ssTF the river is to perform the full ser
vice for which it is fitted, at the full
economy of which it is capable, the limita-
ton of the one-way traffic of the Bir-
mingham district must be overcome, and
return cargoes for the barges must be pro-
vded," continues. President Wood in his
recent address before the Kiwanis club.
'Fixed charges and overhead, work
while humanity sleeps, and if barges go
one way empty, they must charge double
for what they carry the other way.
birmingham is reproducing,
and not tonnage-consuming district. AS
heretofore said, it's outgoing tonnage is
nearly ten times it's incoming volume and
the only way to overcome this surplus of
one-way traffic is to reach out and supply,
through Birmingham and it's water terrni-
nails, the needs of contiguous territory.
'It is estimated that the Coca-Cola
company of Atlanta uses as much sugar
as the whole city of Birmingham, and
there is no reason why that sugar, as we'll
/ as all the rest used by the city of. Atlanta,
should not come and be handled by the
river barges through the Birmingham ter
minal
'fIndeed nothing is more certain than
that it will be so handled once it is demon
strated to the Atlanta people that q saw
ing of many thousands Of dollars yearly
can be effected through the use of the
Warrior river barges.
Gas reflex action, Birmingham will
profit on both incoming and outgoing
commodities by the lower rates, made
possible by the larger tonnage handled,
once the traffic is established
What is true of Atlanta is also true of
Chattanooga, Huntsville, Decatur, and all
the cities and towns to the north and east
of Birmingham, and it is the obligation of
the business men of Birmingham and JEFF
ferson county, and their duty to awaken
the people of these surrounding regions
to the value of the facility offered; there
by making sure Of the continuity of the
river service, in accordance with sound
economic laws.
''The picture lis not overdrawn, and it
behooves the people of Alabama and sur
rounding territory to wake up and get
busy in demanding what the New York
canals and other waterways already
have, but what Alabama will never get
unless well-directed> and vigorous efforts
are instituted quickly to compel official
action.

Where the Rcsponsibility Lies

THE solicitude of Senator Boies Penrose
and the Penrose-ridden Republicans Of
the United States Senate concerning "hasty
action" the army and navy appropriations
bills will fool nobody. These men flibustered
successfully against the passage OF these
bills for no reason on earth save their de-
termination to force President Wilson to call
extra session of Congress. Their pro-
fessed reasons are as hypocritical their
proclaimed anxiety over the fate of the ma
tfon if an extra session is not called.
These Senators expressed great indignation
over the fact that the rmy and navy bills
should have been held back in committee SO
long before being reported out, and insisted
that 1t outrageous that the administra-
tion should expect these measures to be acted
on the last two days Of the session 1t was
monstrous proposition, they asserted, that
more time was not allowed for debating these
measures AS TO all this indignation, only
a few obse rvations need be made.
In the first place it was essential that the
administration, before having the army bill
reported out in final form, should have some
idea of the magnitude Of the military force
that would be necessary during the next fiscal
year to meet in addition to the ordinary
Quirements for the peace time defenses OF
this country and its island possessions the
contribution required of us for the policing
of Germany during the enforcement of the
peace terms. AS the Paris
ference had deliberated upon this question
the administration advised Congress of it's
wish for volunteer establishment of SOS 900
enlisted men.
In the second place, reference back to 1911
shows that the naval bill was reported out
of committee on March 1 and passed March
3, aud in 1913 it was reported out Feb
ruary % and passed the same day And
study back through the years Of Republican
control of Congress will show the same speed
time and again on important appropriation
bills.
In the third place, it is a notorious fact
that during the final week the Republicans
filibustered at every turn. The fact that
the Republican caucus did not have the nerve
openly to proclaim ilbuster, did not alter
the Willingness Of individual Senators like
land; Sherman, of Illinois, and Jones, of
Washington, to obey the wish OF Penrose for
f1lbusterng tactics. II there ever was a
revolving spectacle staged in the Senate in
a time of seriousness, 1t was that of La
Toilette occupying hours Of time discuss
ing the origin and history Of the rules Of
parliamentary bodies concerning applause
from the galleries. When it comes to obey
ing Penrose, this self-proclaimad progress
sive Republican" can be as tractable as most
Of his colleagues
The public is by no means ignorant
Of the responsibility of the Republicans for
defeating these measures as the Republican
leaders appear to think.
