HARD WORDS EXCHANGED
 BY IRISH LEADERS

The discord in Ireland is theme for tears At Thursdays meeting of the Dali Ereann, the two opposing leaders, Arthur Griffith and Ramon DeValera, revealed the bitterness that is keeping Ireland in turmoil and encourag- ing fratricidal strife. Each charged the other with melting disorders. Griffith said When went to London, DeValera asked me to get him out of the straight jacket of the re- public,'" to which DeValera retorted by calling Griffith liar. In the uproar which followed Griffith shouted, q won't be intim- dated by any gunmen here." Later on DeVa- lera declared that he would make speech ''for every lie."
 spectacle of this sort cannot but make the judicious grieve. Ireland's future depends on accepting the terms of the agreement made with the British government for practical n- dependence The proposed Irish Free State was hailed as an end of the strife that has lasted between England and Ireland for cen- turies, but bloodshed and violence continue .n Ireland, the only difference being that the Irish are killing one another instead of mak- ing war on British troops
 Whatever may be the sentiment of the Irish people, public sympathy everywhere else is with Griffith and opposed to the recalcitrant DeValera, who is willing to let the substance of independence go while grasping at the shadow of a republic

CLEANING UP THE MOVIES
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Out of the motion picture scandals which eliminated in the Taylor tragedy has come moral reform of a new and promising order. Morality clauses" it seems, are now inserted in all contracts with film stars and procedure has been adopted bonding actors, directors and other principals against scandalous conduct.
 Movie morals will thus be safeguarded as respects the character of the personnel and an earnest effort will be made to purge the pro- fession of conditions which tend to bring it into disrepute. That surely is a consumma- tion to be wished and greatly to be praised. And having improved the morals of the per- formers, will not the logical next step be to improve the intellectual character of the pro- auctions? Cannot intelligence tests be inserted along with the morality clauses?
 The movies must be credited with a com mendable advance upon the crude standards of few years ago. They vastly more artistic and interesting But apart from the productions of the highest class they are open to infinite improvement on the score of lit- erary and dramatic values. The screen has been made the vehicle of picture-dramas which could never have found a place on the legitimate stage, and it is this class of inferior scenario that specially calls for betterment. To make the reform complete, the vulgarity and stupidity should be cleaned out along with the immortality.

 Records for production were broken at Ems ley mills last month. There was positive ex- citement in 'Possum valley on that account. By the middle of April, Ensley and Fairfield were so accustomed to a full turn at the mills that it had ceased being topic of conversa- ton.

success, but the rewards are paid beth In a financial way and in public esteem. Law yers and doctors enjoy an enviable distinc- tion. They may be called the "arstocrats" ef the professional world. They are looked up to because of their intelligence and the fact that they are friends in time of need. The relationship that exists between trusted law yer and his client and doctor and his pa- tient is one of the most sacred among men. That trust is seldom betrayed.
 Among the numerous conventions held in Birmingham recently none has been welcomed with more cordalty than that of the State Bar association.

SMALL FORGE, MANY ESCAPES

"In our city, which has about 5o,0oO pop ulation, and is not half as large as Birming- ham, we have police force of about 80 men," said Capt. J. L. Manning of Roanoke, Va, who came here Thursday after Claude Wilkes, es- capped bank robber.
 q have learned since arriving here that you have about 128 men on your force here, in- cluding detectives and motorcycle men.

SURE WAS HAZY

 A Richmond banker was approached by a negro minister whose father had served his family in slave days. The old man was a little more progressive than the ordinary ne- gro minister of the south and interested him. self not only in the spiritual welfare of his flock, but in their worldly welfare as well. It was his custom, therefore, to lecture weekly on current events and his next talk was to deal with the subject of investments and se- curities.
 "Marse Henry" he said, 'Ise goin' to talk to mah con 'gation on de evils ob de bucketshop what's agitatin' folks so much all round de country, but Ise a little hay on nah defini- tions. Could you tell me, please, what's de diffrence between common, preferred an a rolin' stock?"

MUNICIPAL CONTROL

"More liberal consideration for the rights of municipalities in handling local public utilities" is the belief of Berto H. Johnson, member of the Montgomery county board of revenue and candidate for associate commls- sioner of the Alabama public service commits sion.
 Commissioner William L. Harrison set the pace for municipal control over these corpora tions when he sounded the keynote of move ment to give Alabama cities more liberal control over their public service utilities. That is a matter however, for legislative consider atiorr, but I'm for it.v

E. J. Scruggs, in the Nomad. Poet, awake! this night is all too long For you to slumber on till break of day; The middle watch is past, and, black and
 strong
 The giant Night has flung the stars away. Wake! Oh, wake! for now no more are heard Strong voices of defiance thru the gloom Shelly is dead, his name an empty word, And Keats, but dust within a mouldering
 tomb.
 And. Faith is like the passing of breath, Life but liar, Love a grinning skull And Song an echo in land of death Where darkness pushes out the beautiful. Shall it be SO? Oh wake once more! Arise! Hurl one last challenge forth to shrouding
 skies!

CAFFEY BACK HOME

'It's always good to get back to Alabama , said Francis G. Caffey, former citizen of Ala bama and district attorney of New York, here yesterday, where he addressed the Alabama Bar association.
 While I do not now reside in the grand old state, it's fine to get back to the old sod,' so to speak, and to mingle with old friends. I was born and reared in Alabama and shall always call it home." Mir. Caffey was appointed district attorney of New York by President Wilson, and has at various times represented the federal government in legal capacties.

UNEARNED DIVIDENDS PAID
 OUT OF SURPLUS

The Bethlehem Steel company has declared the regular dividend of one and quarter per cent on both classes of common stock, although not earned. It can afford to pay these dividends because it has surplus earned in the good years and because orders on the books and general business conditions assure the future
 Of the state of business the president of the company says: "Sales for March were great than those of January and February and middle of 1920. The operating basis is prac- ticaly so per cent compared with 40 to 50 per cent during the first quarter of the year, with number of departments running to full capacity. There has been marked increase in the volume of orders at higher prices"
 Payments of dividends under such circum- stances is fully justified, and is good business Stable concerns like the Bethlehem company and the Steel Corporation provide for lean periods by conservation of earnings in the good ones.
 The country feels better for knowing that large industrial operators are so well sup piled with orders and that they have excel lent cause for their confidence in the fu- ture.

ALABAMA BALL TALENT

"I am proud of the record two Alabama boys are making with the Cleveland basc~-ll team,' said Henry Dunn. "One of them is Joe Sewell, shortstop, who halls from Titus, and the other is Riggs Stephenson, second base man, whose home is at Akron. Both learned the science of baseball while playing under Coach Noojan at the University of Alabama.
 'It seems that sand lots of the southern states produce about one-third of the star players of both the American and National leagues I look for Sewel and Stephenson to finish the season among the best in the league"

WHAT A scHooLMAsTER DOES

From the New York Telegram.
 A theory put forward by Dr. Lightner, pro- lessor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, goes far in the direction of ex- plaining why some sef-educated men are su- perior to individuals who have passed through the hands of many schoolmasters.
 Addressing the pedagogues gathered for Schoolmen's Week he put it this way
 Education is the device of civilization to keep us from encountering new problems. The method employed is showing the pupil how to solve problems instead of letting him solve them for himself This makes the exercise of intelligence unnecessary. If pupil has intel ligence it may facilitate the schoolmasters task, but pupils and teacher can get along quite we'll without it."
 There may be no royal road to learning, but the schoolmaster knows short cut He knows al lthe turns, and all his pupils have to do is see that they do not lose sight of their guide
 On the other hand, the "sef-taught man" has to find and often to make way for him. self
 So it follows that if brains are absolutely necessary in the case of the man who travels alone a minimum of that commodity will suf- flee in the case of those who attend on the Gamaliels who supply solution to every problem.
 Dr. Witmer holds that you may breed human beings for efficiency and intellect, but genius is in the hands of the gods.
 Of course, many great men have not been spoiled by education-Charles Darwin, for ex- ample, who said that the years spent by him at the university were "pure waste.'

A MORNING PRAYER
WEEKS AND PERSHING PLEAD
 FOR A LARGER ARMY

Secretary Weeks and General Pershing, in asking for army of 163,oO0 before Sen ate committee, dwelt on the danger of unpre- paredness, as we'll as the heavy cost in lives and money The House proposes army of Il 1000 officers and 115,000 men. Secretary Weeks and General Pershing declare that 150,- GOO men and 13,OO0 officers are necessary for national defense.
 The blunders we made in getting into the World war, the reckless spending of millions of dollars and the humiliatng plight we placed in while the allies were holding back Germans until could come to the rescue, are still fresh in the public memory There can be no doubt that if we had had ade- quate military establishment to start with, heart-breaking delays would have been pre- vented, waste of money and materials would have been avoided and thousands of lives would have been saved by quicker ending of the war
 General Pershing went far as to say that if this country had been prepared 'there IS little question that the United States, under strong leadership, could have prevented the World war altogether" The Civil war, he added, would not have occurred if the Union had been equipped with army ready for immediate service.
 Secretary Weeks told the committees "We have entered each war with our national de- fense system unorganzed. This has required an extemporized organization thrown to- gether in great haste and resulting always in excessive expenditures and excessive economic disturbance. In each war we have consis- tently adhered to policy of forming a great citizen army to reinforce small regular establishment, but in the absence of any def- nite plans the proces sof forming this citizen nite plans the process of forming this citizen delay and extravagance."
 Speaking of the army, General Pershing said: "We should possess and continue from year to year a consistent and well-matured plan contemplating definite preliminary prepa- ration and training for its complete develop ment in case of emergency. This is only the part of common sense and ordinary precau- tion. World conditions of today are reassur- ing, but regardless of all that we cannot af- ford ever again to be negligent. The history of nations is one of strife. The friends of to- day are often the enemies of tomorrow"
 What the two army heads ask for is nothing more than a military establishment which will be large enough to serve as the nucleus of citizen army, if should need one again, and capable of being expanded rapidly with our confusion and delay. If we should have another war there might not be powerful friends to stand between and the enemy while we getting ready. An army of 150,000 men and 13,000 officers is none too large for the United States. Saving few millions now with the possibility of squander- ing billions later is poor economy.
