WHY THE OVERALLS
 MOVEMENT IS SURE
 ID FAIL IN OBJECT
Ben Veil Discusses the Ad- vances In Food, Shelter and Raiment, Mans
 Necessities

"The overalls movement. which has been so much discussed, is no doubt a well meaning effort to cut down the cost of living" said Ben Veil of M. Well & Bro. yesterday, but it is doomed to failure not only because 1t is impractical but because it does an injustice to the retail clothing busi- ness.
 Tn the first place, the advanced price of clothing is felt less than in the case of any other necessity. Sup pose a man buys two good suits of clothes per year which cost him $40 more than previously. That is Il cents day. and if he buys first-class clothes they can be made to wear much longer than has been the custom in the past.
 "The three great necessities of men are food, raiment and shelter. If mans clothing bill has advanced $40 a year how does it stand with food and shelter? A customer of mine told me he had been paying s35 month rent. His lease had a sixty-day clause. He was told to vacate and a new renter went in at $60 a month, with thirty day clause in his lease. At the end of that time the new renter was told to get out and another came in at $75 month. Here is greater increase in mans shelter expense in one month than in his clothing for the entire year.
 "As for food the situation is still worse. A man buys three pounds of sugar for a dollar when he used to get twenty-six pounds for dollar. Flour, bacon, eggs, butter chickens, in fact, everything a man eats is in almost as bad a ratio. The increases in much less than a month are far above his total clothing increase for an entire year.
 And yet the overalls movement would make the clothier suffer for the sins of real profiteers. Our margin of profit on clothing is less than it has ever been.
 of course, great many of the leaders in the overalls movement do not take it seriously or at least have not thought out it's unecomic features. Take my friend Judge Will Fort, for instance. The day after he had his article in The Herald in favor of everybody wearing overalls saw him at lunch at the Tutwiler where he had on a beautiful frock coat with silk lapels and he was the best dressed man in the dining room, bar none. sim, ply mention this to show that Judge Fort was right not to wear overalls at a lunch party. And yet, he and the others who have been so prominent in this movement have advocated some thing which is not only unjust but i'm practical, and have fostered an attack upon a line of industry which is es- sential to the country's existence.
 s'In so far as the overallS movement .ttt 4l. fs1r, af on1a 4r Q need of economy it is all right. If it will impress upon them the need for buying only good things and thereby making them last longer it will not

SHEFFIELD WANTS
 1921 5. $. MEETING
Delegates to Present City's Claims at Selma COnven-
 tiOn, Beginning Today

Sheffield. April 26--(Special)-The Ala bama Sunday School Association, whose annual convention will be in session in Selma on April 27-2S-29, will be formally and cordially invited to come to Shelf field for it's annual convention in 1921 There is a unanimous desire here that next years session of the association De held in this city, and to this end the Sheffield-Muscle Shoals Chamber of Com merce and the Council of Religious Edu- cation of Colbert county have named delegates to attend the Selma convention to present the claims of this city.
 The Tri-city Ministers Union is also actively engaged in urging the claims to bring next years convention here. Rev. H. L. Turner, Rev w. k. Rigell and Rev. w. H. Mansfield, local ministers, will attend the Selma convention as dele gates, accompanied by w. F. Brooks secretary of the Council of Religious Edu- cation of Colbert county.
 The local delegates intend to wage an intensive drive" to win for Sheffield over all other Alabama towns. Suffice it to say the Tricities district will be de- lighted to welcome and entertain the Alabama Sunday school Association in 1921 It would indeed be a rare treat for the members of the association to visit the fertile and historic Tennessee valley, a section where millions of dol lars are being expended in extraordinary development.

of jurisdiction in the state court is supported in argument not only by the appellant, but also by the United States in a brief which it has filed as amicus curiae In other words the proposition is that under the Act cf 1916, by mere operation of dec- laration of war, the states were com pletely stripred of authority to try end punish for virtually all offenses against their laws committed by per sons in the military service"
 At this point the court then reviews s exhaustively the articles of war which existed during the Revolution and the Civil war. and the opinion then pro- ceeds:
 "Comprehensively considering these provisions, it is apparent that they con- tain no direct and clear expression of a purpose on the part of Congress, conced- ing for the sake of the argument that authority existed under the constitution to do so, to bring about, as the mere re- suit of a declaration of war, the com plete destruction of state authority, and the extraordinary extension of military power, upon which the argument rests. This alone might be sufficient to dis pose of the subject for, as said in Cole man vs. Tennessee CT U. g., 509, ,51D, With the known hostility of the American peo-
  with the regular administration of justice in the civil courts, no such intention should be ascribed to Congress in the absence of clear and direct language to that effect Certainly, 1t cannot be as- sumed that the mere existence of a state of war begot of necessity the military power asserted, since the articles of war, adopted in 1775 were, as we have seen, in the very midst of the ;,,In ,,, to make certain the preservation of the civil power"
 In addition to disposing of the ques- tion of Jurisdiction of the civil court by holding that Congress did not show the slightest indication of purpose to ex- clude the Jurisdiction of state courts to deal with such acts as offenses against the state law the court proceeds to practically declare that the courts-mar- tial, so far from having exclusive jurs- diction of murders committed by soldiers in the United States during the war with Germany had no Jurisdiction whatever. On this point the court uses the following | language:
 | Tt is indeed open to grave doubt whether it was the purpose of Congress, | by the words except in time of war . to do more than to recognize the right of the military authorities. in time of war, within the areas affected by mili- | tary operations or where martial law was | controlling, or where civil authority was either totally suspended or obstructed, to l deal with the crimes specified-a doum which if solved against the assumption of general military power, would demon strate, not only the Jurisdiction of the state courts in this case, but the entire absence of jurisdiction in the military tri- bLnals."
 ] If the court adheres to the position set out above as to lack of Jurisdiction over murder cases on the part of courts martial it is probable that the Caldwell case will be the cause of releasing from military prisons hundreds of men con victed by courts-martial of murder dur | ing the last three years.

Seeding Is Delayed
Throughout State

Pierre, April 20.-The late spring
has materially delayed seeding all
over the state, but not to such an ex-
tent in the southern portion than
farther north. In the country south
OF Mitchell and Sioux Falls seeding
Ia we'll along, but north of that he
percentage Of seeding grows smaller.
Farmers are taking advantage OF
every day to get into the fields, and
even working with light rains falling
to get the seed into the ground. The
condition means that the work of get
ting ready for r painting will fol-
low immediate on that OF seeding
without any breathing spell between
the two. Tractors are being used to
a large extent in farming operations
all over the state, and apparently a
larger number are being used this
year than for any former spring.
Seeding in Hand County has been
well along, but received a decided
check in Mondays and Tuesdays rain
and snow storm.
