GLASS SLABS
CAREERS AND
LOAN CRITICS
Americans Who Join Croak-
ers and Quibblers Not
Worthy Of Name.


Secretary OF the Treasury Carter
Glass hit out straight from the Shout
der today at those Americans" who
now that the guns are cooling are
unwilling to pay for American victory
He said:
THE coming issue of government
bonds has been designated the victory
liberty loan and it seems to me 1t
might we'll be termed the thanksgiv-
ing loan, for If ever people had
cause for thanksgiving we are that
people.
Could Stand II.
Consider if the war had lasted an
other year what would have been our
state. Instead of sixty thousand dead
we likely would have had hundreds of
thousands. In time we might have
equaled the record of France, with
her two million slain. And yet some
of us grumble because the government
must spend further money to main
tain the comfort and bring home in
safety those boys whose lives were
spared.
fifteen billions of dollars, expenditure
of which had been authorized and
which would have had to be expended,
with billions of other dollars, had the
war gone on another year. We all are
glad, of course. that it is not neces-
sary to spend these additional bill
lions, but had 1t been necessary the
spending of them still would not have
brought the nation down to ruin.
I'VE still would have been far be-
hind France in the amount of our
debt, compared to wealth and popu-
lation. With our man-power practi-
cally intact. with our towns and fac
tories and farms unchanged, should
we be cowed by monetary obliga-
ton lighter far tran the one France
faces unafraid?
Those Americans who today have
joined the carpers and the quibblers
are not worthy Of the name. They
are not worthy the boys they sent !
forth to make. if need be. the SUI
peme sacrifice that liberty might live.
Dollars and Sons.
1t is incomprehensible to me that
any of the men who gave their sons
20 gladly and so proudly to their
country in its hour of peril should
urn SO quickly to cold and calculat-
ng contemplation of the dollar. Had
he war gone on they would, with
-ual pride. have offered other sons
nd would have continued to give of
heir wealth ungrJdgingly. Now that
he coming of peace has restored
heir sons to them. will they tighten .
p their purse-strings and adopt an
ttitude which would seem to say:
Let the government go hang?'

REPUBLICANS CHARGE
DEMOCRATS WITH POLITICS

Washington. October 31.-(Special.)
While the President in vetoing prohioi-
ton legislation was actuated by motives
which he considered proper. his action
was good politics, in the opinion of dem
ocratic and republican leaders.
While the democrats know that the
President did not make his move for
any unworthy purpose. the republicans
affirm that his only purpose was un-
worthy. Senator Penrose. the big boss
of the republican party. is especially
vindictive.
Out of it all, comes the fact that 1t
is regarded as good politics to take a
slap at prohibition. On calling the Con
gress into extra session the President
urged the abolition of wartime prohibit
ton Congress refused to act. FIVE
months later he vetoes a prohibition bill
because 1t provided for the enforcement
of wartime prohibition. Congress over
turned the veto.
When asked why the Presidents action
was good politics, astute leaders answer;
'"The south favors prohibition But IN
national politics the south is to be ig-
nored. 1t will vote the democratic ticket
irrespective of what the party STANDS
for. 1t is different in other sections, es-
pecially in the populous east.
in New York. New Jersey, Illinois,
Indiana and Pennsylvania the democratic
party is liberal and as such is opposed
to prohibition. The President by his
action has let it be known that he mas
done what he could against wartime
prohibition, and that for the continual
ton of the state of affairs, Congress, Win
republican majorities, is responsible.
"It was a rotten trick" said Penrose,
who himself is wet.

MOBILE SOON TO HAVE
PREFERENTIAL COAL RATE

Washington, October 8.-(Special)
The shipping board, as previously report
ed, will grant Mobile a preferential rate
of $t50 on coal destined for Latin
America and Cuba, as soon as Mobile
and Birmingham formally apply for such
a rate.
AS the rate will put Atlantic ports
"out of business as far as points south
are concerned, it is matter of great
Importance to Alabama, the congressional
delegation declares.
The application will be made within
few days, it is reported. Communications
have been exchanged between members
of the delegation and Garrard Harris,
trade commissioner of the department
of commerce, who is now in Birmingham.
In consequence, the application,
signed by representative business men
of various Alabama cities, is expected
to reach Washington early next week. AT
the present time it appears impossible
to secure a rate from Mobile to Europe
which will permit Mobile to compete in
coal shipments, with Atlantic ports.
1t is a matter of distance variations,
the shipping board, through Chief of OPP
erations Taylor, affirms

Mr.. Burgess Feels Much Bet

Iron Tonic

Investigation and research work by
many of the leading medical author
tiles show that many weak, tired
people often lack the necessary
amount of iron in their blood. Iron
is needed to keep the system in good
condition. Weakness and that tired

iron is supplied.
Mr.. C. C. Burgess, of 2412 Wells

"Ziron has done me lots of good. /

For the Good of
the Community

THE number Of salary loan COM
L panies operating in Birming-
ham has increased from eight or 10
to Is in the last year, according to
persons who have investigated the
matter. It is said they are all doing
a good business.
This condition exists in spite of
the fact that the working people of
the Birmingham district are receiv-
ing better salaries than ever before
in the history of the district.
One man who has had something
to do with number of the loan COM
panies states that it is not the men
working on salaries or the poorer
paid laboring class that are borrow
ing from these loan companies, but
the bulk of their trade comes from
men whose monthly pay runs up
ward Of $3.50. Some, in fact, who
draw down as much as $3.50 a month
are regularly on the books of these
companies.
This is not very encouraging outlook
In fact, it reflects on the intelligence.
thrift and foresight of the highly paid
Worklngmen who keep themselves in the
clutches OF eXtOrtlonate money lenders
len per cent month is the usual rate of
interest charged by these concerns for
loans Money borrowed at 120 per cent
year is rather expensive, and there is
little hope OF man who continually pays
this rate of interest ever getting ahead.
There is no excuse fora man who earns
Sl5O to $3.50 month borrowing month
after month at such extortionate rates of
interest 1t is said that the number of men
earning the higher of these sums and who
never get out of debt to the salary loan
concerns is large Their loans are not
large, individually, but they hardly ever
pay them off in full They never get out
of debt
On pay day they pay up the monthly
1nstalfnent, and before the final one
comes due they negotiate a new loan for
as much or more than the original one.
In it is this condition that makes the
Worklngman easy prey for the agitator
whose sole purpose is to keep himself in a
job that requires no physical work, but
lot of wind amming.
It is this kind of man that is an easy
mark for the preacher of bolshevism and
all it's attendant discomfort and unrest.
AS time goes on and they get deeper
and deeper in debt they become discon-
tented and are ready to accept the the
cries of that element which seeks to de-
stroy government and all that govern
ment stands for.
The man that has nothing the extrav-
agant, the thriftless, the persistent bor-
rover is the one that first falls for the
false doctrine of the bolsheviki the l. w.

tear down.

earners does a good service; some men cannot get
