A FINE APPOINTMENT

President Coolidge made happy selec- ton of Colonel Joseph w. Mcintosh to serve as comptroller of the currency. Merit rather than political consideration may be given credit for the appointment. Colonel Mcintosh has been director of finance of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation since October, 1920, and in that capacity he
 has ably assisted in the liquidation of the vast war properties. This task has called for an exercise of even greater genius than the new office requires, for the currency processes are orderly and organized while the liquidation processes were in the beginning unorganiZed and in many cases without precedent as guide.
 During the war Colonel Mcintosh made a distinguished record, passing through the grades of major, lieutenant colonel and colonel in the years from 1917 to 1920. In France he acted for time as chief of subsistence, vital position, and served also in Italy and in the Balkans. He was decorated by the Polish, Italian, Serbian and Czecho-Slovakian govern ments for his war services. He began his career as a banker and has tGen sue cessfully associated with important finan- cial affairs throughout his life. Appoint ments of this sort always are encouraging because they rest on a mans proved capacity for the position to which he is elevated. The government needs more such selections for important functions.

REGULATING RADIO

Although there is much confusion in the air, due to the lack of regulation of broadcasting, the use of radio IS so new that congress should be very chary of imposing such restrictions as would kill amateur interest and prevent those con- stant improvements that are contributing so amazingly to radios development Secretary Hoover apparently would like to have his department given full au- thority over this field of activity. Such authority given to one man might be dis astrous, if that man should take it into his head to turn the whole business of radio over to some approved group, who might or might not be endowed with the sagacity adequate to the emergency.
 Some regulation of radio appears feasible, however, even at this time. Per haps general supervision might be en- trusted to the department of commerce, but there ought to be some board or commission or court to which appeal would be carried when any party felt injured or deprived of the latitude reason ably required for legitimate operation. There are amateur radio practices which are annoying to everybody, and should be modified. But there are other anna teur activities that deserve the fullest encouragement. Some study will be re- quired to make the proper analysis, and even then there should be no irrevocable rigidity that would stand in the way of the most complete opportunity to ex- pedite the potential discoveries that lie in every direction just beyond the present frontiers of radio.

WHAT CONGRESS MIGHT DO

In discussing the proposed federal child-labor amendment, while admitting fully the worth and necessity of the humanitarian purpose of protecting chil- dren from industrial exploitation, the New York World deprecates the further step towards centralization at Washing ton of an authority and sovereign re- sponsibility that each state can more equitably administer for itself. At the present time the amendment has been ratified by the legislature of Arkansas, and rejected by the legislatures of North Carolina and Georgia. At this rate, it is doubtful whether the necessary three fourths of the legislatures can be induced to approve the amendment.
 That congress has some concern in the premises is admitted. If it would not be foreign to parliamentary courtesy, con gress might adopt the eXpcdicnt of recom- mending by resolution that the several legislatures at once enact laws protec- tive of the genuine public sentiment in favor of extending to all children the full est possible opportunity.

PEOPLE WANT PARKS

What Birmingham needs is park board that will function in the public in- terests, despite any political influences that may be injected into the situation. The people are growing restive over the continued failure in this respect, and they want action on behalf of the public welfare. They have been patient and long-suffering, but there is limit to both, and now they insist that the bar riers which have been obstructing the boards service and usefulness shall be removed in the community interests. There has already been too much delay. Every day of delay is direct blow at the public welfare.

Record of Democrats.


 TYR. BERNDT, the burgomaster of Berlin, speaking before a large audience of A nationalists and students refers to his democratic fellow citizens as those cowardly traitors who stabbed the fatherland in the back in 1918 with their establishment of a republic' There can be little doubt that the democrats acted purely in what they thought were the best interests of Germany. They realized that autocracy had brought thelr great country to the brink of utter disaster and with the rest of the world they saw the men, who had boasted of being the originators of a Mittel Europa empire, flee across the borders into neutral territory. From that day the democrats have tried to restore peace and happiness to the people of Germany. Their first concern has not been, of course, to look to the interests of the kaisers favorites and the junker landowners These gentlemen had been favored with special imperial attention for many years previous. When the sweep of bolsheyism moved westward, engulfed Lat via, Esthonia, Finland and Hungary, 1t broke it's force upon the resistance of the German middle classes The old generals were willing to give it free passage through the reich Tn order to strike at France, the Spartacists welcomed the liberators, but the democrats, the bourgeoisie, that section of the community most abused in Europe, set itself up as bulwark. The junkers antagonized the con ouerors. but the democrats spoke about q spirit of cooperation and conciliation, and by their conduct brought about the with draval of the French from the Ruhr. And that was something all the sabre-ratting, spur-clinking and Donnor and Blitzens ot Ludendorff and his discredited clique could not accomplish.

OUR LARGEST PAY.RoLLs

The huge pay-rolls to be distributed by the many industrial interests of this dis trict during the first three days of next week give some idea of the local ex- pansion along nearly all lines It is estimated that the pay-rolls will be the largest in the history of the district, not excepting the war period. Thus the Bir- minghan district is making as great or greater production records in time of peace than in time of war, when the products of the district were in acute demand at high prices.
 The number of industrial employees who will participate in the great pay rolls of next week are estimated at con aderably more than seventyfive thou sand. This does not include employees of financial, commercial and miscellaneous enterprises, which would run up the num- Der many thousands more. Even in the building industry alone an army of arti- sans is engaged, while many workers not strictly classified as being identified with industrial operations will still further in- crease the number of payroll recipients.
 There are two notable conclusions to be drawn from the situation, First, the district as a whole is more productive and more prosperous than at any time in it's history. Secondly, and closely asso- ciated with the first conclusion, there is very little unemployment here. It may be incidentally added that wages are com paratively high and that there is no ap- preciable discomfort among wage-earners. They have more reason for enjoyment od the Yuletide season than ever before. Labor conditions are more favorable hare

' AM GLAD I am alive and that I am
 living in these opening years of the twentieth century. For these present times are the greatest and best the world has ever seen.
 The Greek thanked the gods he was Greek and not a barbarian, a free man and not a slave, man and not woman. shall content myself with thanking God I am living in the nineteen hundreds and not in any previous century.
 Men on earth today have more good food to eat and purer water to drink than ever before. Sailors can carry canned tomatoes and succotash where formerly they could only take salt horse and weevily biscuit. I can stop in at the butcher shop get beefsteak and grill it on my gas stove in jiffy, instead of having to build fire and wait for bed of coals. If I breakfast at home there are at hand any one of thirteen kinds of scien- officially prepared cereals, instead of only the corn meal and hominy of the days of our fathers.
 We have better underwear, stockings and outer garments than Richard Occur de Lion or J. Caesar ever dreamed of
 We get purer water out of the kitchen faucet than grandpa ever drew up with his old oaken bucket.
 The civilized world is freer from pests than ever before; the terrible black deaths of former ages are now unknown. Whereas it used to be a serious and most unpleasant undertaking to journey from New York to Philadelphia, one can go these days around the circle of the earth, travelling as comfortably as if he were in a city hotel.
 We are living in the days of graft ex- posures; in former times graft was even worse, only it wasn't exposed. Above all this, it is the era of the Common People. They are getting forward, saucy, inn pudent, even rampageous; whereat l rejoice. From east to west they are arising and smt- ing
 In the United States of America the well fare of the common man is ceasing to be politics and becoming religion.
 And, speaking of religion, was there an age before this when moral sap was flowing so free, when righteousness was more uni yersally appealed to, when ethics was less in control of hieararchic close corporations, when humbuggery was more sure to be shot to pieces by ridicule, and when the river of God flowed so freely through the streets or the city?

Millionaires and Universities.

 American millionaires are giving until 1t hurts. American colleges are being particular ly benefited. There was a time when col lege had to employ a staff of expert solicitors to get money enough to keep the wolf from the secret society. Today all it needs is Q safe and plenty of rubber bands.
 In those days 1t was of primary importance that a university get an efficient president and faculty. Today the main thing is to get a good treasurer and staff of expert ae- countants. There was an era when rich men made & practice of giving their millions to Mills Hotels and Bowery Missions. Now they give the money to universities. After all just as many men sleep in American colleges as in American missions.
 Putting money in American colleges is q good thing. Invested anywhere else it might be a total loss.
 But even if he goes broke, man who gives few million to a university will always be good for two seats at the commencement ex- ercises and one seat to the big football game
 James B. Duke has given four million to a southern college. Mir. Duke makes the proviso that the college change it's name to Duke University For four million dollars any col !ege will call itself anything.
 If he offers that much money to Vassar it will agree to call itself Duchess.
 The rumor, however, that Harvard has ac- cepted ten million from a cloak and suit nagnate named Rosenheimer on similar con- dtions is denied.
 The southern college so prodigally favored by Mr. Duke has not announced any definite intentions as yet, but that there will be a Dukes Mixture Stadium, a Virginia Leaf Auditorium, a Cube Cut Memorial Organ and Will-Not- Bite -the-Tongue Scholarship is fairly possible.
 Highest degree within the gift of the col 1ege Grand Duke.
