PATRIOTISM OF PEACE IS WHAT LAND NEEDS

There is need of awakening spirit of pa- triotism that meets the requirements of peace times. Patriotism the stress of war demanded was militant. It called for the slaughter of the enemy that we might ourselves be saved. It was employed in destruction to prevent the loss of our lives and our commerce.
 That is over with. What we need now is the patriotism that smacks of gentleness and for bearance, that is based on the orderly course of the civil law, and the return to normal con- dtion of personal freedom.
 Flag Day on next Wednesday should inspire should serve to do away with that impatence with the viewpoint of others which seems to be the disease of the day. We should put a stop to the intolerance which is sweeping the country and committing outrages.
 The flag stands not for war primarily, but for the prevention of war. It bears the colors of peace as well as those of war. It reminds us that we grow strong for war when needs be by practicing the arts and customs of peace.
 Let every man wear flag on Flag Day, and as he wears it, bethink himself on that day if, while he has prayed for readjustment of indus trial and financial prosperity, he has made him- self worthy of the rewards of peace by his own attitude toward his neighbor.

BOYS CLUB MANUFACTURES OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

With little notice of the drive, Birmingham on Saturday gave $1,2oO in small donations to the Boys club. One could not refuse to give when he saw the happy band of barefoot boys parading the street and evdencing in their cleanliness and well-kept bodies the benefit the club has been to them.
 The club managers wish to raise $fo,ooo to build and equip home for the boys. With the proceeds of Saturdays tag day they will start this work by building a swimming pool and gymnasium. The drive will be continued until the $10,000 is raised.
 Will not those who were not approached Sat turday send their contributions to Mrs. Vassar Allen, club secretary? They will if they think of it. The thing to do is to realize always that what is done for the children reacts in sub- stantial benefit to the community, both by producing a good citizenship and by reducing the cost of poor citizenship in jails, asylums and courts.
 The appealing charities of Birmingham are those that deal with children. They are the nurseries of good citizenship.

 favor with the United States and Great Britain. It was charged that Japan lost the Anglo-Japa- nese alliance and got nothing in return.
 This feeling in Japan lends color to the be- lief expressed in Washington dispatch that Kato thought it necessary to assume the pre- miership to assure complete acceptance of the conference program. Although one of Japan's greatest naval officers, he is an advocate of peace. He is opposed to an aggressive foreign policy and wants to keep the troublesome mili- tary group from controlling the government That has been pointed to repeatedly as the chief source of danger in Japan.
 When it is further understood that Kato favors restoration of friendly relations between Japan and long-suffering China, there are rea- sons to hope that his assumption of the pre- miership will be good thing for Japan. It comes just at the time when unsettled condi- tions in that country call for wise and conserva- tive leadership.

INCLUDING THE DOG

It was at training camp in Augusta, Ga. The Twenty-eighth division was encamped there, and in of the companies was a frecke- faced Irishman who had been in the army be- fore, now serving his third hitch, He was on sentry duty one night and it was his duty to watch certain road that led from town and inquire the identity of each group who sought entrance to the camp.
 About 10 o'clock the figure of an officer and his wife were seen approaching. Slightly in front of them ran little poodle dog that seemed to be having wonderful time in the moonlight. The sentry waited until the couple were some 15 yards away and then challenged them: "Who comes there?"
 Now it happened that the officer had but re. gently married, and, naturally, he was some what elated over things in general. He decided to be somewhat facetious and replied in this manner: Officer of the post approaches with wife and little dog"
 The sentry never hesitated, Approach of- ficer of the post to be recognized. Officers wife, atten-shun; little dog, pa-rade-rest."

NEW PREMIER OF JAPAN IS OPPOSED TO MILITARISM

Admiral Baron Kato, who was one of the prominent diplomats at the arms conference in Washington, is Japan's new premier. His ac- ceptance of this position comes at a critical time and is hailed as a favorable omen, be- cause Kato is an enlightened, far-sighted Japa- nese, who is expected to hold the military fac ton of Japan in check and devote himself to carrying out the policies of the arms confer ence.
 Japan needed at the administrative head of her government statesman of Kato's type During his stay in America he made a most favorable impression. Without his services in Washington as head of the Japanese delegation and the spirit of accommodation he showed when complications threatened, the conference might easily have been failure Kato has come in contact with the western world and western statesmansbip. He has first-hand knowledge of Anerica and is to astute not to have thoroughly comprehended the American point of view in regard to international questions, especially as they relate to the far east.
 The arms conference did not meet with Japan's unqualified indorsement. The Japanese press and people showed resentment and dis appointment. Kato and his colleagues were ac- cused ef sacrificing Japan's interests to court

THERE IS NO DEATH

By Lord Lytton. M There is no death! The stars go down
 To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
 They shine forever more. There is no death! The dust we tread
 Shall change beneath the summer showers, To golden grain or mellowed fruit,
 Or rainbow-tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize,
 And feed the hungry moss they bear; The forest leaves drink dailyi1ife,
 From out the viewless air. There is no death! The leaves may fall,
 And flowers may fade and pass away; They only wait, through wintry hours,
 The coming of the May. Born unto that undying life,
 They leave us but to come again; With joy we welcome them, the same
 Except their sin and pain. & And ever near us, though unseen,
 The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life--there are no dead

RADIO IN POLITICS
From the Houston Post.

From the Houston Post.
 Radio is getting into politics. The Secretary of the Navy has declined to permit congress- men and senators running for reelection to use the equipment of the navy department to broadcast their campaign speeches, but the American Radio association is making plans to give the candidates chance to talk during the last two months of the campaign.
 The use of the radio for political purposes holds interesting possibilities Political cam ure, advertising campaigns. Every medium for reaching the people is desired by those seeking office. They no longer rely on the od-fashoned method entirely of visiting every neighborhood and making speeches. There too many people for candidates for state and national offices to see them all in person. They see as many possible, and then lombard them with printed circulars and with paid ad- vertisements in the newspapers.
 The radio opens up a new channel of com munication between the candidates and the people. A candidate for district or state office can make one speech and thousands in every part of the region where his intended constituents reside will hear it. Perhaps, in time it will be unnecessary for a candidate 10 wear himself out travelling day after day going over the same old speech.
 The radio is surely destined to play an inn portant part in political campaigns in the fu- ture. Through it's use the voices of not only local but national leaders will be brought to every corner of the country, no matter how remote or isolated. Just now it may be looked upon as fad, but in time it will prove of educational value to the voters of the country, by giving them information on the political issues of the day. It is already apparent that the radio will be highly useful in other than the amusement field.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
EAST PARK FOR AUDITORIUM

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 After all is said and done the selection for an auditorium to be for the benefit of all the peo- pie resolves itself to one logical location, and that is East park, between Sixth and Seventh avenues and Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth streets, north.
 Smith park is nobly given but is too far, too darkly and dangerously approached and occu- pied. Capitol park would preclude all the plans and ideals for -a civic center, and possible ascendency of Birmingham to the seat of gov ernment for the state by actual removal of the capitol later division of the supreme and appellate courts, which now needed.
 The salient points in favor of East park in- clude the following.
 1. It corners respectively with the new Phil lips High school and also Powell school, the pupils of which could use the auditorium and it's playgrounds to great benefit.
 2. It is within one block of the Terminal sta tion This would be a great incentive to vis- itors to frequent the attractions
 8. Within walking distance of the business section. White Way already provided to go within one block. This costs $1 500 block and that saying would be several thousand dollars.
 4. Is sufficient distance from all railroads that money contemplated for intensifying sound proof equipment could be diverted to a more comprehensive benefit.
 5. Is equidstant from East Lake and Ensley, Norwood and South Highlands, Edgewood and North Birmingham.
 6. Is on a through street north and south. Easily and economically approached from all directions by all modes of travel.
 2. Is in a good white neighborhoodf where the surrounding property is owned by white people.
 8. The streets surrounding this block form ample parking space for cars at minimum risk from accident and thefts, and it's proximity fa- cilitates police protection to persons and prop erty
 9. Has ample street car and taxicab line frontage, and may be arrived at with minimum fares, and without street car transfers
 10. Release from all legal technicalities, mar rows down to concluding just one concern. Be- sides that it would benefit that concern. They have always proven to be patriotic and public spirited to make sacrifice if for the city's best interests.
 H. The topography of the land already pre- sents the facility and economy encouraging to the architectural program.
 12. The owners of the site condemned, if properly approached and treated, might readily concilate in view of this site being selected; an aftermath might be avoided. Or the city might use that condemned for further progress along municipal lines which the growth will soon demand LUCIEN c. BOWER. Birmingham, 2O27 Third Avenue, North June

NOTED AMERICAN FLYER QUITS IN DISGUST

The backwardness of the United States in developing aviation is depressing to everyone who has the remotest conception of the impor- tant part 1t is destined to play in commerce. not to mention the supremacy of aircraft in war;
 Eddie Rickenbacker, a famous automobile racer, who became an even more famous "ace" during the World war, started out to make an around-the-country flight in an all-metal plane. After several misadventures, the machine he was driving fell and was demolished at Omaha. Rickenbacker is completing his journey to San Francisco by the tame and prosaic Pullman route. T am through with commercial aviation for the time," he says. "There is not plane in the United States fitted to make such long tour. The plane we were flying was the near est approach, and it fell short" M
 While Europe Is developing an air service that Is already. in many instances as safe and dependable as railway trains and ships, in addition to being far speeder, the nation which originated the heavier-than-air flying machine lags behindP
 Some day we will be compelled to catch up with the procession, and then, as usually hap pens it will cost billions that might have been saved.

FOR CLEANLINESS SAKE

q would like to call public attention to the cabinets which have been installed on street cor ners to care for trash and waste paper,' said O. L. Bum. ''There has been a marked improve ment in the appearance of the streets since their installation, but the improvement would be much greater if citizens were more thought ful.
 "One cannot but be favorably impressed with the appearance of these cabinets, which are al- ways neat and attractive. Nothing so detracts from the appearance Of city as waste paper and trash thrown about. There is. little excuse for that with these receptacles so available on every hand"

T was standing down on Twentieth street the other day and watching the people who were going in and out of the First National Bank building" said T. P. Patterson. "Then I reflected back to a good many years ago when a saloon in two-story building graced this same corner. There was also saloon diagonally across the street where cigar store is now To- cated.
 Things have changed very much on Twen- tieth street since then, and the First National bank corner, then the location of a bar and known as an all-round bad place., is now bee hive of industry with business people coming and going every minute of the day.

COW DOMESTIC NECESSITY

T find a COW to be very profitble animal to keep" said J. L. Heacock, assistant coroner. Before I bought one we purchased about $15 worth of milk and butter per month. Now spend about that much for feed, and we get all the milk and butter we can eat and in ad- dition last month sold about ST worth to our neighbors.
 "Of course, it is some trouble to keep COW, but then we have the satisfaction of knowing that the milk and butter we have is clean. A number of persons living in West End have cows as survey of the grassy lots in that section of the city will show

 Out of Cincinnati on the Pennsylvania rail- road there is town called Morrow, the ter- minus of half dozen accommodation-trains and on the c. H. & D. R. R. there is town called Day.
