SOUTH AND IMMIGRANTS

Commenting on the possibility of a large number of immigrants from the East enter ing the South, The Charleston News and Courier says: "The kind of labor that that eastern cotton mills employ is the fruit of a liberal immigration policy. When we find ourselves confronted with the concrete pro posal that a lot of this labor be moved to the South we discover that we do not want it. And we are right in not wanting it. We are right in not wanting it in our cotton mills And we don't want it in any of our other in austries or in our cotton fields or on our undeveloped lands. We want immigrants But they must be the right kind of immi- grants, not the kind that a so-called libe|1l Immigration policy would bring us.''
 The South has been comparatively free from the isms and schisms which accompany an unrestricted influx of foreign laborers. 1t were well that the South continue to be thus favored. The so-called liberal immi- grafton policy, which has brought to America large number of immigrants who are re- aistant to melting-pot influence, has made successful government under American ideals and conditions no easy task. The govern ment might well be considered the biggest business in this country. If affects every other business favorably or unfavorably. The further it escapes the demOralizing influences and obstructive practices of tendencies against safe and sound government, the bet ter for every industrial interest of the coun- try.
 This may be applied in modified way to any section of the country. State govern mental systems. as well as the federal govern ment, may be adversely affected by an influx of undesirable immigrants from some large section While the South needs and desires properly selected newcomers to help build up this section, the South is not willing to take the serious chances which some other sections have taken.

COMMISSION IS TO BLAME

In regard to the parking of First avenue. public disapproval should not direct itself primarily against the utility, which is merely accepting all the favors extended, but against the city commission which has acted as Santa Claus. As The Age-Herald has pointed out from the beginning, the commission has been far more solicitous of the utility than Fof the public right of the people of this municipality. The commission has deliberate ly conceded to this utility all the former trad ing points in the. public behalf, and has left the municipality SSa1ost without recourse, ex- cept by indirect methods. -
 For the parking of First avenue there is not a strong public argument in its favor. The arguments therefore must all have been on behalf of the utility, just as in the case of extending the street franchises which has still six years to run. Similar concessions To. the private advantage at the sacrifice of 4ome public item of value have marked the city commission s entire dealings with the utility. In return for these concessions the city has received not even a guaranty of eff cient service. There has been a reduction in fare, it is true, but that is far more than offset by the voting out of the jitneys. As for the paltry sum obtained for the franchise extensicaI, that amounts to exactly nothing as eompared to any sacrifice of the public vel. fare.
 While the people may properly resent the greed which has impelled the utility to de- inand and receive all its concessions at the public expense, yet the agent upon whom public criticism should turn is the commis- sion, which is supposedly the defender of the public right, but in reality is not.

Recalling Youth
By H. ADDrNGroN BRUoR

Reading the other evening Stanley Halls recently published Life and Confessions of Psychologist" me a most delightful book of reminiscences-I came upon q pas sage of special interest, and perhaps of spe. cial significance, to the middle-aged and el- derly.
 pr. Hall, until his last illness, had long been in the habit of revisiting from time to | time his boyhood home in western Massachu- setts. He has kept up this habit in spite of the fact that twenty-five years ago his Fhome was burned, and so completely burned that only cellar-hole remains. l Both cellar-hole and yard, pr. Hall notes. 'are now Overgrown with sumacs and other i scrubs which together make jungle hard to penetrate. The rows of apple trees helped set out as a boy are in all stages of decay, and family of woodchucks have made their home under what was once the hving-room. '' Even so, the eminent psychologist who lived here in his early years continued to revisit and loiter about the old haunts In the passage to which I refer he musinKly asks himself why he does this,. and makes answer:
 Tt cannot all be because I thus renew my youth, for to do this brings home also a very poignant sense of my age and the changes which now separate me from my earlier days
 'The luxury of this kind of reminiscence must certainly not seduce us from duties to the present or interest in the future, al- though I am inclined to think that on the whole it brings a wholesale rejuvenation, and is safeguard against a certain tendency of juvenile attitudes to be entirely lost with age, and thus leave the soul more or less dessi- cated.
 "If this be so. we have here suggestion Ro- Aln k.N I.-.sk aE .II I age"
 Of course it is not possible for every mid dle-aged or elderly person to make pilgrim ages, as Dr. Hall did, to the home of the long ago. However they may wish to do so, considerations of distance, expense, etc., would make this impractical for most people,
 But, thanks to the precious gift of men- ory. everybody can at least make a mental revisiting. Nor is it for anybody q formid able exercise of the imagination to see him. self or herself again amid the well-remem- bered scenes and again experiencing the sen timents, moods, dreams, and aspirations as- sociated with them.
 I know that myself delight in occasion ally returning in fancy to a country-place where I spent many happy days as a boy. And am sure that as I, perhaps with eyes closed, conjure up the place and it's people as they and it used to be, n gain a something that makes for my present eenergizing.
 So that personally I am disposed to be- lieve that Stanley Hall is right when he sng- gests-as he does by implication-that his pilgrimage habit played at least some part in making his latter years such continuing years of accomplishment It would con tribute to this if only by helping to keep alive the spirit of youth, that spirit of en- thusiasm, curiosity and desire without which accomplishment must soon cease.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL oRATIoNs

Inc au-S0uthern finals in The Age-Herald national oratorical contest, occurring in Bir- mingham tonight, bring to this city the win ners in five other states besides Alabama. One young woman and five young men will deliver competitive efforts of eloquence on the subject of the American Constitution, and the winner will represent the South in the national contest to be held in Washing ton before President Coolidge on June g.
 The basic purpose of this series of con. tests is to center renewed interest and atten- ton on our Constitution. It is believed that no better document for the governing of a free people was ever devised. Realizing that human foresight is gravely limited, the fath- CTS of our government, having provided as wisely as they knew, went one step further and made it possible for future generations to make such alterations and amendments as the enlightenment of a later day might coun- sel
 And yet, having made such provision for amendment, the framers of the Constitution made it a matter of serious moment and s process of no primary simplicity to bring about the enactment of any proposed amend ment. As a result the Constitution stands ss the most substantial element in our form of government, it's very foundation, in fact No eulogy is too fervent, no loyalty too in tense, and no acclaim too cordial as applied to the American Constitution.
 If The Age-Herald has been instrumental h quickening the public interest in this great document, 1t is amply repaid thereby for it's agency in conducting the contest. The hun dreds of students whose attention has been centered on a study of the Constitution and it's relation to our government have gained thereby a perspective of our institutions that will be invaluable, not only to themselves, but to the communities in which they shall pass their lives. The audiences who have assembled in scores of towns and cities to listen to the orations are inevitably the better citizens therefor. In that way it is believed that the major benefit from the contest has haen derived

Watching The Parude
By JOIN 1ILGRIM

Out of the mouths of flappers comes forth wisdom--sometimes. Hence this tale of Charlie Anderson.
 "Charlie's life was one long romance" ] told the flapper Tt was one of the finest love stories I have ever known"
 The flapper curled her pretty lips
 When l first knew him." I said The was one of the leading young men of our small town. Charlie had everything as we say nowadays. He could sing and twang ex. cellently on the guitar and was more than dab at the drawing board, and had a turn of humor when he took up a pen. He was printer by trade, but not just the ordinary sort. He had a real talent"
 So he set up little job printing office. He ran to fine papers, artistic coloring, the unusual and beautiful in type arrangement. Time after time he was offered positions in other cities at salaries that doubled what he made with his small equipment. But he was in love and the girls mother was i'll.
 Why didn't they get married" asked the flapper, land take the old lady in?'
 They felt they could not do that, I told her. A mother-in-law is apt to drop acid in any home, and this particular old lady would curdle grain alcohol. So they went on, year after year, as devoted lovers. Some times Charlie and the girl hardly saw each other for weeks at a time. It was q big event when they could manage to so to the theater together. As time went on--for the old lady did not die-they grew middle aged and commonplace, but their love did not falter. Even after the girl had grown bit dumpy and Charlie preferred to stay at home nights with a book, they were as seltlessly in love as ever.
 Theirs was a real romance" said with q tremolo effect.
 'Bah," said the flapper. Charlie Ander- son was lazy loafer and he was afraid to take a chance"
 'I hadn't thought of it that way before. But, sure enough, Charlie was lazy. He had rather twank his guitar than stick type.

Loneliness

The loneliest place. it seems, in all the world, fs ballroom when the throDg has left, With here and there rose, it's petals furled, And all it's great, wide room of sound be-
 reft-
 Unless it be market place deserted, Or village when the last has moved away And the SSy seems just a giant bowl inverted While all the buildings crumble to decay But oh. the saddest of them all is just a
 place
 Where once a throng of children romped at
 play.
 And we but see the mothers kindly face, For all her brood have grown and gone
 away. -Kansas City Times.

Brief Nature Studies
By ,. OTIS SWIFT

To mineralogists it is interesting that. the General Electric Company, through Edward R. Berry, has succeeded in fusing quartz, making glass transparent to all the suns rays, including ultraviolet. The dream of a century, one of earth's most magical sub stances, linked with mans rise from beasts, again brought to his higher use. Flint, a form of quartz, first put mans feet on the upward path. It formed his ax, knife and arrow-point.
 A large part of the crust of the globe is silica, another name for quartz. It is com posed of the element silicon, never found pure in nature, and oxygen. It isfa com ponent part of many rocks. Scour-gfass, horsetails (whoee ancestors helped form our ,coal) encrust their reeds with it, Diatoms, whose shells mould our iron, built their houses of it. As rock crystal it is the em- blem, in the mineral world, of pure spirit.
 Clear quartz is used as lenses for spec tacles. and cut for rhinestones. When vel low it is called false topaz smoky, cairn- gorm milky tints are chalcedony red, carne- lian, while other varieties are agate, onyx and jasper.

THE BONUS VETO

While the President may defend his veto of the bonus measure as being in the interest of national economy, the actual saving as distributed over the years is inconsiderable. A far more valid objection to the measure as passed by Congress is that it falls So far short of doing what it purports to do. The actual advantage to the ex-service man would have been so small as to be unimportant If the nation owes a bonus to the veterans, and there is little doubt that it does, it should meet the obligation fairly and square ly, and not with any subterfuge bearing the name but not the substance. Whatever the Presidents motive, the veto was the proper answer to congressional politics.

 Meet is used correctly in the sentence quoted.

Would you write Dear Sir or My Dear Sir to a Doctor who you only saw once and spoke only once to himF' Doctor" should be spelled with a small d" Dear in "My dear Sir" should be spelled with a small "d."

The Thing That Lasts
By JOHN CARLYLE

Not long ago I sat in the cabin of a mountaineer in the range of the Great Smokies that lies between Tennessee and North Carolina. Life in those mountains seems to go on almost changelessly, There are few material Improvements. It Is land of two hundred years ago. It is colonial America.
 A man from those mountains visited me the other day He is a good man, soft-spokenr mild in manner, but quick and sure in the matter of his principles. And on proper occasion he might be quick and sure on the trigger "te
 Why is it," he said, "that you are al ways in a hurry up here?"

 Material achievement in the busy cities of the land is greater than in the everlasting peace of the southern hills. But the build ing of character is neither more rapid, more certain or more sound.
 Shops and factories, office buildings and stucco palaces will fall away. Time will triumph over all of them. The brick and mortar monuments of men will be conquered by the years. They are only of today.
 It is only the thing that a man IS that goes on forever

The Age.Hsrald As Text. Bool,

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 wish to thank you for sending The Age Herald to Woodward School during this school year. It has been the greatest help in many ways. In fact, I hardly think I could teach without daily paper.
 There is not subject taught in elementary grades in which one can not use profitably your paper. A clean, sane paper is of great help in teaching citizenship, history, geogra- phy and language. It has been most helpful in teaching arithmetic also, During base ball season we figure percentages, and we have invested (on paper) in all stocks and bonds on the market page.
 We keep up with our President, his cabi- net, our congressman and senators. our gov ernor and all local officials, and discuss them. They have to walk very circumspect- ly to please us.
 I would be willing to put my fifth and sixth grades, Junior one and two pupils, against most high school pupils as to their knowledge of current events-thanks to your good paper.

The Fairy Story
By DR. FRANR CRANE

"Here," said the fairy, ''is ring. Put it upon your finger and you will have all the power you wish over men and women. You will be able to make anyone do anything you desire"
 "Will you let me have time to think it over?' replied4se4--.y,
 T will give you a whole day Ponder we'll upon the advantages this will bring you If you want money you can make men give it to you-miIlions-aH your widest dreams can reach. If you want woman's love it is yours. If you want to be president of the United States you will be elected. Even if you should wish to be king you can com pei the people to abandon democracy and crown you. But why stop there? You can De ruler of the world. You can have a name greater than that of any of the worlds con querors. Ton can be master of all. Think" Whereupon the fairy disappeared. All day long my fancy ran riot. As my whole life had been spent in restrictions and in struggling against them, now felt as a beast would feel if his cage door were opened and the wide world lay before him, OF like a bird released from captivity preening its wings for flight into the free forests
 had done nothing but yield, yield, yield. Poverty had hampered me. Duties had yoked me. Burdens had bent me. Obligations had tied me hand and foot Necessity. had led me by the nose.
 Now could work my will was free, the master. Now l should live as a kingly soul should live. I would have palaces, servants. homage. Women would seek my smile. Men would court my favor.
 l will not weary you with all the details of pride and pOtence my fancy revelled in.
 All day l laughed at the world as a man laughs at the capers of dogs which, he knows, will cover when he speaks.
 Then night came. walked out and looked at the stars. Gradually grew sad. I saw my own soul. Wisdom and truth feebly be- gan to penetrate me.
 At first l was tortured by the truth, but slowly peace came, the clouds,of my troubled and sensual ignorance cleared away
 When next morning the fairg came for my answer, said to her
