Right of Corporationi to Its Reputation

M CORPORATION has Ia reputa- A tion, in the eyes ofl New York judge, who further Aleclares that it's reputation shall noI more be attacked with impunity thahl that of an individual.
 h a decision handed down by the appellate division of the supreme court of the state of New York in the case of Richer vs. the Bowery National bank, the court dfclared that corporation may institute an action to recover damagesj for all legged slander the same an indi- yidual.
 Justice Page, who W ,fote the deci- sion, said that a exploration could not take cognizapie of the ancient doctrine that aI corporation could not sue or be sued for islander or libel in view of the fact that a cor poration's reputation is as valuable as that of an individual. s' The reasoning is sound. The cor poration assumes the responsibilities 
 of an individual and is made to suf- fer for the mistakes which it makes and the sins which it commits. It should have the same. right to re- cover damages for a wrong done to it's reputation.
 Soap box orators and some men of higher degree have found it high ly entertaining to say things about corporations which are absolutely false, with an abandon that would rot be exercised if they were held oecountable for the accsTacy of tbeir statements. If the law of libel snd slander were applied to this csntry, as it should be when they
 Knowingly and flagrantly violate 1ko truth, that class of abuse would not flourish as much as it does. * **

Nationwide Interest in
 Schools of the Land

@ YER the nation the cry is for " schools. Alabamians are not alone in their efforts to improve their educational system and grant it more liberal support. Commu- mites arg voting bonds for school purposes and some of the larger educational institutions are receiving handsome endowments.
 North Carolina towns have voted $10,000,000 since adjournment of the last legislative session for school improvement purposes. There are 50 of these cities and the bond is sues run from $50, ,O00 to $1 ,000, ,0O0. All over the state the trend is to in;- crease educational facilities. North Carolina has made great strides in the past few years. It is evidently bent on maintaining its progressive pace through the training of its young.

Birminsham's Strong Position


 Birminsham's Strong Position
 Tn the midst of the talk about Saturday seemed to be like old times. Certainly it was for us, as we had the busiest day at our store that we have had since the holiday season.
 Everybody expects a rather quiet simmer in Birmingham, and yet from all I can gather Birmingham is in much stronger position than other cities. l am told that practically every southern city except Blrming- he nm is down in the dumps. Of course we have good many people out of sion is that the working people of this district to a great extent acted sensibly when times were good, and as result they have a nest egg saved up to tide them over tempo rary period of quietude such as we are now entering.
 But by period of quiet Birming- ham does not have to anticipate such quiet as exists in cities where great est dependence is put in agricultural products. While some of our indus trial plants are closed down and others are on part time, I am glad to note that the new steel car plant at Fairfield begins work Monday morning, and | understand there are enough orders on hand to keep it going for some time. Ensley and Fairfield are making steel plates for ships, plates for the orient and steel rails for the new railroad in Alaska. We have reached point in this dis trict where there is such diversity of products that something keeps going all the time"

Harding ProUes
 His Fitness for .
 Office He Holds
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-HeraId
 HnA na~tdsa.. R.,iidgr

Washington. October 15.-(Spe- cial. al.)-Warren G. Harding has de- monstrated his fitness for the office he holds. He has made a southern newspaper correspondent an envoy extraordinary and a minister plen- ipotentiary.
 In other words. he will send Jesse s Cottrell, native of the noun tains of east Tennessee, to Bolivia.
 Mir. Cottrell Is possessed of an Ala bama identity. Once upon a time he sent Washington news to tho Blr- mingham Ledger. At present he serves the Montgomery Advertiser from the Capital City. Furthermore, he married an Alabama girl. Lucille Wilcox, who was at one time mem Der of the reportorial staff of The Age- Herald Mrs Cottrell is the daughter of James Wilcox, and is a native of St, Clair county.
 MT Cottrell came to Washington 10 years ago. He had been graduated at the University of Tennessee, and had served an apprenticeship on va- rious Chattanooga newspapers. From the bottom of the ladder he began his climb upward In Washington un- Ill at the DeBlnnlnE Ol Ine WAT ho had string" of very important southern and western newspapers. He entered the service and attained the rank of captain.
 In politics. he is a republican. But he served newspapers of the demo- cratic faith with unusual fairness. He fig a great gatherer of news, and has ability to survey a doubtful field and reach, by q process of an alysis, the proper solution. He Is popular in the corps of correspon- dents, with officials in Washington, and members of Congress. He will make good in Bolivia. At least every republican of acquaintance Tn Tennessee predicted as much to the President.
 Mir. Cottrell Is not a prohibitionist. But that fact had nothing to do with his desire to change his base. He says chat he would have gone to the desert 'of Sahara had his country called him. But he admittedly pre- fers Bolivia to the desert

If the Parliament had reconvened I'm mediately after the August supreme council meeting in Paris, Mir. Briand would have been turned out. But the intervening period has given passions time to cool and the rage against Briand is turned into a question Who can take his placer Thus, Briand is in much the same position as Lloyd George before the British Commons: he really has not a com pact majorityin his favor, but, on the other hand thene IS no comp pact ma Jority against him.
 Briand has been In office since January, which Is a long time for a French premier to hold the reins. Thus. the law of averages argues for an early downfall. but postwar poli- tics are a different thing from pre- war politics. Such changes have come about that precedents cannot be depended upon, and surprises are the normal thing to expect.
 To understand the present sitpa- tion, go back to 1905. when, after a bitter struggle lasting several years, the law of separation of church and state was voted. Up to that time all the churches in France were sup ported by the overnment-Protest ant and Hebrew, as well as Catholic. The separation law deprived these churches of their real property and their subventions from the state treasury. which consisted largely in salaries to bishops, priests, pastors, rabbis, etc.
 Catholics Chief sufferers.
 Of course. the Catholic church was the chief sufferer for the other sects are not numerous, and the total sub vention they enjoyed was relatively small. The law was carried through by a party called the radical social ists, but the name requires some ex- planation to Americans accustomed to think of radicals as extreme "reds'
 As matter of fact. radicals in European politlcs-in England as well as France-are merely refo.ners who think they have got 10 the root of things with their pro- grammes. In France the root" of all evil was held by this party to be the tie between church and state. and so 'radicalism" came to be largely a synonym for "anti -clericalism." The suffix Socialist was adopted pretty much as a vote-catcher. for the "radi calls" realized that they could not put their programme through without the support of the socialists, the tradi-
 ional enemies of ecclesiastical domi- nation.
 There Is no doubt that the separa tion was overwhelmingly approved by

No matter what you eat or drink. even though it be just glass of sweet milk. the stomach may rebel and sour almost imme- diately. In such cases one or two Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets furnish the alkaline effect to offset the acid condition. Quite often the stomach may be over-erowded with partially disested food.
 A cold bottle of beverage at such times may add to the difficulty and there is gassi- ness, bilious taste, and other distresses due to indigestion. Travellers may save thema elves much of the discomfort of way side eating by having a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets with them as they can be had in almost any drug store through -ut the U. s. and Canada.-Adv-
