Chicago's Wet Vote
 And the Consequences

~ ORN advanced more than seven W cents bushel on the Chicago grain exchange yesterday, while rye and barley took an upward spurt as direct result of the municipal election in the Illinois city. Chicago had voted overwhelmingly against prohibition and the grain traders interpreted this to mean that liquor was to have an- other day in court, thereby adding greatly to the demand for the grain from which it is made.
 Several very interesting features are noticeable in the Chicago election results. William Hale Thompson again becomes minority mayor in spite of the bitter attacks made upon his patriotism.
 Women took part in the voting and as in past elections voted the same as the men on the various issues. In Illinois the votes of women and men are kept separate so that when counted analysis can be made of the returns. Figures received in Birming- ham show that if the women alone had been voting they would have elected Thompson and if they alone had been settling the liquor question they would have settled it "wet." The returns showed these figures: Men Women Total Dry ............... 67,7o7 76,s25 144,os2 Wet ,........ 2e6,529 124,731 3sl, ,260 While Chicago's vote on the liquor question is worthy of study and con- sideration, it is not improbable that the people of that city have put un- necessary emphasis upon the outcome. Chicago is sometimes troubled with the same malady from which New
 York suffers chronically-that is in imagining that "the hum of the burg lis the murmur of the world" But | it must be borne in mind that it is i not the cities which have been
 pioneers in prohibition. The senti-
 ment comes from somewhere else and
 have been convinced of it's advantages only after the policy had been forced
 upon them.
 Consequently the rest of the nation
 will not be too greatly impressed by
 what Chicago or New York may say
 on the subject. Indeed their views
 are fairly well known beforehand.
 Birmingham ten or twelve years ago
 was acting just as New York and
 Chicago are acting today. Birming-
 ham dreaded that watery torrent. But
 after the plunge Birmingham found
 the water was fine.

Not Information Bureau

"Many people call the office daily"
 said w. l.. Brannon of the bureau of
 Identification, seeking information.
 They seem to,have the bureau of identi-
 fication and the bureau of information mixed Not only do we receive calls from people who are seeking information but only yesterday, at least dozen persons appeared at the office who had evidently gotten the places mixed up. I don't know whether this is the case with the bureau of information or not but it certainly is the case here. The bureau of identi- fication is where efforts are made to identify criminals. The bureau of in formation is now located at Second ave-
 nue and Twentieth street, where people may ask questions pertaining to employ ment and questions about the 9ity.

 M1{ v HO is responsible for the mys- WW tery that enshrouds Dark
 est Mexico?" What are the
 influences working with the Carranza
 government to keep the people of the United States in ignorance of the do- ings next door? Conditions in the
 Balkans. in Syria, in Armenia and in
 far-off Persia are discussed freely in our newspapers and our people are im- portuned to send millions for the ai- deviation of famine in the near east,
 while our neighbors in Mexico die by the thousands from starvation and pestilence, and we do not even inquire how they are.
 A committee of the United States Senate is Investigating the bolshevists of Russia and Siberia. but nobody knows or cares what the bolshevists are doing in Mexico; yet one of the newspapers of Mexico City recently printed map showing in black the areas where bolshevism is supreme, and the sinister shadow fell, among
 
 portion of northern Sonora. adjoining our own borders, and over the whole of Yucatan, from whence comes the sisal 1 fiber, so important to our wheat grow CTS.
 Why this suppression of the truth about Mexico? Why was New York paper warned last year by Washing | ton to desist from publishing the tenn perate and obviously honest revelations of conditions in the land of the dons furnished by special correspondent on the ground? Why was the Ameri- when it attempted to feed the starv- ing thousands of Chihuahua? Why was Leslie's correspondent refused a passport by our state department a | few weeks ago, when he asked to be allowed to visit Mexico to report upon | the internal conditions which President Carranza has alleged are so improved 1 that the resumption of business rela- I tions on a normal basis is possible? Why was the writer of this article warned by an official of the Pan- Amer 1 ican union, two months ago, to keep away from Mexico, because it was highly dangerous to travel in that country. and because there were no trade possibilities to write about any way?
 i It is easy to understand that the Carrs nza government does not want ] the light turned on-but why is Wash l inston. in these days of regulation of i everything and everybody's affairs but our owa so determined nat the facts about Mexico shall not Le revealed? l It is more difficult today to form fair estimate of conditions in Mexico
 than of any other country on earth, not excepting Russia. Statements of ! the most conflicting nature come from official and semi official sources. In
 an interview given wide publicity in 1 the United States, President Carranza 1 stated that the finances of his sosesn- i meut were improving to such an eN>en, | that the payment of interest on the ra- t!onal debt would, soon. be resumed

the "new era" is ever realized the home will become back number. AL though household slavery" is a term that arouses the militant feminists and puts them on their mettle, in America, by a conservative estimate, 80 per cent of the women who are home builders and still cling to the old fashioned idea that it is the sphere of wives and mothers, do not work as hard as women who are employed in offices and factories. If there is any form of drudgery worse for women than factory labor, it has not been found, even when they work under the best conditions.

Mr.. HundIer on Creatore


 No announcement has been made III Recent months which has pleased me more than that of the Creatore Grand Opera company engagement which VIII begin at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow evening, said Mrs. oscar R. Hundley' state president of the Alabama Fedora tion of Music clubs.
 Not only do I regard Creatore as great musician, even though he is ec- centric, but regard the selection of the repertoire to be presented here as un- usually fine. I am glad that II Trova- tore,'' which was originally announced for the Saturday matinee, has been changed to Carmen for I believe Car men will be enjoyed more on account of the sparkling, bright music. nope that all the musicians in Birmingham will attend the three performances of the opera here and that the patronage ac- corded the Creatore Grand Opera com pany will be an indication of how much the people of Birmingham want an en- tire week of opera as an annual event.
