FINANCIERs

From the Montgomery Times.
 Alabama men are taking leading part in the big work of the nation. and The Birmingham Age-Herald says that with Otto Marx on the foreign finance corporation, w. P. c. Harding head of the reserve board, Oscar Wells helping Cuba rearrange her financial affairs, and Frederick Thompson, vice chairman of the shipping board, Birmingham and Alabama are we'll represented in the big work of the nation"
 And all the state takes pardonable pride in the fact that these big Ala bama financiers are being recognized for their real worth in national affairs. All four of them will make good and prove an honor to their state

Balloon Race Should
 Be Held in Birmingham

s56o IRMINGHAM has an opportunity ID to have the national balloon race for 1921 started here. Every one remembers what great adver- Using feature the elimination race last year was to Birmingham. This city was given tremendous amount of publicity in newspapers and maga- zines throughout the country, and even in foreign countries. Pictures of the entries were published in a number of rotogravure sections, there were motion pictures as we'll and it is probable that no other event that has even occurred in Birmingham at tracted more attention.
 Not only was this city kept pronli- nently before the country for days, and even weeks, by the balloon race, but the remarkable success of the event established Birmingham as an aviation center. The facilities pro- vided were praised by some of the worlds most famous aeronauts and the contest passed off without single unpleasant feature to mar the sport
 This year it is reported that some of Birmingham's business men are rather apathetic toward the balloon race, which is to be held in May, This ought not to be. It is not wise, nor is it truly public-spirited to measure every enterprise by what it means in dollars and cents. We should consider the national balloon race as something that will add to the prestige of Birmingham and will give enjoyment to thousands of people.
 A strong effort should be made tc have the race held in Birmingham this year. American aeronauts know Birmingham and it's hospitality. Il the invitation is extended in time il will be accepted.

Mobile as Outlet for
 Pacific Coast Products

M STEAMER bringing 10000 bar A rels of flour from mills at Port land, Ore, is on the way to Mobile. This is a trial shipment to prove the
 economy and feasibility of making Mobile a distributing point for Pa- cific coast flour. Memphis has here
 tofore served this purpose, but high all-rail rates and the proffer of lower rates by steamer have caused the Pacific coast flourmakers to look to transportation by water rather than rail.
 It is intended to make Mobile the depot of distribution to the territory 300 and 400 miles inland. Use of the
 Warrior river barge line for trans portation to Birmingham and other
 cities enjoying the 20 per cent freight
 differential of river traffic is con-
 templated. Shippers in this favored
 area will reap the benefit.
 Business between the Pacific coast,
 great empire of production and
 consumption, and territory contigu-
 ous to Mobile through that port is looming up in big figures. This dis
 trict's enormous business in cast iron
 products is a twice-told tale. Of fully as much benefit to it as the outgoing
 shipments will be incoming cargoes
 of the canned goods, fruits and other products of the Pacific coast. Regular sailings have been inaugurated with semimonthly sailings to follow in the
 near future. A great vista of trade is opening up.
 The Warrior is equipped to do it's
 part. Shippers in the 20 per cent diff ferential territory cannot get busy
 too soon perfecting arrange ments to take advantage of the re-
 markable facilities and economies in
 transportation that are being offered
 by the river and the vessels that are plying between Mobile and the coast.

Problem for Citizens

Tt seems to me that in view of the possible spread of rabies, the owners of dogs should recognize that they have not only legal responsibility. but also a moral one" said Charles Harold of the Civic Association.
 The ownership of a dog is, after all, qualified. There is potential danger in every such animal and when the dog Is allow to run astray, 1t is rea- sonable to demand that he be muzzled,
 At the last regular session of the state legislature one of the best dog laws in existence was enacted by that body. Now the city Is strengthening this law. and adapting it to municipal use.
 2 There Is now fine opportunity for the public at large to cooperate with the police officers. When dog is seen running astray without muzzle, g policeman should be called at once. In this way we will be able to hold down the number of hydrophobia cases in the community.''

'Unmuzzled Dog
 Should Be Killed

M N unmuzzled dog roaming the
 A streets is menace to human life.
 With 26 persons taking treatment for bites at the city laboratory and "A additional cases recorded within AS hours, condition has arisen that calls for summary action.
 The law is plain. It says that nc dog shall be allowed to live unless . tax has been paid by his owner. The law also provides that. even though man wishes to own dog and pays the tax on him, he must not allow the animal to run about without a muzzle. It finally says that officers of the law must kill untagged dogs and those that go about without a smuzzle and unaccompanied by their masters.
 It is case of man or dog. There should be no hesitancy of choice either on the part of officers sworn to execute the law or the people who are paying the heavy tolls of the dogs depredations.

Japan Furnishes Officers
 for Killing of American

IT T is curious to observe the pains
 H Japan has taken to make amends
 for the shooting of Lieutenant Lang
 don at Vladivostok by a Japanese
 sentry. Even if the United States
 were trying to pick quarrel with
 the Japanees government, a policy
 which would be contrary to the whole
 history of our government in its rela-
 tions with other powers, there would
 not be any ground to stand on.
 The action taken by Japan, follow ing prompt investigation of the tragedy at vladivostok, was made public in note to the state depart ment published yesterday. The com 'mander of the vladivostok garrison
 was removed from his command and
 denoted and four other officers were
 punished. They were held responsi-
 ble for the ssentry's conduct by a court-martial.
 It would have been easy for the
 Japanese government to make an ex-
 ample" of the stupid sentry by hay
 ing him summarily shot, but with admirable discretion the blame was placed doubtless where it belonged on the men higher up. Lieutenant Langdon owed his death to the fact that an ignorant, untrained Japan ese soldier was placed in a position of responsibility and partly to his own indifference or carelessness ir not quickly making his idei tity known when challenged. x The Japanese government and Japanese officials have made pro found apologies, swift punishment was meted out and the incident may
 be regarded as closed. Japan in this Instance has shown sincere desire
