A NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL

Secretary Denby has ordered a court of naval inquiry to sit in judg- Inaent on the recent disaster off the Pacific coast in which seven destroy CTS ran aground and were lost, and two others narrowly escaped a similar fate. Eleven officers are named in the order for trial, although, as the
 secretary explains, the trial will fur ,nish an opportunity for the innocent to clear themselves as well as for the guilty, if any, to meet just sentence. The excuses given by witnesses for the disaster are the. dense fog that prevailed, the inaccurate radio direc- tions, and conflicting cross currents carrying the fleet out of it's course. Against this there has not been ex- plained why the vessels were navigat- ing such dangerous channel in fog at such an excessive and reckless speed as twenty knots an hour, nor why seven destroyers should pile on the rocks before warning was given.
 The public is glad that the facts are to be established as far as may be, in order that the causes leading to this greatest naval disaster in peace time in our history may be discovered.

ROADS AS COMMUNITY LINKS

With optimistic and practical sug- gestion the Florence Times of recent date published an editorial from which the following extract is taken: "The Tri-Cities are glad indeed to hear of the movement being undertaken by the leading men of Moulton, Double Springs and points in that territory toward establishing highway connec- tions with the Muscle Shoals and Bir- mingham districts. The people of this section would be delighted to be in better touch with those of Lawrence, Winston and Walker counties, and 70 have decent means of highway com munication with the states metropo- lis, and they certainly hope that the fullest measure of success will attend the efforts of these gentlemen"
 A movement of that kind properly supported with the purpose of con. venient communication between the sections named is worth while. Law renee, Winston and Walker counties l are fertile and productive. They of

PUBLIC INQUIRY IS PROPER

Decision of the city commission to investigate publicly the serio u 5 charge made by the president of a city bank against the city comptroller is entirely proper. It is a source of surprise to tke public that such policy was not adopted at ths outset and before all sorts of rumorc were spread broadcast in connection with the case.
 Whenever secrecy surrounds such incidents, and inquiries are held by the authorities behind closed doors, there are certain to be many rumors and much suspicion in the public mind. That was demonstrated of late in the Banner mine situation. Not only ss the reputation of the comptroller at stake, as he declares, but also indi- rectly the duty of the city commission, which is under obligation fully and openly to clear up the whole matter and give the public the facts. This is fair and just to the comptroller, to the one making the charge, to the commission and to the people whose funds are involved. If there has been no wrongdoing, the comptroller is en- titled to a public vindication. If, on the other hand, the charge is sus- tained by the evidence, secrecy could be of no public advantage and could not serve the public interest.

A QUESTION OF INCOME

During consideration by the city commission of the request from mem- bers of the police and fire depart ments for increased pay, Chief of Po- lice McDuff called attention to the fact that in 1910, when Birmingham nopulation was something like seventy thousand less than it is today, the city employed two hundred and thirty po- ficemen as against one hundred and eighty at present. This suggests that the force now on duty must render more efficient service if the people are to have an equal measure of pro lection, In 1910 the street traffic problem was much smaller than ltels today. because motor vehicles were comparatively few in number at that time. The heavy increase in traffic has introduced the need for large ad- ditional protection, not to speak ot many more needs arising from the growth of population and increase ot business activities.
 Without going into the merits of claims from the police for increased compensation, and aside from the economies to proper-owners resulting from an adequate fire department, the question of additional pay for both these departments is so closely asso- ciated with the application of the budget that the matter of larger reve- nues must be carefully considered. In 4bis connection the question arises whether the city commission is doing everything within it's power legally and properly to discover sufficient revenues to meet those increasing de- mands for efficient service which are commensurate with the municipallty's growth. One of the commissioners was on the right track when he de- dared that the time has come for Bir- mingham to readjust it's income; that the city is growing out of all propor- lion to it's collections for necessities, and that steps must be taken towards ways and means to obtain for the city an income adequate for its needs.
 Again the question, is there evi- dence that this is being done? Is all of the revenue which is justly and legally due the city being collected? Therein lies in no small measure solu- ton of the problem to provide the funds necessary to meet the public needs.

pR. CHARLES P. sTEINMETZ

In the death of Dr. Charles P. Stein- metz the world loses one of its great est geniuses, who contributed much to the development of the electrical science. With the exception of Thomas A. Edison, Dr. Steinmetz was perhaps the worlds foremost electri- elan in the field of application to the solution of practical problems. At the time of his death he was working on a theory to make electricity the uni versal fuel power of America. A few months ago he invented miniature thunder and lightning which was con- sidered one of his masterpieces, and which directed the attention of the scientific world to possibilities to which the electrical science may be extended. Dr. Steinmetz was math- ematician of international reputation, and the author of many valuable works on electrical and other scien- tific subjects. The world has greatly profited by the constructive genius of men who are contributing so much to the advancement of science in it's practical application. An observant historian once remarked that it is a pity that when a great genius passes away he cannot leave his brain with it's fruits to be utilized by lesser lights who remain. Such may be said of this distinguished scientist who did much for the betterment of mankind and for the advancement of civilization.

SAFEGUARDING STATE HIGHWAYS

The arguments of those who con- tended for the substitution of small highway commission in place of the larger political and unwieldy body are vindicated by the results already achieved by the smaller body created by the legislature. One of the first acts of the new commission was the rejection of bids for gravel roads, on the ground that such construction had been costing too much money. The contract for the gravel highway across Lowndes county let last Tuesday calls for a cost of less than ten thousand dollars mile, or several thousand dollars under prices previously paid for similar construction. The organ ization of the board into three depart- ments has already resulted in greater efficiency.
 In calling upon the recent legisla- ture for the creation of smaller and more efficient commission, The Age Herald repeatedly cited the state and federal highway now under construc- tion across Shelby county as an ex- ample of the large commissions in- attention to details and ignorance of actual conditions. The report of Com missioner Scruggs showing that the specifications with respect to the foun- dation of this highway have been changed without the authority of the commission and that an inferior filler is being used on the base course indi- cates that the example chosen by The Age-Herald was not without point. It is alleged that the alteration in speci- fications was made with the approval of the engineers in charge, but with out the knowledge or authority of the highway commission, which under the law is the only authority competent to approve such alteration. What Commissioner Scruggs has discovered was open for any one to discover, but the fact remains that he did it in pur- suance of his duties as commissioner of construction.
 The situation with respect to the Shelby county highway seems not such as to reflect credit upon the engineers in authority. The type of roadway now being built, an asphalt surface on macadam base, demands above all that the foundation be firmly bound, and yet the foundation is the very part of the construction that has been exposed to inferiority of ma terial. The incident should serve to show the people of Alabama that un- less their highway commission is alert to every detail of construction the public interest is bound to suffer. Fortunately, it appears that the com missioners in charge of highways are conscientiously performing their duty and seeking to safeguard the public welfare with respect to such items as seem hitherto to have been neglected.

-- BROOKHART AS CANDIDATE

The case of Senator Brookhart of Iowa is of more than statewide in- terest because the rest of the country, after following him in the voluminous printed word which carried many cu- rious theories and startling sugges- tions, has been wondering whether Iowa will retain him in the upper house of congress. Brookhart has been serving the unexpired term of Senator Kenyon, who resigned to go on the federal bench, and will run for renomination for a six-year term. There are few senators who have at tracted so much attention through radical views and extravagant utter ances as has Brookhart. He breaks out at frequent intervals with indis- criminate charges against railroads, capital, so-called predatory interests, plutocrats and the like that has long furnished fuel for demagoguism. Dis tor'ted truths and visions mark many of his speeches and interviews. To some much of his talk and some of his attitudes recall the familiar quotation 'The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spec tators."
 Since Brookhart's senatorial encum- bency he appears to have lost in popu- lar estimation in Iowa, which has a history of pretty clear thinking, and has never taken much stock in isms growing out of extreme tendencies. He does not seem to represent Iowa sentiment. There is a perceptible manifestation of resentment in that state over the reputation which he has given it. His election in the first place is explained oy the fact that the farmers were suffering more or less severely from the effects of over-pro- duction and ready to believe those who promised them relief.
 Since then natural causes have brought considerable relief to the far mers of Iowa, and still more is prom ised through rate adjustments, CO., operative marketing and adoption of better business methods in production and distribution. While many far mers have been fooled from time to time politically, that becomes harder year after year, because the farmers are doing a good deal of their own thinking, and are growing more sus- picious about political promises on the approach of elections. It now looks as if the farmers of Iowa have been fed up on bizarre theories and meth ods, most of which have proven to DC political buncombe, and that before the senatorial primaries in that state they will be ready for change to something more conducive to practical results.

 If it was wrong and unconstitu- tional for public officials to draw two salaries, and the legislature has shown that in its Judgment 1t was, then the last one of them should be made to cover 1t all back into the treasury. We say made to do it. for we all know not one of them will do 1t volun- tarily. There can be no greater moral crime than for an official of the state to violate and disre- gard the mandates of the consti- tuition, for the last one of them take oath to support and enforce it before they take office.

Should Know Alabama

(Oneonta Southern Democrat)
 Our school boys and girls are not being taught enough about the resources of Alabama. The brief sketches given in our ge- ographies are not sufficient. There ought to be a textbook com- piled on Alabama resources, giv- ing in detail the natural resources, the adaptability of the soil to the production of certain crops and the advantages offered for manu- featuring industries. Our chil- dren need to know Alabama, and when they know it they will ap- preciate 1t more. Let some one write such book filled with con- crete facts and then let that book be included in the regular course of study in our public schools.
