lINED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE MESS AT | MONTGOMERY AND OTHER CURRENT MATTERS

will be forced into ths hands of a re- ceiver. It is indeed a serious situation.
 * < #
 am told by prominent attorney who has spent some time in Montgomery with our legislators that there has never been such trading and trafficking around the halls of the state capitol as during the past week.
 If half the rumors coming from Mont gomery are correct, things are in fear full mess. and the chances are that there will be very little intelligent, or just and fair legislation.
 Governor Kilby is apparently attempting to be both legislator and executive; and many of the best men in both the house and the senate are resenting his persis- tent interference in legislation. They think 1t is his province to sign or veto bills passed by the twe houses of the general assembly. but they resent his attempts to dominate the two houses and dictate to the individual legislators Many Alabama officials resented the action of President Wilson in attempt ing to advise the Alabama senate on tho suffrage question. They characterized it as attempted executive dsctation from the White House. Now they are resent ing the attempted dictation of GoverncrtI Kilby; and it looks very much like the present administration of Afabams's af- fairs, both executive and legislative, ts to be failure and to leave sttngs and disconteut throughout the state.
 IL is indeed to be hoped that tho rap- resentatives of the people down at Mont- gornery win come to their senses before the constitutional Emit for legisiatson shall have expired
 A pretty mess t is sA the st4te capitol at tho present time.

Thrift Campaign and Cost of Living

wv IrHoUr intensive methods the
 w War Savings Stamp and Thrift campaign proceeds steadily and with substantial results. Most of the states are we'll organized, and in Ala bama nearly every county has an or ganization that is achieving some thing worth while.
 Small savings invested in War Stamps amount to a'large volume in the course of the year. This benefits not only the government, but teaches the lesson of thrift, which is of far reaching benefit to the individual and the community.
 In order to carry the thrift habit to it's logical conclusion some degree of self-denial is necessary, and self denial should help materially to bring down the cost of living
 1 Waste has been peculiar to America. When this country was forced into the war earnest and systematic efforts were made by the administration to induce the people to practice economy. Conservation was slogan and the avoidance of waste was preached until it became effective in many house holds and public eating places, and on a large scale among the tillers of the soil. It was estimated that America $ food waste bill alone amounted to seventy million dollars year. With the war over the waste avoidance rule has been relaxed to some extent; but such should not be the case. l Savings and self-denial should be lpracticed now as much as ever. It must be the rule until the high cost of living comes down so that a dol
 lars purchasing power becomes far
 greater than it is today.
 The good work of the War Savings
 Stamp and Thrift clubs must be en- ,couraged and kept up to high pitch of enthusiasm.

CONQUEST

From Scribners.
 Up. for the march has begun! Forward and onward the press. Swift move the hurrying ranks. Emerald file after file,
 Grasses and reeds of the marsh. Grasses of meadow and hill, Glover and buttercup blooms Lied by the dominant wind. Many-voiced the acclaim From myriad. murmuring leaves Of poplar and maple astir. Loud is the drum of the bee: Strong is the music and sweet Pouring from jubilant throats Of sparrow and glad bob link. Bright are tAe pennons that way Far in the radiant air,
 Gold of the brave fleur- lis Set in long banners of green. On to. the conquest we move, An irresistible host,
 Thrilled by single desire The kingdom of beauty is won!

SNOW MAY LAY
ON PAVEMENTS
BUT "a HOURS
Property Owners to Be Fined
One Dollar For Failure to
Clean Sidewalks

The police department will en-
force the ordinance which makes the
failure of a property owner to clean
the snow off his sidewalk within
twenty-four hours after the cessa-
ton of snow fall, punishable with
a 81 fine. and 81 additional for each
day thereafter that the walk is not
cleared.
Chief Wetzel declared that twen-
ty-four hours is sufficient time to
remove the snow. He is in favor of
an even more drastic fine, he said.
and will enforce the present ordi-
nance.
The health bureaus regulation
forbidding the throwing of salt on
icy and snow-covered sidewalks also
will be stringently enforced. 1t is
said that diphtheria, typhoid and
influenza germs lurk in the salt and
aid in the spread of those diseases
when spread broadcast.
The chief declared that the pres
ent sidewalk ordinance regulating
the clearing away of snow accumu-
lations, is shaky with old age, and
sadly out of place. He declared a
new ordinance should be enacted
to take its place.
The ordinance was signed by
Mayor Boas. way back in 1879. and
has never been replaced with mod
ern legislation. 1t declares that for
failure to clean their sidewalks with
in twenty-four hours after snow
fall. property owners shall be fined
zone dollar for each lot not exceed
ing twenty-siX feet and three inch
es, for each day snow remains on the
pavement"
The chief declared that the great
est trouble is to get property own
ers of vacant lots, especially owners
who reside outside the city and own
property here, TO take proper steps
TO keep their walks clean. Ade-
quate measures will be taken against
such property owners. he said.
