DOORS

BY Samuel Minturn Peck.
Viewless, ever on the wing.
Voiceless in their wandering,
Never weary as they wend,
Straying-who knows to what end?
Gifted with strange witeheries
How winsome are earth's fragrances!
Some are of the flowers born
Others of autumn leaves forlorn;
One floats from a shattered rose,
Another-whence? All, no one knows!
One is fresh MS dawn-lit dew,
One quantity cid as that is new
Creeping from dim house nook
Tinct of tapestry or book,
Yields a grace, .how like rhyme
Wreathng legends of old time!
Waftures through woodland sigh
Onward Turing, wild and shy
Like a nymphy yelled to the eye,
Whose half-glimpsed beauty fair and
fleet
Sets the startled heart abeat
BY entertainments strange and dumb
Spelling mid the wild bees hum;
And one is rranced until is heard
The lifting of a forest bird.
Perfumes most with sadness fraught
Are the scents at twilight caught;
Gently stealing, how they haunt
And stir a long and nameless want
We have felt for years and years.
Then come memories blent with tears
Straight we are IN some far place
Gazing on vanished face
That smiled it's love on us OF yore-
And we shall meet on earth no more.

Always Ike. Tom Johnson

The class in which I graduated at
Georgetown university in 1876 had
some distinguished men," said Colum-
bus Peacher. but believe the bright
est and most versatile of them all was
the late Tom L. Johnson. who while
not hard student was a man of bril-
liant parts even at college, being then
looked upon as a great manipulation
of men. He just naturally loved men
and knew how to get their love and.
better still. how to hold it. He was
a big-hearted, lovable boy at school
and merely took into his business and
political life the traits he had devel-
oped while growing up into manhood.
We looked upon him as an unusually
smart fellow, but none of us foresaw
his great career

A NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY FOR
NEEDED lNTROSPECTION

NEEDED AUTHORIZATION
From the Birmingham News
Yesterday was tie twentieth anniver-
sary of the conduct of our distinguished
morning contemporary under its present
most distinguished management All
anniversaries are proper occasions for
retrospection, and maybe for introspec-
ton. Ned Brace" consumed a large
part of The Age-Heraids editorial page
in modestly recounting how he had pur-
chased "a corpse of a newspaper. res
directed it and with the assistance of a
number OF brainy men had transformed
it. so that sit occupies the same place
among southern newspapers as does Bir-
mingham among southern cities" that is
to say, the first place.
In all this display of modesty, it could
not avoid some exhibition of pride, and
here it is:
1.-THE Age Herald is proud of the part
1T has played during those 20 years in
ing the gospei of upbuilding, applauding
every worthy enterprise leading in con-
structive work and presenting to the
world the news Of Birmingham's activ-
tiles and to the people of Birmingham
the news of world events.
Now, one would have thought that on
such day of happiness and joy and
boasting. The Age-Herald would have
been consistent, that 1t would have
played out the part of real greatness
Why could it not have played king for
day and been SO big as to have really
applauded every worthy community en-
terprise. so content with its own marve-
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1917-07-31

ton and many farmers. Furthermore,
it would make inevitable the opening up
to cultivation of millions of acres of land
not yet approached by the farmers.
Some of it is to be made ready for cult
walton by irrigation All of it will ulti-
mately be developed. This is one of the
resources of the future upon which the
genera tions that are to come will reason
ably rely for means wherewith to pay
part of the interest and all the principal
upon which the debt incurred by the war
expenses of the United States.
At one time there was apprehension
lest as a producer of gold the United
States had already reached its highest
possible peak but recent experience in
California and highly perfected scien-
tific methods of mining and extracting
the ore in other parts of the United
States, as we'll as the certainty of in
crease by and by in the early produc-
ton of gold in Alaska, have caused
change of opinion so that it is now be-
lieved that the years are many before
gold production in the United States will
fall each year below s1Oo,00o,Oo0 Recently
the United States gained pre-eminence
as a silver producer and that pre-emi-
nence is sure to be maintained for a long
time The copper men are not only
bringing from the bowels of the earth,
in some cases from great depths, many
million pounds of copper, but they are
confident that the years are not distant
when Alaska's resources in copper will
contribute greatly to the United States
supply. Furthermore, American capital
is already invested in large amounts in
copper production in South America and
there is to be increased investment of
American capital in South American cop
per properties. In fact, wonderful as has
been the recent development of American
mineral properties, the presumption is
be developed and to add many millions
to our yearly increase in wealth.
Those who read the statement that it
will cost $1,000, 100000 to carry on our
war in the first II months did not
realize, as leading financiers did that
some of these billions are to be returned
to us when the allies pay their loans.
Furthermore some of these loans, and
particularly the recent acceptance by pri-
vate bankers of the Canadian loans of
$10o, 100000, are really no more than lend
ing our own money to other nations so
that they can have the funds with which
to pay for purchases made in the United
States.

lous prosperity as not to have shown
any jealousy of a colleague, a competi-
tor?
Twenty years of experience in making
a newspaper should be enough to broaden
and mellow any man. and 20 years of
conducting a newspaper in this latter Pc
Rod of southern journalism should be
sufficient to convince anyone that jeal-
ousy and Misrepresentation are poor
levers for progression forward No
newspaper in these day can elevate itself
by pushing down another. In no part of
the south has this been better demon
strated than in Birmingham.
The public, therefore. must have been
surprised and shocked at the inconsis-
tency of The Age-Herald in displaying
yesterday it's gnawing jealousy of the
precious first page to an attack upon
the News. Because this paper had an
nounced that it had taken over the daily
leased wire service of the International
News in addition to the full leased wire
report of the Associated Press already
appearing daily in the Birmingham
News" our contemporary proceeds to
arraign this paper for deception. 1t de-
clares that this was evidently an effort
on the part of that paper to msead the
reading public and that, in addition,
it is also committing the grievous sin of
printing specials from the New York
Tribune, IAN ultra-republican paper.
This course prociaims loudly the fact
that The Age-Herald realizes it is not
even the leading newspaper in Birming-
ham, much less of the south, in circula-
ton, in volume of business, in leadership
or influence. and that it is willing to mis-
lead the public in a perversion of the
News announcement in the hope of help
ing itself Every man in the daily news
vertising man, knows the meaning of the
word daily" 1t is always used in con-
tradistinction to Sunday" Rarely is
the more exact term, Weekday" used.
However, the News in its original an
nouncement of the new service, took the
pains to use the term Weekday"
1t is the general thing to see a paper
spoken of as daily and Sunday" in rec
ognition of that distinction Rarely iD
a seven-day paper spoken of as week
day and Sunday" The Age-Herald never
SO speaks of itself-always daily and
Sunday Doubtless it's own advertising
contracts are SO written.
1t is not conceivable that the wonder
full brain which resurrected The Age
Herald and transformed it could have
been so ignorant Of newspaper terminol-
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1917-07-31

ogy as to have misunderstood the News
announcement The News had no
though of deceiving the public, and it
is confident that the public was too
well Informed to be misled. This paper
has never claimed to have the Saturday
night report of the Associated Press, but
it has always manage to make a far
better Sunday newspaper than The Age
