State Fair Gates
 Swing Open on Monday

-HE State Fair opens Monday.
 A week fraught with much pleasure and profit to those who avail themselves of the opportunity is at hand.
 None will enjoy the State Fair more than city people. During the remainder of the year they are sur feited on inside entertainment. They have the picture shows and the thea tres every day and night in the year. The bright lights burn for them every evening. Their feet tread brick and concrete.
 It is fine change to go out to the State Fair grounds and press terra firma. It is fine to see the pure-bred cattle, hogs and sheep, the grains and the fruits, the forage and dairy prod ucts.
 In the end, we live off nature. We should once in while renew our ac- quaintance with nature to keep our minds and our hearts straight.
 There is lots of fun in the enter tainment at the State Fair. It is in the open. It is informal. It is a re. lief from the set schedule of city ways of forcing pleasure. Out there under the sky's canopy there is spontaneity that set programmes do not produce.
 And you can learn something at the State Fair. We should not de- spise what our neighbor is doing. We know not when we will need that knowledge in our own business. We are not well-rounded mentally or morally unless we are acquainted with the efforts of other men.
 Finally we will meet people out there. We will run across those whom we have not seen in years. That is the greatest of all pleasures.
 Go to the State Fair this week. Rub shoulders with the other fellow. Swap yarns. Frolic little bit. You will be better off for doing so.

Y x Power of Bolsheviki Is Said to Be Waning

WWHlLt it is always wise to take
 wv news from Russia with a grain of salt, recent dispatches pub lished in the London newspapers in dicate that the power of bolshevism is crumbling. Demoralized and de- 3aAtad. bolshevik troops are showing N 1unruly symptoms which preceded tk downfall of Kerensky's govern melAx Red commissars are said to have been murdered when the bolshe- wiki evacuated Lida, factory workers have struck in Petrograd because of the food shortage and consternation reigns in Moscow.
 These stories may be tinged with the optimism of correspondents and observers who share the worldwide desire to see Russia emerge from her hideous reign of terror. Countless sordid tragedies have been enacted ] behind the curtain of bolshevism which has cut her off from civiliza- tion. Historians will be hard at work for the next hundred years unfolding the drama of her sacrifice, mon strous tragedy which was started with German connivance by the unspeaka- ! ble Trotzky and other conspirators 1. of that stnpe.

overthrow the parasites who have sapped her strength, but there must be a limit to human endurance. The stolid peasant, the hope of Russia, must realize sooner or later what bol- shevism has done for his country and cast it out forever.

America to Recognize N
 the Mexican Government

n DISPATCH from Washington AA says President Wilson will rec ognize the existing government in Mexico. Great Britain will follow suit. Since France, Italy and Japan have not withheld recognition, &C., ton by America and Great Britain will restore Mexico to the footing she held internationally before the series of revolutions which began with the resignation of Porfirio Diaz.
 There has been little Mexican news in the papers lately, which may be regarded as a favorable indication that the country is quiet and is real ly getting back to a semblance of orderly government. The redoubta- ble Villa is apparently resigned to the life of a country gentleman. Lesser bandits are no longer active and while it was rumored that the election of Obregon to the presidency was not strictly in accordance with American ideas on the subject, no serious out break has occurred. By this time De la Huerta has probably gotten rid of his troublesome appendix and will soon be able to give his assistance to the new head of the government.
 If Mexico continues stable Presi- dent Wilson's policy will be vindi- ,ated. He turned deaf ear to the jingoes and the results seem to-have justified the course he adopted. It was obviously the better plan to let Mexico work out her own destiny, if she could. American interference would have caused endless friction and
 
 would have created lasting enmity. A government set ur bv Mexicans without outside compulsion will make of Mexico a far better neighber than she would have been, if America had interfered when the situation .med hopeless.
 It is reported that C-s. q will appoint an international claim con- mission to adjust all claims held by foreign nations against Mexico and will also negotiate with American bankers for loan of 0,000, ,000. He seems to have the right idea about setting his house ill order.

And yet this business man has shown great spirit of give and take and broad brain. He has em- ployed with him the best men ayailabls, And done his best to uphold everything to the most perfect interests of the com muuity and of the state. Newspapers may differ on men and measures, but fl they honestly differ, it is to the best in terest of the public and the taxpayers,
 And now in conclusion, as the several good pastors who occasionally wri4e for The Age-Heraid would say. why not let us in Birmingham, get the Bessemex spirit? Pull together-get population-- get good roads. good streets-good every- thing. and be happy in the getting. . If we have to spend money in sstttns somewhere let us spend 1t.
 If it had not been for tAs Gsssgaa Pacific railroad from Atlauta here Rtr- mingham would never have been en tho map. Yet everybody abused Generai John B. Gordon for building it.
 If Milton H. Smith had not huf1ded branch lines for the Louisville and Nash vile railroad all over the district there would have been no mines and furnaces here. Yet Milton Smith was once abused like a pickpocket.
 Had not Milton Smith and Sam 6psn- cer not put up the cash money for a steel plant at Ensley that town today would have been farm.
 Sam Spencer was killed on his own railroad Milton Smith is an old mar in Kentucky today with a worthy suc- cessor in one Mapother. raised in his own school, and competent.
 It cannot be done now; but when time passes and Milton Smith shall have gone to the great beyond. he will not only have seat there among the great con structors and helpers of mankind upon earth, but he should have a monument in this Birmingham which should tower above all others.
 In the Holy spirit of sunday morn ing, let us all consider the railroad builders, and the road builders, and tue men who are doing something to make life worth living, and to mako it pos- sible for the man far out in the country to come to town and see the moving pic- ture show during the week, and go to the same playhouse and hear sermon worth the while on Sunday evening.
