An amusing story is told about the
present Prince of Wales when he
was a cadet at Osborne (the Brit
ish naval academy ON the Isle of
Wight.) Soon after his arrival a
senior cadet, recognizing him as a
new boy, demanded his name.
Edward" was the reply.
Edward? Edward what? Haven't

The prince blushed and murmur-

THE EDITORIAL WRITER

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 According to the Atlanta Georg an editorial writers are futile because they write only what everybody all ready knows. They don't raise enough Cain, thinks the Georgian or to quote from the text of it's article:
 Editorial writers, don't you
 know that stirring up dissatis-
 faction is the greatest work you
 can do?
 Stirring up dissatisfaction is un- doubtediy ths best thing many edi- torial writers do. That is all they know how to do. But it depends upon the character. temperament and convictions of the editorial writer whether he should make a special point of stirring up dissatisfaction all the time. It may be that his heart Is against that sort of thing. In which case it Is his duty to take a differ ent tack, and in so doing he will serve his country well. It is . false notion of journalistic duty that every Journalist should be a muck raker and irrepressible agitator. It may be, after all. that muckrakers and irrepressible agitators are some times wronE although we believe it is not customary for them to ad- init as much

A BLoND-BEARDED BoER

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 blonde bearded Boer. who 20 years ago was chasing Englishmen and be- ing chased by Englishmen from kopje to veldt and back again, is now Eng lands hope and ace" in winning Ire alnd to the Empire No other man could command the respect and hear ing that will be his.
 For Jan Shuts has been through it all. A score of years back he was battling Roberts and Kitchener in South Africa. He wanted freedom and independence as De Valera and Collins want them now.
 A republic of South Africa was his dream. He fought for it and he prayed for it. He was a fighting rebel, as much so as any Sim Feiner that lives.
 In all the fighting burghers and men from the veldt, Jan shuts stood out English victory was bitter waters on his lips. There came day when he was convinced that South Africa could not stand alone and that It should oin the empire, He put his regrets behind him on that day
 He had stood in South Africa for what Collins and De Valera now stand in Ireland. He has been through all that they have seen and more, far more. Smuts Is able to talk to the Sim Feiner and republican, man to man. Racial hatreds are noth- ing new to him. He has dealt with them his life long in his home land
 Because England has had the wis., dom-to send Shuts to Ireland and let him widen the door that was opened by Lloyd Georges appeal and the Kings speech in Belfast, there is genuine hope in both Ireland and England that the idea of a republic may be forgotten and that full and free dominion rule will be offered and accepted.
 As Smuts in effect told Irishmen. persistence in their present position strife. His advice was to follow the example of Soush Africa. Bearing in mind the present position of Aus tralia, Canada and South Africa, tha t advice seems good. shuts voice is the voice of wisdom and experience.

All Should Pull for
 the Soldier HospitaI

1T N the near future inspectors of U the public health service will come to Alabama and look over the sites offered for a soldier hospital. Mobile, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Gadsden and Montgomery are among the cities to be visited. It is under stood that Gadsden has made an especially good offer in the way of free land.
 Cities striving for the hospital will each present it's claim in the strongest light possible. The rivalry will be all right if it stops at that point. But each community should refrain from exalting other munich palities.
 Alabama wants the hospital for the disabled soldiers of this state. That is the important matter, much more important than that it should be located in any particular com munity. Thanks to nature, Alabama has sites suited to hospitals in every section of the state. Men and women of Alabama seem to live as long in one part of the state as in another, with record of longevity not surpassed by any state in the union and equaled by very few.
 Let us unite in bringing the hos pital to Alabama. Wherever it is located, it will be within reach of those whom it is intended to serve.

ANIMAL ACTS
From the Humane Review.

From the Humane Review.
 Mrs. Irene Castle Tremain, the fa nous actress and dancer, has an ar ticle discussing animal acts in the April issue of Open Door. in which she vigorously attacks the trained animals on the stage. Mrs. Tremain says sthe has always abhorred these performances ever since she was a little girl. She writes that while sine and her late husband, Capt. Vernon Castle, were on the vaudeville stage they had ample opportunity to see the sufferings of animal actors in their journeys from city to city.
 Continuing she says: Twice a day would stand in the wings and watch my dumb friends go hopelessly through their tricks only to receive a cut or a curse at the fall of the curtain. Their misery seemed to fas- cinate me and. try as might. l could not leave the theatre after my own work was completed Each day I hoped I might save one, who failed to do his part we'll beating.p
 Another thing pointed out by Mrs. Tremain Is that no theatres ha, e suitable quarters for animals. and that they are kept under the stage where 1t is dark and damp, the only light being that furnished by elec- trie bulbs.
 According to Mrs Tremain, most monkeys apparently enjoy acting. They take pleasure in the applause they receive. but if beaten they never forget and become sullen and stub born. She also thinks that in rare cases dogs enjoy performing on the stage. Mrs. Tremain says that most of the owners of large animal acts do not train their own animals, but buy them from a training school i,l the middle west. She declares that the men l saw living on the efforts of poorly cared for dumb beasts were snug fat, and heartless men who chose this way as the easiest means of making a living"

THIS WONDER AGE
rom the Cincinnati Enaulrer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Science has outstripped the dreams of the dreamers of all past ages. Mir acles swarm from the laboratories. We no longer are surprised at. any thing.
 Vienna surgeon announces the successful transplanting of human eyes. He joins the optic nerve so that patients regain their sight.
 The army air seryicA is preparing a system of national air trails, mapped routes for the guidance of fliers. The viewless distances are to be subject to the laws of ever aspiring man.
 Hudson Maxim and associates are engaged in the perfection of a 'si- lent" gun which will shoot an 5000 pound explosive bomb a distance of 300 mileA
 pr. Alexis Carrel has kept a bit of connective tissue from the heart of an embryo chick alive for eight years, which would indicate the potential Immortality of all the essential cellu- lar elements of the body. And so on and on into the realms of former mys- tery.
 In this connection the public should be interested in the early coming to this country of the greatest airship ever constructed. It is the property of the United States and has just been completed under the supervision of the British air ministry. It will cross the Atlantic to become part of the American navy. K Germany built big airships, but nothing to compare with this aerial leviathan It will carry 90 tons of fuel and be able to maintain a speed of 70 miles an hour for a distance of 5000 miles.
 This giant ship can climb to an all titude of 1S,00O feet greater than that possible to the R-34, which was the first big ship of it's kind to cross the Atlantic. Its length is 695 feet, with a lifting capacity of SS tons. It has passed the first tests successfully, and soon will be on it's way to America.
 Possessing the worlds greatest bat tleship, the worlds greatest airshp, with the worlds greatest submarine vessel in contemplation, we. should begin to feel reasonably secure that at home and abroad the peace of the world may be maintained.
 This is the wonder age, and Amer ica leads the van of nations.

- . sT------T- A MIRACLE GUN

From the New York World.
 The distinguishing feature of Dr. Hutchisons super- gun is that it IS equally an implement of war and peace. The big Berthas were merely destructive. The Temple gun, white capable of penetrating armor plate and shooting five-ton projectlle 3j0 miles, is calculated to be great aid to conservation. It may be used in riveting steel beams, salvaging sunken ships. repairing ships without dry docking, recovering tools lost in the drilling of oil wells and lifting heavy metallic objects in inaccessi- ble places.
 The difficulty is to discover not what it can do but what it cannot tic. The Temple gun, indeed, if it's claims are sustained, comes the nearest of all recorded inventions to a co,n- .bined sword and ploughshare. It can exterminate armies and navies an,i reconstruct industries.
 ! This extravagant characterization must not be taken as prejudlcing the performance of the small model oe the gun exhibited to wondering ob- servers on Tuesday. When weapon not much larger than revolver can send steel slug through hardensd steel with small charge of powder. noiselessly and without recoil, somc- thing embodyins the feats of Max i'm and the dreams of Keeley has apparently been invented, and the de velopment and utilization of the in vention as an arm of national de- fense are worth studying

accused of crime should be kept in dungeons until they were tried and sent back to dungeons to serve out their sentences when convicted. |
 Mir. Chamblee advocates a steel frame courthouse with the jail on top. That seems to be the most popular design among Birmingham citizens who are keenly interested in the matter. As for the court house itself, it is a menace to health and in every way unfit for use. It is an imposition on the people of Jefferson county to require them to transact their legal business in such a place. It is serious hardship on judges, court and county officials and jurors to have the kind of "ac- commodations" they now receive in a building that is insanitary, over crowded, badly lighted and lacking in modern conveniences. As MT. Chamblee suggests, the unusual death rate among Jefferson county judges may be attributed to their environment.
 It may be objected that there is a shortage of funds and the county has not the available money to build a new courthouse, but if the building now in use were to burn down, which is not unlikely, new one would be erected. If we wait. like Wilkins Micawber, for some thing to turn up, we will never progress.
