SENATE LIBERALIZES PROHIBITION BILL

Washington, August H-tSpeeial )-The Senate is about to make the House very mad. It is liberalizing the bill which would make the prohibition amendment to the constitution effective It is striking some of the features regarded as unusual ly drastic and offensive to the idea of American freedom.
 And thus that section making law of- ficers of chauffeurs, hack drivers and Pullman car porters, of whatever color. must go. Under the House section, it became the duty of such persons seeing man or woman take drink, or juds ing man or woman intoxicated, to arrest such individual and turn him over to the courts for prosecution.
 The Senate has further amended the House bill so that search and seizure warrants may be acquired only in the way that such warrants are acquired for ordinary offenses. Another amendment liberalizes the House section which holds owners of property responsible for con duct of tenants. Under the Senate amendment before such owners can be held responsible for the acts of tenants they must have had personal knowledge of such acts.
 The Senate however, retains the House section banning the manufacture, sale and importation of liquors containing more than one-half of per cent alcohol, but prevents the application or thls sec tion to patent medicines, medicinal cor dials, syrups, toilet articles, perfumery and flavoring extracts, all of which con tain alcohol to an excessive degree. The Senate amendments further, would permit the unlicensed manufacture of cor dials. elders and fruit juices, ''non-al- coholic'' beverages for domestic consump tion.
 The House prohibitionists are writhing under what they term the folly of the Senate in refusing fully to cooperate.

of which Japan was promised Shautung, the rich Chinese possession.
 The American draft was delivered to the Senate when the Senate by resolution called on the President for the delivery of that draft. The Senate wanted it pri- marily for the purpose of acquiring knowledge of the Presidents attitude when he approached the job of making
 peace perpetual Since the reception of the draft, republican senators have stud jed it assiduously, and have criticised the President for the preparation of Article x and the neglect of the Monroe doctrine, They praise the President for his effort ment, but again criticise him for his in ability to stand against the attacks of Great Britain and France.
 There is reason to believe, friends of the President hold, that MT. Wilson re- turned from France disappointed. It is said that it was his belief in the begin ming that the powers with which the United States was associated would enter into the fabrication of league of na- tions covenant with the unselfish ideal ism of America. Instead, the other pow CTS approached the task, it is indicated, with determination selfishly to get out of it all that they humanly could. It came to light that England would not dis

 It is said that Mir. Wilson, when he
 saw that 'idealistic" negotiations were
 entered into with the same spirit which
 features material negotiations, aban-
 doned hope of a covenant measuring up to his aim and ambition. and rather than
 suffer the loss of the entire plan, accept
 ed the substitute as the best which could be obtained
 The President has made no explanation to the above effect. The above, however is the opinion of many members of the Senate, the deduction drawn by senators from a comparison of the American draft
 and the draft of the covenant which was adopted,

HARDING'S RECENT
 LETTER IS PRAISED

Washington, August H.-(Special. )-ln addition to pre-eminence as a wizard of finance, W. P. G. Harding of Birming- ham, governor of of the federal reserve board, is acquiring fame as a writer of fine phrases and philosopher of very sound theories.
 The Washington Post comments on the letter MT. Harding wrote Senator Me-
 Lean regarding proposed legislation for the elipination of distress incident to the high cost of living, which letter The Age Herald has published in part. as fol- lows:
 'The federal reserve board offers to the nation excellent advice in the letter writ ten to Senator Mclean, chairman of the Senate committee on banking and cur rency, by Gov. W. P. c. Harding. One paragraph in particular should be brought to the attention of every man,
 woman and child in the country and inn pressed upon them with all the earnest ness possible. It says:
 "'The federal reserve board would sug- gest that whether viewed from an eco homie or financial standpoint, the rem edy for the present situation is the same namely, to work and to save: to work regularly and efficiently in order to pro duce and distribute the largest possible volume of commodities and to exercise reasonable economies in order that
 
 voted primarily to the liquidation of debt and to the satisfaction of the demand for necessities, rather than to indulgence in extravagances or the qualification of a desire for luxuries.'
 1 No better slogan could be coined for
 the American people at this time than
 this-work and save, If it were adopted
 unanimously and adhered to with idel- | ity, solution of the difficulties which | 10 n fol~l lx 1 the reached.
 "Thousands of men, harred by the bur dens of high prices. made arrogant by the exceptional high level of wages and
 the prospect of securing more. resort to i strikes to enforce their demands. In this way they serve only to intensity the l troubles which surround them and their fellow citizens. They do not work and save; they idle and waste, and thus pro 1 long the unhappy conditions. ''Others who find themselves in pos
 session of more money than they ever ] had before plunge into an orgy of extrav-
 agance. living at an unwarrantably high
 rate. indulging in luxuries and pleasures | far beyond the limits of their means and 1 thus adding their part to the cumulative burdens of the people. They do not work
 enough and they save nothing.
 Tt is good, y,ound. sensible advice that
 the federal rtseve board gives, and ii
 should be needed by every thoughtful citizen. So long as a large portion oi | the population devote their energies to
 ward securing as much remunera ton a: 1 possible for as little effort as possible i there can be no permanent relief from tn, ] high cost of living. for there will be a continuous falling off of production, with | a proportionate increase in the demand for commodities.

Washington, August 4-(Special.) )-Ths covenant for a league of nations which the United States proposed, and which was written by President Wilson. coupled with an explanation by Secretary Llns- ing, brings to light the following facts:
 CD The President proposed the guaran- Article x of the covenant which became Artice x of the covenant eventually adopted. It is this section which, ac- cording to opponents of the league, makes the covenant an instrument for war rather than peace; it is the section against which the opposition has directed its bitterest fire.
 (2) The President proposed freedom of the seas which proposal is not contained in the covenant as eventually adopted It was this proposal of the President which encountered the opposition of Great Brit ain and which resulted, it is thought, in the adoption by the peace makers of the covenant written by General Shuts.
 (S) In the Presidents draft there is no reservation regarding the Monroe doc Urine. This would indicate that the in- clusion in the adopted document of the Monroe doctrine as & regional under standing resulted either from agitation during the conferences on this side of the Atlantic or from suggestion of Eng land or France.
 ,fD Japan and Great Britain studiously kept the President unapprised of the exis- tence of secret treaties under the terms

BARGE DELIVERY DELAYED

Tuscaloosa, August 14-(Special) Information brought by Congressman Oliver from Washington is to the effect that the delivery of the first of the model self propelled steel barges, now being constructed for the Warrior riv- CT traffic for the United States gov ernment has been delayed by strikes and other reasons so the Mississippi Warrior transportation division of the inland waterway committee of the rail road administration does not expect it to be ready for use before January 1. There are several of these barges un- der construction, and they are badly needed, but the builders say that they have been subject to unforeseen and un- expected delays.
 Congressman Oliver points out that when these vessels rare in service and the various ports such as Demopohs and Mobile and Birmingham have their proper terminals, the cost of water transportation will undoubtedly fall so as to warrant further reductions. but this cannot be expected without adequate equipment and a volume of tonnage. He believes the Joint rail and water rate will be extended to other communities in this general re- zion capable of, producing tonnage for the Warrior boats later when there is more equipment in hand.
 It is also pointed out that there is nothing to prevent coal companies from building their own barges, or lumber concerns also and that towboa ts can take on an extra barge or so very frequently, and in this way the pres ent shortage of equipment can be much mitigated.
 There continues to be much activity on the river here with steel ha towboats and like craft hurrying on their voyage as fast as possible but nearly always coming up river empty which causes good deal of specula tion as to why Birmingham does not make some use of these terminals al Tuscaloosa. pending construction of her own.

Some people think all you have to do to run an apart ment store is to rent a build ing, hire clerks, buy some goods, mark up a profit on them and offer them for sale.
 ' Some people think all you have to do to be a lawyer is to be able to make a speech and say ''ipso facto" and some more funny sounding names like that.
 Some people think all you have to do to be a fire insur- ance agent is to get the agency for some good com pany and hang a sign in front of your office.
 To be a good fire insur- ance agent you have to know how to fit policies to your customers needs. And that is just as complicated a know how as the know how of any other business or pro- fession.
 Some business men are mighty careful to do busi- ness only with lawyers who know how, only with doctors who know how, only with automobile mechanics who know how-yet these same men sometimes permit their fire insurance to be written by any agent who happens to be a personal friend.
 Other more careful men are entrusting She writing of their fire insurance only to an agent who really knows how.
 The corps of men consti- tuting the Trustees System insurance department know their business. Headed by James H. Awtrey, they are, with out exception, men trained in the many ramifi- cations of fire insurance ; when one of them delivers you a policy you may know it has been prepared espe- cially to cover the hazards of your particular business.
