LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

that any complaint of bad roads is in variably met with the reply, Yes, bus this county has no Jerry Gwin and big mlnded revenue board to back him, and that is why our good roads are all prom ises for the future, and not grand reality. as they are in Jefferson county.
 In conclusion, permit me to say that the critics of Jerry Gwin are only try ing to condemn the whole board of reve- nue over the broad shoulders of Jerry Permit me also to say that they only make themselves ridiculous-as they come under the category-any Jackass can stand at the foot of Bunker Hih monument and bray at it. but a mli1oh iackasses could neither enact the scene which caused the building of the monu- ment, or to build it.
 MT Gwin cannot afford to pay atten- tion to such puerile attempts to oesniiren his garment, or those of the remalh'hS'
 members of the beard. As to condemn him individually is by imputation to cast . reflection that the remaining members sf the board are ''nincompoops' or mere 1othings. ...,,y

as revealed in the departments official dispatch, and speak at length of impor- tant and extensive concessions which he claims to have received from the soviet government
 "The department has no information beyond that contained in the dispatch. | might say, however. that it comes with
 out qualifying terms from an official
 of the department in whom we place much dependence. He is Mir. Evan E. Young. our commissioner at Riga, and Is
 charged with the duty of reporting to the
 department significant facts that come
 to his knowledge. The report that MT.
 Vanderlip has made proposals looking to the recognition of the soviet government and is apparently bargaining thereon Tor
 valuable concessions makes it proper for
 me to state, by way of warning that as
 the government of the United States has never recognized the bolshevik regime,
 American businss men and investors should bear in mind that any concessions
 from the bolshevik authorities would
 have no certainty of recognition by fu-
 ture Russian governments.
 "It furthermore would be most regret
 able if any confusion should arise in the minds of the soviet authorities as to the attitude of this government on the question of political recognition, This
 attitude has been stated in uumistakable terms.
 .The receipt. however of an official dispatch conveying the intelligence that proposals docking to recognition have been made, even if rresponsibly. makes it important that an opportunity should be afforded for the numerous men re- ported from Los Angeles to be associated with Mir. Vanderlp, but whose names are not published to define their relation | to him, if any exists

WAGING HOT FIGHT
New Orleans Citizens Prefer Crim-

New Orleans. October 26.-Criminal charges against the mayor and com missioners, loud protest from a mass meeting and the opening of campaign to invoke the referendum provisions of the city charter on the car fare ordi- nance were among today's develop nents in the fight being waged by res- idents of the city against the recent increase in street car fares.
 Mayor Behrman and commissioners were today chargedIin the city crim- inal court with the violation of a state law, which, makes the collection of a trolley fare greater than specified In the franchise 8 misdemeanor.

portance of this election to the future Of the United States.
 One other tendency of thinking voters has become very apparent to me in the last few days. They are beginning to realize that the election of Senator liar ding does not mean the conduct of na- tional affairs by the republican party during the coming two or four years. The reason for this is obvious. The present leadership of the republican party is hopelessly divided. Merely for campaign purposes they have held to- gether after a fashion. It is true that Senator Johnson has said that pro- league republicans who intended to vote for Senator Harding were hypocrites' and it is true that some republicans have regarded Senator Johnson and his followers as crazy radicals.
 "All thinking people realize that II Senator Harding is elected, he is going to have from November on the most trying task within his own party when ever confronted President-elect or a President

U. s. SHOULD JOIN THE LEAGUE FOR ECONOMIC REASONS

 Says Roosevelt
By Associated Press

New York, October 26.-Speaking at a dinner and three political rallies In Brooklyn tonight, Franklin D. Roosevelt Declared the United States out "as mere matter of self-preservation'' to take bart in the attempts which are being made to stabilize and improve world Finance through the League of Ma tions
 T have been tremendously impressed, he said, by the great swing of senti- ment toward Governor Cox by men and women in New York who are interested commercial transactions connected with foreign trade. All of the world re- .hlzes that the financial stability of the EEeat majority of nations has been se- |Eerely shaken and that it is even now in a dangerous condition. It is still wholly possible to prevent a crash, but Rt the same time, unless cooperative .hction is taken, the danger will increase rather than diminish.
 "Of course, if crash in foreign parts Fhould occur, the United States would be seriously affected.
 If for no other reason than selfish 'pne, the United States must immediately Fesume her place at the table with other
  |cial difficulties resulting from the war .n1ay be strengthened out and placed in a safe position. It is of course reason |Rble to add that if collapse occurs be- cause of the United States not taking part in world affairs, it is not merely Americans connected with foreign com merce who will Suffer. Every other American will feel the blow indirectly even those who live in the middle of the country or on the farms.''
 SURE TO ELECT COX
 Reports he has received from all over the country during the past few days, Mr. Roosevelt said, indicate almost be- kond any shadow of doubt that Cover nor Cox will be elected President next Tuesday. vast number of votes nor mally affiliated with the republican party, he asserted, will vote the demo- cratic ticket this year.

Why Jerry Gwin
ditor of The Age-HeraId:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Birmingham, and we might say Jet- ferson county, occupy a peculiar posi- ton and one different from almost any other community in the state of Ala bama. Our great iron and coal and other incident industries have attracted to this locality curious and conglom- crate mass of people. It is not there fore any matter of wonder that few of these cannot understand how Dis things are conceived and executed. It is indeed quite natural that some of these are sufficiently ignorant to come under the class set down by Alexander Hamilton as being those who condemn and criticise adversely everything in which they had no part in making It takes a master mind to work out tue plans that have been conceived and exc cuted by the board of revenue. You note, do not give to MT. Gwin the full credit of doing everything. nor is it fair to charge him individually with any errors or lapses that may have been made.
 Let us first see how the revenue board of Jefferson county is viewed and re- spected all over this state, and l might add, almost nationally. Traveling men in every kind of occupation will testify that my statement is correct when 1 say

SOCIALIST ACTIVITY

While the most spirited and enter taining feature of the campaign in eastern cities is being provided by the socialists, the leaders of the two major parties agree that the vote for Debs will fall below the 100000 claimed by the socialist managers to about one. half of that number.
 The socialist leaders in New York predict that they will poll x500000 votes in the state, or about one-sixth of the total. The republican and democratic estimates concede between 100000 and 3e0,000.'
 Dudley Field Malone, the farmer labor candidate for governor of New York, will. probably not poll as many votes as seemed likely a week ago. though he win probably cut heavily into the Irish and radical labor votes, which is normally with Tammany.
 One reason for this is the eleventh hour flop of William Randolph Hearst to Smith. In New York and all the other eastern states the national cam paign has passed it's peak. Most of the action is provided by state and local candidates. The most vigorous battle over the presidency is for the eighty six electoral votes of Ohio. Indiana. Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia and Maryland. It is in these states that the managers of the two parties are spending their oratory and most of their money.

TO what, extent the conversion of this class will benefit Governor Cox is uncertain, but it will surely win him thousands Of votes.
 The effect of the colonels break has been to set national charmen and the other members of the republican board or control guarding all avenues against sim liar indiscretions that may finally cause the defeat of Harding. To offset the possible adverse influence or the harvey break the republican managers assert that the Ohio style of campaigning With which they credit the democratic man. agers of that state in conducting against MT Harding will drive many democrats to his support.
 Vague and unsettled charges effectlng the republican presidential candidate and designed to appeal to race prejudice in Ohio and the other border states are being given wide circulation from mouth to mouth and through dissemination of anonymous pamphlets and pictures ob- viously intended to prejudice voters
 against Mir. Harding for reasons that are neither political, moral, nor in fact impair his eligibility in any legal re- spect The republican managers of Ohio have served a warning to the dem- ocratic managers of that state against the continuance of what they describe as gutter nolitics'
 HOW IT HAS SPREAD The national democratic managers have disclaimed any responsibility for the style of propaganda of which the republicans complain and have done everything in | their power to discourage it. That the admonitions and warnings have failed tr do so is pretty well established by its 1 introduction into the campaigns of other 1 states.
 The race problem has become an i'm portant factor in several states along the borders. The republicans are depending upon it to win Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky Missouri, Maryland and West Virginia and to cut down the normal democrat tic majorities in most of the states in the !, southern belt.

ding it to a degree unparalleled in the political history of the country.
 The republicans have not been par simonious in the use of money to ''or- ganize'' this vote and have been com pelled to turn down demands from states where the race issue is not important in order that the colored brother shall not lack for a welcome attention and profit-at least during the campaign. The claims of the managers of both parties regarding the woman vote are so indef- mite as to disqualify their reasons for asserting any party advantage in the dis tribution of it. There does seem to be more justification for the democratic claim that greater numbers of women favor the League of Nations than are opposed to it. Consequently, the dem- ocratic hope depends largely upon the accuracy of their predictions

Gen. Richardson Returns
(Ketchikan Chronicle)


Dispatches today tell of the departure from Seat
tie for the North of General Wilds P. Richardson
for many years head of the Alaska Road Commission
the officer who rose from Lieutenant to General
while in service in Alaska and who gave such a
splendid account of himself during the Great War
Truly romantic figure of the North is that
of General Richardson, dating back to his arrival
az Fort Egber at about the time of the Klondike
rush, to his departure for Northern Russia as a com
front. His titles varied as his friends rang
ing from the early settlers of the Yukon river
who called him Lieutenant throughout his whole
career to the chechaco who knows him only as Col
onel General.
Many of the sourdoughs who settled along the
Yukon river in the late SOS and early COS and
who first knew General Richardson as "Lieuena
and knew him for many years SUCH refuse even
now to think of him by any other title The same
and Major, up.
There is question that General Richardson s
life interests have been in Alaska. He has lived it,
talked 1t and thought it so many years that he has
not known complete happiness since he left it, De-
spite many obstacles, he made much Roadway as a
roadbuilder in Alaska, increased his friends to
number legion and now through choice as well as
made commander of Camp Lewis, that he NAV be
near his friends of the Pacific Coast and the North
lie certainly will receive rousing welcome in
Alaska IN appreciation of past services in the North
and because of his excellent war record
