AUDITORIUM
Governor Pays. Tribute to HUI
man Qualities Carried Into
IS Office by Harding
SOUGHT TO s.ERy E

Hundreds of Bismarck citizens
gathered yesterday afternoon at the
city Auditorium in, an impressive
memorial service to the late Presi-
dent Warren g. Harding. The stage
was draped III a huge American flag,
palms were placed on the; stage and
in the forefront was large picture
Of President Harding draped in black.
Governor. R. A.. Nestoss delivered
the memorial address, reviewing the
life of President Harding, his aims
and ambitions and particularly his
achievements in two and q. half years
in the Presidents chair.
Among the accomplishments of
Mr.. Harding he listed the Washing
ton conference on. the limitation OF
naval ornaments which resulted in
an agreement of the leading nations
to cut down the number. Of their
fighting ships, the Pacific treaty
progress toward abolition Of the Il
hour day in the steel industry, intro
duction Of the budget in the conduct
OF, the business of the government,
laws enacted to aid agriculture and
his insistence upon respect for law
and order, particularly his firm stand
for enforcement of the prohibition
laws.
Tribute was paid to the late Pres
ident, he said, because of his fine
qualities and because of his great
love of the American people. his good
will, friendliness toward them and
his belief in his duty to render them
service. President Harding won ad-
miration' through possessing. the
common Qualities of goodness that
ought to be found in all citizens, he
said. He praised his friendship, his
understanding of human nature and
said that "he walked along from day
to day as an honest, earnest man
striving to the best of his ability
to serve the people,"
In future years, he said. people
will look back upon President Har-
ding and find that he was actuated
by good will in all his actions, by q
| genuine spirit of friendliness and
kindness.
Continued Respect
Many who disagreed bitterly with
the Presidents policies on occasions
never failed to continue their respect
and regard for him because. ,,of thu
great human qualities he possessed.
President Harding, he said, realized
that his mission in office was tt
attempt to restore a war-torn nation
To do this he did as Lincoln did
surrounded himself with the ables
men he could find, men who in III
past had outshone him in the publi'
eye, but the President was willing &
submerge himself in an effort to giy'
the country the benefit of the bcs
advisers he could get. He mentioned
that President Harding had for thu
first time invited the Vice-presiden'
to sit in cabinet meetings, and added
that the wisdom of this was now real
lied in that Calvin Coolidge will have
had the benefit of intimate associa
ton and participation in the great
problems of the nation.
He read an extract from recent
/! speech by the President in which he
appealed for more of the Christ spirit
throughout the world, and also hi
firm stand for the enforcement o.
the laws.

VALUABLE ROAD COMPLETED

Y Completion of a modern paved high way between Birmingham and Besse- aner, which was recently opened for traffic, is another step in community progress. Heretofore motor traffic had to detour over a bad stretch of road to use the part which had been paved. With that inconvenience re- moved, there will be considerable economy of time and cost, and closer commercial and social relations be- tween the two cities will be estab- lished. The cost of the highway be- tween two neighboring cities with so many mutual interests is more than justified by the benefits to both. The wonder is why this pressingly needed improvement was not made long ago.

PUTTING IDLE LAND TO WORK

Conservation for the South Is the concern of a conference recently held in New Orleans. Conservation is a word which has almost lost it's mean ing because it has been used so often in connection with much talk and little action. Nevertheless, when translated into more concrete terms it has deep and essential significance for this sec ton of the United States. The con- ference is discussing ways and means to utilize the South's innumerable idle acres. The plan assumes two aspects. One is of reforesting those areas not lending themselves easily to tillage. The other is of bringing in farmers to build homes and clear and culti- vate the eutover lands.
 The part to be played by the fed eral government in this program is one that is defended by pointing to the federal record in developing at much expense the dry areas in the West, which are now under irrigation. In spite of the cost of irrigation pro- jects, there is satisfactory return to the government in the way of revenues arising out of the wealth and pro- ductivity thus brought into being. Those who advocate similar appropria- ton in the South find themselves in the impregnable position of being able to demonstrate still greater return from 8 much smaller public invest ment. Our cutover pine areas will reseed themselves to pine, if properly protected, while the per acre expense of reducing stump lands to cultivation is exceedingly low in comparison with ground-stumping expense in the North west, and on the Pacific slopes.
 Governor Parker of Louisiana rec ommends selective immigration with a special view to bringing in skilled farmers from Europe to fill up the idle lands. That plan is repugnant to those who object to further introduc- tion of the foreign element at this OlllAC' AHueGuy IueT6 IS reason to be- lieve that proper financing of pros pective farmers would bring thousands of American and Canadian farmers as well as other thousands back from the cities whither they have gone i'm pelled by the urge of necessity and the prospect of good wages. It would be necessary to provide some sort of agency whereby suitable financial ar- rangement could bs made to meet the cost of clearing, fencing, equipping and stocking farms. The supervision of agricultural experts to guide the be- ginnerS and prevent them from mak- ing costly mistakes would form part or the program. The potentialities of the project are so full of promise as to deserve the best thought of busi- ness men of the South. It's success would mean an additional and perma- nent prosperity to the entire section concerned.

R " E R TR FIG DEMANDS SOLUTION
(Kansas City Starl

Out of the revival of interest in river traffic ought to come, with out prolonged delay, definite plan for development of Missis- sippi Valley waterways. This sec- tion of the country Is peculiarly fortunate in the potential traffic resources of its rivers. To allow these resources to lie idle much longer, in view of the vital need of transportation at 8 lower cost, would be tremendous blunder.
 One thing is certain just now. The Middle West cannot depend longer upon the habitual dilatory tactics of congress for its river improvements program. If con- gress must have vital share in the work, then there ought to be concerted effort among agricul- tural and commercial agencies, to- gether with representatives from this region, to the end that con- gress shall act decisively in ths matter. If there should be a way out without the aid of congress, then so much the better.
 Tho head of the international and coastwise waterways service, Col. T. Q. Ashburn. has proposed plan for development and use of the nations waterways without annual appropriations from con- gress. Colonel Ashburn would have the job accomplished by a corporation created by congress and given powers to promote wa ter transportation and to foster and preserve in full vigor both rail and water transportation, The plan would involve a ten mill lion dollar bond issue by the treas ury department and the issue of common stock. of which the ma Jorlty would be held by tho gov ernment. Then there is the plan proposed by Carl J. Baer of St. Louis for immediate traffic on the rivers through use of a novel craft not dependent either on govern ment aid or extensive river i'm! provements.
 What is the way out7 Surely. it may be found. Determined inves- tigatlon of the plans suggested ana or others that may be pro- posed will do the work.

EXTENDING LIBRARY SERVICE

Knowledge IS the toundatlon or eA- fieiency, enrichment and power; lg~ norance the foster parent of lneftl- ciencv. poverty and weakness. Knowl- edge is the fruit of education and training; ignorance the product of neglect. Such suggestions are apropos of the wisdom of the Jefferson County Board of Revenue in it's unanimous response to appeals from school off cials and members of the Birmingham library commission for an appropri- ation of ten thousand dollars for rural school libraries in the county. The board expressed hearty sympathy with the project, and wished 1t every sue cess, as evidenced by the grant of the sum asked for.
 This will prove one of the best in- vestments the board ever made. While the amount is small as compared with the pressing and growing needs, it will provide a valued nucleus on which to build, and will establish foundation for supplementary education among children of the rural schools that will be of great future benefit. That ten thousand dollars will be as seed from which a large harvest may be gath cred in the form of intellectual stlmu- Jus and inspiration not only for the direct benefit of those who read the books, but by all who come within the sphere of their endeavors.
 Hundreds of bright and promising children in the rural schools are hun gry for reading matter. A large part of their education and training for more efficient service should come from that source. Members of the library commission who recently went to one of the rural schools to distrib- ute reading matter were no less sur prised than gratified to note the keen desire for books among the children Since the supply was exhausted before all were served, some of the pupils were so disappointed, it is said, they left in tears.
 The Birmingham library board IS doing d practical, constructive work in the advancement of education and, through it, in the improvement of standards of efficiency and citizenship and the increase of prosperity and con- tentment throughout this community. That work is so unselfish in it's pur- poses, so helpful in it's influences and so far-reaching in it's effects upon all the people as to make strong appeals to the public for such sympathetic CO., operation and practical support, in- eluding modern and adequate library building, as the enterprise has earned on its merits and it's record.

TRUTH COMING OUT
(Washington Postl

The United States coal commits sion's investigation of the anthra- cite industry and trade shows that 25 per cent. of the tonnage is be- ing sold to the, consumer at pre- mium prices and that as much as s1.75 profit has in recent weeks been taken. These figures are based on an investigation that, it is stated, is being obstructed by wholesale dealers who try to with hold facts.
 The commission charges this ex- cessive profit taking to operators or to wholesale dealers or to both classes. With this to go on. the public is able to see that it is be- ing exploited by commercial greed that invites both indignation and punishment.
 The commission is rendering the public helpful service by inform ing 1t as to excessive prices in tho coal trade. Consumers should be given all the facts as to those who are profiteering on their needs. Let the truth be brought out. Public opinion will do the rest.

elections, that the other parties have not made serious efforts to that end, and that, therefore, little was accom- plished
 The Kansas City Times recently said: "The new proposals are for the public ownership of those indus tries and means of transportation, the possession of which by the groups now denounced give them the unjust ad- vantage complained of. That is to say, this advantage is to be transferred from economic groups to political groups. That is what public owner ship of railroads and natural resources means. Of all forms of special privi- lege the most unjust and the most op- pressive is political privilege, the privi- lege exercised by those entrenched in government in city, state and nation The new party organizers, who are or ganizing because they cannot control the political powers already in exist ence propose at stroke to enlarge the political power of government beyond anything ever attempted or dreamed of in the history of the government" :"
 Only by wide stretch of the imagi- nation can such plan be regarded as an effective remedy for the evil com plained of. The plan contemplates setting up a special privilege which is fraught with greater danger than forms now in existence. Such a pro- gram would mean larger abuses of government through the increase of political power more or less harmful in its application. Politicians, many of them of the professional type, would thus have to be relied on to direct these great powers. The pro- posed program of the Farmer-Labor move is no less dangerous than illogi- cal.

DAUPHIN ISLAND

The sale of Dauphin Island to East ern capitalists is an event that may be of significance in Alabama's devel- opment. This island lies just off the coast in Mobile county, and Hanks the mouth of Mobile channel on the wesr. It is one of the long barrier-reef group which forms the outer boun- dary of the Mississippi Sound and is the seaward protection of the inland channel, which it Is proposed at some time to canalize from Pensacola to Galveston, and perhaps further. The island is twelve miles long, narrow, wooded and inhabitated at the east end, but narrowing down to a low sand pit towards the west. It affords opportunity for landlocked harbor and channel to be formed by dredging, and has long been regarded as a logical point for an outside coaling depot. Whether this is the plan contemplated by the new owners is not yet definitely known, but it is well for Alabamians to be aware of it's potentialities.
 The favorable aspect of Dauphin Island as pleasure resort has ap- pealed to all who have visited it, but there never has been sufficient money expended there on amusements, sports, hotels and other conveniences and in transportation to attract tourists and sojourners in large numbers. Yet the beach and surf-bathing on the Gulf side of the island are praised by all who are acquainted with them. There are at least ten miles of such beach. The north side of the island is pro- tected on the south by a long, high sand dune dividing the beach proper from the wooded portion. This dune has doubtless served many times as a dyke to protect the inhabitants from being swept away, or at least from the full fury of the occasional hurricane. That it's protection has been effective is proved by the fact that the inhabi- tants have weathered many a storm in safety, and that there are old men still living there who were born there. There are fig trees that reach back beyond the memory of the oldest. h. dian pottery and sherds are plentiful in the shell banks on the north side. Grants Pass and the waters along Little Dauphin are the jousting-ground of the king tarpon and the eager fish erman. The waters abound with other fish of every coastal variety. In the sound waters are taken the rich hauls of shrimp and oysters that, under our new conservation laws, are making wealth for Golden and Bayou la Batre and awakening them into great ac- tivity.
 The purchasers of Dauphin Island have property capable of being de- veloped both commercially and as a resort that will be sure to have wide appeal in winter and in summer. If this development does take place. it Will add greatly to Alabama's invita- tlon to the rest of the United States.
