ROCKING THE CRADLE OR
ROCKING THE BOAT

Bishop Warren A. Gambler in Sou
thern Christian Advocate.
Rev. Fred Winslow Adams of
Springfield, Mass, has published re-
Gently most striking and wholesome
article under the caption, "Will the
Family Survive?"
H. points out most clearly some OF
the imminent perils which are beset-
ting the family in our day. His words
are not those of wild alarm, but of
solemn and timely warning.
His admirable article opens with
the following gripping paragraph:
''The fires of civilization will reach
no higher and burn with no whittier
heat than the fires Of the hearth. The
home is the real unit of our civiliza-
ton. If its fires go out, civilization
too, will shoulder and die. There
fore, rock the cradle and not the boat.
The hand that stops rocking the era
die will finally begin rocking the
boat
He is quite right, and too many
hands have stopped rocking the era
die and fallen to rocking the boat.
The movements of feminism in all
their forms tend to the undervalua-
ton of motherhood and the overes-
timation of public work. Being thus
out of moral balance they drop cas-
isIy into all sorts of radicalismS.
They gravitate towards socialism
and communism inevitably, although
often ;nsensibly to their advocates.
These tendencies have been most
marked since the close of the world
war. That awful upheaval unset
tied the mental equilibrium of null
titudes, and by it finely strung fem
mime minds especially seem to have
been most seriously and quickly un-
hinged. Many have become almost
hysterical in the leadership of dan
gerous agitations the ultimate end
of which they do not foresee. They
have found rocking the cradle alto
gether tame and tedious, and have
proceeded to make "thrills" for
themselves by rocking the boat, up
on the fate of which their own high
est interests and the welfare of So
ciety depend.
Upon this point Dr.. Adams speaks
in the following paragraph which is
characterized by both wisdom and
moderation:
''Today's new freedom brings its
assault on the very life of the fam
lily.
"The most dangerous doctrine OF
the World war is the doctrine Of self
determination, and yet it is funda
mental to democracy. The self de.
termination of woman has opened 8

has not shown partiality to either side of the controversy.
 The strike cannot be ended too soon to suit the public. When strike is declared there are the usual announcements by labor leaders that violence will not be tolerated. They are no doubt sincere, but the history of indus trial warfare has shown repeatedly that they promising to do something they cannot perform. For few days, or possibly for week or two, order may be maintained, but every day that passes adds to the tension and clashes are inevitable. Strikes are born in ill will and the longer they last the greater is the intensity of feeling aroused. The men who are higher up in labor circles cannot con their passions inflamed.
 We don't want any more Herrin tragedies in this country, but such outbreaks are liable to happen anywhere and at any time when there is bitter controversy between employ and workmen, particularly when strike breakers are used. Incidentally, President Harding In his recent proclamation said that men willing to maintain the operation of trains to transport the mails have the same right to work that striker has to quit his job. That was fearless pronouncement, but it will not improve the temper of the striking shopmen.
 The Presidents proclamation may have salutary effect in other respects. It unques- tionably strengthens the position of the labor board and the railroad companies trying to operate their shops with new workers but the thing to do IF to end the strike amicably by making reasonable compromises. The coun- try, which is now well on the road to recov- cry from the effects of the World war, can not afford to have business and industry<de- moralized

DAIRYMEN PLAN POOLING
 OF MILK SUPPLY

Dairymen of the district plan to pool their milk supply for more economical distribution to the retail consumer. The agricultural com mttee of the Chamber of Commerce has in- dorsed the proposal and will aid the dairy men in the formation of cooperative stock company.
 This is a step in tho right direction. <Un- doubtedly a central milk depot, with branches in strategical points, can more economically handle the supply than darymen themselves When dairyman peddes his milk he ire quently finds himself in competition with his brother dairyman in the same block.
 By pooling the Birmingham milk supply and retailing it through distributing agency, the dairyman will reduce his expenses, escape much drudgery, eliminate duplication and competition and have more time for the care of bis stock and other farm work.
 The city should get larger and more rec ular supply of milk by this method and the economies effected for the daryman should also be felt by the consumer

RECORD SALES OF BONDS
 BY MUNICIPALITIES

Sales of municipal bonds reached the high est point in June since 1913, and the total for the six months of the year Is far in excess of the highest record in 10 years. Sales in June were $154,0o0,0o0 compared with $125,- 000,000 in June, 1921, the next highest record in the period. Sales for the six months of the year total $713,000,0oo compared with $508,- 100000 in the same period last year.
 This new high mark In marketing municipal securities is a response to the easier money market and to the long pent-up demand of municipalities for improvements such as water work, trets, sewers, schools, auditoriums, and the like. This large amount of money is going into the employment of men, and while they are earning their daily wages, the mu- nicipalities are making themselves better places in which to do business and rear families.
 Many Birmingham industries have benefit ted by this municipal improvement work. Brick and cement plants are on full turn and slag is moving in record quantities. The structural steel works of the district are kept busy fabricating shapes for buildings Steel mills are making the steel that goes into the finished shapes Iron furnaces and ore and coal mines are at work at the foundation of industrial activity.

NO MORE WHIPPINCs FOR ALABAMA CONNECTS

Governor Kilby's order abolishing corporal punishment in the prisons of Alabama marks 8 great forward step in the more humane treatment of convicts. According to the gov ernors suggestions, other and better ways will be tried to enforce discipline. Prison CTS will be rewarded for good behavior by being granted certain privileges. An appeal will be made to whatever sense of honor they may possess and if they prove refractory, sol- itary confinement for the worst cases and deprivation of privileges will be the forms of punishment imposed
 The leather strap used for Fogging prison CTS Is a relic of barbarian. There are un- questicnably men behind prison walls who are difficult to control, but 1t is extremely doubt ful if there was ever time when a whipping did not mako the recipient worse rather than embitter e man and make him eager to get re- vengo sooner or later for the pain and humili- ation he has suffered.
 Great progress has been made by modern penologista in appealing to the better side of men and women who have been convicted of crimes. There arc but few who are beyond hope. Every man or woman who goes wrong is entitled to another chance, but the brutaiiz- ing influences of the old prison system often degraded them and made them confirmed enemies to society.
 An especially wise recommendation made by the governor is that extreme punishment should not be imposed without the approval of tho warden general or the prison inspec- tor. Hereafter, any warden who causes a prisoners to be whipped will be subject to in- stant dismissal
 The passing of the leather strap indicates a more enlightened spirit and is creditable to Alabama, whose treatment of convicts in the past has not been altogether commendable.

COTTON PRODUCERS IN THE
 ROLE OF MERCHANTS

The American Cotton Growers exchange expects to enter the market this fall with ap- proximately 2,500,000 bales under control of it's members. Alabama's quota is JOG, ,o00 bales, representing 13,000 growers. It is un- derstood that four active state organizations are handling more than $50, 100000 worth of cotton this season on the approved princi- pies of city business.
 A tremendous power will be yielded by an organization representing 2,500,000 bales of cotton. That will be about one-fourth of the estimated yield. The largest mill owners will have to take this organization into considera- tion when the staple commences to come in.
 The statistical position of cotton is unas- sailable. The largest possible yield will not offset the small carry-over, and the growing needs of the worlds spindles Merchandising that is practiced in the case of iron, steel, dry goods, shoes and hats is all that is required for good results. It should be especially borne in mind that good merchandising con- sists in turning over goods at the best mar ket price and putting the money derived from sales to earning more money.
 It is noticeable that there is less talk abou. holding cotton this year than in many preced- ing years Cotton producers have gotten down to business and will enter the market this fall as merchants, not gamblers, either bearish or bullish.

CLAIMS RECORD FOR SERVICE

1T claim the record for the length of time that have worn the same leather belt" said Charley Martin, bailiff of the grand jury. "The one that am now wearing has been in service for 20 years It is impossible almost to buy one now that will give 80 much service. In fact I have decided once or twice to throw the present one away and buy new one. But after wearing new one few weeks 1t would look so shabby I would go back to my old standby"
