THE SOAP BOX ORATOR-By Frank Willis Barnett

high office to inflame class against claso in order that they may be leaders and continue to sit in seats of power.
 They pose as the peoples friend. Their stock in trade consists in tirades against the well to do and in flattering the poor. Their pet phrase is the old Marxian ono that Capital is dead labor; that. vam- pire-like, lives by sucking living labor" The faisity of this species of dema- gogy is that they give 1t out that all labor is performed by '1aborers' of the propertyless class, and that all capital is owned by capitalists" This, if you will stop to think moment. is not true. Yet it is the dope the soap-box poil- tician uses to put to sleep the unsuspcct- ing workingman.
 Now, the war has brought us all nearer together here in Birmingham. and it IS with genuine sorrow that face a hot political contest, for I know that things divisive will be started, and that men passions and antagonisms will DC aroused; but let us set our faces as flint toward any man or men who to get an office will stoop so low as to strive to pit class against class and endanger hatreds that will make it harder for us to live in peace as we strain our backs to fight the Kaiser.

All Petty Complaints
 Barred in War Time

TN normal times people who pay tor U good service have right to de- mand it, but it is different now. All petty complaints are barred. Reason able persons are learning the lesson of forbearance as it was never learned before. Even the hard-to-please under ordinary conditions find it difficult to press complaints when the mer- chant, the laundryman, the hotel or restaurant man, or the mlkman pleads, "Well, we are doing the best we can"
 Business in general has been terrl- bly, dislocated by the war, and the dis- location will be more and more Tn evl- dence as the war goes on. Everybody lis expected to make allowances, and every right minded person not only accepts the situation, but gives some evidence of appreciation when told that the best service possible is being rendered.
 The bloody world-strife has brought all of us struggling for a common , cause into bonds of closer sympathy and tenderer comradeship. And strange it would be were not people lin the everyday walks unmoved by the softening influences of this patri- otic solidarity.
 "We are doing the best we can' | is not only familiar phrase today, but in nearly every instance it is true. IFault-finding must reach the vanish ling point, and after the war is over the virtue of kindly speech in daily intercourse and the habit of making
 Unreasonable allowances" should remain
 to sweeten life and cheer the weary
 toiler on his way.

HINDENBURG AND HELL
the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta COnStltutlOE.
 Hinden 9urg climbed hill with the Kaiser, not long since, to view the mir. age of the wide western front land they had promised themselves, anl later on ii was reported for the twentieth time that he was dead.
 But in a late dispatch. with London date line, we are assured that, though somewnat d.sfigured, the old war horse is still alive.
 Hard luct: for Hndenburg. who has to fight and fail, and live to read obituaries wherein he is damned before he dies!
 And nov i. is said that General Hell has come to the front as a new German army leader.
 Hindenburg gave a pretty good imita- tion of it in the blood and burnings ct his strategic" retreats, and in cruelties to the helpless and homeless; but he didn't sweep wide enough to please the Kaiser; and that Paris dinner was. to him, a fatal April fool.''
 And they won't let him stay dead long enough to forget it!

He didn't ask for a volunteer .o go over the top, through the hail of ma chine gun bullets, to drag this wounded young private out. He did it himself, and he saved the life of poor mothers boy.

Kaiser Is Up to
 His Old Tricks Again

r7HHE Boswellian Karl Rosner con-
 U tinues to tighten the gloom of war by his naive comments on the Kali ser. That fearless parsonage has been .sbehind the front" again, watching his soldiers moved down in pitiless slaughter by the machine guns of Americans, French and Italians.
 One of Rosner's recent telegrams- by the way, he has never surp lssed his idyl of Wilhelm and the violets- pictures the German Emperor viewing the battle of Rheims from a tower, "which gave him good view of a wide sector of the front" May we not surmise that it was a particularly strong tower, and Teuton airmen, breathless from the great honor done them in being permitted to guard their masters sacred person, circled over head, while the flower of Prussnn sol diery stood guard round about?
 Having informed his troops that he would watch them going to the sham bles from this tower, the Kaiser con- cludes his message in this character istic way: His majesty's word to his troops is, With God for the Emperor and the empire.'"
 The Kaiser still links his infamous purposes with God. He puts himself first and the empire second. That is also typical of the Hohenzollern. What American would consider it glorious privilege to lay down his life for such an infatuated monster as William II, and the ideals he represents, while the Emperor, figuratively speaking beamed on him from afar and in death gave him pious blessing which reeked with blasphemy?

Great Achievement
 In Shipbuilding

E DWARD N. HURLEY, chairman A of the shipping board, has ac- complished wonders since he was ap- pointed by the President year ago to grapple with a task fraught with stupendous difficulties. As can be understood readily few achievements in Americas preparedness programme have played so vital part, in the prosecution of the war as that re- ferred to.
 Despite all handicaps MT. Hurley's organization, together with the de- fensive measures of the American and British destroyers, have beat the sub marine. In the month of June alone the United States built the equivalent of 80 per cent of what the German submarines destroyed, and in another month or six weeks this country will
 
 be building more ships than the Ger man "subs" have been destroying. At this rate we will soon have a con- siderable surplus.
 MT. Hurley is known to be man of prodigious capacity and tireless en- |ergy. While serving as chairman of the trade commission he made name for himself. His present job is much larger and harder, of course, but 1t has no difficulties that man of Hurleys calibre cannot overcome. And with it all, MT. Hurley is as modest as he is successful.
 America, rich in it's varied natural resources and strong in it's man power, l is distinguished now for the uncom-
 mon talent it has developed in the men
 needed to organize and carry on great
 enterprises making for efficient equip lment with which to fight Germany. Surely ours is country to be proud lof, and every loyal American feels like |shouting over every announcement ie~~~y, >- tArts If the shirrirc beerd.

R1HERE have been slackers in Ala
 bama and there are slackers here
 now. who would rather be against the government than for it in this war. There are farmers and laborers and caPi- talists and lawyers and club members who are slackers.
 They are the selfish ones who really don't know what they are doing.
 They have been led astray by the shrewd tools of the German workers in this community. Some of them are honest slackcrs-men who think they have been done a wrong by their em- ployers; or men of lazy temperament who want to make living by talk.
 These men should stop a moment on this Sunday morning and think. They should analyze themselves: They should consider their neighbor's boy who has gone to the front and who is today fac ing the baytnet of the Hun. The neigh bors boy to the left who has a weak heart will not have to go to the war. He can come over and help blow and be A party to the talk under the big oak tree.

 The social question today includes the industrial question.

'I have been coming to Alabama off and on for many years and have noted with interest it's steady industrial de- velopment," said J. D. Whitaker of Raleigh, N. c.
 "I visited Birmingham for the first time in 1889 It was small city then, but great things were foretold and roseate prophecies have been fulfilled.
 "I am interested especially in the clay and the graphite industries Alabama graphite is now in large demand. This Is known in the industrial circles as the graphite state. Ample capital is being invested in graphite development, and as the business expands Clay county, which is rich in this mineral, will be- come one of the wealthiest localities of the south"
