editor Of The Age Herald :

To the Editor OF The Age-Herald
In keeping up with the campaign of Andy
Gump, l noticed where he stopped in At
lanta, giving the people one of his wonderful
talks. While did not expect such a big
man to stop in such little place as Annis-
ton, l. did expect him to stop in Birmingham,
Alabama's big town, and ask for the votes
of that city. 1t seems he did not care for
the millions of votes in our state, but jumped
to Memphis This will lose him Alabama
and the great influence of our statesmen, con-
sequently he has lost the election, and tell
him I said SO, for everybody knows that "as
Birmingham goes, so goes the country"

Who's WHO.


NNE of the Chinese generals now battling
I for supremacy in the huge former emf
pire is Chang Tso-Lui, at any rate, that
is the name under which he goes. But he is
not the real Chang, according to Dudley Bux-
ton, anthropologist and explorer in the China
Daily News. 1t is said that long ago there
was a real Chang, who was bandit leader.
The time came when his fortunes waned and
he was faced with the necessity of surrender
ing to the government. In exchange for his
surrender he was to receive a military title.
The negotiations were complete, but at the
last moment the bandit got cold feet" as the
saying is, and was afraid to surrender, think
ing of possible treachery and the conse-
quences His second in command offered
to impersohate him on one condition, that he
should not only use the name Chang at the
time of surrender but would be entitled to
bear it forever after. The new Chang went
in, surrendered and kept the name, even
going to the extent later on of executing
the man he had impersonated. It's this
second in command" bandit who now leads
one of the armies in the Chinese civil war.

birds that have been passing for weeks from
Canada and Labrador to Southern statues
and tropics ~. ~ ,soq1...

TO MY EXPENSIVE LOVE
Fairer than alabaster,
Whittier than drifted SHOWS,
Daintier than the sea-foam
Is the powder on your nose.
Sweet as the breath of lilies, =
Fragrant as rose in bloom,
Delicious as violet

Redder than ripped cherries
Which the thieving black-bird sips,

But, though might support the real girl

THE TRUE PROGRESSIVE.

From my point of view he only deserves
to be called q progressive who cannot sec
a wrong persist without an effort to redress
it, or u right denied without an effort 10
protect it; who feels q deep concern for the
economic welfare of the United States, but
realizes that the making OF better men and
women is matter greater still; who
thinks of every governmental policy first
Of all in its bearing upon human rights
rsther than upon material things; who be-
lieves profoundly In human equality and
detests privilege In whatever form or In
whatever disguise, and who finds the true
test of success in the welfare of the manys
and not the prosperity and comfort OF the
few. The civic unit of America Ii not the
dollar, but the Individual man. All that
goes to make better and happier and freer
men and women Is progress; all else is re-
action.-JOhn w. Davis.

Old Ships
HARoLD vINoL IN EVERYBODY's

What memories hang round about the spars
OF splendid ships that come to port no more,
What dreams OF moonlit seas and lovely
stars,
What sound of waters on a wooded floor
Something remembered from an ancient day
Comes back to haunt them when the eve
ming falls,
The cry of cleaning birds from far away,
The moan of winds around their whitened
walls
Something survives to make them wistful
still
OF silver harbors that they knew of yore,
OF midnight quiet by n secret hill
OF shining lights upon a singing shore
Perchance a ghostly gull ngainst' the sky
Or white sail at twilight flashing by.

Girl Linked in Chicago Murder
This headline reminds us that 1t was a
Chicago man, Gus Leutgert, who first
linked girl in murder.
The girl was his wife. Gus was a sausage
maker. He killed her and made her into link
sausage of the wienie denomination. 1t
created scandal. Some thought it i'm
modest for a husband to permit his wife to
appear in public in tights.

To Them Good Propaganda

French bankers are paying for the civil
war in Georgia, American correspondents
have learned from good authority in Eu-
rope. The Georgian patriots are doing the
fighting to gain their independence from the
Moscow government, but the French bank
ers have stipulated that for their financial
help they must have in return the immense
stores of oil that are located at Baku. From
dispatches it appears that in Moscow they
are not even worrying about the rebellion in
Georgia. They remember the Murmahsk
coast and Semenoff and Yudenitch, Wrangel
and Deniwine and they reason this way I;
~'Welcome foreign Intervention, it solidlfles
and strengthens the fast-waning national con-
seriousness of the Russian people,. To the
reds there is no more welcome news than i'm
plications of what they call capitalist gov
ernments in the stirring of sentiment against
the soviet rule. 1t gives them excellent cause
for propaganda. When a bolshevik agent is
caught in Paris they can say You do the
same things in Russia" and when q new
rebellion, financed BY foreign capitalists, is
finally crushed the international prestige OF
the reds goes up another notch.

Fisrce Mountains can Him

Amistannaka is tired OF faces and crowds.
He is leaving Montreal for the barren
tundras on the top of the world, where he
belongs and where Maya, his Eskimo bride,
is wearing away with the love for him. Amis-
tannaka has been a visitor Of the mounted
police in Montreal for three months. He
has ridden in automobiles, ascended elevators
and escalators, has seen motion pictures and
cabarets, but he is tired of it all. He longs
for the sting of Boreas on his cheeks. To
his ear the clatter of hailstones on an ice
berg is sweeter than the African jungle nlu-
sic they play in the white mans settle
ments Soon he will be back on the trail,
m0shing toward the land of the midnight
sun, crunching the snow through the path
less forests, hearing the swish of powdered
particles of ice as they lash the frozen lakes.
He would sleep in his parka bag with
couch of spruce boughs beneath and he would
again give that last peep at the austere sky
decked in all her jewels before he tucks his
head in the furs. That is what Amistannaka
wanted to say when he refused meat and
drink at the police barracks during the last
few days, when he cried softly at night
and would not be consoled by his trooper
friends.

SLIDING SCALE IS FIXED
 BY JUDGE FOR sPEEDERs

DIES MONIES, July 3-A sliding scale for speeders, with no discounts for cash or alibis, has been fixed by Judge Herman F. Zeuch here as his part in the police drive against 1eck- less automobile drivers. The arrange ment provides "a speed for every purse," and enables the speed enthus- hst to accommodate his pace to the fatness of his -pocketbook and deter mine the exact rate of speed at which he can financially travel.
 Judge Zeuch's speed quotations are:
 30 to 35 miles an hour, $25 fine
 35 to 40 miles an hour, $50 fine.
 40 to 45 miles and hour, $75 fine. 45 miles and up, $100.00 fine.
 Judge Zeuch also made it clear that his quotations were subject to advanc- es when bullish influences such as in- toxication, extreme recklessness, or other factors affected the market.

Seattle Mayoress Is
 Busy Cleaning House

SEATTLE, July Mrs. Henry Landes, Seattle's temporary Mayoress durin gthe absence of Dr. Brown, who is attending the Democratic National Convention in New York, defended her dismissal of Police Chief w Severyns, saying she had not time to make any other appointment to take his place and that a special emergency exist ed justifying her course.
 A dispatch from Dr. Brown was pub lished saying "Severyns is all right, and he will be put back just as soon as I can get home" Inspector Joe Mason, who automatically became the new chief of police, on the retirement of Severyns, has been quoted as say ing that the Department was conduct ed as it should be, under Severyns and he saw no changes to be made when taking charge.
 Mrs. Landes names Captain Claude G. Bannick, former chief, as her aide with the title of acting chief.
 Making Cleanup
 After Chief of Police Bannick had been ordered to clean up the city yes terday by Mrs .Landes acting Mayor ess, seven cleanup raids were stag ed in which seven prisoners were talk en, constituting the tally after her first cleanup.
 Three captives were accused of liq- uor offenses, three of gambling and one held for investigation after his liquor store was seized.
 Immediately after Mrs. Landes took office a general exodus of gamblers, bootleggers and other misperformers began, according to statements.
 Bannick named a special dry squad to survey law enforcement and all will report to him. He said the ad- ditional forces which Severyns had requested and which were refused by the city council, were to small. He declared thirty additional patrolmen were needed to cope with disorders, and four more automobiles were need ed to prevent holdups and convey the larger shipments of money.
 Brown telegraphed his secretary Dalby to have a new commission drawn up to place Severyns back as chief and ready for him to sign as soon as he gets off the train from New York city.
 At the city hall here it was recalled in 1910 when Max Arball, then Pres ident of the council, acting as mayor in the place of Hi Gill, similar to Mrs. Landes' present position, remov- ed Chief of Police Wappenstein when Gill was on a Yachting trip on the Yacht Rainier belonging to the Seattle Brewing and Mating Co. Gill re, stored Wappenstein when he return, ed but Wappenstein was accused o1 taking money for permitting evil practices and sent to the penitentiary later.

BROKE MORALE CAUSES
 INDUSTRY ID CEASE

DUBLIN, July Miss Somers, the Secretary of the Dublin Industrial Development association, in a paper read to the Dublin Publicity club dre a gloomy picture of the chances of industrial progress in Ireland.
 During the Sim Fein movement be- fore the treaty the people took strong interest in supporting Irish manufactures and the trade boomed. Now, Miss Corners said, the people were broken in morale, and their con- fidence in themselves shattered, and their present day attitude was che of cynicism and disillusion.
