strated success. The hostility of pre- judiced capitalist countries is cited as an obstacle to the acceptance of their idea. Therefore, they strive to spread the doctrine in other countries, by means of secret emissaries, preaching denationalism and the coming of a new worldwide Utopia. Recognizing that this means the destruction of what has taken centuries to build up, following upon other centuries of hu- man disorder and misery, the class chiefly concerned in the maintenance of the stability of society is preparing to organize for its own. protection as against revival of the barbarous in vasions that plunged Europe into darkness in the first millennial of the Christian era. We welcome this movement as seriously meant and as promising to be an effectual barrier against such calamity.

AS TO THE STREET RAILWAY

It now appears that one of the de velopments of the series of secret conferences between the city commis- sion and representatives of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power Company will be the rescue of the concern from it's present receivership. That will be a gratifying happening for there is no doubt that a receiver ship hampers proper service. There has apparently been a deal of trad ing going on, and there is some fear lest the commission has traded where it has had the right and authority to demand or compel. It is difftult to understand why proper service and the fulfillment of the uti,ity's obliga- tions could be subject of barter, particularly when there is behind the ownership of the utility a great amount of capital that has not been devoted to restoring the utility to its proper plane of public service.
 It is stated that the outcome of the negotiations is contingent upon the attitude of the people as revealed by contemplated referendum. That, however, is matter difficult to as- certain, for the mind of the people varies directly in accordance with the quality of public service they enjoy. The real test of utility's hold upon the people lies in the amount of pat ronage the people give the utility. If the service meets the public de- mand the people will patronize it. If it does not meet the public demand the people will find other means of being served. There is no utility, however, which by rendering eff ciently necessary public service will not come to enjoy profitable pat ronage.
 Until the details of the agreement are made public, the people of course are unable to form any proper opin- ion of the program. There is heard on every hand, however, the expressed hope that in every item and detail the welfare of the public is carefully weighed. It is admitted by everybody that the street-railway service is in dispensable; but it is also apparent that the management of the company has a long way to travel to rehabili- tate itself completely in the public confidence. It cannot do that by mak-
 
 of affairs. There is a way of devel- oping more cordial attitude on the part of the public, but it cannot be through pledges and promises. It must be through the constant, contin- uous and consistent delivery of an acceptable public service through the years to come.

of Nations without being bound by it's covenants" The Nashville Banner notes with approval that the presi- dent is developing and says; "It is his latest essay in the establishment of our relationship with international affairs that is proving his ability and courage to deal with tremend- ous situation" The Dallas News thinks that what the president asks "would be an exceedingly small and inconsequential thing to do." The News is not inclined to believe that the court would involve us in league membership against our will. In ap- proving vein the Atlanta Constitution speaks of the presidents speech and declares: "The American people to- day think more of Harding. They admire a firm leader and one whose conviction is not trimmed to political expediency."
 And so the comment of the South ern press in general runs. The Dem ocratic opinion is that the court plan is a good plan, that it probably will make the next step toward league membership easier to take, and that the president in breaking with his party on this question has in admira- ble manner placed the national wei fare above political preference.

DECENCY AT TRIALS

Decision of Solicitor Davis to ex- clude all save officials, relatives of the victims and newspaper represent atives from the trials of two men charged with committing criminal as- saults, is not only in conformity with the states criminal code, but in line with wholesome public policy and common decency. Virginia was one of the first states to enact statute whereby women so attacked are pro tected from the gaze of the idle cu- rious. Many other states have done likewise. For women who have sui fered from such an offense to have to be present and testify in court is a trying ordeal in any event. Far more so when forced to face crowds seeking sensationalism. Such protec- tion of the courts is wise and proper so far as it goes. We'll may it be supplemented by enforced nodifica- tion from the bench of irrelevant questions that bring useless additional hardship on the women themselves, and by suppression of details and ln- situations from over-enterprising de- fendant counsel.

BETTER STREET LIGHTING

The citizens of Birmingham are gratified at the prospect of better street lighting for this city. Accord ing to announcement a new contract is made with the company whereby seven hundred new lights will be in stalled. It is understood that these lights are of greater brilliance than those they will displace, and that they will consume less current and there fore operate at less cost. The need for better street lighting here has long been felt and called to public atten- tion. Dim lights not only serve to defeat their own purpose, but also contribute to lawlessness through fail ure to illuminate the dark corners and lurking places of thugs and hold ups. Proper lighting of city is the most effective and least expensive of it's police adjuncts. It is hoped that various dark areas within a stones throw of the heart of the city will now melt away under the radiance of arc and other lights graduated in ac- cordance with the need Seven hun dred lights, however, are not many for city the size of Birmingham, and un- doubtedly in the long run much fur ther economy would result from the replacing still more of the dim, cur rent-consuming lights of the old type with the more efficient types now coming into general use in many cities.

GOLDEN RULE BASIS FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS7

guiescence rather than cheerful compliance. Then will grow up inevitably among the small but ambitious nations of the world an idea that the league is a su- per-goyernment rather than an | association of peoples in which personal interests have nothing to do with the determination of questions at hand.
 I am led to make these obser- vations, not because I have even slightest criticism of anything l that Lord Cecil said in his ad- dresses, but by reason of his an- swers to certain inquiries put to | him.
 He stated, for instance, that he voted in the British parliament against a proposal to submit the Ruhr question to the league for settlement, although he believed that the question was one that should be submitted to the league. His reason for his vote in oppo- sition to his opinion was. he eX- plained. that the question as it
 arose in the parliament was pure i ly political. I hope I am mista- ken, but to me this attitude of
 mind implies danger to the league. If a legislator is to vote against his own convictions on purely po- litical grounds, manifestly his ac- tion will weaken the influence of the league. I have been an on- locker in politics so long and have seen so many men vote against l. roft cause of political expediency that I would be the last man in the world to utter a single word of criticism against any man who finds 1t necessary so to vote. but the criticism I voice, if it is to be construed as criticism at all, is not personal to any man. l merely call attention to the atti- tude of the politicians and the leaders of public thought in their
 relations toward the league. If question is not to be submitted to the league when it has a bear ing upon politics, particularly
 when it has bearing upon the politics of one or more of the dominant countries in the league. I fear. though again I hope I am ] mistaken, there will grow up sentiment that the league is sim ply parent government to keep unruly children nations within proper bounds.
 Lord Robert found country
 which in language and law claims to be Anglo Saxon. but which in blood and racial tendencies is no such thing. He doubtless ob- served, wise man that he is, that America is made up of many men of many minds, and if he fell in with any opponents of the league he probably learned that a large part of our population desires the doctrine of lf-determination to be imposed along racial rather than geographical lines. We have different kinds of blood in Amer | ica, and with not few of our l people blood prejudices are more l pronounced than their peaceful tendencies. When asked whether the leagues attitude toward moral disarmament would end Britain's J imperialistic policy in Egypt, h.

PEOPLES FORUM
More on Chiropractic

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l note in The Age Herald, April 17, that Dr. Walter s. Britt. presI- dent of the Alabama State Medical Association, has "vehemently" de- nied that the Alabama health board is political machine. I do not understand just how Dr. Britt could consistently make such statements. He is evidently blind to the facts. or has been blinded to them by his school. He must not have been with the medical doctors called to Montgomery at the last session of the legislature by Health Officer s. w. Welsh for the one and only purpose of killing the chiropractic bill in troduced at that session. I am told that these doctors were packed and damned in the Iegis- lative halls when the bill was voted down. To say that they gave the legislature the rush act would be putting it mildly. They literally stampeded to Montgom- cry.
 Every man and woman in the
 
 any thought knows and feels that the Alabama state health board is politico- edical machine. It is a self-perpetuatinG organiza- tion. They may well fight chi ropractic, for it is well known that the people of the United States are now gladly paying the chiropractors over sixty million dollars a year for services that the 'conservative" medical doctor cannot give them. The most of the medical men have been con- servative and cautious so long that a great many people have lost all patience with them, and are seeking relief elsewhere. Now, the medical doctor. with a few exceptions, is trying to ex- terminate chiropractic-n science that has already been proven to be of great value to humanity. This is not only the chiropractor's fight for freedom, it is also the patients fight. For in killing chiropractic, the medical doctor is people of this state to keep up with advancement in choosing a treatment. l am wondering just how long the voters and tax pay CTS of this state will stand for such domination. Dr. Britt will have to do more than deny that the Alabama state health board Is political body-he will have to prove that 1t Is not. and ] would like to see him do that.
