When adjournment came for the night she turned to me and said :: There is one thing sure, I do not want to be judge, or a lawyer, or sit on a jury or even vote. I believe I prefer to let you men run such things.

Talk About Fishing.
 "on my return trip from Texas l stopped over a day at Gulfport and found the whole town fishing said John c. Moses.
 Everybody seemed to have pole and a nickel's worth of shrimp for bait and were headed for the docks or pier The word had gone out that the spec ed trout were running strong. hence gen. eral holiday was declared tor take'D. As I stood watching the hundreds of game fish being landed, it struck me that rodmen who live in inland towns and have to go miles to enjoy day, really never have had the pleasure of fishing sure enough
 occasionally, fellow fishing pretty close to bottom would land a nice floun der, while the negroes were catching perch and groupers by the basket along side the pling. It makes the sap rise in d fellow just to think about it." t.
 Give Soldiers Jobs Back
 ''The soldiers who have returned most certainly should be given their jobs back said Ralph Quinn, assistant United States district attorney.
 They deserve them for they gave up good jobs to go and fight for their coun- try and they deserve better treatment, in my opinion. It would be a. good idea, think, to have q committee of promf- nent business professional and club men to visit the various corporations and business houses which displayed service flags and seemed proud of the number of men in the service, and see just how many of those men had returned and been reinstated. The majority of these men must have work and l don't feel that Alabama will neglect her men now when they need assistance most

THE TOLL OF THE DEAD

death and disease signify to any coun-
 try, for back of every death there IS
 too often family or group tragedy
 that does not end with the war and
 which deTelops conditions as to mind
 and body and spirit that no statistics
 can take into account Indeed, some
 idea of how uneloquent are the mere
 figures in General Marchs list IS
 shown in that the United States is put
 dowr as losing only 00,00o men, but
 with total of 266000 ca asualties up to date. the dead adding up to 70,00J
 when those who died from disease are also included. But when it is recalled
 how our total losses and the present condition of the wounded and the in-
 capacitated have already brought
 about reactions in the United States
 which cannot as yet be rasped or es- timated, it must be plain that some thing else must go along with the death total to make clear to all of us
 what our war sacrifices really por- tend.
 Nor are such overwhelming fis- pres as total expenditure on our part of over $50, 900, ,0o0 000 and on the part of all belligerents of s179,000, 000.0 .00u. for war anything more than stupefyins at first glance. Yet all these figures, which are insignificant compared with the human and the property losses abroad, have the deepest significance, since there is no fact connected witB the war that is fraught with such meaning and with such pregnant pos abilities as that which deals with the
 their stamina when "bled white" and
 their very soul when stirred to the
 depths by their sacrifices. Such things
 no statistics can reveal.
 And so with us it is not only exactly what our war service means in human
 energy and money values that signifies
 but what the tremendous losses Of the allies mean to us as well as tp themselves that must be considered. As the world does take these terrible totals into account there should not only develop feeling that wars must cease. but that there can be no pun .> ishment too great for the imperial ma dmen who will the war as dynas- tic and national, caprice. For the bat tie deaths are, as frightful as they are, but the merest sign and symbol of what the world endured in order that it might save civilization from
 the menace of the Hun.
