FREE TEST OF FERTILIZER

Alabama farmers are pleased at the prof fer of the state agricultural department to furnish free analysis of the fertilizers which they have purchased this season and which are now arriving at the farms. In circu lar letter addressed to the farmers the head of the department shows the farmer how samples of fertilizer should be taken from the bulk and prepared before being sent to the state department. The process is sim ple one and available for any farmer. It is important that fertilizers be of the quality and analysis represented, yet the largest amount is purchased "sight unseen" and the farmer has no local means of knowing whether the quality is as labeled. In times past farmers have bought fertilizers of guar anteed analysis whose results showed too late that the analysis was not correct one. With the state department offering protec- tion, there is no need to allow oneself to be deceived as to quality of the goods.
 It is just another of the factors which farmer finds he must inject into his con- duct of the business of farming if he is to realize the most profit. Purchasers of pig iron, steel and other manufactured goods demand the qualities which are specified when the order is given and tests are applied to these products at the buyers end before payment is made to see if they come up to the specifications. The farmers of the southeastern states have purchased 1,340,- 900 tons of fertilizer this season, compared with 540,000 tons last season. They should reap the full benefit of the increased use of the fertilizers by assuring their quality before putting them to service.

JUSTICE SHOULD BE PROMPT

It begins to appear that the grand jury investigating certain murders in Louisiana attributed by many to members of the Ku Klux Klan is earnestly endeavoring to ar rive at the facts, and to uncover the guilty whoever they may be. The case has attract ed wide attention and is as much test of the forces representing the law as is the Herrin investigation. Those who have been conducting the prosecution have contributed to the impression that the Mer Rouge kill ngs were the result of organized activity. The public is not primarily concerned with any intimations that may be traceable to the desire for political effect, but the public is anxious to have the guilty convicted and punished, let the trail lead where it may. The main concern is over the fact that the trail is so long, And when there is permitted so much delay there is always widening of the opportunity for the offenders to escape justice. There is desire for no snap judg- ment, but there is desire for direct course leading to fair judgment. Reasonable de- liberation is always justified, but there is always a point reached at which deliberation is altered into vacillation. When that point is reached and passed, there arises in the public mind distrust of the sincerity of the effort to obtain justice. That is the danger against which all our courts must guard.

MORE ATTENTION TO CHILDREN

That the child is the man or woman i'll the making would probably have been accepted as true thousands of years ago, but only within recent years has any practical appli- cation of that knowledge been attempted. The study of philosophy is as old as recorded language and many truths have been spoken for centuries without having been translated into terms of human benefit. The key to the modern scientific attitude towards life is that constructive effort is the basis of latterday philosophy Therefore, we are now, through the medium of what we term child welfare, conferring upon the child the attention it has long deserved. In the schools, in the home, and in public work, the mental, physical and moral development of the child has become a subject of primary interest and study and application. The child of today is the better for such atten- tion, and is growing up into better and stronger manhood and womanhood as the result
 One of the agencies having child welfare as its main object is the American Child Health Association, which is now conducting practical experiments looking to the accept
 
 chld-rearing. Already five-year experi- ment in a rural community in North Dakota has been begun. Two similar experiments are to be conducted in other parts of the United States, one of which will most cer- tainly be in some Southern state. The rural communities of the South are grad ually improving in health conditions, but, like every other section of the country, at- tention to public health has not yet been given the importance or endowment it de- serves. Perhaps it never will be given such attention as long as the present adult gener- ation has supreme charge of affairs. The hope, then, lies principally with the genera tion now growing up
 Children that have been reared among sanitary surroundings will be lifelong ene- mics of insanitary surroundings. Children that have been brought up in the knowledge of the danger of disease and how to escape it. will be confirmed adherents to a public policy of health protection. There are more such adults than there were generation ago. The number of such adults will be many times multiplied in the next genera tion. We have travelled a long distance from the point of civilization when a mon- arch could arrogantly acclaim: "The state? I am the statev' Nowadays the state is the people, and the sources through which the people are renewed and imptoved are in the children. Better the children and within few years the whole people will have been bettered The world does progress.

WHEN HARVEY IS HAPPY

(NeW 4ork WOrld}
 It is not unlikely that George Harvey's speech on the debts was, as suggested from Washington, an expression of MT. Harding's views. The speech sounds a if it might have been written by the editor of the Marion Star for the pleasure of George F. Babbitt.
 It is not the sort of thing one says in the circles where George Harvey likes best to move. He was not at his best or in his true form in that speech. But the next eve- ming at the next banquet George Harvey cariie into his own. He dld not have to discuss figures. He could discuss subject much dearer to his heart-namely, his royal highness the Price of Wales.
 Then he was magnificent. All the royal blood in his veins surged in an ecstasy of adulation. The speech, it is said, nearly wrecked the digestion of the prince, who seems to have a typical English mans horror of tosh. But it was a magnificent night, nevertheless. It showed how democratic this world is becoming when George Harvey can issue titles to the fu- ture King of England, can con- descend to him, can rub it in till it hurts and make the prince en- dure it.

MORE REPUBLICAN APOLOGY

MT. MOndell, retiring Republican speaker, defends the legislative record by saying that the house passed an average of one and a half bills day during the period of the sixty-seventh congress. Whether this rec ord is one to be proud of, however, depends upon the quality rather than the quantity of laws passed Looked at from that point of view the record is not imposing. It is very much as if a farmer were to confine him. self to his chores during the planting sea- son, and then, when the harvest time came, proudly to point to the fact that his chores had been regularly performed, oblivious to the fact that chores on farm are meaning less if there is to be no harvest.
 It may very well be that congress could average the passage of even twenty or thirty minor bills day, in order to clear the decks for more mature consideration of important measures. The general observer has the impression that congress was merely busy rather than industrious. "Much ado about nothing would be fine and fully descrip- tive title of congress- recent record. The people are not to be fooled by statements and imposing categories. They know full we'll that the house is not guiltless of hav- ing wasted it's time on minor measures in deliberate neglect of the Muscle Shoals problem. The people might have forgiven even an adverse decision, if the question

JEFFERSON co. HOLDS RECORD

z. Highest praise has been accorded the man. l.yement of the Jefferson county school ,,ostem during the past seven years. It has
 ,me from the most competent sources and aeom those who are not particularly inter-
 tied in this county or in Alabama. The ,mmendation has come from outsiders who - eve given the county schools the critical Ss.ldy of unprejudiced observers. Many
 .izens of Birmingham and Jefferson county 7 have taken pride and pleasure in what they have seen of their own eyes and know of their own personal contact. They feel re- assured in their approval of the work ac- complished in the county schools when dis
 interested experts from other states more than confirm their convictions.
 The editor of the Journal of Education, Boston, national organ devoted to the public school interests in a national way, made personal investigation of the Jeffer- son county schools In the course of com- prehensive article in that paper dealing with these schools and the system under which they have expanded, he says: Seven years ago there were but two modern school build ings for white children and many of the buildings for colored children were posi- lively indecent. Since then there have been buildings established and sixty-three first class buildings erected. For five years they have averaged new school building month for white schools. Seven years ago there was but one county high school with total enrolment of 401. Today there are sixteen county high schools with an enrolment of more than 3,200, and all but two of these have been standardized. If an increase, out side of townships of 2,000 population, of 700 per cent. in seven years, is not the rec ord, when the enrolment in high schools is more than 5000, we would like to know where it is excelled."
 Following the expansion of schools in the rural communities there have grown up de- lightful home neighborhoods. Real estate values in the vicinity of these schools have altomaticaly increased. Where one com munity has displayed the interest resulting
 in establishing modern school center the adjoining community has been stirred to emulation and has followed the good eX- ample.
 This remarkable school expansion in lief fcrson county is now happily under the same system and form of management as , during the seven years in which this re- markable expansion has been wrought. This Heads to expectation of the same degree and quality of expansion and improvement in the next seven years as has marked the seven that have produced results so benefi- cal to the children.

SHOULD PROCEED CAREFULLY

The city commission should approach the question of the one-man cars with view single to the general welfare. It should be . considered from every angle so as to ar rive at that conclusion which will most pro- mote the public convenience. Drastic pro- cedure that has not had the bedrock of tenn perate and well-considered bearings of the matter in its relation to the good of the whole community cannot bring the best re- Suts. Neither is any good to be derived lSom handling the question in such way as to lead to an impairment in schedule, factor over which the city can exercise no control. If heavier burden of expense is added to operation of electric car lines there may be resort to less frequent car schedules and higher car fares. The city has not the authority to compel certain car schedules

Writes of Tall.dega Ore.


 Writing from his winter office at paytona, Fla, Richard H. Edmonds, the distinguished editor of the Balti- more Manufacturers Record, in a letter published in today's Annis- ton Star, throws additional light upon the value and extent of the Talladega county iron ore beds. which the Manufacturers Record and the Anniston Star have urged should be included in the tests be- ing made of Alabama ores by the bureau of mines experts.
 MT. Edmonds also writes interest ingfy of Courtney DeKalb, whose letters in regard to the Talladega ores were published in the Star re- gently; MT. DeKalb's opinion on the ores in question is that of an expert, for MT. Edmonds points out he stands high in his profession of mining engineering and his coun- sel and judgment are sought by the government and by mine owners when they wish the most expert opinion.
 The inclusion of the Talladega ores in the bureau of mines tests is important to Anniston, which IS close to the deposits and can utilize them in an extensive way. MT. Ed monds' letter, like that of MT. De- Kalb, is valuable and interesting and furnishes strong arguments in favor of testing to the fullest the vast ore beds of Talladega co:lntL

immediately arrested the burgomaster and other officials of the town. One of the se- cret orders organized to obstruct and dis organize French plans in every way possi- ble is known as the "Young Germans" sev- eral of whose members have been im- prisoned. But German secret societies are said to be numerous and composed of young miners and factory workers, groups which comprise a large part of the Ruhr popula- tion. There is lively suspicion that these secret societies were organized by agents from Berlin.
 On the whole the French occupation has been characterized by moderation. Taking for comparison the plans which Germany had formulated in her occupation of France in 1871, the French forbearance is all the more emphasized. President Poincare re- gently handed to the correspondents a vol unie in the German language entitled Dip lomatic Acts, 1871 to 1914" pointing to passages in Bismarck's own words, dated August, 1871: "The quicker we move for ward the less it will cost us to retake the position occupied in February. But let France beware. A second war will be con-
 
 first, and would naturally be followed by long and rigorous occupation of consider able stretch of French territory and by Ger man administration of the same" In those days when France was prostrate after the Franco-Prussian war, the Iron Chancellor also wrote the German charge d'affaires in Paris: "If the French political situation becomes uncertain we do not think it pru- dent to await an act of aggression by France, but we will immediately proceed to the re- sumption of hostilities by mobilizing 500,- 900 men, When the Germans officially criticize French occupation, they forget the official documents in their own archives which destroy the force of their criticism by support of policy far more drastic than the one they bewail.

ALABAMA VIOLETS

NbostcH lTdnsCTlpt) Alabama Violets, Iknow that you are blowing now, And far away my soul regrets Your missing fragrance on my brow.
 As recall your blueness bright That charmed my gaze meath south ern skies,
 To memory comes the tender light That shone of old in loving eyes. Alabama Violets,
 Your beauty haunts my weary heart; For achings dull that age begets There is no balm in any art; And, Oh, ye flowers. my spirit yearns As Fancy limns your grace in vain, Yet Memory to the past returns To seek joy that's half pain.

Oh. for a new world!

Oh, for new world!
 Oh, for a. better place to breathe, and sleep, and eat and live!
 The most foolish things are some times done by the wisest.
 And yet, where would you find better world unless you gave up this life?
 And, after all, if you do not like it, that's perhaps your own fault, because there are many others that do like it, and think very highly of it. Be satisfied with the world.
 Open up your heart to the world.
 The love of the world, and the love of God, and the love of man, produce happy, and contented, and full. and satisfied life.

A RADIO w AR

A new complaint comes out of Germany. New complaints have been coming, it Is true, with great regularity, and they have been increasingly curious. The Cuno com plaint the other day that France ought to pay for her occupation of the Ruhr, where she went to collect what Germany owes her, was thought to have rung the brazen bell in all such matters. But the latest wall from beyond the Rhine is that Eiffel Tower, which happens to be in Paris, is interfering with German radio messages. High heaven should regulate this for the Germans. Ob- viously it is nconceivable to the Teuton that the powers of the air do not harken to his wall, and "straf" the presumptious Frank for playing with his still divine rights.
 It is becoming more obvious that divine right did not depart with Wilhelm. Each German radio station is invested with it. Germany alone can stay tuned up with the infinite and preempt ether routes. If the Effel Tower interferes, straf it, ye gods of the crcumambient air! According to the New York World German cabinet minister says that every time big German station starts broadcasting Die Yacht am Rhein" the Eiffel Tower station cuts in with the "Marseilaise." This member of Cuno's of- ficial family is seeking to have Russia come to Germany's aid in bombarding the Eiffel Tower out of business. It must be some what disturbing to their tempers for the Germans to have their song broken up by the French anthem and another message may be expected from Cuno in this connection. He may warn the world at large again of the danger of irritating the Germans.
