mate victory. Albert has the sirn- plicity of true greatness. He Is plous and modest, democratic in spite of his rank, and a ruler who made the tragedy of Belgium his own. Lincoln may have been a greater man in Nca- pacity-that is matter not to be threshed out here-but he did not excel the Belgian monarch in sacri- flee.
 Just as the eyes of the Belgian nation turned to Albert in their greatest national crisis, Lincoln weathered the storm of sectional strife in America and by his vision, his humanity and his great, sympa- thetic soul drew the American people together again, sanctifying their bond by his martyrdom.
 Under his skin there isn't much between the royal Albert and the plebeian Lincoln. There was genuine sincerity in the brief address delivered by the Belgian monarch at Lincoln's tomb, tribute of respect and admiration that came from his

TWO SIDES TO TT

From the Mobile Register.
 "Whoss fault Is it If illiteracy and ignorance made most of tho negroes approached easy victims of the inflam- matory misstetements? The last cen- sus showed more than one-fourth of tho Arkansas negroes unable to read or write, and that about four out Of nine negro children of school age were not being taught."-Nsw York Eve ming Post. It Is easy to ask questions of that sort implying that if the Aa- kansas negroes had been educated they would not have been led into hostili- ties with the whites. But we ask in turn whose fault is 1t that the inciters to violence are educated negroes in New York, who edit the sncendiary sheets and manufacture trouble be- tween the races? This matter of edu- cation has two tides to 1t.

F E '. Our Jewish Citizens We'll on Their Mettle

THE Young Mems Hebrew asso-
 o citation of Birmingham needs a large, modern club building and it will have it. This organization has moved along in quiet and modest way for several years. It has been a social and civic force in the com munity and the time has come when it must have an adequate home.
 The Jewish people in their drive for a hundred thousand dollars for the building fund are thoroughly united and thoroughly in earnest. They have made splendid start and will know no such word as fail. Their Gentle friends will be glad to assist in this important enterprise.
 Among the distinguishing traits of the Jews in this 'country are their ar dent Americanism. They are Ameri- cans to the core. They believe in good order and practice it. And the Young Mems Hebrew association is a center of influence and cultural uplift that cannot be overestimated.
 Every right-minded citizen will wish 
 the association Godspeed.

Alabama Memorial
 Campaign Revival

A IL drives for money during the A war were distinct achieve ments Men of large means gave literally and everybody gave some thing. With the ending of the war the giving spirit waned.
 But there are worthy causes in Ala bama of patriotic character today that have strong appeal and these must not be neglected. Notable among them is the memorial build ing to honor the brave soldiers who make the supreme sacrifice on the battle front in France for humanity and in defense of their country.
 The campaign for raising five hun- dred thousand dollars for the Ala bama memorial, inaugurated several months ago, was only partially sue cessful. About two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars were subscribed. Then the campaign lulled, but it will soon be revived.
 The balance needed must be raised. A large part of the funds should be collected by school children. From this source alone it is not too much to expect a hundred thousand dollars. Ard the people in general should con- tribute generally.
 While creditabe building can be erected in Montgomery for a half
 million dollars, we should raise fully |six hundred thousand dollars, for his- toric battle scenes must be painted by distinguished artists and statues of our heroes chiseled by high-class |sculptors.
 The memorial drive to complete the fund will soon be launched. If it is thoroughly organized it will be an Iovar-the-tOn SucceSS

LEPROSY CURED IN HAWAII

The oil is given to the patients in cap sule form, and administered once each week by inter-muscular injections. There are 80 patients receiving this treatment now and all are improving.
 At first there was some difficulty in persuading them to undergo the treat ment, but they are all enthusiastic over back for more after they have been paroled. The injections are practically painless Blood tests of patients who have been released have failed to reveal traces of the Ieprosy germ.
 The sores which are caused by lep- rosy heal as a result of the chaulmooga oil treatment, but leave large scars These scars, however, show so signs of the disease.
 In the opinion or physicians who have charge of the patients at the Kalihi hospital the success of the chaulmoogra oil treatment is due largely to the pro cess of refining discovered by Dr. Dean. The treatment has not been tried outside the Hawaiian islands. so far as is knwn, but comparative results show that it is more successful than anything which has been tried elsewhere.
 The work at the Kalihi hospital repre- sents close cooperation between the federal and territorial authorities. In 1904 mony was appropriated by Congress for the establishment of a federal inves- tigation station, and since that time federal physicians, as well as those ern- ployed by the territorial board of health, have been working with patients. At first only a few of the patients were selected for treatment, chiefly for scien- tific and eXperimental study in connec- tion with the laboratory. Gradually, however, the number selected was in creased, until finally the board of health handed over the entire professional treatment of patients in the Kalihi hos pital to the United States public health service.

Special Correspondence of the New
 York world)
 1I7oNoLULu--complete cures of lHl leprosy are being made at the 9 e Kaliri hospital, and within the last few months twenty cases have been paroled without a recurrence of the disease The treatment used is chaul- moogra oil, which has been known as cure for leprosy for almost half a cen- tury, but which has been separated into parts by Dr. Arthur L. Dean, professor of chemistry and president of the College of Hawaii, so that it can now be used much more easily and more effectively.
 Of 2s cases treated with the oil which Dr. Dean produced immediately after he had made his experiments, r showed marked improvement, three showed im- procement one showed slight improve ment and only three cases showed no improvement, having been under treat ment only three months or less. All the patients are receiving treatment now and in no instance has it been failure.
 Chaulmoogra oil, which is obtained from the seeds of the taraxtogenes kurzi, is thick fluid and hard to work with. pr. Harry T. Holman, formerly director of the leprosy investigation station here, became convinced that the oil was of great value in the treatment of the disease, in many cases effecting what apepared to be a complete cure, but to obtain results it was necessary to administer large doses for many months.
 Realizing the value of the treatment, pr. Holman decided that the part Of the oil which effected the cure could be separated so as to become more easily administered. He consulted with pr. Dean and the latter undertook the prom lem.
 The College of Hawaii now refines~ all the oil used at the Kalihi hospital, since that is the only institution which has the proper facilities for doing the work.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
rnrution of Living Cost

+-The high cost of living is becoIn- ing a most serious problem" said Post master F. R. smyer, land tho mer- chants tell us there is no relief In sight 80 far as clothing is concerned They say that clothing continues to advance and next year the prices will be still higher. In my opinion 1T the people would wear their last years clothes and buy only things that were absolutely necessary this would In way have a tendency to lower the prices. for only can relief be secured through reduced consumption. It seems that the higher the prices the larger the consumption, but this fact is prob ably due to the tremendous amount Of money in circulation at this time. Until We decide to wear our old clothes and buy only what we are forced to we can expect to continue to pay the ex- orbitant prices being paid at the pres ent time"

Bridgeport and Cleveland
 Have the Highest Rents

Nl[THILE statistics would indicate
 v that Birmingham is conspicu- ous among American cities where the cost of living scars, in one par ticular Cleveland has the unanviable distinction of charging the average family more rent than any other in dustrial city in the United States, with the exception of Bridgeport, Conn.
 Commenting on this unfavorable showing, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says, "The average Cleveland family pays in rent approximately SS more per year than families of the same class in Detroit; SPA more than in New York; s22 more than in Chicago and S44 more than in Philadelphia :"
 The contrast in rental charges be- tween Cleveland and the much larger cities of New York, Chicago and Philadelphia is surprising. It has been the popular belief for some time that rents in New York were higher than anywhere else in the country, yet we have the authority of the United States Department of Labor that Cleveland charges the average family SPA per annum more than New York.
 Obviously the housing problem is of vital importance to all industrial towns. Birmingham is apparently much better off in this respect than Cleveland, although the demand for houses is greater than the supply. An extensive building programme now under way will doubtless remedy the shortage.

TO SAVE TOBACCO

From the New York Times.
 Whether or not users of tobacco the country over have heard with alarm the reports about coming campaign by the w. c. T. U. for the imposition on it of g. constitutional prohibition, there seems to be no doubt that the growers, manufac- turers and dealers in it have been seri-> ously alarmed and that they are organ izing for defensive action. If they can help 1t, they will not suffer the cruel fate of the purveyors of alcoholic bev- erages, and they thing one way to help it is by taking action betimes.
 Probably it is, but the people for whom tobacco is means of making money, not a gentle joy and soother of strained nerves, will refrain. if they are wise or well advised, from making themselves too prominent in the movement they hone to start. It will be better for them if they trust more to the fact that against tobacco would-be prohibitionists have a case not hundredth part as good as they had against alcohol, Indeed while the possibility of injury from the excessive use of tobacco doubtless exists, there is the same possibility with regard to a thousand other things that nobody dreams-as yet-of abolishing, and the assumption Is fairly safe that the gen. eral population will take care that intem- perance and fanaticism do not impera a blessing that has innumerable appre- clators and only handful of deprecia- tors.
 To call tobacco demon" would be such an obvious and wild exaggera- t,on of it's real demerits that those who did 1t simply would be laughed at. That was not true when the same name was applied to alcohol. for nobody could deny that it had demoniac qualities, as well
 as others, and that they manifested Ithemseives in action not infrequently, | At its. worst tobacco does not sharpen the narricidal axe'' or start the orphan s tear But it is safest when least is said
 ana done about it, and it's mereenary
 friends. as distinguished from the vastly greater number with no pecuniary inter | est in it, will only excite needless an tasonism if they make themselves toe

Albert of the Belgians
 Visits Lircoln's Tomb

T INCOLN was a backwoodsman, a 2s splitter of rails, a product of the soil. He sprang from a humble environment and all his life retained traces of his homely origin. Even in his sublimest moments he was still a man of the people. King Albert of Belgium traces his ancestry back through the centuriss. He comes from a line of kings and is the great est ruler who ever sat on the throne of Belgium. Yet there is much in common between Albert, king of Bel gium, and Abraham Lincoln, Presi- dent of the United States. One was born to the purple and proved him. self worthy of the honors which came to him merely by accident of birth and Lincoln raised himself from pow erty and ignorance to the highest of

Growth of Auro Business

q have seen the automobile busi- ness grow by leaps and bounds since came to Birmingham" said Ted Brownell. Time was when only few cars were sold here and the dealers oc- cupied small homes. but now we not only have great districts given over to the trade but in every part <or the town places are being occupied either as depots for cars or for service sta tions or for automobile accessories. Now nearly every make is represented here and there are newcomers almost daily trying to find storerooms. But in spite of this it's a great game and yet ir it's infancy. Just wait until the states avail themselves of the govern ment's help. along with what they have voted in the way of bonds and good roads, and then everyone will want to own a car; and the use of trucks has just been begun"

Railroad Campaign
 Against Accidents

1H HE United States railroad ad-
 G ministration, southern region, has issued a circular from which these facts are gleamed:
 "Two million railroad employees throughout the United States entered Saturday midnight upon an intensi- fled campaign against accidents-the national railroad accident prevention drive. For two weeks, ending at mid night Friday, October 31, caution and care will fight for a record clear of injuries and fatalities, which might have been avoided, on every railroad under government control.
 .Definite figures on results of the first twenty-four hours of the cam paign probably will not be available for several days. Men and women, officers and employees, on the road, in shops, roundhouses, stations and offices along some 231, ,00o miles of railroad in every part of the country are involved, so time will be required to assemble and compile the daily re- ports.
 The purpose of the drive Is t
