that the British do not perceive that settlement agreeable to France i, the shortest cut towards resumption of the activities that are now sus- pended by the occupation of the min eral regions of the Ruhr valley.
 A new angle of argument is pre- sented by the Dallas News in that "it might not be politically safe for the German government voluntarily to offer more than thirty billion gold marks, and yet prudent to accept a heavier obligation than that, if it had been judged a fair one by an inter- national commission" Perhaps the German government is trying to get the allies to force her to pay a heavier sum than she would volunteer lest she arouse antagonism at home but the German government would save time and expense by quietly tip ping the allied diplomats off as to that concealed purpose.
 There is no doubt that the world will run more smoothly after the Ger. man-French problem is solved, but the world refuses to wait on that eventuality, and Is moving forward while that part of Europe lags.

ACCUMULATION ADVOCATED

The anthracite miners have evolved two plans for future administration of anthracite mining, and have laid them before the coal commission. The presentation is prefaced by criti- cism of the commissions methods of fixing capital costs." The first plan provides in effect for standardization, with capital, the miners and the pub lie being equally represented in con- trol. Naturally this plan cannot be considered only with respect to it's immediate application. It must also be regarded in the light of it's influ- once as precedent to similar na- tionalization in other industry. It is the principle of standardization which is to be considered and not merely the naturalization of the anthracite mines. At present it appears that tho public is opposed to standardization, having already had sufficient demon stration of too much federal control in other lines generally regarded as fields of private enterprise.
 The other plan would make such valuation of the properties as would reduce the capital charges to figure regarded by the miners as moro equit- able to both labor and the purchasing public. There will be more public approval for the second plan, because the wealth taken by operators from the anthracite fields has not escaped public attention, nor is the public hard to persuade that exorbitant profits are the cause of the rapid increase of hard-coal prices to their present un- reasonable level. Indeed, 1t is that very situation which tho 6oal commis- sion seeks to examine and to remedy.
 The miners frankly declare their belief that their own standards of iiv- ing should be allowed to advance with the general prosperity, and of course there is no considerable portion of the American people that would dis pute the miners right to such wage as would enable them to live comfort ably, to educate their children and to save money. The public is es- pecially interested in that portion of the miners brief which indicates huge

THEY BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES

In North Alabama they are optimis- tic and have the right to be. They are practical, and they demonstrate
 the fact by putting up money for a
 promising proposition. They have
 judgment and vision. That is the req son they have backed the Muscle
 Shoals proposition from the begin ming, and have stood firmly by the proposal of MT. Ford to develop that great power into an active enterprise
 turning out needful product in quan- tity and giving employment to thou sands of men. Tuscumbia was as- signed quota of s2,5oo in subscrip- tions for the year to the work of the Tennessee Valley Association, which is sponsoring the offer of MT. Ford to develop the great property. Tuscum- bia has already raised SS,ooo, and Is still going. The people of that city and district have shown that they be- lieve in their resources, and that they have confidence in themselves. That Is the kind of spirit that wins by SCOT ing achievement that Is worth while not only for their own benefit, but for the advancement of the states in- terests, while contributing to the na- tional welfare. Tuscumbia, as . part of the rich and progressive Tennes- see Valley, is doing things that count for present upbuildlng and for future prosperity,

NO POWER MONOPOLY YET

Failure of the federal power com mission to consider the application of the Alabama Power Company for per mission to develop power at Lock IT on the Warrior was perhaps partly in recognition of popular disapproval of. this undertaking throughout Ala bama. The strong protest made by members of the Alabama delegation in congress, by the Tuscaloosa cham Der of commerce and others made it very clear to the commission that the question was one that needed more study than the commission had to date given it. There was lacking also for the information of the commission the special report of General Beach on the project as affecting naviga- tion on the Warrior, and there was no Endorsement of the application by tho Alabama state commission. Thus it appears that the federal commis- sion is inclined to work in harmony with the states in solving these power problems and in protecting the public interest.
 There is wide public opposition to the unhindered development of mo- nopoly by the power company, and to the expansion of the political power such a monopoly would encourage. Congressman Allgood says: "The Alabama Power Company Is at tempting not only to monopolize the water power resources of this state, but also to monopolize the gas, cleo tric lighting and street railway fran chises in all our towns and cities. The perfection of It's plans will re- move all competition and will build up political and corporate machine dangerous to the welfare of the peo- pie of this state" This Is not an out come that the people of this state can contemplate with complacence. h. deed, it is feared by the people of this state that the success of such program would be inimical to the public welfare and would, place the government of this state at the mercy of corporation. It is a culmination that must not come to pass, and that must be halted now.
 It is pointed out by those who op- pose the application that Lock IT is key position to new field of power, and that the power company does not presently need it, having, according to MT. Allgood, already two undevel- oped units at Mitchell Dam which would supply far more power than Lock IT. The power company has other undeveloped sites which it should either surrender or else develop, with out seeking new sites. especially such sites as would deeply affect the suc- cess of other important projects in this state, including Muscle Shoals and its attendant enterprises. The people of this state are gratified at the alertness of their congressman, and add their voice to the appeal for deferment of the applications con- cerned.

death. As reward for his fearless ness he was thrown into prison for the duration of the war.
 When the war ceased, however, and Ferdinand was deposed Stamboulisky was summoned from his cell to assume the premiership and to form a new government. He was on good terms with Boris. apparently, and had pro- jected an American tour with that monarch, for whom he advocated an American wife. The allied diplomats held Stamboulisky in high regard and considered him a firm friend of the powers working for Europe's recon struction. Many stories, however, are told of his excesses while in office, and of his somewhat informal treat ment of public funds. The Bulgari ,n press has printed much in his dis favor. Some disbelief in such tales is indicated by the fact that the pres ent government has warned the news papers of Bulgaria to print no more untrue stories of Stamboulisky. That order should be sufficient ground for believing that some stories were delib- erately manufactured to discredit the peasant premier and to win for him a bad reputation among the people.
 Stamboulisky now is dead, and it is for his successors to prove whether they are any more fit for the task than he whom they affected to scorn and despise. Among his people he is perhaps even now regarded as a mar tyr, and his name will doubtless go down in history as one of Bulgaria S long list of mistreated heroes.

sEAPoRT's VALUE TO ALABAMA

There is still noted here ana Jnere some comment indicating the belief that the development of Alabama's s seaport is for the benefit of Mobile. No opinion could be more misleading. The seaport is merely the assembling point for the surplus goods of the state, and the point of entry for the imports the state must have. The benefit Is statewide, and Mobile s share of the benefit is comparatively very small The benefit operates in a number of ways, but eventually it reaches everybody. In the first place, the influence of the port is felt in a general reduction of transportation rates. This has been shown to affect in some degree every shipping point in the state, no matter how remote from the waterway or port. Its total sav- ing to the people and industries of Alabama amounts to several millions a year.
 In the second place, low rates from industrial centers to seaport enable Alabama products to compete in world markets. This advantage affects not only products of the mills, but also those of the field and farm. All over Alabama new industries are springing up to convert raw materials into mer- chantable commodities. Before many years the value of the surplus will greatly exceed the value of the con sumption within this state. Inasmuch as this strong position depends pri- rlariIy upon the strategic advantage given by the port and its influence upon cost of transportation, it follows that Alabama's growing wealth is in part the gift of the port, an asset per ceived by our forefathers when they extended that tongue of territory to embrace Mobile Bay within the confines of this state.
 Although there is projected ex- penditure for the port development of not to exceed ten million dollars, it is a demonstrable fact that the facilities will be worth many times that sum in 
 actual cash returns to the state through increased taxable values aris- ing out of the production stimulated by port influence. The old Dutch farmers of Pennsylvania used to build their barns before they built their houses on the theory: "Build your barn and your barn will build your house." meaning that the protection thus afforded by the barn to the har vest would bring in cash from pro ducts that would otherwise be lost. The situation is similar in Alabama with respect to the seaport. The in creased prosperity and public revenues arising directly therefrom will build us adequate schools, roads and other public necessities far beyond our pres ent anticipations. It is Alabama's ] seaport, that is to say, Alabama's in- dispensable adjunct to her mounting prosperity.

an intestine I recall one of Bill Yves stories. He was slumbering and snoring on railroad train when the conductor rudely awak- ened him and. admonished him against disturbing the other pas sengers. "Who told you I was snoring?" Wye demanded to know. "I heard you, myself" retorted the conductor, whereupon the hu- morts advised: don't you know that you must not believe every thing you hear?" Good advice 1t was for this day. Do not believe all you hear. but take time to think out things along principles and ascertain the truth about them.
 The hardest thing for a man to do is to convince himself that he Is wrong; the easiest, to convince himself that he Is right. Throw off the restraint of principle. de- stroy the yardsticks of life. re- lease the minds of individuals. and we will have some queer opinions, honestly formed, as to right and wrong. The Anglo Saxon who lives in the mountains Is a God-fearing and religious man, but he writes his own com mandments; he determines his own conduct. The feud is not murder to the feudist. but self defense; he can kill his enemy. hold family worship, and go to dreamless sleep. Men with such an outlook can set up little gov ernments within the American government. become a law unto themselves, imagine they owe al- legiance to something other than the constitution and the laws, and yet regard themselves as patri- otic citizens. What Is written Is written for their enemies; 1t is not written for them. This would create turmoil enough in society but the end Is not yet. The as- sumption of right to govern their own conduct carries no con cession of a like right to others. Anything they do not like is con- demned by them in solemn con- vocation. Quite recently two girls were suspended from college. for smoking cigarettes. whether the suspension was justifiable or not I do not presume to say. do not know and it Is none of my busi- ness Whose business was 1t. save the girls, their parents and that of the officials of the institution? But students of another college circulated a round robin and con- demned the officials who sus- pended the girls. Their methods were characterized as autocratic, dictatorial and Victorian. I can not refrain from expressing the wish in passing that some of the students who signed tho round robin would emulate the conduct of Queen Victoria rather than sheer at 1t. I allude to tho incl dent merely to call attention how pure democracy is beginning to

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

"The Good Old Days" is the title of an editorial in a Missouri news paper, which declares that there never was time when some did not long for them. True. The imagination has a wonderful talent for taking on additional glow as it penetrates the realms of the past. In every commit nifty may be found one or more el- derly persons who are never prepared to admit that any capers the mercury may cut up or down the tube can ap- proach it's vagaries in the summer of '49 or the winter of '53. Things have changed according to those who men tally turn back the hands of time. They sometimes point with scorn to abbreviated skirts, peroxide and rouge; but seem to have forgotten about bustles, wigs and beauty-spots. Time and again the present genera tion is warned against the speed with which 1t is proceeding to perdition,. and one of the favorite arguments is the depressing failure of modern mar riage to bring forth perfect happi- ness. Divorce statistics do sometimes give this impression; but in the so- called Good Old Days" parties to the compact seemed to learn how to grin and bear it, rather than to rush into the courts for separation, alimony al.d the like.
 Our contemporary, however, intro duces some evidence that seems to have been overlooked for some time, but throws light on the domestic fe- licity situation of that exalted period. It is in the form of. clipping from tho Indianapolis Gazette of Septem- Der 20, 1925, and is entitled "Matri- monial Statistics" Among other things 1t asserted that "only five mar ried persons out of a hundred thou sand are truly happy" There is no way of verifying this statement, since it applies to conditions "away back" but there is reason to believe that modern married life would show higher favorable percentage. Mar riage these days may not be "one long sweet song," as a distinguished presi- dent of the United States declared soon after he won the heart and hand of . celebrated beauty and settled down to life of connubial, if not of- ficial, bliss. But the point is that if only five out of & hundred thousand drifted smoothly on the matrimonial sea these days, 1t Is hard to believe that so many would defy the prospects of a squall and accept the advice to "come on in, the waters fine." The truth is, there is much glamor thrown around "The Good Old Days" ac- cording to ones retrospective powers. A wise student of history concluded that the world is better now than it was away back wonder; for he read that the first man born into the world murdered the second, his own brother, and that was going quite far back, too.
