1, it Is so like the ambitions that we | have for our paper that we shall re- produce it and with the permission of that splendid Florida daily in- corporate 1t into our creed. 1t is as follows and every word in it rings true:
 Tn our determination to make the let us be animated by spirit or charity toward the weakness and shortcomings of our fellowmen so long as their actions are moro in- Juroys to Themselves than to the pub lie welfare;
 Printing nothing that will injure or reflect upon the reputation of any man or woman without thorough and painstaking investigation of the facts remembering that 1t is better to miss of damaging the name and reputa- tion of an innocent person;
 "Abhorring the gossip monger and the purveyor of neishborhood scan dal;
 
 Handling sex crime and revoitng details of all kinds, 50 as to offend good taste as little as we m in the knowledge that many of our Readers are pure minded girls and women, and that an intentional appeal to lie salacious is indecent journalism;
 Refusing to create sensations 4ut of trivialties, or allow motives of any kind to inspire overplaying of the news;
 "vowing solemnly to ourselves that ours shall be an honest and truthful newspaper in which shall be printed nothing but well established facts, emphasizing constantly that guessing is objectionable and the printing of irresponsible rumors a Journalistic crime;
 Tn all of which meriting. as in- dividuals, the respect of our asso- ciates and the public by fairness to our enemies, cleanness in our purpose and unswerving honesty every nlin- ute of every hour.
 AS the character of an indiyiduaf is built by his thoughts anu actions, so is the character of newspaper built up by thel printed word
 ''The good name of the Times must be kept above reproach."

PRYOR cREEK,s LONE WOLF

| From Department of Agriculture Bulletin.
 A lone wolf which for six years
 Montana, near Billings, and taught the farmers dogs to run with him and prey on live stock has ended
 his reign of terror. Trappers of the
 United States department of agricul- ture have just reported his capture.
 The wolf was the last of its kind in the vicinity. By strength. cum ming and wariness bred of constant
 pursuit he had eluded hunters for years while continuing his work of killing calves. cattle. horses and val uable colts. Not less than 150 ami mals, 1t is estimated, had fallen be- fore the four-footed bandit and the loss due to his depredations amount ed to thousands of dollars. ~
 Several dogs from time to time had taken up with the wolf and were taught the way of his kind One shepherd dog became so well edu-
 
 cated that it killed a Shetland pony
 in it's owners yard, The ranchman's son killed the dog. Not long after
 ward the same ranchman's son en- countered the lone wolf and shop
 herd dog that had been running With him all summer and took after them on his pony. The wolf was too fleet but the dog was killed
 The wolf was reported as measur- ins ! feet 10 inches. Its weight was
 s2 pounds. While this is not record for size. the wolf was considerably
 arva the average. It was trapped
 on the last day of the county fair at R,Ilines and was exhibited there to thousands of persons.

THE BATTLEFIELD

By William Cullen Bryant
 (First three stanzas omitted. Soon rested those who fought; but
 thou
 Who minglest In the harder strife For truths which men. receive not Thy warfare only ends with fife. A friendless warfare. lingering long Through weary day and weary
 year, 4; A wild and many-weaponed throng Hang on thy front, and flank. and
 rear.
 Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof, And blepch not at thy chosen lot. The timidT good may stand aioof. The sage may frown--yet faint
 thou not Nor heed the shaft too surely cast, The foul and hissing bolt of scorn; For with thy side shall dwell, at last. The victory of endurance born. Truth crushed to earth, shall rsse
 asain;x
 The eternal years of God are hers. But error. wounded. writhes in pain. And dies among his worshippers. Yea though thou lie upon the dust. When they who helped thee flee in
 fear.
 Die full of hope and manly trust N Like those who Tell in~battle here. Anether hand thy sword shall wield Another hand the standard wave. Till from tho trumpet's mouth is
 pealed

Saving States Youth
 Is Truest Economy

1.-THE people of Alabama will ap-
 U prove the action of the legts- lature in voting an appropriation of $75,000 for the Girls Training school. Economy should always be the watchword of lawmakers, bu: the youth of Alabama is not largess hope of the state and their needs should always have first considera- ton.
 The money that goes into schools and into the rescue and training of the youth of labama is not largess, but an actual economy. The boy and girl allowed to attain manhood and womanhood in ignorance or vice, or both, Is standing expense.
 It has been shown that one neg lected boy, who might have been made a man of if taken in hand, has cost his state tens of thousands of dollars in money expended in prosecution, for juries, for time con- sumed by courts and for his upkeep in jails. A hundred dollars expended on a so-called bad boy Or girl will save the thousands that may be ex- pended on them if they become hard ened adults.
 An investment that entails the ex- penditure of small sum of money to prevent the expenditure of a much larger sum is the truest kind of economy and the nation and the states have so decided.

A NEWSPAPERS CREED
From the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle. ~
 q NEWSPAPER has a character, N\ like an individual. Indeed, S a a newspaper usually reflects the aims, the ambition, purposes, etc, all of which so to make up its char 'acter--of those who operate it. And to keep the name of a newspaper above reproach is the chief ambt- ton of every right thinking editor. Those who are entrusted with the operation of newspaper property are guardians of its character, of it's good name, during their incum- bency Therefore editors are weighted down with responsibility, some taking it less seriously than others.
 When many thousands of people have for generations been reading
 their favorite newspaper they come to look upon it as something almost sacred in their lives. They might talk about it flippantly at times and say unkind things about it, but a. heart they love 1t. A newspaper that continues to ,serve- many thousands of people daily throughout the de- cades and quarters of "a century on down to a century and over must have Q character that commands re- spect. And if you were to ask the average man or woman what he or she likes most about their favorite newspaper their answers would be interesting. Certain newspapers stand for certain things, but tho prin- cipal things which newspapers, &C., cording to our idea, should stand for. are: integrity in news. integrity in advertising, a sense of fairness that will cause you to respect the other fellows views, and to be sure never to permit the use of your newspaper to blacken the character of any man or woman. This, coupled with the sincere desire to do something for the community that is constructive, something that will bring people to- gether instead of tear them apart makes up splendid creed for newspaper. These are. very frankly, among our aims for the Chronicle.
 We have read many newspaper creeds in our time, but we read mo the other day in the Tampa Times which cannot be surpassed. Indeed,

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

From the Chicago News,
 Man and strange umbrellas often go without saying.
 Our best friends are apt to appear bad in amateur theatricals.
 Why pick out for your friend 8 man whose dog won't follow him?
 Tho man who possesses shining intellect isn't necessary light-headed.
 It is better to be fired by the di- vine spark of love than by the girls father,
 No woman who thinks she is home ly will consent to have her picture taken in a group.
 Why is the average man always ready to stand up for the weaker sex everywhere except in street car?
 When a man compromises With his CT editors at 50 cents on the dollar he is willing to meet them half way.
 Compared with the amount man wants in this world its surprising how little he can manage to get along with.

-----.s----~------ A NEW PRODIGY or INVENTION

From the New York World.
 Readers of the World had the priv lege yesterday of assisting, as the French term it. at the first perform ance of new miracle of wireless telegraphy. On the front page of the paper they were enabled to read autograph letters from Premier Briand and General Pershing written in Paris and transmitted by radio graph with the speed of light itself, making their reproduction in fac- simile in this country at the navy departments radio station near Bar Harbor almost simultaneous with their dispatch from the other side of the Atlantic.
 Is the public mind too surfeited with the wonders of invention to marvel at this new example of the wlzardy of wireless communication? :? Belin, inventor of the apparatus by which photographs may be sent over telegraph and telephone wires and reproduced at the point of reception. demonstrated in the World editorial rooms the practicability of the pro- cess by effecting telcgraphic ex- change of photographs between the World and the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch In now successfully applying the same method to wireless teleg- raphy the radio expert conquers new field of invention.
 Not the least interesting feature of the achievement is the perfect legi- bility of the messages as reproduced after transmission through space. The initial performance. indeed, daz- zles expectation. Will business men in New York some day be able to sign checks simultaneously in Paris and Petrograd? Radio ,elegraphy, after all. is only in it's infancy, but it is by all odds the most precocious child of invention.

ANOTHER CENSORSHIP OF NEWS

From the New York World.
 Wednesday the House of Represen-
 totives broke through a spell of the doldrums to stage one of those amaz- ing and inexplicable scenes with which from time to time our honored legislators are pleased to stagger their countrymen. With about 100 members present. Representative Ramseyer of Iowa introduced q bill to exclude fraudulent devices and lot tery supplies from the mails. Rem resentative Walsh of Massachusetts immediately offered an amendment barring from the malls all newspaners publishing betting odds, and proyid- ing fine and Imprisonment for pub fishers violating the law The bill and amendment were adopted without the formality of roll call.
 The country would not be seriously injured if the betting odds never got into print; but the stiffness of this proposal lies in the fallacy that gam- -<%te Ne-N' " SoPPt CSStQ py press [Gn- sorship. Gambling and the odds are facts which the newspapers report They exist whether they get into the papers or not. MT. Walsh's amend ment Wa baed according to his own statement. on conditions in Washing ton, which is gambling mad" Prac- tically every member of the House Representative Snyder averred. ha $ put money up on the races. Even if this Is true the House is not tryinc to lift itself by it's own bootstraps. If the House wants to gamble it will gamble. as 1t very well knows, be the laws what they may.
 The only possible explanation for the Walsh amendment is another wave of that same futile and hypo- critical morality for -political-pur- pose which gave us the volstead act Congress, 1t is we'll known, has not stopped drinking Neither will if quit the races or poker.

British Premier Decides
 To Attend Conference

IM EFINITE announcement comes lO from London that Premier Lloyd George will attend the confer ence to limit ornaments. He is ex. pected to arrive i'll Washington for the afternoon session of November II, when the conference opens.
 The absence of Mir. Lloyd George on this momentous occasion would have cast damper on the other delegates and created an unfavorable impression which would have been felt in Aperica as well as abroad. America and Great Britain are the two nations who will have most to do with the success or failure of the conference. On them rests, to a large extent, the responsibility for lifting the burdens of war and prep arations for war. Japan, of course, will play an important, and vital part, in the deliberations, but Japan would scarcely oppose alone the united strength of the two most powerful nations in the world and is expected to agree to any reasonable solution of the problems to be dis cussed. If the United States and Great Britain were at loggerheads, there might be a different tale to tell, but such is not the case, and it is to be hoped that it never will be the case.
 It would not be too much to say that the presence of the British pre- mier in Washington is imperative, regardless of the economic and po- litical situation at home. Mir. Hard ing and his advisers have undertaken q formidable task. They heed the counsel and support of the British government, received not through an intermediary, but at first hand from the head of that government. The practical value of MT. Lloyd Georges advice will naturally be great ,and the moral effect of his unprecedented trip across the Atlantic will be far reaching.

LACK cr SHAKESPEARE ACTORS

From the New York Herald.
 F. H. Sothern recently admitted that were 1t not for small band of veterans which he annually assem- bles in his company 1t would be ira- possible to continue his Shakespear- can performances The number of &C., tors capable of playing Shakespeare grows every year smaller. It Is in- deed not easy to acquire experiences in this special school since represen- tations of the poet have become so rare. The formation of company to present such repertoire seems fated to become more and more difficult.
 Yet there are aspirants to the pop ularity of Mir. Sothern and Miss Mar lowe. It Is not without it's signifi- canoe that these two actors, who have for many years devoted their time very largely to the works of Shakes peare, arc to play their forthcoming engagement here at the Century the- atre since only such a large play house can accommodate the crowds that flock to see them, Naturally there are eager candidates for the places they will sooner or later leave vacant. Walter Hampden continues his long tours across the continent, playing the famous heroes of the Eliz- abethan dramatist. Fritz Leiber> is an0fhar ynuthf,,I pretander C., tha throne of his great predecessors in this field. John Barrymore has given no indication that he intends to aban- don tho way 50 brilliantly begun In Richard III" Robert Mantell, who for years has devoted himself to the so-called legitimate repertoire, is said to have found 1t highly profitable.
 In spite of these Illustrations of the reward the public is willing to pay its competent actors of Shakespeare. MT. Sethern complains that without his little cohort of followers 1t would not be possible for him to continue his appearances, There are said to be seven applicants, on the average, for every available post. Yet there Is so Nttl~ interest In one kind of acting that MT. Sothern and other distin- guished actors of Shakespeare are able only with great difficulty to find recruits for their companies. One branch of the profession certainly does not appear to be oyercrouded

Sewanee and Alabama
 Meet This Afternoon
< < $

r7f1HE first big football game of the u season. will be played this aft ernoon at Redwood, when the Uni versity of Alabama and Sewanee meet on the gridiron. Birmingham should extend a cordial welcome to these young athletes and their friends who will come here to see the game.
 The college spirit is something that we older people should try to keep alive, and if we have ever had it ourselves, 1t will not die easily. The sight of eager faces, cheering youngsters in the grandstand and bleachers and sturdy fellows in their football togs, who fight their grid iron battles as seriously as if the fate of nations depended on their winning victory; the interplay of colors, the blare of bands and last, but not least, the hard-working cheer leaders, racket masters par excel lcnce-all of these things go to make football game a rejuvenator of tired minds, dispeller of earthly cares, and bring back the days "when\all the world is young, lad, and every lass queen"
