 The redoubtable Major Dalrymple, hero of Michigan's rum rebellion," says he is disgusted with Chicago. In spite of all his efforts saloons are still wide open and he planes the Chicago police for not giving him their enthusiastic cooperation. The idea of a Chicago or New York po- liceman enforcing prohibition, except under compulsion, is still somewhat grotesque.
 Such reports coming from unre- generate towns in various parts of the country doubtless strengthen the belief among militant prohibitionists that they must "carry on" until there is not wet spot left in America.

Merchants Association

We are delighted with the rapid manner in which the retail merchants of Alabama are taking hold of the Ala bama Retail Merchants Association, re- gently organized" said E. B. Irwin, one of the principal promoters. With an experienced and capable man like T.. Jeff Bailey as our field manager, we will soon have the vast bulk of the merchants of Alabama lined up In this mutually protective association
 Montgomery merchants are joining practically as a unit. They will or ganize tonight and several of our Blr- m .ngham merchants will be with them on that occasion. Montgomery mer- chants are also reaching out into con- tiguous territory and will organize the surrounding counties.
 "The Alabama Retail Merchants As- sociation means that the eight to ten thousand merchants we expect to join will do their kicking before ad- verse legislation Is adopted and seek it's prevention rather than wait until ] it is too late, as has been the case in the past"

Death of Distinguished
 Virginia Educator

Wh[THEN Col. Gordon McCabe, gal
 w lant confederate and distin- guished Virginia educator and man of letters, passed away recently at the age of 76, the last of a marked coterie of wartime names, save one, answered the eternal roll call. Edward V. Val entine of Richmond, aged 81, illus trious sculptor and local historian, is still at work with his pen.
 McCabe was captain at the close of the Civil war, and was known by that title up to the time of the Span ish war. He was one of many Vir- ginians of literary gifts and art cul- ture, but was most conspicuous as the founder and principal of boys clas- sical school.
 As writer he had a south-wide reputation. WIlle uc was Cilc duCLol only of text books, he had contribu- ted largely to reviews and as secre- tary of the Virginia Historical So- ciety had rendered valuable service to the cause of historic truth.
 McCabe's style was lucid and virile and had he entered broader field. he might have achieved enduring fame. No one yielded more grace ful pen, and in social life he was without peer in Virginia. He loved to recount the splendid deeds of the Confederate heroes and picture the battles of Confederate arms. He was a moving orator and no one listened to him without being thrilled and convinced.
 His life's work is done, but his memory will be kept for ever green.

WONDER TRIP IN MEXICO

meath the bow and scale away. One ex- ceptionally calm morning, when the gulf was glassy smooth, we could see them from the bow of our ship, swimming ahead a foot or two beneath the surface
 Time was when Vera Cruz was dread ed as a pest hole, and trains at once took one from the steamer up the Sierra on the way to Mexico City. usually as far as Orizaba. Now. however. sanitary conditions and hotel accommodations have been so improved that one may stay here without danger or discomfort. At least, one should remain overnight to begin the trip toward the table land early in the morning. and thus be able to see every foot of this remarkable journey.
 Tn our journey from the gulf to the summit of the Sierra, we pass throush tropical temperate and boreal zones-the Tierras Caliente, Templada and Fria, of the native Our actual journey, in pass ing from sea level to snow line. may be matter of seventy-fve miles, our change of altitude, approximately three miles; but if we were to seek the Canadian zone
 
 would be necessary for us to travel to Maine or Nova Scotia. In other words. a journey of some 1,500 miles would be required to reach conditions which are here distant but three altitudinal miles.
 Tt follows, then, that one can actually stand in a tropical jungle, where par rots, trogens, toucans and other equa- torial birds are calling from the liana- draped trees, and look upward to forests 'of pines and spruce, where crossbills, Juncos, pine siskins and evening gros- peaks are among the common permanent ly resident species.
 Later, we may ascend to the snows on Orizaba to discover at approximately what altitude the palms of the Tierra Ca- bliente give way to the oaks of the Tierra Templada, to be in turn replaced by the spruces of the Tierra Fria.

Dampness at Miami
 and Other Places

THE population of Miami, Fla, is
 U four times larger than it was in 1910. This growth is not attributed solely to a climate that makes Miami a garden spot and has caused many rich men to reside there the year aroull.
 Miami is decidedly moist. Whisky smugglers do brisk business and the best grade of liquor can be bought openly for five dollars quart. It is said that county and local authori- ties are not visibly exerting them selves to enforce the "bone-dry" law, with the result that smugglers have no difficulty in landing large quan- titles of liquor from motor boats at night They get their cargoes from the Bahamas and other neighboring islands, where millions of dollars worth of high grade whisky was transported when constitutional pro- hibition went into effect.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. 6C1HE opinion of Councillor Donald
 Clark, Tonbridge, Kent, that
 S mixed bathing kills the chances of girls for marriage is~based strangly upon the view that a girl in bathing suit with her hair streaming in her eyes looks like wet terrier.
 It may be assumed that Councillor Clark does not like dogs, or that he goes further and dislikes dogs, even terriers that his unseeing eyes find no charm in the eyes of wet terrier. What manner of man is Councillor Clark if this is true? For what under heaven matches ter riers eyes for truth, depth of affection. revelation of heart suggestion of soul?

Platform Makers Are
 Up to Their Old Tricks
for Measure.

7N the Century magazine Senator
 Frederick M Davenport says the platform makers of the two national political parties fare at their old game of practically ignoring, or salving with vague words, the main issue cn which the coming campaign should be based" but he does not believe they will "get away with it." as they have done ir the past.
 Senator Davenport thinks the grav- est question before the American peo- pie today is the industrial issue. The reactionary captain of industry and the radical labor leader have created an i'll will that constitutes a serious menace to the country's welfare, and until these two factors which have contributed so much to cause strife between capital and labor reach-a bet ter understanding of their duty as citizens of the United States, instead of concentrating their energies on class welfare, the present unrest will continue.
 The war was fought in Europe to save democracy. Here in America the autocracy of labor is opposing the autocracy of capital. The .Ameri- can people sympathize with neither. The Hong suffering public" has be- come symbol of protest. The Amer ican people are tired of having their rights swept aside in the struggle between two powerful opponents, who have shown no regard for those who play the role of innocent bystanders.
 We have had enough of capitalistic rule and there are indications that a proletarian autocracy will not be tol- erated, although it is just now more assertive and more arrogant than ever before. If we are to have a truly representative government, one that inspires confidence, class rule in politics must be done away with. Legislation must be enacted for the good of all, and not a few, whether the minority happens to be the capi- talists or the militant labor organi- zations. There is no place in Ameri- ca for soviets or invisible govern ment.

WOMEN AND WET TERRIERS

breath with Meredith as depicter or eyes of terrier quality when celebrating the dog-liSe loyalty of a nut-brown wom- an of the South Sea Islands, blade straight, steel true, eyes of gold and bramble dew"
 An English girl in a bathing suit with her hair in her eyes resembles a wet ter rier and because of the resemblance is not bidden to the altar by the man swim ming nearest, and by the men tumbling over one another to get nearer? It must be only and solely because there are Eng lishmen who aren't fit to associate with dogs. Nobody on this side of the Atlan- tic will believe there are many such.
 The wet terrier which comes forward gamboling gayly and stops to shake the water from this coat only after having reached the immediate vicinity of youf white flannels may be an unconscious creator of disaster, therefore a con- demned nuisance in the opinion of the in- dvidual who has more sentiment for his clothes than for his dog, or the other 1eiioW uog! But the wet terrler WHICH places one pad or a dripping muzzle, upon the knee which welcomes that mark of confidence and with it's luminous eyes expresses unwavering, undying, un- matched loyalty has exactly the sort Of eyes upon which a sensible man would wish to stake his hope of happiness if he should discover them in woman at q mixed bathing resort or elsewhere. It is not surprising that Councillor Clarks grabbed objection did not serve to put the ban of the council of church. men upon mixed bathing.

 natural attractions than any other area of similar extent in the world"
 This is the statement of Frank M.
 Chapman in a communication to the Ma tional Geographic Society, concerning
 Vera Cruz, which figures so conspicuously in news dispatches from Mexico. Dr. Chapman continues:
 Be one student or tourist, there can be no question that one should enter Mexico from the gulf. A journey from the coast to the capital follows natural

One-Man Safety Car
 a Pronounced Success

1.-THE one outstanding and r1o-
 U nounced success of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power Company during the period of duress that commenced impinging itself on the electric car systems of the coun- try with the increase in cost of op- erations, has been the one-man safety car.
 They are swift, noiseless, comforta- ble. They cover the ground faster in the going of each car and enable twice the number of cars going each way at the same expense.
 There is 30 per cent more travel over the Lakeview and Highland avenue lines since their introduction than there was before. Some of this in- crease is at the loss of other car Ines touching these lines, and motor bus service, but it is also plain fact that lot of absolutely new business has developed.
 Before they were introduced in Bir- ingham, the bugaboo of mixed white and black passengers was presented in protest. Down in Mobile they are repeating that baseless objection. They are also claiming that one man cannot do the work we'll. One man has done it well in Birmingham and there has been no racial trouble. Civilized communities stand in their own light when they resist a public convenience and economy.
