Local Civic Clubs "Do Things.

CiNtC StupS ''tJO
 Civic clubs in Birmingham have record and a reputation for doing things and they have never yet fallen short of any undertaking they at tempted" said Clarence Lloyd. Their work has been commented on very favorably in many states of the union where it has attracted attention. The newest work the clubs assigned for themselves is the raising of $25,o00 for boys work here. Members of the clubs simply called the attention of the Rotary, Niwanis. Civitan and Community clubs to the fact that in order to continue and improve the splendid work started for boys clubs and Boy Scouts in Birmingham $25,000 will be required from now until Janu- ary l. 1921. The members without dissenting vote in any of the clubs pledged their support to aid in the movement which, judging from their work in the past, simply means that the money will be raised promptly and in true Birmingham style"

Death of John Mitchell
 a Loss to the Natoin

NF all the labor leaders of national W reputation few have been so or so influential as John Mitchell, who died Tuesday
 As president of the United Mine Workers he rendered distinct service to the organization, over which he presided, and to the coal operators as we'll
 He was never radical in his views On the contrary his counsel was al- ways for fairness and peace. No man was more opposed to violence than he.
 In recent years he filled high posi- lions in the labor world and his influ- ence for good was widely felt.
 John Mitchell was conspicuous example of poor boy, without the advantage of schooling, rising by his own exertions, to scholarly level. He became an authority on economic questions and his articles contributed to the leading magazines were marked by clarity and expression and literary finish. In this respect of self-cuIture he was in the class of Andrew Car negie, who, with practically no edu- cational advantages, rose to the rank of man of letters.

Prosperous College
 Year for Alabama

0NHIS is to be a great college year D for Alabama. Several of the institutions of higher learning open this week.
 The University grows in popularity and it's enrolment Tuesday and Wednesday beats all records. For the first time in it's record the dormitories will be congested at the beginning of the session. 1 The outlook for the two institutions ! in Birmingham are exceptionally promising Birmingham Southern opened yesterday with an unusually large attendance and Howard opens today with a record breaking student body.
 Auburn will have the largest enroll ment in its history and no institution I will fall behind it's best records of the past.
 It is encouraging indeed to note that the desire for culture is steadily in creasing A large percentage of the students come from the rural dis tricts, and the prosperity of the farmer accounts in measure for the Influx, to the colleges.
 The old-time notion that college cd tucation was intended only for young men purposing professional career has been exploded. It is coming to be more and more the rule that promi- lnent business men are college bred men.
 Alabama is now recognized among the foremost of the college states, and Birmingham is making strides as an educational center. * < a President Wilson toiu a St. Paul au- dience that men who oppose the league would eventually have time to reflect in obscurity on the mistake they made.
