regarded as fully as good as cotton.
In fact the relief to the copper in
dustry is likely indirectly at least to
relieve the cotton-growing industry
1t may relieve some other industries.
1t certainly will enable some of the
nations across the sea more specify
to restore their industries and to per-
feet their transportation system, es-
pecially those which depend upon cleo
tricity as the motive power. This now
perfected plan is also of interest be-
cause it demonstrates that the leaders
of our industries and those who Greet
our finances are again showing them
selves competent skilfully to handle
problems involving the maintenance
and increase of our foreign trade
Probably at the end Of the year of
1921 the authorities at Washington
will report great increase during the
year in the exports of refined cop
per. In all probability they will also
report an increase in the exports of
all our manufactured commodities. Yet
there must be a very lively foreign
trade, represented by exports of manu-
featured articles in 1921 if the ex-
ports for this year are equal to the
remarkable and unexpected exports of
manufactured comm odities for 1920. 1t
has caused much surprise that
manufactured commodities which were
exported in 1920 made it possible to
write a new high record. For at one
time during 1920 the presumption was
COMMONLY held that our exports of
the products of American industries
would show considerable falling off
, as compared with similar exports in
the previous year.
G EAJnUNy(y NdAAVTEA (rnVTDEDC
ALL OVER THE WORLD
But instead of falling off there,
was an increase and this is regarded
as all the more remarkable because
we did not export as much foodstuffs
last year as was expected. Foodstuffs
exported in 1920 were not equal in
money value to the exports of food in
1919. In fact the falling off was about
$500, 900, 600. The decline is represented
chiefly by the falling off in {. ex-
port of meat and dairy products.
But if foodstuffs fell off, we did
send across the seas manufactured ar
| ticles the money value of which was a
| little over $1,000, 100000 greater than
| that of the exports of manufactures in
| 1919. 1t was not to Europe chiefly
| that these products of our industries
were exported. Other parts of the
word DouSnt mere manuI&tureu ar
| ticles in an amount far in excess of
| the figures which were given in mid
summer of last year as the estimates
of the experts. South America Asia,
Oceanica bought heavily of our manu-
| featured commodities. All the indica-
| tions justify the belief that this heavy
export of manufactured articles will
continue and probably will increase
during the year 1921. Now that the
copper producers have discovered, the
way by which the marketing of pro-
ducts in other lands can be facilitated
very likely other industries will take
heed of the example set by these cop
per producers.

Alaba ma. The pickets and their lead
ers are in open defiance of the law.
They are inactive only because they
are restrained by the presence of the
troops. IL the troops were with
drawn, we have every reason to be-
lieve that the piclSets would become
active Immediately with the result
ing conflicts between the working
miners and the nonworking miners.
Rioting and bloodshed would newt
ably follow
. There is no serious difference be-
tween the operators and their former
employees. The only difference of con-
sequence between the operators and
the striking miners, and the real
cause of the strike is the simple ques-
ton of recognition by the operators
of the union known as the United
Mine Workers Of America. That was
the finding of the state coal commits
sion, which investigated the matter
last fall.
'''I can see only two immediate
remedies for the existing situation:
30. Recognition, direct or indi-
rect, of the United Mine Workers Of
America by the coal operators. Di-
rect recognition means the making
of contracts by and between the OPP
orators and the officers of the United
j. Milne w OTkeTS OIL America 10 COLI
troll the conditions of mine labor. In
direct recognition would be the max
ing of contracts between the opera
tors and the workmen in their mines
which would be accepted by the
United Mine Workers of America as
satisfactory to the organization.
"'(2). Publication of a statement by
the Alabama. labor leaders and their
well-known attorneys to the effect
that they will no longer counsel the
violation of the laws of Alabama
through picketing and otherwise. and
that all workmen should be allowed
to pursue their vocation without in
timidation or molestation, followed
by the immediate withdrawal from
Alabama of the leaders of the United
Nine Workers of America and other
labor agitators from other states.
Such action on the part of the labor
leaders and their lawyers would end
the unhappy situation without an
official declaration from the United
Mine Workers of America and per-
NIT the withdrawal of the soldiers
and their return to their distressed
and anxious families, many of whom
are in sore need of the services of
no law on the statute books to en-
force the adoption of either plan.
The only force that can be used is
the force of public opinion, publicly
and plainly but lawfully expressed.
The question for the people OF Ala
bama to consider is as to how long
they will permit the existence of this
intolerable situation which is costing
the taxpayers of Alabama q hundred
thousand dollars per month. Pub
lie opinion can answer the ques-
ton. Neither party to the controversy
can stand against it. I hope the peo-
pie will speak in plain, positive and
llnmistalSabie terms

MARRIAGE
(Chef Shafer in Judge)

(Chef Shafer in judge
Marriage is a form of spot-welding
Every one thinkers with it at one time
o. another.
Some marry for money and get
poor cooking. Others marry a good
cook and get their own meals. :
Marriage gives man a lot of re-
sponsibilities and other eventualities.
1t gives woman chance to forget
her powder puff and not be worried
about it.
Ministers perform marriage cere-
monies. That the business is not so
lucrative as string -butchering is evil
idenced by the number of pastors who
walk TO work.
Marriage is the result of talking in
fsubdued tones.
1t involves two souls with but
single thought and no conception of
the explosive power of the onion.
With marriage two hearts beat as
one
! Afterwards the pulse goes back to
normal. the groom goes back to work,
ana the bride goes back to mother.
It's the same in poker as in mar
riage. Everything depends on the
draw.
A few married folks put their mon
ey IN a home.
! The courts put it in a lawyers
-home.
To be married is to be soldered,
hooked up, spliced, dashed, horned,
Imoored, bumped off, slicked. gyped,
spiked and hog-tied.
Marriage is like using a telephone
Frequently one gets the wrong num-
her
Marriage leaves the porch swing to
the tender mercies of the evening
lbreeze.
Before marriage the fiance hates to
go home. After marriage, also.
Marriage is followed by the honey
Imoop Then the wolf.
The woman, when it is done, dis
covers that she could have done bet
ter.
The man discovers that, financially,
he is six ounces lighter than a tumble
weed.
And he also learns, if he made the
prediction that he was going to rule
the ranch, that he measured wrong.

THE TRULY GOOD
walt Mason in Judpe)


Oh, play your game of marbles,
lads, right roundly, while you may;
for soon, in all our native grads,
they'll take our sport away. The
Truly Good have gone afeld to rid
this world of sin, they'll pinch the
hoops you long have wheeled, and stop
your merry din.
The Truly Good are bilious DANES,
and lank, side-whiskered men, who'll
rob us of our harmless games, and put
US in the pen.
With skipping robes, We little maids,
so forth while and play; the Truly
Good are making raids on all such
games today
The Truly Good are tiresome folk,
who think joy is a crime; they hold it
sin to laugh and joke and have bully
time.
Most people work, day after day, to
make kettle boil; they have but little
time to play, their stunt is honest toll.
But when the Sabbath day arrives,
they take their motor carts, and load
therein their aunts and wives, and
leave the towns and marts; they tour
the country roads, gadzooks, inhale
the fragrant breeze. and sermons see
in running brooks, and m the stones
and trees.
It's something they look forward to,
these pleasant Sunday drives, when
Mother Nature they may view, beside
their aunts and wives; the children
see a thousand things that fill their
souls with glee, and they are happier
than kings, if happy kings there be.
The Truly Good look on and weep,
and say, while wagging ears: "The
holy Sabbath they should keep in pen
itence and tears! Upon their auto
seats they perch, with hearts as hard
as stone, when they should spend nine
hours in church, and hear the pastor
drone! Their wickedness is coarse and
raw, it's-w worse than a diseased Well
have to pass a dark blue law forbid
ding crimes like these"
We used to laugh, as people should,
at cranks and all their sass; but now,
| it seems, the Truly Good are really
cutting grass. They've cut out all the
FLOWING bowls and beverages pink, and
now men seek the swimming holes
when they would have a drink.
Oh, little chicken, spin the top, and
Ifiy the paper kite, for soon the Truly
Good will stop all infantile delight
And, weary father, smoke your
pipe in comfort, while you may, the
days at hand. the time is ripe, when
it will fade away. The Truly Good
have now decreed a war on all such
joys, they say tobacco is a weed that
our souls health destroys.
And take the children to the show,
while shows NAV yet be seen. for soon
the censors will throw their blight
upon the screen.
And read the novels you adore
while novels may be bought, for soon
you'll be compelled to pore DER CEN
sored tommyrot. The Truly Good
around US chase, as they're busy in
the land, to make this world dreary
place that no sane man can stand"

All over the country people are
saying Woodrow Wilson's plans for
world peace would have failed be-
cause they are too idealistic. But
can you show any place in history
where a great mans ideals have been
fully tried? When this world steps
down TO the brink of the waters of
altruism, it always shivers and steps
back 1t has never even wet its feet
in the wavelets, let alone tried the
Temperature of the depths.
