SPEED UP EFFORTS TO CATCH MEN WHO BEAT DOWNING

One week ago tonight Dr. J. D. Bowling was taken from his home and flogeed Pub lication in the newspapers was withheld until Sunday morning, at the request of the au thorities, so they could get their investigation under way.
 In case of this sort a week is long time. It may mean the difference between success and failure in experimenting the guilty persons. It aas been announced from day to day that sensational developments might be expected at any time, but the press and the public are still waiting for these news tips'' to materialize.
 Detectives and other officials who are work ing on the case have been commercially ac- tive, but the possibility that the whipping of Dr. Bowling may go unpunished, as were pre- vious outrages of similar kind, is intoler- able. Birmingham simply cannot afford to submit to such fragrant violation of law and order, which has brought the citys good name into disrepute.
 The men who whipped Dr. Bowling were prepared to take desperate chance. They arc, not going to be caught easily. Nothing should be left undone to arrest and punish the perpetrators of this crime, who have issued a challenge the law-abiding people of Birming- ham must meet with every resource at their command.

CONSPICUOUS EXAMPLE OF
 A REPORTERS WORK

Kirke L. Simpson of the Washington staff of ths Associated Press has been awarded the Pulitzer prize of $1,00o for the best example of reporter'a work during last year.
 It was Mir. Simpson who wrote the 'fUn- known Soldier stories for the Associated Press when America's nameless hero was brought homo and inferred with the pomp and ceremony no monarch ever received in Arlington cemetery, at Washington.
 Although she-wrote- under high pressure Mir. Simpson caught the inspiration of those mem orable scenes and his narrative was one of the most graphic and impressive that has ever appeared in American newspapers. It created so much favorable comment throughout the country, and there was such an insistent de- mand that the writer's identity be made known that the, Associated Press, contrary to it's usual policy, issued a pamphlet containing Mir. Simpson's articles and giving him full credit for his york; a 4e44
 The old idea. that thereis wide divergence between literature and newspaper writing has been thoroughly exploded. Few novelists have ever equaled in descriptive power the account of the unknown hero's burial written by Mir. Simpson, It was fine and worth while achievement and credit to the news paper profession.

GROWING FREIGHT BUSINESS
 ON THE WARRIOR

A total of nearly 1,4oo tons of miscellaneous freight moved up the Warrior in the self-pro- polling barges Gufport and Mobile this week. There were substantial deliveries of freight st Mobile, Demopolis, Tuscaloosa, Cordova and Birmingport, the five river terminals, which distributed by railroads connecting with the ports.
 A wide area is covered by the 20 per cent differential rate on the Warrior. Points re- ceiving goods from these two vessels were Gadsden, Birmingham, Sheffield, Bessemer, Oakman, Decatur, Berry, J ingston Selma, Montgomery, Fayette and Anniston in Ala bama; Tupelo, Corinth, Aberdeen and Boine- siIle in Mississippi; Chattanooga in Tennessee and Atlanta, Bremen and Newman in Georgia. Pensacola received large portion of the ton mage delivered at Mobile, barges from Pensa- cola meeting the barges from New Orleans.
 A notable development is that of the newest of the ports at Demopolis, which is the river

INSPIRING CEREMONIES

"The commencement at the university this year was certainly inspiring" said Walker Reeves of Fayette, who was in the city yes. terday his way home from his graduating exercises, land the attendance broke all pre- vious records of crowds at these events each year.
 q do not know whether the fact that was getting my dip made the thing unusually at- tractive in my eyes or not, but the graduating class this year is the largest in the Capstone's history, and the sight of these youngsters just stepping out on the threshold of life, prepar- atory to beginning their lifes career, was cer- tainly fraught with meaning, and was inn pressed as such"

ened with death in the event news of the currence should be made public.
 The Journal has no information as to the circumstances which may have led to this in cident. Nor is it interested in them. But what it does know, and what every other news paper reader in this section knows, Is that a band of lawless men committed an inexcus- able act of violence, aimed not only at the health officer, but at the entire community. Almost no penalty short of death or life inn prisonment could be too severe to administer to those responsible, if they be apprehended.
 But Dr. Dowlings is not the first instance of a similar character in Birmingham. There have been other lawless mobs, and there have been other mob victims. Whether the victims deserved chastisement has nothing to do with the case. Every time the mob spirit becomes uppermost in community, then a step has been taken toward undermining law and gov ernment.
 If those responsible for previous floggings by masked and unknown men in Birmingham had been apprehended and given the penalty which their crime deserved, it is extremely doubtful if Birmingham and Jefferson county now would be embarrassed by the Bowling incident And if the assailants of Dr. Dowl- ing are not captured and punished severely, we may expect to hear of similar outragez in the future.

WALKING TO LEARN THE WORLD

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 President Masaryk of Czecho-Slovakia has just given another example of his practical idealism and wise forethnght.

After walking through -Slavia and Bulgaria the students will go to Constantinople and then to China and Japan. Thence passage will be taken to San Fran cisco and the leading cities of the United States will be visited on foot Prague university will publish a report of the expedition.

TIME TO CALL A HALT

From the Selma Times-Journal.
 The latest whipping outrage in Birmingham, no matter what provocation may be concealed behind the ostensible reason reported in the press isoatches, brings matters to climax that, it would appear, warrants summary ac- tion.
 Taking people out into the byways of the outskirts of the city and whipping them ap- pears to have become matter of course on the part of anybody seized with the whim. The conclusion will be obvious, taking into con- sideration the number of previous outrages of this character that have been sufficient to war rant drastic criticism of the courts that clean ing out of officials of Birmingham should be in order if the whippers are not cleaned out. The situation is almost inconceivable and should be insupportable. The better elements of Bir- mingham will now, no doubt, take hand in these affairs and that means they will be ended. The Rotary, Kiwanis end Exchange clubs of he city may be depended upon to do something, f nobody else does

ISSUANCE OF TAX NOTICES

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We understand quite "a number of the citi- zens and taxpayers of this city are under the impression that the tax notices of changes in value of property for 1922 were sent out ahead of time for the purpose of influencing the result of the bond election, and that we are responsible for same. As matter of fact the law requires the tax assessor to mail these notices before the last Monday in May of each year, and this board has absolutely nothing whatever to do with it.
 If the mailing of the notices has had any effect on the result of the election we dis claim any responsibility for same BOARD OF TAX ADJUSTERS, JEFFER-

A CHANGE FOR ECONOMY
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 Let us do little sum in mathematics. About 200 destroyers are laid up. The depre citation amounts to, say, s1oO,oo0,o0o the first year. Let us add 15,o00 men to the navy to put these destroyers back into commission. The pay, subsistence, etc., will come, let us say, to $9, ,o00, ,000 Let us add $6, ,o00, 900 for oper- atnig expenses. That makes $15, ,000 000.
 Now let us subtract $15,OOo,o0o from $100.- 00o,ooO. The result is $s5,o0o,ooo That IS approximately the amount that Congress can save the taxpayer by adding 15,00 men to the personnel of the navy. Here is an oppor- tunity for real economy

"TIPPERARY"
From the New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
 Owing to the death in California of Henry H. Williams, the native comedian and author of number of popular songs, the story that he also wrote "Tipperary" while he was play ing in England has been revived.
 That this is so is denied, however, by the American publisher of "Tipperary," who says it was the work of two Englshmen.
 The confusion arose from the fact that the name of one of them was Harry Williams But he, it is stated, had no connection with the man who was responsible for "I'm Afraid To Go Home in the Dark" "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree," Cheyenne" and other favortes on this side of the Atlantic.
 According to the Chappell-Harms company, the New York publishers, the best history of the song Is to be found in the records of the supreme court of the United States, where the rights of the English authors were estab- lished.
 It is natural that there should be keen in- terest in the question of authorship because "Tipperary' has had such an astonishing sue cess.
 The song was lying in state of suspended animation in an English publishing house at the beginning of the war.
 Some bandmasters, looking around for ma terial, were struck by the music. It was no sooner performed in public than it made hit. In short time it was being played by the band of every regiment in the British service.
 The song itself is trivial. But the chorus soon came to be an exact expression of the situation. The Hong, long way to Tipperary" meant the task before the allies that began at the first battle of the Marne and ended when the Hindenburg line was broken.
 Long before this country entered the war and "Over There" was written, Americans were singing "Tipperary' with tears in their eyes and rage in their hearts.
 It is said that over million copies of the song were sold in the United States alone.
 Like Dixie" Yankee Doodle' and "Madelon," "Tipperary" was accident. But, like them, too, it looks as if it would be inn mortal.

WASHINGTON IS THE PLACE FOR
 ECONOMIC CONFERENCE

Another sensible suggestion has been made fn Washington. Some of President Harding's advisors have urged him to call an interna- tional conference of bankers to settle Eu- rope,sAeconomic problems.
 The atmosphere of Washington seems bet ter suited to conciliation and clear reasoning than that ofsany old world capital. No mat ter where conference Is held in Europe, poli- ties will not down. In Washington possibly some progress could be made It is evident that little or nothing can be accomplished abroad until there is a radical change of policy among the nations which contributed to the failure at Genoa.
 The American government is prepared to take part in a strictly economic conference, and there would be no complications if it were understood beforehand that politics would be taboo
 Lloyd George says the work begun at Genoa will be completed at The Hague, but his op- tinism is not shared by many other statesmen in Europe. If The Hague conference is a repetition of what happened at Genoa 1t will still further weaken the position of the allied powers, who lost prestige without gaining any, thing substantial in return.

HOW CHARLES DANA GIBSON WORKS

Perriton Maxwell in Arts and Decoration
 After all Gibson is-Gbson; the who evoked with penpoint distinctive, original type of young womanhood and lived to see her acclaimed the ideal American girl, creation whose gracile loveliness transformed the man. ners dress, and even the mental attitude toward life of the whole sex in society and on the stage of two continents; the man who evolved per- sonal technique which has proved the despair of ten thousand immature and cumulative artiste; the man who for thirty years has held his su- preme position in the sphere of reproductive art as a vital, unique force. Today, at fifty-five, Gibson is the most widely known illustrator in the world. No worker in the difficult medium of pure line quite measures up to his stature as a stylist; none has his sureness of stroke, none his verve, his mastery over the simple but exact- ing tools he employees.
 It is an education in the value of concentra- tion to see Gibson at work I suspect you might discharge gun under his chair at such times and not disturb him. His tiny ink bottle is the reservoir of all that is engaging In masculine character. Nor is he wholly concerned with beauty, elegance and symmetry. For in the lat ter years he has turned cartoonist and packed a wholesome wallop in his pen. From the gentle ironies of the social scheme he has volte faced to the arena of pictorial castigation, lambasting the calloused hides of the Mach iavellis of Washington, knouting the hypocri- ties of civic administration and, during the World war, pouring the vitroil of his graphic wrath upon the quondam Kaiser, making, am credibly informed, the mad monarch even mad der than he was born. Gibson, too, has his pri- vate rogues' gallery, as Dickens had his; an ensemble of vagrom creatures of varying shades of character. It is crowded salon of types, this Gibson presence-chamber; it is peopled with picturesque egos who dare call the artist father. From the Gibson Girl, who un- consciously vamped nation, to his war cartoons, which helped it to victory, the list of human beauty and frailty, of human rectitude and moral laxity-in short, of the comedie humane.

 "Provded the plan carries all aceommoda- tions will be provided during the trip, and there will be no necessity to secure hotel reser- vations. The train will not be for the. Con- federate veterans especially, but for all who wish to take desirable vacation trip at that time."
