HON"

The season is approaching when
any scamp running for office be-
comes Honorable" by authority OF
the campaign committee. The desig-
nation Hon." freely handed around
in politics at election time, becomes

nocently enough.
The promiscuous use Of Honor
able" as a trade name in politics is
a. label on an adjective descriptive
OF what's best in good character. It's
about time its use were dispensed
with and much credit would accrue
to the candidate for congress who
would write to the local campaign
committee a letter something like
this:
Gentlemen: 1t has come to my
attention that in campaign literature
and posters you are referring to me
as Honorable
Il am quite wiling to admit that !
am honorable-no man ought to be
less. But am no more honorable
than most OF my fellow citizens. tho
none of them goes about the country
with a placard informing the public
that he Ia hopprahlnn
A mans honor-even a candidates
should be taken for granted, until
it is proven he hasn't any. It Is es
pecially unseemly that a candidate
should be designated as Honorable
before he is elected, since some have
been known, after election, to betray
their constituencies by violating their
pledges. This, Of course, is not at all
honorable.
A falcons flight has been estimated
to be $50 miles an hour.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The state of Iowa owes much to
Mr.. Wilson, for his conspicuous
leadership In agriculture for so many
years gave Iowa the kind of pub
Lefty that has the highest value
says the Davenport Times. 1T was
his ambition to make the depart
nent of service to the farmers OF
the nation and the later develop
ments of the service have been
largely along the lines that he
mapped out"
Gov. Cox stands by the Wilson
principles and administration. Hasn't
President Wilson redeemed his 1912
pledges by reducing the cost of
heefsteak from Is to As cents a
pound and the cost OF sugar from SIS
to $50 per sack. Coal, too, that used
to cost the consumer from 81 to IS
per ton, can now be had for the mere
stipend of from SIS to SIS. Gov. Cox,
we know, will do just as we'll as
Wilson has In this respect" predicts
the Webster, City Freeman Journal.

BABY BALLADS.

BABY BALLADS.
There's nothing that I'd take for
sleep;
i love to drift in slumber deep
To rosy lands where little boys
Play all the day with golden toys;
And everywhere are candy shops,
All loaded up with lolly-pops, /
And purple roads and silver trees
Where you may do just as you
please. ~
When mother lays away my bib
And tucks me tightly in my crib,
You'd think that i might close my
eyes
And sail in peace to cloudy skies;
But every other night, it seems,
They take me from my sweetest
dreams
To show visitor or two
The clever things that can do.
And, materially. I'm very cross;
l kick my feet, 1 roll and toss.
shout in anger and / cry.
l do not care how hard they try
To make me laugh or even grin:
will not-no. won't-give in!
Folks must not keep us going nights,
We babies must protect our rights.
When Mr.. Sun is shining bright
Well romp around with all our
might,
Well do our stunts, we'll laugh and
play
But we demand an eight hour day.

STUDENT GoYERNMENr

At meeting of the entire student body of the high school Friday after noon It was definitely decided to es tapilsh the student government in the school The movement has been dis cussed Tor some time, and the students voted unanimously for the establish. ment Of self government. It was also decided that each division should have two representatives in the council which shali govern the affairs of the pupils.
 This was contested at the last gath ering of the students for discussion of self government ,on the ground that some semesters had three divisions some two divisions and others only one and 1t va argued that each se- mester should have the same number of representatives,. It was decided that each division of semester should be represented, as their representative would know the needs of that specific group of pupils. Prof C. C. Moselev has been interested in establishing this method of dealing with pupils and thinks that it will make for develop- ment of citizenship and honor among the pupils.

FAILED TO COMPLETE

FIRE PREVENTION
 SUBJECT OF TALK
Expert on Conservation Heard By Underwriters
 Here Yesterday

The Birmingham fire insurance agents were out in numbers to heaE the address of 1T Albert Fleming, superintendent Of the conservation department of the Fire Underwriters of the United States, which was delivered at a luncheon given in his -honor at the Southern Club by the eX- change yesterday afternoon.
 Herbert Levy acted as toastmaster and introduced MT. Fleming as one of the best-informed men in the country on the subject of fire prevention, giving him high praise for his constructive work while fire marshal of the state of Ohio.
 T was attracted to the work of arous~ ing the people to the need of better laws and a clearer understanding of the pre- ventabIe loss both of life and property by an experience which forever fastened itself upon my mind It was the burning of a schoolhouse in which three teachers and 17S children lost their lives. The sight O. their charred bodies burned itself into my very soul
 There needs to be an awakening or public opinion on the criminahty of per- hitting such holocasts. for in spite of the agitation which has been going on for years, every little while we pick up paper to find that scores of lives have been sacrificed on account of faultily constructed buildings, carelessness in the disposition of trash and a total disre- gard on the part of smokers in throwing aside lighted cigars and cigarettes
 Take the case of a chauffeur who on a misty night runs down a pedestrian. If caught he is sure to be punished, if it is found that he was negligent in driving the car, being fined or even imprisoned But on the other hand, scores of fires ara started by the careless dropping of a lighted match, a lighted cigar or a burn ing cigarette, and although it IS estab- lished that the fire originated from such reckless disregard of life and property no one ever thinks of making an effort to apprehend and punish the offender
 "The property loss, which runs up into fabulous figures, is enough to cause a widespread interest in fire prevention as each year more money goes up in smoke than it cost to build the Panama canal to run the public schools from the gram mar grades on through the colleges or to operate the postoffice department. But, as bad as this is, few know that in the year 1919 in the United States 15,2l9 peo- pele were burned to death.
 These are some of the concrete reasons why am giving my time to the work in which I am engaged. It's my job to try and get each city interested in the matter to the extent that an influential committee of its leading citizens take the matter seriously enough to undertake to educate the public in fire prevention.
 'Tn ideal committee is one made up of representative insurance business and professional men picked from the various active organization in cooperation with the superintendent of the public schools

BESSEMER
AThe Bessemer manager of circulation Moore Pbon,

Bessemer, February 6-(Special) )-Gam- Bling in Bessemer was deplored in the grand jury report, which was rendered Friday afternoon. after having been in session since Monday morning. Pool rooms were dubbed public menace and nuisance in the report. and much gambling is carried on and permitted there according to the investigations or the grand jury. The report follows:
 We have docketed ill cases. found T true bills, SS no. bills, continued cases and examined 2S witnesses. We have directed special attention to that portion of charges relating to gambling in this city. and while we find same exists are pleased to report no public gambling houses or places. but find that same IS done in poolrooms and in places of reg ular business. In many cases have found that young men are indulging in this vice have found bills against them where the evidence warrants it. and we hope that they will be severely punished where con vjcted.
 We find that poolrooms are public
  menace and nuisance. that much gambling is carried on and permitted there We request and urge that officers of the law. both sheriff and police departments. keep boys out of such places and that arrests be made of proprietors where gambling is discovered therein. That they be required to close at II o'clock. We deplore the number of homicides, in many cases wholly unjustihable, and should receive a severe penalty. We fel that more attention should be given to the apprehension of murderers and the procurement of testimony against them.
 We are gratifed that our Investigation has shown an enforcement of prohibit tion laws. While we find that liquor is being illegally made and disposed of, we also find that it is difficult for violators to evade the law"
