Only Fourth of Sum
 Sought in Sight

THE War Savings Stamp cam
 0 paign will probably be extended into next year. A total of two billion dollars by the means of small savings
 was sought, and this amount was to be raised during the current year; but as the sales of Stamps had reached only $572, 435, ,737.S1 on the first of August it is evident that more time than was originally scheduled will be needed if the goal is to be reached.
 The slow progress of the Savings Stamp campaign does not indicate any lack of patriotic interest in the cause. While compact organizations have done earnest work in most of the states, including Alabama, the great Liberty Loan drives have come close upon each other, to say nothing of the Red Cross, and the fact that they have gone far over the top fur nishes abundant proof of the readi- ness of the people to invest Eberally in Uncle Sam's securities for the win ming of the war
 Every government loan has been and the fourth Liberty to be launched on the 18th of September, will be quickly over subscribed, albeit the. amount called for is five billion dollars.
 The War Savings campaign has been marked success in Birmingham and in several other communities in Alabama, but the total raised in the state has not been up to expectations. But let not the workers in the rural districts feel discouraged. Patient effort will be rewarded. If a fresh of education along the lines of thrift and sacrifice be needed, let's nave it. A little self-denial every day for the sake of humanity will bring pig results by the end of the year.
 New is the time for all the small savers to make a fresh start. Ala oama has never yet failed to come ID to the standard in money-raising activities. It must not fail in the War Savings enterprise.

Joys of the Circus
 No Longer Forbidden

M N enlightened city commission by z N a unanimous vote has repealed an ordinance prohibiting circuses from giving performances in Birmingham. A new ordinance will be prepared, "more in keeping with the spirit of the times"
 'Tis we'll. There will be rejoicing among young and old. We need the circus. Uncle Sam views it as neces- sary to the country's welfare, as a strong factor in keeping the home fires burning. Director McAdoo permits the railroads to haul circus property as preferred freight and the big shows are travelling on schedule time, bring ing joy and gladness to millions of people.
 The ordinance which was repealed was passed last May. It was mis- take which the commissioners were quick to recognize. When the circus n-in this part of the country the late summer and autumn-drew near our august commissioners began to fidget in their official chairs.

Birmingham Plight

> Birmingham's Plight ,jkATEWSPAPER comment on the re- 4 N cent primary in the Ninth congressional district, Jefferson coun- ty, makes interesting reading.
 While there is some astonishment expressed because of MT. Huddleston's overwhelming victory, after President Wilson had proclaimed him an oppo- nent of the administration, there is still disposition to give Birmingham the benefit of the doubt In other words, while a majority of voters have administered what seems slap in the face of President Wilson, there is no desire to discredit this city's splendid war record. Our people are still be- lieved to be patriotic and there is moro of condolence than censure expressed.
 However, the rather unenviable part the Ninth district will play in the deliberations of the Sixty-fifth Con- gress have been pointed out. For in- stance, the Roanoke (Va.) Times says:
 Evidently Birmingham has sized
 up Representative Huddleston .ac-
 cording to its lights and is satis-
 fled with him. If that is so, the
 rest of the country has no right to
 object But 1t is hardly likely that
 the Ninth Alabama district will
 exert any preponderating influence
 in the deliberations of the Sixty
 fifth Congress. And for that fact
 the Birmingham and Jefferson
 county voters will have nobody but
 themselves to blame.

Who's Who in America
 Enlarges Its Scope

THE tenth biennial issue of Who's 4 Who in America contains more than 320O pages and 22,968 biogra- Iphies. The first edition contained only s27 pages and S602 names. A new feature of the publication is found under the caption of Edaca- ltional Statistics. Of the total num- Der of persons in the 1916-O7 edition 11,436, or 56.S5 per cent, were gradu- ates of universities or colleges con- ferring baccalaureate degrees in letters, science or philosophy. The graduates of the United States Naval academy numbered 255 and of the United States Military academy 2O7. Those educated in public schools num- bered 1911, or per cent of the whole.
 The total number who attended col lege was 14,660. The total number
 
 who did not attend college or who Hailed to report educational data was 7262, showing that the number at tending college was over twice as large as the number not possessing the advantages afforded by institu- |tions of "higher learning"
 In the alphabetical table of statis- itics, showing the birth place and home address by states and countries, Alabama, of course, heads the list. Of the individuals included in the 22,96S names in the current edition |of Who's Who Alabama was the birthplace of 251 and the home ad- dress of 184. The question arises why did so many persons leave the state of their nativity instead of re- maining here to assist in the work of upbuilding? But similar statistical facts are common to most of the other states; in the south, notably Virginia. The natives of the Old Dominion have ever been rovers.
 Georgia makes a relatively good showing. The natives exceed the num- Der of persons whose home address is Georgia by only 38.
 New York and Illinois are large gathers. The names of native-born New Workers in Who's Who total 33S3 as compared with 4832 giving New York as their home address.

WAR oRAroRY THAT WILL LIVE

T From the Manchester Guardian.
 How much of the war oratory that has flooded us since 1914 will live? Most of it has perished already; there are not even many single phrases that have stuck in tke memory. Mr. Asquith's exception.
 But the only war time oratory which has the suggestion of a posterity about it is that of President Wilson Such phrase as ''The world must be made safe for democracy is already merged so completely into our national sentiment. has become the common idea of so many millions of allied peoples, that we have ceased to attribute individual authorship to it, just because it now belongs to ev- erybody. It is. of course, President Vii sons phrase, uttered in his address 70 Congress in April, 1917. And here arg q few more of the Presidents epigrams that are likely to live:
 'This is TO war for amateurs"
 What am opposed to is not the feel. HIS ol pdcHiSts, put tHeir Slupiuily'
 T believe in the ordinary man."
 There is something very fine in the spirit of the volunteer, but deeper than the volunteer spirit is the spirit of ob- ligation.''
 And then, of course, there is the nota- ble utterance beginning, Force. force to the utmost, force without stint or limit" perhaps the most majestic and thiln- derous words ever uttered by states man in the midst of a great war.
