GREEN SPRINGS IDEAL PLACE

"A survey of Green Springs property will convince almost anyone that $10o,0o0 spent there would make it most ideal place for recreation of the public' said William L. Har- rison, commissioner of parks and playgrounds. "Those who are against the expenditure should by all means investigate the site. The two large clear, bubbling springs are great attrac- tons within themselves, besides the other natural attractions.
 "The proposed golf course is in keeping with action taken by other cities of the size of Birmingham. The public should have golf links and play the game with the same freedom as the members of the social clubs. The golf links in the Green Springs proposition, how ever, is only side project

ONE OF TWO THINGS

"Either the congregation of Highlands Methodist church must build the proposed ad- dition to the church and the Sunday school rooms immediately we've got to get another preacher, for Dr. Hendrix, pastor, is the cause of the great crowds that attend High lands Methodist church, many times the audi torium being so congested that people must be turned away" said Dr. Cunningham Wilson.
 "Dr. Hendrix's pastorate at Highlands Methodist church has been a great blessing to our congregation, which has formerly been in a state of lethargy, some accusing us of having no religion, others that we arstocratic -(and who ever heard of Methodist being aristocratic)-and all sorts of things. But whatever has been the trouble pr. Hendrix has found the key to the situation and he has unlocked the flood gates of Christianity and poured his religion and his humanity into our hearts and minds.
 "The only thing we afraid of is that when Dr. Hendrix goes to the general confer ence tomorrow out in Hot Springs, they are going to make him bishop Of course, we'd all be mighty proud of him, for he has all the qualifications of heart mind, and spirit, to be great bishop, but Highlands Methodist church would find it difficult matter to supply his place.

DOING THEIR BIT FOR BRANDON

q was observing just the other day in the office of Col. Edward Doty, the rank and file of the tilers of the soil, the laborer, the man of means and many others who filed through the private office at the Tutwiler to add their contribution in meeting the expenses of the candidacy of Judge W. w. Brandon for gov ernor," remarked W. John Durham.
 .I was not surprised altogether but inter- ested in noticing the people from almost every walf of life who come up to make their con- tribution, free-handed and without solicitation to meet the large expense which campaign necessarily carries with it. The sentiment, believe is nothing short of commendable.'

WHY N DON'T DIE.

According to the government mortality statistics, Kansans live
a wear or two longer than other Americans. The reason is plain.
We are never bored. Always something is going on and we like
the show. If it's not a cyclone, it's over-production, or a drouth,
or an uprising, or an industrial court, a lady with a Ratchet, or
Ed Howe, or the hot winds, or the worlds biggest crop, or some
thing else worth watching. Kansans have the box seats of the
worlds theatre and can always see the figures, issues, events,
causes and catacysms waiting in the wings for the cue from fate.
For things start in Kansas that finish in history. So Kansans
always are eager to see the act through. Kansas is hardly a
state. 1t is a kind Of prophecyl-W. a. White in Emporia, (Kan)

Blunt spoken old Oemenceau, who has announced that he is
going to visit America, tells lis that he isn't coming to consume
our eats or to attend our functions but that it is his purpose to
make four speeches and let it go at that. Of course, it will be a
keen disappointment to hundreds Of hosphable cities and towns
not to be permitted to fete the distinguished Frenchman and to
make all sorts Of fuss over him, but the Tiger has said mo"
and hence there is nothing for us to do except to swallow our
grief and make the best of it. Cemenceau has a message for
America hut it is doubtful whether it will be very warmly received,
at least in official quarters. He believes that the welfare OF the
world rests upon the resumption of the solidarity which existed
between the United States and our European allies, which existed
during the war. This doctrine hasn't been particularly popular in
Washington for some time but it may be that the logic Of events
across the Atlantic during the last two years has put our national
administration into a more receptive mood.

court are TO be elected next week.

sta central committee qualities

ary 1902. Circuit Judge and ex
Official Juvenile judge from 1902 to
1919. Judge of the appellate court
since January 1. 1919"
In an interesting editorial on
judges and politics. the Indianap-
oils News says. editorially:
-Four year ago when the Indiana
appellate court was reorganized the
Judges decided that the people had
elected them to attend to business
regularly coming before the court
They entered into an agreement. in
accordance with the higher courts
custom. that during their terms of
office they would make no political
speeches and take no active part in
political campaigns This agreement
was kept two years ago and 1t has
been kept again during this cam
paign just closing.
1T would seem that the members
OF the appellate court have sepa-
rated politics and the judiciary as
we'll as they could. It has not been
easy to resist demands that time be
given to political speaking. as
judges generally have had exper
ience In making speeches. When the
appellate court adjourned for its
vacation last July 1t had caught up
with tho business before II. Less
than four years before. when the
agreement had been made TO keep
years behind. Attention to busi-
ness has brought the courts work
IN TO where 1t should be. Atten-
ton to business by all courts would
result In fewer corplatnts about
the laws delays. The appellate
Judges who have made this record
are candidates for reelection. None
of them has appealed for support
from the stump. They are letting
their records make the appeal for
their retention on the bench.
Under our system the candidates
for judges are nominated as repre-
Sentatfvea of political parties and
their names go on the regular bal
lots The action OF the appellate
Judges has shown that being thus
placed on a party ticket does not
ryecessarily mean that a judicial
candidate must take an active part
In politics. II there is no reason

Revenue Collector Plans to
Force All COnViCtS to
Meet Penalties

The government is going to
tighten down the screws on boot
leggers" through the internal rev
enue department. NJ. Burt Thurman.
collector Of internal revenue for
Indiana. said yesterday. orders
were issued 10 every deputy col
lector in the state to sec that con-
victed bootIeggers are made to pay
the government tax on liquor man
ufactured in the state. This amount
viii reach $4,000 600 in Lake coun-
ty alone, it IS reported.
Notices from Washington, Mr..
Thurman pointed out, requires the
assessment of s12.s0 on each gall
lon of intoxicating liquor manu-
featured and in addition a penalty
OF $4,000 may be assessed. under
the provisions of the Federal law.
for manufacturing or selling in
toxicating liquor without gov
ernment license.
Mr. Thurman indicated that this
provision of the Federal statute
will be enforced throughout the
state in conjunction with other
laws which may trip up bootlcggers.
He said that Federal liquor law
violators viii be given an oppor-
tunity to come clean" with the
government and make any offers to
pay the required taxes. Such offers
he said, woud also be approved by
the prophibition director and the
district attorney.
ALL CONVICTED MUST PAY.
The tax and the penalty. Mr..
Thurman pointed out, apply not
only to those who may be convicted
in the future, but also TO those
who have been convicted In the
past. Mr.. Thurman said that the
law provided for fling OF warrants
of distraint. placing a lien against
the property OF the law violators.
which liens. he said. are never out
lawed
No figures are available OF the
amount OF back taxes that could be
collected under the provision OF the
internal revune law, but 1t is said
that it would run into millions OF
dollars. Estimates made by A.
Dick Maddox. deputy collector OF
internal revenue at Gary and Ham
mond, showed that from Lake coun-
ty alone the tax and the penalties
would net the government $4,000
600.
Mr. Thurman indicated that un-
less offers were made within a
short time by law violators to
