THE BANK "RUN"

From the Youngstown Telegram.
 One of the most troublesome, and also useless happenings of every day life is a bank run It has it's inception in a rumor that apparently comes from mo- where A chance remark, trivial mis- understanding, deliberate and vicious thrust from a vengeful person-any one of these agencies is sufficient to start horde of depositors feverishly to the rescue of their savings. The hopeless ness of their mission is what makes it most regrettable. In the majority of in stances the rumor of insolvency has no foundation and the frightened depositors who draw out their funds merely lose the interest they would have earned and often lose the principal to thieves. When bank is actually in distress its doors are closed before the depositors have warning so that run is senseless un- der any conditions.
 Youngstown has half dozen such scares in it's history and yet it has never had an insolvent bank The trouble maker who preys upon the fears of the simple minded has been responsible in each instance Unfortunately the trou- blemaker Is most elusive person. It Is difficult to run him down and send him to jail where he belongs.

Compulsory Tick Eradication Law

Mississippi has a new law, step in advance of other states, which requires each county in the state still infested with cattle ticks to begin within the next year systematic eradication york; says J. s. Hays, a cattleman of that state. Hitherto tick eradication has been a matter of county option. This will mean the early freeing of Mississippi from cat tie tick and a great advance in the state of the live stock industry. Already many counties are tick free and in these coun- ties there has been a great improvement in the quality of cattle through the in- troduction of pure breds In eastern Mis- sissppi, in counties along the Mobile and Ohio railroad, most of which are already tick free, the live stock industry in all it's branches has been growing very rapidly and that section is becoming known as one of the best in all the United States for the raising of horses, mules, cattle sheep and hogs and for the dairy industry"

C1On ana the cOnSCruCClVe leglSldClOn written in the statutes by the Sixty third and Sixty-Fourth Congresses have completely confounded the calcu- lations of those who were expecting to spring the dinner pail appeal again. Democratic achievement since 1913 has been epochal. The principal acts of Congress have merited the enthu- siastic approval of the American peo- pie, and the republicans would not dare repeal these laws if they were in power
 The prosperity which prevails throughout the greater part of the country has exploded forever the old notion held by many people that only the republican party and flush times marched arm-in-arm.
 Never were the prospects of demo- cratic victory brighter than they are now.
 TT AVING been unable to settle l. l their differences with the rail- roads, the train service brotherhoods are balloting on the question of de- claring a strike. A general tie-up of the freight and passenger traffic of
 the entire coun- Big Railroad Strike try would re- Would Be Calamity suit, if these
 men adopt ex- treme measures. Such contingency would be an unthinkable disaster perhaps more far-reaching in it's eco- homie phases than any other calamity that could befall the country at this time.
 The demands of the conductors, en- gineers, firemen and brakemen, if granted, would impose on the railroad companies an annual increase of $100,- 100000 in cost of operation. They con- sider this burdensome and unfair, and though they refused to grant the de- mands of their employees, they have expressed a willingness to arbitrate the matter and abide by the decision of federal tribunal. The trainmen are unwilling to accept this proposal.
 The trainmen assert that all they want is to limit their hours of work to eight hours a day, that they don't want to work overtime, even for in- creased pay, and the only way they can hope to expedite the movement of trains and shorten their long hours is by "penalizing" the railroad com- panies by a wage increase.
 Regardless of the merits of the con- tention on either side, a nationwide strike would paralyze industry and af- feet millions of people who are not directly interestered in the operation of railroads, either as employers or as employees. This is the glaring defe:t of practically all strikes, many being made to suffer that few may i'm prove their condition.
 Arbitration is sane and sensible. It is supported by public sentiment and is fair for both sides. A federal tri- bunal would give the trainmen a Square deal" and would save the country from economic disaster.

Conditions in Southern Cities

 'There is no reason why a person should not be satisfied in Birmingham" said Garnett Brooks, who returned this week from an extended trip through several southern states Prom observation, Bir- mingham is the livest town I have been in since leaving here some two weeks ago. Our industries are all running full time and business among the business men seems to be good, where everything in many other towns the size of Bir- mingham is dull.
 q spent several days in New Orleans, and did not see the signs of prosperity there that I see here In Dallas Tex, business is reported as being very dull, while Fort Worth is as much on the drag as Dallas. About the livest day have seen in a long time passed while I was in Fort Worth, however. A Mex ican went crazy on the streets and, draw ing a long knife, went on the warpath against the 'gringos.' He backed into a corner and defied all 'gringoes' to ap- proach him, but his courage left him when a burly cop pushed his way through the crowd and up to the side of the 'greaser' He presented him with one of the longest guns I ever saw and ordered antly let the knife drop and was car ried to jail In addition to that 15-year- old girl shot a man on the streets and there were two other shooting scrapes. I left town soon.'

Too Many Criminal Assault.

From numerous expressions ] have heard lately, we are going to have trouble In Birmingham unless something is done to stop these criminal assaults committed by negroes said Capt. J. D. Carlisle.
 T have not kept up with the figures, but 1 have been told today there have been eight criminal assaults committed within the past few months, all of which were virtually within the city limits of Birmingham. Furthermore, I am told that of the eight not single offender has been punished-in fact. in few cases have the suspects even been arrested.
 This is one of the things we have to watch out for Every law abiding citi- zen wants to see the law take it's course in such matters and the sureness of punishment of the offenders has done more than anything else in the past to deter violence. I don't know who is to blame for the fact that none of these re- cent offenders has been punished but if the proper officers do not bestir them- selves I am afraid that some morning we will wake up and find we have had an- other disgraceful affair in our midst.'

Convention Was Quiet

There was very little excitement at the democratic national convention at St. Louis,' said J. Kelly Dixon of Talladega, delegate from the Fourth district, who was at the Tutwiler yesterday. "The meeting of the democrats was in the na- ture of love feast and everything was cut and dried. The wishes of President Wilson were supreme at the convention and the majority of the delegates were governed largely by what he wanted. A number of us voted for the woman suf- frage plank merely because the Presi- dent desired it.''
 MT. Dixon, who is a member of the board of trustees of the University of Alabama, declined to make any predic- ton as to who would be chosen as trustee from the Tenth district, but he stated that he would not be surprised if John H. 3ankhead, Jr., should be elect ed. The name of MT. Bankhead has been frequently mentioned for the vacancy.
 MT. Dixon was in Birmingham last night with his son, Brewer Dixon, who is en route to Plattsburg, N. Y, to en- ter the military training camp. It had been his purpose to go to Chickamauga, but since that camp has been closed. young Dixon decided to go to the New York camp.

MILK OISPLACES BEER

Writing to the Scientific Temper
Snce Journal, Mr.. Burt Hall, welfare
secretary of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light company, tells how
milk is now being used by the CON-
pany's employees in place of beer. It
was the habit Of number of the men
to drink beer as beverage with their
MONDAY meal. The company invited
a milk man to negotiate with the men
and to supply them with milk. He
made proposition that if the men
would increase the number of pints Of
milk used per day to 100 pints or over,
he would reduce the price from 8
cents to 2l5 cents per pint.
1t was not long until between 300
and 400 pint bottles Of milk had taken
the place Cf an equal number OF bot
ties of beer. The employees worked
out the problem satisfactorily to Them
selves and all agreed that a milk diet
is far superior to a beer diet

no one knows. If this report
