OUR AIR MAIL SERVICE.

Ninety-three per cent achievement of ex- act schedule time for all westbound and eastbound cross-continent air mail trips is an excellent record for the first month of the service. Overnight layovers On several occasions, because of unlighted airway stretches were the chief cause of the fail ure to make a perfect score, and this fac tor, while beyond the flyers control, can be remedied. As for the performances of the men and planes themselves, nothing could have been finer than the record made in these first pioneer, experimental weeks. The show ing abundantly justifies the decision of the postmaster-general to continue the flights in- definintely. There is public demand for other routes, but it cannot be met without con- gressional provision of funds, action which would be justified both on account of the utility of the service for the mails and for it's assistance in the development of corps of experienced flyers, which are a necessary part of any modern program of military de- fensive preparedness.-Philadelp Bulletin.

Once They Were Pals.

In the war that is being carried on in Georgia the bolshevik troops are resorting to the practice of taking hostages. Karl Kaut- sky. leader of the evolutionary socialist school in Germany, takes "Comrade" Trotsky as war minister severely to task for this procedure. But Kautsky forgets that to his master, Karl Marx, whom he shares with Trotsky, all things are justified in ''the only just war in history" that is in the war to crush the last remnants of the bourgeoisie and upper classes. "We intend to seize as hostages all the beloved and trusted of the bourgeoisie, thus placing the whole bourgeois class under the Damocles sword of mutual responsibility" says Trotsky, the soviet war minister. And to his former associate and "comrade" of pre- revolutionary days, the picturesque Trotsky filings this rejoinder: If the well-intentioned bourgeois dectrianeires sometimes shed croco- dile tears and appear in the guise of retired theoreticians of the second intentional this is in no way deprives their characteristic non sense of the right of remaining nonsense" |" Trotsky and the bolsheviks will not tolerate the least flicker of counter-revolution, the red army is to drown it in blood. But the criticisms of Kautsky and other socialists get under their skin.

Forum Of The People
Opposes Library In Capitol Park.
he Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 In your issue of Tuesday, note with much interest, the suggestion of Honorable Melvin Drennen anent the location of our cOntem- plated public library building. The plan which he suggests, seems to me, not only feasible, but eminently practicable and the most plausible and proper solution of the question possible, and if adopted and put into effect, will satisfy everybody and subserye every interest and purpose sought It would put the library where it should be located, preserve the present limits of the park, obviate any expenditure for library site, and in ad- dition be a proper step in carrying out the idea of grouping and centralizing our city and county buildings. I heartily congratulate Mir. Drennen for his most timely and prac- tical suggestion, and sincerely trust that our city and county officials will, in accord with the wisdom. of the suggestion, promptly act in unison to make of the idea a practical so- htion of the vexing problem of providing site and the early erection of public library with the funds now on hand. And let the idea be banished forever of putting the library or any other building in Capitol Park, unless in time, in the wisdom of the people they should decide to erect the state capitol in Birming- ham, the present metropolis and destined to be the greatest city in the South. Then building for the state capitol may be erected in Capitol Park, but any building other than that will most assuredly be cause for strenu- ous litigation and lead to a great financial loss to the taxpayers of this city.

yer must have been physician of some
 skill, for he was made the presidents s
 physician because he had saved Mrs.
 Harding's life on previous occasion. During the Harding incumbency. of the White House,, Dr. Sawyer again drew Mrs. Harding back from what at one time seemed likely to be fatal illness. It was no wonder that he had the confi- dence of the president.
 But it appears that the doctor was also an earnest and honest man who, as director of disqualification of veterans, discovered the Forbes trickery and made the report to the president that resulted in Forbes's pre-emptory dismissal from the public service. Dr. Sawyers personal loyalty to Harding was attested by his the full story of the presi- dents dealings with certain ones who have since become notorious. In this story, as yet unpublished, Dr. Sawyer meant to clear the Harding record of any suspicion of approval of the improper acts of his subordinates which were later brought to light. Although the doctor has passed on, perhaps with the story in- complete, it may we'll be that he has left enough to guard his friends name against all future attack of historian or chroni- cler

WHY A SHERIFF RESIGNS.

Sheriff O'Rear of Walker county, in handing in his resignation, makes state ment that should arrest public attention. It is to the effect that he has no money with which to fight the charges preferred against him by recent grand jury. Any official charged with dereliction of duty is entitled to a fair and complete trial, in order that the facts as to his guilt or innocence may be properly and adequate ly established. If the sheriff has been serving his people as faithfully as he maintains, then it would be publicly in furious for the county to lose his serv- ices. If he has been delinquent in his duties, that also should be determined. Inasmuch as the state assumes the role of prosecutor, in the event the governor does not accept the resignation, it ap- pears that some means should be at hand for permitting the sheriff to defend him self without placing himself under finan- cial obligations so deep as to be beyond his capacity to handle. What is sought in the premises is justice. If an official uniustly accused finds himself unable to defend himself in court because of the cost, then justice is defeated

A Stain Removed.

Devils Island, often compared to Dante's "Inferno," because of it's frightfulness, as prison, is to be abolished by the French gov ernment. This action is taken as result of the investigation in the cruelties and tortures practiced on the prisoners which startled the civilized world with their stark terror and horrible cruelty. It was the Petit Parisien that sent a reporter to the West Indies to investigate conditions and this mans writings were responsible for the changes that are to come. Instead of penal colony on that bar ren island, France is to have central peni- tentiary.
 Devils Island came into world prominence during the famous Dreyfuss affair twenty five years ago. Captain Dreyfuss, Jew, was the victim of the anti-Semitism and cOrrup- tion of the high army command. Condemned for high treason, he spent two years on Devils Island But through the help of Baron De Rothchildt and Emile Zola's book, 'J'accuse," he was given new trial and finally exoner- ated.

AN EQUIvOCAL POSITION.

It is sometimes difficult to tell where the Birmingham Evening News stands editorially on many subjects, but perhaps on none more so than on the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals. The News has been for and doubtful of this offer; likewise Aukewarm on occasion. Early in this year, soon after espousing the Alabama Power Company's effort to engulf this enterprise along with all other Alabama power sites, the News commended MT. Underwood for his services in behalf of the Ford offer and very properly cited these efforts as reason why MT. Un- derwood should be supported.
 It is not clear just why the Evening News, however, should carry an article on its front page of last Friday stating that the Wilson Dam was nearing com ,pletion; that "the lower house approved the much-discussed bid of Henry Ford, but the offer was rejected by the sen ate." The truth is that the senate did not pass on the bid at all, and the meas ure was postponed by consent to the De- cember session when it is to come up for early vote. The fact remains that the senate has not, as published Tn the Eve sening News, rejected the Ford bid.
 The Evening News may make the re- ply that the statement was made by its correspondent, Mir. John I. Lewing, who presumes to speak authoritatlvely on the subject. But the News, by printing the signed article on its front page, evidently approved it. If that inference is not con- vincing, certainly there is large charity extended the Evening News in excusing 1t from any responsibility for the misstate- ment of a generally known fact.
 Il 1R fbo News further confirms the impression that it is insincere in its support of Henry FoI.d's offer for Muscle Shoals by talk ing issue with a Washington dispatch which stated: "It is true, IS his critics declare, that he has not been over anxious to change his offer as 1t was originally submitted. It is untrue, how ever, that he has been obdurate or has adhered to take it or leave 1t attl- tude." On this the Evening News com ments: ''From all that can be gathered, there is an impression to the contrary as to the take it or leave it attitude, and there is an undercurrent of resentment in the senate at the somewhat cavalier manner in which MT. Ford treated the senate" And more to similar effect, confirming the suspicion that the Evening News is no sincere supporter of the Ford offer.
 Nothing is said, for example, about the cavalier manner in which the senate committee treated MT. Ford and his ot- fer. Not word about the deliberate filibuster in the senate committee to keep the Ford offer from coming to vote in the senate. Not a word about the cava- Her manner in which the senate commit, tee treated the people of the United States, whose welfare demands proper settlement of the Muscle Shoals ques- tion. Perhaps the Evening News knows where it really stands on the Ford o1fer'

Ride DudIey's Rhymes
The Bard Who Failed.

The poet wrote little song for he was needing kaIe On rhyme and metre it was strong; it's theme was far from stale. Then to n publisher he went and offered him his wares. Said he: II haven't got a cent. Re lieve me of my cares" The publisher glanced at the words. Said he My dear young man. these rhymes of yours are surely birds I have to have to pan a song, but homes no rhyme for dome You should have used alone I'll bet you hail from Troy or Rome. Your head is solid stone.' The poet took the song away and tore it into bits; then dropped into a small cafe and heard some current hits" They found him in week or so-around his neck a moose. A note, his final tale of woe, read merely; "What's the use?"
