UNITE AND WIN!

With respect to the Warrior barge service the secretary of the Birming ham traffic bureau has stated the sit uation correctly for the shippers when he says: "It is now for us a matter of self-protection." That is exactly that it is The shippers need to pro- tect themselves against the very man agement of the MississippiWa Warrior service, because that management has shown itself far more solicitous re- garding the welfare of the Mississippi ard the port of New. Orleans than it has regarding the welfare of the War Tor and the territory 1t serves. un- doubtedIy failure earlier to realize the urgency of the situation ard the dan ger to the Warrior is due to the in- credibility of the official performances of the past few weeks.
 Barge service is being curtailed on the Warrior, and the patronage that has been so carefully built up by un- remitting and painstaking effort is be- ing ruthlessly swept away by deliber- ate ukase of those charged with the responsibility of developing and not hindering this business. Therefore, it is indeed time for the shipping in- terests of Birmingham and of inter- vening ports along the waterway to Mobile to unite in definite program of demand first for the immediate restoration of the discontinued ser vice. The second step is to bring defi- mite and unremitting pressure to bear upon the Interstate Commerce Con- mission to rectify at once and without further spacious delays the intolerable imposition of the railroads upon the waterways.
 It is well to emphasize, both with the waterway management and with | the federal commerce commission, that Htheir primary concern is not the in-
 erest of the railroads but of the pub ic which employs them. The public honey has been expended upon the Warrior to the amount of thirteen and half million dollars, and this money, under the present system of rate di- visions, is actually so administered as to produce a revenue for the railroads at the expense and to the detriment of the Warrior! And when the off cials charged with responsibility in the premises are called. upon to act, after n-.ch and unexplained delay, they re- sl ond by curtailing the service of the waterway.
 The conference here today and to- morrow represents the transportation service of this territory with it's back to the wall, fighting off the adverse results of management which should have done everything possible to favor this territory. If it is inevitable that a fight must ensue, let it come now before irreparable damage has been done, and before the federal govern laent is forced to withdraw its support from an unprofitable field, unprofit- able because it's just and fair treat ment is withheld. United effort will xsin the contest

JEWISH LAUGHS
A Hint to the Wise

A Russian officer was instruct ing a company of recruits most of whom were peasant boys. For an hour he was teaching them the art of saluting and the abstruse science of the various and sundry forms of greetings to the different officers Now he was featuring to them on the first rudiments of drilling.
 You must all stand straight in line" the officer told the new men, who were staring at him with profound veneration. and when I say one. two, three start to march, left foot first. Now, is that clear enough?'
 "Tak totchno,' roared the green troopers.
 Now. one''-
 No sooner did the officer pro- nounce the word lone" than a Jewish recruit started to march.
 Hey, hey," believed the off cer. Stop there! Didn't I tell you that I must first say one. two, three'?"
 T beg your pardon, sir" said the Israelite. But you see. all these fellows are a bunch of idiots; they must wait till you say 'three;' but I understood what you meant as soon as you said one.

The sturdy golfer hastena forth be-
 heath unsullied skies To knock the little pellet high and far
 and otherwise. And if you ask him why he plays And dodges work on balmy days
 He hems and haws
 And says: Because I need the exercise" It is a noble exercise to tramp the
 fields of green And feel the inspiration of a sweet
 bucolic scene,
 And make the flabby muscles toll Upon the moist and springy soil,
 And breathe the air
 Where skies are fair And all is fresh and clean It puts the golfers creaking joints and sinews into trim And fills his crimson corpuscles with vigor, verve and vim, But though his frame is strong and stout
 The golfer never plays without
 A caddy, frail And weak and pale, Who bears his load for him.

Need for Demonstrator

It Is unfortunate. indeed, that Etowah county has no farm dem- onstrator at this time. The spring Is very late. the season Is unfa- vorable. and the boil weevil must be reckoned with again this year. The Journal. for one, believes it is poor economy to be without such an official. The Journal also believes that it would pay tho county to get one of the very best and most experienced agents to be found. The results will be greater under such a one than they would be with an inexpe- rienced man.

Our criminal dockets are clut. tered with cases against negroes for violating the prohibition laws. Of course the negro frequently has a white man as an accomplice. but in numerous cases he is "in business for himself" Bootleg- ging and the illicit traffic in li- quor is the crime that now gets the colored brother into most of his troubles. Some day he will learn the suicidal folly of turning his attention to such a dangerous business and he will quit 1t.

It was only ten days after his wedding and the harsh father-in- law told him to move out of the house.
 And what about your promise to give me ten years board and lodging?" expostulated the disap- pointed benedick, who had sacri- ficed beauty and romance for the sake of comfort.
 My promise" replied the heart less father-in-law nonchalantly, has already been fulfilled. For does not the Bible somewhere say "A day for a year? and I am a firm believer in the holy Bible"

 "Childlessness." explained the plaintiff calmly. "I have lived with her ten years without having any issue from her and, according to the Hebrew law, I am in duty bound to divorce her"
 Ten years!' exclaimed the de- fendant's father with a diabolic sheer. Are you crazy? Isn't 1t only ten days since you are mar | ried?"

Schools md Taxes

As to the matter of raising taxes. we do not believe this will follow the, issuing of $200,0oo, or if it is it will be light. But as- suming that taxes would be- in- creased. it does not follow /that those now paying taxes will bear the extra burden for the simple reason that cities whose schools are adequate to meet more than the demands of the locality h which they are, attract people with families to make those cities their homes and thus increase the number of people to pay taxes. thus distributing the tax pay ments among moro people and really lessening the burden upon the individual taxpayer.

Revenge on Ones Self


 Economic pressure and political oppression of the Jews in the Diaspora produced among them a class of individuals known as "mosrim" or "squealers."
 Their business was to inform the police of any wrong doing or violation of law that occurred among their co-religionists. The hatred of the "mosrim" toward their own brethren was proverbial for many centuries.
 There is a story of "moser" in the city of Minsk, who was flogged by the local police for a crime he had committed.
 After the flagellation the squealer was discovered standing in corner and chuckling heartily. Why so happy?" asked an ac- quaintance who had witnessed the penalty.
 T am glad that Jew has been flogged," replied the aching fel- low.
 Why were you screaming. then, when you were flogged?" asked the friend.
 "Becase I hated to see a Jew having so much satisfaction" re- piled the informer.
