"A MANS A MAN FOR A, rHAr~

 From the Cincinnati Enuuirer. If poet ever found an abiding n,ace In the heart of common humanity it was Robert Burns. January is Burns natal ninth, and lovers of this sweet singer of songs here and throughout the world have in one way and another been paying tribute to his memory.
 few days ago at Boston was unveiled a statue of rare Robbie, the cul1nina tion of 10 years of loving. patient effort on the part of men and women. The cost of this memorial would have made the careless. improvident singer independent in his day; would have saved him from lodging the process servers and "ither lika deils." who made his life miserable. But the fact does not detract from the beauty of the motives responsible for it's being.
 Hater of hypocrisy. the tinsel and gaud of artificial social environment, Burns cauterized them with the fierce scathe of his wrathful satire and contempt. But he will be best remembered for his kinship
 
 people of the world whose sorrows and joys, hopes and fears he knew so well. His lyric tenderness has soothed the souls of men and women for generations. No epic Tyre was his. He knew his pipes O Pan, and so was able to bless all after times.
 Democrat he was, and so a pioneer in the assertion that the rank is but the guinea's stamp. He realized his own worth, and so sent singing down the grooves of time and change this immortal challenge:
 If I'm designed yon lordlfng's slave, By natures law designed, Why was an independent wish
 Fer planted in my mind?"

Many Plea. of Guilty

There have been more pleas of guilty in my court this week than l have experienced in a number of years stated Judge William E. Fort yester- day Tn one day during the week I assessed fines on guilty pleas that amounted to $1400. The docket in my court is practically cleared for this week. which is due in great measure to the large number of men and wo- men who entered pleas of guilty The courts would never keep up with the cases if everyone demanded a jury trial"

Admiral Sims Is Receiving
 Little Sympathy In England

LL&Ile sympathy III Eng EldnQ lsT0HAT the controversy between 0 Secretary Daniels and Admiral Sims is viewed with mixed emotions abroad is indicated by a London icablegram to the New York World.
 It appears that Admiral Sims is receiving scanty sympathy from the English, although he has been ac- lcused of being a better Briton than American. The Worlds correspond lent says, "The fact that he was sent here at all, with his well-known An .glophile record, is regarded as suf- .ficient answer to the suggestion he makes that America was not thor loughly. supporting the Entente. The chiefs of the United States navy gave Ia free hand to Sims, who continually showed his English sympathies."
 Another blunder that somewhat cooled the ardor of Admiral Sims admirers was the public manner in which he injected himself into the quarrel of Admiral Jellicoe and Ad- miral Beatty, as a partisan of Jelli- COG. That was a serious breach of decorum. An American naval off cer occupying such position of re- sponsibility, should have been the ! last person in the world to support either side of a domestic wrangle which had England by the ears. But that was Sims "all over." Getting into hot water is no novelty to him. 1 While there may be disposition in England not to be too hard on the admiral, the English people have paid, and continue to pay, generous tribute to the part played by the American navy in the war. This ad- miration was brought out when our destroyers arrived after a voyage across the Atlantic, ready to begin patrol service at a moments notice, and there is no reason to believe the favorable impression then created has been lessened by anything that happened afterward.

 Jefferson County Maintains
 Its Record for Homicides G61DLOODY BREATHIT' is no
 " longer a sanguinary battle ground, but there is no improvement in Bloody Jefferson" According to the coroner's annual report for last year, there were one hundred and forty-six homicides in this county. Only fourteen were pronounced justi- liable.
 Such a record might we'll cause as- tonishment in other parts of the United States and particularly in Eu- rope. There are foreign countries of considerable size which do not have as many killings in a year as Jeffer- son county has been known to have in thirty days.
 With . population for this county i estimated at something like three hundred and fifty thousand people, the murder rate is appalling. Whisky

Tribute to Capt. Mattes
 Is Paid By Texas City

INDIVIDUALS may remember, but 0 too often communities forget. Houston, Tex, is not one of these.
 August 23, 1917 occurred one of the worst military riots the south has ever experienced. Capt. Joseph w. Mates, Battery A, One Hundred and Twenty-second artillery, Illinois Ma tional Guard, faced company of ne gro soldiers who had run amuck in Houston and ordered them to halt. For several minutes he struggled against the crazed negroes trying to restore discipline. They had ob- tained weapons and were firing in all directions. The brave officer was soon borne down and the mob rushed over him on it's way to commit dep- relations that resulted in many of them later being court-martialed and executed.
 Houston remembered the heroic deed of the northern soldier whose life was sacrificed in line of duty. The other day H. M. Mayo, proni- nent railroad man of Texas, carried l
 a bronze tablet to Chicago which the people of Houston had sent to com- memorate Captain Mates. It was presented with appropriate ceremo- nies at Rotary Club luncheon in the Hotel Sherman.
 | Captain Mates, commanding Bat tery A, reached Houston only a short while before the rioting began, and he was killed before he had a chance to serve his country in battle, yet he, too, made the Supreme sacrifice" and his name should always be hon ored, especially by southern people, and that city in particular whose in- habitants he tried i t t0 protect.

Another Bfs Bond Issue

The Kentucky legislature is. con sidering proposal to issue $75,ooO,0oo of good roads bonds.' said c. E. Jenks, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce. That is three times the amount of the bond issue the people of Alabama will vote upon February 16. The Kentucky proposition, from the information I have, is similar to the plan adopted by the Alabama leg islature. A heavy license tax would be levied upon automobiles and motor driven vehicles and the proceeds of this used to pay the interest and retire the bonds in 25 years. The majority leader of the Kentucky house of representa- tives is said to be preparing the bill. which is expected to be introduced within a few days"

Tt is certainly very gratifying to me to know that the music during the coming Bob Jones revival at the High lands Methodist Church is going to be a great feature of the meeting" said Mrs T. l.. Bissell. director and so- prano of the choir of that church. T have always felt that music touches the heart and soul of nearly every body. and sometimes when the words of the preacher fail to reach the heart beautiful music does so.

Bob Jones' singer. Loren Jones. and Mrs. Loren Jones. pianist, are trained mu- sicians. trained in revival work. and they understand their business. The latest and most modern revival song books are to be used and the ckofr of 100 voices with a leader like Loren Jones, who bears the reputation of be- ing in the same class with Mir.

Amusing Incident At Y.aye Matinee

Amusing Incident At fsaye Maunee
 "One of the most amusing incidents occurred at the matinee Thursday aft ernoon given by the Cincinnati Sym phony Orchestra. under the leadership of the great Ysaye. that I have ever witnessed" said Emil Levy. one of Bir- mfnghams prominent musicians, who was MT. Ysaye's accompanist on his first American tour 20 years ago. "Mr. Ysaye told me about it between the numbers on the programme. as I was back of the stage with him whenever he was off duty. It seems that in the beautiful Indian Suite of MacDowelps, that one of the exquisite effects is produced by the trumpet and the horn, being played back of the stage, com ing from the distance. as it were. The two musicians stood far back and started their Indian calls. when one of the stage hands rushed up to them and. taking them by the arm, said:
 z" TSh-h-h-h! Don't do that. You disturb the musicians on the stage 'Mr. Ysaye roared with laughter over the incident and enjoyed it tremend- cusly."
