the roustabout is gay And all nature joins her children
 In a joyous roundelay, It seems good to be just living
 In this happy southern cline And 1t isn't any wonder
 That a chap drops into rhyme!
 PLENTY OF PRIVACY THEN

Calhoun for School Tax


 citizens of Calhoun county were in the city yesterday to attend the Auburn-Van- derbilt football game at Redwood field, and expressions gathered from them in- dicate that Annistonians and Oxfordites were particularly downcast over the de- feat of the Alabama eleven. as both cities have furnished several stars for the A. P. T. eleven.
 Citizens of Calhoun are very much interested in the campaign about to be launched in this county for the levying of special tax for educational purposes" said J. T. Gardner, "and it is probable that the election will be held in Calhoun in Jefferson county. The Age-Herald it is pointed out, fulfills the mission of a morning paper in Anniston and other Calhoun county towns, and it is believed that Calhoun would reap g. great benefit from the publicity incident to the cam paign in Jefferson.
 Sydney J. Bowie, who will lead the fight for local taxation in Jefferson, was an attorney and later congressman, with residence at Anniston, when Calhoun voted the one-mill tax, and he will likely be invited to speak in that county when the local tax measure is submitted to the voters It is also suggested that Calhoun speakers might be secured to help out in the campaign in Jefferson, as the conditions in Anniston and Br- mingham will be very much the same when the compulsory education law be- comes operative''

A spIendid Triumph

President Wilson achieved a splendid triumph in the election said J. Thomas Heflin, representative from the Fifth Alabama district who was here yester- day to attend the football game. With the tremendous power of Wall street and the monied interests arrayed against him, through the loyal support of the south and the strength of the west he was able to be elected. With all the mighty forces that were lined up against him, 1t cannot be considered other than a victory for him personally and for the principles for which he stood.
 No President has ever done more for the benefit of the people and no execu- tive has ever come nearer to carrying out the policies and the platform upon which he was elected. It would have been a grave national disaster had he been defeated. The result of the race shows that the people of the country are su- preme despite the opposition of the money power and the selfish interests. l look for four years of prosperity with grad ual betterment of conditions throughout the south.''

Nobel Prize Wimmer
 CriGicizes United States

(CN IN ISAol4NOls@AANAI II IAdOIsLI, 0 the eastern savant and poet, who has been delivering a series of lectures in the west, says the United States is land of lodging houses and hurry. "I'm sick of this hurrying," he says. "You do not seem human"
 To an oriental this country no doubt presents striking contrast to the east, which has been dreaming for ages and has not caught the drift of the western world.
 Millions of dollars have been do- mated to the war sufferers of Europe by the people of the United States and they have not yet quit giving. As long as the war continues a stream of gold and supplies will flow to Europe for the alleviation of war vic tins.

Democratic Deficit
 To Be Made Up

|WHIlLE the democratic prssi- WV dential campaign fund was large, as such funds go, it was not ample by over $30O,OO0 to meet legitimate expenses, and the demo- crats have no other kind.
 Had MT. Wilson been defeated, it would have been extremely difficult to raise the amount now needed to settle all campaign obligations. The men who supported the President would have been in bad humor and few of them would have responded when the hat was passed around. But with vic- tory crowning the campaign commit tees efforts the rank and file should gladly contribute in small amounts enough to bring the total up to the required sum.
 It would be ungenerous, indeed, for the millions who desired the re-elec- tion of the President to allow a few men to foot the unpaid bills.

Great Forward Step

"The state of Alabama took a great forward step when the educational amendment was adopted by large ma iority," said w. F. Feagin, state superin- tendent of education, who was here yes terday. Everyone interested in the fu- ture welfare of the state must feel grati- fled at the result. Without this amend ment, further progress along educational lines would have been impossible for a number of years and only then could the desired results have been achieved by the adoption of a similar amendment or through a new constitution.
 It was no easy matter at the begin ming to arouse the interest of the people and impress upon them the importance of the proposition, but through the splen- did assistance of the newspapers of the state and many of the patriotic citizens, the movement soon gained the necessary impetus to be carried to success. One fea- ture of the amendment which appealed to every voter was the fact that there can be no discrimination under it's terms. Every county keeps every dollar it raises under the amendment. The money is not apportioned as is the money collected by the state at the present time, which in many cases seems to be hard on the coun- ties with large white populations"

9 rSruldLIon De- sides, would have had good schools nine months in the year instead of seven but for the handicap in the constitution. Now that the obstacle has been removed there is every req son to believe that Jefferson will re- deem itself. It will certainly have full term sessions.
 The 3-miIl tax will yield enough revenue to give us all the schools needed to accommodate a greatly in- creased enrolment resulting from the compulsory attendance law effective next year.
 Every insanitary building must be replaced by one constructed and fitted up according to modern methods. There must be not only more school houses, but more teachers. In short, the school system of Jefferson county must be brought up to city standard.
 There will be a vigorous campaign for the 3-mill tax. Let all public spirited people be ready to take earn est part in it.

Many Thrills at Game

T nave seen many an exciuilS Sdne in my life," said Kirklan O'Neal, but the game yesterday with Auburn and Vanderbilt was certainly the most excit- ing one on record, as far as l know. At the conclusion of the third quarter, all the odds seemed in favor of Au- burn. Within 30 seconds after the ball put in play everyone saw that Van derbilt had regained her old-time form and was out for blood.
 There is no doubt but that Vanderbilt showed more cleverness and a greater assortment of trick plays after this pe- riod than Auburn and thereby won the game I have never seen such a large crowd at any football game in the south before. Despite the odds that were given in favor of Vanderbilt before the game the crowd of spectators were given thrill after thrill throughout the action of the game
 Interest in Tuberculosis Fight
 sMuch is being done by the Anti-Tu- berculosis league of Alabama to arouse interest in the fight against the ravages of the white plague in this state,' remarked pr. George Eaves.
 This work at the present writing is necessarily largely educational; as peo- pie everywhere must thoroughly realize the dangers that confront them before adequate results can be obtained in the matter of actual money invested in hos pitals and sanatoriums in the rural sec tions of Alabama. In Birmingham, Montgomery. Mobile, Tuscaloosa and several other of the larger centers there are. of course. places equipped especially for the treatment of those suffering with tuberculosis. supported by public sub scription. The Red Cross seal, as is generally known, plays very impor- tant part in the fight against the tu- bercular germ; and sales during the ap- preaching Christmas season will, from present indications. prove record break ing.

The Kaiser and
 His Champagne

0H7AR blunts the finer feeling of
 wv the men directing armies, but if Emperor William has any heart left he will get little cheer from the 36O cases of champagne which his French wine merchant, M. Goulden, shipped him when his majesty comes to con- sider the punishment inflicted by courtmartial upon the enterprising but luckless vender.
 Goulden had been a purveyor to the Kaiser before hostilities began, and he probably reasoned that it would not be very much of crime to slip him . case now and them in order to keep his hand in and hold on to a good customer. The wine dealer, like any other Frenchman, would have drawn | the line at munitions or solid food. Had he shipped such things to the (enemy he would, upon conviction, have been ordered to be shot. As it was M Goulden was severely punished-fined 20, 900 francs, sent to prison for five years and deprived of his civil rights for ten years.
 The Kaiser will doubtless offer to reimburse him in the amount of the fine, after peace is declared, but he can do nothing to tighten the prison sentence. And that may cause such a heartache that the exhilerating bev- craze will be kept out of sight un- corked during the further progress of the war. In other words the Kaiser
