practical way of using a large
quantity of surplus milk is to
make cured cheese because of its
superior keeping qualities.

By THOMAS R. MARSHALL Former Vice President of the United
 Statea

Who doubts that we would be better off if we had less ferment and more cement in the building of our national life? I have been watching those who have been most strenuous to avoid entangling al dances with the peoples of the old world. l hope I do them no injus- tice when 1 say they are as free in their advice as to what should be done in Europe as those persons who think we should be over there helping to do it. I never had any desire that the United States per manently remain at Geneva. But l dld desire that we go there and re- main until the ferment of the war had disappeared and the cement of good will had settled. It is usually those Christians having no interest in foreign missions who take the least interest in home missions.
 To talk about the neutrality of the American people is just to talk. So long as we discuss the affairs of Europe we are not neutral. We may invest no money and furnish no ammunition, but we are uncon- sciously taking a hand. We have not yet reached that high degree of idealism which would enable us to say that we are willing to submit the vital honor of the American people to the determination of some tribunal. None or the great na- tions of the world has reached it. I doubt the exjsten9 of an inter- national mind. save in the realm of banking. do no, use this term offensively; l mean, for instance, the kind of mind which believes that the best American is one who would be willing to have his country re- buked when his country is in the wrong; who would accept even an unjust decision and abide un- der the ignominy of it rath- CT than to shed his fellow countrymen's blood for cash in hand or thereafter to be paid. But we have no such attitude of mind, nor has Great Britain, France, Ja- pan. They are willing to settle the grievances of the smaller nations of the world, but they are not ready to judge themselves. Victory still perches upon the banners of the heavy battalions.

zens for it's consideration on Monday even ing, and male civic organizations have re- sponded to the call and will also take part. There is no question of the importance of a pure and standardized supply of milk. Households cannot afford guesswork as to this elemental food. Mothers are entitled to certainty in the wholesomeness and purity of the milk that is being fed to their babes. They should be heard when ordinances af- fecting the milk supply are under considera- tion. Officials are chosen by the people to carry out their will. This will should be expressed not only in general way before election, when promises are easily made and as easily forgotten, but on every occasion when the public welfare is involved. The citizens of Bessemer will get what they dis cover to themselves as that which they really and truly want. Such activity of citizen ship as the milk supply question has aroused is fine civic exercise and good is sure to follow.

trust-busting. If the oil companies or any corporations are gouging the public, the press wants them compelled to stop 1t. But the press is not unduly incensed at busi- ness merely because it has attained gigantic stature. The editors are not defenders of the oil companies; they merely want to be in possession of all the facts before giving all unreserved opinion. If the LaFollette showing can be substantiated then the press will be unitedly for corrective measures. There is general demand for such show ing as will reveal the actual situation. Un- til then, there will be no violent attacks on the industry

BIRMINGHAM TO THE WORLD

What producer this district is. South, East, West and North come to Birmingham for the product of her mills and furnaces, and the surplus goes to other peoples through the gateway at Mobile and the winding curves of the Warrior, the largest and long, est canal in the world and the one capable of continuous and maximum service. Bir- mingham is about to send a solid trainload of cast-iron pipe from one of her large makers to Fort Worth, Texas, where an ex- tensive expansion of the waterworks sys- tenn is under way. This will be part of total order on the Birmingham plant that represents more than $400,000 and many thousand tons of pipe. It is just one of puah big jobs as come automatically to the districts pipe works. Last spring the city of Atlanta took 5000 tons of Birmingham and Bessemer water pipe. The waterworks systems of as widely ly-scattered localities as Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen and Honolulu were laid with Birmingham pipe.
 Cast-iron pipe is only one degree removed from pig iron. It is not highly-finished product, but it's make involves the employ

ment of thousands Of mechanics and labor CTS and some of the largest payrolls of the district. The pipe shops are one of Bir- mingham's most reliable and continuous supports. The Texas job is an example of the size of the contracts which the Bir- mingham shops are in the habit of execut- ing and indicate payrolls incident to that production. Birmingham produces some of the great underlying necessities and that is why the peoples of the world come hither to trade. Birmingham also has low-cost fa- cilities for distribution and that completes the assuredness of her power to produce for the world

COAL COMMISSION THOROUGH

The members of the federal coal comms- sion have not been skimming the coal field in a perfunctory manner. They have not extended casual attention from the plat forms of the cars conveying them through the district. They have not accorded care full investigation of one class of mine and niggardly investigation of another. They have visited the large mines of the steel and iron-producing companies, who consume fifty per cent. of the coal output, and they have been to the commercial mines which produce the thirty per cent. of output that is taken by the railroads. They toured the southern Cahaba field where the high-grade domestic coals are produced and where con- mercial mining finds it's highest expression. They have seen the free mines and they have been at the convict mines. They have not only been at the mines, but they have gone down into some of them. They have talked to employees at the mines. They have gone into the company stores and they have seen the homes where the mine workers and their families live.
 Chairman Hammond sent advance word that the commission was not to be enter
 
 district was intended to be workaday af- fair for the purpose of carrying on the inn- portant business embraced in creation of the commission. The commission has been at work and that birds-eye-v1ew of the coal field which Chairman Hammond declared to be the commissions objective shall have been obtained in clarity and definiteness of out line. Armed with clear appreciation of the characteristics of this coal field and SUD- piled with the data of detail that is being assembled by the staff of engineers and statsticians in their employ, the commission will have prepared itself to pass with judg ment on the Alabama end of the coal prob lem. The commission has made the business for which it came here paramount. When men of intelligence and experience do that the results are bound to be good.

REACHING THE PEOPLE

One Of the crltlclSmS Olrecteu at tne pres ent method of governing utility rates and settling complaints through the Public Ser vice Commission has been the commissions $ inaccessibility at Montgomery and the bur den of expense placed upon communities by the necessity of carrying complaints to the capital It is noted that the commission as now newly constituted is doing what it may to relieve the situation by itself going to the community concerned to hear major cases. For example, the hearing of the case in- volving utility valuation and water rates in Jasper will be held in that city. This gives an opportunity to hear more witnesses and to make a more thorough examination of the local situation than would be possible at Montgomery. A similar case will be heard also at Greensboro. While this course on the part of the commission is not unprece- dented, it has not been the usual custom, and the people of Alabama are duly appre- ciative of this consideration on the part of the present commission.
 Nevertheless, there are certain cases mer- iting adjudication and yet of such minor importance that the commission would sac rifice too much valuable time in going about the state to hear them. Indeed, such pro- gram would be impossible, because of the multiplicity of cases. On the other hand, the complainants in such instances either cannot afford the expense incident to trip to Montgomery with witnesses or else find the expense out of proportion to the antici- pated relief. Such cases at present usually go without remedy, often owing to the fact that utilities are slow to amend abuses unless obliged to do so. These minor complaints are heard by local officials who do what they can to persuade the utilities to afford relief but, being without authority, such of ficials too frequently find that they have had their trouble for their pains. It ap- pears, therefore, that the officials of the municipalities should be given such author ity in the premises as will enable them to enforce their orders. Apparently in no other manner can minor complaints as to service be remedied, no matter how we'll disposed the state commission is or how anx- ious to administer justice where justice cries for attention.

[ census of opinion in numerous cities; it is the unduobted view of several states. Now it is self-de- termination as to what system of government we will lend willing obedience to, as to what laws we will obey and what laws we will evade. It is the same doctrine car ried to farcical end, I pray God, not to dangerous limit.
 But whether in free America or the countries of the old world, the people, no difference what may be their views as to their rights. would forego most of them in the in- terests of peace if it were not for leadership. As the hart panteth for the brook, so the souls of men everywhere long for peace. Give the people chance to say whether there shall be peace or war, and we shall have eliminated almost every danger of conflict. We shall not have peace nor permanent hope of peace so long as men in authority are actuated by the belief that their first duty is to maintain the integ- rity of their own country, their sec ond duty is to obtain every political and economic advantage possible, and their third duty is to talk, if any time remains, about peace and good will among men. Fretful little realms may be held in awe by the overpowering majesty of larger gov ernments, but a friendly feeling will not exist until the little fellow is convinced that the raw by which he is governed is the law govern ing all.
 Not ,since Frederick the Great made his assault upon Silesia has any nation deliberately avowed it's intention to prepare for a war of aggression. The cry Is. "Arms, men. ships for defensev v'-defense against whom no one at the time knows, but sooner or later the tar get is found, the enemy Is uncov- cred. The expense which was gladly met for defense is used for offense. While the present system continues there is nothing other to be done. It is vain to train our boys to be too proud to fight, for they may be compelled to fight in defense of their fires. They may even be made the aggressors by de- signing politicians. But while the soul of the world, scanned and scared by the last conflict, is cry ing out for peace, why do not the people take steps to disarm the world and to prevent it's rearming until a future generation desires another war?

tional it is necessary to cultivate national mind, thing we do not now possess. I thought the war would drain the last drop of blood out of the veins of the American people and fill them up with the ichor of the gods, pulsating in thought and conduct to service, sac rifice and peace. It did no such thing. The Englishman has his prejudice for England, the French man for France, the. Italian for Italy, the German for Germany, and the view one obtains about the things now going on in Europe will, nine times out of ten, enable him to fix the ancestry of the man who expresses it. Yes. the League of Nations is doing good in restraining some of the little fellows, but it will only accomplish it's perfect work when it ceases 70 be an or ganization of the old governments, with their old hopes, fears and am- bitions. If it could become league of peoples instead of remain a league of the men who are ruling the destinies of those peoples, how soon it would meet with the ap- proval of mankind! If there were only some way to have it repre- sentatives of the soul of the world rather tban the budget of the world, how speedily might arms and armament be reduced!
 The league is doing good in fix ing limitation to the popularly conceived notion that there is a Urine of self-determination in the in man. It is to be hoped that its moral influence, which, regrettably, is the only one it can use. will as- suage national pride and the doc Urine of self-determination in the minds of the people of small Eu- ropean nations.
 More than sixty years ago we witnessed the most desperate effort of all history in defense of the doc Urine of self-determination. The beauty and chivalry of the south resolved to maintain the institution of slavery at any cost and to de- stroy the American union regardless of consequences. And, in the north, believers in this same doctrine of self-determ;nation boldly advocated letting the erring sisters go in peace. But there were those who said the doctrine was being carried too far, and for four years brother shot at brother to settle the ques- tion, and it was settled against the doctrine of self-determination.
 Ina milder form this doctrine has bobbed up again. It is in the minds of many men; it is the con-

Livestock on the Farm

tJaspcer Mountain Eagle)
 In an address delivered at the two-days' short course in Jasper re- gently H. s. Mobley said: Live stock farming is the basis of profit able agriculture" MT. Mobley knew what he was talking about. Livestock on the farm enriches the soil and if handled intelligently few cattle on the farm ought to be self-sustainiAg to say the least. MT. Mobley said further: "A five years average of 20 Iowa farms in nine different counties in Iowa shows that the ten stock farms yielded more corn, oats and clover per acre than the ten grain farms. Live stock farming means an all-the- year-round agriculture, means liv- ing on the farm, means healthy, happy, prosperous people"
