 BROTHER SHOULDERS BLAME

Orchids of the JungIes

From An Orchid or Asia, by Edna Worth ley Underwood in Asia
 The best place to get orchids for ex-
 l periments in crOss-fertilization is South America. They have reached highest de- Veiopment there. The rarest, most won- oerful flowers in the world are found in the South American jungles "To the hill forests of Columbia you
 must go for the odontoglossum. In the JIngles of Ecuador there are trees which are enveloped with orchid blossoms These orchids-from the old Spanish Main-are gorgeous and splendid, like the lustful dreams of the conquistadores. Did you ever see d red like that? What are those you ask? Bee, frog, lizard, but terfly, orchids. Notice, if you will, that they do not in the least resemble flower
 There are orchids that give off per- fume only at certain hours and differest perfume on different days. And some- times they initiate scents of other flowers just as mocking birds initiate bird voices. Did you ever hear of the death orchid of Venezuelan"
 Not many white men had heard of It. And none have seen 1t. It's perfume causes either death a narcotic sleep to the Indians-from which they never awake in their right mind. No one has gathered 1t. It might not have the same effect upon white man. you see. Now there's your chance Go! Find it." The Grand Duchess Marie Pavlova of Russia. whose father.

For the Good of The Community

| ne community THE passage of the water power bill in the
 A last days of Congress marked the nations farewell to policies of suspicion, hesitation and distrust
 Those three bilious emotions of the human family have stood in the way of practically every onward movement Next to ignorance they are the most effective foes of progress.
 For ten years the greatest law-makng body in the world was unable to agree on what should have proven very simple matter Had not so many men been so suspicious of many other men, the water power law of today would have been on the statute books almost automatically.
 Alabamans will be glad to learn that follow ing two weeks consultation with the federal power commission, the water power companies of the country find it feasible to go ahead with their development plans.
 The Age-Herald's Washington correspondent predicts as a result of the Washington confer ennce and the water power bill, "a water power era hitherto unapproached in the history of the United States" It looks that way. Human in- genuity and private initiative have been un- leashed in another avenue of endeavor
 Progress has been succession of disentangle- ments The race for generations made su- preme effort to tie itself into series of hard knots inimical to development. It has required all these centuries of Christian and enlightened effort to unite these knots.
 Many of the immediate followers of Christ did not wish the Gentiles to have the "Glad Tdngs" They had heard the Golden Rule promulgated, from the Masters lips, but they did not understand They were bound up in the tradi- tions of one people.
 Since the decision was reached to preach to the Gentiles, and Christianity in consequence pervaded the world, humanity has been loosen ing the strings of distrust Religious and politi- calfreedom were the first fruits These are not incompatible with trust On the contrary, they imply reliance of men on men, confidence of one good man in the goodness of another
 There had to be confidence between Alabam- : ians before they voluntarily assumed another tax for schools and then another on top of that There had to be confidence between citizens of Jones Valley before they voted their road bonds No one gets anywhere without confidence in his neighbor.
 We will not have the kind of port we should have unless we further trust one another There are no really "Glad Tidings" for those who can T. IT. IL

Many Southerners Turn
From Party Ranks to
Assist Pershing Drive

Washington, April 6.-(Special)
After spending six weeks in
Florida and touring a number Of
southern states. | have been greatly
impressed by the number of men in
the south who incline toward the
republicans this year," said Judge T.
A. Holloway, a prominent Virginian
visiting in Washington.
Neither the league of nations nor
the prohibition question appears to
be troubling them much. They are
more concerned over getting a man
in the White House who will have
the confidence of the people, whose
ability has been demonstrated, and
who can pull the United States back
to the position she occupied before
the war-fnancially and diplomati-
eally {.
81 was surprised to find a strong
sentiment favoring General Pershing
for president. The southerners ap-
pear to have the impression that
Pershing was not only success as
commander of our overseas foees,
but that his civilian viewpoint and
practical mind typifies the kind of a
man needed in the White House at
this time. General Pershing has
been accorded ovations wherever he
appeared in the south, and of all the
dark horses mentioned, the Ne
braskan, in my opinion. seems most
likely to make the stronger appeal
to the Chicago convention"

without being trained for better
jobs, George B. McGovern, of Yonk-

Whether the agriculture commit

lation is needed he will have assisted
in allaying the agitation surrounding
the meat industry; and il legisla-
ton is needed, as many believe. Mr..
Burke will have a large share in

for nine hours debate, under which
it will be taken up in The. house on
Thursday. The minority report
prepared by Representative Flood

member of the committee will be
introduced tomorrow.
There was some debate in tine
house today on the peace matter
curing which it was indicated that
the democrats would vote almost
solid1y against the resolution.
Representative Venable, demo-
crat of Mississippi. attacked the
Institutional power of congress to
take each action, characterizing it
as an attempted usurpation of the
treaty making functions, while,
Representative Mondell. republican
leader, asserted that as congress
had the power to create condition
of war, it had the power to end it.
Cite Several Authorities.
The majority report cited a num-
Der of authorities on international
law to support the committees con-
tention that there were three
methods of determination belliger-

and sub bjugation of one coh1batant,
or "by the mere cessation of hos

evident that there is no intention

that the war is at an end. As OF the
resolution of April f, 1917, congress
officially recognized the fact that
war had been thrust upon us, so
now it becomes the duty of con-
gress to give official recognition to
the fact that the war is ended.
Moreover the general welfare of the
United States imperatively demands
that all uncertainty UPON this SUBJ

ordinary war powers of the govern

War Laws in Force.
"The laws conferring extraordi-
nary powers on the president for
the duration of the war are still in
full force and effect and constitu-
tional rights are still suspended.
Many of these laws are extremely
drastic, and could be justified only
as war necessities, but since the war
has, in fact, long since ceased, the
justification for these laws no long

TALK OF SOVIET
REPUBLIC RIFE
IN COPENHAGEN
Special Measures Taken to
Keep Crowds Away From
Royal Palace.

Copenhagen, April 6.-The po-
lice were out again in full force
Monday night and special measures
we're taken to keep crowds away
from the neighborhood of the royal
palace.
Syndicalists and left socialist agi-
tators held meetings before the
town hall, at which there was much
talk Of soviet republic and other
revolutionary measures. Large
gangs of roughs were out for mis-
chief, but police restricted this to
the breaking Of various windows
and the plundering OF one or two
slcp fronts.
The calling off OF the general
strike seems to have been followed
virtually all along the line and life
was almost normal.
The jubilation of the moderate So
cial democrats at the success of their
action is tempered by the advantage
that the brandishing of the strike
weapon has given the syndicalists
and socialists, who are loudly pro-
claiming their dissatisfaction at the
results achieved.
