A CASE WHERE A MOLE HILL MAY
 BECOME A MOUNTAIN

Some of the ministerial brethren continue to lambast the newspapers of Birmingham for de- voting so much space to trivial dance hall" at East Lake. There is an old adage, remem- bered by those of us who went to school with shining morning face," that "Gant oaks from little acorns grow"
 Most of the people who have taken an interest in this matter don't dance, or if they do, they don't expect to dance at East Lake, It isn't so much question of whether we shall Have a municipal dance hall or not, as it is resent ment against the growing spirit of intolerance and the overweening desire to regulate" right and left, which has run riot in this country and instead of bringing people into churches, is keeping them out.
 The dance controversy is not in itself the most important problem before the people of Birmingham, but it touches upon what they re- gard as their personal liberty and majority rule, supposed to be the foundation of demo- cratic government. The famous Boston tea party was trivial, but it had far-reaching re- suits.
