SlDESTEPPING THE PROBLEM

The statement of Commissioner Dickson with respect to the garbage problem in Birmingham reveals among other things an official complacency with the present situation that is hard to reconcile with knowledge of that situation. It is quite evident that the responsibilities of municipal govern ment have grown faster than official capacity to deal with them, which is very sad state of affairs indeed. There is no indication that thorough survey has been made of methods and cost of dealing with the problem in an adequate manner, but on the other hand, the evidence is strong that no are in hand. Various sums are vaguely ST roken of as necessary to make the construction necessary to garbage disposal, but these sums may be approximately correct and they may be wide of the mark. Nobody seems to know.
 Meanwhile, there is apparent no plan or intention to give such atten- ton to the present dumps as will re- duce the production of flies to mini mum. The commissioner speaks un- certainly about the necessity for more garbage cans with tight tops and the | like, and stresses the necessity of keeping such tops in place, quite ob- livious of the fact that the city's own methods of handling the cans are in great measure responsible for their battered condition, loss of tops and their inability to fit tightly after hay ing been in use short time. The commissioner has work to do within his own forces before he can properly tell the people what to do. There is also stress laid upon the covering of cans, as if they were the breeding places of flies. It is true that the eggs may be laid in garbage while in cans, but the real incubators are the dumps, which will continue to flour ish and produce, regardless of how the garbage is protected before It reaches the dumps. Garbage cans ought to be covered, but for esthetic and other reasons quite aside from the main reason for protection of the people against the dumps. Pending a permanent solution of the problem, what prevents such a program of reg

NOT A HAPPY START

That the Republicans need presi- dential tour or some other emergency device to rally the voters around the party again is becoming increasingly evident. As the president boarded his train at Washington the papers were carrying reports of Republican victories in Michigan and Iowa by only slight margins, and that too in localities usually overwhelmingly Re- publican. If such is the trend of sen- timent in the party strongholds, what must be the revulsion of sentiment in the doubtful states? The presidents personality is good, and people usually respond to his appeal, but unfortu- nately for him his party has made no record that can help him win votes. It is very much as if they had bored the boat full of holes and then asked the president to sail it. People may hate to see the president go down, but that would be no reason why they should climb into the boat with him. Perhaps, after all, the president was wise in his first decision to discuss the world court, and the party leaders would have been wiser had they fla vored rather than opposed this inten- tion

Dreams of Gold Fish

Gllttering prospects will be dangled before your eyes if you have q dream of gold fish.
 Place no faith in those who, in the near future, will come to you with great promises and allure ments of impending favtrs and bright prospects. For a reason which may not be clear at the time, these people have decided to deceive you, to Hull your con- science to sleep, to gain your con fidence so as to serve their own nefarious means. There is no real gold in the scales of the gold fish, just as little as there will be real opportunities for you in these promises; and the touch of the gold fish is as cold and un- pleasant as the real thoughts which these tempters are having abe ut you.
 If in your dream you seem to place your hand in the bowl as though you were trying to catch one of the gold fish, you will be in actual danger of believing these deceivers with the result that, for a time at least, yCu may fall into their clutches and weeks of amends will have to follow before you have lived down the experi- ence. This vision tells you in gen eral to be scrupulous, not to be- lieve the words of flatterers, and to praise your own worth rather than permit others to do so.

PEOPLES FORUM
A Moral Question

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In your able editorial of the 18th instant, re leasing convicts, you say the leasing of convicts is moral question. Let us con- cede it. Those most conversant with the question of handling convicts say: likeness of all things is most dangerous to the convict. So, we should keep them at work, and the question is at what. As county commissioner, we have the question up of work ing them on public roads, but when you consider that while working on the roads they are exposed to heat, cold, rain, i'm proper housing. no suitable food and practically no adequate means of bathing, even if you eliminate the financial end of the question and consider the good of the con- Vict, you will eliminate this means of working convicts Why is man a convict and why does the state confine him? The law has been violated and the convict is confined not to reform him.
  lence to the rights of others.
 The writer is over threescore is devoting time, thought and a small bit of money to building of rural consolidated schools and of hard surfaced roads primarily to get children in motor trucks to such schools. The children are the hope of the state and the convicts the despair of the state. Then why take the money from the children and use it for the benefit of the convicts?
 In the mines the convict by diligence each day can do his task and be paid for his overplus, is always under state supervision, has good food. clothes, baths, and statistics show coal mining is not more dangerous or unhealthy than other avocations. You lack it all of convincing me you are acting in this matter either for the good of the state or for the convict.

The Mother of Simon Bolivar

If it had not been for the sac rifice made by mother-love, the history of South American might have been a very different story. Simon Bolivar is to South-Amer- ica all that George Washington is to the United States-the founder of free government, the man who fought for independence. His statue stands in many a South American city; Bolivia is named after him; and his name will live enshrined in honor as long as the history of South America is told.
 Bolivar's mother was woman of high rank and one who was very proud of her descent. Her maiden name was Maria Concep- cion Palacios y Sojo. She mar ried man who was equally proud and equally of good de- scent. Therefore, one dsN wlpen her son Simon, who was to become the bringer of liberty to a great continent. was still only a boy, scarcely more Slan a child, she went to the father and said: Juan, what about Simon? See now DIE ne HdS DeCOIle. oee Wiidt a man he is already. though only a child. Is he to grow up among these Indians! Is our boy to as- sociate with these common people around us! Surely not! Never. He must go among his equals!"
 And where is that except here at home?" The father drew him. self up proudly. Tt is in Spain" cried the mother. Let us send him to Spain, that he may learn manhood, and culture. and proper speech" Send Simon away. across the ocean!" faltered the fa- ther.
 Yes" flashed back Maria Con- cepcion Palacios y Solo. Make him a man."
 So 1t came about that mother love and mother pride sent Simon Bolivar to old Spain. and off on his travels. He learned the les sons of free government. came home, and set all South America free. His mother did indeed make Simon Bolivar into man!

CHAMBER STARTS NEW YEAR

The Chamber of Commerce, after a good year under J. D. Moore, pion- eer wholesale merchant, starts a new year under the presidency of R. I. Ingalls,, one of the most successful of the latter-day manufacturers of the district. MT. Ingalls, established a small structural steel plant that has grown by leaps and bounds, the pro- duct going all over the South and to foreign parts, sugar houses in Cuba being one of it's products. MT. Ingalls, is in his full vigor, is essentially pro- gressive and has shown marked inter- est in civic affairs. The chamber has made some constitutional changes rendering it democratic in it's govern ing personnel and direction and has accomplished much good in' quiet manner in organizing different branches of business and community endeavor, result of which has been the superior ability of these associated interests to accomplish promptly and with feasibility that which has been beneficial to all. The traffic associa- ton division of the chamber is it's principal claim on the community. That is Birmingham watchman over freight rates which has accomplished a splendid work in the past few years in removing discriminations and se- curing inbound and outbound rates tending to widen the market territory of Birmingham jobbers and manu- lecturers. The association is contin- uously active in preventing rate raises and preserving what has >beem-won. The chamber and the traffic associa- tion, it's chief auxiliary, are doing good work for Birmingham.

CARRIERS AND CROSSINGS

The city commission has been pa- tient with the railroads in the matter of grade crossing elimination. There posed of all the impeding details in volved in the construction of the sub way at Twentieth, Eighteenth and Fourteenth streets. The city has been met half way by most of the railroad managers and some have shown thor ough sympathy with the city's program and acted promptly in arriving at completion of plans. It is understood be said to be ready for adoption of the ordinance calling for construction of the subways and for beginning the work. That carrier has acted with a slowness amounting to dilatoriness and, whatsoever be it's intention as to cooperation, it has not manifested the same willingness to smooth out the problem and prepare to get under way as the others.
 This carrier is on notice that the city of Birmingham is in earnest about the grade-crossing matter and that it is not going to brook much further delay. Railroad officials can act quickly when they wish to do so. They have never been slow in doing that which was to their own advant- age. It is just as easy to be alert and efficient in those matters where tha public interest is -'---~ u..t. The city does not seek strong arm meas ures, preferring that the grade cross irg evil be eliminated by cordial and cooperative association with the rail roads in the mutual undertaking. However, the city has the right to re- mcval of the grade crossings and thef law stands back of whatsoever effort it makes toward that end in case car riers are inclined to uncall ed-for post ponement The carriers that have shown the proper spirit will benefit from it in the public esteem, and any carrier that may still be inclined to delaying tactics is working to its own harm

WALL STREET TREMsLEs

l The ghosts of those leaders who lived in the days when Wall Street ruled the country, or was alleged to do so, are doubtless lowering anX- iously over that panic-stricken thor oughfare, trying to put through a message of supernal counsel. Assur- edly such counsel is needed, for old and established firms are being shaken and the upstarts are being forced to Wall Streets wall. Only a few days ago the president of the stock eX- change assured the people that rumors of impending crashes were without foundation, but the more recent event has disproved his words. The mar ket has broken badly, and even many firms that pull through will not es- cape heavy losses.
 The trouble all started over reve- lations of unsound dealings of certain curb firms, but the subsequent fall ing-off in confidence spread until it invaded the legitimate exchange it. self. The fault is with the exchange, because of it's failure to make it's boasted cleanup of interruptions op- erations genuine and thorough. Ap- parently the only cleanup in which the Street is gifted is the cleanup that takes the peoples money. Legit- innate firms in Wall Street have tol- erated fakirs and their operations un- til the suspicion has invaded the in nermost precincts of the temple it. self, and the result is chaos.
 Strangely enough, the people and business of this country stand aloof and view this disorder and panic with dispassionate eye. The time has gone by when Wall Street can cause panics to spread over the country in order that it might profit by the con- sequent reduction in the price of se- curities. Regular psychology has un- dergone a change. People no longer believe that Wall Street can harm the financial condition of this country, and therefore Wall Street cannot do so. The public knows that the value of it's securities depends upon the soundness of the enterprises on which they are a lien, and that their intrin- sic worth is in no way affected by the fluctuations on the exchange brought about by manipulation and trading.
 Nobody knows what will be the out come of the present furry, and mo- body cares greatly, which is the most serious blow ever struck at the pres tige of Wall Street. Of course, the furry is not among the bankers and real financiers, but among those who deal in stocks and bonds and margins, who batten on the credulity or mis- haps of others. Their operations have not been constructive but parasitic, and it is hard to contemplate their distress with a great display of pop ular emotion.

THE POWER IS ALABAMA's

It was not unexpected that certain
 journalistic apologists for the Ala
 bama Power Company would seek to dSparage the intentions and efforts of those who have sought stay in permission to lease new water-power sites in Alabama until some policy and legislative regulation of this great re- source shall have been formulated. It is not probable, however, that think ing people will allow their minds to be diverted from the main question of so administering this great asset as to result in the greatest good to Alabama, the state to which it belongs and which has first claim upon it. It is not the desire or purpose, as has been alleged, to prohibit the ex- port of power from this state, nor to interfere with such export in any un- just or punitive fashion. The people of Alabama, however, are not so naive nor so gullible as to believe that the state should forego all right to regu- late this export in such a manner as to protect the legitimate claims of Alabama industry to regular, depend able and uninterrupted service by the companies developing water power On the contrary, the people of this state demand such regulation and are unalterably opposed to monopoly of this resource.
 The people are not unmindful of the fact that the Alabama Power Com pany advertises it's purpose of export ing power far and wide, to which there is no objection if Alabama is not thereby deprived of needed current. The people have not forgotten the Alabama Power Companys active an- tagonism to the acceptance of the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals, pro- ject to which the great majority of the people of this state, a. we'll as of other states, are irrevocably commit ted. The people are not misled by statements as to Ford's intention to export power from Muscle Shoals, for they have his personal assurance that his primary purpose is to provide power for nearby industries which he expects to develop and stimulate in the Muscle Shoals district. Indeed, he has remarked that he does not be- lieve in the transmission of power over long distances. There is moro reason to believe that much of this power will be utilized in Alabama than to believe the contrary.
 It has not been urged that the limit of development for the Alabama Power Company has, been reached. Within it's proper field and in harmony with the public welfare, there is no doubt that that com pany has yet an abundant op- portunity for expansion. It has many undeveloped sites in this state. But there is stern resistance to it's acquisition of any key positions that will initiate against the Muscle Shoals project or will allow it to mo- nopolize this field in such manner as to serve it's private ambition at the expense of any general plan or pur- pose.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS
John Greenleaf Whittier
By Frederick Houk Law

On a Massachusetts farm in the first part of the nineteenth cen- tury there lived tall, thin boy who helped his father in carrying on the farm work. In those days modern farm implements and equipment were unknown. It was hard work, and it exhausted the slender boy, but he was quiet and faithful. said nothing in the way of complaint. and did his best to help his Quake CT father. His eyes were bright and dark and spoke intelligence. At the little district school to which he went in the winter time when farm work did not call for him, the teacher found young John Whittier good stu dent and a conscientious worker. The teacher liked the boy. and asked him if he wouldn't like to read a book of poems. Young Whittier eagerly consented, and took home the books-poems written by another farm boy like himself, Robert Burns. How those poems appealed to fifteen-year- old Whittier. In them he found the mirrored picture of a man who had lived like himself, who knew horses and sheep and country peo- pie; who knew them and loved them, and who wrote songs and poem stories about. them.
 Why could he not do the same thing in his Massachusetts home? It was an inspiration and he set about the work. From day to day he read to his sister, who was older than he, the poems that he had made. She, with sisterly love. found them beautiful because they were true, and one day she persuaded him to send a poem to weekly paper that was published near by. The editor. William Lloyd Garrison, hunted up the boy-poet and' urged him to go to school. The lad went, but he had to work hard to earn the money to pay for his board and tuition. From school young Whittier went up to Boston to work on newspa- pers. and little later to work as an editor in Hartford. Conn. His strength was not sufficient for exacting indoor work and he went back to the old farm hills, where he remained until he died at eighty-five.
 Whittier's interest in public af- fairs was very great. He wrote so vigorously against slavery that he is called The Poet of Free dom." He was a member of the legislature of Massachusetts for time and was always active in doing good. Most of all. he wrote so tenderly of the country that he became "The American Burns" His poems such as Barbara Frietchie" and Snow Bound" are household poems. Whittier was always the farmer and the Qua ker, devoted to country life and to righteous causes.
