THREE HARRY MEN

Edmund Leamy in the New York Sun. They came from only God knows where Three tarry, blue-eyed men. They blundered through the swaying
 train
 They cmptyshrdletaoshrdle To empty seats-and then Forgotten talk of long age
 I listened to again. They spoke of rising storms and tides or heaving decks and sesrs. Of Port Soudan and Port au Prince. Seychelles and Hebrides, Of lonely hours in doldrum calm, And unsolved mysteries. Their talk was thick with briny oaths And some of it was lies: They warned of captains, crews and
 ships. Far seas, and ports. and skies--~ But splendid peace and happiness Shone deep in their blue eyes. And each one knew whate'cr his talk, Though cursed as fiend and foe-- The sea was dearer to them all,
 And at her word would go Each mothers son. flor none could fail When she lured signing low. So from the train they numbered off With worn and battered grips. With curses they were leaving port But smiles upon their lips. Down, down the twisting ways to
 where
 There lay the waiting ships.

Lend the Credit

Reports from over the state indi- cate that the second amenimsnt. known as the county river amendment, win win overwhelmingly at the Gee tion Tuesday, declared F. Wilkinson yesterday. q think the people of the state are thoroughly convinced now of the importance of waterway deveiop- |ment within Alabama. and I think that the Mobile seaport amendment will also be adopted by tremendous nia- jority.
 ''The second amendment merely pro- |vides that the people of Jefferson eoun- ty shall have the right to vote on a question of local self-government. It really seems that there. should not Le any votes cast against the proposition. Should the voters of this county Ie- eide in an election to be held later that they wanted to lend the credit of the county to providing. needed term nal and transportation facilities at the Port of Birmingham. it would not ct st anyone outside this county cont 4 nd judging by the result of similar acts in other counties throughout the roun |try. it would never cost the tax payers of this county anything. as the revenre would probably pay the interest on the bonds and also return the principal.

From the New York Tribune.
 NN H wish that Max Beesoohm or our WNW own Clarence Day would draw
 w cartoon of Mr. Wells in his re- cently struck attitude of snubbing the mast. That universal history into which MT. Wells has thrown his usual energy and wisdom and imagination is nne thing, but we own to a real irritation at those passages wherein the heroes of history arc put in their places for not doing or inventing things which any schoolboy of today with srnattering or the science method could turn off with his left hand.
 We did not suppose that any ono could make the scientific attitude hateful. but MT. Wells comes perilously close to do- ing it. The tendency to make myths out of history, with the consequent expan- sion of conspicuous individuals into world-bestriding heroes. needs counter ac- ton. it can gladly be conceded. Also the Alexandrian Greeks were, doubtless, ter rible dubs for not inventing printing or at any rate device for rolling tneir scrolls back and forth, as Mir. Wells sus- rests. But zeal for the truth has Led 10 an underestimate of heroes and an ex- aggeration of our presentTday wisdom Are not all ages dubs in most respects!

Recalls the Days
 "Bleedingo Kansas

OA . n PRESS dispatch is to the effect A that the farmers of southern Nebraska may be forced to burn some of their corn in fire grates this win ter on account of the high price of coal. According to this report, the low-priced corn would be more eco- nomical.
 1t is very seldom that these evil prophecies of forthcoming distress in agricultural communities are realized. but the suggestion does recall time when corn and wheat also were burned in stoves and grates and in the fire boxes of locomotives in the far west. That was before the growers of these staples were organized, and they were dependent on whatever was offered them by the mill men.
 Those were the times of "sockless" Jerry Simpson and "whiskered" Pfef- fer, when much was heard of "bleed- ing" Kansas. The Kansas farmers had not yet gotten together and built their grain elevators and held the grain until the millers came for it. Now Kansas farmers own more auto mobiles than the farmers of any oth- CT state.
 If the farmers of southern Ne braska burn corn in grates this win ter, it will be because they are not organized as are the farmers of the other western states. It would be a travesty on their farming methods if they do revive the burning of corn as fuel and earn the sobriquet which Kansas has long ago thrown off by caring for herself.
 The chances are that the report emanated from some imaginative ob- server who saw farmer burning corn cobs in his grates. It is ten to one shot that all the Nebraska cobs that go into fires will have no grain left on them.

MIR. WELLSS CONDESCENSION

Wisdom after the event is sadly cheap commodity, is the broad answer to such writing. The career of Napoleon may have been accidental and meaning less, as MT. Wells implies; so are most adventures, most achievements, of the human race. The point is that through his scientific prepossession Mir. Wells overestimates enormously the possible in- fluence of conscious design, foresights in the destiny of peoples. He underesti- mates grievously the importance of sub. conscious achievements by individuals and races And judging his heroes and races by this false standard he Is in- evitably condescending.
 AS a matter of fact, no cares have eveg achieved a rounded success. The excel- lencies of Greece were counterbaianced by obvious failings Rome contributed much and subtracted much. Are we q the twentieth century in any position ts snub these partial successes merely be- cause we have put through an amazingly swift achievement in the narrow fields q science and material progress? Most foln are feeling shade modest these dayA we think, and only colossal and innoE. tai Cockney, bestriding the Thames. couA look back to the Parthenon and Stone henxe and Ghizeh in any other spirit

Tumulty's Intimate
 Sketch of His Chief

IT OSEPH F. HUMILITY as secre- 0 tary to the President, has kept himself well in the background as modesty required, but in speech de- livered Thursday night he lifted the veil and depicted the trials of his chief with an intimate knowledge gained in loyal service covering period of ten years. What he said was delicately phrased and through it all was a note of profound pathos.
 The public had known Woodrow Wilson as constructive statesman. and a fearless leader, but the tender ness of his heart and the sincerity of his purpose in all heroic enter prises could be known only to one oc- cupying the confidential relations that MT. Humility held. He understood his mental processes, his moods and his burning passion for peace. A key to the attitude of the President as a patriot and man whose soul rang true might be found in this sentence which the secretary quoted the Pres ident as saying: 'T want people to love me, but they never will"
 When MT. Wilson addressed great assemblies he never failed to win the plaudits of his hearers. In the war period he had the people behind him. The masses responded quickly to his appeals. Yet he felt himself all but overwhelmed by the shadow of the bloody drama about tb be enacted on I the field of war. Sick at heart at the thought of terrible sacrifices to fol- low, he never for moment flinched. The war had to be waged for the country's sake-waged for truth and righteousness.
 The President did his full duty. but in the doing his strength was overtaxed, and today as Mir. Humility pictures him, he is bowed with pre- mature age; an old man at 63.
 Thousands of good Americans be- lieve in Woodrow Wilson as ardently as they did when he entered upon his executive duties; but the shame of it is that many have been so lacking in gratitude to the democratic party for the splendid part 1t played in the war under the guidance of the com mander in chief that they are actually doing what they can to thwart the purposes of Mir. Wilson in the crown

Highland Avenue.

"I have a very attractive residence on Highland avenue, which I built and in which I lived for some year." said E. w. Barrett yesterday. Since build- ing another home farther out have
 offered this property for sale and have put it in the hands of practical ly every real estate man in Birming- ham. I have yet to receive an offer on it. The residence is on one of the most attractive corners on Highland avenue. would, thersfore, ask what is the matter with Birmingham real estate? It was only a few years ago when Highland avenue property was the most sought after in Birmingham. Yet today nobody seems to want to buy anything in that section. Why not let the Highland avenue owners get together and make a business street of it. Is it matter worth the consideration of those people who own property thereT'

 Every one of the thousands of su- tomobile owners in Birmingham should be member of the club now. The ad- vantages which the club offers its members have been demonstrated ir many ways, and we hope before this campaign is over to have far rnors representative membership
