1s1hH advertising as one of the of building it
The clear vision comes only with the consideration of
what is best in the long rum

the business itself safe and sound just because at

makes it difficult to keep going:
During the past few years economic conditions have
combined to prove the faacy of hand mouth policy
OF manufacturing and marketing, always at the mercy
Of market fluctuations with the manufacturer helpless
to influence his market And the other hand these
conditions have proved the wisdom of considering the
long and making all plans in accordance with that
view.
Today result of recent economic changes and of
lessons severely learned tens of thousands Of Dealers
in every line of merchandise, are giving emphasis
to their preference for lines of merchandise that
trade1marked and adequately advertised by the manu-
facturer. The public, during the period of minimum
sales demonstrated it's preponderant preference for adj
Vertsed goods, and the dealers will not do otherwise
than accept the situation and build their business for the

the Grafton and Grand Forks quin-

There are always enough of the dis contented to be cajoled into support of leaders like Foster and measures for which they stand. There are thousands who do not see in their failures in life the real cause, but credit their conditions to existing forms of government and business principles. They are just beneath the surface, but ready to rise as soon as any upheaval in business conditions, any industrial dispute or any na- tional or international issue arises. They batten on the nations troubles. Let it never be doubted that they are busy under cover and ready to harass government and prostrate industry so far as they can. The mass of American labor is not of the way of thinking of Foster. But the like of him become powerful if not watched. The mine workers are right in throw ing out the warning.

THE MINNESOTA PRIMARIES

The primary returns in Minnesota, in which the Republicans show great gains over the Farmer-Labor party, is heralded by Republican leaders as a great Republican victory and swing back to the party. Partisan enthusi- asm must be credited with this con clusion, for to many observers the re- suit indicates merely that the radical fever in the Northwest is abating, and that the Republican party, which lost most heavily to the irregulars, is merely receiving the wanderers back into the fold. Minnesota has only once in its history failed to send Repub- lican to congress, and that in the cleo ton that occurred when party irregu- larity was at it's height. If the state fails to return to it's full Republican strength, then the party has suffered net loss and not gain.

KEEP AN EYE ON FOSTER

The warning issued by the United Mine Workers of America that W. 2. Foster, whose industry disturbing ac- tivities following the war led to sev- eral charges being filed against him, is supplied with funds from foreign communist sources has not occasioned surprise. These international com munistic forces are busy the world over. They were busy before the war, but were not thrown into the limelight until the World War brought chaotic conditions conducive to their flourishing. Then they broke forth. They tried to impede this country in the conduct of the war, after which they endeavored to assume control of labor organizations from the inside, and make of them not peaceful body of organized men seeking their legiti- mate rights through adjustment of grievances, but one whose principal weapon should be sabotage and vio- lence. They sought to undermine the American custom of negotiating ir- dust1fal disputes and to substitute the taking over of American industries.
 This nation laughed at creatures like Foster during peace periods when they seemed to be crazy, only to real ize when stressful tsmes arrived that | they were wolves in the sheep-fold.

THE CITY SHOULD CLEAN UP

physician who IS cnalrman OI Ine special committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce to investigate sanitary conditions with a view of putting on cfty-wide cleanup cam paign, declares that Birmingham IS dirtier than it has been for years, and that conditions in the downtown al levs are a merace to the public health. It appears that a careful inspection was made, not only of conditions m the downtown business districts, but in residential sections. AccImulations of refuse and rubbish of all kinds, quantities of fly, mosquito and dis ease breeding garbage were reported; in many residential sections grass and weeds are flourishing, while large percentage of the garbage cans are without tops, and generally unsat- isfactory sanitary condition prevails.
 It is primarily the responsibility of the municipal authorities to prevent such a situation. In every commit nifty there are people who have little or no realization of the value of the public health. The only way to safe guard the community against such people is for the municipal authorities to force them to observe the health ordinances. Every resident can con tribute to his own and to the public welfare by keeping his premises clean and sanitary Those who decline or neglect to do this should be required to do so under the law. That is where the municipal authorities have an inn portant duty
 This Is the season when sanitary measures are especially important. The public welfare is at stake. One epidemic of typhoid would be com- munity calamity, and many people who have done and are doing their full duty to prevent so disastrous a situation would suffer as heavily as those who brought about the trouble by their neglect. This is neither just nor reasonable. Hence the. duty of the authorities to take such steps as will safeguard the community in the premises. It has been said that people can have as good government as they are determined to have, and as bad government as they are willing to tolerate. The same is true as re- gards their sanitary and health con ditions. Let there be a city-wide cleanup campaign as start towards such needed system of permanent cleanliness and safe sanitary condi- tions. Birmingham should and must be clean and healthful not only after such a campaign, but as normal and regular condition.

Protecting school Children

To the Editor of The ge-Herald:
 Page 3 of today's issue of your publication contains an article entitled, school Fires in Ala bama Alarm State Officials" and brings to mind a letter l wrote to the city official having control of public safety the week follow ing Thanksgiving one year ago last Thanksgiving regarding con- ditions at Ullman school. This letter was sent from one person to another until it was finally given to Professor Glenn's assist ant, who wrote me that he wis., ited Ullman school and went over the situation with the principal. He stated that he and the official went down the fire escape and that In descending same said fire escape caught on the ventilator flue, or pipe. and stuck there. At that time the grades on the upper floors of this school were the lower grades. not the higher. Can you imagine a catastrophe such as would have resulted had this building caught fire. or if it should now be fired" with small children trooping through the window onto the fire escape, the fire escape catching on the venti- lator flue? Can't you see children falling through the fire escape ladder to certain death?
 The important thing is. of what value is the old-time fire escape in a school fire? Also how many children and teachers know how to reach the fire escape in case of fire? In the regulation fire drills do the children and teachers go down the fire escape? How many parents know anything of the conditions existing in the schools their children attend? Has any thing been done to correct the flaws at Ullman school? I have asked a good many teachers in different parts of this city and almost invariably they have an- swered they do not know where the fire escape Is.
 I am not writing this letter in criticism of teachers. but I am writing in the hope that this letter may be given publicity and make the parents and others real ize the duty they owe the school the city officials may act before another school year and do every thing possible to avoid any such horrible catastrophe as has hap pened elsewhere.

Samuel Gompers, president Of the American Federation of La bor, has ascertained as result of his long experience. that there Is very little efficacy and absolutely no magic in a law.
 The farm bloc may continue to operate. according to the venera- ble labor leader, but farm prices will still be reckoned by the law of supply and demand-by gen eral economic conditions-and the bank balance of the farmer will be dependent exclusively on the amount of hard work he per- forms.
 In an address to the farmers of the country, MT. Gompers said: Tt seems easy to rush to law makers and ask for laws. Therc is no magic in laws. About the bestthat a law can do Is to go along with ripening public sen- timent or a ripening economic de- velopment.
 There are many lawmakers. some farmers and some wage earners, who forget that we are living in an industrial civilization. The economic forces of our time ride on. developing and changing in accord with human needs, in vention, and the supply of raw material.
 Lawmakers a decade ago were furiously engaged in trying to bust the trusts Political cam paigns were fought out on that issue. The graveyards were not filled with the mains of busted trusts, but are well populated with the skeletons of forgotten laws and lawmakers. The trusts are greater than ever. It has been possible to curb some of their operations, but the essential structure has stood because 1t was economically right and inevitable.
 T point to these things to make clear my thought. The road to right practices. right develop ments, right compensations Is not through congress or legislatures. They may sometimes lend help ing hand or clear the road, but they cannot build the body of our effort or shape our course"

TO STUDY IMMIGRATION

The immigration problem is not problem after the annual quotas are exhausted. It follows, then, that the smaller the quotas the soorer they would be exhausted and the less the problem. There is an evident official intention of making a careful study of the situation, and to this end Secre- tary Davis has projected visit to certain foreign lands. Among others he has invited to go with him Sena- tors Harrison of Mississippi and Har- ris of Georgia, both of whom are known to favor rigid restrictions. It appears that there is some administra- tive division on the question, some mission for the sake of the labor de- mand. That, however, is not an ar gument which finds favor with the great majority of Americans. They know that too much labor soon brings about conditions of unemployment. and the more idle men there are the greater the disorder they create
 Public sentiment appears to be de- cidedly in favor of a prolongation of our period of prosperity through con- tinued production and employment
 Admission of foreign labor has not in the past proved any permanent solu- tion of our industrial problems, and it has added greatly to our social problems. We would be foolish in deed to repeat a policy that has not served us. The melting-pot cannot make a homogeneous compound of metal and dross. We prize our civili- zation and our national ideals above the more material consideration of unprecedented industrial expansion.
 The immigration problem is not a pressing one, except in one particu- lar, and that is in selection. There are many coming in under our pres ent laws whom we do not want and who do not fit into our scheme of things. Having the best of all the world to draw from, why should we not accept only the best? Failing that, why accept any? There are un- doubtedly effective ways of sorting applicants for admission, accepting those who meet our specifications and rejecting those who do not. There are those whom we have admitted who have abused their opportunities and betrayed our hospitality. That should not be permitted to happen again. The selection would preferably take
