 All that stuff about the democratic party not having one chance in thou sand Is nothing but hot air, blowing over from the G. o. P. camp. and shows more than anything else that the re- publicans have the defeat sign hanging out all over them," said Fred Johnson.
 The democratic party will win be- cause the women of the south and the west and thinking people generally are going to vote for the party that will keep the government going In the same progressive manner that it has gone forward during the past eight years Before this time there were very few women who held any high positions IF the business world and those that did had no say in the affairs of which they were part"

Some Practical Reasons
 for Joining the League
x # #

for Joining the League 1r7 AM not interested in the League
 of Nations. It is too far off. l : am more interested in our own local problems"
 This is a comment frequently heard, oven among democrats who are pledged through their party organiza- ton to the world covenant.
 There is no more vital problem to every American today than the friend ship and accord of the other nations of the world, particularly Europe.
 Our comfort, our prosperity our welfare depend upon our industries. ! The more farm products we turn out, the more manufactured articles we produce the greater is our prosperity and the greater our incomes-theo- retically.
 But to reap this prosperity some one other than ourselves must buy the surplus we produce. We cannot begin to use it all. The market is the rest of the world.
 Europe cannot buy these products unless she can use the billions of dol lars which heretofore have been spent to maintain armies and navies. But she is going to continue to keep up her armies and navies unless the United States and other nations of the world join her in reducing them. The world is too poor to buy our products unless. the people of the world can begin to save money by not spend- ing it for things which have hitherto been considered necessary.
 In other words, if America is to remain prosperous, this country must help bear the burdens of others. Flu rope cannot spend money with us un- less we offer means of helping her get the money. They will not spend money here with the expectation of getting nothing in return.
 This is where the league affects everyone. When Europe stops buying American goods it will not take each individual long to discover that he is indeed personally interested in a League of Nations. He will then be the loudest in his condemnation of the shortcomings of those who pursue a policy of America ueber alles." Nation Is. Assured
 of Plenty to Eat
 6f7HE corn crop is the laygest in ll the history of the country. Practically all the food crops are bountiful. There is assurance of food for man and beast on the farms and in the cities.
 Whether prices are low or high, this is a sound basic condition. If the crops do not bring the prices of the past three years, the commodities depending on them will not bring the same prices. If the farmer gets less for his products, he is going to pay less for that which he purchases to produce the next crop. Meanwhile, with well-filled bins, he will live eco- nomically and keep his stock in good condition for another year.
 It is a fallacy to admit that the soil tiller gets more of the hot end of it than the city dweller. The

Need More Police

Tt Is time that the people of Bir- mingham should do something about the crime wave that is sweeping the city" said J. P. Jolley yesterday after noon- Almost every day some one IS held up and robbed of such money as may have escaped the grasping hand of the profiteer. and 1t Is not uncommon for the victim to be shot or knocked in the head as a parting reminder of the occasion. Sometimes the police are suc- cessful in experimenting the perpetra- tors of the violent act but more often they are left free to prey upon the pub lie.
 'If the police are unable to cope with the situation for lack of men, then more men should be placed on the force. It is disgraceful that crime after crime is committed within and about the city, and the matter is so quickly forgotten. As long as tho thugs are permitted to get away with their dirty work there is no need to ask How long is this sort of thing going to keep up

 Information that led to a clearing up of the mystery came. not from the out side. but from behind the bars. Two prisoners in the city jail finally aC- mitted that a "trusty" had eyed the diamond in the tie Of the owner, had called him to the door and while talk ing with him. had removed the pin.
 The ''trusty" denied all knowledge of the matter but after further investiga- ton and a closer examination. finally admitted the taking of the pin. lie said he gave it to a fireman at Centra' station.
