 PROSPERITY IN WALKER

In spite of set-backs to the coal and lum- Der business, in which it deals largely, Wal ker county is full of optimism. And justi- fication for this feeling is not far to seek. The set-backs were temporary and not in- herent in Walker. The prosperity which it is enjoying is it's own and is not to be shaken. The record of improvement set forth Sunday by the Jasper Bureau of The Age-Herald Is convincing enough of this. Among the items mentioned are: Street paving in Jasper, the erection of a number of business houses on Commerce avenue, a new hotel, new theatre and seventy-five thousand dollar hospital. This is conclu- sive evidence of progress At Empire the building of million and half dollar coke oven has begun. Parrish Is putting up thirty thousand dollar school house, and two railroads are preparing for the extension of their lines to new coal mines there. New coal operations are beginning at Nauvoo, Aldridge, Corona and at various other points nearby and the industry is in excellent shape generally in the county; the lumber mills are running full time with orders ahead. These are some of the indications of Walkers prosperity, but they alone fur nish sufficient reason for optimism.

BORAH COMPLETES THE CIRCLE

After Senator Borah's recent discovery of Europe, his interest in that part of the world is not surprising, but it is still hard to believe that statesman who was one of our foremost advocates of national isola- tion and helped materially to defeat the Versailles treaty can censure the American government for not preventing France from entering the Ruhr and not calling an eco- homie conference to settle the separations problem. Senator Borah even refers, for justification of his protest, to the principles of Woodrow Wilson. He says the policy of France in the Ruhr valley is not authorized by the Versailles treaty, is "in defiance of international order and peace" and Gan offense against humanity" Ruthless mil itarism" is another charge he brings against France in a statement issued by him in Washington, and that the honor of the Amer ican government and it's responsibilities as sumed during the World war demand that 1t no longer remain silent, but declare it's atti- tude against violations of treaty which Senator Borah scorned.
 America, forsooth, should have taken steps to prevent this present crisis, yet Senator Borah is probably more responsible than any other member of the senate for the situation which now exists. He would have the United States participate in Eu- ropean affairs, who but short while ago solenlnly declared that America should stay out of foreign entanglements." The sight of prostrate Germany moves the senator almost to tears. He seems to have an idea that we promised to stand by Germany and see that she was justly treated, but the only way we could do that was by ratifying the Versailles treaty and thus becoming party to the settlement of European disputes and the carrying out of the treaty's stipulations. Europe is in her present plight chiefly be-
 cause America held aloof and let her war as- sociates follow their own selfish aims, instead of cooperating for the common good of all. Who was responsible for that? MT. Wilson knows and Senator Borah knows, too. In gush of feeling for Germany, he ignores that historic battle of the .'irreconcilables" in the United States senate. Verify, Senator Borah hath had a change of heart.

OF HAPPY AUGURY

An agreement reached by coal operators and union leaders to abolish central com petitive fields as basis for fixing wages of more harmonious relations in the coal industry. It promises to remove to a large extent the overcoming threat of gen. eral strike and a national fuel shortage. It may also be regarded as marking a conces- zion by the union leaders who have hereto fore insisted on maintaining the "central competitive field" in all wage controversies with the operators. It was this issue which caused tho strike of last year. The new arrangement substitutes "tri-state" com petitive field, including Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. but eliminating Pennsylvania, which it is hoped to use as a guide for operators and miners throughout the country in ad- justing wages and working conditions. The plan is similar in theory to the one aban- doned, but the new field takes in less ter ritory and will give operators and miners more latitude in making contracts. It is encouraging to observe that forces are at work to bring about better understanding between workers and employers in the coal industry and minimize labor troubles. Since both sides are apparently convinced that strikes must be avoided in the future, it is much easier to reach agreements in that spirit than in one of hostility and suspicion which makes agreement difficult, if not i'm possible.

TEACHERS AS AUTHORS
(New York Sun)

It would be too much to expect that col lege teachers generally should express them selves with William James, aptitude. But it is proper to ask that they write good English, that they offer their thoughts to the public in clear and logical form. This appears to be all that the speakers of the Modern Language Association had in mind when at recent meeting they mentioned the faults of professors as authors. Few teachers could write well for publication, it was said; many spelled poorly, their sen- tences lacked unity, their paragraphs were not well knit. A well-ordered scientific statement often is the most effective kind of writing. A teacher of science or of any subject who cannot find the right verbal clothing for his thoughts will find it difficult to present them to his hearers.

SEAPORT QUESTION IS URGENT

The welfare of the productive industry Of Alabama depends so greatly upon the im- mediate equipment of the Port of Mobile, and the people of Alabama have so over whelmingly indorsed the undertaking, that the legislature is bound to make every eff fort at the earliest possible moment to re- pair the defect in the seaport amendment. This is time, not for post-mortems over how 1t all happened, but for definite and effective action in order that the undertake ing may suffer the shortest possible delay.
 Two ways out of the difficulty suggest themselves. Since the legislature will prob ably recess until July, it may at once prepare corrected constitutional amendment for submission to the people at specified early date, and adjourn sine die, so that the techni- cal requirements of the constitution may be complied with After the election the gov ernor may reassemble the legislature for action on the measure proposed for recess consideration. In this way the second ses- sion would be empowered to proceed with seaport development.
 Or, the legislature may within the next few days pass the legislation looking to port development, subject to ratification of the amendment, so that, as soon as popular rati- fication is obtained, the project may at once be put into effect, without further legisla- tive action. The method is for the gov ernor and the legislature to decide, but the urgent public need for prompt decision counsels that the action be taken before recess adjournment. The people confidently hope that the thought of speedy action will appeal to Governor Brandon.

LEASE LIBERTY TREE SITE
 Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

Announcement that the property in the heart of Boston which is the site of the famous Liberty tree, used as the gathering place for the Sons of Liberty in 1766 at the time of, the repeal of the stamp act, has been leased for long term of years, re- calls many incidents associated with this location. The corner of Wash ington and Essex streets, where the, property in question is located, was at that time known as Hanover square, and the space about the old tree was called Liberty hall. This "hall" was the scene of many pa- triotic demonstrations and served as the starting place for the parades of the Sons of Liberty. After the destruction of the tree, pole which remained there as late as the visit of Lafayette in 1925, was erected upon the stump. Alas, the site was later occupied my tavern, called the Liberty Tree tavern. How were the mighty fallen! It is to be hoped that the present transactions pre- sapes a return to it's earlier glory.

 WHY NOT LET HER REST

N4NCW l Olh llIutS.J
 There will be so little left of Po- cahontas by this time, and the little will be so uninteresting-so little related to the stories and memories gathered about that poor young princess ss"-that it seems rather a pity to go digging after the scanty remains" which so long have slept in their English grave. Her career, though so brief, seems to have been rather happier ti.an that of many of her people, but though her husband by all accounts was kind, and wholly amiable, the interest she excited in London, the dignity with which our Indians, before civiliza- tion has corrupted them, are abun- dantly supplied must have suffered when she became curiosity in a land to her altogether strange. That she died so young does not prove that she languished in exile, and be- cause of exile, though perhaps she did. It was very easy for anybody to die in the London of that day.
 That she had exalted rank in America is pretty legend, but it must not be taken too seriously. As the daughter of a chief she was as much of a princess as any Indian woman could be, and to win the favor in high society that she did her manners must have been simple and therefore good.

Poor Boys Who Succeeded
 By FREDERICK HoUK LAW
Newton, the Great scientist

The teacher of the Grantham Grammar school in England in 1854 regarded little twelve-year-old Isaac Newton as lazy, neg ligent and unwilling to learn, gave him the lowest marks and ranked him among his most unsatifactory pupils. The boys moth CT took Isaac out of school and tried to make a farmer out of him, as his father had been before him. Strange to say, that boy became the most profoundly learned man of his day; master of the most ob- struse mathematics; member of parliament; reformer of English coinage; author os great books; president of the Royal Society, and an intellectual wonder whose thought grasped the immensity of worlds and meas ured the strength of the universe.
 The beginning was fight. A boy who gained higher marks in school taunted Isaac Newton, who promptly thrashed the bully. Then Isaac set to wor6 and began to study Before his mother took him out of school he stood at the head of his class. After he left school he read and studied much. Once again, in Trinity college, Cambridge, he was rated "poor" in certain mathematics. He simply went at it again and won. To him every failure became challenge. He won a scholarship; became Fellow; won the degrees of A. B. and A. M, and became professor.
 Newton studied the properties of light, and measured the movements of the heaven ly bodies. Almost as diversion he in- vented the sextant that is used today on every ocean liner. One day he wondered why apples fall to the ground and then why the moon stays in place. Out of his medi- tations came his great statement of the law of gravitation the basis of all modern as tronomy. He gained the admiration of the world and solved problems that seemed be- yond solution. He became an expert in chemistry, and, in fact, in all learning The greatest people were proud to know him. When he died at 85 he was buried in Westminster Abbey, with almost royal hon. ors. Failure had challenged him into great ness.

agement breathed a sigh of relief and the laugh was on Sir Basil. The eminent de- tective, created by Dr. Conan Doyle, did not have high opinion of Scotland Yard. The poisoned candy'' episode, which proved to be hoax, and this latest misadventure of Sir Basil, which must have been some what humiliating to a celebrated crime spe- cialist, might strengthen Sherlock Holmes impression of the fallibility of English de- tectives. To inspire confidence in great detective three things are required. He must never lose his head, his pistol or his purse. Furthermore, he must have reten- tive memory.

The Peoples Forum
Supports France

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 am glad to see in your editorial on French occupation that some one is on the side of France in her determination to collect what is due her. 1 have been positively seething as 1 have read what, to me, has seemed the weak and non sensical opposition to France in her course. France would indeed have become soft nation if she had sat and let Germany continue her pol icy of upbuilding at Frances ex- pense. And what has come over America and England that they are not willing to help? Have they so much to love Germany for! And do they hope to get little more out of Germany if they dissuade France? Is it not the same Ger many over again? I do not pre- tend to see into the diplomatic sig nificance of our stand, but l hope France never rests till she extracts all that is due her. God help France in her effort to help her self. No one else will unless 1t seems livery expedient." :"

TREASJJRY'S PROGRESS

Taxpayers are interested in the progress made in the administrators economy pro- gram. Treasury officials express the hope that the government budget for the fiscal year will practically be balanced by June 30. The excess of estimated expenditures over receipts has been reduced to approxi- mately 250,000,000 and it is believed this deficit will be made up before the new fiscal year begins. Budget officers do not see any chance of marked reductions before June 30, but it is nevertheless apparent that the government is getting on sound business basis and will eventually match expendi- lures with receipts. Collections of the back taxes have been larger than anticipated. Receipts for the twelve months period may reach nearly $400, 100000 instead of S300.- 000,000, as previously estimated. Customs revenues have also increased; the treasury expects a steady inflow of imports to help there are some unexpected appropriations by congress, the treasury bids fair to make a very creditable showing, in spite of the fact that the sale of surplus war department property brought $11 100000 less than ex- pected. In view of the economic conditions that exist everywhere else in the world, and the burdens the American government as- sumed as result of the war, this favorable report from the treasury department is all the more gratifying.

that some such condition as pressure on the brain has caused the alteration. In less serious cases, it has been seen that misfit- mes in the vocational field was the cause of deficiency or dependency, which with the prescribing of remedies disappeared. Great progress has been made through scientific analysis in reducing criminality, and work of this kind is being undertaken more gen. erally all the time. One of the largest clinics for this purpose will soon be opened in Gin cinnati. The main plan of this institution is to give deficient youths a maximum oppor- tunity for development. Along every line the movement for social welfare is broaden ing out and it's benefits to the individual and to the country will be worth far more than the cost.

THE DEFECTIVE STUMBLES

With Sir Basil Thompson, former head of Scotland Yard, told the clerk of New port News hotel that his pocketbook was missing, and was equally positive that no other person had been in his room, it looked for time as if some intruder with no re- gard for the fine old traditions of Scotland Yard had made off with Sir Basil's money. But when the purse was found hidden un- der pillow by matter-of-fact chamber maid, who had probably never read Sher- lock Holmes story in her life, the hotel man.

COOPERATIVE CREAMERIES

It seems but yesterday that earnest county farm agents and the extension de- partment of the Polytechnic Institute at Auburn were preaching the foundation of a creamery industry in Alabama. Today that industry Is on a firm foundation and is growing rapidly. No farming. interest has made such strides in such short space of time. The state dairy specialist reports that "every Alabama creamery did record amount of business last year and this pro- duction record, plus the opening of new creameries and the importation of better cows, means that dairying has long since passed the uncertain or experimental stage in Alabama and that 1t is a permanent and important part of the agriculture of the state." With the twenty-two operating creameries and the ninety-two milk buying stations now operating. "every farmer has access to market for his milk and cream," says the state dairy specialist.
 There is no limit to the expansion of this industry, because dairy products may be shipped any distance. Alabama has the pastures and the climate ideal for dairying purposes. The shipping station system has brought the creameries with their cash pay ment for butterfat within reach of many farms. The industry has been built up by Alabamians on their own initiative and with their own money. That shows what can be done by those who help themselves, and especially shows what can be done through cooperative effort of city and country The city, through banks, creameries and commercial clubs, has helped the farmer secure good milking cows easy terms, and now city as well as country benefits from the new industry founded on apprecia- tion of mutual interests. Many other things may be accomplished through the exercise of the same principle.

TALKING WITH LONDON
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

It is a common remark of the de- voices of the radio: q expect to be able one of these days to sit in
 my living room and hear Paris talk" Well, the thing has been done. To be strictly faithful to the historic facts, distinguished group of electrical engineers and radio experts, sitting at New Southgate, England, have listened to an Ameri- can talking from New York. : It is not the first time the human voice has spanned the Atlantic. But it is the first time a device has been tried which makes voice transmits sion across the ocean not only pos sible, but commercially practicable.
