simply Want Recognition

THE object of the mine workers Of
this district now is to get recognition
for the mine workers union" said
William H Harrison of the general
board of United Mine workers. 1T is
one Of the purposes of the organiza-
ton to avoid trouble and strikes. and
all we want now is recognition of our
just right to organize for mutual pro-
lection"

America Must Be
Supreme i'm the Air

Supreme i'm the Air
7T HE promptness with which the
u o,0O0,0 900 airplane bill was
passed by Congress and made law
by President Wilson's signature has
offset to some extent the unfortunate
shipping muidle and delay in passing
the food bill. For once Congress
showed itself capable of transacting
important business in business-like
way.
1t is now realized that America S
greatest military contribution to the
cause of world liberty will be air
planes, aviators and equipment. AS
the war situation stands today, we can
make our power felt more quickly
and more effectively in the air than
in any other field. Despite the opti-
mism of inventors, the U-boats have
not been eliminated and it is not likely
that they will be at any time soon.
1t will be at least year before the
American army can make any sort
of showing abroad, and its work will
be just started. In 12months we should
be able to have a great flying corps
actively engaged with the enemy and
overwhelming German airmen by
sheer force Of numbers. Once this is
achieved, and it will be achieved rapid
ly, if our plans do not miscarry, the
"eyes" of the German army will be
put out. Artillery is useless without
airplanes to direct the fire.
While s64o,000,000 is large sum
of money, it will be expended not for
airplanes alone. but for equipment

Now 7 lime For
Cutting Weeds

y weeds become rank and give
yards and gardens an untidy appear
ance. Birmingham has a great deal
of the city beautiful about it, but in
order for it to keep up the good rep
utation for clean and we'll conditioned
premises weeds and high grass must
be cut, not only on vacant lots and
in garden plots but on the spaces
along the sidewalks abutting the
premises.
The Birmingham city commission
calls attention to sections of the
code imposing penalties on property
owners or tenants who fail in the
matter of cutting weeds. While oc-
cupants of weedy property have until
August 10 to comply with the law, il
will be better to start now.
1t costs very little to keep prem
ises free from weeds and other forms
of ugliness. Persons who take a
pride in their homes need no urging
to keep the weeds down. They dc
not wait for city proclamation to
remind them of the time.
The trouble is that vacant lots
which are unsightly as the autumn
approaches, are not often seen by the
owners and no one in particular feels
an interest in the appearance of the
property. But all such owners must
bestir themselves or be liable to ar
rest.
Let's make Birmingham the clean
est and best looking city in all Of
Alabama. Weed chopping will con.
tribute greatly to that end.

Position OF British
Crown Discussed
| N REAT BRITAIN was not always
w a democracy, but it is now
There have been attempts since the
Stuarts to restore the monarchica
system of earlier days, but with
every reform movement parliament
tary government became more firmly
established, while the crown recedee
into mere symbolism.
| In the time of Gladstone-especially
in the eighties-when the liberia
party in Great Britain was not only
strong politically, but highly re-
spected by the so-called upper classes
one heard talk of coming republic
But Mr.. Gladstone, democrat as he
was, never encouraged any sentiment
that tended to the substitution of &
new form of government for the tech
meal monarchy. And so well salts
fled are the English people will
democracy as they have it, that only
the most radical politicians ever bring
up the question of republic.
Lord Harcourt, who as Sir William
Harcourt, a leading commoner for ;
dozen years or more, in addressing
liberal meeting recently, spoke in
terestingly and instructively on tn
position of the British crown. H
manifested an ardent admiration TO
republics already existing, but he ha,
no sympathy with any idea seekin,
to transform the British kingdom
into republic.
because there has been revolu
ton in Russia and deposition il
Greece" Lord Harcourt said, "and be
cause there are already republics il
France and in the United States,
small minority of thoughtless, illogi
cal persons in this country though
that we should have republic here.

''UmcIe Joe" CANNON
An American Citizen
TIT ATS off to "Uncle Joe" Cannon!
y y There isn't an unpatriotic bone
in that veteran statesman's body and
the tilt of his cigar is a fair warning
to the Kaiser, if that misguided mon
arch only knew it!
"Uncle Joe" has served notice that
he will not be party to any pestif-
erous politics, designed to embar-
rass the administration. The former
speaker has refused to support Re-
publican Leader Mann in his partisan
fight to create joint congressional
committee on war expenditures. If
such a committee were injected into
the situation now, the result would
be confusion without end and vexa-
tious and costly delays.
Mr.. Cannon is as stanch republic
an as ever lived, but he is first of
all an American citizen. In declining
to play politics in a national crisis
he has set an example which might
we'll be followed by some of his less
enlightened colleagues in Congress.

is one line of mess halls which ex-
tend three miles and are only twenty
yards apart.
The clim.t4 is mild here, but to
our western boys the mornings are
quite cool owing to the damp atmos-
phere They think it very cold here
when the thermometer registers 10
degrees above zero. while we are used
to 30 degrees below.
The people here are the incest inn
aginable. All the churches are OPEN
ed as reading, writing and rest
rooms for the soldiers, and they all
give a social once week. Many of
the families come right out and in
vite us as their guests to socials and
dinner parties and when you are a
guest of southern family you are
the guest of honor. They think we
western soldiers are even nicer and
more gentlemnnly than their own
boys. They have queer conceptions
of the West, however. They seem to
think that we ran around naked until
we were ten or twelve years old, then
captured and branded, clothed and
educated. They are fine people but
they have lived in the East for so
long that they don't know where the
best part of the world is. Hurrah for
the West!

We are being well treated and well
taken care of and Irea ly believe most
of the boys actually enjoy the life.
