LONDON PAPERS DO
 NOT THINK HARDING
 ISANY TOO STRONG
By Associated Press

London, June 14.-The London evening papers editorials on the republican nom ination are devoted largely to speculation and what effect that would have on American foreign policy. Both the Globe and Westminster Gazette are of the opinion that Senator Harding's election is by no means assured if the democrats are able to find strong candidate.
 The Globe thinks a republican defeat is not impossible if such man as Will liam G. McAdoo or John w. Davis were nominated.
 The Westminster Gazette declares that Great Britain must preserve neutrality in d presidential conflict, but cannot disguise it's interest. It Is doubtful, in the opinion of the Gazette, if the No vember election can settle the question whether the United States will pursue a purely American policy ortake hand in international politics.
 Had President Wilson been avail able, says the paper, "he might have boldly carried his banner into the fight and rallied the majority to him by the lofty appeals he knows well how to make. But in his default 1t is unlikely that any democratic nominee will do this or get the sanction of the demo- cratic party for a pure League of Na- tions doctrine.
 "On the other hand, the republican party does not entirely close the door on American participation in world poli- tics and even seems to favor some sort of extension of arbitral methods in world affairs. The choice of such a

CANADIAN OPINIONS

Montreal June 14.-Canadian papers today devoted considerable space to com ment on the nomination of Senator Hard ing for President of the United States and in general this comment favored his candidacy.
 "Ir Harding has a good reputation. is not an extremist, has shown business enterprise and Is thought to have quail
 ties that will commend him to the voters" said the Montreal Gazette.
 The Toronto Mail and Empire (con-
 servative) said:
 Senator Harding has been chosen for no other reason than that those respon- .ible for his choice believe he will win, because the party will unite behind him, Under Harding the people ofcthe United States may expect the sort of govern ! ment they received under Mckinley, and which they have not received since" The Toronto Globe QiberaD recognizes
 Harding as a "second choice" and says:
 Public sentiment echoed in the chorus
 for Hoover from the gallery, but the
 old guard is always proof against popu- lar impulses Hoover is not of the pro-
 fessional type of politician, and the old guard prefers a man who Is safe from
 it's own point of view. Harding has no
 black marks on his public record and he illustrates in his own career as a self made man, the qualities which appeal to the bulk of his countrymen." The Toronto Star comments on the large sums of money spent on behalf of men defeated and says: "Yet Harding is perhaps as sound a candidate as could have been chosen"
 The Manitoba Free Press says: Senator Hardings candidacy is not | likely to make much appeal to the rest | less and unattached voters In the United States and the democrats who have the l tactical advantage of the last word in l making platforms and picking a candi- | date may find in McAdoo or another. a candidate that may appeal to these ele- l ments."

wish of the people. but the condition is not of their creation. The authority to create indebtedness against county and to expend public funds is a respon- sible one and should be 1ealously guarded and strictly construed. A judicial deci- sion as to the powers of government af- fects not only the people of one county, but the entire state, and should not be for a day Or a year, or even genera ton, but for all time; hence courts should be very reluctant to set prece- dents that might under other circum- stances or at ether times lead to disas- trous results.

JUDGE GREENE's OPINION

Judge Greene, in his opinion hold ing the payment of commission as H. legal, says in part:
 Apart from the question Of the payment of commission for the sale of bonds, and thereby netting less than thir par value, we very much doubt the power of the board to bind the county for the services of an agent in the sale of the bonds. This would De true whether tbe warrant for which payment is sought was payable out of the general fund or the road. and bridge fund.
 While the allegations of the petition do not expressly state that fact, the copy of the warrant for which payment is sought shows that it Is payable out of the road and bridge fund. This fund arises from special taxes and from the sale of bonds, and of course the s5OO, 900 from the sale of the bonds has, in compliance with law, been placed in that fund The monies in that fund cannot be paid out except for the pur- poses for which this fund was created. and certainly 1t cannot be contended that payment of agents commissions is any part of the construction or main-

 he stated that the bonds bear per cent interest, which Is fixed by law, anu
 that, according to Section TO or ths
 code of 1907 of Alabama, bonds cannot
 be sold for less than par. Paying lV
 per cent commission on the sale of the
 bonds would be equivalent to selling them
 at 90 per cent of their par value, anu
 hence illegal. The warrant, he nam

 of the board of revenue, A,2OOOOO Wortn

 ENLARGE PLAN FOR
 GIRLS HOME HERE
Apartment House Adjoining Walker Home Purchased, Doubling Proposed Ac-
 cOmmOdatiOns

\ Hearty cooperation and backing in their plans for open- ing a home for girls in Birming- ham have enabled the city mis- sion board of the Methodist churches to enlarge the plans for the home so that nearly twice as many girls will be ac- commodated.
 The first. plans of the board was to purchase the Walker home on Eighth avenue and Eighteenth street, to pay for which they were to conduct cam paign for $75,000 in the various Meth odist churches in the city.
 By remodeling the building it was hoped that forty girls could be given real Christian homes. at prices in keeping with the modest wages most of them are receiving,
 Several large donations from inter este6 persons have enabled the board to purchase also an apartment house in the rear of the Walker home. These houses will be open soon for the girls. They will be in the charge of trained worker for service among teen age girls and also have a matron with a corps of assistants
