SOME FRENCH POLITICS

It seems that Premier POincare walked out of office, and then walked right back again. He took an adverse vote of 271 to 264 on q government economy measure as a vote against his continuance in office, and at once resigned. Hearing of the resignation the French chamber declared that no vote of con- fidence or lack of confidence was contem- piated and promptly reversed itself on the measure at issue. It is characteristic of French political ratiocination that M. Poin- care thereupon interpreted the adverse vote as revealing a lack of confidence, not in hinself as premier, but in the minister of finance who sponsored the measure and pressed it for passage. Having thus molli- fled himself by arguments that salved his vanity, M. Poincare serenely resumes his portfolio and plans q new cabinet with the onjectIonable minister replaced by another. The law, however, for support of which the finance minister sacrificed his position, re-

THE SOUTH DAKOTA RESULT

The result of the primary race for the Re publican nomination for president is very close between Hiram Johnson and President Coolidge. To interpret such a primary in such state is difficult. It may be taken as indication that the tide does not set in strongly for the president, and that the scan &nls developing in Washington have destroyed what otherwise might have been a decisive Coolidge victory. On the other hand, South Dakota has not been especially regular in its party adherence for a number of years, so the result may really be a normal index of that irregularity. Therefore, it is not safe to say that the vote indicates an emergence of tho star of Johnson. It will require a test in a state that is more regular in it's politics actually to devine the popular reaction to the presidents aspirations. It will likewise require as his opponent candidate of more uniform party record than Johnsons.

Must Come Clean

Sentiment throughout Alabama is growing at a rapid rate in favor of public officials coming clean with the people. No better evil dence of this fact is manifest than that which has to do with the condemnation of Chairman Rogers of the state highway de partment in his refusal to give out that which belongs to the public through the newspapers.
 Chairman Rogers, like many other public officials who have sought to deprive news papers of information to which they are en- titled, was under the impression that the newspapers would be injured by his refusal. How far from correct is this impression he may learn for himself by gaining information as to how many newspapers have died as a result of their inability to obtain public in formation. He cannot point to single one. But investigation will show how many pa- pers have died for failure to give the public accurate information regarding the acts of their public servants. When newspapers seek to serve the public and to give them all the facts without fear or favor, without bend ing knee to those who happen for the mo- ment to be in positions of power and without seeking to suppress essential facts that should come to the knowledge of their readers, they need have no fear that officials, afraid of the spotlight of publicity, can work their destruction Times.

Watching The Pdrade
By JOHN PTLGRTSs

Life has done Judge Suydam another cruel wrong. At least, that's the way he looks at it. Being so gaited constitutionally that take the opposite side of any question as soon as I find out where Judge Suydam stands, I urge upon him that it isn't life at all that did it. l. E
 You are persistently kicking yourself on the knuckle-b -bones," said to him. Trouble with you is that you are too late to be sue cessful as Q Simon Legree. You can't sell your young men down the river when you get peeyish."
 The judge has one of the new-stgle law offices. The client enters a lounge that looks like club library, except that it is better furnished. All around are mahogany doors on which are painted the names of the firm members. A swinging and unmarked door leads to the slave quarters, where delve the young men in legal lore. The judge used to pay em from twelve dollars week up. Now he pays from thirty dollars week up The young men have each spent perhaps SIP, 900 on their legal education. When they get through examining a clients case they pre- pare a report. The judge or his associates pass on it, sometimes amend it, and then make the client pay all he can. That's the practice of law simplified in one of the big cities. 5
 But these young hounds" says the judge. in his thunderous voice, resign their posi- tions just as fast as we get them trained so that they can be of some use. Think of the craven dishonesty they displayi We give them access to the best legal library in the city. they have the advantage of our guid- ance, they are associated with firm known in every capital of the world, and just be- cause some one offers them a few paltry dollars more week they desert--yes, sir, Desert is the word--to our rivals" t

A FIRE-DEPARTMENT DIVIDEND

Birmingham's fire department has declared a dividend. How else is one to interpret the reduction of fifteen per cent. in insurance rates for this entire municipality? The next time it becomes necessary to obtain funds to expand the fire department of this city, no more effective argument could be used than to publish the figures representing the annual saving to property-owners on insurance premiums. To be sure, even if there had been no reduction in insurance rates the fire de- pertinent pays for itself twenty times over each year, but it is harder to put the figures of fire prevention in accurate totals. But this rate reduction can be very closely esti- mated in annual totals. People sometimes come to take their fire mad police protection as matters of course, without realizing their actual cash value, which always is many times greater than their cost of maintenance. The lowering of insurance rates is the acco- Jade of the insurance companies upon the fire department of Birmingham. These i'm surance men are hardened. cautious and prone to give such recognition a long time after it is due; so, If they have said our fire protection has become efficient, it may be taken as an absolute demonstrable fact that The insurance companies will be quite prompt also in raising rates again, if our fire-fighting efficiency should decline. Consequently, when it becomes necessary to expand the equipment and the fire-fighting forces, this citizenship may rest assured that it is an unimpeachable investment and not an ire vocable expenditure of public funds.

 My hat is off to you for the efforts of your paper on behalf of the people of Ala bama to have the money derived from the good roads bond issue expended in the man ner we were led to believe it would be when we voted this bond issue upon ourselves
 There is one amazing situation, or, to put it more charitably, a strange coincidence Tn the way two members of the commission voted with reference to the location of the roads through Greene and Dallas counties. l am informed that Mir. Suttle voted with Mr. Rogers for the Gainesville detour and that Mir. Rogers voted with Mir. Suttle for the Selma route. Mir. Scruggs, I am told, voted mo- to both propositions. Passing up the inference so readily drawn from the you vote for me, I vote for you" coincidence, is If not hard to conceive that any two right-think- ing men would consent to act as both judge and jury in a matter in which they were so vitally interested and then award their yer dict to themselves? Nowhere have seen a denial that this very thing happened. 'The time has come for change in the administra- tion of our road affairs.

CLINCHING PROSPERITY

The railroads are placing large orders here for rails and other equipment. They are pushing expansion plans. Their improve ment programs are admittedly for the pur- pose of larger capacity to meet increased de- mands arising from general industrial prog ress and expansion.
 There is nothing on the 1924 industrial and commercial horizon that even resembles a cloud. The fuel situation has been settled for period of years. There are no serious labor troubles. In spite of high costs of materials, building operations show marked progress in nearly every part of the country. Unemploy- ment is at minimum. The demand for ma
