SCHOOL OF TRADES
 OPENS THIS FALL
To Be Supported by State and Philanthropy Located at
 Ragland

The Alabama school of Trades and In dustries will open at Ragland for the faI term, according to plans announced yes terday by Senator Watt T. Brown, who was in Birmingham in connection with the work of this state institution.
 MT. Brown declares that he has ar ranged his business affairs so that he can give the time to completing the plans for starting the school this year and he expressed confidence in the sue cess of the proposition.
 The initial appropriations have been made by the state government. Mir. Brewn says the site, which consists of lVO acres, has already been purchased and laid out. The work of construction the administration building is to start soon and plans are being made to operate the institution duding the coming year, even though more time will be necessary and more appropria- tions must be secured before the entire school is ready.
 The school would have been started sooner had it not been delayed by the war said MT. Brown. Now that tho cost of building has decreased and con- ditions are almost normal we have de- c'ueu to push the matter until the school is open and receiving students. The fed eral government is already contributing money for the support of some branches of the school which are being temporar fly conducted in connection with the pub- lie schools at Ragland. As soon as we finish the first building during the s,1n- mer, these branches will be transferred to the Alabama School Of Trades and Tn. dustries. The state has appropriated money for the maintenance of the insti- tuition and this sum has been allowed to accumulate during the past few years

 The market for investment and central business prop erty has greatly improved. There is an especial activity in semi-business property which indicates confidence in the future growth and expansion of Birmingham.
 Demand for high-class res idence property continues to increase as the public realizes that this class of property is very limited and that it will be some time before there can be further development and improve ments made. This is espe- cially true of our Country Club property where lots are sold at pre-war prices which in many cases do not more than equal the present cost of improvements.

The SAN MARCO TABLET

An event of great interest to the state of Florida
took place today at ST. Augustine when the his
torcal tablet marking old Fort Marion was pre-
sented to the United States by the Colonial
Danes.
Three important dates were celegrated at the
unveiling The founding Of the fort in 1858, the
birth Of George Washington in 1882 and the adj
mission of Florida as territory of the United
States in l62l. ST. Augustine is widely known
as the oldest city in America but it is not general
y understood that Fort Marion is the oldest forti-
hcation, although its usefulness in military sense
has long since departed.
The unwilling of this tablet calls forcble at
tention TO the early history of Florida. In 1888,
when the fort was built America was a wilder
ness The Virginia colony at Jamestown was
fighting Indians and lodging famine. The thrift
Ter settlement at Plymouth Rock had barely Sc
cured its foothold. The Spanish had conquered
Mexico and Peru and had started few settle
ments in what is now the United States. But
even then St. Augustine was a venerable town. with
a romantic history and a promising future, and
Florida itself was old in story.
More than a hundred and twenty years had
passed since Ponce de Leon, searching for the
fountain of youth, had explored Florida One
hundred and ten had flown since the Inflated ex-
pedtion of Panhlo de Narvaez landed in this
state. Nienty nine had gone by since De Soto
landed at Tampa Bay and started to cut his way
through the Wilderness to find his grave in the Mis-
sssippi river. Yet this fortress was founded 283
years ago-a hundred and forty eight years be-
fore the signing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence.
The Colonial Danes deserve applause for their
patriotic spirit and determined perseverance in
bringing the difficult task of establishing this inter
esting tablet to a successful conclusion.

A TRAP FOR DEMOCRATS
(Tampa Times)

We believe President Wilson will make tao
teal and political mistake if he vetoes the Ford
ney Emergency Tariff bill. We aware that it is
in conflict with all his political principles and be-
liefs but still believe that ii would leave the
party in much better shop if he should permit it
to become law, if it reaches that stage before
March 4. 1t is the purest kind of camoufage,
simply political bunk and it looks very much as
if it were trap laid for the democratic party.
1t cannot afford relief to the farmer in any way,
and its promoters are aware of the fact. 1t opens
no new markets. and cannot raise the prizes of the
formers products i'll the markets of the world.
But it will undoubtedly before it is finally
passed. contain provisions in the interest of the
'veted industrs" which already a heavy bur-
den to the consuming masses. If it is vetoed by
the president, it gives the Republicans chance
to come before the people with the claim that they
devised measure Of relief, which was killed by a
Democratic president There will be no way of
refuting an argument of that kind, and the Dem
ocrats will have to bear the onus of refusing the
country relief in a serious crisis. On the contrary
if the bill becomes law, the people will soon
find out for themselves what humbug il is and
lose faith in Republican promises. If the Demo
Gratis are wise they will steer clear of this Repub
will steer clear ofetaoinshrdlu taoin mfyp mhw
lcan trap. But when were the Democrats ever
wise?
