THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR
 IS SOMETIMES HARD

William H. McGannon was formerly chief justice of the Cleveland municipal court. While he was the bench he sentenced many convicted criminals to prison. He is now serving sentence in the Ohio penitentiary for perjury, in connection with his trial for murder. Of the latter charge he was ac- quilted.
 McGannons fellow prisoners showed such hostility to him that he was segregated to protect him from their abuse. It is reported that they threw pebbles at him when they met him in the prison yard and during meal hours threw bread in his face. Some of these men are said to have appeared before him in court. There is little love for criminal judge among the inmates of a penitentiary.
 Before the scandal occurred which cost another man his life and disgraced McGan- non, he stood we'll in Cleveland as citizen and public official. Commenting on his down. fall the Cleveland Plain Dealer said he had been 'good fellow" While performing his

WHY NOT ONE RULE AS TO
 JOINT RATES?

Birmingham has fast rail and water serv- ice between New York, Boston, Philadelphia Baltimore and other eastern cities by coast wise steamers and rail carriers entering the district. These steamships and railroads en- joy close and friendly relationship. Their joint service is advertised by the rail car riers, who point out it's merits to the shippers of Birmingham.
 It is quite natural for one to inquire if extension of rail and water service, wherever available, would not create the same mutual satisfaction as it appears to do in these in- stances? That being the case, why is it that so much difficulty is encountered in effect ing joint rates between other rail and water carriers?
 Why does not the interstate commerce commission make it obligatory for all rail and water carriers with junction points to exchange traffic at fair division of joint rates? There should be no choice in the mat ter. All common carriers should come under the same ruling.
 Railroads should main tain joint through rates with the Warrior barge line and the Mis- sissippi river barge line as we'll as joint through rates and exchange of traffic with the coastwise service from the northern Att lantic seaboard.

FOR SMITH PARK

q am for Smith park" said Miss Alma Rittenberry, land don't think the city of Birmingham is giving the Smith estate any thing.
 Tn very few years this location will be in the center of the city and an auditorium needs large grounds for parking purposes because great number of the patrons of the lectures and other entertainments that are given in auditorium of this class attend in automobiles.
 "The site selected on Eighth avenue is very undesirable. Street cars make a great deal of noise in front and the switching on the Kansas City railroad tracks back of it would deaden any tone of the musicians or the voice of any lecturer.

A MANY-sIpED JOKE

"The joke is on four of us" said M, P. Mes ser. ''Dick Johnston and agreed that Ralph Blach had made fine presiding officer at the 0ptimist club on Tuesday. So Johnston quoted me in the Lobby column saying how well Biach had acquitted himself.
 "That is, the intention was to do the nice thing by Ralph, but Johnston's pen slipped and it appeared that Julian Caheen, who is not member of our club at all, had presided. Julian Caheen is another mighty bright young Birmingham man and would have done himself proud under the same circumstances, but he did not figure on that occasion.
 "The unique thing about this slip of the pen is that Johnston is an Optinist club mem Der and knows Ralph Blach as well as I do. Just one of those odd tricks that the pen win sometimes play"

DEDICATION

God, in His loving wisdom, set before me duty to be done. I looked upon it, and turned away dismayed It was too great for my strength; my shoulders could never bear the burden. There were dangers in volved before which I was a coward. looked upon that, and quit. Lord, cannot do it..
 We'll God knew I could not do it when He gave it to me. He knew my weakness long before I did. He knew it through each former prideful moment when I was blindly boosting of my strength. God knew the burden was too heavy for me to bear; that the wisdom required was more than could ever make my own, and these were the very reasons why God gave this par ticular task to me. Had the task been easy, the giving of it would have defeated the plans of God. I would have gone to it in confidence. would have done it, and turned away glorying more than ever in my own courage and, wisdom and strength. I would have turned away with less sense of my need of God than had had before. The task would have been dene-if it had been an easy one, and I would have been farther from God.
 God never meant that I should do thA great and staggering thing. He only meant that I should give myself to Him, that He might work through me. By this, He taught me two things: that of mine own self I can do almost nothing, but that can do nearly all things through Him, which is but another way of saying that He can do all things through me. There are many little duties in life for which my strength is usually srf-% ficient. l can keep roof over my head, and find bread for nourshment and clothes to cover me, without any conscious reliance on God I can find my pleasure without turning to Him for help, and because my life is so largely made up of these trivial things have developed within myself some- thing that I call "self-reliance," and of which I am inordinately proud. But self reliance can mean but one thing; that I hays been satisfied to do the unimportant things of life. could never have developed it if I had been concerned with matters of seri- ous import, for in the face of these my human strength would have failed me, and self-reliance could not have lived. If I have faced pain or sorrow; if death has stopped at my door; if the call of the great miserable world of men has ever echoed In my heart have learned that self is nothing, and that God is everything; that He it is who must help me bear the pain or meet the sorrow, or answer the worlds age- long cry.
 When face the great things of life, I must turn to God-or fail. If I turn to God, have triumphed, though I break or die in His hands. I need not fear because I cannot do the thing God sets before me. There is always one thing that I can do. can place myself in Gods hands, and cease my worrying, and with me, God will do whatever needs to be done.

BOYS APPRECIATE MOVIES

"The juvenile court boys have expressed to their appreciation of the kindness of the management of the Trianon in inviting them to see Jackie Coogan in Trouble" said Mrs. Myrtelle Shell.
 They say the picture taught love and re- spect for each other and that it also showed a mother could love an adopted child. The children were especially thankful for the moral lessons in the picture and I am cer- tain that it aided them in many ways. Pic lures like these will do much to impress upon the growing child love of home, respect and honor of parents and desire to become a good citizen.1

official duties he was the upright judge, 5 but at other times a profligate.
 Here is theme for sermon that need not be preached. Scorned by the wretches who share with him the infamy of prison, fallen from his high estate and pariah even among pariahs, McGannon must be a miserable man, if he has a spark of sensibility or remorse. It would be hard to find man in these broad United States who is less to be envied.

SAYS NEW SITE NEEDED

"The question of the city auditorium site in Birmingham is unsuitable, no matter how it may be decided' said w. B. Leedy, local realtor.
 Neither of the parks seem to be fit for the erection of the auditorium and personally I am opposed to both. new site should be obtained by the city which to erect the building. An auditorium over in the Country Club district would be far more suitable than Smith park, as it would provide more beau tiful surroundings"

"oLD soAK's' IDEAL JOE

From the New York World.
 If that man is happiest whose daily task suits his strength, his tastes, his habits and his philosophy of life, then "Old Soak" whose alcoholic prowess has enlisted Don Marquis sympathetic pen, should be ideally employed as a "revenooer"
 He could get the job. He is just the man the enforcement army commanders are look ing for. John w. Davis, who is training pro- hibtion agents for service in Pennsylvania, explains that they are classified as wet and dry, like the men and the communities they are to watch with an austere eye for signs of bibuous abandon.
 There are agents who never" and agents who hardly ever, or much oftener, drink. Both are essential in obtaining evidence.
 By sending out teams of wet and dry en- forcers the agent who drinks can buy the liquor and the dry men cane witness the sale, thereby furnishing the corroborative evidence required by the government to constitute an illegal sale of liquor.
 The dry agents fare not compelled to drink while in the service" The wet agent of the team has to taste the perdition brew he is putting down; probably to make sure, he has to sample his dry partners glass as we'll as his own. He is the one man in a thirsty waste who can go to bed every work-day night properly pickled, with the .virtuous feeling thar hes has acquired his temporary oblivion of the cares of life blamelessly and in the public service. Say not No man is happy'' while iSOld Soak" works for Volstead.

 II AND MEN .OF THE ENCOURAGING SPIRIT

And, the same way with the county board of revenue. Instead of kicking, let us help them and get good roads and good county government.
 Of all of them--of county and city-therc is not one grafter or dishonest officeholder for themselves and become worthy of greater honors.
 Tom Huey, for instance, of the board of revenue, is trying to get public subscription to build tuberculosis hospital, with hun dred beds, for unfortunates, and induce the city and county to maintain it. If Tom Huey succeeds in this he will entitle himself to be put on pinnacle of fame; and some day have a statue of himself erected in public park.
 Every optimist in the Birmingham district will wish Tom Huey success; and win help him.
 Men who do good and unselfish work sue ceed. Mckinley became President because he worked for the betterment of humanity Lincoln had set the example.
 Underwood, of Alabama, will probably be the next President, because he has the con fidence of all the people of the country in his public acts. He has never once played the mean little game of petty politics. He has been the statesman and the upbuilder; ad- vising correctly; building properly, and never undermining.

 Would that the south and its component parts, develop men of construction and optimism. When we do, the spirit of the old south, intermingled with the new, will make a great people, of which all the world will be proud. People are merely what they make themselves.

 There is not a man of it with kick or grouch. They come in every day with smiles and congratulations for their associates in having done good work.
 Even the advertising men tell the reporters what good stories they had; and the reporters tell the advertising men how well they showed up in copy. One of them yesterday was so enthusiastic he suggested that several ride upon their shoulders that dear old elongated and apparently under-fed Riddle of the ad- yertising department because they believed he had written an advertisement more opti- mistic and encouraging than Dick Johnston had gotten off in his For the Good of the Community column.
 #
 Later at the staff meeting, when Riddle was called upon for suggestion, he said: "Why not encourage these fellows who have been elected city commissioners and members of the board of revenue, instead of helping the aspiring politicians to queer them. These boys are in office, and need encour- agement''
 
 Those words of Riddle had effect in inspir- ing Stanley to write that editorial in yester- days Age-Herald encouraging the city com missioners of Birmingham. These men of the Birmingham city commission are in power They need encouragement and help The four men and one woman need advice rather than knocks. They were elected by the people; and all the people should help them pull Birmingham up to the pinnacle of prosperity.
 Let us all give them helping hand.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:

 Everyone should cooperate with the city and deposit their waste paper in these cab inets instead of throwing it on the streets There has been marked improvement since their installation and am sure that the city is very much pleased with them.
 The advertisements on these cabinets are also very attractive and are always kept neat and clean. Yours very truly,
