!METHOD|STS NEED LARGER BUILDING West End Church Is to Have An Addition in Near
 Future

The West End Methodist Church is planning for the erection of new church building at an outlay of s75,- 900.
 Several years ago one unit of a new building was completed. Last year the final payment on it was made. The rapid growth of this church, especially the development of the Sunday school work, has made necessary certain changes in the plan for the completed structure. This plan has been care fully worked out and the contemplat ed building will be one of the most com plete and commodious church build ings in Birmingham
 When this building Is erected the whole will represent an outlay of about $10o,000. Every department of the church work will be provided for and arrangements made to take care of future expansion. The overcrowded condition of the Sunday school a pres ent, the impossibility of assembling the congregation for worship the linn ited facilities for doing the work that is called for in the field, make lAe early construction of the building im- perAtive.
 A capable building committee has been appointed and is now working out the prelminaries to the campaign. The drive for subscriptions will begin today During the week it is expected that every member of the church will be seen and solicited. The congre- gaton, 1t is expected, will respond to this call with characteristic liberality-

blind not to recognize that public
opinion the country over not only in
the Republican party. but in the
Democratic party as well. has been
settling down to the conviction that.
to safeguard the interests of this
country, some reservations are
necessary. Now. to this very eti-
dent public opinion may be added
the strong intimation from our chief
allies in the war that they would
not object even to the Lodge reser-
vations
So, why should the President hold
out so stiffly and thereby render it
impossible to ratify the Treaty and
save what may be saved IF the origi-
nal plan for the League of Nations :?
IL 1t is impossible to secure all he
desires from the Senate. why not ac-

better than nothing at all?

1t relieves him none to say that SEN

undoubtedly was not altogether free
from that. but in arriving at it's own
conclusions it was well within its
rights in the matter. Moreover,
when we consider that what it was
ready to do was agreeable to other
parties to the league, the obstinacy
of the President becomes very con-
spicuous
When he condemns the Lodge
reservations as utterly inconsistent
with the nations honor" he either is
using a kind of judgment not credit

making use of words which he knows
to be false. The charge is prepos-
ferrous. Those who have acquain ted
themselves with the conditions know
this TO be so; they may wish to know
why the President is now trying to
use the treaty as a political club
In this view of the situation it is
pertinent to note that Hamaker in

A Third Party.


The shadow of a third party has
been moving across the back of the
stage, now threatening to come down
to the footlights, now almost dis
appearing from sight if noe from
mind, ever since the 1920 presiden-
tial campaign became active. 1t was
understood from the first that If
third party should be formed it
would consist of radicals. variously
grouped as government ownership
men, socialists of all shades, labor
ties and communists, reds and boil
sheviks, parlor and otherwise.
The movement toward the COM
bined political action of these ele-
ments has been gaining headway
the nucleus of the party has already
been formed and its plans are made.
The committee of IS" which COM
prises the "intelligenzia" and which
heads the move, has created a work
ing alliance with Townley's nom
partisan league, John Fitzpatrick
labor party and with more or less
well-known farmers union. The
non partisan league already has
sufficient reputation for radicalism
TO assure it place in such an organi-
zation as the third party promises
10 be. John Fitzpatrick made his
reputation through his connection
with the steel strike of last fall.
Other leaders of the move are of the
kind that should mix well with
these.
The candidates which the new
party intends to put up are Senator
La Toilette for president and Frank
. Walsh, late of the war labor board,
for vice president. 1t is not the
present plan to announce these
candidates at an Independent con-
vention, but those who are behind
the scheme hope for some such
spectacular event at the coming Re-
publican convention as occurred in
1912 when the Bull Moose party was
born. They are counting on the old
guard machine to try to steam roll
the convention, and on the unseat-
ing of the la Toilette delegates
I>x, m o.
on credentials. If these two things
happen, the stage will be set for La
Toilette to walk out at the head Of
his delegation. Whether the party
thus to be formed will go ahead
with its own nominations depends
on whom the Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions nominate. Should
either of them pick a man favorable
TO government ownership, and the
various panaceas made familiar by
radical literature, he will probably
have the support Of this group. AT
present, however, they admit that
they do not see much hope among
the lists of candidates Of either party
with the possible exception of Hiram
Johnson, and even he may not meet
their approval unless he comes out
squarely for government ownership
of railroads.
What the effect of a third party's
injection into the already tangled
maze Of this years politics will be
can only be guessed, but the leaders
of neither the Republican or Demo-
cratic parties appear to be appre-
hensive respecting it.

Using Nations Honor as Political
Weapon

1t was conceded that but for pres
sure exerted by President Wilson
two thirds of the Senate on March
18th would have voted for the treaty
with the so-called Lodge reserva-
tions. AS it was. 40 out of the 81 voted
for the reservations. Twenty one
Democrats resisted the urge from the
White House and voted for the reser
yations. Twenty Democrats were fav-
orable to the treaty but at the last re-
fused to vote for the reservations,
These and three Democratic and
twelve Republican "irreconcilables"
made upS the thirty-five voting in
opposition. Thus it is evident that a
large majority of the United States
Senate, which shares with the Presi-
dent the responsibility of treaty
making, would have approved a
treaty and a league that would have
met with the approval of the other
parties to the league, would have
ended the war, would have put an
end to the wartime privileges ex-
ercised by the President, also TO the
terrible extravaganza, opportunity
for which our present anomalous
condition affords.
President Wilson, who did not hes
itate to yield to his allies far more
of the position originally taken by
him than he would have been re-
quired to do by the reservations
sought by the Senate, remained OBJ
