lished in the minds of industrial, commer- cial and financial interests throughout the nation that no questions as to the districts fitness for industrial expansion and advan- tageous business investment longer stand in the way of decisions to place capital here.
 The foundation of this growth was and is the abundance of raw materials. Pressing hard on the heels of that advantage in im- portance is an unexcelled geographical situ- ation both for inland and export distribution of products. These have built up the basic industries and these are responsible for the pay rolls that have created mercantile es- tablishments, retail and wholesale, than which there are none more generally sue cessful. These have brought and still bring, the development of auxiliary activities of all kinds Enterprise breeds enterprise, and our industrial and business life daily grows more complex as direct result of the ex- pansion of major industries There is no calculable limit to which this tendency may grow. Birmingham's continued prosperity is assured.

GOVERNORS AND THE PORT

People have too easily forgotten the part Governor Kilby played in bringing about the success of the seaport amendment. He it was who, in his term, envisioned the great public benefit to be derived by the en- tire state from the construction of adequate commercial facilities at Alabama's only sea- port. When the people, because of insuffi- cient information on the subject, voted the first time to reject the amendment, the gov ernor was not discouraged. On the con- trary he was among the first to realize and to point out the temporary nature of the causes for it's defeat at the polls. Ac- cordingy, as soon as he deemed the oppor- tunity ripe, he called the legislature again into extra session, and in a message of great breadth of vision and vigor pointed out the great desirability of state development of the port, urging upon the legislators as their solemn duty to place the question again be- fore the people of Alabama. Ever since then, and on every suitable occasion, Governor Kilby has espoused the cause of the seaport, emphasized anew the duty of the state to develop facilities there, and urged the voters to cast their ballots for this undertaking of incalculable public benefit. It may be said, with no possible fear of being called to ac> count for exaggeration, that but for Cover nor Kilby's aggressive and untiring zeal in behalf of the seaport amendment, it would not today be written into the laws and the constitution of the state of Alabama, az proof of the enlightenment of its citizens. When in after years the history of the states 5 progress shall have been written, not least among the bright names will be that of Kilby.
 Fortunate indeed is this state also that ts next governor, Judge William w. Brandon, is irrevocably committed to the faithful exc cution of the peoples command in regard to Alabamas seaport. In most of his public utterances during his campaign for the nom- ination Judge Brandon gave his hearty in dorsement of the port project and pledged himself, if elected, to consider the proper equipment of the seaport among ,the most important of his official considerations. Since his indorsement by the people Judge Bran don has only intensified the earnestness of his utterances in the ports behalf. With such leadership and such a program Ala bama's continue progress along all lines of is assured, and this state is about to capture the commercial and indus trial dominance to which her natural advan- tages and resources entitle her.

 Extension of the use of this by-product gas manufacturing plants means not only a greater stabilization of the by-product industry by encouraging steady operations through a regular demand for this by-prod- uct, but it means also an additional source of fuel and power for other industries By product gas as a fuel is more elastic and satisfactory than the use of raw coal. The district with a plenty of by-product gas available for industries will attract new industries.

LITERARY MAGAZINES

The surprising discovery was made this year that more books of verse are being published than ever before. Stranger still they command a ready sale. At the same time numerous literary magazines have sprung into existence which give encourage ment to young writers and exploit the newer forms of verse. There can be no doubt that interest in contemporary literature has been greatly stimulated in the past few years and it is now such an easy matter to 'break into print that poets in particular are le- zion. The output of verse, good, bad and indifferent, is enormous, yet much of it has high quality, so that this striving for self expression among the younger singers Is a good augury. It will eventually create more comprehensive and distinctly national literature in America.
 There is one unfortunate tendency how ever that is observed in some of the work published in the literary magazines. There is disposition to sheer at the older forms, to regard Dickens and Thackeray, for in stance, as bores, and to place the effusions of Greenwich Villagers on par with the masterpieces of English poetry. The verse, and the prose also, shows a straining after bizarre effects The free verse writers age grievous offenders in this respect and great deal of other verse is marred by gro- tesque, and often absurd, imagery Amy Lowell is the high priestess of free verse, yet she begins one of her recent compost tions with the line, "I thought of myself as a walnut" That sort of poetry is lauphable The writers of free verse de- serve much of the ridicule to which they have been subjected. For one who expresses a poetic thought in this form, dozen com init atrocities. M
 But while we may find much that is dis pleasing in the ambitious little magazines which are flourishing in various parts or the country and make brave show of their contributors, they are sincerely trying to develop literary talent and for that reason they deserve to be encouraged. The Double Dealer, published in New Orleans, and the Reviewer, which seems to be firmly estab- lished in Richmond, are two conspicuous examples. They are both creditable to the south, although they are not sectional. Both aspire to be cosmopolitan and publish con ' tributions from many sources, some from abroad. There are, perhaps, score of others that might be mentioned. Poetry" published in Chicago, boasts that it has lived longer than any other similar publication more than two years!

recognized as at least the equal of length of service in matters of legislation. :. Under really responsible government the chairman of the important committees of Congress must necessarily be men, regard less of seniority, who are actively in sym pathy with the White House policies and who are prepared to stand or fall with the administrators program"
 On the whole, it is apparent that editors recognize the weakness of the seniority rule, but are somewhat skeptical both as regards It's early abolition and as regards the eff cacy of any substitute system yet suggested. The editors always fear that any honest end in readjustment will be defeated by pohti- cal maneuvering to gratify selfish ambition.

AMERICA AT LAUSANNE

The American government will be repre- sented at the Lausanne conference by Am bassador Richard Washburn Child at Rome and Minister Grey at Berne. Admiral Mark Bristol, who has made a fine record while safeguarding American interests in the Near East, will be an associate commissioner. Ad- miral Bristol, despite the fact that his duties at Constantinople will not permit him to attend all the conference sessions, will be an extremely able and well-informed member-of the American group. He is thoroughly fa- miliar with conditions in the Near East.
 While the American observers will have no official status, their attendance at Lausanne will have an important bearing on the con ference. They will present the views of the American government and its wishes will be respected in all essentials by the na- tions negotiating peace in the Near East. Although America is not member of the League of Nations and has adopted policy of not participating directly in European con- ferences, it has been revealed at every inter- national conference held since the World war that our government has duties it must perform abroad, regardless of the so-called pollCy Ol iSOldtlul. we CdH HOt nOlu dlOOI from Europe without jeopardizing our rights as . nation. Sending observers to Lausanne is just another illustration of the close rela- tions existing between the United States and the European powers, whether it is officially recognized or not.
 We did not declare war on Turkey and had no part in the Sevres treaty which has never been enforced. Therefore, we are in no position to dictate terms at Lausanne, bu. the influence of the American government. will be strongly felt because of the broad powers given to our observers and the state ment of policy made by Secretary Hughes. He emphasized the maintenance of capitula- tions which may be essential to the appro- priate safeguarding of non-Moslem inter- ests." That means the protection of all mi norities, Americans as we'll as other nation- als, under Turkish rule. It is the most lln- portant feature of the state departments program, being given precedence over conl- mercial opportunities, and is in line with the policy of the American government to put humanitarian above other material consid- erations. We may rest assured that what ever is done at Lausanne, American inter- ests and those of other non-Mosems will be protected. That will be the principal object of Americas semi-official participation in the conference.

DUTY TO THE PUBLIC IS FIRST

The board of revenue has issued an ulti- matum to the city commission, stating that it will withdraw it's appropriation for the the joint county and city road building pro- gram unless the city authorities obtain needed rghts-of-way. The board gives the city until December 15 to meet its demand. Otherwise it will withdraw $450, ,000 that was to have been expended on joint road build ing and construct highways outside of the city limits The people of Birmingham should not be made to suffer because there is lack of understanding between the city and county authorities. The high official duty of these two boards, and their respen- sibility to the taxpayers make it incumbent upon them to settle their differences, and to allow no secondary considerations to de- lay program of public benefit. The peo- pie expect the two boards to let no obstacles stand in the way of the prompt and eff cient completion of the joint road-building project. The eyes of the people are upon the officials in this particular. What each board does in the matter will be matter of public record that will be to the public ad- vantage or disadvantage. Which shall it be?

 Sheffield Standard: Frederick I. Thompson, ex-Governor Conner and Donald Conner have bought the Bir- mingham Age-Herald. The new owners will, we predict, make The Age Herald one of the greatest morning newspapers of the south.
 Houston Post: The requirement or the Birmingham Age-Herald by Frederick I. Thompson and former United States Senator B. B. Conner of Alabama and his son, MT. Donald Comsr. IS of cordial interest to the newspaper fraternity of the south, as well as to the people of Birming- nam an! Alabama. The Age-H craid for many years has been one of the south's greatest and most useful daily journals. Under the ownership and management of the late la mented Edward w. Barrett i. was one of the outstanding assets of Bir- mingham. Under the management of Mrs. Barrett, the widow of the former editor, the paper has main tained it's high standards. Mir. Thompson as the publisher of the Mobile Register has proven himself one of the most efficient newspaper men in the south, and it is fortunate that The Age-Herald, in passing from the hands of the Barrett fam ily, should fall to one so capable and of such high ideals in the newspaper profession as Mir. Thompson. Bit mingham is assured of a continuance of a first-class morning paper under his direction. -

ship. The connection of former Senator Conner and Donald Conner with The Age-Herald will give it added strength. North Alabama newspaper men will welcome Mir. Thompson into the field. He comes with ripe experience as publisher and with successful newspaper ca reer in south Alabama to encourage him in his new effort. The Age Herald is one of the oldest of north Alabama papers, has had career of extraordinary usefulness and is pub- lished in the heart of the industrial south, where it's influence for good can be developed to the highest de- gree.
 Mobile Times-News: In taking over the Birmingham Age-Herald, Frederick l. Thompson, publisher of the Mobile Register and the Mo bile News-Itern, sprung a big sur prise on the press of Alabama and the rest of the south. What has been accomplished with the Mobile Reg ister under his guiding hand is his tory. From a second.rate sheet, rne Register has developed into one of the greatest newspapers in the busi- ness, and in influence it swings a commanding hand. While the Times News has often differed with the owner of the Register in local af- fairs, still we have always had the highest respect for MT.
