LONDON MOURNS LOSS OF
 GREAT COMMONER"

MT. Bryan's title of "commonet" has little distinction in a country where we are all con- moners, great and small, but it made Arthur J. Balfour unique among Englsnd's public men. Possibly it is realization of this fact, or the changed attitude toward titles attrib- uted to the democratic effects of the World war that explains the rather doeful comment in London newspapers on Sir Arthurs accept ance of the Order of the Garter, recently con ferred on him by King George.
 The London Star says: '1t will take long time to get accustomed to MT. Balfour in the strange guise of Sir Arthur. Frankly, we grieye at the honor of knighthood conferred on him because in our view the title of Mister great man better. We congratulate him sadly" Other newspapers in London echo the sentiments of the Star including the Evening News, Pail Mall Gazette and the Evening Standard.
 Tradition hath it that Sir Arthur resisted the blandishments of royalty for years, but either as a result of his weakened condition
  after his arduous labors in Washington, the excitement of Princess Mary's wedding, par tiality to the Order of the Garter or for some other reason not yet explained, he surrendered after refusing honors previously offered him by the crown.
 Surely there is no need to be alarmed over the transition from plain Mister to knight hood Unless we are much mistaken in Bal four, title won't make any difference in his habits of life and ways of thinking. He will be as great man as he ever was and quite as competent statesman, although there is no denying that in crowd of British digni- taries, all of them with high-sounding titles in front of their names, Arthur J. Balfour used to stand out, figuratively speaking, like the Rock of Gibraltar

MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY
 TO CENSOR ITSELF

The motion picture business is taking steps to ''clean house." For the purpose of "drum- ming out of camp" the undesirables admitted to be in it, a federation has been organized at Los Angeles by the Cinematographers associa- tion, the Writers guild, the Acton Equity ss- sociation and the Motion Picture Directors sociation.
 While the general purpose of the organiza- tion is to advance the motion picture art it's particular object is to require higher standards of personal conduct and sec that they are ad- hered to by members of the motion picture colony. Such means of getting rid of the "un- desirabes' arc to be adopted these: "Wrt- CTS will refuse to sell them stories; the Cinema togra phers will refuse to photograph them; the actors will refuse to appear in pictures with asm md the directors will refuse to direct hem
 Fl7ssk Woods, producing manager and 'esdss in the new movement, claims that the gass 'on picture industry whole has main t.laa5 standard of conduct that compared well with any other industry" but the drastic action being taken by organizations connected with motion pictures is an admission that there is need of reform.
 The motion picture industry has not main tained standard that compares well with other industries. It has been far below the average. It needs cleaning of its personnel badly, and that should be done without effort to pal Hate the real state of affairs.

WHAT FURNACES AND
 MINES STAND FOR

The outstanding feature of recent plant re- sumption has been the large number of men that it has taken from the ideness and placed on the employed list. Payrolls will be consid- erably increased by the blowing in of blast fur naces and greater production in coal mines.
 When blast furnace starts there is re- quarries. Additional batteries are lighted at cokng plants. There is more traffic for the railroads in hauling raw material and more traf- ie in carrying the product to the markets.
 The mining of coal is essentially man power industry. Whether coal is mined by pick or machine, the operation of mine calls for many classes of inside and outside men. That industry alone employs when in normal opera ton more than 27 ,Oo0 men on whom many more thousand are dependent.
 When blast furnaces and coal mines resume york company stores fill their shelves with goods bought from Birmingham wholesalers and manufacturers. The miner and the furnace hand begin to patronize company stores. The town merchants feels the results also.
 Blast furnaces and coal mines employ more men than any other industries, hence the re- sumption of four blast furnaces and the in- crease in coal production of 25 per cent since January 1 benefits the entire district.

MUSIC IN DADEvILLE

"0ne of the pleasant experiences that have had this season musically was the recital which I gave at Dadeville the past week." said Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen.
 My sister, Mrs o. R. Burns wife of the Rev. o. R. Burns, pastor of the Methodist church of Dadeville, invited in behalf of the Womans Missionary society of the church to give recital for its benefit and of course I was delighted to do so. The town, which has only about 2,000 population, assembled one of the most discriminating and appreciative audiences 1 have ever played to, and when I had to respond to two encores at the end of my program, besides a number during the pro gram, I really felt very happy at the pleasure I was able to give. In measure my piano recital was pioneer movement, as it was the first piano recital which had ever been given, and the prospect of one woman>playing tire program of piano music must have been awe-inspiripg to most of the inhabitants.

AN INTEMPERATE RISER

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 President John Quincy Adams was one of those uncomfortable persons who are up at work by some ungodly hour of the morning, and he was just bit vain about it--that is, as vain as a good Puritan ever allowed him. self to get. But still everybody knew that the President got up at and worked straight through to II. He was paying a visit to liar yard college one time when Justice Story of the supreme court was delivering series of lectures to the newly organized law school, and President Willard of Harvard another early riser, took him over to hear the judge.
 Now Story notorious bon vivant; he got up late and in other ways acted like civilized person. He began his lecture with the President of the United States seated at his right and the president of Harvard at his left. It was drowsy afternoon along in May. Pretty soon he heard litter from the audi ence and looking out of the corner of his eye what did he see but the President of the United States sound asleep. Then he looked over to the other side.

THE CORNER TURNED

'FThe corner has been turned and there is no cause for business men looking backward" said John W. Porter, vice president of the Alabama company. "The iron business is so much bet ter than it was some months ago and the iron-consuming trade so much more buoyant that we are justified in positive feeling of coli fidence in the future.
 Sails have been trimmed and the debris of fear swept aside. Time is ripe for a good steady business done on sound base. We come to the better state of affairs in a chastened mood, and l do not believe prices of any commodity will be recklessly advanced on rising markets Disposition will be rather to carefully nurture recuperating business and make it steady and lasting. But the corner has been turned and everyone is justified in telling himself that it has been.'

LETTERS TO EDITOR
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA

To the Editor of The Age-Herad:
 have noticed an article in one of the state papers calling for additional candidates for the office of lieutenant governor, the statement be- ing made that none of the candidates already announced measure up to the requirements of the position of governor, to which office the lieutenant governor might succeed in the event of an emergency.
 I am not acquainted with Senator Phillips of Lee county, but have known the Hon. Charles $. Mcdowell, Jr., of Eufaula for number of years, and I wish to voice my protest against any reflection upon his standing and ability as lawyer, citizen and a Christian gentle man. we'll qualified to fill the office of governor of Alabama if the emergency should arise.
 MT. Mcdowell is an experienced lawyer; he has been president of the State Bar association. has served in the house and in the senate, and is an experienced legislator. He is well ac- quainted with the state and it's needs. In ad- dition, he is conscientious Christian gentle man and an elder in the Presbyterian church.
 Sometimes it happens that a man not so well known develops in an emergency and gains strength and experience when new duties and responsibilities placed upon him. We had an illustration of this some years ago, when comparatively unknown newspaper man from Barbour county, fellow townsman of MT. McDowels, by reason of the death of the la mented Sanford, was elevated to the office of governor of Alabama. By reason of con stitutional change in the term of office of the governor, he held this office longer than any other Alabanian, and made record for busi- ness ability and gubernatorial administration which has not been surpassed either before or since, in Alabama, and at the expiration of his term of office this accidental governor" who was unanimously indo~sed for reelection by the people of Alabama, moved to Birmingham and in quiet and unostenta.ious way pro- ceeded to lay the foundation for ard build up very credtable life insurance cosapany, which is an achievement of which any man might feel proud.
 Barbour county has furnished many good governors to Alabama, and may furnish more. The names of Shorter and Jelks will long be known in the history of the state. I feel sure that MT. Mcdowell, if given an opportunity, will measure up to the same high standard which these gentlemen attained Yours very truly,
 JOHN B. WEAKLEY.

VISITED HIS MOTHER

q certainly enjoyed visit to my mother at Sheffield last week end" said o. L. Bum, manager of the Chamber of Commerce. "She is 84 years of age, yet is apparently as sound as a dollar, gets about the house as she did years ago and takes live interest in what is going on. Every once in while we children gather again at her side and feel like children again.
 Tt does mother good and it goes without saying that it is good for the sisters and brothers who attend these little family re- unions.

who fear that the service will be seriously crip- pied if the present mania for economy in Washington is carried much further. It is characteristic of the American government that it usually goes to extremes, whether in spend ing or saving money. It is proposed to cut down the army to little more than handful of men and reduce the navy personnel to figure between S0,000 and 90,O00 men.
 If the '1itttle army and little navy" state5- men had their way, we would soon have neither army navy. The arms conference has done much to insure peace in the future, but it has by no means made war impossible, and it looks if the painful lesson we learned but few years ago about preparedness had already been forgotten. We don't need huge navy and standing army of half million men, but we do need a navy sufficiently we'll manned and equipped to give the country pro- tection and an army large enough to form the nucleus of any force that might be required.

MANY SHIPS RETIRED BY SECRETARY DENBY

Retrenchment is hitting the navy hard. Sec retary Denby has announced that 50 additional destroyers and nearly 60 auxiliary naval ves- sells will be placed out of commission to save fuel. One hundred destroyers were ordered out of commission few days ago. Seventy six destroyers will be left in full commission and 40 with greatly reduced crews
 In addition to these ships, the secretary states that 92 other ships have been retired from active service since he entered office. The department has also disposed of 257 ob- sclete or auxiliary naval craft ard has 66 more on sale.

GORGAS
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herad:
 The boasted achievements of our captains of industry pale into insgnfcance beside that of General Gorgas The French failed with great wealth, while he succeeded with skill and devotion to duty. He demonstrated that the tropics be made habitable by and for the white man. He opened up new world, where the Orient can clasp hands with the Occident. He has made us neighbor to the vast shores washed by the Pacific and the un- known regions beyond This hnterland in the years to come will resound with the tread of the feet of millions now unborn and the name of fame of Gorgas will be told in accents now unknown. Eneas and Achates, fleeing from Troy after performing prodigies of valor rest ed in Carthage, and came upon painting of the siege of Troy. Eneas exclaimed: "What place in all the world, Achates is not filled with the fame of deedsv' The name of Gorgas penned by poets and spoken by sagss shall go sounding down the ages.

 "Of this amount the city pays about 65 per cent. If we had all this revenue we could build number of roads for the cars to travel over. But most of it goes to the other counties.
