THE BLUNDERS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

 The Secretary of the Treasury tells Congress that unless expenditures are curbed and revenues kept up the country faces the probability of another Liberty Loan. Repeated warnings have been is sued against speculation.

 Early in the period Following the armis- tice German industrial workers saw the folly of shortening their working day at Ia time whom tho whole world was calling for increased production. A movement Is now reported on foot to outlaw industrial strikea
 Public opinion in the United states would not support a proposal to deprive industrial workers of their right to strike. The purpose behind the suggestion in Germany, however, is sound. If the Ger mans accept the inhibition and continue to work as they have begun, the indus triaf productiveness of the nation lately |yanouished on the field of battle may as- tonish the world.
 The allied powers propose to keep a sharp eye on Germany. knowing her in of her late wrongdoing. They should also keep an eye on her for another reason, lest she outstrip the world in the race for industrial rehabilitation. The only cure for the ills of four years of fighting is work. Doubling everybody's s pay and halving everybodys working day will not solve the problem.

Great Religion. Meeting

T think can say without any hes-
 tation that the conference of the
 Interchurch movement at Atlantic City
 was the greatest religious gathering
 have ever attended in the point of
 Size and the eminence of the dele
 gates,' said Dr. John MacSporran, pas
 tor of the First Presbyterian Church
 of this city. 'In breadth and purpose it was an epoch making gathering.
 It's deliberations were characterized by la high sense of fraternal regard, and there was total absence of anything which gave the slightest intimation that any of the evangelical bodies rep resented had any other thought than to make the denominational work of them all the more effective along so- cial and religious lines. It was truly a heartening thing to see and hear Americas picked religious leaders en- deavoring to formulate a constructive platform upon which the various churches could be united without sac rificing in any way their own denom- inationa1ism."

Danger of Apathy

steps should be taken to create a renewed interest in the $25, ,000, 900 bond issue for road improvements as the time for the people of Alabama to pass on it draws nearer said Clar- ence Lloyd. While there is no doubt but that the bond issue will be ap- proved by the voters if the public is made thoroughly acquainted with the issue, but there is danger of apathy. as in all elections of this kind
 "One of the most important things is the necessity of informing all farm CTS and other property holders that the bond issue will not increase taxes in any way. Motor licenses at the pres ent rate will pay principal. interest and maintenance expenses and the S25,- 100000 bond issue will be matched by the government with s25,00o, ,00o more. which will assure the state of Alabama with $50 0o0.000 worth of good roads,

More Money From Dogs

@'-gfC 1hOHSg ENOh hOD"
 ''The new 1a- under which dogs are being taxed by the county will bring moro revenue to the county and very much larger amount to the state than under the old law" stated Sam Blake yesterday
 The entire revenue under the old law. where party assessed the dog in his regular tax return. brought only about s4o3. while so far under the new law there have been approxi- mately 54oo dogs registered and licenses paid. Counting s1.25 for the male dogs and se.25 for the female, this will mean large revenue to both the county and the state. Out of this amount the county receives the added 25 cents and the state the s1 and s2 assessed on the dogs. Thus it can be seen that the county so far will re- ceive approximately s1s5o. which is more than three times the revenue under the old law
 There is still also a large number of dogs that have not been registered, and from present indications half as many more will be registered. The people of the county. under the new law. are more particular about the dog tax. for one of the provisions is that the dog will be shot unless 1t wears tag"

Looks Like Good
 Year for Alabama

1 1OROSPEROUS as was Alabama 4 in 1919, present indications point to even greater activity in all lines in 1920. Reports coming :n from the towns and cities of the state tell of new industries being To- Icated, contracts for road and street improvements being awarded, prep arations under way for charging the already important cattle industry in the state, and for general improve ments in all lines.
 l President Wild of one of the Eu- faula banks announces that he will purchase a carload of fine cattle for exhibition at the Chattahoochee Dairy Day, January 22, at Eufaula, which will be distributed among the farmers after they have served their purpose at the exhibition.
 From Mobile comes the report that several carloads of cattle have been purchased in the west to be placed on farms in that vicinity.
 Hog sales have been held at a number of places and, although prices are not as high as year ago, the farmers are not discouraged, and state they will continue to raise hogs.
 Sylacauga, hopeful of landing sev- eral small industries. is making ar. arrangements for cheap power for use in their operation. Among these is a cotton mill with several thousand lspindles.
 l Negotiations are pending, witt Ievery prospect of early consumma ltion, that will bring . number of di |versified industrial plants to Bir lmingham, representing in the aggre Igate several hundred thousands ol dollars.
 l It looks like good year for Ala lbama and those who keep in clos' touch with affairs say it will take [ lbig financial or industrial depression Ito make it otherwise.

Salvation Army Lassie Is Due to Disappear

THE passing of the Salvation S Army lassie will remove pie turesque figure from the streets. For many years half century, accord ing to one authority-the girl and the tambourine, and the uniform, have been familiar. Night after night an earnest band of workers have conducted their open-air services on street corners. They rarely ever made good music, but no one could question their sincerity and it is creditable to human nature that they always commanded respect, even among passersby who had no faith in their teaching.
 Now all is to be changed. The old, haphazard plan of taking up street collections, in itself an uncertain and precarious way of financing an or ganization which has become world wide, has been supplanted by the modern campaign method of raising money.
 Henceforth the Salvation Army will have business organization like that of the Red Cross and when it needs funds will not depend on the tambourine or drum, but will launch "drive." The last Salvation Army adrive" was great success, except, alas, in some parts of the country, and every future undertaking of the sort deserves to succeed.
 The Salvation Army now occupies sixty-three countries and colonies, is preaching in forty languages, has nearly ten thousand corps and out posts, maintains one thousand two hundred and thirty-one social institu- tions, six hundred and fifty eight day schools, twenty-two naval and military homes and publishes eighty periodicals, with total of one mil lion one hundred and eighty-four thousand six hundred and fifty-three copies per issue.
 The Salvation Army lassie will be missed. She added bit of color to many sordid scene. In haunts of squalor and darkness, she was a symbol of righteousness and regsn- eration. To thousands of friendless outcasts, men as well as women, the Salvation Army has reached out a friendly and a helping hand.
