Characteristic of
Alabama Population

HAdpaknN reputation
1T7HE census showing as to race
u distribution in Alabama con-
tains several satisfying details.
The increase in white population
was IT'S per cent. The exodus from
Alabama during the war was not
participated in by the whites. 1t is
evident that the soldiers lost no love
of home and that they all came back
to the dear old mother state.
The foreign-born population in Ala
bama increased only little over 900
in the decade, the total for 1910 be-
ing 1862, and that for 1920 being
1888. In total Of 2,34S,174, this
is negligible. Alabama has no objec-
ton to the foreigner fit for Ameri-
can citizenship, but it is intensely
proud Of the purity Of its Anglo
Saxon blood and it is glad that this
strain is the predominant and con-
trolling one.
The decrease of something under
per cent Of negro population is. ac-
counted for by the rush for the east
at the call of high wages and the
natural inclination of the child-like
negro to travel. Their absence from
the cotton fields has stimulated eff
fort of white men to higher point
than it would otherwise have attained.
The white man tiiling his own acres
with intelligence and satisfying re-
suits has been the net result.
Alabama wants it's negroes to re-
main here, but the white man is not
dependent on them and is making
proof Of that more and more every
day.

Rezoning an Effect Of
Higher Freight Rates
Tf7ENDENCY Of the increase in
u railroad rates is to rezone ship
ping territory. Shippers throughout
the country were never quite SO busy
devising ways and means to escape
the added burden Of reaching the
markets in the distribution Of their
products.
Shippers from the middle west
who had fine markets on the Pa
cfic coast declare that the ex-
cessive railroad freight rates give
the east, because of water rates.
a monopoly of trading with the
Pacific coast. New York, by ship
ping through the Panama canal, is
apprcpriating the Pacific coast
markets because of the inability of
st. Louis. Kansas City and Chi
cago, solely dependent on the rail-
roads, to compete. Elimination of
the canal tolls, promised by Mr..
Harding. win add to the casts adj
vantages.
The advance in rates on iron and
steel products caused $4,000 tons Of
Birmingham cast iron pipe and much
pig iron to move to the Pacific coast
via. Mobile and the Panama canal.
This will obviously and even neces-
sarily continue to be done 50 long as
pipe can move to the coast by the
sea route at SIS per ton lower than
by the transcontinental rail route. No
one on earth can blame the Birming-
ham pipe manufacturers for saving
the $4,000 that shipment by Mo-
bile meant.
Are the increased railroad freight
and passenger rates going to pro-
Sduce more or less net revenue is 4
question that seems to be looming
up in the background.

Using Judgment in
Extension Of. Clemency
Tf1HE state board Of pardons ap-
u pears inclined to the parole and
the action Of the chief executive on
applications for executive clemency
shows that he leans the same way.
The parole is preferable TO the par
don in the vast majority Of cases,
because, while it suspends actual pun
ishment, it holds punishment over the
head Of the paroled pending his good
behavior.
The board recommended and the
governor granted 100 paroles out Of
$50 applications for clemency, and las
paroles were extended in -indetermin-
ate sentence cases. This is lot Of
clemency, but it Is clsmency applied
in the right direction. Each Of TIE

Of these communications found their
way into the offices Of southern news
papers, where it was hoped that they
would meet with more sympathetic
response.
Yesterday Secretary Of State Colby
announced that the stories Originate
in Berlin and appear to be very
largely anti-French propaganda" Sec
rotary Colby said that according to
information supplied by American
diplomatic and military agents in
Europe there are at present no negro
troops in the occupied area land no
recent examples of misbehavior have
been brought forward"
If such reports had been made by
French, British or even Belgian in
vestigators, there might be some rea-
son to question them, but we may rest
assured that American agents are not
prejudiced. They have no reason to
be so.
Wherever there are considerable
bodies Of troops some disorder is
bound to result. 1t is human inn
possibility to prevent outbreaks un-
less soldiers are kept continuously on
duty and discipline is never relaxed.
There was great deal of skepticism
regarding the so-called atrocities"
Secretary Colby's statement win
cause no surprise.

that which will admit individ-

No More Gas in
Stomach and Bowels

If you wish to be permanently
relieved of gas in the stomach and
bowels, take Baalmann's Gas-Tab-
lets.
Baalmann's Gas-Tablets are pre-
pared distinctly and especially for
stomach gas, and particularly for
all the bad effects coming from gas
pressure.
That empty, gone and gnawing
feeling at the pit of your stomach
will disappear; that anxious and
nervous feeling with heart palpita-
ton will vanish, and you will once
more be able to take a deep breath
so often prevented by gas pressing
against your heart and lungs.
Your limbs, arms and fingers
won't feel cold, and go to sleep,
because Baalmann's as-Tablets
prevent gas interfering with the
circulation; intense drowsiness and
sleepy feeling after dinner will
soon be replaced by desire for
some form of entertainment. Your
distended stomach will reduce by
inches because gas will not form
after using Baalmann's Gas-Tab-
lets.

Package from any reliable druggist

CITES RULES OF GAME
Newport, Vt,

Newport, VT,
Sept. 1, 1921
To the Editor:
As one of the many Border City
fans, who insist that Justice be
melted out both to the home base
ball team and to the visitors dur
ing every contest, ! would like to
give my version of the affair
which occurred at Newport last
Saturday. l refer to the report
sit became necessary for Manager
Hoernle to stop the game etc." as
published in the Caledonian- Record
on Monday. Another part of a
published sentence ran thus: "the
count at the time Manager Hoern-
lie refused longer to allaw his ath-
any other player, or any
one, except the umpire, stop a
Bv what authority can Manager
Hoernle or Manager Merritt or
anyone, except the umpire, stop Il
game that is in progress. There is
no provision in the Official Playing
Rules authorizing a manager or
player to stop the game.
This power is vested in the UNI
pre- alone. Umpire-in-chief Will
liams was empowered to stop the
game on Saturday, if he so elected.
When Manager Hoelnle refused
to permit his players to engage any
longer in the contest Saturday, af-
ter Witty kicked at the umpire's
decision, Williams was right in
forfeiting the game to Newport.
This he did, by the score of to 0.
My arguments are based on the
following Official Playing Rules.
Rule 66. The umpire cannot
be changed during a championship
game by the consent Of the con-
testing clubs, unless the official in
charge of the field be incapacitated
from service by injury or illness.
Rule 65 Under no circumstan-
ccs shall a captain or player ques-
ton the accuracy of the umpire's
judgment and decision on play.
Rule 26. A forfeited game shall
be declared by the umpire in favor
of the club not in fault, in the fol-
lowing case:
Section 2. If, after the game
has begun, one side refuses to
continue to play, unless the game
has been suspended or terminated
by the umpire.
Yours for clean sport,
NEWPORT BASEBALL FAN.
