ago England the chief exporter of
capital not only held the great bulk
of Canada's debts outside of the
Dominion but had an investment of
nearly equal size in own coun-
try. Now the prospect arises that
American lending may come to
equal or even exceed British lend
ing to III northern neighbor. That
prospect, considered in itself, offers
marked advantage to all the three
parties concerned in it.
Canada will no doubt find It nee
essary to GO on borrowing in order
to hit her best rate of growth. The
bigger and stronger the Dominion
becomes upon the temporary aid of
American money the sooner will she
feel secure against the sometimes
dreaded ingress Of her powerful
southern neighbor's influence. The
British will draw greater profit
from q Dominion increased by the
financial help Of a third party than
from one asking the financial slim
illus to increase. The United
States will gain by helping build up
a ~populous and prosperous customer
country on it's own northern border.

Outlaws Wiped Out

A BAD CALCULATION

It's a wise political party that
knows its own mandate.
1--WE Republicans said ex-Gov-
a Allen of Kansas, in his mem
orial Day address at Paris, "all
thsaGht that the 100000 major
tty that Harding got meant the
definite No of the American peo-
pie on participation in "interna-
tional affair" But he added that
1t now begins to look as IL 1--WE
might have made bad calculations"
with engaging franhness Cover
nor Allen admits that the Republi-
can majority of 1920 was due to
man causes besides hostility to the
League of Nations. This change
Of interpretation is a trifle belated
officially, although the Tribune
has recognized this T now. At all
events, the process Of conversion
has been rapid during the past few
months, SO that today there are
comparatively few Republicans to
charge President Harding with dis
regarding the mandate Of three
years ago when he urges, as he did
in his speech at Arlington or Wed
nesday the entering Of America
into that world relationship
which we cannot avoid il we would.
The great and solemn referendum
of 1920 was a joke, as we have said
America to be tired Of a Demo
cratic, warborn, administration.
Governor Allen is heartily in
favor of our joining the world
court. He is not intimidated by
the argument that it may lead us
to something else His reply is that
we can try the thing on, and il we
find 1t taking US where we don't
want TO go, we can retrace our
steps. That seems a common
sense view apt to commend itself
to the citizens.

HI POINT OF E

A strike has been called by the
United Mine Workers against the
Coal River collieries at Huntington.
". Va, because two union men
have been discharged without rea-
son being given. That in itself is
a commonplace relation of employ
ers and union labor. But it happens
in this case that the mines are
owned by a stock company headed
by the officers Of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers. Warren
s. Stone is president of the board.
That makes the situation notable.
The Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers is financially perhaps the
most advanced of any union in the
country. It owns or controls and op-
crates several successful banks. 1t
has proved itself highly capable in
a business way. And that has not
in~terfered with its effectiveness as
a labor union working for the bene-
fit Of its members
But now we come to q parting Of
the ways. The Coal River ~collieries
find that responsibility to investors
that it, to cspital-as well Is re-
sponsibility to labor goes with bust
ness management. There is a
change Of viewpoint Read what
Mr.. Some, the business man. says
to the striking miners: "We are
paying the union scale in West Vir-
ginia. We are paying the going
rata in eastern Kentucky. Our men
may organize II they want to, but
we are not going to compel them to
Join n union. Idon't know whether
the men are members of the union
or not"
Does that sound like the president
of n Of the strongest unions in the
United States? It sounds like
an intelligent capitalist. 1t illus
trates most wildly a change Of
viewpoint. 1t also illustrates the
fact that two apparently opposed
positions may be taken by n man.
That is the important part Of the
whole incident.
Industry Of any kind has respon-
sibility to capital, or to investors,
Just as It has to labor. Capital
nowadays recognizes its responsible
ity to labor. Labor is coming to
recognize its responsibility to cap
ital. Neither can prosper without
the other. Those r economic
facts beyond dispute. Tho West
Virginia incident proves that the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engin-
GERS has learned a lesson. 1t is a
hard boiled business finding. Other
unions will learn 1t. That will
brighten the outlook for labor and
capital alike.

GREAT RACE FOR

NEW YORK, Dec. IA match
race or series of races between Epi-
nard. the French champion three
vear-old. and Zev, the American
champion, to be run next summer or
early in the fall, is virtually assured
as the result of conference To-Day
between Pierre Wertheimer, owner of
Epinard, Harry F. Sinclair, owner OF
Zev, and Major August Belmont,
chairman of the Jockey club.
whether the race or series of races
will be run in this country or In
France was not decided, and will not
be, 1t was stated, until American and
French public opinion has been
sounded.
ct found Mr.. Sinclair as DESTROYS
as I for a meeting between our
thoroughbreds," stated the French
man.
Naturally 1 am anxious to have
the race run in France, and there
was an equally natural desire on the
part of Mr.. Sinclair that 1t should be
run in this country, but so delighted
are we at the prospects Of the match
that we decided the public should be
given opportunity to express itself
and If the American demand for the
race proved greater than that of my
countrymen, will ship my horse
here.
II am willing to match Epinard
against Zev at any distance from six
| furlongs to one and one-haf miles.
or to a series of races at those and
the intermediate distances Zev's
owner and trainer have but to name
their choice.
1T expect to confer with Mr.. Bel
mont again before I leave for France,
and something more definite as to
the details of the project may de-
velop then"
1t is thought possible that in the
event a race is arranged In this coun-
| try, the international challenge cup,
won by Zev last fall in his me-
morable match with Papyrus. Eng

CULLMAN AND COFFEE HIGH
TO PLAY TITULAR CONTEST
Central And North Alabama
Championship To Be AT
Stake In Game Here Sat-
urday

Who is who in central and north
Alabama high school circles will be
decided on the football field Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock, when Gull
man county high and Coffee high of
Florence, play on Berry field for
the championship.
The plans for the meeting of the
two teams here were completed Mon
day night by President w. j. Baird Of
the Alabama High School Athletic
association, who made arrangements
with Professor Greenhill of Gull
man, and Superintendent Appleby of
the Florence schools, to stage the
game here.
The game, which will be played
here Saturday, is the final contest of
the play-off tournament in which
four teams, picked by q committee.
competed for the title. Shelby
county high, Tuscumbia, Cullman
county high and Coffee were conceded
the best claims to the central and
conference of the committee appointed
by President Baird to make the de-
cision and last week the first two
games of the tourney were played.
In Florence the Coffee high delega-
ton won victory by narrow mar
gin from the Tuscumbia eleven, while
| on Saturday the Cullman team de-
feated Shelby. In both instances
the games were won by the margin
of one touchdown. Coffee high won
6 to 0, from Tuscumbia, while Gull
man won, to 0, from Shelby.
1t was Schlosser's s5-yard run fol-
a touchdown after picking up G
tumble that gave the Coffee clever
victory and Schlosser got out of the
sick bed to play the game. However
the contest was battled almost or
