SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING DURING
 THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL

Birmingham begins her semi-centennial cele- bration at propitious time. Not only this district, but the citizens of all Alabama, are in a mood to celebrate. October finds every in dustry going again after period of depression and there is job for every man in Alabama willing to work.
 The American people have cause to congrat- ulate themselves on the prudence with which they conducted their affairs during the dull season. Merchants pared their profits and bought anew with caution. Manufacturers re- duced production. The nation lived economi- cally and kept it's head. When King Cotton sounded the turn, there was no surplus to be gotten rid of, the incoming crop had been raised at minimum of cost the retailers had bought as they could sell. The sheet was clean and America was prepared to go ahead with q new set of books.
 Alabama is in position to anticipate Thanks giving and this will be the spirit of the semi centennial.

SHOULD CONSOLIDATE FARM
 WORK OF STATE

It is significant of Alsbama's interest in ag- ricultural development along the most scien- tific and efficient lines that no opposition has developed to the plan under way in the state legislature to consolidate the state department of agriculture with the agricultural department at Auburn.
 For a number of years there has been a feel ing that there was much duplication of work by the two departments and that greater re- suits could be accomplished by consolidation and centering the organized agricultural activi- tives of the state at Auburn where the facili- ties at hand not only for scientific research, but for extension work on a scale which already reaches into every precinct of the state.
 The urgent need of such consolidation is al- most universally recognized and this accounts for the absence of opposition to the plan.
 The measure before the legislature provides for constitutional amendment as the present State department of agriculture is constitu- tional office, and there must be constitutional modification before the consolidation with the Auburn department can be accomplished Un- der the plan the amendment would be submitted 90 days after the close of the legislature. If serious objection should be urged three months will give plenty of time for discussion.
 It would, therefore, seem that the legislature should not hesitate to submit the proposal to the people of the state.
 In past years the state department Of agri-  culture has accomplished much good and has done efficient work. It is in great measure, however, the same character of work that the department at Auburn is equipped to perform. By consolidation, therefore, it is believed still greater strides can be made in the development of .A1abama's farm resources--a work which has already added much and in the years to come will add still more to the property values. r1cs perity and happiness of all the people of the state.

PRESENTER OF VENICE

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 General Diaz, soldier as modest as he Is brave, is warrior of the type America is de lighted to honor. Like every man worthy of supreme command, his speech and though are for peace; and in his own words, his belief is "that to realize world peace and concord we must disarm, not only in weapons, but also in the spirit and the passion that make for war; It is, therefore, to great peace-maker and not simply to one o4 the most distinguished war makers that the gate to out hospitality stands ajar. The general brings as gift to the Amer ican Legion figure that symbolizes his men, tai attitude. It is a reproduction of the statue that tops the ancient castle of San Angelo, rep resenting Peace sheathing sword.
 All civilization owes debt to Diaz-for he saved Venice What the destruction of that city would have meant to the world of art and of culture is incalculabe. After Caporetto, when the Austro- German fcrces took 20o,O Italians and 700 guns, he brought victory out of defeat and despair. For nearly year after blocking the passage of the Piave he prepared for the mighty and conclusive blow he struck at Aus tria in October, 1918. The Austrian capitu- lation preceded the armistice by week.
 Great honor is due this epic figure who i'm personates thrilling chapter of history; whose life is crowned by deeds that saved what is precious to mankind in the heritage of Italy

A SCRAP OF PAPER

From The Louisville Courier-J Journal!
 AS a preventive of strikes the Esch- Cummins law is a scrap of paper merely When it under discussion an anti-strike provision was by many observers recommended, and by some forecast At the pinch the packers of the bill failed of backbone. They did not put into the measure clause giving it's authority
 Railroad labor won the day in Congress.
 A Washington correspondent says that if a mandate of the Railway Labor Board should be ignored there would be ''unquestonably" an amendment of the Esch- Cummins bill im- posing fines and imprisonment for strikes or lockouts or indictment of strikes or lockouts, in defiance of the decisions of the Railway Labor Board.
 Possibly, but not ''unquestionably." Has Congress more backbone than it had when the Esch- Cummins bill was passed? Unless it has, why ''unquestionably"
 There has been on the statute books of New Zealand for 15 or 20 years law fixing pen altes for strikes or lockouts. New Zealand is not described by anyone as a country in which labor has not received square deal Yet Con- gress feared-there is no other word which could be used sincerely-to make law for bidding railroad strikes.
 Congress has done nothing but wiggle and wobble since it passed from under the direc- tion of President Wilson. The Adamson law was termed by President Wilson's critics surrender to the railroad brotherhoods to avert a strike.
 Time has obscured the fact that when Pres, dent Wilson, in a great emergency, asked Con- gress to establish the eight-hour day he asked Congress simultaneously, and earnestly, to authorize the President to appoint small body of men to study the actual results of the work ings of the Adamson law and report to Con- gres. It is not remembered widely that he asked Congress at the same time to make strikes or lockouts unlawful prior to public investigation of the merits of any dispute be- tween employers and employees
 Congress did nothing the President recon,- mended save avert the strike by passing the Adamson Act. As this is true it might be asked whether President Wilson Congress surrendered to the brotherhoods in 1916?
 Congress surrendered to the brotherhoods after the World War by killing the anti-strike provision of the Esch- Cummins bill when there was no emergency. It surrendered calmly and deliberately.
 If the brotherhoods obey the Railroad Labor Board they will show lvelier of re- sponsibiity, readier response to public opin- ion, than Congress showed when it left out the anti-strike provision.

FOOTBALL AN ASSET

Tt seems to me that the Junior Chamber of Commerce deserves great deal of credit for starting the movement to make Birmingham the leading football city of the south," said Fred J. Cunningham. "The good will of the southern colleges will unquestionably be a great asset for the city, and there is no bet ter means of winning it than by treating the teams and students from the institutions we'll
 'I am sure that it pleases the different stu dent bodies to see their schools colors in the show windows, as was the case Saturday for the A1abama-Sewanee game.
 "Then believe it is good thing for city to imbibe some of the spirit and pep which always accompanies a college game. People here unquestionably interested in the game, and I am glad to see that we are showing it."

 AND ELSEWHERE

''It seems to be it would be an excellent idea to revive the plan we had once before here in Birmingham" said Capt. T. s. Smith
 "I refer to the idea of local men and women during Semi Centennial Week wearing buttons ribbons with the words T live here, ask me, : on them. There will be many stranger in town during the week and it would be re- lief to many of them to know that people they meet would be glad to give them any kind of information they want about the city Of course every citizen will be glad to assist wis., itors but for the visitors convenience it seems to me it would be well for our local people to be properly tagged so they will know home folks from guests.
 "Of course I am merely throwing out the suggestion for all of want our guests this week to have good time and to make the most of their trip to Birmingham"

NEED OF ARMIES
From The Brooklyn Eagle.

From The Brooklyn Eagle.
 Dr. Charles W. Eliot, pesident emeritus of Harvard university, is as humane as he is schol- arly. His views on the vexed question as to land disarmament are significant But it reads no prophet to predict some hot discussion, in- teligent and unintelligent, of his basic proposi- tion.
 No nation can dispense with a military force not for offense or aggression, but for it's own uses.
 The socialist the pacifist or the general sentimentalist will instantly ask What uses?" Probably Dr. Eliot would answer, Primarily the preservation of social order" and his critic would counter with the assertion, utterly un- supported by hnman history, that non-military forces sufficient for the preservation of sol cial order where majority makes the laws.
 Keener analysis might note that personal lib- critics would be likely to suffer more from 2. general police force large enough to cope as soldiery do with sporadic rioting, than they could possibly suffer from any military force the federal government or the states is ready to support. Reasoning must deal with human beings as they are goodsized village with hundreds of men devoted to industry, to the in dustry of peace, might be absolutely terrorized by two or three men armed with guns, not be- causes the citizens lacked yirility, but because fighting was not their business The protec- tion of the majority that makes the laws, against violent minority in any section at any time is duty of organized society Small police forces, under local control, arc now backed up by the confidence that militia in the background inspire.
 Dr. Eliot turns as do many thinkers to what is called the Swiss system" With universal military training no military caste is to be faced in a republic Also dozen average citizens are equal to the task of wiping out dozen riot CTS. As beginning the distinguished Harvard scholar advocated universal physical training in the schools, as basis He intimated clearly, however, that his own thought went farther than this initial suggestion for preparedness.

PORT AID A BENEFIT TO ALL
 INTERESTS

The port of Mobile cannot serve the people of Alabama until it is equipped with devices that enable ships to take on and discharge large cargoes with dispatch and economy. That is what port aid amendment means. If it does not pass, Alabama will be that much behind Louisiana, Texas and other southern states that have built up their ports out of public funds. No one will benefit from real port at Mo- bile quite as much as the agricultural interests. Iron and steel products move in quantities by spells, but the products of the soil, cotton, the grains, lumber and the like move all the time, and from ports best fitted with warehouses, clc- vators and kindred port needs. Louisiana has invested millions in the port of New Orleans, port cares for the bond issues and interest and makes handsome return over and above ex- penses.
 Either Alabama will vote for the port aid amendment or declare that it prefers going backward. The state cannot stand still and keep up with other southern states, because they do not stand still.
 For the first time since it was founded, 50 years ago, Walcott, Ia., has Sunday school. After awhile it may work up Christmas tree.
 
 It is reported that Americans are being taxed $s to enter Mexico through the port of Nogales, Anybody who has no better sense than to enter Mexico, unless detectives are on his trail, de- serves to be taxed.
 The health of Clemenceau is reported Sex cellent.' "The Tiger is so hale and hearty he may last until the next war.
