Public-Spirited Citizens
 Should Vote for Amendment

ID BIRMINGHAM, along with AZ
 O other municipalities in Ala bama, is in the position of man try ing to support a large family on 8 pre-war salary. The city is sorely in need of an adequate income to trans act it's business, make necessary im- provements and prevent its property from falling into disrepair.
 The voters of this state will have an opportunity tomorrow to say whether or not relief will be afforded to these municipalities by allowing them to hold special elections and levy a small tax increase not to exceed one-half of one per cent in any one year.
 Every public-spirited citizen wants to see this constitutional amendment carry by an overwhelming vote. Bir- mingham, which is now recognized as one of the largest and most progres- sive cities in theN south, and ranks among the. nations important indus trial centers, has been struggling along trying to make both ends meet without success. Our streets have been neglected, our sewerage system has been outgrown, our city jail would disgrace town of one-tenth Birming- hams population. In fact, every de- partment of the city is suffering for lack of funds.
 If we are to move on,, if we are to realize to the full Birmingham s splendid future, the citizens of Bir- mingham must put their shoulder to the wheel and be ready to make a minimum sacrifice to achieve max imum of results. Birmingham cannot continue as a going corporation on the present basis. We cannot have city of which we may feel proud, city that invites new people to make their homes here because of it's superior ad- vantages, unless some provision is made to pay the bills and provide im- movements.
 Vote today for the constitutional amendment that will not only enable Birmingham to achieve her destiny, but will give relief to many other mu- inequalities in the state which are sim ilarly handicapped
 As for the second amendment, granting poll tax exemptions to for mer service men, that is generally in- dorsed.

Price of New York Papers
 Increased to 10 Cents

10 EGINNING January 4, all news " papers published in New York, with the exception of two, which have already advanced their rates, will charge ten cents for Sunday issues in the country districts.
 Throughout America newspaper publishers have been forced by the white paper shortage and the conse- quent high cost of news print to charge more for their papers. At previous rates, the price of many Sunday newspapers would not begin to pay for the white paper used. Even at double the former price, there is still discrepancy in the cost of white paper in bulky edition and it's cost to the public.

STRANGE CASE OF DIR. GRANT

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
 Curious intellectual twists are char acteristic of our parlor bolshevists. Here is the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, Tor example, comparing the recently deported reds with the Pilgrim Fathers. Winthrop and Bradfvrd. to say nothing of that stout old soldier. Miles Standish. would have been amazed at such a comparison. pr. Grant enlarges on the idea by recall ing the treatment of Baptists and Quakers by the sternly Calvinistic New England colonists.
 How completely he misapprehends the character of the unwilling pas sengers on the Buford is revealed when he urges the deportation of editors who deliberately suppress news" and those who despise democ- racy," but not of our workmen." It is no compliment to honest labor to put the Goldmans and Berkmans in its class. These reds work, no doubt. when they have to. but their prin- cipal occupation has been that of agi- tation- The confusion of thought which is the hallmark of the intelli- sentsia could not be better illustrates than by the odd classification which pr. Grant sponsors.
 That anarchistic propaganda should succeed among the ignorant, that de- nunciation of those who have should be supplanted by those who have not. Is no surprise. But there is certainly screw loose in the mental machinery of educated men who see democracy in the overthrow of democratic insti- tutions and regard the disciples of violence as honest workmen.

it wise to go before there was any let down in his sermonic work.
 Yes, there are pastorates which have lasted for a half century. but they arc extremely rare. think it is claimed by tho Methodists that there is as much changing among the Baptists, where there is no time limit, as there is among them, and from long experience as the editor quainted with the restlessnes sof pastors and the desire for change in the congre- cations. that there was continual ex- odus of Baptist preachers from one church to another.
 One of the longest and most memor- able pastorates in my own knowledge within the state is that of Dr. l.. O. Dawson at Tuscaloosa, where for more than 25 years he has not only served The First Baptist church, but has been looked upon almost in the night of the com munity pastor, for he is in demand from all denominations in time of joy and sor- row. He is not only consecrated. fear less and eloquent preacher. but takes great interest in civic affairs. and is an all around "good fellow Or he would not be the president of the Tuscaloosa Rotsry club. gladly hand him this boquet in spite of the brickbat he let loose at me when he was the guest of Rotary here few weeks ago.
 l have often heard preachers advised to burn their old sermons and write some new ones, but the only man in my mem, ory who ever took his own advice was none other Nthan our own beloved pr. w B. Crumpton, who some 10 years or more ago on bright spring day took an armfuf of his manuscripts out into a nearby orchard and made bonfire of them. If didn't love him so would slig- gest that it was no longer necessary for him to keep them. as he had preached them so often as to know them by heart I'll add this testimony that they grow better by repetition, for I have heard him take an old one and keep on delivering it until it had the flavor of new one.
 
 Booker Washington used to have vam- ous story about being called in to af- bitrate between Baptist congregation and its pastor. The deacons. with the ma jority vote of the church behind them. had asked him to hand in his resigna- ton, but he having a loyal minority. asked for conference on the matter. The president of Tuskeegee first heard the pastors statement and then the spokes. man of the deacons arose and with great dignity. said: Ut is this way. we heard dat nigger preach his sermons one year, and we called him agin, and we heard him preach 'em all over once more, aMn we dun made up our mind we amt going to pay for 'em any more"
 I am not a connoisseur of wine. but those who are say it improves with age, and I am sure that some sermons, like fruit cakes. are better when they are old. Take the case of an evangelist I wonder how many times Sam Jones. Moody and even George Stuart. repeated their sermons. daresay that some of the true and tried ones went beyond the hundred mark. and got stronger with each presentation. have heard many sermons
