THE HORSE AND POETRY

From the Providence Journal.
General Pershing, at the head of the
splendid parade which was in his honor
and witnessed by millions Of New York
ers, rode on horseback. The automobile
may be displacing the equine for a great
many uses and purposes, but it is re-
specially submitted that thee military
hero was much more commanding and
attractive figure on horseback than he
would have been if riding in the finest
manufacturer could have provided

There are times when mechanical
power does not meet all the requirements
Of situation, however efficient it may
be from the engineers point of 'view. An
automobile would not have been just
the thing for the leader of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces in the great
parade, for it would not have appealed
to the imagination. Life inspires senti-
ment; how much good poetry has been
written about the performance of a six
cylinder gasoline motor? The horse has
been the theme of many fine poems, and
the ombination of horse and man never
fails to arouse poetic feeling. Would

the general had covered the 20 miles from
Winchester town on a popping motor
cycle instead of on "a Steed as black as

Greatest of War Heroes
Pays Visit To Birmingham

a CLOSE view of Sergeant AL
SS vim C. York reveals those
qualities which enabled him to
rise to an emergency in battle and
win immortality. There is much to
admire in the mountain folk of the
south, the stock from which Sergeant
York sprang. He seems to possess
most of the traits which dignity his
people and make them successful
when they leave the mountains to en-
gage in more pretentious work than
hunting and filling a patch of rocky
soil.
Piety, natural intelligence, a strong
sense of duty and modesty are quail
tiles that make good citizens. These
are characteristics of the south's
mountaineers. Their piety may not
ALWAYS be of the obtrusive kind, ex-
cept when there is a revival going on,
but their native shrewdness never
fails them and many a mountaineer
who can neither read nor write is
more than match for a sophisticated
L city dweller in a battle of wits.
The unassuming man who was the
honored guest of Birmingham yester-
day, accompanied by his wife, has
lresolutely declined to capitalize his
fame, but having caught a vision
abroad he is ambitious to lift up his
people, to give them the advantages
of an education. The lecture tour
which Sergeant York is now making
to raise funds for establishing school
in the Tennessee mountains is most
laudable undertaking and it will be
surprising if he fails to realize his
ambition.

From the Buffalo Commercial.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
nm HE American Federation of Labor
throws down the gauntlet to the
United States steel corporation
and challenged it to mortal economic
combat.-Because Judge Gary, chairman
of the company's board of directors, re-
fused to discuss conditions affecting the
welfare of the corporations employees
with representatives of alien labor or
CARNATIONS, the latter have announced
their intention of calling out all work
men affiliated with their unions.
The issue is clear and cannot be cam
ouflaged by any cloud of dust such az
the international union heads have at
tempted to raise in their statement OF
grievances. If there are any "intolera-
BILE and brutal conditions under which
the steel company's employees are COM
PEELED to work." as they state, the exc
cutive heads of the company have al
ways shown a willingness to remedy
them.
Frankly, we do not believe that the
men are subject to such wretched contli-
lions as are complained of. On the
contrary, the evidence is overwhelming
that the men were never paid higher
wages, that they never worked under
more favorable conditions and that
their welfare was never more care
fully and systematically looked after.
But if the employees are not treated as
they should be the remedy does not lie
in permitting an outside labor organiza
ton to intervene and dictate what the
company shall do under penalty of clos,
ing up the steel plants of the country
and impose a cruel and unmerited pun
ishment upon labor and industry.
The issue is the closed or open shop,
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-09-18

lion. That would pay for an imposing
structure; but the decorations, includ-
ing battle scenes and statues of our
heroes, to say nothing of the states
archieves that would be housed in the
building, would cost several hundred
thousand dollars more.
With the resumption of the cam
paign there should be an intensive
drive from the state.
Alabama's population is something
like two millions five hundred thou
san. Every man, woman and child
should make a contribution, and a
mite from each would bring the total
up to the amount required. Many
Alabamians will give literally, but no
citizen should be doing his duty who
did not give something.
Tennessee is erecting memorial
in Nashville to cost two million dol
lars. But it is doing it by the issuance
of bonds. Alabama's is the better way.
Our funds will be raised by free-will
offerings. That is the only way that
the people can express their senti-
ment and their individual feelings
Everyone should have part in the
work.
The plan is easy and several hun
bred thousand dollars should be raised
within a few days after the next drive
is inaugurated.

IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY

the right of the employer to buy his
labor in free labor market, the right
of the workman to sell his labor in any
market he selects. 1t is fight that
sorry types of employers, and among
them we include newspaper publishers
generally who put profit above principle
and expediency above honor, have mo-
conception of and never will have SO
long as they knuckle down to the de-
mands of boorish walking delegates and
obey the behests of insolent and AFRO
giant agitators. Thank God that Judge
Gary is not one of these. Had he been
the steel industry would today be un-
der the domination of men aiming at
nothing less than the establishment OF
an economic system that is bolshevik in
principle and utterly destructive of our
democratic philosophy of government.
The strike has been called for Sep
TENDER 2. Efforts to avert it have thus
far proved futile and future attempts
to stave it off will doubtless be unavail-
ing, inasmuch as the steel corporation
will not surrender it's economic in
dependence and industrial freedom at
the behest of organized labor and in
as much as the labor leaders have de-
cided to stake all upon the throw of
the dice.
There is no question where the SYM
patty of the public lies This is politi-
cal fight for the supremacy of the
union The men as employees have made
public no grievance. They are among
the highest paid workmen in the coun-
try today. If any of them are unable
to meet living conditions it is due not
to inadequate pay but to something rad
ically wrong in their own standard of
living

The local postoffice has been noti-
fled by the Postmaster General that it
should get everything ready to make
a very accurate count OF the total
number of parcel post packages han
dlei between October / and IL, In or
der to determine the increase in busi-
ness over the same period last year.
This check will be made on both In
coming and outgoing packages.
Postmaster Smyer said. Il feel sure
tina. we will find an increase OF be-
tween 40 and so per cent. 1t Is mar
velous the way the parcel post bust
ness is growing. and the people are
beginning to realize that not only ca,
it be used to send a great variety of
things, but that it Is convenient, quick
and reasonable. 1t is very usual
sight nowadays to see an entire truck
load Of packages bought to the post
office bv the city merchants for ship
mem to various parts Of the country.
No other branch OF the department is
growing so rapidly, though there has
been large increase everywhere this
year. As a result we are becoming
more ard more handicapped for space
in which to handle the mails and it
will be great relief to all of US
here when the new federal building
is completed"

To Resume Alabama
Memorial Campaign

TN HE Alabama memorial campaign
= made good start few months
ago, and then Jagged.
A half million dollars was the
amount sought, but only about half
that sum was subscribed. Many Of
the members of the legislature were
active workers in the cause and while
the law-making body was in session
the memorial campaign was, as mat
ter of course, held in allegiance.
But State Director w. S. Stallings
says that Immediately upon the ad-
journment Of the legislature the
memorial campaign will be resumed
and win be continued until the five
hundred thousand-dollar goal is
reached.
Alabama should raise something
like a million dollars. A half million
would pay for a creditable building
