JOURNALISTIC PORTRAITS

From Life.
 Figures as you know them after reading a grist of daily papers.
 Your United States senator: A stanch, fear less advocate of the peoples rights, he is a craven, abject tool of the interests the holder of purchased seat and the honored object of the suffrages of free citizens He reveres, in terprets and defends the constitution and would not hesitate to tear it to pieces. An example of idealism and altruism, he does everything from a selfish motive. He is thoroughly cor rupt and one of the noblest men who ever breathed.
 Your favorite picture star: She is spoiled, lazy creature who spends the day in bed and rises at o'clock in the morning to prepare her own breakfast in her personal, diamond-stud- ded kitchen that she carries with her wherever she goes. She is lover of domestic peace and tranquility and has been married six times She has an angelic disposition and flies into rage at the slightest provocation. She is athletic, often playing polo in her swimming suit, and seldom goes out of doors except on business. She was born in 1888 and is 19 years old.

FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS
 OF JESSE JAMES

John F. Kennedy, a modern Jesse James, died in a hail of bullets near a little Missouri town, where he and his gang robbed train. Jack" Kennedy, as he was known to fame, was 52 years old. He was said to have been a remarkable pistol shot, and in the eyes of was probably regarded as something of hero. Most bandits take pride in their calling and Kennedy was, no doubt, well pleased to know that his name was a terror in Missouri, and or kill him. He committed many robberies but the law got him at last, as it gets nearly all the desperadoes, in one way and another After devoting most of his life to banditry Jack" Kennedy was better off in this worlds goods than when he started his career. He was born in a district Independence, Mo-, which had served as hiding place for Jesse James and other outlaws. Perhaps the stories he heard of the James boys in his youth fired his imagination and caused him to follow in their footsteps. Whatever prompted him to seek livelihood with brace of pistols and gang of cutthroats behind his back, he chose an arduous and unremunera- tive profession.
 There isn't much gamor in an actors life to those who know what it really is, and there is even less in the career of a bandit, how ever picturesque he may appear to be and handy with his shooting irons. Driven from pillar to post, with the forces of justice al- ways on his trail and compelled by hard necessity to commit one crime after another, merely to keep body and soul together, he is not a person to be envied. In fact, he is a poor, misguided fool who could earn an honest living with far less effort gel die comfortably in bed, with friends and family about him, and not like jackal.
 Frank James discovered years ago that banditry didn't pay. So he reformed and set tied down. Al Jennings, who has done some- thing in literary way and has graced the lecture platform, could have given "Jack' Kennedy good advice. He, too, was bandit and saw the inside of prison with O. Henry but he had sense enough to realize the folly of his ways and ceased to be "bad man. Some of us escape the immediate consequences of our sins, but in the case of train robbers the way of the transgressor is always hard and the end is ignominous.

coMMENDs TREASURER ELLIS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: xs
 Will you please permit me to make brief comment on the criticism that has been made of my friend State Treasurer George w. FL lis, for the appointment of his two daughters as his assistants?
 MT. Ellis has undoubtedly violated the rule of politics, for which I commend him. Nepo- tism is cardinal sin to he-politicans. They want all the jobs for themselves or their hench- men.
 MT. Ellis has just been given the office of state treasurer by the people of Alabama. It is responsible position I don't blame MT. Ellis in the least for wanting assistants in whose hands he knew his honor and position would be safe. Knowing the Misses Ellis as do, I feel safe in saying either of them would make good or better state treasurer than their father, and by that same token, good

YOUR VOTE WILL HELP SOME
 ALABAMA TOWNS

rys Alabama voters asked next Tuesday to
 cast their votes in behalf of certain munich ( palities of Alabama which want permission to fas. themselves to make urgent internal im- X sproyements.
 W No one is affected except the people of the
 municipalities themselves. They want water szWorks and do certain other things, but under
 fh6 constitution cannot do this without the
 3ermission of the voters of the whole state. x No political issue is involved. It costs no one .s I cent except the people of the towns af-
 xected. All they ask is permission to spend skome of theiy own money to safeguard their 7 own health.
 s# The case of Talladega is especially urgent z;.The people there want new water system tsbecause their present supply is not only in-
 3dequate but dangerous. Former Talladega &Sltisens all over the state have been asked to x sSSsist in explaining to the voters their situa-

HOW DRY THE OCEAN ISL

From the Wall Street Journal.
 While foreign shipping has breathing spell before the Daugherty dry ruling becomes ef- fective, due to the decision to await supreme court decision, the situation is causing not little worry. There has even been serious thought of anchoring ships outside the three mile limit so that foreign flag ships might unload and take supplies of liquor, thus enabling them to slake the thirst of passengers without at the same time violating United States regulations.
 The main objection to the plan seem to be the delay which it would necessarily involve. The express transatlantic liner of today operates schedule figured down to monutes and valuable time might conceivably be lost in picking up the floating distery and making the necessary transfers of bottled goods. Then there is always the danger of missing or running into the waiting ship in thick weather, to say nothing of the protests tain to come from that section of the passen- ger list which lis intrigued not the slightest by the prospect of imbibing a Martini or Scotch high"

ing permission to Talladega to tax herself for a suitable water supply.
 There should be no opposition to this con stitutional amendment, which will be known on the ballot Tuesday as Amendment No g. Birmingham has several hundred citizens who came from Talladega who have done much for this city. It would be graceful compli- ment not only to these men who are so deeply interested but to the city of Talladega itself, if Jefferson county can give a practically unanimous vote for this important amendment at the polls Tuesday.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO
 HAVE ITS OWN HOME

The management of the Chamber of Com merce is wise in its determination to acquire a permanent home, owned by the chamber.
 The chamber, under the businesslike system of operations maintained during the past two years, has become real community clearing house. Its directorate has been made repre- sentative one and, Under the new system of electing the board next year, all interests of the community are assured an equal voice.
 The old Commercial club parent of the Chamber of Commerce, served Birmingham well in it's fledgling days, but the city has reached the point where it requires. a fully equipped clearing house to care for commu- nity interests The Chamber of Commerce today is an organization standing for all the business interests of Birmingham and it should have home of it's own esneciallv Adanted to

SO CARPENTER FELL

Maurice Prax in Le Petit Parisien, Paris
 People are wondering why Carpenter was whipped; how Ski happened to win. Expe- rienced sportsmen and the experts of knockout and upper cut will all give us their opinions, and am going to give mine.
 Siki won because he has not yet gone into pictures. Carpenter lost because he is in the movies. In short while, no doubt Ski will get into pictures, too. Then his fall will come.
 M. Provost asked in the Figaro, some time ago: "Can writer follow another metier?" and many writers answered, some in the nega- tive, others in the affirmative. It wasn't set tied.
 The boxer Carpenter, now answers for every metier and professionalism boxing well as literature. You cannot be in two professions at once, under penalty of failing in both You cannot be writer and also cobbler; or the middleweight champion of the world as well as a movie star.
 You must make your choice, and when you have done so, stick wholly, solely and contin- uously to your selection, or change it for some thing else, or become an amateur.
 There is not room in the life of one man for two professions or labors followed simulta-
  one alone Then as matter of recreation, he can fish, play the flute or hunt butterflies. He may distract and bore himself much he pleases in various ways, outside of his pro- fcssion.
 Georges Carpenter was great as long he remained boxer md only boxer. Then he became movie star and lost the secret of his strength. He could not decide between the ring and the screen. And now he no longer shines in the ring and has not yet shone the screen. When he is acting he is thinking of boxing, and vice versa. It doesn't work.
 And then the crash. In the ring the other day Georges was thinking of the clicking cameras. He smiled, postured, enjoyed himself the movie hero
 Ski thought only of fighting. And he smashed the beautiful Georges.

SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING
 IS UNIVERSAL

Do the Thanksgiving proclamations of Amer ica's chief executives seem trite as they are issued annually at this season? The word- ing is, because there is nothing new in the sentiment, but so is the Lords Prayer trite in that sense. There is nothing new in the Decalogue, nothing new about the Golden Rule.
 But we do not live altogether by what IS new. There are certain truths at the thresh- old of existence which stretch through the corridors of the lives of men and of nations as binding and as potent as when man first felt awe of the unknown and began the wor- ship of God.
 The good citizen is thankful for the bless ings that have come to him. Good that is measured in acquisition of money, power ana prestige commands thankfulness, but there has been good in friendships, in family relations and in escape from perils physical and mental.
 The philosophy of "Pollyana' is irre- futable. There Is always something worse that might be or might have been. That the spirit of thanksgiving is in the very souls of men is proved by the universalty of some annual feast of which that is the dominant idea, whether feasts of fruits and flowers, of the harvest season or what not
 This country has special cause for thanks giving this year because it has marked grad ual but sure return to prosperity

DEVELOPMENT OF STATES PORT
 AN ECONOMIC OBLIGATION

In the development of her seaport lies Ala bama's opportunity to enter upon her period of fullest industrial and commercial expan- sion. To develop the seaport, equip 1t to handle great and growing commerce, and to complete the linking of Alabamas products with the worlds markets, form the states high est duty to it's citizens and constitute an eco- ! homie obligation that cannot be denied.
 & Alabama's waterways and Alabamas port r have exerted influence upon transportation rates that has enatled the great steel mills to compete in distant markets with other mills rates. The same holds true with regard to Alabama's coal and Alabama's coke. Recently 4 favorable rates on Alabama farm products . have been published from producing centers to- Mobile. In constantly increasing tonnage will cotton and grain and live stock come 2. down to Alabama's own seabord, thence to be shipped far and wide over the sea.
 The complete success of the industrial de- aavelopment expected in connection with the operation of the plants and power at Muscle Shoals depends upon the facility with which the products there turned out may be sent down to the sea. All those who arc desirous of seeing Muscle Shoals come into the promi- hence and activity it deserves are also bound to support the Alabama seaport amendment, for the seaport is the necessary complement of industrial expansion.
 All labor within the state may expect steady employment only as the state's industrial ac- tivity is maintained; and that activity de- bends primarily upon cheapness of transpor- tation to seaboard. The port development will insure it. And as the industries draw upon labor, so will the farmer find an increased demand for his food products; so will the merchant, large and small, his trade in- crease. Business will develop, the cost of liv- ing will decrease and prosperity will reign. ss Not least important of all is the fact that this undertaking does not contemplate any tax upon the people of this state. The facilities will be self-supporting. The state has supreme authority to fix rates and port charges. The funds will be administered under the author ssny of the legislature by the state harbor s.c6mmission. Every bit of construction will receive legislative approval before it may be undertaken. Never did commonwealth have sA more inviting opportunity to vote itself wealth and prosperity. Vote for the seaport Amendment!
