FOR ALABAMA COLLEGE

Next Wednesday occurs the formal opening of the drive to raise a million dollars for Alabama College at Monte vallo in order that it may provide urg- ently needed facilities. This effort is noteworthy in the educational ard indus trial development of the state. Wide spread interest is manifested in the en- terprise. It's success seems assured through appreciation in every section of the state of the value of the work to be made possible with adequate funds for the institution.
 Three aspects of this project may we'll be considered in connection with the purposes of the drive. First, the need for funds by which to carry out the work. Secondly, the opportunities of fered; and thirdly, the results in bene- fit to the state. The fact that four hun dred of the girls who are anxious to en- ter the school next fall will nave to be turned away for lack of facilities em- phasizes the first consideration. With proper equipment, these and many more girls ambitious to prepare themselves for the duties of life, could be accommo- dated.
 The opportunities are broad and prom ising. It is not proposed to limit train.

In Oklahoma there are somewhat more than 100000 enrolled members of the so- called Five Civilized Tribes" of Indians. In 1908 congress took jurisdiction over them in probate matters from the interior depart ment and transferred it to the state county courts: In the summary of a report pub lished by the Indian Rights Association, tell ing what has befallen these "poor rich In- dians," the general statement Is made that their estates are being and have been shame lessly and openly robbed in a scientific and ruthless manner" A more specific charge is that of the 64,339 whose safeguards were removed in 1908. Probably not more than five or ten per cent. have anything left" They are living back in the hills or are be- ing cared for by friends or relatives. Mean while, "the orgy of graft and exploitation" goes on.
 When Oklahoma was admitted into the union a pledge was put in its constitution that nothing should be construed to limit or impair the rights of persons or property per taining to the Indians or to limit or affect the jurisdiction of the federal government over

ing of those who attend the school to the classics, domestic science and the art of home-making. They are to 0c given instruction in business, in clerical and executive work, in fitting themselves to take responsible positions in various fields where trained help is needed. Scores of women salesmen and managers of departments in stores and other busi- ness enterprises are brought from other parts of the country to fill positions in Alabama, because the women of this state have not been trained to fill these positions. .
 As to results. A million dollars in donations to this worthy cause is small consideration in view of the returns. It would be wise and permanent invest ment, because it would fill an economic need. It is hard to overestimate the value of hundreds of women trained in many useful arts to add to the produc- tive capacity of the state, to improve do- mestic life, to bring greater content in the homes, to provide properly developed talent for clerical, executive and man agerial service. The cause Is worthy, the appeal strong, the benefits assured. There is every reason why the drive should be such a success as will empha size the value which the people of the state place upon the splendid service of the Alabama College.

them and their lands. In spite of this. early effort was made to repeal laws for their pro tection, with the result that all federal su- pervision of the sale of inherited lands by blood heirs (and by those declared incom- petent) was ended and jurisdiction given to the local probate courts. In the absence of this federal supervision, these Indian heirs were, 1t is declared, robbed in a wholesale manner" and, it is added, virtually with the aid of these very courts" For time field agents were authorized by congress with a view to prevent such abuses, but the appro- priations for this purpose were soon discon- tinued. Then the supreme court of Okla homa, witnessing this openly disgraceful state of affairs, issued rules for the guidance of the county courts in dealing with Indian property, but these rules were modified and were finally revoked by the court last July.
 The revelations made after a first hand study of conditions by those signing the re- port (who are certified by President Herbert Welsh to be experienced investigators') are shocking. They include such findings as un-

A Plea for Tolerance

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 If you will kindly grant me space in your columns I would like to express few thoughts induced by the letter of Mir. J. R. Johnson which appeared in the Forum of the People in your Monday edition. I will pre- face my remarks by declaring that this is not written in the spirit of controversy, but as a statement of truth in justice due to certain body of our citizenry.
 was brought up in the communion of the Roman Catholic church, but severed my re- lationship with that body more than a quar- ter of century ago, solely on account of lack of faith in the theological dogmas which it teaches. To that church and it's communi- cants now occupy the position of apostate, a word which, applied to one who has, how ever sincerely, conscientiously and, 1 may say, regretfully, forsaken the theological doctrines inculcated in childhood and youth, is always one of reproach, frequently of opprobrium Being liberal the chasm separating my re- ligious convictions from the Catholic dogmas is immeasurably greater than that existing between the religious opinions of the average orthodox Baptist, Methodist or Presbyterian and the Catholic doctrines, yet my feelings for that grand old church are of the kindliest. Until the age of 26 years I was a constant attendant upon the services of that church, vet never have I heard from the pulpit any instruction or advice as to political candi- dates or principles, although the civic duties of registration and voting were occasionally stressed, and never was I privately ap- proached by pastor or fellow layman on such subjects.
 What possible danger is to be apprehended from a minority of not more than one-sixth the total population, and how the leaders of the Roman hierarchy, even were they so dis posed could reasonably hope (an6 l believe imbecility is not one of the faults usually attributed to them) to control with their twenty million members a total population of perhaps one hundred and twenty millions is hardly self-evident. Besides, whatever of arrogance, intolerance and greed of temporal power may be justly imputed to the leaders of this hierarchy in ages past, they must realize, as reasoning men, that now, and for all the future, the sphere of their influence lies solely in the spiritual plane, the realm of conscience. The antiCatholic movement, engineered by the brainy but interruptions few, who for the sake of political or pecu- niary advantage, persistently and brazenly appeal to the most ignoble of human passions and emotions, is a rather unflattering com mentary upon the intelligence as well as the Christian charity of it's protogonists.
 In conclusion, and in all humility, plead for peace for the true feeling of brotherhood toward all men, however much they may sin cerely differ from us in religious or political convictions, and in the regulations of our transactions with and feelings and conduct toward all fellow humans, to ever bear in mind the sublime injunction of that greatest of Leaders to whom all Christians claim al- legiance "Love ye one another"

The discovery of oil on Indian lands seemed to. provoke the most pernicious and avaricious- trespass upon the rights of their owners. That the only hope for saving the property of those who are still under restriction lies in the restoration of the authority of the de- partment of the interior indicates to what dis graceful depths things have gone. The bill which seeks to insure such protection for the restricted lands and funds that are left has been introduced in the. senate, by Senator Harreld of Oklahoma, in the hope that the "Five Civilized Tribes" shall have civflinedl treatment from the forty-eight states.-New York Times. .3#s" -tt

failed to perform. The Democratic plat form is in no degree subject to that crit cism, for it has not behind it a party record of failure. The reliability of its pledges is not diminished by failure to live up to past pledges. Therefore, the Democratic platform may be accepted as sincere, and as dealing with important public matters in fitting manner. There is room for criticism at certain points, but where there are opposing factions the result must be to some degree compromise of conflicting opinions. In that view the Democratic platform is cer- tainly superior to the Republican plat form, which is machine-made, represent ing no real fruits of earnest and consci- entious thought and debate.

2 One of the most remarkable economic in- vestigations ever iconducted in this country has just been concluded. Since 1919 the ''Pittsburg plus" practice in the steel in dustry--by which is meant the practice of passing steel prices at all points on the price prevailing at Pittsburg, plus the freight rate has been studied by the Federal Trade Commission; and hearings have been con ducted for more than two years. Scores of cities have been visited; hundreds of business men, both in and ort of the steel industry, have been examined. Whatever the final verdict of the commission, it certainly will not be open to the charge of having reached a hasty or superficial one.

The twenties are the moulding years of the life, when the young man forms those habits that shall direct his career. Then he finishes his school work stands before the altar, es- tablishes home and looks the world in the eye.
 The thirtles are the years of discourage ment. It is a hard and trying time for all It is time of battle without the poetry and dream of youth,
 The forties are the years of vision, when a man finds himself, finishes his castles in the air and knows the value of his dreams.

Believes Defeat "Inevitable"

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 It has been said that the Democratic party can always be depended upon to do the fool thing at the right time to be defeated. The convention that is in session in New York is demonstration of that old saying. It does not matter who is nominated, he or she will go down in defeat in November. The lines have been drawn. The wet and dry fight is on. If the drys nominate a man the vets will not vote or vote for Coolidge. On the other hand the drys could do the same thing.
 The Republicans kept free from any kind of entanglement They sidestepped the Klan issue. New York will vote for either Smith or Coolidge. They did the same thing in 1888. Elected Hill for governor and against Cleveland for president. If Smith is nomi- mated Alabama is liable to go Republican The majority of the delegates that the freak primary of last March hog-tied for Under wood and who are doing Underwood's bid ding are against Smith and would vote against him if Underwood was out of the way.
 McAdoo cannot be elected. The East and Middle West are, against him. I seriously doubt if California would give him her cleo toral vote. Had the Democrats let the Klan and prohibition issues alone and gone to the West for a candidate Otherwise than Mo Adoo who went West for campaign purposes only), for president and to the South for a vice president, the party could have won. As it is, the lines have been too tightly drawn and defeat is inevitable.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 1t may be of interest to see or know a few of the thoughts of our masses of voters politically. The writer has never voted any ticket except Democratic. That is good gov ernment for all. The writer is politically independent, having little regard for party names, but only regards party principles. The writer's political principles are those of Jefferson and Lincoln, the two outstanding statesmen that the world has produced. In our modern life, politics or the science and government of a nation is woven into the fabric of every life. The public welfare de- pends upon good government.
 MT. McAdoo's policies and principles ap- peal to the writer and the writer thinks, to the masses of the United States
 MT. Underwood has many admirable traits of character and intellect. In regard to the dark horses" the writer regards some oi these as jumping jacks of Wall Street, ol invisible government" The masses know nothing of the genealogy of these horses, and in the writer g. opinion would stand about ai much chance ito be elected as a one-eared mar would stand at an eavesdropping. Since twenty million women have the ballot anG all in favor of good, really progressive gov ernment, the writer believes that a host oi politicians will stand next November scratch ing their heads wondering what happened"

Progress Walker Rural and City Schools

Progress in Walker Rural and City Schools To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 A recent editorial in your paper under the caption, Walkers School Investment" is very pleasing to your friends in Jasper, as well as those in other parts of the county. While your editorial refers principally to rural schools, the same rate of progress is noticeable in the schools of the. cities and towns. good illustration of this progress might be found in a comparison of the en, rollment of the Walker County High School for the first year of its existence with the present year. This school had its beginning in 1910. with an enrolment of 62, and the enrolment for the year just closed was 390.
 Other towns in the county, notably Cor dova. Dora, Oakman, Nauvoo, Eldridge and Carbon Hill, have made wonderful progress along educational lines. Modern school build ings have been erected and the curriculum ad- vanced in very satisfactory way
 We all thank you for your kind references to our county and it's school system.

ternal administration in the steel industry? Chiefly because it embodies an economic practice, which if it becomes commonly ac- cepted will have far-reaching effects upon the business of the country. Chicago, for in- stance, may have it's own steel mills, it may be closer to the source of raw materials, its cost of production may be lower, but as long as the Pittsburg base rate prevails it's steel consumers cannot derive any advantage from such lower costs. The Chicago purchaser must pay the costs of the freight rate from Pittsburg regardless of the fact that the steel he buys may be manufactured across the street from his own establishment. Vir- tually the only defense of the practice is that it is essential for the stabilization of

The war was a great educator. It demon strated that men long mourned as dead were alive and that other men, who breathe and walk and, talk, were deader than any soldier who sleeps beneath the sod. We all have our peculiar ideas of what life and death really are. I have mine and they are different from the ones I formerly held. I used to think that life was eating. drinking, working. play ing and such activities, and that death was a cessation of these activities. I was utterly in error.
 Life does not consist of length of years, nor death in passing from mortal fusion. It is not how long a man shall walk this vale
