LAS far as violations of the law is con-
cerned, Birmingham is experiencing one
OF the most orderly Christmas times in
some years" said Sergeant of Police II.
II. Moriand. II remember several years
ago, the days before Christmas were
marked by unusual disturbances. especi-
ally in the downtown district
This year We have answered few calls
for disorderly people on the streets, And
at the same time everybody appears 20
be enjoying the times more than ever
i firmly believe the elimination of John
Barleycorn' is the secret of the change.
1T is great sight to watch the shop
pers during the holidays, and take de-
light in viewing the crowds. Take it
from me, Christmas is the king of all
tines

The appeal was comprehensive and

Small Contributions
Help Materially

mr. HE Alabama Children's Aid
q Society is making a Christmas
appeal for funds with which to carry
on its work. People have been called
on to contribute to so many worthy
causes this year that some of the
most deserving institutions may not
receive as much support as they would
in ordinary times.
OF all the charities hereabouts few,
Iif any, come closer to the heart than
the Children's Aid Society. The Rev.
Middleton S. Barnwell is the presi-
dent, Crawford johnson is the treas
urer. and Ralp S. Barrow is the state
superintendent. The latter is especial
ly well equipped for his work and
loves it. Neglected and helpless little
ones, discovered in wretched houses,
are succored and good homes are
found for them.
The expense of administration has
been underwritten by prominent citi-
zens. There are no overhead charges,
therefore, but money is needed for
the support of the children who are
cared for in temporary homes of clean
environment.
The society will be grateful for
small sums, but it is hoped that
large number of people will subscribe
as much as $12 year, payable 81 a
month. The letter signed jointly by
President Barnwell and Treasurer
johnson, which appeared in yester-
days Age-Herald, was in the nature
of a sympathetic and stirring plea
for aid, and it will doubtless meet
with ready response.

oh, the patriotic dollar

chasing land for the nitrate plant.
Exorbitant prices were the exception
rather than the rule. The public
spirited people of Sheffield, Florence
ard Tuscumbia frowned on any at
tempts to hold up the project through
private greed.
But where land spectators and
owners Of property may be persuaded
to recognize a patriotic duty toward
the government, they are frequently
not so considerable of the private in
weston. This is mistaken policy and
can only result in harm to any city
or town where such practices are
permitted.
There is great opportunity before
the Tri-Cities-a splendid future
which will bring prosperity in Ie-
climate way. The value of property
has naturally increased and it is
worth more than formerly, but selfish
ness will defeat it's own ends.
Strangers who are flocking to the Tri-
Cities with money to invest should be
encouraged and given a square deal,
when their intentions are good. They
will make substantial citizens. Unfair
treatment will drive away capital and
give the Tri-Cities a bad name.

TWO MEMBERS OF JONES FAMIL,

49, VT CO4vE
From the Cincinnati Times-Star
We never heard of j. Gordon Jones
until he appeared in the United States
supreme court in behalf of Albert
Jones who refused to register as re-
quired by the selective draft law. In
the course Of his argument j. Gordon
Jones asserted that the war against
kaiserism and Prussianism had never
received the approval of the American
people. His argument was interrupted
by Chief Justice Edward D. White. who
administered singing rebuke to this
self-constituted interpreter Of the
American people
We will pit the intelligence and
patriotism of Edward D. White against
the pacifist intellect Of J. Gordon Jones
in judging the American people. Tho
ratio In quantity of intelligence and
patriotism Is just abou, the ratio be-
tween the numbers Of those who wish
to fight that democracy may be pre-
served and of those who would permit
this country to become Prussian booty.
The worst that We can say for j.
Gordon Jones, however, is that he must
be some relation to his client, Albert
Jones And in so saying we wish to
apologize to the lar, and patriotic
clan consisting of all the other
Joneses.
