Coolidge on
PaternaIiSm.

The theory that the American peo-
pie are mollycoddles and have to be
surrounded by guardians and tended
by wet nurses is untrue and un-Amer-
lean. 1t has a tendency toward MAX
ing us a nation of moral inyerte-
brates and iellyfsh. Only the inner
ent ruggedness of the people and
their staunch determination not to
be coddled prevents the paternalists
from wreaking their will. Here is
Coolidge on this same subject:
There exists, and must always eX-
list, the righteous authority of the
state. That is the sole source OF the
liberty of the individual, but it does
not mean an inquisitive and OfficiOus
intermeddIing by attempted govern
ment action in all the affairs OF the
people. There is no justification for
public interference with purely priv
ate concerns"

Governor Blaine is apparently seek

The Herald has always believed
that considerable economy could be
effected in state affairs and that FULLY

kinds could be dispensed with. Ger

Knocking VS.. Constructive Criticism

Ordinarily when someone criticises
us it is a knock When they criti-
else other people or institutions it
becomes constructive criticism. Speak
ing on this subject a wrier says:
The difference between construc-
tive criticism and a knock is about
like this: Constructive criticism does
a fellow good even if the mule" in
him prevents him from acknOwledg-
ing it. On the other hand a knock
leaves a scar. Just as the nail driven
into a post leaves a scar when it is
withdrawn so the knock even if apol-
ogized for leaves scar.

that boys and girls standing by may,
in awe and wonder, feel the love of
a free people for its heroic dead.-Se-

HOnOring the Old Soldier.

Memorial day, Friday Of this week,
should be properly celebrated every
where. Time was when the veterans
of the Civil war were as numerous as
the sands of the seashore and could
celebrate the day for themselves; but
that day is gone, and the old soldiers
must, as time goes on, look more and
more to the generations which have
followed them for the fitting observ-

Friday. June 6. is Bundle day.

This, to most Birmingham residents, has but little significance. But to the members of the local Near East Relief corps it will be day of suspense; day of watchful waiting to see whether their efforts have proved fruitful, and d day when they will be given oppor tunity to see in good measure just how kind hearted the people of Birmingham are.
 For on Friday the extensive cam paign for clothing to be sent from Bir mingham to the penniless and destitute orphans of devastated countries will, be at an end. On that day Bilning ham housewives have been asked 1o set on their front porches bundles contain ing old clothing. discarded, perhaps, by members of the family. but which will prove a Godsend to the suffering children in the Near East.
 An organized staff has been placed in charge of the collection of the bun dies. Tags, bearing a list of things that can and cannot be used by the relief workers, are being dstrimted

FOSTER PRAISES
 HEROIC EFFORTS
 OF CITY FIREMEN
Cites Instances Of Bray cry During Sunday
 Morning Blaze

A vivid story of the heroic work of city firemen in combating the flames which early Sunday morning destroyed the Iron City Grain company, causing the loss of one fireman's life and in jury to three others. was told Monday night by Howard Foster, part owner of the company.
 "l arrived on the scene just as the wall fell" Foster said. Before I real ized what had happened, I heard Capt. Tom Glover shout an order and rush into the burning mass and seize one of the prostrate men. The other mem- bers of the crew, directly on his heels, were so busily engaged in heroic ef- fort to save the lives of their com panions. who were buried beneath the wall. In short time they were all safely removed.
 Then physicians arrived. The cap tain. plainly the more seriously injured of the three. stoutly refused to be ex- amined until his men had been cared for. At the hospital he insisted that his men should receive attention first.
 He's that way one of the firemen whispered to me. He won't let his men take risk he is unwilling to take him self and usually he leads the way into danger If Birmingham ever did have cause to be proud she should be proud of her firemen."
 Attendants at the Norwood hospital Monday reported turn for the worse in the condition of Capt. V. W. Hughes, injured when the wall collapsed. Phy- sieians fear the plucky fire fighter may develop pneumonia. He is said to have been at the nozzle of the hose when the wall fell. and directly in it's path.
