MORO A DANGEROUS FANATIC
Believes Eternal Bliss to BE His If
H4e Meets Death While Killing
Christians.

The psychology Of Mohammedanlsm
Is incomprehensible to persons reared
In the atmosphere and teachings OF
American Christianity. With us the
separation of church and state Is as
much a matter of course as the air we
breathe. With us suicide is immoral
and the killing of an unbeliever Is
crime punishable with death. The Mo-
hammedan has no conception of ecclesi-
astical and state law. There is only
one law, the Koran; and while in fact
the priest and the ruler may be diff
ferent persons, they are different only
In q functional way, like judge and
an executive in our government. The
spiritual ruler is also temporal ruler,
as was Mohammed In his day. The
killing Of Christians is a virtue that
merits everlasting bliss In paradise.
The martyrs OF the early Christian
church burned with no more consum
ing ardor than the humble, ignorant
Mohammedan peasants who swear be-
fore the priest that they will go forth
and devote their lives to killing Chris
tians. Mohammedans who have sworn
to kill Christians are called in the
Philippines juramentados, from the
Spanish, meaning one who has sworn
or taken an oath. Up to decade ago
it was no uncommon occurrence in
Jolo for Moro fanatic to conceal his
bolo knife, or kris, in basket of
fruit until he had passed the guard
at the gate Of the walled town, then
draw his blade and cut right and left,
killing man, woman or child, with
perfect impartiality, until bullet from
the guard stopped his advance. 1t was
this indomitable win to kill that gave
the Christian Filipino his mortal fear
Of the Moro in times past.-O. Garfield
Jones, in Asia.

RACE NARROWS ID TWO CONTESTANTS University of Alabama and Knoxville, Tenn, Fight
 for Station

It appears to have dwindled down tc Knoxville and the State University al Tuscaloosa as the location for the mine experiment station, which the bureau of mines has decided to establish u the southeastern states.
 For this reason it is held advisable for Alabama influences to be as busy as pos- sible in the interest of the Alabama insti- tuition.
 There is no contest in Alabama between different localities. It is agreed that the State University is the place, and all eff forts is in that direction.
 It is conceded that the university, with it's laboratories and other accessories, and it's situation ip the iron and coal .belt, would be the ideal location in Ala bama. However, Knoxville is also adja- cent to large coal field. and close to a considerable iron industry, hence 1t IS also making strong pull.
 The Birmingham chapter of the Amer ican Engineering Association is pulling for Birmingham, and asks the aid of all Alabamians to secure this Important accessory to the mining interests of the state.

CONDEMN ADVENT
 OF MENNON|TES American Mechanics Pro- test Canadian Influx of German Objectionables

Heartily condemning the movement to bring to Alabama a colony of Men nonites from Canada, the Birmingham Council No. 21, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, passed resolutions at their regular meeting yesterday against the movement.
 The Mennonites are a body of people who speak only German. the resolutions state; they will not permit their children to attend public schools, and in their own schools only the German language Is taught.
 The resolutions passed by the associa- tion yesterday lid that whereas the Men rcnites, by coming to Alabama, would complicate the complex task of Amer icanzation of the already heavy alien population, and as thoughtful men have pondered the thought as to whether this country was dominated by Americans or by aliens, both as to people and institu- tions:
 Therefore. be 1t resolved That as Americans and as loyal citizens we enter our protest against bringing to Alabama or to America the Mennonites of Canada, or of any other alien body similarly in- capable of Americanization, and that we invite all native Americans to join us in the protest personally.
 Copies of the resolutions were sent to the commissioner of immigration and in- dustries and to all senators and con- gressmen, as well as the governor of the state.

EX-GOVERNOR O'NEAL HEARS OF SUITCASE IN BLACK HAND LETTER

Ex-Governor Emmet O'Neal yesterday received a letter similar to that sent out by the Black Hand organization, but which failed to have the black hand on it. Several days ago he had his suit case stolen from his automobile in front of the federal building. He advertised for the lost suit case. but had heard nothing from it until the letter was re- eeived yesterday.
 Governor O'Neal was told to ask no questions and he would be told no lies. He was instructed to leave $50 sealed in an envelope with the cashier of the Ma tional cafe and to tell him that Charles F. Parker would call for it. Within twelve hours after the money was left at the cafe he was assured that his suit case would be delivered at his home. However, he was instructed not to start any funny stuff,' but to leave the mon ey as instructed.
 This letter was addressed to Room PIP federal building and was mailed on July T. Governor O'Neal was informed that he would be given until noon of that day to bring the money, as told. How ever. as the letter was addressed wrongly it was not received until yesterday aft ernoon.
 ID to the present time he has received no other information regarding his stolen suitcase.

Jefferson county is facing a difficult situation, according to many prominent business and professional men.

South will produce no more lumber
than it will need to satisfy it's own
demands The only remaining large
supply Of softwood timber in the coun-
try is that of the Pacific coast and
already this is being called upon to
make up the deficit in the eastern
markets caused by the failure of for
est regions closer at hand to supply
adequate amounts.
It is pointed out by the report that
there is enough land in the country
not adapted for any other uses to pro-
duce an ample amount of timber for
all the needs Of the country, if it
were, stocked with trees. At the pres
ent time forest fires cause immense
damage each year and prevent young
timber which is already on the land
from making its best growth or from
producing timber Of good quality. The
only way In which, an extreme short
age of lumber with all its attendant
evils and restrictions on development
can be avoided, the report insists, is
by the adoption Of a we'll co-ordinated
policy of timber growing which will
combine the efforts Of the Federal
government, the states. and the pri-
vate individuals. with emphasis laid
first. Of all on stopping the destruc-
ton wrought by forest fires.

instead of southern pine it cost $85
SAP; plain oak flooring cost, in 1913,
$40 per thousand feet, and in 1920
$3.50; and quartered oak rose in the
same period from $1o2 to 1882.
The total cost of houses has in
creased proportionately, the report
states. "A frame house built in WASH
ington. D. c., in 1917 for $6,250 is
now being duplicated from original
plans at a cost of $12,25o. A st. Paul
architect reports that house was
built for $4.24o in 1915. not including
plumbing, heating, and wiring, and
that house built from the same plans
in October, 1919. cost $7,724, while
for Identical plans in February. 1920,
the cost rose to $11,S20, or 179 per
cent over the 1915 price. The lumber
and millwork costs in 1920 were
5000, or $799 more than the total
cost Of the house in 1915. All of the
items increased in 1920 over 1915,

nif1cant item for bond the percent

listed at $3.50 in 1915 had been raised

port. "Another company dealing in
ready-cut houses listed the material
for two-story seven-room house at
$1,995 in 1915 and now lists it at
$5,606.90, an increase Of 1871 per

Some kinds Of industrial construc-
ton can go forward regardless Of un-
certainties and cost, but ordinary
homebuilders cannot afford to pay the
lumber prices which ire now asked.
This condition of affairs is partly
due, the report points out. to the de-
pletion of the timber supply Of the
country. One after another the great
softwood forests of New England. the
Lake states and the South have been
attacked and successfully diminished.

were in part responsible for the ar
rest OF the house se-building movement
within the last few months, accord
ing to report submitted to the SEN
ate by the forest service of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
During the latter half of 1919 and
the early months Of 1920, says the re-
port. lumber prices in the United
States increased more sharply and to
far higher points than were ever
known before. In March, 1920, aver
age mill prices had increased 800 per
cent and more over 1914. While the
costs of production and distribution
of lumber likewise increased, the rise
in lumber prices was wholly dispro-
portionate. "Present prices, though
somewhat lower, are still excessive
and yield profits unjustified by COSTS"
says the report.
IA shortage in housing accommo-
dations that is almost worldwide has
brought home vividly the close rela-
tion of building to the comfort, health,
and general welfare of the public
