summed up in a few words. If Mir. Ford's offer is the best received, it will have to be accepted, regardless of what his enemies in and out of public life may think. Senator Un- derwood believes that his proposal will stand or fall strictly on its merits. That is reassuring, for the senator usually knows what he is talking about.
 The southern people may take it for granted that the Muscle Shoals plants will not be "scrapped." The republican party could not live down such a preposterous blunder.

If a shoe dealer attempts to edit or boycott a newspaper any novice would bet that the proportion of lost shoe sales will be much greater than the proportion Nof lost newspaper sales.

 In the trial of this man who went to Father Coyle's house armed with a pistol anl shot him to- death there should be the same procedure as though the man were carpenter or a mechanic. The spokesman of the Southern Methodist church has re- pudiated him; and 1t will indeed bs unfortunate if any man of any re- ligious denomination should attempt to arouse church animosltles in crim- iral court proceedings. If such is done there will be no Justice. ,

I Another spirit of recklessness was evidenced yesterday by a man who is said to have leased and to operate the shoe departments of both First and 8 Second avenue department store. This man. who Is 8 Catholic, yesterday telephoned early to the cir culating manager of The Age-Herald to stop his paper and to notify the advertising department not to print any ad. for him Sunday. and that he would never~have another ad in The Age Herald because of the news story in yesterdays paper about the killing of Father Coyle.
 * # +
 The Herald gave the news and the discussion of motives, and an- nounced that Father Coyle's death leaves the community shocked and benumbed." That one minister, armed with a pistol, should call upon an- other and shoot him to death has not only shocked Birmingham, but all the world. That a shoe merchant should assume to edit the news columns of The Age Herald, or should punish 1t by stopping subscribing to the paper and advertising in 1t, will shock Birmingham.

Southern Congressmen
 Object to Propaganda

Fr1HE AGE-HERALD'S Washing U ton correspondent says the eff forts of southern .Gities, particular ly in Alabama and Tennessee, to raise campaign funds and carry on active propaganda in support of Henry Ford's offer for the Muscle Shoals plants is proving embarrass- ing to southern members of Con- gress.
 It is pointed out that the south's representative at Washington are firmly convinced that the Muscle Shoals project must be completed and made serviceable to the country while the use of money or any other means will have no effect on those who oppose the undertaking. Ac- cording to The Age-Herald's infor- nation from Washington, the fear is expressed that too much propa- ganda from the south will prove prejudicial and the expenditure of money may give the opponents of Muscle Shoals Something to talk about"
 In this connection the Carbon Hill Journal recently published an editorial entitled "A Humiliating Spectacle in which it said;
 It seems strange that the va
 rious civic clubs and commercial
 bodies of southern cities should find it necessary to raise inn
 mense sums of money to put on
 campaign, the object of which Is to induce the government to ac-
 cept the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals. If the Ford offer Is l bona fide, and there is no reason to think it Is otherwise, the gov
 ernment should. since it has seen fit to abandon Muscle Shoals.
 negotiate with the Ford interests without the necessity of the peo- pie of the south raising huge sums and getting down on their knees to those in authority at say the least, exceedingly
 humiliating. The Ford offer is
 clear, straightforward and simple. devoid of technicalities and in
 such language as to leave no
 doubt as to the meaning it is in-
 tended to convey.
 Much of the agitation in the south for acceptance of MT. Ford's offer has been due to the well founded reports that certain interests are working to defeat his plan to de velop Muscle Shoals. It is also well known that the Detroit manufac. turer is no favorite with republic ans, and in addition to all this there is prejudiced against the Muscle Shoals project because it is in the south, and its development will

 There was little for the afternoon papers to find out except develop ments of the next day. Events lead ing up to the killing and those im- mediately~ following were faithfully reported by The Age staff
