AMERICAN RELIEF WORK
 PUZZLES THE REDS

No matter what the scheming capitalstc countries of the world may be up to, War Minister Trotzky is confident that they will not catch him mapping. Casting his eye over the mundane sphere from a vantage point in Moscow, he sees trouble brewing in the spring for soviet Russia particularly in the Caucasus, and he kindly includes American capitalists in the plotting going in London and Paris in behalf of former Grand Duke Nicholas.
 It isn't so much Trotzky's militant attitude, backed by the strong red army, that interests us as his opinion of Americas disinterested relief work for the afflicted people of Russia ings of bolshevism. In recent address Trotzky said, But why do we praise Dr. Fridtjof Nansen and only express gratitude to the American relief administration Because we don't know what America wants. Some of ficials high in the American relief admnstra- tion have been opponents to the soviet govern ment. The day when America openly declares that she will not support Kolchaksm will be great 'noiioay III RUSSIA. Inen the Slgnl1lcance of the American relief administration's work will be really known"
 Trotzky is right in respect. High off cials of the relief administration are opposed to bolshevism and all it's works. Perhaps most of the American relief workers have no love in their hearts for Lenine and Trotzky. Ger tainly the American government and the Amer ican people who have come to the assistance of Russia's starving and disease-ridden millions are not doing it because they want to help the cause of bolshevism, but in spite of a strong antipathy toward Lenine and Trotzky and the tyranny they have set up. The call of suffer- ing humanity was stronger than political ex- pediency. Had America been asked to save the bolsheviki, instead of their victims, these advance guards of the millennium would have been permitted to starve.
 Trotzky, like some other Europeans, cannot understand why America should want to show generosity without having selfish motive cealed somewhere. The American relief work CTS have neither the time nor the inclination to spread propaganda against the soviet gov

STILL CONFIDENT OF FORD

"The people of the Tri-Cities are still hope ful that Congress will finally award the Muscle Shoals property to Henry Ford" said Walter F. Miller, editor of the Tuscaloosa Reporter, and leading candidate for secretary of state, who in Birmingham last night en route to Mobile and other counties in the southern part of the state in the interest of his can didacy.
 While our people realize the hard fight that is being made on Ford" continued MT. Miller, "they have never given up the fight, and won t give it up, until the thing is finally settled one way or the other. The acceptance of the Ford offer means the salvation of our section, and if there is man in the Tri-Cities or the Ten nessee valley who is not an enthusiastic Ford booster, have yet to find him.~~The statement of Senator Harrison in The Age-Herad that he believed Ford would get the properties has put new hope and faith into the hearts and minds of our people,"

SOUTH IS ENTITLED TO REPRESENTATION

Irrespective of the arguments for and against interstate control of intrastate trans portation, there is none against the fairness of the claim of the southeastern states to rep resentation on the interstate commerce com mission. It is injustice to this important section of the country not to have one or two men acquainted with its peculiar problems on the commission.
 Every other section of the country is repre- sented, but, as pointed out by Alabama traffic authorities, there is not a single member resi- dent south of the Potomac and east of the Ohio river to stand for the interests of that great basin.
 There are three general rate sections in the southern. In every decision of the interstate commerce commission on general rate making the difference between the three sections has been recognized Yet the south has no south mission.
 The south has pleaded for this recognition for some time. It should continue that de- mand each time there is vacancy on the commission until its plea is heard. We need representation now more than ever, following the decisions of the supreme court in the Wis consin case and that of the commission in the Meridian rate case, which heve practically wiped out the authority of state public service commissions and made the interstate commerce commission the sole arbter of rate questions

EVIDENCES OF BETTER FARM CONDITIONS

Dealers in high explosives say their business is better than it was at this time lase year, due to greater use of explosives in construc- tion work. The agricultural demand is also noticeable. There is close connection be- tween dynamite and the farm. It is used for blowing up stumps and in recent years quan- titles have been employed in breaking up the ground where fruit trees are planted.
 Breaking up the soil beneath fruit trees enables the roots to strike deeper and develops a stronger tree that bears greater yield of fruit. The powder companies have spent many thousands of dollars in demonstrating the value of dynamite for this purpose.
 Renewed interest in wire fencing is roted by the wire drawing mills. All last year the farmers contented themselves with wire, either stringing wire for fences, or using it to patch up old ones. Recently they have entered the market again for wire fencing, which costs more and whose purchase shows that the farmer has more money to spend.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES

PRAISE FOR ROY COHEN

For the past four months have been n Florida enjoying most delightful visit there,' : said MT. J. c. Nelnls, who with her hus- band, MT. Nelems, and Mrs. J. c. Phillips re- turned the past week, land everywhere I went people asked me about Octavus Roy Cohen.
 From Toledo, Ohio, there party of charming people and they were especially in terested in him because of reading his stories in the Saturday Evening Post and they asked me innumerable questions about him. Of course I told them all I knew, but that was not sufficient and then one morning my Age Herald arrived, and 10 and behold there was story about MT. Cohens new book, Midnight, , by Dolly Dalrymple and picture of MT. Cohen is the most popular writer of the day, hotel and it created great sensation.
 "My friends from Toledo also wanted to know who Dolly Dalrymple is and if that is her real name, and I certainly felt proud of Birmingham with the two clever celebrities to our credit. I really believe that Octavus Roy Cohen is the most popular writer of the day for people simply delighted with his stories and talk about him everywhere"

ACCORDING TO CANUTE
By Arthur Brisbane.

By Arthur Brisbane.
 King Canute of Denmark, who conquered England and Norway, and ruled three countries, is the gentleman that rebuked his servile cour- tiers who said he could do anything. He sat at the edge of the ocean, telling the waves to back up as the tide rose. They would not back, as Hume tells the story, and the pious King bade his courtiers remember that only one could say: "Thus far shalt thou go and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed.'
 He's been dead almost 900 years, but Ca nute's law to protect wives still rules. He said wife helping her husband to commit q crime must be held innocent on the theory that the husband had forced her to it, since no wife would dare say no to her husband. Some mod ern wives do not fit into that picture, but quot ing Canutes law, a London court has acquitted Mrs. Peel, society lady, who helped her hus- band swindle bookmakers.
 Captain Peel wired bookmakers making bets on winners after the He bribed the tele- graph agent to mark telegrams of an earlier hour. English bookmakers settle on the hour marked on the telegram.

THE CATHOLIC MIND

Webster's Unabridged Dictionary-which can hardly be accused of sectarian bias defines "catholic" as 'tnot narrow-minded partial, or bigoted." It defines the Cath olic church as the whole Christian church." and says that man is catholic who accepts the creeds which are received in common by all parts of the orthodox Chris tian church." It occurs to me that since all of this is so, no man ought to resent the imputation of being a catholic, since not 70 be means to be narrow-minded, partial and bigoted, and to reject the creeds which are commonly believed in the orthodox Chris tian church everywhere. At least, this is the verdict of Webster and the simplest law of logic. There is a Protestant denomination called Christian" and since the Roman Catholic does not object to being called Christian, see no reason why we Protest ants should refuse the name of Catholic, unless-as sometimes happens-it is unde- served. It is possible-and desirable-that we be both. If religious people would but free themselves from the prejudices of the dark and bloody Reformation age, it would be possible for us all to realize large and more sympathetic unity than we have yet achieved. And this applies to Protestant and Roman Catholic alike.
 As matter of simple English, Protest ant" and Catholic" are not opposites though we generally use them as such. The terms Protestant and Roman Catholic may be used to designate the Reformed churches and the Church of Rome, respectively, but the opposite of "catholic" is "sectarian,"
 Al
 in which none of us will glory. The sec tartan is one who believes that his own church and creed include the full truth of Almighty God, and who looks with suspicion or even hostility on those who worship God in other ways. From this it can be seen that even Roman Catholic may be "sec- tarian," and that Protestant merits the name when he denies Christian fellowship to the disciple of Rome.
 The sectarian is like a man in barrel, looking upon a beautiful landscape through the bunghole. The part of it that he sees is beautiful indeed, and he is a sec, tarian, not because he sees merely part, but because seeing the part-he swears that the part is all The catholic-minded man-the true catholic--sits on top of the barrel, and looks upon the rising and the setting of the sun, and sees glores where he never thought to see them, and of which the sectarian inside never dreams.
 If man can rise to such catholicity as this, he is fortunate. He can leave the sectarians behind and ignore them as they shout their little shibboleths from the cracks through which they are peering at the sun iOhf md nd +bo noon day brightness with his bethren- and God.

A NEW CAUSE FOR DIVORCE
he Montgomery Advertiser.

rum Iue houISoHely <AuNerIlSeT.
 Berlin court has recognized political in- compatibility" as ground for divorce This is an interesting precedent to be made at a time when feminism is overrunning the world, when the political woman is an outstanding phenom- enon of the time. We believe no American court has yet gone so far as the Berlin mag istrate, but it would not be hard to believe that after a characteristic American method of do- ing things indirectly which others do frankly and directly, American petitioners for divorce may have achieved their end under camou- flage-that is to say, it may be that political incompatibility may have brought couples into court, but under other pretenses. However we progress rapidly in many curious directions and the time may soon be here when in some of the states political incompatibility will be frankly accepted as cause for divorce.
 In which case, the high tariff husband and the low tariff wife will present problem not to mention the wet husband and the dry wife, the high-tax wife and the low-tax hus- band etc.
 Germany leadslthe enlightened countries in divorces, with the United States a close second, and all other countries witnessing steady annual increase in domestic tragedies. Amer ica is piling up around 115,000 divorces year. When political incompatibility' comes to share honors with incompatibility of temper, and cruelty, shall see the rate increase Meantime, where are we headed?

COURT OF DOMESTIC RELATIONS
 PROPOSED BY JUDGE LOCKE

Elsewhere in The Age-Herald this morning Judge Hugh A. Locke suggests that the pres ent juvenile court be transferred to the cir cult division and court of domestic relations be established to handle the work now being done by the juvenile court, as well as the divorce cases and resulting litigation which takes mp so much time in the chancery court
 Judge Locke's suggestion deserves thought ful consideration. Courts of domestic rela- stions have been established in many cities and they have truly filled Hong felt want" The chancery court is literally swamped by di- vorce cases, which seem to be increasing in number every year. Where children and Woperty rights are involved the litigation is apt to be prolonged. As result, the chancery court has to bother with these cases when it might be devoting itself to more important matters which come within it's jurisdiction.
 The recommendation of Judge Locke is de- signed to meet situation which should be remedied. The system now in force for han ding divorce is antiquated and no opportunity
