A FILIPINO BOSS

E. Alexander Powell, in Harper's Magazine
 for November.
 The average Filpinos conception of inde- pendence is well illustrated by a story which was told me in Manila. provincial political boss, who had been a candidate, but had been overwhelmingly defeated at the polls burst into his party headquarters, shortly after the results of the election had been announced, livid with rage. "Im for independenceV' he bel lowed. "I'm for independence at oncel If only these cursed Americanos were out of here, I'd come into town with thousand of my bolo men and wipe out the gang that defeated me and get the governorship. It's all the fault of the damned interfering Americanos. They're always insisting on law and order! Viva la independencia"
 Now that man, opera bouffe as he may seem, represents the sentiments of by no means inconsiderable number of Filipino politicians. Such men, in order to attain their selfish ends, would prefer to see the Philippines saddled with the brand of independence" that Mexico enjoyed under the rule of Carranza or that Russia is enjoying today under Lenine and Trotzky, to the reign of decency, justice, and security which Lord Cromer gave to the Egyp- tians.
 As matter of fact, the Filipinos are already as free, under the existing form of government, as the people of Canada and South Africa and Australia and they enjoy what experience and impartial observers have declared to be the most just, the most honest, and the most ad- vanced government in the world, but to this truth they stubbornly close their eyes, insist ing that they must have independence in name as we'll as in substance.

l NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE
 ARMS CONFERENCE AT WASHING TON

with old-time diplomacy. He has been a cor poration lawyer and well trained in legal de- lays. Senator Lodge is trained politician, a lawyer and has been ambitious to become sec retary of state, and once sought the presidency Both Lodge and Root might be given to devote months of time to the Armament Conference.
 Hughes and Underwood, on the other hand have evidently made up their minds what they want to do; and Hughes has already, yesterday, outlined practical method of procedure
 He wants to abandon the building of cap ital ships at once. He wants to scrap the older ships, and limit the existing naval strength of all the powers coacernned in the conference. Tn other wards he wants to cut the navies of the their present capital ship tonnage.
 In this proposition Mir. Hughes has presented a practical and business-like programme. If the other countries accept it, it will be an easy matter for the naval experts of the several countries, who are attending the conference, to work out the details.
 It was our government, through President Harding, which called this conference in Wash ington. Every country invited responded and every foreign delegation has expressed desire to get together to bring about practical form of curtailment of it's navies, and above all, to bring about lasting peace.
 The only way to do 1t is by curtailment of armies and navies and weapons of warfare. The more you train men to fight and to manu- facture materials of war the more desirous they will be to fight and to use these materials.
 We have much to expect of this arms confer ence if the representatives in it show clear heads and practical common sense.

BRANDON FOR GOVERNOR

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Your editorial with regard to the candidacy of Judge William w. Brandon for governor has undoubtedly received universal approval, and as one who has supported and worked for his election in the former campaign, l believe that other newspapers would render great service to the state by taking similar stand.
 Judge Brandon was defeated by narrow margin four years ago, and his friends have not only remained loyal but have worked labo- riously in his behalf during the past four years. Thousands who did not support him before now say they will do so against the field, and any opposition to his candidacy would cause useless turmoil, of which this state has had more than it's share during the past few years.
 The voters should look forward to the cleo tion of members of the legislature who will work in harmony with the announced policy of Judge Brandon, and require each candidate to express himself clearly before casting their ballot. Yours very truly,
 ALBERT F. WHITE.

A SuBDuED FEELING

c. T. McElderry of Taladega, delegate to the cooperative marketing meeting held yes- terday, said; q have been preaching organiza- tion of farmers for 40 years. We have failed so often that it reminds me of the country negro who went to town and played craps They got his money, then his watch and then they beat him up. He was asked if he didn't feel 'dscouraged.' His reply was: No, ain't dis couraged, but is kind O subdued like.'
 "But l have confidence in the cooperative maketng plan now decided on following adop- tion of an Alabama law that makes it busi- nesslike procedure. And let me say this, the farmers will stand behind anything that can make showing of results"

AMERICA SHOWS THE WAY
 TO DISARM

If the other powers have questioned Amer ica's sincerity in calling the disarmament con- ference all doubts must have been swept away yesterday when Secretary Hughes made declaration of America's programme for the limitation of naval armament. It is amazingly frank and might well astonish the world by the drectness with which it proposes to establish a naval holiday for ten years and scrap mil lions of dollars worth of war vessels. It is an epoch-making statement of disinterested and unselfish party and exceeds the most sanguine expectations of those who feared that the ference would begin and end in verbal tits which would amount to nothing. Even in this country, the sweeping nature of the American programme will cause both surprise and grati- fication.
 It is proposed that America, Great Britain and Japan immediately destroy 66 capital ships with total tonnage of nearly 2,00o,000 tons; that within three months after the pro- posed agreement is entered into the capital ships of Great Britain be 22, of America IS and Japan 10. The maximum tonnage of capital ship tonnage would eventually be limited to 500,0oo for Great Britain, 5Oo,o00 tons for America and 300000 tons for Japan. Subject to the 10-year limitation replacements are to be made to conform to these requirements for first-line ships. Provisions made for cruisers, flotilla leaders and destroyers, as well as airplane carriers and other auxiliary craft, but in each instance 1t is the purpose of the American plan to keep this country and Great Britain on an equal footing, with Japan third. No recommendations are made regarding the naval strength of France and Italy, because of certain conditions due to the World war and the belief that the tonnage allowances of these nations can be discussed later.
 Without going into technical details 1t is clear that the American programme will mark a tremendous step forward If it is agreed to by the other powers concerned. It is the most drastic and comprehensive declaration of the kind ever made. It is powerful blow dealt at the wasteful and destructive practice among nations of competing in armaments.
 When President Harding said yesterday, "Gentlemen of the conference, the United States welcomes you with unselfish hands. We harbor no fears; we have no sordd ends to serve; we suspect no enemy; we contemplate or apprehend no conquest" truly, as the prin- ciples enunciated by MT. Hughes amply tes- tified.
 Our cards are on the table. Great Britain and Japan know where we stand. What will they do with this opportunity before them to serve mankind?

FROM FARM TO CONSUMER

"In Culman the other day, I saw potatoes fresh from the farm selling for 27 cents a bushel," said J. 0. Thompsan. Returning to Birmingham I inquired the Morris avenue price to the retailer. It was 85 cents bushel. I went by the retailer and found him selling the potatoes at four and five cents a pound, which is at the rate of $3 per bushel
 "That is what desultory and haphazard mar keting by the producer amounts to. Do you blame me as planter to advocate cooperative marketing?"

I1 AST Sunday this column dealt with the aration for wars.
 It was shown that 93 per cent of the taxes each and every one of us pay to our government annually goes for these purposes.
 Before the World war some 70 per cent of our taxes was expended in this wise. Now we are spending 99 per cent.
 The calling of the arms. conference which met yesterday in Washington promises to prove great blessing to humanity throughout the world. As President Harding so well ex- pressed it in-his opening address, "The world demands sober contemplation of the existing order and the realization that there can be no cure without sacrifice, not by one of us, but by all of us."
 The President has indeed outlined spirit of action that should relieve the people of the great nations of the world from their tremen- dous taxation burdens. It should likewise relieve both other countries and us of Amer ica of the tremendous sacrifices of life and property and suffering among the people conse- quent upon wars and preparation for war.
 It is indeed the time for everyone of us of this country to show eagerness and activity n upholding the hands of our conferees who yes- terday opened the conference with splendid exhibition of determination for successful work.
 There are at least two of the four American conferees who are sturdy, practical and bal- anced men. Neither Secretary Hughes nor Senator Underwood indulges in frills nor fur bellows. Neither is given to oratory nor to diplomacy. They decide what they want to do and go about doing it..

KILLS WILD GEESE

"All my life it seems to me have been chas- ing wild geese but never had an opportunity to kill any before last week when I went up on the Tennessee river beyond Muscle Shoals for hunt" said James F. Hawkins, tax collector of Jefferson county. "There were six men shooting in our party and we killed 30 wild geese, and let me tell you it was grand sport. We were in the real wilds and there on the banks of the river the geese stay and feed and I never saw as many in my life While I en- joyed the hunting trip immensely, I was very glad to get back home again."

 "Most of the travel is by way of the Bee Line highway from Nashville. We are, there fore, glad to have assurance from George Steifelmeyer of Cullman, chairman of the Bee Line Boosters association, that they are doing work on the highway in his county"

ENTHRoNED $50 YEARS

From The Mentor Magazine.
 The Franksh emperor Charlemange sat en- throned $50 years in the church at Aix-la- Chapelle.
 This, however, was after his death. His body was placed upright, clad in the imperial robes and surrounded by appurtenances of office.
 Two hundred years later, according to a chronicler of the times, the Emperor Otto III had the vault opened and paid homage to the dead king. In 1165 the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa again opened the vault and in 1915 the Emperor Frederick II had the remains placed in a casket at the cathedral.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
BEGGARs IN UNIFORM
Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 My attention has been attracted to the num- Der of beggars on the streets of our city, par ticularly during and since the semi-centennirl celebration, who appealing for public aid by wearing parts of our army uniform or gar ments made up to be as near like the uniform as they are able to get or dare to use, evidently with the idea of appealing to the sympathy of our people through the uniform.
 That any man who has the right to wear the uniform of the United States should be forced to beg upon the street corners is an outrage and that anyone who has the right to wear it is in such condition is unthinkabIe.,
 The chance is that most or all of these peo- pie are fakers and should not be permitted to ask charity in this manner The individual has hardly the time, the desire or the facilities to investigate such people and it would seem that our local posts of the American Legion might we'll take, up the two questions involved in this propositions
 (a) The proper relief of any man who has the right to wear our country's uniform. An appeal for aid for any such individuals made by the American Legion would unquestionably enlist the sympathy and support of our citizens.
 (b) The removal from our street corners of all the eharlatans and fakers who throw ing discredit upon our country's uniform by publicly soliciting aims with the uniform part of their stock in trade. Yours very truly,

REMARKABLE STRIDES
 OF HAY PRODUCTION

Hand in hand with the development of the cattle industry in Alabama has been that of hay. The 1921 production is estimated at 1,702,oo0 tons compared with 1,324000 tons in 1920.
 In 1915 the production was 362,000 tons; in 1914 it was 2SS, 900. The production in 1921 was approximately six times that of 1914. The increase shows the progress of agriculture in Alabama.
 The hay crop this year is third in value of field crops, being exceeded only by cotton and corn. It is far ahead of peanuts, sweet pota- toes, syrup, oats and Irish potatoes.
 When Johnson grass hay, which is large part of the production, is standardized graded and comparatively marketed, thus establishing the prestige to which merit entities it, it's im- portance to Alabama will be further demon- strated.
