 WILSONIAN DEMOCRACY

From the Washington Star.
 There is such brand of democracy, and it is rapidly manifesting itself in this years campaigns.
 In Missouri Breckenridge Long is a Will sonian democrat, and if he retires MT. Reed and reaches the Senate he will recognize MT. Wilson as his leader. He holds no card in the game upon which he places greater reliance
 A candidate for the Senate in Massachusetts announces as "a Woodrow Wilson democrat" This is, of course, bid for the Wilson nflu- ence. MT. Lodge is the bete noir of the Will sonians, not only in the Bay State, but in all the other states and they are keen for his de- feat.
 Representative Pou of North Carolina is candidate to succeed himself but has demo- cratic opposition. Asked by supporter of MT. Pou for an expression to the latter's services in Congress, MT Wilson replied with a testimonial in which he said: "He has cer tainly been a most conscientious and useful member of the House, and throughout my ad- ministration rendered me and the cause believe in the most constant and generous service.'' This enables Mir. Pou to read his title clear to the support of Wilsonian demo- crats in his district.
 Thus, as is seen, Wilsonansm is showing it. self as far east as Massachusetts, as far south as North Carolina and as far in the interior as Missouri. Will it not be showing itself all over the country by the time nominations are all in?

PRlvArEs COMMAND OFFICERS

"The legion section of the parade tomorrow will be divided into 10 divisions said George Lewis Bailes, post commander of the American Legion. "One of these will be constituted by the 40 and 8 and will be commanded by Chief Comrade Joe Yates. unique feature of the legion section of the parade will be the fact that ten bAck privates' will command the-10 di- visions.
 Tt will be interesting to see these comrades who did not happen to have commissions while in the service ordering colonels, majors, cap tains and lieutenants to fall in, and right dress and 'double-tme.'

SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD"

When a Cincinnati school teacher whipped one of his pupils the boys mother sought dam ages in court The judge is quoted saying, "This boy was not unduly punished. My mother whacked me ten times as hard as this boy was struck, and I'm no worse, but rather better because of it. Discipline in the schools must be maintained, and this boy required dis cipline."
 Commenting on the incident, the Chattanooga Times says
 Maybe after all. we are going to get back to
 sensible view of rights duties of the school
 teacher the obligation that rests the pupil
 to behave while under the jurisdiction of tho state
 That parent expects too much when he she claims
 the benefit of an education for his her children
 without admitting the right of the teacher to
 obedience and observance of established rules
 There would be less cause to criticise the way wardness of boys and girls if strict discipline were maintained both at home and In the schools. There can be no question that the boy liberty, and as a result they show contempt for the admonitons of their elders which bodes no good for their future The young miss who assdmes the airs of flapper almost as soon as she learns how to talk and the boy who apes the man about town show the wrong kind of precocity. Young girls who know more about the seamy side of life than many of their mothers do and boys who drive hgh-powered motor cars and occasionally drink 'hooch" in an alley may outgrow those symptoms and turn out to be useful citizens, but the prospects are not encouraging.
 It is customary for older people to criticise 
 the younger element. That's old story. It has been going on ever since youthful en- thusiasm first had to compete with elderly mod eration, yet hardly anyone will deny that boys and girls are more impatient under restraint and are more reckless in their conduct in the small towns and cities of America than they ever were before

CITY MANAGER QUITS HIS
 POST IN COLUMBUS

City Manager H. Gordon Hinkle left Colum- bus, Ga., in his automobile for Altoona, Pa., his former home, and it is not believed in Colun- bus that he will ever return.
 The departure of MT. Hinkle followed lawless outbreaks in Columbus, during which the city manager was assaulted and the residence of Mayor J. Homer Dimon was bombed Anony- nous letters threatened the lives of both the city manager and the mayor. MT. Hinkle ad- dressed letter to Thomas w. Loyless, editor of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, in which he said he had been trying for five weeks to persuade the city commissioners to let him "clean house." but they had refused, and the situation had "become intolerable."
 Reports from Columbus indicate that most . Of the resentment aroused against Mir. Hinkle and Mayor Dimon, who was ordered to dis charge Hinkle, was due to his attempts to run Columbus on business rather than a po- litical basis Grafters, bootleggers and off cials who drew large salaries from the city for doing nothing in particular are charged with uy1ng to oust MT. Hinkle, so they could con- tinue to pander to vice and prosper at the ex- pense of the city's taxpayers.
 MT. Loyless has fought vigorously in the Enquirer-Sun to improve conditions in Colum- bus, and has been warm in his denunciation of tho outbreaks which led to the bombing of Mayor Dimon's home and the departure of City Manager Hinlde- In his farewell letter, Nr. Hinkle thanked him for his bold stand in favor of law enforcement.
 The lawless element of Columbus has ap- parently arrayed itself against the better ele- msnt of its citizenship. Here in Birmingham mob violence eliminated in the fogging of . prominent public official. Birmingham and Cslumbus have serious problem before them.

IS THIS THE LARKi

From the London Mercury. Is this the lark Lord Shakespeare heard Out of the dark Of dawn! Is this the bird That stirred Lord Shakespeare's heart? Is this the bird whose wing, Whose rapturous antheming, Rose up, scared radiant, became Sharp flame To Shelley listening And made him sing, Throbbing alone.. aloof fervoredly apart, His profuse strains of unpremeditated art! To think that should hear him now Telling that single fiery rift of heaven a wild
 lark comesv ' The fresh cool scent of earth yearns at the
 blow; In short keen rapid flurries the woodpecker To think that I should hear that mad thing
 sliding Along smoking opal ladder! Hear that inevitable deluge of music riding Into the sun, richer now-fainter now-mad-
 der! To think that should hear and know The song that Shelley heard, and Shakespeare,
 long ago!

Special Correspondence of the Daily News.l
 On Board S. S. Canopic (more than three miles at sea. )-In his home town of Des Moines, Ia., Wallace J. Hawkins<had heard something about prohibition. But he had not allowed himself to be discouraged by what he heard. His acquaintance with the subject was respon- sible for shipboard mystery that occupied the attention of three detectives, two dining room stewards, three assistant deck stewards, smoking room steward, five stewards unat- tached and J. M. Jenkins, late of Scotland Yard, during the first few days of the voyage.
 On the first day out, just before the ship touched Halifax, MT. Hawkins was detected at midnight marching through the deck companionway in his pajamas with a pair of binoculars swung over his shoulder
 Where are you going" inquired the fourth assistant companionway steward.
 q am about to make few observations" ;" said Mir. Hawkins.
 You'll catch jolly old cold" replied the fourth assistant companionway steward. 'It's blowing bloody gale, sir, and the decks are awash with washing powder.'
 T never said anything about the deck," said MT. Hawkins. "I eschew decks like the very P0btASs my observations from the vantage point of bathtub."
 And he left the fourth assistant companion way steward standing in wonderment outside the bathroom door.
 On the next night hs was discovered as he disappeared through an open hatch in the steerage carrying long telescope. It was at this juncture that the ships officers became interested in him. Th9 Canopic shipped cargo of bar silver at Halifax, and the watch over the hold was unusually vigilant.
 Shortly after eight bells this morning he was discovered by the watchers pursuing his lonely quest in the stern of the boat, attired only in an overcoat and camera.
 "The light is bit poor in the hold at mid night,' said MT. Jenkins late of Scotland Yard. Photographic enterprises of this sort will bear watching"
 So they gave chase. MT. Hawkins promptly disappeared.
 After 30 minutes of complicated flight MT. Hawkins burst through the first open door he came to and dropped gasping into seat
 q surrender,' he murmured when the pur- suers dashed in upon him. "But you won't get any of the stuff. I drank it on the run.'
 What stuff" whatted MT. Jenkins
 My hooch," declared MT. Hawkins with an air of pride. 'T may be arrested now, but have the satisfaction of knowing that I slipped a gallon of the finest moonshine grown in Gary aboard this boat. carried a two-eye-opener set of binoculars, three-pint telescope and two-quart camera. Now do your worst.'
 'My word," said Mr. Jenkins. "If you aren't spoofing me believe you have actually car ried alcoholic liquor aboard this boat'
 He was interrupted by the arrival of the act ing smoking room steward bearing trayfu of liquid with flashpoint of '96. MT. Hawkins eyes widened.
 Where did he get that?" he gasped.
 "In the bar," said MT. Jenkins maliciously. "What will you have?"
 T thought this boat was dry" said MT. Haw- kins just before he fainted.s

"I was very much impressed with the national health exhibit which visited at Indianapolis" said Dr. J. D. Bowling.
 "It is both instructive and educational, and if Birmingham is able to secure it for a short time this fall the city will be more than re- paid in increased health interest and activity I will do all in my power to bring the exhibit here, and have already taken the matter up with the proper government officials

SCHOOL BOYS SEEK WORK

Many boys of the city who are in school during the past year will be out during the coming week and many will be looking for jobs,' said Jeff Bell.
 q am working on the same proposition this summer as last, as are many other college boys of the city. It seems much better to me to tackle something of the pay is not so great than to loaf all the summer and for parents to keep up all the school expense"

From the Huntsville Times.

.OENY COMPLAINT;
FIND INSURANCE CO.
POLICY STANDARD

The state corporation commission
yesterday rendered an opinion dis
missing the complaint of the Phoenix
Title and Trust company against the
Scottish Union and National Insur-
ance company which was heard be-
fore the commission last october.
This was a complaint that the de-
PENDANT company was issuing form
of mortgage clause in insurance poll
cies which was not one of the three
standard clauses approved by the de-
partment OF insurance Of the state
Of New York and, therefore, the New
York Standard form.
The case grew out Of a mortgage
which the complaining company held
on 10 acres of land and improvements
owned by Samuel e. Stages and wife
near Phoenix. The mortgage. dated
1917, provided for insurance OF the
improvements in the amount Of $1,000.
The following March, Stages insured
the property in the respondent COM
pany in the amount of $500. The
policy itself was the New York stan
liard form and attached to 1t was
rider containing a form i'll general
use in Arizona and the states west
of the Mississippi river.
In November of that year the
Stages conveyed the property to a
purchaser and the respondent con-
sented to the assignment Of the poll
.cy. Later the property passed into
the hands Of another purchaser and
Arizona republican., 1922-01-20

! agreement and deed were placed in
escrow with the Phoenix Title and
Trust company. Still later the agree
ment of purchase and sale was as
signed to George L. Billingsley who
recorded the assignment. The as
signment was not filed in the escrow
but the complainant admitted knowl-
edge Of Billingsley's interest in the
property. Billingsley insured the
property with a local company for
$4,000 and the complainant was not
notified Of this insurance and the
policy was not expressly made pay
able to the company.
Subsequent to the assignment of
the contract to Billingsley, the pur-
chaser from the Stages made con-
veyance to one Bessie Reed subject
to the outstanding contract to the
assignor to Billingsley. No notice
was given the respondent of either
OF these conveyances and no assign
ment of the policy was given. The
property was destroyed by fire, and
out Of the attempted adjustment of
the loss litigation arose, now pend
ing in the superior court of this
county.
This, Of course, is a matter OF no
concern to the commission which
could deal only with irregularities in
the form of the rider.
