For Good of the
 Community

Doesn't the Good of Community column sometimes find it hard scratching for subject of optimism? Isn't there a blank in that quarter now and then?"
 The answer is emphatically no" The big and fine things that are happening in this district press on heels one of the other so thick and so fast that he who seeks them IS in the position of Yankee Doodle, who could not see the town for so many houses.
 It is just matter of attitude. He who comes to town of mornings with grouch to be gratifed will get all he wishes be- fore he has finished opening his morning mail. The heat may not have been turned on, the awning may not have been put up, 1t may be raining when he wished the sun to shine and it may be dry when he wished 1t wet for his own peculiar pur- poses
 Litter may be blowing down the street where his home is and the garbage can may not have been moved promptly The huchster may have awakened him too early in the morning. He may have stumped his toe on a stray brick lying op the pavement because the city had not placed an electric light at that precise spot.
 If man allows himself to fret over these things in his immediate foreground and fails to throw his eyes on the spacious stretch of horizon before him and see the community good extending thither in broad sweeps he will miss the magnifi- cence of the general trend and gather bile out of the sourness of his own viscera If he does look for the big, the true, the good and the beautiful it is there
 Just few of the forward things of the past ten days
 Birmingham got subtreasury; the wish of fifteen years gratifed.
 Another of its magnificent buildings taken over by parties appreciative of in- vestment in Birmingham central business property.

SEN. SMOOT ATTACKS
TRADE COMMISSION
Says Sugar Probe Is Effort to
Defeat Him.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Charges
that federal trade commission inves-
tgation of the Utah Idaho Sugar COM
pany was being used in an effort to
defeat him for reelection were made
in the senate today by Senator Smoot,
Republican, Utah.
Although Senator Smoot said he had
only nominal stock interest in the
company. he declared the commission g
activities were being directed against
his political interests
mo one can object to any action
that can be taken to control or regu-
late the lawful distribution of sugar.
said Senator Smoot. but when any de-
partment OF the government undertakes
to secure the defeat or election of a
United States senator through the in
vestigation Of the affairs Of a sugar
company, 1t is time that such con-
temptible practice be called to the at
tention of the public"
Senator Smoot read copies Of tele-
grams alleged to have passed between
W. H. Beer, attorney for the commits
sion in the Utah-ldah company's in
vestiga tion, and Geo. T.. Sanders. Of
Salt Lake City in which Mr. Beer
asked Sanders for advice regarding his
movements and departure from Utah.
The alleged reply of Mr. Sanders ad-
vlsed Mr. Beer not to be "in too big
hurry to finish your case as public
sentiment is fast changing and almost
entirely for government prosecution
Months ago, Senator Smoot said he
was advised that the trade commission
planned TO investigate the Utah Idaho
concern just before the eelction and
that among other causes assigned was
that 1t would help defeat him for cleo
ton. Mr.. Smoot said he owned only
76 shares in the company. paying him
$22 monthly, including some from his
father's estate.
