LETTERS TO EDITOR
HOW HE DISCOVERED COPPER

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 forwarded $5 postoffice money order to you for the Herald. I am very much pleased with your paper. There are a good many Bjr- mingham boys in Nogales that soldiers, and they say they are going to subscribe for Tho Age-Herald.
 We are stationed on the border line of the United States and Mexico. We are allowed to go across the line and saloons are open over there. We can drink all the whisky and beer we want over there, but we cannot bring bottles across the line. We have no Ku Klux Klan in Nogales. The only trouble we have is cattle thieves from Mexico, who come across the line and steal American cattle and horses. Land is cheap out here. I bought 90 acres for $25o and found copper in the northwest part of this land.
 Everybody wants to buy it from me. But am not going to sell this land; it's good for me. When I am discharged l am going to sell the copper, but not the land. I guess you have heard that song, Somewhere in the west I'll build little hut for me and wife, and let the rest of the world go by" I have got 90 acres of land that's more valuable than the man who sold it to me thought it was and he never had the least idea that the land contained cop- per. So I told him how discovered it.
 I mounted my horse one Sunday and rode up in the valley and found d spring which had some cold water, and there was little creek of water running near this spring.
 And I mounted my horse, and said to my self, "This is mineral district" for I picked a piece of copper out of the creek about the size of my hand. So I decided to ride to the end of this creek and see what was there. rode about 200 yards and I was at the end of the creek, which is on my land. There was an old Yaqui Indian woman washing clothes. dis mounted and asked this old woman, "Is this where you wash all the time?" And she said yes, and she asked me who was, and said that was the owner of this land. She said, Do you know that there is copper on your land?" said to her, Copper on my landP' And she said, "The man who sold 1t to you don't know that there is copper on it; he said it was worth less, and he going to sell it. But didn'. tell him that it had copper on it. Now, you just come and go with and I'll show you the copper And she took me to the north west part of my land and showed me hole dug in the ground, and there was the copper that her husband used to dig and sell But he is now dead, so you are the lucky man," she said to me.
 We are having some awful hot weather out here. Yours truly, EDW. MEANS,

WANT NEW ROUTE

"A delegation of citizens appeared yester- day before the board of revenue to request the construction of road on straight route from Boyles to Lewisburg," said F. L. Irwin. "As it is now travel between the two points must either go by way of North Birmingham or by way of Black creek junction.
 People living at Boyles and Lewisburg are especially desirous of having the road con- structed. It will give a number of children in the Lewisburg vicinity a direct route to the county high school at Boyles. About 75 per sons who work in the Louisville and Nashville shops at Boyles also live in the neighborhood of Lewisburg, and they will be served by the road.

CONTRASTS

From the Selma Times-Journal
 We have just reread Jack London's "Call of the Wild" Near the end of the book is a story of a dramatic fight between the hero- dog and giant bullmoose. The dog is no physical match for the moose, hardly reach ing as high as the mooses "great knuckled knees." Three hundred weight more than half ton the old bull weighed; The had lived long, strong life, full of fight and struggle" and at the end he faced death lat the teeth of creature whose head did not reach his knuckled knees" How was it done? Says London, "There is patience in the wild; patience dogged, tireless, persistent as life it. self" It was by means of this patience that Buck brought down his stately antlered prey, Might and day Buck never left him." the author says, never gave him moments rest, never permitted him to browse on the leaves of the trees or the shoots of the young birch or willow" Nor did he give the old bull one single opportunity to sake his burning thirst in the slender, trickling streams they crossed. For four days the dog hung pitilessly at the huge beasts heels, and at the end of the fourth day he pulled the bull-moose down. The dog looked so little, but he wore the monarch out. Thus it is that man, so small a creature, ultimately wins against the majestic forces of nature. Patience, persistence, dogged con- tinuance at task till 'ts done,

MASONIC TEMPLE WORK PROGRESSING

Birmingham people have no idea of the mag nitude of the new Masonic temple" said F. B. Keiser, president of the Masonic Building com pany. "We recently bought 4,000 opera chairs for the two auditoriums, and the building is fast taking shape. The roof is nearly complete and workmen are hard at work on the interior, and when it is completed it will have one of the prettiest lighting effects in any city in the south"

the opinion upon which its judgment rested. It is to be inferred that the court found that the utterances of the rabbi do not constitute strange and erroneous doctrine contrary to Gods word this church hath received the same," as contemplated in the minister's or dination vow.
 It is clear that the court decided that the law of the church, giving, the bishop control of such matters, applies only to church build ings which have been ceremcnially conse- crated.
 This finding, being contrary to the unani- nous opinion of the executive officers of the diocese, will be appealed from. This appeal will not affect the acquittal of the rector, but will permit the general church to say whether or not the bishop has any duty or responsibil- ity in such cases. c. M. BECKWITH,
 Bishop of Alabama. Montgomery, June 2, 1922.

NORTH BIRMINGHAM MOVIES

"We're glad to see a great improvement in moving pictures shown in North Birmingham" said Mrs. J. D. Glasgow.

MONROE DOCTRINE AND ENGLAND

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 R. D. Goss, in his article on anti British prop aganda in The Age Herald of June 8, includes the Monroe Doctrine among those policies of our country which have always been objection able to the British.
 We are told in history that the Monroe Doc Urine was suggested to President Monroe by the British prime minister. President Monroe saw at once the importance of the suggestion and enunciated the policy in his message of December 2, 1923. The British prime min- ister might have been actuated by a selfish spirit, but that does not detract from the inn portance of the Monroe Doctrine, which has the most far-reaching effects of any govern mental policy ever adopted by this government.
 The prime minister probably desired to have the United States shut Germany out of South America, and he realized that Great Britain had all the territory she would ever want in her possessions north of the United States
 When Cleveland issued his ringing message in the Venezuelan boundary dispute, demanding that Great Britain arbitrate or fight, the British took it good-naturedly and submitted, display ing fatherly feeling toward their own off spring, the Monroe Doctrine. D. B. GRACE.

GEORGIA PAPER A FOE TO
 THE KU KLUK KHAN

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun, which has been making a vigorous fight on the Ku Klux Kan, comments at length on the failure of the city commission of Birmingham to pass an ordinance directed at this organization. Says the En- quirer-Sun, by way of conclusion:
 In the meantime. we are just little disappointed
 at the comment of the Birmingham Age-Herald
 in the matter of the failure of it's city commits
 sion to put stop to masked parades. The atti-
 tude of The Age Herald is expressed in the fol-
 lowing paragraph which all that we could
 discover in it's issue of yesterday morning:
 "The Ku Klux Klan will continue to hold masked parRdes in Birmingham whenever 1t so desires.
 wise old woodpecker told us the city commission would not prohibtcry ordinance"
 Which Is scarcely in the bold and vigorous tone used by the Alabama newspapers in their attacks recent happenings in Columbus
 Distance to lend courage to editorial views these days.
 The fight on the Ku Klux Klan in Birming- ham was launched by the Bar association, which laid down heavy barrage at the city hall, but when the smoke cleared away was observed retiring to previously prepared posi- tions. Nothing was brought out during the controversy to prove that the klan had been guilty of lawlessness. When the klan begins to flog people or plant bombs, as was the case in Columbus, The Age-Herald will have some thing to say about it. At present, we are neither defending nor assailing an organization of which no outsider knows anything. It may be good, bad or silly, but all we hear about it's activities are nothing but rumors or charges which are not substantiated
 The proposed ordinance was discriminator, because it sought to suppress one secret order and took no account of others. The lawyers who urged their case at the city hall failed to show that the klan was menace to the peace and welfare of Birmingham.

STATEMENT BY BISHOP BEcKwITH

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In regard to the recently decided case in a church court of the diocese of Alabama vs. the rector of St. Johns church, Montgomery, so much has been said on one side beforle the trial that statement from the bishop seems to be due to the Christian people of the state, now that the case is concluded
 The rector of St. Johns church. Montgom- cry, last December invited Jewish rabbi to deliver, in the parish house of St. Johns church to St. Johns congregation and others an address which the rector had already heard the Jewish rabbi deliver in the Jewish temple, on ''The Attitude of the Modern Jew to Jesus"
 The bishop, after correspondence with the rector, believed this was violation of the law of the church; but before acting upon his conviction the bishop submitted the facts 10 the standing committee, his official council of advice, and to the chancellor, his legal ad- wiser; and was by these seven clergymen and laymen advised that it was his duty to pro- ceed under the canons of the church. The facts were then laid before an investigating committee, consisting of two clergymen and one layman, who unanimously preferred charges. So that the bishop had the concur renee of five clergymen and five laymen that he was obligated to proceed with the case The trial court has acquitted the accused. The court was not required to, and did not state
