Negroes to Make Useful
 and Interesting Exhibits

THE thirty ninth annual session 1 0 of the Alabama State Teach ers' Association will meet here today at the Sixteenth Street Colored Bap- tist Church. The Rev. James A. Bray, one of the foremost negro edu- cators in this part of the country, will be in charge of the sessions, which will continue until Friday. Addresses will be delivered by Dr. J. H. Phillips and other well-known white educators. Scores of colored teachers will be heard on timely topics. An important feature of the occasion will be the exhibits rom various colored schools.
 Industrial exhibits of high merit have been made in other years, but the displays this week promise to sur pass in excellence any previous ex- hibits.
 One of the most stimulating fea- lures no doubt will be the sympos- ium, What am I, the institution with which I am connected, or the organization of which I am a part, doing or willing to do to face the Vital Issues F" led by J.

Depriving General Wood
 of Some Campaign Thunder

a TIT now appears that General Wood, J instead of being the victim of a hard-hearted democratic administra tion, with no love for Roosevelt or his friends, was kept from overseas serv- ice by a serious ailment. Surgeons some time ago removed tumor from j General Woods brain and have re- gently been SC good as to announce publicly that the disease in no wise impaired his usefulness.
 Every newspaper reader will recall the storm of criticism heaped on the administration because of it's sup posed prejudice against General Wood. He was pictured as eating his heart out in American cantonments while Pershing and his aids won un- dying fame on the battlefields of Flu rope. Not few good democrats were taken in and grieved because General Woods abilities were not more suit ably recognized. As matter of fact, he performed inestimable serv- ice at home. No other man was so we'll fitted, it appears, to whip a great civilian army into shape, which General Wood did to his everlasting credit
 If the state of his health kept Gen. eral Wood from fighting in Europe, and not the shade of his politics and his relations with Roosevelt, the ad- ministration is cleared of charge made with much noise and great per- sistencc by the generals friends. It was delicate matter and neither the administration nor General Wood saw fit to make any explanation.
 | nat GeHetdl Woou prSSlueueidi boom was helped by the sympathy created for him, cannot be denied, but if, as The Age-Herald's Washing ton correspondent believes, his friends acted unwisely in alienating this 'p- port by showing that he was not kept out of the war by Wilsonian spleen, they might say that the inn portant work he did in America proves he could have done as much or more, if permitted to serve abroad, in spite of any physical handicap he may have had

E F E New Working Plan For Alabama Miners

l THE coal operators of Alabama 9 have announced a new plan which is to be put into effect in mines of this state for the adjustment of grievarces. The plan is arranged with sach fairness to both sides that lit should prove feasible in every par ticular.
 The principles upon which employ CTS and employees are to operate will be based upon justice and will make for peace and harmony. Any griev- ance that may arise will be adjusted by men representing each side with an umpire chosen from the district and appointed by the United States district judge to be the final arbi- ter.
 Wages will be raised, and will remain as fixed on the first of April
  for one year.
 Among the rules that must be ob- served are sobriety and honest effort on the part of the employees. ,Ameri- canism is stressed and everything is planned to assure fair dealing and
 
 foster tranquility in all matters touching the common welfare of em- ployes and employer Industrial relations in Alabama have been fairly satisfactory, but with the new arrangement between the operators and the men, they will be ideal.

nRorHERHoop or MAN

By Marcus Aurelius. Begin thy morning with these thoughts: shall meet the meddler, the ingrate, the scorner. the hypocrite, the envious man, the cynic.
 These men are such because they know not how to discern the difference between good and evil
 But know that Goodness is Beauty and that Evil is Loathesomeness.
 know that the real nature of the evil dore is akin to mine, not only physically, but in unity of intelligence and in par ticipation in the Divine Nature
 Therefore, I know I cannot be harmed by such persons, nor can they thrust upon me what is base.
 I know, too, that I should not be angry with my kinsmen nor hate them, because we are all made to work together fitly, like the feet. the hands, the eyelids, the rows of the upper and the lower teeth.
 To be at strife one with another is therefore contrary to our real nature; and to be angry with one another, to despise one another, is to be at strife with one another.

THACKERAY IN AMERICA

l hnding homes here as pure as ours f1resides like ours, domestic virtues q ; gentle; the English language, though the accent be little different, with it's hornc- like melody l am more strl1clS l,s pleasant resemblance that anvthin : else
 In contrast with the long catalog t- disagreeable features of American iIe which Dickens made our Tn his account of his visit, Thackeray expressed disliA C of but two things in thls country I4e vas disappointed with American scenery. which he found dreary and unpicturesque for the most part, and he disliked the "personal' journalism which he founa rather general here. But the scenery did not greatly offend Tnackeray ant the personal character Of the newspaper only gave him an opportunity TOT uls- play of his humor In fact he went the papers lone better by sending to Fr4# er's Magazne in England a sketch en-| titled, '.Mr. Thackeray in the Cnse.i States, which. he declared, had appeared
 Ts New York daily. The article was.st clever burlesque of the attempt of tho. American paper to satisfy the curiosity q it's readers with all kinds of intirra e facts about a famous man.
 The first visit of Thackeray extende !. over period of more than six morIs fs.. in which time he visited all the IeadA ' cities of the country. Everywhere, ex. cept, in some of the southern cities, his lectures paid well, and everywhere, with out exceptions. he found the American people likeable. By love. how kind yoll all were to me-" he exclaimed near the close of his stay.
 Three years later Thackeray returned to this country and spent another six mcnths, featuring in many cities and re- newing old acquaintances, proving every where the genial and humane friend. The reputation of being cynic, which he held at times during his life and which still clings to him in some quarters. is strangely in contrast with his remarks about Oliver Wendell Holmes
 "A dear little fellow, true poet,'' he said of Holmes. T told him how much I liked his verses. and what do you think he did? His eyes began to water Well. it's comfort to have given pleasure to that kind soul.

| those of the favored flax growing re- gions of Europe. Along the shores of Puget Sound. for instance, flax has
 been raised which is quite the equal of that from the famous fields around
 Courtrai, Belgium.
 As the department of agriculture has stated, our linseed oil industries need between 2s,OO0, 900 and 30, 900. .0on
 bushels of flaxseed annually and this is nearly double the average yearly yield of the acreage devoted here to this product. With few exceptions. amounting to only small percentage
 of the total tonnage. most of the flax straw is burned after the seed has been threshed from it, and this is done in the face of the fact that it has been our practice in the past to i'm port large quantities of flax waste to
 be turned into paper and fiber board We have probably consigned to the flames annually raw stuffs having d
 marketable value of round s100 000 900 This was simply because we gen orally lacked facilities for the wholey
 sale treatment of the straw; and ,iu the next place, the American farme simply would not engage in the exAet ing work of retting as it is done abroad.

MY PHILOSOPHY

No matter eff his daily walk Is subject for his neighbors' talk. And critic minds of ev'ry whim Jest all get up and go for him. It's nathchural enough. I guess When some gifts more and some gifts less, For them-uns on the slimmest side To claim it ain't fair divide; And I've knowed some to lay and wat And git up soon and set up late. To ketch some feller they couM hata
 Fer goin' at faster gait.
 Tho signs is bad when folks ccsrrs es
 A-findin fault with Providence
 And balkin' cause the earth don't 4laakc
 At every prancin' step they take
 No man is great till he can se@
 How less than little he woula be
 Ef. stripped to self and stark and b. e
 He hung his sign out anywhexe
 My doctern is to lay aside
 Contentious. and be satisfied
 Jest do yer best. and praise a<r blame
 That follows that counts jest khe sssae

 And it's thk man who does the 1ss

NEW INDUSTRY SUGGESTED

Robert G. Skerrett. in Leslie's.
 I'D RlOR to 1915 we brought into the country annually approxi-
 mately sa,oooOo0 worth of flax fiber from various foreign sources; and our imports of linen goods for 1914 were valued at the port of entry at s2o,lS2, S7s-the lowest figure since 1908. In addition to the foregoing commodities, we obtained from abroad great quantities of linen rags essen tial to the manufacture of the higher grades of stationery and papers for special purposes, Further, it has been necessary for us to secure from Europe each twelvemonth many millions of bushels of fIaxseed required in the making of linseed oil
 The titanic struggle during the past five years disastrously disturbed the cultivation of flax on the other side of the Atlantic, and in the opinion of experts it will probably be a long time before either flax growing or the pro- duction of linen textiles is restored to its erstwhile scale. In the interval it is entirely practicable for us to supply our own wants in a very large measure and, possibly, to export considerable quantities of the very commodities which we have had to purchase hither- to from other nations
 The weather sharps have established the fact that we have not only suit able soils in New York, Michigan, Wis consin. Minnesota, Oregon, Washington. and also in the south. but also that the moisture and temperature condi tiOnS are slJbsta n tia lly idapt;coI x.yifI

POEISMS

From the Sun and New York Herald.
 Along about 1S4O, as nearly as we can determine from an undated collec- ton of his writings, Edgar A. Poe wrote: "The modern reformist, Philos- ophy, which annihilates the individual by way of aiding the masses; and the late reformist, Legislation, which pro- vancing happiness, seem to be chips of that old block of French feudal law which, to prevent young cartridges from being disturbed, imposed penalties upon hoeing and wedding"
 number of depressed gentlemen of this day querulously complaining of thdse times will be disposed to ask what "reformists" and legislation both cred Poe in his time. or How did he get that way?"
 And having mentioned Poe, 1t is in- teresting to recall that about three- quarters of a century ago he was so distressed about not unfamiliar sub iect of this date that he wrote about it as follows:
 Samuel Butler of Hudibrastic mem ory, must have had a prophetic eye to the American Congress when he de- fined a rabble as-'A congregation or assembly of the States General--every one being of several judgment con- corning whatever business being under consideration. They meet only to quar- rel he adds. and then return home full of satisfaction and narrative.'"
 There may be some who will con clude that Poe no less than Butler was favored with a prophetic eye. po- litically speaking.

Applying the Acid
 Test to Socialism

11lAD there never been war, the lS 0 socialists in America might have had smooth sailing Their rec ord during the war laid them open to the grave suspicion of being, if not traitors to America, at least un- willing to lend hand in the most critical hour of the nations existence.
 When patriotism was at fever heat Decatur's famous saying, "Our Coun- try! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong" expressed the sentiment of the bulk of Americans. They rightly took the attitude that after the gov ernment had entered into life and death struggle against the central powers, it was their duty to support it even to the point of dying for it or Europe's battlefields and in for eign waters.
 That was no time for an expres- sion of ones personal prejudices against all wars in general, and this one in particular. When a house is burning the man who stops to argue on the foolishness of permitting house to catch fire is run over and

High Prices Charged
 By Eating Places

1T0 HE restaurants of Birmingham
 1 charge no more than the eating places of other cities, but the prices have risen here and elsewhere.
 The old ten-cent charge for nome grown and canned vegetables, is now twenty cents, and in some cases such as asparagus tips, thirty-five cents. And pies that used to be served at five cents per cut, are now fifteen cents.
 The restaurant man points to the high wages paid to cooks and walters las an apology for the general ad- vance. But is not twenty cents for such familiar vegetables as pie plant, black-eyed peas, candied yams and lye hominy excessive?
 Not all restaurants charge so high. One occasionally comes across an cat ing place where vegetables are set down at fiften cents, and even as low as ten cents.
 lhe five-cent vegetable can be re- called at first-class cafeterias. If they have gone up to ten, it is sim ply in line with the high cost of liv- ing. But twenty cents makes one ex- claim and ask if profiteering is a craze,
