WHO IS A DOMESTIC ENEMYw
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 I1fNlHE difficulty of the department of
 justice in dealing with the rad
 icals who are now preaching bol- sbevism and seeking to foment revolu- tion in this country for the overturn of the system of government arises from the fact that there has never been a statutory definition of the domestic enemy" Sedition laws have been passed in time of war, but the statute books of the United States have never borne an enactment which defines the degree of criticism and agitation permissible in country of free speech and free press.
 Heretofore all efforts to secure such a have been thwarted by the obstacle of un willingness on the part of Congress to limit freedom of speech and publica- ton. It would seem, however, that the matter is not so hard as 1t has been made to appear. There is, Of course elsewhere. That is. there is no sucn freedom as to permit a person to say III public whatever he wishes to say re- gardless of morals or effect upon the public safety. There are laws against profanity which are occasionally en- forced. There are laws against islander. There are laws also prohibiting threats against the bodily security or the welfare of others.
 No law can be enacted and maintained pr rohibiting advocacy of change of gov ernment by lawful, orderly procedure. 1T anybody in this country wishes to pro- pose and urge the establishment of a monarchy or an anarchy by change or the constitution he is at liberty to do so' assuming always that he makes ms appeal in terms of the processes ol amendment now established.
 But it is entirely different matter
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-02-18

to propose change by force, by revolu- tion, by stealth and seditious under mining. That is what the boishevik paganda-accrediting it to foreign the man who addressed an audience in this city the other night, are trying to start a revolution, trying to overthrow the existing form of government by force. Such a person is undoubtedly domestic enemy and should be prevented from preaching his doctrines openly.
 If law were enacted making such definition it would be within the right or any person to stand upon platform or a soap box or any other forum and praise bolshevism and it's leaders, to extol the virtues of those who have set up an archial governments elsewhere, and by to work for the establishment of such a system here, provided he besought them to strive to this end through the regular orderly change of the funoa- mental law. But step beyond that an appeal for change by force or betrayal or any means other than constitutionai amendment through the established pro- cesses would be sedition, punishable oy whatever penalties the law might impose , Under such law it would remain for the courts to determine whether per son accused had gone beyond the leslu- mate boundary of agitation into the realm of sedition. Such questions can we'll be left to the court. The present situation, however cannot be safely per mitted to remain. There must be some safeguard against the free speech
 which seeks violent overturn, which aims to make the minority master and to sup vert the rights of the majority of the people To that end domestic enemy
 law should be promptly enacted.

Fine Work of Chairman

There are chairmen and chairmen' but the best chairman I have ever worked under is Jay Smith, who is the chairman of the board of stewards of Highlands Methodist church, who planned and organized the tower cam paign which has held the attention of Highlands Methodist church, as well as the city of Birmingham, the past few days" said R. A. Lewis.
 Not only has the organization made by Mir. Smith been accurate and defi- mite, but it has been organized on mili- tary lines, a replica of the allied arr mics organization during the war. Di- visions, teams, captains-all under a colonel of the regiment-Dr. c. 5. Glenn-all reporting to the general Mir. Smith.
 The opening gun last Tuesday even ing was fired when the Womans Mis- sionary society entertained 200 or more members of Highlands Methodist church at supper and inspirational talks were made by Dr. Hendrix, pr. Glenn, Lieutenant Governor Miller, Mrs. Ernest Redd, president of the Woman S Missionary society, Mrs. Paul Wright and Mir. M. A. Myatt, and it was the most enthusiastic gathering of Method ists I have ever seen in Highlands church."

LUKE M'LUKn SAYS

What has become of the old-fash- toned liar who used to brag that he never told a lie to his wife:
 No man ever gets to be such a tight wad that he won't cheerfuly givc you . cure for the rheumatism.
 A man never realizes how many rela- tives one human being can have until he has seen all of his brides kin lined up at his wedding.
 The man who goes to an affinity for sympathy when he is in trouble mere- ly acquires more trouble.
 Why does the woman who uses too much powder look with suspicion on the woman who uses too much paint?
 Perhaps women would not try to act so manly if they knew how much men admire womanly woman.
 You can't get rid of your stenog- rapher by marrying her. You merely reverse matters and let her do the dc tating.
 There are lots of ways to borrow trouble. But the easiest way Is te elope with another mans wife. A reformer is usually man who criticises other men for doing openly what the reformer likes to do on tho Quist
 oncs in . while an ill-natured hus. band has ono good reason for beina that way.
 Men are hypocritical in many ways but they do not 70 around kissing eacf other.
 A man has to be sick before he will take care of himseif. That 10 the req. con why doctors look prosperous. When she begins calling you by your your last neme.

Winis J. Milner,
Birmingham Builder


 WiIlis J. Milner,
 Birmingham Builder
 INTO true history of Birmingham LIN has been or could be written that failed to have the name of Will lis J. Milner on many pages. He fig ured prominently in laying the foun- dations on which Birmingham rests today.
 Birmingham owes the beautiful curves of Highland avenue to Major Miner. Fortunate it was for the young city that from it's very birth it had a skilled and conscientious en- pineer to see that the lines which the metropolis was to follow were symmetrically Laid out.
 As manager of the Elyton Land company. Major Milner directed the energies of that corporation along all it's qualifications and was prominent and forceful in every early enterprise, He was one of the organizers of the First National bank. He and few other pioneers financed and directed the early furnace operations that proved the fitness of Red mountain ores for foundry iron purposes. He laid out and built the Birmingham Belt Line, Highland avenue car line and surveyed and built the Birming- ham waterworks system. Everything thAt he touched lasted and came down the corrido3 of time with the stamp of approval that test and experience alone ean affix.
 A natise-of Georgia, he served gal lantiy ss . Confederate soldier ane officer, and when the war was ovel set hin face with equal courage t the future. He helped build the Nortl and South railroad and it was incl dent to that occupation that he fore saw tho possibilities of Birmingham which caused him to locate here witt his brother, John T. Miner.
 In private life the gentlest of men kind to a degree, learned yet mod ct, he mixed with his fellows in thu most unobtxusive fashion, but ht served well and Birmingham know! that.

"lt is always good to see children enrolled in the work of saving chil- dren," said Dr. George Eaves. "So when 1 learned that the Present Day club of ladies, who represent all parts of residential Birmingham, are to spon- sor an entertainment by. young folks at the Tutwiler hotel on February 25, the entire proceeds to go to swell the fund for the home and school for tu- berculous children (The Mary Rumph MemoriaD, I was glad.
 Not that I fear any failure of Bir- mingham to put up the money when the time comes, but because some can give in one way and some another, and young folks are seldom moneyed peo- pie. And there will certainly be big bills to pay.
 Doubtless, too, the work in this en- tertainment will be most artistically done. The clubs name is a guarantee of that. So let us back up the project and be grateful. It comes as free will gift. May delicacy, good taste and energy be crowned with gold!'

T was certainly shocked to hear of the death of Major w. J. Miner" said John R. Hornady, city commissioner. His death removes the last of that original group so instrumental in the early development of Birmingham, the founders of the Elyton Land company.
 Major Milner was greatly instru- mental in the building of the Birming- ham waterworks, and was behind many other great civic improvements. He was one of the first to see the great potentialities of development in the Birmingham district. His death re- moves the last of the pioneer citizens who helped start Birmingham off"
