No town can grow with the ma jority of it's people slackers. Every citizen should do his part to make his town and community what they should be. The people who talk and work for better ho- tels, better schools and better town generally will get what they go after.

WARRIORS BRIGHTER OUTLOOK

WARRIORS BKlGH FIX OO LOOh
 Director Ashburn's interview with respect to the earnings and prospects of the Warrior barge service partakes of an optimism very gratifying to the people of Alabama Although many do not approve of the policy of re- taining the embargo on the ports of Tuscaloosa, Demopolis and Cordova, yet the fact that the Warrior business is growing more profitable proves the soundness of the management in gen. eral. Colonel Ashburn intimated that the negotiations with the railroads looking to a more fair division of rates for joint hauls were proceeding towards satisfactory conclusion. This is important, although the un- necessary and perhaps deliberate de- lay attendant upon these negotiations has been very costly to the public in- terests as represented in the Warrior investment. The director of water ways declared that the waterways are not fighting the railroads, but that does not reassure the people that the railroads are not fighting the water ways in a subtle but effective manner,
 In spite of all opposition, however, the Warrior is not now losing propo- cition, and needs only rate justice to place it's balance on the proper side of the ledger. The business both up- stream and down is increasing, the ratio now being thirty per cent up- stream against seventy per cent. down. stream. The upstream ratio is in creasing with better understanding on the part of shippers and consignees of the saving to be effected by use of the service and with better ad- justment of rates to favor the service. It is expected that the new rates put into effect by the Southern Pacific Steamship Company affecting cotton shipments from inland water points will add to the Warriors tonnage be- cause they will represent aSsaving of eleven and half cents on each one hundred pounds of cotton thus han dled. If the rates may be extended to include Demopolis then that port will at once become active in exporting the staple.
 It is significant that Colonel Ash burn is convinced that part of the Warriors overhead is engulfed in the operation of uneconomical, inefficient and obsolete equipment. With eff cient, uptodate equipment the margin on operation will at once widen in measure more than compensatory for the investment required. In line with this belief, and supported by the pres ent favorable showing of the barge lines, the waterways management is encouraged to go before congress with request for five and a half million dollars for the maintenance and ex- pansion of the waterways, portion of which sum is to be spent in build ing twenty-five steel barges of modern type for the Warrior service. All this is conducive to the Warriors success and the people within the Warrior rate zone have reason to believe in the consummation of their confidence in the waterways as, an essential and beneficent arm of transportation. There remains the fair adjustment of joint rate divisions and the restora- tion of discontinued service to insure the fullest public enjoyment of the waterway investment.

How to Build a City

(Gadsden JournaD
 Resources alone will not build a city. Capital alone cannot build city. Labor alone cannot build city. Resources and capi- tal and labor cannot build a city unless they are properly related. Capital and labor can accomplish anything within the power of man. If they occupy the right at- titude toward each other. They can be aided in this work if the third party, the public itself, is friendly and sympathetic with their efforts

one Cause for Crime

 One great cause of all tho trouble with crime and criminals is the practice of passing them on. The authorities let man off If he will leave town at once" He leaves. There seems to be an idea that an order to leave town will strand the criminal in space somewhere. He still eats. drinks, sleeps and takes up, room in the world. Where does he go? To the next town, of course. Or to the nearest big city, already over crowded with criminals. Of all the senseless methods of proce- dure of which humanity is guilty, this one seems one of the most senseless and weakminded. The criminal is there. A wave of the hand neither eliminates him nor reforms, him. It is merely an eva sion of the main. issue. a passing of the buck.

 NJ CAPITAL gEg;;:'.

Some Republican newspapers the Portland Oregonian among them, are sufficiently bold and honest to declare without circum- locution that the Republican par ty cannot exist half "standpat and half "progressive. /
 That statement is true, ob- viously- true. although it is not positively established just how soon the Republican party must go on the rocks. According to the Oregonian and certain other newspapers (and certain staunch Republicans, such as MT. White ln his Emporia Gazette), the down. fall will be an event of 1924 un- less the party mends it's ways.
 
 Commenting on the election of Judge Hill, a Democrat, to con gress from the Fifth district or oregon, normally Republican, the Oregonian says:
 If the presidential election were to be held today we believe the verdict would be about the same as rendered in the Spokane district That was national election, pure and simple, and the Republican party threw away two elections rather than permit the party progressively to express It. self.
 "The Republican party is at the parting of the ways. It cannot endure half 'standpat' and half progressive.
 The Oregonian elsewhere in the same issue declares: "The Re- publican party is losing practical ly every election 1t enters" This contrasts interestingly with the statement of John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican na- tional committee. that "every sec tion I have entered shows strong Republican inclination"
 Tho Democrats here have bounced with pleasure on an edi- torial from William Allen White predicting another 1912 disaster" He says:
 Any attempt to force the con- servative viewpoint onto the Re publican ticket or into the Re- publican platform next year will result in a Republican defeat. If the candidate and platform are not satisfactory to the liberal wing of the party, the Republi- cans are going to get licked"
 MT. Coolidge is ultra-conserva- tive. White doesn't declare how the conservative viewpoint may be eliminated. Perhaps the nomi- nation of Henry Allen for the ce-presidency would prompt White to swallow the ticket ire spective of the platform.
 The Ohio State Journal, a Re publican newspaper, is openly scoffing. The Democratic com mittee republishes the following from the Journal: '"If that per- feet frankness with the people, which we would like to see ob- tain in our politics, really does obtain, we suppose Senator Lodge, who we have no reason to hope will not be chairman of our res- olutions committee again. would be already framing up a plank for the platform beginning: Once more we unreservedly indorse the sound Republican principle of am- pie tariff protection for our larger campaign fund contributors
 And the committee prints an- other excerpt from the Journal: "We imagine nothing In the world would make Secretary Weeks madder just at this grave crisis than to be bumped into by Ford, even if 1t didn't hurt him very much"

nestimable value. Yet through a shortsighted policy on the part of congress the navy has been se- verely crippled. With false idea of economy sufficient funds were not appropriated to provide fuel oil, with the result that many of our ships have been forced to cease cruising and must lie idle in port. This tends to lower the morale and efficiency of the fleet and if long continued will result in untold damage. It is the duty of each of us to acquaint ourselves with these facts. for if we wish a navy that will stand the test when the fate of this nation may depend upon one short naval en- gagment, it is up to all of us to give the navy. the whdle- hearted support and cooperation that it deserves.

Former Yankton Brewery
Turned Into Creamery

Yankton, S. D., Mar. SIN the old
days beer was made in Yankton-
Rosebud beer.
For these now many years since
that time passed some citizens have
believed beer would once more be
made In Yankton. They have pointed
to the brewery buildings, with their
vacant rooms and idle engines, and
said ii could not be that all this would
go to waste. 1t has comforted some
people.
That solace now is gone. Workmen
yesterday removed the last of the tons
of heavy machinery that used to fur
nish power and make ice for the beer
plant, and the Heating creamery will
move IN. The Yankton Wholesale
company is already In possession of
what used to be the bottling works.
Part Of the machinery had been sold
before. and part Of it went to the
Gurhey plant today.
The watts and tanks in the tall castl-
ed building still remain. But they
cant be seen from the sidewalk and
must be taken on faith. And they
can't make beer alone.
1t is possible that the old brewery
will eve be a brewery again.
