REF0RE AND AFTER

American newspaper readers must have been impressed by, the almost unanimous tribute which editorial writers, regardless of the partisanship of their publications have paid to the late Woodrow Wilson.
 Some of the editors have been more out spoken than others in their analysis of Mir. Wilson's services to the cause of peace and have been berated by their readers for ex- pressing an opinion which seems to jar the even tenor of the times; but the overwhelming sentiment as expressed in the press of Amer iea and the world has been one of Graceful appreciation of the man and his place in history. t- .ti.
 The same was true in the case of the late President Harding. The. circumstances will cause reflection upon this fact in life parti- sanship runs so very high and becomes so bit ter that the full measure of man in public life IS almost impossible of computation until after he has passed off the stage of human activities. -s'+
 The lesson of this-hour as we, contemplate the tremendous expression of affection for the former president seems to be simply this : How much better would it be to use the measuring rule of an unprejudiced conscience during the life of our chief executive, rather than to withhold our opinions or debase our thoughts by affecting an antagonism that is not real and certainly not always honest A kind word in life is worth 1000 panegyries in death. The truth when subverted in life losing much of its potentiality when sum- moned only in the h6urs of mourning All presidents make mistakes All are human. We heed more of charity and less of pro- fessional partisanship in expression in private or public relating to our leadeFs.-Spring- field News. E T

 There are, indications that many rnanufac- turing enterprises will be established in or near Birmingham during this year as the result of a better understanding among in dustrial interests of the advantages offered by this territory.p Rapidly the Birmingham district is becoming great center of indus trial activity in finished products, which means increased prosperity for this section.
 Meantime the many large orders for fin9 ished products from plants in operation here are notable. A few days ago the Ensley plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company booked an order from the Southern Pacific Railroad for sixty-three thousand tons of steel rails which comprised nearly one-half of an order from that rail road divided between three steel-rail makers This order, following many large orders for rails placed with the Ensley mills of late, is interesting when considered with the predic- tion a few years ago that steel rails could not be manufactured in profitable quantity in this district

LOCATING IN BIRMINGHAM

The announcement that q manufacturing plant using raw materials produced in this district and to have about two hundred and fifty employees will soon move from another part of the state to Birmingham again di- rects attention to the tendency of such en- terprises to get closer to their material and distributing markets, thereby saving much in freight rates both ways. Within the last year many manufacturing enterprises have chosen Birmingham as operating headauar- ters while many more have moved here from other territop. STbus the advantages which this district affers as n source of materials, as distributing center. in transportation facilities ands labor conditions are becoming better known the country over.
 Special efforts are heinz made by the Chamber of Commerce. by other civic bodies and by individuals to disseminate this infor nation in many parts of the country. and already benefits are resulting from this work

The Little Toe

The next time you are getting ready for bed, when yon have taken off your footgear, stop bit and take look mt your little toe 1; either one. In case of doubt which to con template. take the one with the corn. s. You will find it hard to see; You will have ta twist your leg and crane your neck. For the marks of your decadence are con cealed from your observation, away at the corners, one at the extreme southeast and the other at the fufthermost southwest lands end of your body.
 What a poor, small, compressed, leafliks, triangular thing it is, resembling packed pig! It is wholly useless, having lost all its original shape and function.
 Man once set his foot flat on the ground, where it spread duly out and gave him spring and action Then came the devil, whose other name is Everybots (French, tout le monde; Scriptural name legion), and devised shoes, which Whittier properly called those prison cells of pride, and the free, muscular, finger-like toes were squeezed like sardines into one mass, and man became unidactylic, sone-toed, exchanging his lions paw for q horses hoof. k,
 This little toe is a symbol of spiritual and majestic realities, as all things on earth and sea are symbols when spiritually eyed. The little toe stands for all those misshapen, de- funct and absurd remnants in us of faculties once normal and princely.
 Take religion, for instance, a noble thing enough when primitive man awoke to the meaning of the vast unknown and bowed to the sun and abased his head to the stars so also when Moses spoke at Sinai and Jesus in Galilee and St. Francis and Sister Clare by Assist but in how many today does it per sist only poor dried waste of responsibility, an inflamed and threatening vermiform ap- pendix of superstition and childish fear; or just pitiful impotent little toe of worry of no more mortal use but, as the last of the little pigs, the one that neither went to market nor stayed at home to cry "Wee- weep aRt
 Most of us, when we grow old, find many potencies dead and dried which were lively enough in youth We use only few human functions in the business of making a living and pursuing our pleasures; the rest die We drop into our rut. At last we can just waddle from the table to the chimney corner.
 In old communities you will find many towns full of little-toe people.
 Many New England neighborhood is made up of curiously three-cornered, com pressed, warty, foggy, dried-beany folks who are alive in only one or two spots. There are certain denizens of New York that look like microbes.

THE W0RD :7EXPEnIT10N. ::

Tucked away carefully in the word "ex- petition" is the Latin word for foot sug- gesting clearly that the original expeditions were matter of foot work
 In fact, the second syllable of "expedition" is the syllable ped" the root of the Latin word ''pedis,' genitive of 'tpes,,n or foot. Pre- ceded by the particle 'ex," out off,, the Latin 'expeditor' means literally to extrieate the foot
 At least thirty centuries have passed since that word was devised. Since men started things by "extricating the feet" they have got into the established habit of carrying on expeditions on horseback, on camelback, on trains, automobiles, steamships and air planes. ,e
 But whatever the means of ''exnediting,,'' or hastening. adopted the original method of locomotion is crystailized in the word as a fly is erystallized in amber. e'

:. THE INSTINCT OF PATRIOTISM

In one of his regular contributions to this page H. Addington Bruce, the distinguished author, discussed patriotism in it's bearing upon the social and economic interests of the nation. Said he Real patriotism in wolves much more than willingness to die. if need be, for ones couthry. It involves de- Termination so to live that at all times the interests of ones country will best" be served. That is to say, it involves" a personal ideal ism translated into action in everyday living. Under the impulses of real patriotism graft and greed will be seen in their true light as essentially as unpatriotic as giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. The grasping exploiter of Others-whether he be factory. store or farm explOiter of the tabor of children. a food manipulatOr, a cum ming workman who deliberately underworkS, or any kind of an exploiter-will be rec ognized for the unpatriotic wretch that he is.''
 When and how so desirable a standard of patriotism will be attained in this country are questions. for serious thought. Mir. Bruce thinks that it can be done by proper teaching of patriotism in the schools. Doubt less much progress could he made by i'm pressing upon the young mind that patriot ism is much broader than the shouldcring of gun in times of excitement when ones country is threatened with foreign invasion. Many q man has done that under the inspi- ration of brass bands. perorations drives, ct cetera. Some of these were not consciously actuated by high sense of patriotism. On the other hand, some of the worlds greatest patriots, without firing d shot or shoulder ing gun, have endured for their country's welfare in times of peace more than most of their fellow citizens in times of war. The late lamented Woodrow Wilson is an ex- ample.
 It will be a great day for America when patriotism is so taught in the schools as to carry a.-proper appreciation of it's meaning

WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN? There is an old couplet to the effect that

Twelve cities claim Homer dead,
 Through which the living Homer begged his
 bread.
 It may be that there is similar rivalry between Governor Pinchot and Mir. Frank A. Vanderlip in claiming the credit for hay ing suggesting Mir. Francis J. Heney as pros- ecutor for the senate committee making the treasury investigation. First Governor Pin chot assumed the responsibility for having urged the selection upon Mir sConzeIis and now Mir. Yanderlip says that. he is the man who got Mir. Heney on the long distance and arranged terms of payment for his services. However, Mir. Vanderlip admits that Mir. Pinchot was the first to think of it. Only when Mir. Couzens being sick. hesitated and said that he did not know MT. Heney did Mir. Vanderlip take d hand in the affair. The next important move in the game is to keep MT. Heney officially in charge of the fact-finding. Perhaps Mir. vanderlip, in the event of senatorial reluctance, will undertake even that The important thing from the public standpoint is to get at the facts in an incontrovertible manner Perhaps after all the senate should take the lead -
