THE NEW YORK AND ALABAMA CANALS

The New York state barge canal opened May 1. The Alabama canal, the Warrior river, has been open all winter It is never closed. The New York canal serves shippers between six and seven months of the year; the Warrior canal serves Alabama and parts of Georgia Tennessee and Mississippi the year around.
 When joint through rates in connection with rail carriers are ordered by the interstate com merce commission as in fairness it is bound to do the Warrior will serve not four states but . dozen.
 The Warrior is winning its vindication. A report in operations on the Warrior for April shows that tonnage received at four ports for redistribution far exceeds the record of any prior month. More shippers have learned the use of the Warrior; more appreciate the 20 per cent saving in the freight rates. More shippers are realizing the importance of this economy in the conduct of their business.
 Outsiders are sensing what the Warrior of fers. A large sugar refinery interest has made Tuscaloosa a sugar distribution depot for the states in the Warrior freight differentia terri tory. Sugar will be brought from New Orleans by large barge loads and kept in storage there. Others will follow this example with similar products at Birmingport.

ciTY's AUTOMOBILE EXPENSE
she Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 If the people of Birmingham want higher rents, higher groceries and higher living ex- penses in general, the thing to do is to vote the extra bond and tax increase; but before they vote for these things 1 wish to call their attention to the extravagant way the city's af- fairs are run. will call the peoples attention to the controversy between Mrs. Echols and MT. McLendon wherein the upkeep of 12 Ford cars for month was $1, 300, making cost of about S110 per Ford car per month, when everyone knows a Ford car can be run and kept up for less than $50 month, and at the end of 12 months have enough left out of the $50 to buy a brand new Ford.
 I will also ask the city commissioners if it is fact that they paying Canadian, that is not citizen of Birmingham, hand some salary of $500 per month, and also allows him S75 per month expenses for the upkeep of his car when said car is rarely used except to and from said persons home to work? Also, will ask the city commissioner, Mir. McLendon, does he know that the cty's automobiles are used for private use regularly? l will ask him, does he know that on last Sunday, at the hours of 12:3O, ?, 5, and 4:30 o'clock, there was a fine Cadillac automobile, owned by the city and used for private use at the above hours?

LIVING IN TENTS TO FIGHT
 EXORBITANT RENTS

The war between tenants and landlords in Chicago goes merrily on. A. E. Potter, busi- ness manager of the Chicago Tenants Protec- tive league, says 5000 dwellings, most of them apartments, will be empty this summer. About 500 fomilies have already pitched their tents in forest preserves near Chicago, and declare they will stay there until rents come down. County officials say that permits have been issued to 5000 families to set up tents in the forest preserves.
 With warm weather coming on, downtrodden tenants can well afford to breathe defiance and go back to primitive life. Living in tent is not 50 bad during the summer months. Until the novelty wore off it might even be some thing of lark, but the hard hearted landlords have an ally as pitiless and unrelenting as they aro, and his name is Winter. If they smile 0rimiy at the hegira of their tenants it is be- cause they know the revolt can't last long.
 When the first frosty nights arrive camping Sot will cease to be pleasant, and when Chi mGps justly famous blizzards start to blow

A MISSIONARY IN CHINA FOR
 TWENTY-ONE YEARS

Dr. T. W. Ayers, father of Col Harry M. Ayers, publisher of the Anniston Star has just completed his twenty-frst year as a medical missionary in China Dr. Ayers is at the head of the Hwanghsien hospitals which are main- tained by the Southern Baptist convention, and has been in charge of these institutions since they were established in 1901. He opened q dspensary in a gatekeeper's room, and there did his first hospital work in China. As an in- dcaton of the way the work has grown, the Baptists now have three buildings at Hwangh- sien and last year 37,593 treatments were given.
 The days of the crusades are over, but the same dauntless spirit which prompted Chris- tians in the middle ages to make their memor- able marches to the Holy Land is reflected in parts of the world to fight against disease, ig- norance and spiritual darkness. A missionary s life is one of hard work and self-denial, but it is invested with the gamor of the cross.
 Alabamians have followed Dr. Ayers career in China with much interest and sympathy, and they are glad to know that in spite of obstacles he has made great success of the Hwangh- sien hospitals. There must be thousands of Chinese men, women and children healed by his medical skill who call him their benefactor and friend.

 WHERE THE SOUTHERN OBTAINS ITS HEAVIEST TONNAGE

According to recent reports, the Southern railroads gross operating revenue this year IS in excess of such systems as the Lackawanna and 50 per cent ahead of the Great Northern. The population of five states in which it has 1000 miles of track has increased 50 per cent since 1890.
 The Southern is not an agricultural road any longer. Farm and animal products ing over it constitute only 10 per cent of it's traffic. The products of mines give 43 per cent and 80 per cent is made up of manufac- lures and miscellaneous freight.
 The percentage of traffic furnished the Southern railway by mines and manufactures demonstrates the importance to that system and to other southern carriers of the Birming- ham district. They get their heaviest tonnage here. They depend this district quite much as it depends on them.
 Birmingham owes much to the low raw ma terial assemblage rates and to low distributing rates accorded by the trunk lines in the early stages of her development. But the railroad systems profted quite much the district
 Every freight rate discrimination removed adds to tonnage and revenue.
 It will always pay the railroads to help Bir- ninpham

WILSON AGAIN TAKES A HAND
 IN MISSOURI POLITICS

Woodrow Wilson is described by Washington correspondents as feeble and broken man, but it is evident that he still regards himself as the leader of the democratic party and is not to giving advice
 To the Tumulty and Reed episodes has been added another letter, written to John c. Hig- don, an attorney of St. Louis, who consulted MT. Wilson in regard to seeking the democratic nomination for United States senator. AL though Mr. Higdon assured the former Presi- dent that he had Tots of money" to conduct a campaign and pledged his allegiance to the League of Nations, MT. Wilson replied:
 When advice Is seriously asked it is by you in your letter of April 27, feel that must
 give it in all seriousness and candor. My ndvice
 therefore Is to complicate the contest in Mis- souri by becoming a candidate for the nomination of the Senate.
 to give advice which anticipate will be unacceptable to you but if you believe in my political leadership think it will be wise for you accept it
 The other two candidates in the race are Sem ator James A. Reed, whom MT. Wilson has all ready repudiated in letter to the St. Louis
  was an assistant secretary of state during the Wilson administration. It appears that Mr. Wilson is taking hand in the Missouri contest for the purpose of defeating his arch enemy, Senator Reed, and nominating MT. Long. His advice to MT. Higdon 'not to complicate the contest" is significant.
 Aspiring democrats who have an eye on the next democratic national convention will have to reckon with Woodrow Wilson and the Will following. Attempts of presidential candi- dates to enlist MT. Wilson's support have met with no success, so far as the public knows. Neither the Cox nor the McAdoo faction seems to have made any progress in that direction. In spite of his disastrous defeat, MT. Cox still re- gards himself as presidential possibility, but Mir. Wilson is admittedly the real leader of the democratic party, for the simple reason that no one strong enough to be his successor has stepped into his shoes, although there is at least one man in the party who is capable of leading it to victory, and that man is Senator Underwood

NOT A LABOR UNION

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 l noticed in recent issue of your paper an article in which you referred to me as the lead CT of labor organization and to the Neptune association as labor union. l wish you would correct this statement.
 The Neptune association is not a labor unon The members of this organization are licensed under federal statute to be officers of our merchant vessels, and many of them were con- missioned in the late war by the United States navy as lieutenants and lieutenant command CTS, and in many cases they still hold these naval ratings. According to Admiral A. T. Mahan, who is the greatest recognized author ity on maritime affairs, going to sea is neither calling or trade, but profession. He also said, in speaking of the men wo go to sea- "They are race apart, neither themselves nor their calling thoroughly understood" The more come in contact with people ashore, the more l realize this to be a fact. An off, ficer on merchant ship cannot be classed as laborer any more than doctor or a lawyer.
 Quoting from our constitution and bylaws, the objects of this association are as follows {: 'To enable them to demand and obtain voice in the making of the laws and regulations un- der which they governed; to improve the condition and status of the profession gener- ally; to furnish assistance in professional mat ters, and at the same time to promote cordial relations with employers
 In view of the foregoing, trust that you will correct any erroneous impression which may have been given 10 your readers by re- ferring to me as labor leader and to sha Neptune association as labor union. Very truly yours, JOHN F. MILLIKEN,
 Secretary Treasurer.

A THRIFTY GLADIATOR

From the New York Telegram.
 Once in while, in contravention of the ac- cepted theory that money won in the prize ring is money only to be thrown away in diss- patton, we have the recent acquisition of a fine dwelling property in Edgecomb avenue-fa three-story and basement house at $16,00o7- by William Ward, who made his pile with his fists and kept it.
 There is spirit of profligacy in that pur- chase. It suggests sensible appreciation on the part of the boxer that primacy in the squared circle is not lifetime assurance for any one and $16,000 dwelling is pretty good thing to have for rainy day.
 Incidentally, it may be mentioned for the benefit of those who do not follow very closely the biography of pugism, William Wards name in the ring is "Kid Norfolk Until very recently he principal colored aspirant for the heavyweight championship

CAPTAIN STEPHAN IN CITY

Indications that we are going to have fine attendance at the annual convention of the Alabama Press association beginning in Montgomery next Wednesday," said Capt. w. T. Sheehan, editor of the Montgomery Adver- tiser, who spent yesterday here.
 "The newspaper of the state always seem to feel that they will get warm welcome at the capital, and judging from the letters re- ceived they are going to be on hand in good numbers this time.
 Business is picking up rapidly in Montgom- cry, and I think our recovery began earlier than in some of the industrial sections. There is much better feeling now in all circles"

Quoting Brother Longfellows poem, "The Skeleton in Armor, the Cincinnati Enquirer prints one line thus: "Shoal! To the Northand. Shoal!" Which creates the impression that the warriors soul was in shallow water Still, it's sinful to spring word like ''skoal' on a nasty composi.or.
 It is reported that when King Alexander of Serbia reached Paris he left his fancee to her own devices and rushed around to see an old flame. The future queen may console herself with the reflection that royalty doesn't marry to be happy, anyhow.

FEAR MAKES ANIMALS PERFORM

From the Worcester Telegram.
 opposed to training animals for public appear ances Its members are pledged to walk out of any amusement place when animal act is started. Whatever doubts there may be of the need of such an organization are lessened by a recent incident in Madison Square Garden Five tigers and panther were being put through their tricks for the first time before a crowd. It was evident the animals were act ing against their will. The panther became unruly The trainer, girl, finally brought down a pole on the beasts head with re- so she drew a revolver, fired in the panther's face and brought him in line. Naturally she also brought down the house.
 The animal trainer always has courage when the animals are dangerous. Sometimes the only advantage he has over his charges is his superior will But it is will power put to poor use. While some animals, such as dogs and horses, often seem to enjoy their part of the show, 1t is easy to see that many of them act solely through fear. If there is any reason why we should be kind to animals, there is no reason why we should tolerate some of the performances that we do.

 "The scenery along the route is beautiful. We passed by Oliver lake, recently purchased by the Y. M. c. A., and by the Roebuck golf links. I don't think I ever saw vegetation any further along for this time of year."

tents will be out of the question, certainly for city people accustomed to snug apartment houses and steam heat. Except in the immedi- ate vi inity of the north pole, no place has different kinds of vicious weather in winter than Chicago. If rents haven't come down in the meantime, what will the tenants do? There won't be anything they do but crawl back to their landlords and beg forgiveness.
