Jefferson County Jail
 Uniustly Criticized

GAYS the Albany Decatur Daily: g "The Birmingham jails apparently are places of detention only for those who have no strong desire to regain their liberty. Hardened criminals and minor offenders alike seems to escape from these institutions almost at will"
 The above criticism was promoted by the escape of negro criminal from the Jefferson county jail, who claims that he bought his way to ib- erty. Whether he is telling the truth or not, the evidence brought out by an investigation shows that he had little trouble in escaping. However, the two prison officials held respon- sible were promptly discharged.
 Following the sensational escape of David Overton and his companions from the county jail, there was gen. eraI overhauling both of the jail and its operating system, which was ur- gently needed.
 Small salaries are paid to minor officials and there is always chance that someone can be bribed, but in the main the people of Birmingham and Jefferson county are well satisfied with the management of the county jail since it has been placed under new men and a new system.

LUKE WLUKE SAYS

You will never get reputation as brilliant conversationalist just because you cast reflections.
 Every woman follows the fashions closely But a whole lot of the poor things are unable to catch up with them.

 No matter how scrappy an aviator may be, he never tries to take a fall out of an aeroplane.
 The prohibitionists win also begin to realize that war is hell. Their favorite patent medicines containing 40 to 60 per cent alcohol will either have to reduce the percentage of alcohol or raise the price.
 You have to hand it to the women for wearing nifty little hats without any brim to speak of. We never did care for the picture hat that was SO big that it looked like a landscape. A whole lot of of men are just like Nuke. We are doing our bit by swear Ting off on veal. F. S.-We never did like veal, anyway.

THE WOOD NYAlPH

Richard Le Gallienne In Harper's Maga- zine. The others were all around you, Singing and dancing there, The wonderful night found you, With your forest eyes and hair Lonely as all things fair. When the room and the people faded, As you turned your eyes on me, And the woods, all leafy and shaded, Grew round us, tree by tree, Safe with no eyes to see. And we knew we had found each other, After thousand years; Yea! you and I and no other Mated by all the spheres
 A-glitter like golden tears. o girl made all of wood lilies
 And starry cups of dew, M Not the mirrored moon so still Is. Or wonder hushed as you-
 My moon so divinely new. The raiment that rustled around you Was all of young leaves made, That wonderful night found you Alone in the forest glade
 So white in the green shade. For the room they sang and danced in. Though the rest were unaware, Was the wood we were entranced in, And no one else was tbere-
 Because We two were there. <

KEY TO WILSON'S LIFE

mouthpiece of his party, whose poncies the nation has approved by a oeciulns vote and 1t is incumbent upon him. as the national leader to see personally that it's wishes be executed. He began his term of office by going in person 10 Congress with his message. tnerepE showing that he did not intend 10 pc an ex parte member of the legisiatlN~ branch of the government but to tax" an active interest in the fulfilling Of ni- party obligations. What have been the results? His party promised re- vision of tariff law-the Underwood plll was passed It promised a new cur rency system-the federal reserve banks have been established. It promised destruction of monopoly-the Clanton antitrust bill is on the statute books A new foreign policy was one of the blanks of the democratic platform, and the President has revolutionized diplomacy.
 He was much criticized for his han ding of the Mexican affair. His course may not have been wise, but it certainly was in keeping with the principles that
  ples to control themselves. His watch full waiting and Keeping us out of war policies were exactly ill line with his teachings. There was no inconsistency in his acts In the European war ne was so determined to be impartial that most Americans became impatient at ms seeming inactivity. Americans sui fered, American ships were blown up' American property destroyed. American lices were lost, yet. MT. Wilson recog- nized that the Germans might be inn pelled to these acts by the exigencies of the war, and having a less acute sense or their moral obligations to other nations, their actions might not jibe with our views He tried to see their viewpont and to treat then. justly.
 He strove valiantly to avoid the con flict. However, there was a limit to his forbearance, and when Germany revoked her promises to protect American ships and began anew her ruthless U-boat campaign, the Rubicon had been crossed. American rights were to be protected by force of arms. Having once entered war; he determined to make good job out of it, so that in future 1t will be unnecessary to reteach the German gov ernment lessons about democracy and the is not one of reprisal or vfndictiveness. It is along the modern idea of penal correction.

Progress in Good
 Road Construction

@TATE HIGHWAY ENGINEER 0 W. s. KELLER, who has been in conference here with members of the highway commission, brings the gratifying information that there is fine good roads enthusiasm in Ala bama at this time and that practically all the counties in the state will soon be prepared to claim their share of the government appropriation under the Bankhead act He remarked further that government aid would prove a wonderful incentive and that the time would come when there would be no bad roads in Alabama.
 When one looks back a few years and recalls the poor condition of the country roads-even of the most im- portant highways s-the progress that QdS DGeIl liduc lcCCHtiy oSCAio iAieAA vicious. But there is yet much to be done. Plans are being developed carefully, and new construction work will soon be in full swing.
 It is the dream of all good roads enthusiasts to see Alabama at the head of the list among the southern states noted for their highway work. And there is reason to believe the dream will come true. Intensive farming is contributing immeasurably to the wealth of this part of the country, but nothing will enhance farm values quite so much as good road building. Let there be no flag ging.

WHALE MEAT GOOD AS BEEF

From the Woman's Home Companion.
 Several kinds of new sea food are peing put on the market
 Whaling is not what 1t used to be, but there are still some 1500 of them killed each year on the Pacific coast. Tn the body of each of these whales there is 10000 pounds of first-class meat. The Japanese whalers retrieve this meat and find ready market for it at home. The American whaler throws it away.
 It is a fact not currently appreciated that the whale is not fish. It's flesh has no fishy taste whatever. The whale is a warm blooded animal, is a mammal which suckles It's young. Its flesh Is therefore comparable with that of other mammals such as the COW; 1t Is stSak.
 An enterprising whaler last /season brought some whale meat into Seattle and placed it in the butcher shops and had it served at the hotels. It sold for 10 cents a pound, and the hotels served steaks for 40 cents that would have cost $l.50 had they been beef. Guests ate of the whale meat and pronounced 1t as good as beef. Last year, also, the same experiment was tried at Long
 Reach. Cal, and the whale meat sold readily in the butcher shops and was liked by consumers. So it is earnestly urged. in these trying. times. that house. keepers and hotels use the steak of these l500 whales. which is equal in nutrittve value to the meat of 100000 prime pork ers

William H. Crawford, in Leslie's.
 HR N ND after all, one ideal Is worth
 AA 20 ideas." said Woodrow Will
 1 S son, long before there was any thought of his becoming President of the United States. This sentiment has permeated his entire life. It is the key unlocking the mysteries of his soul By It's aid, we can understand some or his actions that are otherwise difficult for this practical, mercenary, worldly hu- manity to comprehend. Germany has failed to grasp the fact that our Pres ident was urged on by no motive of com mercial interests, increased military power. or aggression, in his various mes sages addressed to the world in the in terest of humanity.
 Germany can only see the cynical prin- ciple that might makes right" and IS frankly sceptical concerning his al- truistic aims. It feels that his making the world safe for democracy" Is ora torical bombast. It believes that man is never directed in his course of action by high ideals of Justice and right.
 In the study of Wilson's career, let us then keep in mind the thought that he Is a practical ideallst. Let us re- member that he is no politician. that he is actuated by no thought of personal advantage, or honor, or fame that may accure to him, but. placing his ideals before him, he has distinctly aimed since boyhood to be of public service to the people. He has striven for the better ment and uplift of the world. He has aimed at democratizing democracy. If, during the process of carrying his ideals to their flower, he has gained honors and preferment. it was purely inciden- tai.
 While we may not have agreed with his policies, as frequently we have not, while we may not have always approved Of his judgment, a careful investigation of the man and long study of his career has convinced us that he is al- Of honor and right.
 Bear in mind that MT. Wilson's theory is that government should be based on justice to all, not only to Americans. but also to the outside world He has attempted to put this Utopian theory into actual practice. It is pertinent to inquire if he has succeeded in subst1- tuting righteousness in the place of practical politics.
 He taught that the President should be the national leader, that he is the

When the Censorship
 Defeats Its Object

6T HERE are obvious reasons why
 U movements of troops, the ar- rival and departure of ships and other matters of a military nature should be kept secret, but the gov ernment censorship has on more than one occasion invited ridicule by a clumsy deletion of news dispatches which conceal nothing.
 Newspaper readers have become accustomed to such phrases as "An Atlantic Port" or "A Pacific Port" when any schoolboy knows that they mean New York and San Francisco. Occasionally there might be room for speculation, were it not for the fact that the dispatch carrying this "cryp- tic" date line contains so many local references that the identity of the port is beyond question. A German spy certainly has no difficulty in read ing between the lines and gleaning all the information he wants.
 A strict censorship is virtually i'm possible in America and the fact that we have undertaken for the first time to maintain something of the sort ac- counts for most of the blunders made.
 To the credit of the newspapers it cnn be said that they have for the most part Loyalty co-sperated with fhe government in suppressing infor- m,tion that should be withheld for
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-15

military reasons, but if news is to be censored, the gentlemen who have its work in charge should discriminate between matters of importance and those of no importance and when they do censor a dispatch, they should make thorough job of it.

FENCING \ CONTINENT

From the YOuth's Companion.
 Since 1891 the state of South Australia has erected 29,14S miles of vermin fences, enough to encircie the world and with the remnant build double line of fence along the southern border of the United States New South Wales has spent more than $27O00,0O0 for rabbit extermina- ton and has within its borders 9S,e0o miles of fence. Of late years, says the National Geographical Magazine tt rabbit has been paying his board.
