x x x BANKS BECOME MEMBERS OF TRAFFIC BUREAU

Two Birmingham banks have joined the Bir- mingham Traffic bureau. Apparently these banks are throwing away money. But they are not. In helping to maintain the bureau at high point of efficiency they are contributing: to the welfare of the community through that of the merchant shippers. In the end, tho in- vestment comes back to the banks in the larger deposits and financial operations of business men who profit by the bureau.
 Sir Thomas More was not altogether dreamer when he wrote Utopia" that picture of state of society where men so fully realize their interdependence for good or evil that no man will deny his obligation to contribute to the support of institutions which serve com. munity interest
 Banker members will probably never call fof service from the traffic bureau. They are not in the shipping business. Freight and express rates cut no figure in the/ conduct of their business as such. Nevertheless whenever freight rate is secured that enables the es- tablishment of an industry here or increased operations for going concern, they have served to make bigger Birmingham with big ger banks, larger pay rolls and that greater prosperity which banks will share in common with the remainder of the community.

TELL IT IN STATUES"

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 We learn from the London Telegraph that Americans have a delightfully."- expressive phrase which one often observes over their florist shops, namely, Tell it in flowers The writer is commenting upon Sir Charles Wake fields offer to present statues of Edmund Burke and Lord Chatham to this country, and sug gest, in that connection, that England adopt the paraphrase, "Tell 1t in statues"
 Continuing, he calls attention to the almost total absence of British art, plastic and picto- rial in the American capital He found La fayette of Rochambeau on almost every corner in Washington. Even our late enemy was repre- sented by the heroic figure of Frederick the Great in front of the army war college. But Great Britain was chiefly remembered by va rious reproductions of the unflattering incl dent wherein Cornwalls turned his side arms over to General Washington.
 Sir Charles offer is timely and generous. The choice of Burke and Chatham as subjects is fc- licitous and appropriate. Meantime let us di- vert ourselves with that enthusiastically tive phrase, "Tell it in flowers" How American! 1! It fairly reeks of the plains and forests. Oh Albion! Oh, fancyt

THE GoRcAs STEAM PLANT
the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Referring to your editorial in The Age Herald of Sunday protesting against the under- taking by the government to dispose of the War rior extension of our Gorgas steam plant by transferring it to MT. Ford, we believe that you have, by this editorial, performed great public service. The entire plant at Gorgas is necessary to a reserve plant for our system, and this effort of those interested in the Ford offer to have the government turn over this property to Mir. Ford has made it necessary for us to enter a protest before the military affairs committee and to ask for a hearing to protect our rights.
 We have a valid contract with the govern ment touching this extension, which cannot be taken away except by extraordinary and un- usual condemnation proceedings, if, indeed, we can be deprived of this property by such 8 proceeding. We have performed in good faith our obligations under the contract, and we fully believe Congress will see the injustice and unfairness of such proposed course not only to our company but also to the industries and municipalities in large section of Alabama served by our company. Yours very truly,
 THOMAS W. MARTIN,
 President Alabama Power Company.

MERIDIAN RATE DECISION ATTACKS STATE RATES

The Meridian rate case has become almost as famous as ''Jarndyce V Jarndyce" The inter- state commerce commission has decided it for the sixth time. Alabama's custodians of her intrastate rates as little pleased as ever, and in all probability will make another figh. forspostponement and review.
 Tie one certain thing about the decision is that,it again assails the Alabama intrastate rate fabric. It does that directly only as territory lin Alabama 200 miles from Meridian is con, cerned, which embraces Birmingham, Tusca. loosa, Selma, Montgomery and other cities, and only the Southern and two other roads are af. fected by the decision, because they alone are party defendants in the action. But if tho ritory and on the defendant roads, the prn. cpIe could eventually be applied to the re- mainder of Alabama and the entire intrastate rate system abolished
 In broad way the decision is that rates from Meridian to points in this territory must not be higher than rates from Alabama points in that territory to other Alabama points. The Alabama rates being lower than the rates from Meridian, the defendant roads are granted the right to raise the Alabama rates to the Me ridan level.
 This would cause confusion. Roads other than those bound by the decision could charge less than the defendant roads between common points an dto points in Alabama just outside the rim of the affected territory could continus charging intrastate rates. Traffic men claim that the practical effect of the decision would be to establish more determinations than it cures.
 Traffic bureaus and the public service com. mission are fully awake to the far-reaching ef- feet of the decision and are planning action to protect the intrastate rates.

Washington is of vast importance to themselves and to the world, but the example they have given of mems ability to settle their differ ences without resorting to armed conflict will hape an even greater bearing on humanity's future
 The old order has been reversed. Nations formerly held their peace conferences after an exhausting struggle on the field of battle. In Washington the specter of war was bsnished and better understanding created before an have led to war were taken up, judicially exam ined and settled in spirit of compromise and good will. That is the only way by which hu- manity will ever be able to abolish war; and the precedent established by the nations who participated in the Washington conference should be followed by the other nations of the world.
 The naval holiday will doubtless be pro- longed, and will take in other powers when the time limit expires. The conference which has just ended in Washington has paved the way for others that will meet in the future on broader scale.
 It is now the duty of the United States Senate to ratify the treaties which have been agreed to by the American representatives and their associates. In 12 weeks more has been accom- plished to insure peace and to reduce the bur den of mlitarsm than ever before. It is an extraordinary achievement, one of which we in America can well afford to feel proud, as the conference originated in this country, but a full measure of credit belongs to the other nations whose cooperation made success pos sible.

AGRICULTURE IN MEXICO

Herbert Ingram Priestly, in the North American
 Review.
 The department of agriculture continues it's active policy of endeavoring to improve farm- ing conditions throughout the republic. It is sending respectable number of young men to the best agricultural schools in the United States It is establishing new agricultural institution at Chapingo, near Mexico City, and during the past year one of it's representatives has been canvassing our agricultural colleges for good instructors to place in that school and at the head of the school at Tacuba in the cap ital. German agriculturists are also sought. Implements for farm labor are imported duty free. A liberal budget has been requested-for the operations of the coming fiscal year. An effort to provide agricultural loan banks to protect small proprietors from extortionate rates of interest in financing their operations has still to be worked out.
 If extreme radcalism can be prevented from destroying confidence by senseless expropria- tions, if irrigation and credits can be estab- lshed to catch pace with the needs, the land of Mexico may be brought to contribute normal measure of the food supplies of which the country stands in such perpetual need.
 The forced resignation of General Vilareal from the secretaryship of agriculture last De- cer.yer, after investigation of the acts of his subordinates by the President may safely be considered hopeful sign that less radical measures will prevail in future. President Obre- gon, in sympathy with the revolutionary strus gle in behalf of the indigent rural population, indicates a scommendable desire to protect property interest to saner degree than some of his subordnates.
 The wrath of the nation against age-old agra rian abuses needs careful direction toward san ty. the elimination of political self-interest and social ruthlessness, and admontion that haste made slowly brings the most rapid and sub stantial progress.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
woopLAWN BROTHERHOOD GLASS

To the Editor of The Age Herald;
 One of the great moral forces of this city is the Wesley Brotherhood class of Woodlawn Methodist church of about 200 men, working to- gether for the relief of the suffering, sorrowful and distressed in our community and for the spiritual welfare and growth of our city.
 From time to time this class is addressed at their morning hour by talented men of the city and southern Methodism. Last Sabbath mornin gat 9:30 we had the great privilege of listening to our talented senior judge of the circuit court. W. E. Fort gave us an inspiring lecture on the lesson assigned, bringing out in his strong, forceful way the rugged, sturdy and J incorruptible character of the great prophet, Elijah; pointing out the need of our nation for the lives and activity of such men, and apply ing the lesson to be derived from such char acter to our daily life, exhorting the 130 men who gathered to hear him to apply such sterling and sturdy integrity in their daily life, beau tifully Illustrating our duty to our state and nation and the exercise of our privileges as citizens in the franchise and in the jury room.
 We are deeply indebted to Judge Fort for his splendid and thoughtful discourse, and the men gathered there one in expressing their qualification and pleasure at having been per mitted to hear this address,
 It was through the activity of our popular and honored teacher, James V. Pogue, that we enjoyed such a message as that brought by Judge Fort. It is his policy to bring us such talented men from time to time, and we take this opportunity of expressing our fealty and appreciation of him as a fine Christian gentle man and our brother.
 The officers of this class are: R. B. Broyles, president; s. E. Call, vice president; s. D. Vann secretary and J. A. Hynds treasurer, and the class is growing in numbers every week.
 Our ambition is the relief of any in distress of whatever creed or denomination.
 s. D. VAIN, Secretary.

TASK TO CHECK PETITIONS

Checking up the names the petitions for a referendum election on the East Lake dancing proposition is bigger job than most people imagine" says George Whitfield of the probate court office.
 "Each of the names and addresses given in the petition has to be checked up against the voting lists in order to see if those signing the petitions are qualified voters, as only those qualified to vote count on the petitions. An other difficulty is that of deciphering some of the names and addresses given, Some of them are written badly that it almost takes handwriting expert to read them. On the other hand, some of the signatures are written beau tifully, but are hard to read because of the flourishes given by their owners. Many of them, however, are written in a bold, easily legible hand, and can be read without any trouble.
 Owing to the large number of signatures and addresses which must be deciphered and checked up, it will be several days yet before the task ie competedp

 BRAND CALLS GOLF SILLY"

From the New York Times.
 M. Briand is quoted as having spoken disrs- spectfully of golf! In clear and rather unkindly reference to Lloyd George, the former French premier is reported to have said: "Englishmen never cease to be children. Cannot you enjoy a country walk without hitting silly little baii?" ,ea-t ae
 These be dreadful words in the ears of golf CTS, but--well for non-players fthat ancient game they voice a perfectly comprehensible wonder. Its charms are hidden in a deep mys- tery from the uninitiate and only experience can revea land teach them.
 M. Briand has excuse for not being in the best of tempers at present, and, as Breton, he naturally would not take to golf, but his opinion will not surprise quite so many people as golfers would like to believe.

A BERNHARDT ANEcDoTE

Arthur Row, in Lesie's Weekly.
 A Bernhardt story often told will repeat as it happened, not have seen it several times in print, for the simple reason the truth is too humiliating to certain financier of worldwide repute, who can just well be nameless. This gentleman was famous among other things for his library, which still exists. His librarian, distinguished woman and an ardent friends of the French actress, had invited her to visit this remarkable library. Sarah was to arrive at one. During the morning the librarian referred to Sarah's expected visit, casually, to the mag nate. He replied caustieally that "actresscs were not welcome" in his library. The secre- tary gently reminded him that his guest was a little more than that; indeed, great and illus trious woman. He said: Well, I will not be here to receive her. and he left the library. Madame was soon announced As luck would have it, he had to return soon to get needed book. Madame approached him with all her wonted charm and grace. He essayed to move away She blithely leaned over, clutched his necktie and said: "When I speak men listen" He remained and they became friends.
 There is no record of Madame Bernhardt ever having had any experience socially like this before, nor have trades people been prone to "do' her. On one tour she was "hesitating for an hour so in some western town, and occupied some rooms in a hotel for a little re- pose. The proprietor charged her manager $40. MT. Sullivan, her manager, politely re- quested bill. When asked the need of a blll, MT. Sullivan tersely responded he wished to have it photographed for the American press, as a curio and reminder of the only hotel proprietor who had ever attempted to hold up Sarah Bernhardt.

DR. HENpRIx,s TRIBUTE TO MUSIC

'In reference to the concert to be given on February 15 by the Junior Music Study club at the First Methodist church, when the Emory Glee club will be the attraction, would like to say that this club is from our own Metho- dist college and bespeaks consideration" said Dr. W. R. Hendrix, pastor of Highlands Methodist church. q cannot too much empha- size musics place in our lives, and at some future time want to make series of talks on secular amusements which are wholesome and beneficial to the Christian life-music, literature and art, but especially music, without which the full life is not complete. Many of us lead the broken life,' not well rounded, but the full life must have for one of it's phases beautiful music. Any musical organization which Is helping to give people the opportunity of hear ing and enjoying the highest type of music is doing good work"
