ANOTHER VICE CRUSADE THAT
 CAME TO NOTHING

During the city commission campaign Bir- mingham was called "hotbed of vice" There was great hue and cry over local conditions of the country that Birmingham was over run with prostitutes and bootleggers. The rural Alabamian, reading news dispatches, got the idea that it would not be safe to trust his wicked city.
 At that time better informed citizens, who were not up to their ears in politics, deplored these misleading reports which did a great injustice to Birmingham. It was pointed out that Birmingham, instead of being worse, was better morally than many other cities of equal size.
 The reformers and politicians were insis- tent, however, and the grand jury began the arduous task of cleaning out the Augean stables. What was the result? Another case of much ado about nothing. Thirty-six in- dctments were brought and it was announced yesterday that 25 were dismissed in circuit court. Only six of the original cases remain on the docket There were two convictions.
 That is all the much-heraded vice crusade amounted to. If conditions had been as shock ing as they were painted there should have been several hundred indictments and many convictions. When a hue and cry is raised 1t is always an easy matter to round up few women parasites and keepers of cheap lodging houses to serve as "horrible examples,' but citizen is apt to be taken out any night of the week and flogged ,and there doesn't seem to be any way of punishing the persons who com init these crimes, infinitely more serious and hurtful to Birmingham's reputation than vag- rancy or violation of the liquor laws.

TO MoNTMARTRE BY AIR

From the New York Telegram.
 Dinner in Mayfair and supper in Montmartre that is the promise of the aviation promoters of London who have arranged the establish ment of night service from the British capital to Paris.
 Following the regularly plotted lines be- tween the two cities, it is believed by the air sharps who have developed the project that it will become most popular service.
 There is no one who has yet arisen to pro- claim the present rail and sea methods of trans portation 'twixt Britain and France an ideal junket. A change from train to boat at Dover, Folkestone, New Haven or Southampton and a change back from boat to train at Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe or Havre, and thereafter a five-hour run to Paris, is no easy task.
 Getting aboard comfortable flyer at Lon don aerodrome and debarking two or three hours later on the outskirts of gay Paree is quite different proposition.
 It is readily to be believed that the method of travelling which eliminates the English chan mel is bound to be popular.

< < x LET THE COUNTIES ATTEND TO LAW ENFORCEMENT

Judge w. W. Brandon, the next governor of Alabama, says: T propose to put law en- forcement in the hands of the counties" He made that statement when asked at We tumpka, What are you going to do with the law enforcement department?"
 When Judge Brandon is elected governor he should lose no time in getting rid of the state law enforcement department, which has made itself obnoxious to the people of Alabama and has never justified it's existence.
 There are loud protests against federal anti-lynching law, on the ground that it would invade state rights. Much the same prin- cple applies to body of men operating from the state capital in the various counties of Alabama and under the governors orders They are an unnecessary burden on the tax payers, they create friction and they assume the duties of the legally constituted authori- ties of cities and counties.
 Law enforcement officers assaulted news paper man in Birmingham. They invaded the homes of prominent citizens of Mobile and aroused so much indignation that their chief lost his job. Wednesday in a Montgomery court law enforcement officer was sen fenced to four months at hard labor and fined $500 for brutal and unprovoked as sault on travelling man of Montgomery. The judge who imposed the sentence denounced him in seathing terms.
 Without it's unsavory record for violence, in which the rights and liberties of citizens have been grossly abused, the state law en- forcement squad would be an imposition on the public. The sooner it is abolished the better.

DRIVER RECEIVES
 A PRISON SENTENCE

A Louisville man, whose automobile ran over and killed woman was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to serve two years in the, penitentiary. It was the first time felony conviction was ever ob- tained in Kentucky as a result of reckless driving. It should not be the last
 Jail sentences for speeding and prison terms for automobile murder will put stop to the killing of men, women and children on the streets of American cities. Nothing but dras- tic punishment will check this evil. The drunken joy rider whose escapades may inn peril the lives of dozens of people will not be cured as long as he can pay for his fun with . fine Some months spent behind prison bars will give him time to mediate on his folly.
 When an automobile driver fatally njures a person and it can be proved that he was un- der the influence ofliquor, the jury should have little hesitancy in bringing in a verdict of manslaughter. A few automobile accidents are unavoidable Most of them are due to carelessness. There never is the slightest ex- cuse for John Barleycorn at the wheel.

BIRMINGHAM SHOULD GIVE

No worthier cause has appealed to Birming- ham than the Industrial and Trade school at Ragland where boys will be taught various handicrafts. They will learn there how to earn livelihood in such practical ways that paying jobs will be waiting for them when they leave the school.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

 Efficiency is gilt-edged security.
 Truth comes to man in unbroken pack ages.
 Naturally, the rounder is not many-sided man.
 More people squint with their brains than with their eyes.
 Many fellow has more money than brains who isn't rich.
 A heap of the fun in the world wouldn't be if it wasn't foolish.
 Luck may knock at the door, but it takes hard work to force it open.
 How active ones friends become when one is in position to extend favors?
 The trouble about being prepared for the worst is that it is so apt to make some people so prepared dead anxious for it to happen

LETTERS TO EDITOR
NEGRO AND INpEpENpENr VOTE
o the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l noticed in a recent issue of your great paper that W. B. Driver and other intelligent colored voters of Birmingham are indorsng Henry Ford for the presidency on an indepen- dent ticket. Without discussing the qualifi- cation of MT, Ford for the presidency I am greatly interested in the fact that the men of my race are learning to become independent thinkers.
 The negro has a splendid memory, but near ly every encyclopaedia rates him lacking Ill independent thought. For 35 years I have urged division of the colored vote.
 As long as the negro votes solidly as a group he shows his ignorance of political science ,and becomes the tool of marplots. With a republican President enthroned, large republican majority in both branches of the Congress and republican supreme court, the negro is left as a ward to the south.
 If this is hell, I shall make the most of it, and beseech his majesty to keep me in the coolest part. DAVID w. PARKER, In Charge of School and Welfare Work, Ein~

HUEYTowN HAS LARGE CLASS

Eighty pupils from surrounding schools gathered the other night at the Hueytown school and received their seventh grade diplomas" said Prof. E. B. Erwin, assistant superintendent of education who delivered the graduating address. "The diplomas were presented by the principals of the respective schools.
 "This was the largest delegation of seventh grade graduates that we have gathered to- gether in the county. People from miles around the high school came in to, witness the exercises. The pupils will now be ready to enter the Hueytown High school this fall. This school is one of the most modern and fully equipped buildings in the county.'

HIS MASTER MIND

William Allen White, in Judge.
 Henry Ford has concentrated his master mind upon the lost motion of the farmer. In his autobiography, which s. S. Mcclure is pub fishing in his rejuvenated magazine, Henry Ford declares that there is too much lost mo- ton upon the American farm.
 Righto, Henry But much of the lost mo- tion is just lost, and it will do no good to ad- vertise for it. Driving pig through a gate requires seven thousand six hundred and eighty-two different movements of the human mind and body, and yet, with all his wisdom Henry Ford has not yet invented auto matic pig. Nothing else will eliminate those motions. Entertaining the preacher is an- other place where the farmer loses lot of time and energy But self-feeding preacher is beyond even Henry Fords inventive genius.
 If Henry wants to keep boys on the farm, and reduce farm labor to joyous jazz, let him go into corner and think up some way to teach a calf to drink out of bucket without wearing out it's ears on the hired mans hands 1! If he could just get some vacuum cleaner de-  vice that would start the suction in the right direction when the farmers boy gets the calf's nose in the bucket, Henry would be a benefac- tor to mankind. But the lusty calf with a pair of leather lungs can spray over six-foot boy and 24 by 38 stable the contents of a bucket of skinned milk in one good snort. It's lost motion-lost to all time and eternity And, if Henry Ford go out in the barn lot and find that lost motion and harness it up to motor, he can get power enough in week in spring on the average farm to run the world a year.
 We are glad Henry Ford is considering the problems of the farm. He may cross his tin Lizzie with go-devil and get the crittur that is needed to lift the agricultural bloc. If he can figure out that contraption he can trade it to the stana-pat republicans for the Muscle Shoals confession.

LYNCH LAW

From the Montgomery Journal.
 There are two vital questions confronting our people: What als the country? and, Who is responsible for the lawless spirit prevailing?
 But first we should make our purpose clear that he who runs may read
 A white minister was dragged from his bed in Georgia and flogged
 Horrible and blood-curdlihg lynchings of negroes have become common in Georgia and in Texas.
 The city health officer of Birmingham was taken out by unknown men and flogged.
 bomb was placed on the porch of the mayor of Columbus, Ga, and it's explosion, while causing no deaths, was quite destructive.
 Mob action everywhere is becoming the rule, not the exception
 Why is this?
 It is difficult for many persons usually we'll informed to know the cause or causes. They are asking, "Has the legal machinery of any state of the Union become so weak that the citizens themselves are forced to take the punishment of crime into their own hands?" Or, "Is the United States slipping back into mediaevalism, where any who dares diff fer from the established opinions of his com munity he is sentenced to death, or punish ment more to be dreaded than death?"
 Mob action is regrettable. It is semi- civilized way of meeting conditions, but out of it often come good we'll as bad. When courts make mockery of law, as some are doing today, then respect for courts ceases and mob law follows sequence.
 But are courts making farce of law en- forcement? Let the courts themselves answer Jurors have come out of courts of recent date with grin upon their faces, smiling at the plaything judges the bench would make of justice others would be unable to retain their surprise and horror at this new development in our courts and their uses and abuses.

Recently, was over in Atlanta, and de- termined to see what some of Birmingham's faults were as seen by her rival city, said W. c. Oliver
 ''In talking to friend of mine, who had lived in Birmingham for years, but now lives in the Gate City, I asked him in what way did Atlanta have anything Birmingham?
 "He told me that the biggest thing that he could see as a difference in the two cities was that upon the results of election that the losers joined forces with the winners, and that they all worked together, but that in Birmingham the losers kept fighting against the winners and nothing was done"

WASHINGTON BUSINESS cAPITALa

Aaron Hardy Ulm, in Forbes Magazine.
 The old, easy-going, overgrown southern village that used to be the national capital no longer exists. In the last five years Washing ton has become truly metropolitan city, though the change has been more atmospheric than physical.
 Washington has become the business as well the political capital of the nation.
 Foreign embassies are no longer hives of political activity; they are business offices, housed in modern office buildings and em- ploying hundreds of clerks compared with scores or only tens a few years ago. And American business men, farmers ,and labor ganizations having headquarters in Washing ton.
 You will find that banking, foreign trade. retailing, mining, and manufacturing conven- tions are in the ascendency. If you scan the directories of the big office buildings, you will discover an unusual large number of business headquarters and branch offices.
 Out of the more than 200 organizations which now maintain Washington headquarters, one-third to one-half are business organizations. Some. of them like the National Manufacturers association. the forerunner of all business es- establishments in Washington, cover more than one industry. The United States Chamber of Commerce, for example, represents practically all business, as it is the Washington head quarters for virtually all the chambers of com merce in. the country and in its membership are individuals from all lines of industry. It is now erecting large office building to house it's rapidly expanding activities; and the struc- ture is already being referred to as the s'Busi- ness Capitor' of the United States.
