INFLUENCE OF THE DEMACOCUE
 WANING IN THE SOUTH

Southern voters have long been criticised for electing demagogues to office. They seem about to mend their ways. The notorious Cole L. Blease was defeated in his race for the gov ernorship of South Carolina in the democratic run-off Tuesday. His opponent, Thomas G. Mcleod, a lawyer and farmer, won by more than 1000 votes. James K. Vardaman, who aspired to return to the United States Senate, was defeated in the run-off primary in Mis- sissippi.
 But lest we overrate these indications of re- turning sanity among the citizens of South Carolina and Mississippi, it should be borne in mind that eliminating Vardaman and Blease was no easy task. In the case of both men, run-off was necessary. In the first South Car oina primary Blease led the field. In the first

places. Jasper and Walker county decency would rise up en masse if masked ruffians tried to retaliate on them for advocating law en- forcement.
 The floggings that have disgraced this and other states during past months have been the work of persons who have felt immune because the victims and those who could throw light on some of the outrages have been timid in supplying officers with evidence. Now that the mass strength of communities has been aroused and mass sentiment is crystallizing against this form of lawlessness, the pastime of flogging will become less safe for the ruff fans who practice it.
 The limit of endurance is reached when the law-abiding citizens of a community are threatened with dire consequences because they stand for law. The southern people are not going to suffer a cowardly minority to destroy government, which would be the case if this lawlessness were not stopped.
 Having reached the braggadocio stage we may now look for the rapid decrease of night riding.

NOT DEAD-oUR SoULi

Edward S. Van File, in the New York World. You Americans have got the gold of the world but we English have saved our souls.-- IRudyard Kipling.
 l. Three hundred thousand killed and maimed- that was the price we paid; You say it slew the soul of us, this sacrifice we made? Two millions on the soil of France-three thousand miles of sea- Is that theme unworthy of your magic mln- strelsy? Far-flung as England's fighting men in lesser were thrown, Our raw recruits were victors where the peril was your own. The Channel ports and Sussex, and old Lon- don, in the end, Had you the strength, without us, to safeguard and defend? Your own you gave-your son who sleeps where rest the valiant dead, But twas our sons who followed where your lost hero led Who loosens ties that hold the world together for it's good Forgets the pact they sealed in blood who fell in Belleau Wood.
 ". Be not deceived, as small men are. Colds not our God on high Our spirit is not sordid and our sons know how to die. And if thezcall shall come to us, as but anon it came, God grant you'll hymn the soul of us-not chatter of our shame

PRACTICAL ALTRUISM APPLIED
 TO EDUCATION

Industrial operators are making substan- tial bequests to the technical institutions of the country in what might be termed the usual course of business. It matters not what name is applied to this form of giving, it.is serving the nation in training young men for the big jobs that require exact knowledge.
 The General Electric company has present. ed Auburn with an oscillographc outfit for the electrical engineering department, valued at more than $3,000 In presenting this gift officials of the company write: "We have been taking men from Auburn since the early sos, or practically 30 years, and large percentage of these men have developed into experts who are today holding responsible positions throughout this country and the world"
 Before every graduation day at Auburn, officials of the General Electric company go there to select recruits for their factory train ing schools. These young men are provided living while they are being given post-gradu- ate courses fitting them for remunerative em- ployment The company is naturally inter- ested Tn haVlng US Iuture supply ol men pre- pared for the postgraduate course and hence is helping itself while it helps the engineering department at Auburn and the young men of Alabama.
 But for supplementary donations to support and equip our institutions of higher learning they could not serve as they should. Auburn has received inadequate support from taxation. it's hope is in the success of the present drive for $1,000,O0O, free scholarships, the gener- osity of individuals and the practical altruism i of industrial concerns.

LITTLE KNOWN LIvELIHooDs

From the New York Telegram.
 Every industry has it's mysteries for the common run of folks whose groove is firmly fixed. There are thousands of persons in the world whose daily vacations are unknown to,-the rank and file. There are factors in the collateral branches of industry of which persons reasonably familiar with industry as a whole never heard.
 Just for test ask your tailor what "teasel' is. He will probably answer you that it is "a bad boy who pokes fun at my whiskers. But not a yard of woolens fabric passes through that sefsame tailor's hands that has not been "teasled,' and the production of teasel is an important industry in our own northwest.
 :. Out in the recesses of the state of Wash ington there is a little colony of farmers who grow the odd crop. The dried heads of the teasel plant are used by the woolen weavers to raise the nap on their product. It takes three wears for teasel field to come into that state of bearing where it's heads are useful.
 But this is just one industrial mystery of the present crop of dog day news. A chap out in Sterling, Ill., lays claim to being the worlds champion woodchuck destroyer, ana is picking up a slick living staying the big rodents and collecting the state bounty. His record for the last year was 2.000
 Over in Bermidji, Minn., two farmers have applied to ths state fish and game commission for permission to stock a muskrat breeding farm. Fur, of course, is their real object, but where is the native of the eastern shore of Maryland whose mouth will not water at the thought of all the muskrat he could de- your?
 There are so many different ways of mak- ing an honest living, if will only keep ones eyes open, that it is wonder there are so many folks who can't run straight.

NATION REJOICES OVER
 ENDING OF STRIKE

The best news that has been printed in the newspapers in many a day is the announce ment that the rail strike is ended. The coal strike has already been settled, and the miners are back at work. With these two industrial disputes out of the way, this country is destined to enjoy the greatest prosperity it has ever known.
 Industry and business have been marking time waiting for the word to go. By em- ploying all the men they can hire the rail- roads will soon put their equipment into run ming order, and the car shortage will be . thing of the past. With an adequate supply of fuel assured, industry will hum. Great enter prises which have been held up by the strikes will be carried forward to completion. The accumulated energy that has been stored up for months will be set free.
 Everybody wants to go to work. The whole country has been seething with impatience and the effect of the strike settlement will be electric. All indications point to winter of unprecedented activity throughout the United States. The road to normalcy now lies straight ahead.

MASSACHUSETTS, TRUE TO FORM,
 RENOMINATES LODGE

determined effort was made to defeat Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in Massachusetts, but Woodrow's Wilson's arch enemy won in the primaries with ease. Although great deal of interest was aroused by the efforts being made to unseat Lodge, who is as typical of Massachusetts as the sacred codfish, there was no expectation that he would be defeated
 There are number of reasons why Sen ator Lodge has hold Massachusetts that no political combination seems able to break. average American politician it is possible for man to be. He has wealth, arstocratic antecedents and reputation for scholarship that is international. If he has ever grasped the grimy hand of voter or mingled with the base-born crowd. it must have been an ex- perience foreign to his habits and his disposi- tion.
 There is a great deal of conservatism Tn New England, especially in Massachusetts. Perhaps it is an inheritance from English cestry. Senator Lodge is conservative. He is the kind of citizen the people of Massachu- sets look up to and admire, even though to some of them he may be remote figure, nov ing in select circles and not to be slapped on the back by every Tom, Dick and Harry. Then, too Senator Lodge, by his long career in Washington and his literary attainments, has conferred distinction on Massachusetts which fellow citizens appreciate. History may give him scant paragraph or two, but his native state thinks otherwise and unless some unfor- seen and as yet unlikely upheaval takes place, Henry Cabot Lodge will continue to represent as long as he lives or desires to do so.

NEED SIDEWALK COPS"

Traffic cops alone do not seem sufficient for the city," said Judge Alvin Douglas. "It seems that we are going to need police to keep the sidewalks clear and insist on. sidewalk courtesy For the past few days not only my self but a number of friends have had to walk around crowds which have congregated in the middle of the sidewalk for social chat. It appears to me it would be just as easy to step to the side for little conversation and avoid being showed and knocked against by passers by. The sidewalks in our city are nice and broad and if the public would only remember to step back few feet it would be quite an ac- commodation to the average pedestrian.n

LETTERS TO EDITOR
DEMoPoLIs CEMENT TO BE USED

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The Gulf States Portland Cement company, located on the high and historic lime chalk bluffs of the Warrior river at Demopolis. have just been awarded contract by the United States government for a large amount of their Warrior brand cement for use in the resumption of work at Muscle Shoals dam and other concrete structural work there, of which 15,000 barrels are called for immediate de- livery.
 Not only grateful and delighted are the of ficials of this big local enterprise over having secured this contract for their Warrior brand merely because some Is or 20 companies were bidding for this contract, but their product has previously been used at Muscle Shoals and the government in awarding contract for additional supplies must have done so in recognition of high merit gained by actual test. Moreover the fact that Alabama cement is going into the greatest of Alabama's industrial development project should be creative of patriotic delight with all Alabamans who hold the future of their great state at heart
 Your correspondent can in this connection but hope this same element of forward look ing patriotism will not be asleep on the day when soon to vote upon the Mobile port amendment. Let's put that project oyer at all events. Remember the dream of Nor gan and Bankhead and others of our great Ala bamians who have crossed over the river where no locks and dams are necessary, but where the Great Judge sits on His throne and with whom these great men have made inter- cession that those of us remaining will be blessed with desire to develop further and to continue to develop our singularly great natural resources. Not only did they dream of Alabama cement going into the construction of what is now Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals, but they labored and worked and struggled against heavy odds for all-year navigation from Mobile up the Tombigbee-Wa rivers into the coal and iron fields of the state ana passing wel-nigh inexhaustible deposits of ce- ment material at and around Demopois. In the work at Washington. and at home own George Washington Taylor, now retired from political life deserves special mention, and he also while living sees his fondest dream coming true. To improve the port of Mobile is merely an abject necessity if our only harbor is to
