WHERE IS BOHEMIA?

From the Ohio State Journal.
 Is there still Bohemia? There seems to be a good dea lof doubt even among those best qualified to know Recently in Paris there was little celebration in honor of the cen- tenary of Henri Munger, author of "La Vie de Beheme," the real father of modern Bo- hemianism. The affair called forth quite a bit of comment, mostly to the effect that Bo- hemia has either vanished or is forgotten. Said one French scribe: "The Bohemia of today is conventionally dressed and romantic atti- tudes are no longer appropriate to it's prosaic coats and unattractive hats" While another who maintains that there is still sort of Bo- hemia adds: t.It is Bohemia which no longer seeks to shock the bourgeois; it no longer seeks to triumph over poverty by dint of gay- ety and truculent pride, but by dint of stub born, tenacious industry"
 We hope that this last opinion is true The Bohemia that means simply pose and careless living we are all tired of. Attempts to estab- fish it's picturesqueness in America have failed, as in the sad case of Greenwich Village, New York; because only the exterior symbols, not the true spirit of Bohemia, was aimed at. The Bohemia that will allow us to dwell unashamed in honest poverty for the sake of honest work, that we want to rediscover; but it can only be found in the earnest purposes of the mind and the heart.

 "As far as scenic advantages are concerned Chattanooga is one of the most ideal places in the south in which to hold convention. The hotel accommodations are also good.
 "Of course we took a trip to the top of Lookout mountain, which commands view of the country for miles around. The Masonic temple is situated on the bank of the river, and is a very commodious one. The city is making preparation to entertain the Civitan club convention on June 6, z and s.

NoRTHcLIFFE NEWSPAPER VALUES

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 If the deferred shares in Lord Northcliffe's Associated Newspapers, Ltd.,' are worth the selling price advertised for them, pounds 10 shillings share, the whole property is worth 6,475,000 pounds, approximately $25,000,- 900 of our money. The publications owned are the Daily Mail, the Evening News and the Weekly Dispatch. All are profitable. But Northciffe himself "bearing'' his own shares and those held by his brother, H. A. Harms worth, issues public statement to this effect
 "The price named for the deferred shares would appear to place an exaggerated value upon the earning power of the company, and the intrinsic value of it's assets. Holding such shares confers no political or literary influence whatever, control being in the hands of one individual"
 Sir John Ellerman has bought a big block of the deferred shares, of which 75000 are outstanding, plus 100000 of preferred and common shares. Gossip does not favor the idea that Elerman is trying to sell It offers three theories to account for the unusual man ifesto of Northcliffe. One is that he has a praiseworthy anxiety to protect the public from making unwise purchases, another that he wants to buy the stock in himself, as low as possible; third that he fears tax collec- tion on an inflated basis. At any rate, his course is one bound to stir comment through out the world of newspaperdom. American ex- perience indicates that the continuance of big earnings depends very largely on the single control that bars investors from any "polit- ical or literary influence Northcliffe IS wise in adhering to his basic principle, and probably also wise in making the world understand the limitations of his properties as money-making investments.

 Much Ado About Nothing.
A MORNING PRAYER
WORLD NEEDS SOLIDARITY OF
 ENGLISH-SPEAKING PEOPLES

Former Vice President Thomas R. Marshall the English-Speaking union in London for har- mony between England and America.
 He takes the sound position that there can be no real understanding between the two great nations while fat, snug American profiteers, pretending to represent the United States, come to London to cut swath on Picadilly row and while self-sufficient Eng fish visitors come to America to criticise the provincial characteristics of the American people,
 There is a world of true foresight in this paragraph from his address: God forbid the evil days when there shall be breach be- tween the people of our tongue. Treaties will continue to be regarded as scraps of paper un- til the people making those treaties under stand one another"
 Charles Dickens set back an understanding of the American people by the British several decades when he wrote Martin Chuzzle- wit,' in the course of which he described the Americans bragging, tobacco-chew- ing people ,illiterate and uncouth. Since his time many novelists publicists and others of the London dilettante set have made their visits to America mission of superficial criti- cism, with effort to discover the knship between the two peoples in essentials.
 On the other hand, Americas new-rich have given cause for wrong impressions of Amer jeans in Britain by their show of money and . their personal conduct. From each side men and women have come more with a view of attracting attention than of studying one an- other and founding mutual respect based on the common tongue and common aspirations.
 England and America have the job of keep ing the world straight. Their money power is the greatest in the world and their commerce and facilities for commerce the largest. Speaking the same language they are capable of making of their combined resources bull brown man, the Mohammedan and the un- trained Slavic hordes of eastern Europe who will stand a perpetual menace to the peace of Europe until they evolve higher civiliza- tion.
 It is time for English and Americans alike to pay more attention to simple truth-telling men like Thomas R. Marshall and the modest and truth-telling men like him who come from Britain, and less to those who entertain us with their idiosyncraces.

LITTLE ONES FROM BIG

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 We take off our hat to British taxation. It has done what our own system has failed to do and what the soviet system has over done In consequence the Duke of Richmond. pal of King George has joined the ranks of the new poor and offered for sale his estate, which covers goodly portion of the map, in- cluding a town and flock of 400 farms.
 The bolt which the proletarian government of the Russians shot at the head of czardom landed eventually in it's own stomach. The bolts which Congress has aimed at the trusts and the war profiteers have shaved the butter from the bread of the American consumer. More honor to the British taxation system which will make 400 farms more becoming to a multitude of small owners than they ever were to single jobless crony of the King.

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES WILL
 BRING BACK PROSPERITY

Another step toward normalcy was taken when the interstate commerce commission or dered reductions in freight rates averaging about 10 per cent. The cry of the shipper has at last been heard in Washington. The pressure brought to bear was strengthened by the almost universal belief in tho United States that one of the greatest obstacles to the return of prosperity were excessive freight rates.
 As the commission said in it's decision, Transportation charges have mounted to, the point where they are impending the free flow of commerce, and are thus tending to defeat the purpose for which they were established, that of producing revenue which would enable the carriers to provide the people of the United States with adequate transportation"
 The reductions ordered to become effective July 1 do not include agricultural products. Western hay and grain rates were reduced last fall, and the railroads voluntarily reduced rates on all agricultural products 10 per cent last January.
 The commission takes pains to make it's po- sition clear, both to the railroads and the pub

lie, and outside of railroad circles there will be little disposition to question the force of its reasoning or the fairness of its attitude. Commenting on it's decision the commission further says: "We are of the opinion that a general reduction in the rate level, as substan- tial as the condition of the carriers will per init, will tend not only to lessen the transpor- tation, burden but also to equalize and sta bilize the conditions under which commerce and industry are carried on, with consequent fuller assurance to the carriers of realizing the fair return contemplated by the law"
 The railroads may oppose the commissions order, but it is to be hoped that they will not stand in the way of prosperity for themselves and the general public A larger volume of freight will more money for the rail roads in the end Freight rates which strangle commerce are bad for the railroads, as well the shipper.
 The interstate commerce commission has given the railroads a chance to show that they are willing to cooperate with the gov- ernment in the all-important task of restoring normal conditions. This task cannot be ac- complished without the carriers, who consti- tute the greatest single factor in American business and industry.

UNIVERSITY AT MEMPHIS PLAN
 OF PRESBYTERIANS

Southern Presbyterians propose to establish at Memphis great denominationa school which will serve the educational needs of the Mississippi valley. The Southwestern Pres byterian university, which has been located at Clarksville, Tenn, for AT years, will be moved to Memphis, whose citizens have agreed to give half million dollars provided the Presbyterians of the southwest will add mil lion dollars to this sum for an endowment fund.
 It is declared the area of which Memphis is the center "is one of the most barren of higher educational advantages in the nation." Be that as it may, there is place and need at Memphis for the kind of institution which the Presbyterians have in view. Although much older than Birmingham, Memphis has not kept pace with this city in higher institu- position and such wide territory to draw its patronage from, the Presbyterian university at Memphis should be successful from the start, and do much for the cause of Christian education.
 Birmingham Presbyterians are cooperating loyalty in the work of raising the endowment fund. The quota for this city is $125,0 Other cities have already made substantial contributions and Birmingham is confidently expected to subscribe the desired amount for so worthy an undertaking.
 Incidentally, Alabama will benefit by the campaign, since $175,oo0 of the contributions from this state will be used to enlarge and m- ton and the orphans home at Talladega.

FAIR PRICE FOR COTTON
 SEEMS ASSURED

There seems to be nothing in the way of a good price for cotton this fall. Consumption is large and the carry-over to the coming sea- son will be small. The Wall Street Journal, after reviewing the outstanding statistics of supply and consumption, observes:
 Probable world consumption of American cotton will be 12,5o0,00o bales The carry over and crop of s,25o, ,oo0 bales would fur nish this But then what of carry-over for the next season? Mills of the world use more than 100000 bales of American cotton month, and at least three months supply should be carried. In the circumstances a crop of 100000 bales would be danger ousy small. The crop has had a poor start, and the first two weeks of May were unfav- orable. Twenty-cent cotton, therefore, looks cheap"
 Experts talk about as the Wall Street Jour- nal does. The statistics are undeniably in favor of the cotton producer. A fair price will be all the more certain because producers are perfecting their marketing machinery.
 Prosperity on the farms of the south this year is assured. Only a sudden and unex- pected calamity out of clear sky can pre- vent it.

BIRMINGHAM TO ASSIST STUDENT ENGINEERS

As an indication of the appreciation of the efforts of Birmingham in fostering education in Alabama, the board of trustees of the University of Alabama, upon the suggestion of President Denny of the university and L. Sevier, president of the Alabama Manufac- turers' association, has appointed an advisory committee to the engineering class at the state institution.
 This committee is composed of group of Birminghan's leading engineers and manufac- turers, and includes Frank H. Crockard as chairman, Morris w. Bush, George c. Craw- ford, w. E. Mitchell and John L. Raul.
 It is the hope of those sponsoring the new plan to keep the engineering classes at the university in constant touch with the great industries of the Birmingham district. This contact would not only take the form of giv- ing information but in arranging trips to in dustrial plants so that the students will have first-hand information on the engineering problems that have been solved here.
 It is felt that by this means Birminshaai'z industries will be aiding sae entire ssats. fcx

VALUE OF PRINTERS INK

From the Phil Campbell News.
 One of the best demonstrations of the value of printers ink that we have noticed has just occurred with Phil Campbell at one end of the line, and because of its local nature we feel that our readers will be interested in i..
 In conversation with the correspondent. of the Birmingham Age-Herald here, J. l.. N. Moore, good citizen of the town, mentioned that he would be glad to get in commun;ca- ton with his long-lost brother and sister, from whom he had been separated since their child hood, some 40 years ago, they then being around years of age Since then they had completely lost track of each other and no message whatever had passed between them.
 The correspondent for The Age-Herall wrote brief item for that paper, giving the facts of the separation, and asked that in case the article should come to the notice of anyone acquainted with the relatives, MT. Moore would appreciate the information. I,n- medatey after The Age-Herald appeared postcards and letters began coming to Mr. Moore, and the result was that he located his brother in Oklahoma and his sister in Georgia, from both of whom he has since had letters.
 All of which goes to show that if you want direct results, newspaper advertising is the best medium in the world.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE FATE OF THE "BETsEY ANN'

THE FATE OF THE "BETSEY ANN" The "Betsey Ann" was sturdy craft
 And sailed the Seven Seas; She poked her nose in thousand ports, From the Horn to the Hebrides. Through storm and spray she held her way And never came to grief On the raging main where the winds complain, Or on a sunken reef. Her name was known in Singapore,
 At 'Frisco's Golden Gate, She ploughed for miles through tropic isles With miscellaneous freight. She cleared with coal and lumber, too,
 With cocoanuts and steel; No matter what her cargo was,
 She kept an even keel. But her skipper yearned for profits large,
 So he filled her hold with gin And picked a place on the coast he thought
 Was safe for slipping in. The dry "navee" was there to see And spoiled his little plan And it may be long ere finish my song
 About the "Betsey Ann."

AT THE DOOR

By Eugene Field. I thought myself indeed secure,
 So fast the door, so firm the lock; But To, he toddling comes to lure
 My parent ear with timorous knock. My heart were stone could 1t withstand
 The sweetness of my baby's plea That timorous baby-knocking, and,
 "Please let me in-it's only me-" I threw aside the unfinished book,
 Regardless of it's tempting charms, And, opening wide the door, took
 My laughing darling in my arms. Who knows but in eternity
 I, like truant child, shall wait The glories of life to be,
 Beyond the Heavenly Fathers gate7 And will that Heavenly Father heed
 The truant's supplicating cry, As at the outer door plead,
 "'Tis I, o Father! only Ip'
