Sanatoria Needed

"Anent the Baptist hospital propo- sition there is one point of much in- terest which has not been mentioned" said pr. J. D. Heacock. and that is the sanatoria feature. This would be unique and would give largeness and far-reachfng influence to the institu- tion. At present the hospital feature applies only to those who are acutely sick, and 1t is usually the rule of all hospitals to- hurry the patient out to their homes or somewhere else to re- cover or to die, whereas the sana- torium is the abiding place for the in- valided, decrepit and the incurable and also stresses the idea of pre- ventitive medicine and the preven- ton of disease through hygenic meas ures"

party leader and that the prospects are bright for an era of constructive legislation with a minimum of bick- ering and partisan politics.
 The opponents of Senator Under wood in Alabama have tried to make it appear that he has no standing in national affairs, has never done anything for the state or the nation and is bolstered up by a fictitious fame. The picayunish politicians who have endeavored to belittle him would have no easy task to convince the leading editors of America and MT. Underwood's colleagues in Congress that he is not statesman in every sense of the word.

NOT CONVINCING

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Commenting upon the anti-conspiracy clause which Senator Underwood wrote into the railroad bill, the Anniston Star, which is far from happy these days, says:
 Nevertheless, the farm boys who have been. coming to town in increasing num- bers recently are wondering if Mir. Un- 6erwood will next draft law to make it criminal offense for man to leave the farm. Will he argue that these boys who came to town in order to take ad- vantage of higher wages are about to starve the American people and place troops at every crossroads to force the farmer to stay in the country?'' It will takc better effort than that to make Senator Underwood's anti-con- spiracy views unpopular among the farm CTS of Alabama. Samuel Gompers. the Anniston Star and Commoner Musgrove are not at all convincing in this cam paign.

SOME BRITISH INsuLARrr1Es

From Guide Posts and Camp -Fires,' by Henry Van Dyke. in the Scribner. Once in while Briton, otherwise o1 good disposition and temperament, falls | into that extravtgance of insularity. Sid ney Smith gave bn illustration of it when
 he wrote in, 1920 Who reads an Ameri- can Booke or gdes to an American play? or looks at aL American picture ON statue?"
 Well. at that tery time, a noted Eng | fish poet. Thonrs Campbell. had read 1 the poems of Phiip Freneau of New Jer- | sey closely enoutn to steal fine verse from one of then
 1 The hunter ait the deer, a shade, -
 and embody it ih his own poem OCon-

 can Quaker. John Woolman; and Walter Scott was admirrg Washington Irving s | Sketch Book. At that very time an American painter. Benjamin West of Philadelphia, was and has been for i itwenty-seven yeA-s, president of the Royal Academy II London. Nay, it is
 reported that Sidney SmitiY himself jocosely threateRd to disinherit his l daughter If she dil not like the writings | of Benjamin Franklin. So you see his superclious comm,nt in the Review was of the nature of al abberration.
 1 Something of thu same nature I noted I In Matthew Arnold the apostle of sweet ness and light yhen he visited this | country some thi1y odd years ago. A l genial Scotch-Amefcan, a bon-vivant of the old school, male a feast for him, at

HAYWOOD'S HELPING HAND rom the Chjca1o Trihupa

Y run tDc SufCdBO 1TiDune. Big Bill Haywood and the l. W. w. have a plan for helping the American working man. It is to destory American foreign trade. So an appeal has been sent to foreign workers to strike on ships from the United States so as to prevent them from loading or unloading, and to refrain from purchasing anything made in America or shipped from America Thus the American capitalists who
 make money in foreign trade will be | ruined.
 Also the wage-earners they employ will
 be out of their jobs. What is Bill going to do for theb? There will be quite a number of them. American foreign commerce in 1913 be- fore the war, was over $1, 800, 900 900. That | represents the work of good many peo- /! pie.
 | Bill also wants foreign workmen to pro- l test to travelling Americans against the infamies and prosecutions suffered by
 United States" He is trying to shut the doors of thousands of factories, to throw hundreds of thousands, if not millions, out of work, and he wants European
 workers to protest against the "infamies
 and prosecutions suffered by the l, l w. w.
 | If Big Bill could accomplish this result, l the ruin of American foreign trade, there l would be just one proper place for him | and his kind-the end of a limb At pres radicals are for him. As a matter of fact he is about as useful to society as a | mad dog.
