THE AUDITORIUM

The municipal auditorium is now fact. The time consumed and the con- troversies aroused during the process ot bringing this convenience into existence are forgotten in the qualification of this community ambition. With appropriate ceremonies the great hall has been dedi- cated and the people have been intro duced to it's facilities and purpose. Its public value will doubtless expand as the people learn to use it for various activi- ties. Ambitious plans for its utilization have been formulated, and commercially so. Undoubtedly, the passage of time will discover more and more clearly the multifarious uses for which the structure may be legitimately employed.
 It is-understood that all provisions now made fer its rental and the charges for service are tentative and subject to mod ification as experience reveals more ex- actly the proper policies. One thing can never safely be lost sight of, however, and that is, the auditorium is the prop erty of the people of Birmingham and is devoted to the public use and the public enjoyment. With the purpose in mind always to encourage its fullest use for the people, the administrators cannot go far wrong in discharging their public re- sponsibility.
 If there has been any fear in the minds of any that the building might stand idle much of the time, that fear has been dispelled by the many applications for dates even far in the future. As time passes, also, the auditorium habit will grow, and undoubtedly the management will often be hard put to it to accommo- date all the activities desiring the use of the structure. The people may look forward to much enjoyment and benefit from their investment in this item of public enterprise.

REPIRLICAN DIVISIONS.

According to MT. John w. Davis, "the real antagonist of the Republican party is the other half of itself-the independ- ent party" And the logical conclusion is that party divided against itself shall fall. To show the visible evidence of party dissoluation among the Republic ans MT. Davis cites a number of cases. He mentions the defection from the na- tional ticket on the part of Brookhart of Iowa, candidate to succeed himself for the senate on the state Republican ticket. The two Republican senators of North Dakota, Frazier and Ladd, are not supporting the party ticket, even if not actually opposing it. The Republican nominee for the senate in Nebraska, George w. Norris, has declared that he will vote for LaFollette. And, says MT. Davis; q look at the state of Kansas, and find two gentlemen claiming to be members of the same political party run ming against each other for the office of governor. And the two who are running against each other under the same party name are not Democrats; they happen to be Republicans" In Colorado the national committeeman and the chairman of the Republican state committee unite in declaring that they will support the party nominee for governor. There are further indications, subsurface as yet, but liable to break out at any moment, that still other divisions within the Re- publican party are brewing. Such mani festations in the face of Democratic solidarity encourage the belief that Re- publican defections increase the Demo- cratic opportunity, even though they may go to LaFollette. MT. Davis is making a strong and capable fight. He is con- ducting a convincing campaign. He de- fo Tyin

Stranga Psychology.

A T THE precise moment when France A goes out of her way to recognize the
 soviet government of Moscow, Leon Trot sky goes out of his way to fling one of his flambouyant speeches in the face of Europe's statesmen. Says Leon: Even if France and England, Germany and the Scandinavian countries have recognized us because internal pressure shas become too strong, this doesn't mean in the least that we recognize the validity of the capitalist system nor it's offspring, the bourgeois gov ernments of Europe. And he adds: In all our dealings with foreign nations we will be guided, not by this so-called sense of fair ness, but by the dictates of economic necessity and the interests of the working classes of the world" The. world will gradually realize that in dealing with the reds it's is dealing with a totally new and strange psychology, the mentality of the socialist extremist plus the weird characteristics of the Russian. As far as diplomatic rebuffs Trotsky is but fol- lowing in the footsteps of Catherine the Great, though she was able to phrase her aversion to French influence in more pictu- resque language. Catherine wrote to Grimm; ambassador at the court of Versailles: "As for your grocers (the Bourbon kings of France were thus named by Herr Imperial Majesty) they may. come to visit me. or they may stay in France. It is quite indifferent to me. But should they come here they are not going to sing: fBonhomme, you4are not master of your house while we are in it.
