WHY CRIME CONTINrES

Time and again with mere or less ire quency the people of this community are advised of attempts to blow up families in their homes with dynamite. 1t can hardly he said that the public is especially srlr- prised at these Outrages. in view of their frequency and considering how seldom there are arrests and convictions O the guilty Another attempt to dynamite a home was made a few nights ago. There have been many such dastardly crimes in and around Birmingham within the last year or two. The suppostion is that there will be still others, and that crimes of the kind will continue until there is definite and sue cessful effort to stop them.
 There have been surprisingly few convc- tions for these crimes. Those who commit. and those who are tempted to commit. them are aware of this and understand from the record that they do not take very serious

THE sOFT-COAL AGREEMENT

News of the signing of a three-year agree ment between operators and miners in the central competitive bituminous field comes to the public as a distinct relief, for it promises a three-year vacation from threat of strike and interruption of the coal sup ply. The wage scale is the same as for the current year. Doubtless there was no very strong argument in favor of reducing the scale, for there is no ntimation of price decline, and there is the general and- firm impression that, in spite of higher wages than ever before, the profits of the coal in dustry are still approximately much greater.
 Nevertheless, the agreement marks a dis tinct- advance in industrial relations. The parties went into conference with the impress sion beforehand that they could and would agree. Such an attitude is triumph for the principle of discussion and the spirit of mutual conciliation. There is no industrial question that cannot be settled by either agreement or arbitration. and settled far more satisfactorily and permanently than when such outcome is preceded by strikes and vio- lence.

GOVERNMENT AND OIL PRICES

The governor of South Dakota has issued a statement denouncing the oil trust for rais- ing the price of its products arbitrarily, and predicting that the people will rise up and demand that the government take over and operate the oil industry. While government ownership and operation of industry do not appeal to the American people, and while there is doubt of the constitutionalty of such a policy except in the event of an emergency involving the public safety there is a strong demand from the people for price relief. The consumer of gasoline cannot see why he should pay twice as much for the product as he did few years ago. He naturally resents occupying the position of the goat whenever a gentlemen agreement. com bine or conspiracy consigns him to such q position.
 Out South Dakota way, however, the pub lie ownership and operation of things in general as a policy does not appear to have made much of appeal to the country es- pecially when the results from such an ex, pertinent are considered. The government is having much difficulty just now arising from a disposition of some of its high officials to get it Out, instead of in. rhe oil business Perhaps if there were an established policy for governmental ownership and OpprHti ion of the oil industry. even greater difficulties would arise. The proposition would be in the nature of hazardous experiment, to say the least, and there is more or less doubt aS to whether it would result in lower prices for oil and gas.
 Well may it be hoped that the price of gas oline and oil may not soar to the point ol threatened emergency involving the public safety The oil combine is doubtless Shrewd enough to see the danger of that.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

In the office across the hall contest has been started among the live young men. Some one is to be made chief or division. Corny Mills is one of the live young men.
 He is diffident. He lacks courage to buck the other live young men. He does not like to use his elbows. He had rather continue as a rather ill-paid, unconsiderate, suo- merged clerk than scrap for success. For tunately for Corny, his uncle is home from the West.
 "Usually," said his uncle, 'I do not hire diffident men when they come to me- They're no good They pass the buck, they dodge responsibility, they yes me when I should be heavily no-ed. Now and then find one that is worth kicking into cour- age because I have discovered that the diff fident man as a rule is honest and clear sighted The reason why he fails is becauss he sees himself too clearly. Being retro. spective, he devOtes his attention to himself rather than to the other fellow. say:
 "'You're just as big fish as you think you are. But do me favor. Go out and look the other men over. Then come back and tell me if they are not pretty fishy, too
 Corny's uncle says that when diffident man comes back with a grin and admits that the others are not so very heavy, either. hs has hopes.
 And Il rel you tnls, young man, satu Corny's uncle, "diffdence can be cured. Make up your mind to go ahead. Never mind if you shutter or gobble or drop your eyes or suffer from hot and cold flushes. Go ahead, No matter what happens, go ahead. Memorize two or three brisk and pleasant formulas If a man tries to push you to one side and say:
 Here. Let me do. that
 "Step in ahead of him and say:
 Who do you think you are. you BOOT lob?'"
 Cofny's uncle says it can be done. He should know. Each year ten thousand young men pass in review before him. Once diffident man picks up his pep he is the best of the lot" says he.

Forum Of The People
Definition Of "Statesman"
litor of The Age-Herald {:

To the Editor of The Age Herald: =
 According to Websters definition, a statesman is a man versed in the principles and art of government; one who shows un- usual wisdom in treating directing great public. matters; also, a man actually occu- pied with the affairs of government and in- fluential in shaping it's policies. The peo- pie of Alabama and the people of the whole nation want a president who is and has been a real statesman. Mir. Underwood comes up to all the qualifications of a statesman. However. there is a certain man is this state, Mir. Musgrove, who says he would like to be president, who, I am afraid. could not come up to the last phrase of Webster's definition. So far as I know, he has never been actually occupied with the affairs of government" Of course, we know that he never expects to be president, but we dislike the idea that he is using his fat sums of money to injure our great statesman, MT. Underwood. through per sonal dislike and on account of political prejudice. Let us hope that he will see his mistake and change his actions.
