shore of complete realization of public opinion. The vast majority of Ameri- cans are utterly opposed to any lower ing of the bars to immigration because they do not wish a loophole for the entrance of any of the unfit any more.
 So far as abolition of the twelve hour day is concerned, it need not wait on additional supply of labor. It's complete abolition cannot under any circumstances be expected to mater rialize in one day. CT in all depart ments of the steel industry at the same time A beginning can be made in the departments where elimination of the twelve-hour day will cause least change of plans and least upsetting of existing conditions and the work can be gradually extended. Public opinion won a great victory in caus- ing the steel industry to realize and announce acceptance of the principle involved in the eight-hour day. The public is willing to have it installed with a graded orderliness, but it is not willing for it to be based on ill-advised importations of foreign labor.

WILLIAM R. DAY

Retirement on May 15 of former Associate Justice William R. Day from the chairmanship of the mixed claims commission was but the prelude to his mortal illness and death. Judge Day gave as his reason for retirement his failing health and the conviction that some younger and more active man should assume the burden. How well he had gauged his own powers of service is indicated by the fact that he remained resolutely and actively on the firing line until aImostthis final dissolution. The nation can ask nor expect of no rnan~rnore than that. As jurist he revealed eminent qualifica- tions and delivered the opinion in many of the most important cases. His fairness of judgment made him a ready choice for the heavy duty of settling German and American claims growing out of the war and the com fiscation of property. His name is added to the roster of Americas illus trious men.

MIR. BOK'S PEACE PRIZE

Criticism of MT. Edward Bok's pos sible purpose in offering a $100,000 prize to the American who proposes the best plan whereby the United States may be induced to cooperate with the other nations to prevent fu- ture wars, are finding their way into the public prints. Some have inti- mated that MT. Box is out for pub licity. That is hardly probable. He is distinguished publicist with high spirit of patriotism. While he neither needs nor desires an aimless kind of personal publicity, his offer has al ready begun the creation of a kind
 that should render some service in di- recting the public attention more than ever towards the great moral and phy- sical value of permanent world peace
 Doubtless MT. Bok's motives are sincere and commendable. The offer of a prize in this connection, however, has a tendency to associate the great principle of peace with some individ- ual's striking or happy idea. The world is sick of war and strife; hu- manity craves peace and brotherly love. It is yearning of all the peo- pie, not the outgrowth of a startling thought. In America a large major ity of the hundred million people must be behind a movement for peace in tforder to obtain it. Only when the worlds predominant powers determine to abolish wars can there be world peace. In the United States, little less than in other countries, selfish and vicious politics has obtructed prac- tical plans for peace. The craving, though, must rise above any political consideration before the hideous head of war is forced humbly to bow in

 IT CAN BE STARTED NOW

Nothing is gained by searching for insincerity in the statements of Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of the Steel Corporation, with regard to the expressed intention of the corpo- ration and other large steel interests to abolish the twelve-hour day. in that industry. Speaking for the board of directors of the American Iron and Steel Institute, representatives of the steel industry, he declared: q can say that they will commence to act very soon and wip>be diligent in their efforts" TheZteel industry seems still to have an eye to greater elas-
 ticity in the immigration law with a view to hastening plentiful supply of labor. In that one respect it falls

THE STORM. SEWER SURVEY

: The city commission is so far pro-
 ceeding along the right line Tn the
 matter of enlargement of the storm .s sewer system so as to render it ade- : quate for. the purposes for which ln-
 tended and for prevention of the over-
 flows during heavy rains that have
 done much property damage. How
 ever, the survey that is being made will
 not be satisfying to the people unless : it is thorough, accurate and compre- :. hensive: unless it serves to show just $ what must be done and what the work
 to be done will cost. The people ex-
 pect the survey and report to cover
 the entire ground and to have bear
 ing on the needs of the future Bir-
 mingham, not alone that of today. It
 would not be wise to figure on plan
 for a city of merely a halfmillion
 people. The plans might well con-
 template a population of million , souls and be so pitched that future < additions and enlargements may be < tied on at least inconvenience and : outlay of money. The plans might

 of service as completed, yet each so
 constructed as to readily tie on to the other units as they are built.
 : It is big undertaking and the peo- pie expect the program to be free of
 inaccuracy and guesswerk. They will ask for exact cost estimates of units >as we'll as of the job as a whole. 7 Citizens of Birmingham have never shown themselves niggardly in voting ; bonds for municipal purposes. In
 fact, their past record, with one ex- ception, is that of voting blindly what
 ever was asked of them. That period has passed. Turning down of the last ! school bond issue marked the new community thought and will. It still wishes to be done for the city what should be done; but it has determined not to vote it's money without knowing exactly how it is to be placed and whether the plans call for its economic use. The sewer survey will achieve the result aimed at in accordance with its accuracy, precision of detail, and comprehensivenes with respect to the growing requirements of a growing city.

PEOPLES FORUM
or Military Training Camps

For Military Training Camps To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As you will see by the attached sheet, our state is still far be- hind in the number of accepted applicants for the Civilian Mill tary Training Camps, in spite of the intensive publicity campaign carried on by this office, and the invaluable assistance that The Age Herald has rendered in this respect. Our only hope for filling Alabama's quota is in adopting an attitude of never say die" and, therefore. I take the liberty of again asking you to give me as mucH publicity as possible for the attached press sheet
 Applications to attend the camp will be accepted until July 25, and between now and that date I am very anxious to secure as many young men as possils+e for the camp. Thanking you for any help that you can give us at this time, and for the assistance that you have already given us, I am sin cerely yours,
 T. S. MOORMAN,
 Lieutenant Colonel Infantry. National Guard Armory, Birming-
 ham, Ala, July 9, 1928
 The war department has it's all seeing eye on c. M. T. c. pro- curement all over the country. and today has again given us an additional allotment of c. NJ. T. c. candidates to procure. Why? Be cause Washington knows that the people down here stand for good government, advanced citizenship and adequate protection of our national resources, as taught at Citizens Military Training Camp. We now can send 4,4O0 men to C. M. T. C., and the untiring eff forts of our citizens have gained us the privilege of training more men in proportion to population than any other section of the country!
 We thought, gentlemen, that we had asked for your last efforts, but between now and July 20 we need every qualified applicant you can send us. Every qualified man you send us will be ordered to camp, until we wire you and send out notice through the Associated Press that all vacancies are filled. Let us push our campaign through all available agencies, so that every mother and father of a growing boy in this corps area will have considered seriously, and have acted upon the slogan, Send us your boy and swap him for a man"
 Don't let this be like the late heavyweight fight; we want de- cisiVe finish to our fight-a knockout or nothing. An applica- tion day from each local man will do the business. Send yours In.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN


Agnes Hunter, the girl who was to marry Neil Livingston and to become the mother of David Liv- ingston, perhaps the worlds most famous missionary-explo and certainly one of the worlds ideal men, was a typical Scotch girl of the humber classes. She was born in humble home and brought up to work and work hard. Her life had in it none of the softer luxuries and few of the pleasures that most people en- joy. Like the people in Robert Burns "Cotter's Saturday Night" her father and mother were sin cerely religious people, and trained their daughter in religious thought. When Agnes Hunter married Neil Livingston she had no thought whatever that she was to gain anything except love. She looked forward to a hardworking life, and to simple existence
 When her second child was born she named the boy David" not only because David" was a Bible name, but because it is a typical hotphNll one HGlu the I1tJle boy to her breast and sang him lullabies made from the Psalms. She whispered to him bits of Bible story, and in many ways gave him the richness of her love- Nevertheless, her life was a hard one and a busy one, for money was scarce and everyone in the family had to work for living. Even David himself, who had been sent to school for a time, had to find job in the cotton mill Mhen he was only small boy ten years old. h. household of that sort a mothers love is doubly precious, for 1t is the sustainer and the sup porter in the midst of hardships.
 Agnes Hunter never lost her serene faith, nor the quiet dignity Of her religious life. Her devo- tion appeared later in her famous sons untiring work in the Af- rican jungles. Out of that simple scotch home where money was so scarce and where the necessity for hard work, was so inslstent there came the spirit that sent David Livingston on his long journeys through the African wilderness journeys lit by the impress of a mothers love and "a mothers prayers for her boy.

JEWISH LAUGHS

why so sad, Moshke?" asked the Polish nobleman of his Jewish tailor.
 While in the city I heard that new restrictions were going to be inaugurated against the Jews,' said the workman dismally.
 You have nothing to worry about" assured the "poritz, ," you know very well that I think the world of you and I am not going to forsake you regardless of any edicts that may be issued against Jews"
 Your eXcellency," said the Is raelite sighingly, we have a great God. I am sure He will find a way to save his little Jews. But you see, whenever we are deliv- cred from distress a new holiday is instituted, and I am wondering where I am going to get the money wherewith to celebrate that new holiday"

submission. There is no chance idea upon which the blessed condition may hang. It must be the outgrowth of an irresistible public sentiment de- veloped from a recognition of the horrors of war.
 A contemporary we'll says in this connections:
 The American people, and they
 alone, are going to decide how
 and when they will join hands
 with the>other peoples in reduc-
 ing the danger of armed national
 conflicts The people of the
 United States must come to un-
 derstand that. unless they are
 willing to fight peacefully against
 war they will have to fight bodily
 in war, and when they come to
 that realization, then they will
 express their will in such way
 that the politicians must give
 heed.
 The problem will be solved through the combined judgment of the people. Such a solution would be worth hun dreds of millions, billions, to this great nation. Mr. Bok's prize offer is worth something, however, if it ac- complishes nothing more than to set the people to thinking about condi- tions and influences to rid the na- tion and the world of their worst enemy.

Whats the matter with Ameri- cans, nowadays?" asks contempo- rary. Our guess is auto-intoxication. Whats yours?
 The legislature meets. today. The governor will send a message. Then the scrap will begin. The farmer's lot, the paper said, is
 weary and forlorn. He sweats amid his stubborn fields,
 and none will eat his corn. He sweats amid his rows of corn, but
 it is woefully cheap; The price the farmer gets for it would
 make an angel weep. And so I hastened forth to buy a
 dozen earns of corn To fill an aching void and aid the farmer all forlorn. I yearned to fill the inner man with
 corn upon the cob And in the meantime help to ease the farmers thankless job. "A dozen ears"' spoke unto the mer-
 chant clammy-eyed. Tt sets you back dollar and a quar-
 ter," he replied.

LEGISLATURE CONFINES

Legislatures are frequently laughed at as calamities, but that all depends upon the legislature. Some legisla- lures are public hardships and some achieve legislation of pronounced ben eft to their states. Alabama has doubtless had her share of the wrong kind, but on the whole those of recent years have performed in creditable today in Montgomery they are earn estly reminded that not more laws but better ones are the need of the times. Passed in haste and disre- garded at leisure is the history of too many laws. Then there are the laws of favoritism and laws of special ap- plication that consume the public time without public benefit. It is the hope and belief of the people of this state that the present legislature is capable of beneficial enactments if the mem bers will dedicate themselves whole heartedly and unreservedly to the public needs of this commonwealth. Not the statute of expediency, but the legal enactment of constructive states ship is the proof of legislative wisdom and ability.
 There are questions of wide poten- tial benefit to Alabama that deserve to be settled at this session. There is the project of seaport development which the people have authorized the legislature to undertake and to carry through in a wise and thorough man. ner. There is the cause of public education which has become such a pressing problem, with the increase in population and the constantly increas- ing number of those who carry through their studies to the higher schools and to college. There is the question of public highways which mean so much to the development of the state resources and industry. There are questions affecting com merce and industry and calling for | liberal encouragement to new capital investment. There is the project of surveying the states material re- sources in order that there may be on record complete tabulation of the op- portunity this state offers to enter prise. There are many questions re- garding the welfare of all the citizens which deserve attention, and not least among them all is consideration of some policy respecting our water power development in such manner as will contribute the most good to Ala bama.
 Tie weather is hot, but the pressing problems will not be denied. Let the legislators consider all questions in the light of their effect upon the public welfare. Their responsibility is sol emn one, and their opportunity for con- structive achievement is unequalled in the history of Alabama. It is theirs to decide whether they shall go down in history in Well-earned renown, or whether, like some of their predeces- sors, they shall become mere legis- lative incident.

Everybody Right

The venerable rabbk was sitting in the capacity of judge. The case involved thousands of roubles, and the controversy between the liti- gants was very spirited.
 "One at a time" ordered the rabbinic magistrate. "Reb Yosel, you are the plaintiff, let me hear what you have to say"
 Reb Yosel told long and con- vpcing story, at the end of which the "rov" gravely remark ed You are perfectly right"
 "Reb Moishe, now we'll hear what you have to tell" said the divine to the defendant; and at the end of his story the minister again observed: You are per fectly right"
 For Heavens sake," exclaimed the "rebitzin" (rabbi's wife), who had been witnessing the proceed ings. "how can they both be right?"
 Well" drawled the sage ab- stractedly, T think you are right, too."

Two Ways to Abolish It

The convict contract system could be abolished and the press ent agitation ended in a very short time by a contain class or Alabama citizens, should they so desire. This class is made up of the coal operators. the men who contract with the state to pur- chase the labor of these wrong doers. There are two agencies which reap profit through the present system. One Is the state and the other is the coal opera tor who uses convict labor. Either one of these parties has the power to put a stop to the sale of human labor. But 1t begins to look as If neither of them wants to take the initiative.
