WORSE THAN CROP PESTS

Few states are so potentially wealthy as Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas. They are all highly favored with great varieties of resources. az ricultural, industrial and natural. They offer inviting fields for capital and development. With nearly every. thing in their favor, there would seem to be no reason why they should not soon double their populations, their productive power and their wealth. One thing has long been a serious handicap to the progress of each of these states. Recently it has been acutely manifested; it is mob violence. The number of lynchings, floggings or other exhibitions of lawlessness of late have been fragrant. Troops have been called out, martial law declared, and determined steps have been taken by the executive authorities to put down lawless conditions. The situation is recognized as serious by the law respecting and law-abiding citizens of those states, who find themselves bear ing the bAunt of the burden.
 Frequently complaints have come from those three states of droughts. excessive rains, crop pests, ct cetera. If their authorities, firmly supported by the law-abiding clements, would once realize that these frequent out bursts of the mob spirit, these demor- alizing manifestation of law-defiance and law-evasion, are doing the entire states more harm now and in future than are the combined effects of droughts, floods and crop pests, thes

MORE INTELLIGENCE NEEDED

Another shake-up among the Ala- bama prohibition enforcement officers is scheduled for September 1. Fed eral Prohibition Director Read is re- ported as stating that to gain and keep the public confidence prohibition of ficers should be men of intelligence with at least high school education, so that they can make to the prescott. ing attorney clear and accurate re- ports, and they should be able to tes- tify concisely and intelligently before juries. All of which is true. Prohi. bition enforcement officers have to deal with smart, r'esourceful and un- scrupulous violators of the law. Un- less they are intelligent, they have little chance to perform their duties successfully either in apprehending or in copvicting offenders. Director Read is also quoted as saying that the law enforcement agents in Alabama are doing efficient work, and in propor- tion to the number employed are ac. quitting themselves as we'll or better than those of any other state force. He added that the prohibition laws are enforced in Alabama better than in the average state, while the state law en- forcement department has given full cooperation to the federal depart ment.
 It is hard job at best, because many citizens who are law-abiding in other respects personally do not ap- prove of the prohibition laws. Whil. prohibition is not enforced in Ala bama as we'll as it might be, and while violations occur in all parts of the state, the situation is improving and the outlook is encouraging. With men of intelligence, character and courage on the job, there is reason to hope for as good enforcement of prohibition as other laws. Director Read deserves the support of law-abiding citizens generally in his efforts.

FIRST AVENUE PAVING

Although the agreement between the city commission and the street railway company is approved in that it provides for the emergence of the utility from its receivership, yet there are some provisions therein which do not find uniform public acceptance. Chief among these is the clause pro- viding for the parking instead of pay ing of First avenue through Woodlawn. This provision is declared an impo- sition upol- the travelling public, and upon the residents of one of the city's most travelled highways. The record of the utility with respect to street paving has not of recent years been such as to receive approval. With the valuable considerations the utility re- ceives through the deminution of com petition it would be many times com pensated for all tine paving expendi- lures the public necessity calls upon it to make.
 The residents of Woodlawn have pressed their cause we'll and valiantly. They deserve general public support in their effort to keep an important street open to the constantly increas- ing volume of traffic traversing it. In question of this kind the utility

CoETHALs ON CoMMIssIoNs

No less practical doer of things than General George w. Goethals re- gently declared that commissions are worthless in the management of af- fairs. He based his theory on his work at the Panama canal and other personal experiences in administration. His idea is that commissions should be abolished, and that their duties should be turned over to executive depart ments or to responsible individuals who know what they are doing and are willing to do it efficiently.
 Whether or not one be disposed to go as far as General Goethals in this view, 1t becomes more apparent that many commissions of governmental state or municipal appointment, and especially those carrying large mem bershlps, accomplish little or nothing besides compiling voluminous reports. staying on the payrolls or maintaining their connection with expense ac- counts. Even in cases where com missions are non-salaried, their ac- tivities and influences are often di- rectly or indirectly exercised towards benefits for themselves or their friends. The system quite frequently drifts dangerously near to what ha s come to be known as 'invisible gov ernment," If not to graft. A contem- porary we'll says in this connection: "One of the hardest jobs is to make up the human mind and establish a sense of direction. In both functions con- missions are lamentably deficient. Views differ at times, but timidty rules in general. Jealousy often inter- venes. The man who could handle the situation may develop in a board, but he finds himself unable to handle his fellow members. It is usually much more difficult to reach an agree ment than to solve problem"
 How true! It might be applied to the Alabama legislature which is un- dertaking to enact laws whereby large commissions seriously handicapped by the influence of political subdivisions, would try to administer millions of dollars of public. funds to build high ways and establish state port. Un- der such proposal these commissions would find it hard to reach agree ments, discussions would be well-nigh unlimited, precious time would be wasted, and the people of Alabama in the end would have to compromise on still more politics and deem themselves lucky for every advance in the admin istration of public affairs.

HOUSE SHOWS VISION

By amending the port enabling act so as to provide for an efficient com mission of five men to administer this important undertaking, the Alabama house has won the favor and approval of the people of this state. The large commission was a political device for the distribution of political favors. The small board gives promise of business like handling of the seaport devel- opment with an eye single to it's sue cess.
 This is the most constructive leg islative opportunity that any Alabama legislature has had in recent years. Proper development of the seaport means the rapid ard unlimited pros perity and growth of all the productive resources of this state. The house has done exceedingly we'll. There is hope and lively expectation that the senate will give its unstinted approbation to this amendment providing for the small harbor board.
 There is no better policy for the legislators to follow in this matter than the example set by those who have already successfully demonstrat- ed how a great port shall be built. There are several such examples. That of New Orleans is nearest and best known to us. The lolicy of Louisiana has been to select men of the broadess calibre and highest integrity, remove all hindrance to efficient administra- tion of their functions, and bid them build and operate seaport. The re- suit at New Orleans is triumphant and irrefutable proof of the wisdom of this course. Alabama's legislature is not so foolish as to close it's eyes to this successful plan and program.

THE HEALTH REGIME

The warm support given by leading dairymen to the system of milk 1n- snection maintained by the local health department is eloquent testimony to the progress the dairymen have made towards perceiving that, in the long run. what is best for the public is also hest for them. There has been 2 great deal of criticism, much of 1t founded on misapprehension, about the manner in which public health Is administered, but results show the es- sential merit of the way in which health affairs locally have been run. It is true that more remains to De done, and that perhaps more could have been done within the past few years. The fundamental fact is that progress has been and is being made.
 The success of any public office depends not so much on the manner in which it is constituted as upon the caliber of the men chosen to fill it. Any controversy between the health authorities and the governing bodies of city and county is not founded on good judgment. There should be the fullest possible cooperation between the political bodies and the health au- thorities. In both Birmingham and Jefferson county it is believed that there has, in the main, been such CO., operation in spite of the frequent out ward appearance of differences. h. stead of airing unimportant differ ences publicly, the health authorities and the governing bodies should work out their divisions of opinion in such a manner as to contribute materially to the public ends aimed at. No re- lief may be expected from further segregation of authority, because that is more than apt to cause renewed conflict. Whatever the merit of the desire for more decided separation, the health regime should remember that it is not a body responsible to the people, as is the board of revenue, nor is it constituted or appointed by those directly responsible to the people, as is the school board of Birmingham. There is a method or working out q harmonious relationship on the present legal basis, and that is really the proper course to follow.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS By Frederick Houk Law
William smelIie

WHAlam Smellle
 A boy who had just completed his studies in the schools of Edin- burgh, in Scotland, found work in a printers office. He had shown keen intelligence in the school, had easily mastered his studies, and had developed high ambitions. He would very much have liked to- go on to the University of Edinburgh and there continue his studies. This he was not able to do. Stern necessity sent him to work-and the work that he had to perform was almost wholly muscle work and not brain work. For time it seemed to William Smellie, fresh from the Edinburgh grammar school, that he had been turned away from all good fortune.
 William Smellie, however, was made of that stuff that does not acknowledge misfortune. He came of good Scotch origin, and he had inherited the strong characteristics of his race. He found time to carry on his work for the printer and also to read and to study. The work of a printer in those days was far different from the work of a printer in the present times. The great modern presses had not been invented; all the processes of printing involved long and tedious hand work. All type was set by hand, and even the presses. were run by hand. William SAellie, printers devil, had to make very active use of his strong young muscles and to work hard. There was one great difference between him and his fellow workmen. When the long hours in the shop were over the others vents to rest or amusement. William Smellie went to lectures in the University of Edinburgh and continued his studies. Beause of his energy he made himself a highly educated man.
 By the time he was twenty five he set up printing business of his own. In this he prospered ex- ceedingly, because he did excellent work and had the education that enabled him to do work of a su- perior kind. Because of this abil- ity he was able to print the great Encyclopaedia Britannica when 1t appeared for the first time. He was then about thirty years of age. He devoted himself day and night to work on the sheets of the new encyclopaedia and did much to make 1t an unusually we'll printed book. As he grew older he amused himself bV writing va rious books, in which he made nse of his learning, as well as of his experience in life. His energy, however, led to his death at fifty five.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
Mother of Rutherford B. Hayes


 In 1922, in Ohio, the news sud- denly flashed about the town of Delaware that Rutherford Hayes, farmer who had moved from Vermont, had died, leaving a wife and a child. This was in July. In October another child was born, and the mother named it for the dead father, Rutherford" To that newborn son she also gave her own family name, Richard" thus uniting in the living the names of the couple who had been parted so suddenly.
 Nine years before that time she had been a girl living in her home in the Vermont hills. In that same village there had lived Rutherford Hayes, the son of a farmer. For a while the bride and groom lived in Vermont, hating all thought of separating from the associations of childhood. Then there came the call for adventures in ''the West" that being what Ohio was then called. It was a long jour- ney then, for there were no trains to carry one quickly and com Ont lle0 u U Gl Dy wagon all the long way-and long enough it was.
 Sophia Birchard Hayes had been a Vermont girl, and she believed that it pays to gain an education. Her husband and she had been thrifty in their nine years of mar ried life and had saved small sum of money. She sent her son to a good school and then to col lege. She impressed upon him all her New England ideals and made him so conscientious that he studied long and hard and won distinction in his college course as the leader of his class. She worried over him while he fought in the Civil War and won his way to the position of major general; she saw him elected to congress; i; she did not live to see him gov ernor and then president-but she had given him the education and the character that made him great.

oUR FOREIGN RELATIoNs

In his address at Biloxi Senator Underwood made another plea for a definite foreign policy based on and growing out of the purposes and rec ords of American soldiers who fought and died in Europe for a principle. That principle has been largely ignor d under the influences of political ex- pediency dominating the American government, just as though a great war and the motives actuating a na- tion in it's participation were not far bigger and higher than any political movement or purpose by any party. Asserting that America would have fought in vain unless she now aids Europe in settling her difficulties, and declaring that in France great admi- ration is everywhere expressed for American soldiers, while one never hears word of praise for the Ameri- can government, the speaker empha- sized the uselessness of Americas par ticipation in the World War unless NtAAS AuOAlShCOuo aSG dCCoulp1lSHeS LHS purpose in the minds and hearts of those who did the fighting and bore the brunt of the struggle.
 Senator Underwood is not the char acter of public man to evade issues. In his conscientious view a solemn duty rests upon the American govern nnapf fo 4aLa s,,cb ao4;o., s- H. 4 clement of European affairs as will not only redeem America's pledges to her allies, but to her own flesh and blood. This can be accomplished only by definite policy of cooperation with the allies in stabilizing Europe to such extent as to enable the nations to get on their feet. That in effect is what America intended when she en- tered the World War, which was fought in the interests of permanent peace and general justice, not for fur ther international conflict and oppres- sion.
 Americas present foreign policy. or rather absence of any definite pol icy, not only will fail to establish in- dustrial and political peace in Europe, but it already operates to increase the danger of wars abroad which will in- volve the material interests of America to such an extent as to make it ex- ceedingly difficult for her to stand aloof In her present isolation. Even now Europe's condition is bringing heavy material losses to American in- terests, agricultural, industrial and commercial. The situation is increas- ingly burdensome. Demands for re- lief are already heard on all sides at home. There is one remedy-a defi- mite recognition of America's interna- tional responsibilities commensurate with the international recognition and benefits for which Americans hope.

THE NIGHT.FLYING TEST

The airplane test made Tuesday and Wednesday by the postoffice depart ment in the effort to furnish an ocean to-ocean service in twenty-eight hours was successful in every particular ex- cept one. At Laramie one night flying plane was unable to make it's schedule because of the thick fog which obscured the beacon marking the way to the next objective. Inas- much as safety is one of the funda- mental requirements of this service, the pilot took no chances of being able to reach his destination by compass, and so descended. In the near future the difficulties attendant on night flying will be overcome one by one, until probably not even fog will be an obstacle to prevent observance of schedules. The test was made under actual conditions of the service and mail was carried in both directions across the continent within the speci- fled time. This is an achievement of which the people of this country should be very proud. Even though airplane development has not been adequately supported by the congress slonal appropriations, the postoffice department has been able to show re- suits that mark an advance within the last two years greater than was made in the preceding ten years. And yet the technicians believe that we are only at the threshold of this new fly ing epoch. ...,....

occupies a very weak position. In re- turn for Its enjoyment of the public franchise the utility is bound to pave where paving is legitimately demanded by the public convenience. Parking of wide avenues in residence sections may be defended, But the parking of congested streets is quite another matter. The people of Woodlawn are evidently determined and prepared to carry their case as far as necessary to obtain the equity they properly de- mand.
