 Well" l retorted. the Emperor is my master and am his faithful servant, but though he is an autocratic ruler, given 10 us by God or nature, he is nevertheless human being with all the peculiarities' of one.'

Female Agitators at
 Home and Abroad

<1K months in jail will not cool the 0 ardor of Sylvia Pankhurst. By easy stages Sylvia has developed into ! thirty-third degree bolshevik. The British government discovered that she had been in confidential commu- nication with Lenine. The charge of which she was convicted was attempt ing to spread sedition in the British navy by editing and publishing an edition of newspaper, the Work ers' Dreadnaught.
 Although a pioneer hunger strik- -er," Sylvia saw in the death of Lord Mayor MacSwiney salutary lesson. She has decided that the hunger striker" if not passe, is at least no longer an effective weapon to use against a government which recog- nizes the inalienable right of pris- oner to starve himself to death, if he wants to- Sylvia will continue to take nourishment, however much it may go against the grain.
 There are entirely too many wom- en in the world like Sylvia Plank hurst. They are the mainstays of bolshevism and other forms of de- mentia. There are various types, ranging from the ''parlor pink,' who takes tea and cigarette while in weighing against the established or

T have been boy myself, of course, and I have had my fun on halloween ay. but l don't believe that the gang that I went with when l was boy ever did the things that the boys of the present day do on halloween night" says Gaines Kelly.
 q don't mean to say that the boys of the present time are doing anything wrong. I am speaking from the angle of the impossibility For out in West End late Saturday night bunch of ghosts took heavy log wagon and placed it crossways on the top of a barn that was 20 feet high. How they did it is beyond me- for I am sure that if one had tried to hire them to do il any other time they would have sa i'd that it was impossible"

Educational Opportunities

.There is no reason in the world for irefficiency in any line of work these days" said l.. D. McQuiston. "In the dark days following the civil war there were A great many boys in the south who were deprived of chance to ed- ucate themselves or to prepare for nfe's battles. The recent world war has left no such handicap on the youth ot the nation. In fact the army has served to obliterate much of the illit- eracy that did exist.
 "It is hardly within the bounds of possibility that every citizen of the country be college graduate, but they can all perfect themselves in their pa partieular line of work if they make the effort. The Y. M. c. A. and other institutions are offering courses in a number of lines of work that will be valuable to any young man who wishes to turn his spare time to good ae count"

Farmers Losc Money

The present depression of the cot ton market is having very serious effect on business in Selma and othet cities in the cotton belt" said Lucien r. Burns prominent wholesale gro' cer of the Central City. The price now being offered for cotton is below the cost of production of this years crop and if the farmers sell at pre- Nailing prices, they lose money and will not be able to pay their indebted ness. This will make a serious situa- tion for the merchants and the bankers as well as for all other lines of busi- ness.
 We are hopeful that the American Cotton association will be able to per feet an organization strong enough to bring about the more orderly market ing of the cotton crop in the future and thus prevent a recurrence of the lnsses which now threaten the farmers and the business interests of the state. One of the most important plans of this ol ganization is that of building ware houses bonded under the federal act which will enable all holders of cotton tc place their cotton in one of these warehouses and borrow enough money to hold the cotton as long as they like'

Go to the Poles Early
 and Wait Your Turn

r51HERE will be heavy vote to-
 ll morrow. The women have reg istered in large numbers and few of those who are qualified to cast a ballot will fail to do so.
 Several years ago when the poll ing places were split up into small boxes the congestion was relieved and the vote was in early. But with the addition of the suffrage vote long lines will be seen at all the pre- cincts in Jefferson and every other populous county in Alabama. It will be in order, therefore, for the voters of Birmingham to go early to the polls and await patiently their turn,
 The women will be as expeditions as the men in making out their bal lots, but owing to the large regis tration the voting will be slow. And the count after the polls close will be tedious and slow. This condition will obtain throughout the country.
 Unless there is a landslide the re- suit of the Election for President will probably snoa be known before Thurs day or rtidAy. ] tlsA Ans

Wise Course of the
 Federal Reserve Board

= OUTHERN commercial, indus S trial and agricultural interests will join in approving the action of xne federal reserve bank of Atlanta, in abrogating the base line and pro- rressIye rate of borrowing and sub ntituting a uniform flat rate.
 There may be some difference of uuinion as to the rate agreed on, but there will probably be none as to its uniformity. A per cent flat rate IS preferable to a lower base line that nav fluctuate above as well as be- low.
 Approval will be the more cheer fully lent to this change when it is borne in mind that it was made after weighing all the financial problems of the south. The bankers took up the matter when the Letting of the directors of the Atlanta reserve bank was held in this city several weeks ago. The change follows a thorough consideration of the question of rates.
 Critics of the federal reserve board have failed as yet to find any seri- ous error in its record. What it did in the war is as much part of that wars history as Chateau Thierry. What it has done since the war is not quite so justly appreciated because each interest being pinched in the readjustment feels the pain. When 1t is all over, and it soon will be, we nlyill as . nation thank our stars that

It places human rights above big business and petty politics. That is why I am a democrat and expect to cast my initial ballot under the rooster"

 Instead of corresponding with Le- nine, bolshevism's most distinguished bubble blower" Sylvia should have communicated with Emma Goldman. When Emma was preaching anarchy in America, Russia was the land of promise. When she got there, as an involuntary exile, she found it some thing else. If she has been correctly quoted since her arrival in Russia. Emma has had a sad awakening and there is nothing that would please her tired eyes more just now than a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty.

 Finishing Touch to
 A Really Big Year
 7F Alabamians give the same ma ll jority to the seaport aid amend ment tomorrow that they gave to the highway amendment in February we will all feel the better and the more encouraged for not having wearied in our forward march of 1920.
 What sufficed for our we'll being two decades, or a decade ago, is not sufficient now. We have so expand ed every activity that we must have a market outside the state, outside the nation for the surplus of our farms, our mines and our factories.
 The low price of cotton this fall was largely due to the shutting off of exports incident to the financial status of European countries. That is a passing condition, but it is a dem- onstration to us of how much dor fortunes depend on what we exchange with other peoples.
 Mobile is Alabama's only port. It is our gateway to other nations. It marks the shortest and most economi- cal route for our cotton to Europe and Asia and for our coal and lum- Der and manufactured articles to the Latin Americas and the Pacific coast. Just in the measure that we reach these far-off markets, in that meas ure we prosper.
 The port must be equipped for this service. The entire state must throw it's strength into that undertaking if it is to be done well. It is incon- that any Alabama interests will be found in opposition.
 The Jefferson county port aid amendment should pass because 1t confers on this county the right to spend it's own money as it sees fit on it's own enterprises. Fellow Ala bamians will not hesitate to accord us that right.
