POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS By Frederick Houk Law

In New York City three great hotels, founded by D. Ogden Mills, mark sincere effort, made by a man who himself was once a poor clerk. to improve the conditions of the honest worker. In those hotels it is possible for one who has the smallest amount of money to spend to obtain a room and food for a surprisingly little sum. Furthermore, the surroundings are not only clean and neat, but arc also beautiful. The worker who has little to live on can here find comfort. The establishment of these three great hotels is a monu- ment to the originality of D. Og- den Mills. and to his deep desire to help men to lift themselves through their own efforts.
 Darious Ogden Mills was born In New Salem, New York, a tiny little hamlet in the\ hills west of Albany. There he breathed in with the country aim that person. ality and power that so many of the worlds greatest men have found in country surroundings. AA~ Af1e CA itotCi III any CllY Tn the United States will show that a very great proportion of them are of country birth. From his child hood surroundings, therefore, Da- rious Mills gained a sense of self reliance, and an originality that enabled him to make a fortune of lover thirty-five million dollars.
 After the young man had gained a foundation of education he set out as clerk. not knowing that he was destined to draw togethe :. vast fortune, much of whih he would use in trying to benefit his fellow men. He was efficient and accurate, and thoroughly honest. AS a result, he won place as cashier in Buffalo, being then twenty-two years old. Two years later, with his experience as an asset, he went to California and became merchant. and finally q banker. At thirty nine, because of the ability he displayed, he Californa. His financial genius was so great that he was drawn irresistibly to the great center of American finance, New York City. There, at the age of fifty-five, he established himself In the Mills building on Broad street, and en- tered into that active participa- tion in city life that made him famous. He interested himself ia almost every great movement for education, culture and uplift. In addition to all else, he gave great sums to the University of Cali fornia. Perhaps his real greatness showed itself in the desire to help at hers

NO NEUTRALS IN WISCONSIN

As a result of Senator LaFollette's activities Wisconsin is fast getting the reputation of being a one-man state with no neutrals. He has large influ- ence, such as it is, in that neck of the woods. Chester H. Rowell, writing in Worlds Work, says; "If it is busi- ness, LaFollette helped or hindered it, If it is religion, one church is for LaFollette and another against him. If it is politics, LaFollette is the whole story. There is no Democratic party. LaFollette abolished it. The Socialist party has made an alliance with La Toilette. The Progressive party, in Wisconsin, split on LaFollette. The Non-Partisan League was absorbed by LaFollette. The Republican party consists of the LaFollette and anti LaFollette factions. Politicians date the eras of their own careers w. B. and "A. B.-'With Bob and Against Bob.' The World War, so far as Wis consin is concerned, was fought over LaFollette. LaFollette is a hero and a partiot, or traitor and an anarchist, but it is always LaFollette."
 Apparently he of the pompadour dome understands the self-exploitation game almost as well as did the late P. T. Barnum, who declared that it mattered not to him whether people praised or abused him, so long as they talked about him. Tactics of the two are mutually suggestive in that it is hard to say which is more entitled to the palm for hum-buggery. Perhaps Wisconsin will resent being proclaimed to the world as a "one-man state" where neutrality is little known or practiced; yet her strenuous son, with ideas and language of his own for tunately for the rest of mankind, is responsible for such an impression. The field in Wisconsin is narrowly re- stricted; it's case of for or against.
 Who knows but what that state may drift into the class of the Virginia crossroads settlement where every body assembled Saturday nights for a free-for-all? The usual weekly per formance was witnessed by an Eng lishman who stopped over for the event which he viewed from his posi-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-08-11

policy of repudiation, deliberate de- preciation of her currency, and re- peated misrepresentation of her own economic condition. What if Germany does have to suffer to repay her just obligations? She made all the rest of the world suffer as she sought to carry out her arrogant and senseless policy of imperialism, and even, at the height of her initial successes, threatened to make the whole world pay tribute. Just why Germany should be forgiven this act of supreme crimi- nality and France condemned for seeking to enforce her just claims is more than the honest mind can under stand. We must keep faith with those American soldiers who gave their lives in France in order to halt the onward march of the most cruel, relentless, unprovoked and menacing army that ever was gathered together in an in- iquitous cause.
 France seeks repayment of only a small portion ot the wanton injury she suffered at the hands of ruth lessly invading army. She occupied the Ruhr because England weakened at q critical time and was perhaps about to bow to the storm of German prop aganda falsely predicting approaching anarchy and bankruptcy. France was left with no option but to back down and let the Germans get away with their monstrous perfidy, or else go in and enforce the terms of the treaty. France has done the logical thing, and eventually she will make the col lections to which She is entitled. Eng land is the nation that has little logic to her present foreign policy, and Eng land is the nation on which a wrong course at this time would most tell ingly react.

sHADoW-NoT SUBSTANCE

The measure now before the legis- lature proposing to submit to the vote of the people of Birmingham three types of vernment-commisslo council-manager and council mayor is commended in that it recognizes the principle of leaving the choice to the people. The measure falls short, how ever, through failing to provide a fourth choice in which the city-man- ager plan would be further removed from political influence than is pos sible under the council-manager form offered as one of the three alterna- tives. The objection to the council manager plan as offered is that the councilmen are chosen by wards or districts, which immediately nullifies the whole purpose of the manager plan by introducing politics of the worst type. Instead of a council composed of a member from each ward, there should be a council of three or five elected at large and non-partisan. The only way to remove politics from pro- ponderating influence in municipal af- fairs is with the knife.
 The whole value of the city-manager plan lies in the fact that competent executive is chosen and given large authority in the administration of public affairs, and uninfluenced by questions of patronage, allegiance to a political gang, and the other inn pediments to good government. There is no doubt that Birmingham's govern ment costs much more than it should and returns far less public benefit than would be the case under com potent administration of public af- fairs. If there is to be a change in the form of government of this city, let it be real and not a superficial change. Let the people be given real choice in the matter, and not one that is camouflaged as to title, but z essentially unchanged underneath.
 The people may not incline to the city-nanager plan, but let them at lSdSG Ot SlN6A tilC OPpOl bdiliOJ IO S-N- press themselves on genuine plan of this nature, and not on one that has it's foundations imbedded in the same muck whence there is a desire to be emancipated. Let all questions of wards, special favors, subservience of an executive to political expediency, and the like, be eliminated as far as possible from the next government Birmingham approves. At present there is no way in which either of the alternates proposed offers any advan- tage over the present form, but, on the other hand, they actually fore bode a return to a still worse condi- ton. Let the legislature present q genuine solution of the Birmingham problem, or let it decline to touch 1t at all
