There were two guys in partnership
Their names were, White and Black,
They thot guy named Brown was green
And they'd take all his ''jack."
They tried to sell him gray horse
At an elaborate price.
And had their plans all carried
No doubt twouid have been nice
But now you see Brown was we'll "read"
And here's what he did do;
He took away all their 'long green"

has been moving, in reply to his assailants he has been remarkably effective. Quick tc see an opening, and to take advantage of it. Mir. Davis has often made great play in ex- posing the falIacies or the weaknesses of his antagonists. Nothing could have been more ready and conclusive, for example, than his reply to Secretary Hughes, who had incauI tiousIy asserted that in the west the Demo- cratic party was 'shot to pieces" Mir. Davis taking up western state after state, and speci1 flying senators and others by name, showed amusingly and effectively what party 1t is that is really shot to pieces. in the west, and that it is not the democratic.
 Mir. Davis has latterly been dwelling more and more positively upon the chief strategic aspect of the campaign. This lies in tho fact that the Republican party is badly split and can no longer deny it. All that the Dem ocrats have to do is to hold their ranks firm in order to defeat divided enemy. Why shoRld any Democrat hesitate about voting for John Davis? His high character and spej ciaI equipmentiare winning for him the sup port of many Republicans. A Democratic detection from him would be, about the most absurd thing, from a party point of view that could be imagined. MT. Davis has made fine campaign. He is stout of heart and strong of arm. He has fought good fight
 He has deserved success whether he com mands it or not. The decision rests not witt him but with the loyalty of his own party
 and the patriotic judgment of independent lvoters.-New York Times.

 Mir.

This initial step is pre- paratory to broader campaign to, advertise in a legitimate way this district throughout the United States.
 am particularly gratified to note in your editorial your hearty spirit of cooperation and your thorough understanding that this pro posed campaign is to be based on real and substantial facts about Birmingham, which facts our city has the right to make known to the world.
 The Birmingham Real Estate Board does not intend to lend itself to an unworthy cam paign of insincere exaggeration that inevita- bly, brings about its own just penalty. The merits of Birmingham do not need exaggera- ton {; but they do deserve to be known to the world.

Y YIGH hopes were entertained of the F ability of MT. John w. Davis to conduct with skill and vigor the Democratic campaign. He has not disappointed them.
 Facing a task of. great difficulty, he has addressed himself to it with the shrewdness of practical man of business and the argu- mentative and persuasive force of an unusual ly talented writer and speaker. MT. Davis unquestionably had a big job thrust upon him when he was nominated for the presi- dency. First of all, he had to endeavor to reconstruct and inspire his party organiza- ! tion. It had been left badly shattered and dispirited by the disputes and animosities of the Democratic national convention. Hence the earliest duty laid upon Mir. Davis was to ease friction where it had been created, to
 bring antagonistic party workers together, and to infuse into committees, both national and state, hopeful and fighting spirit. All the evidence goes to show that Mir. Davis has done this necessary work with high degree
 of success Out of a Respondent party, he has made one aggressive and expectant.
 On the stump Mir. Davis has displayed the qualities which his friends knew him to pos sess. He has done nothing mean or unfair. His speeches have been a compliment to the intelligence of the audiences which he has addressed. Seizing upon the issues which
 had been made for him, he has argued them
 with a force and variety and dignity which
 have compelled the admiration even of his po- litical enemies. And if in direct appeal he

point is it is sordid process--this grant ing special privilege at the expense of the people, and then having the party perpetuated in power by great sums of money contributed to these beneficiaries. It is not the amount of money but the method of painless dentistry by which 1t is being extracted that indicts the G. o. F." ....
 The New York World contents itself with calling the Western Republican farmers attention to the manner in which the Eastern wing of the party is seeking to maintain their position of being able to lay tribute upon the farmers of the West along with the rest of the people. The Borah inquiry is damaging, and would be more SO if it had been possible to hold it somewhat earlier in the campaign. As it is, doubtless it will have more effect in alienating Republican support than Republican leaders have seemed to realize

STATE TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL.

The public value of any undertaking lis measured only by it's results. In many cases such value is sensed rather than &C.,
 curately determined. If the public is sat lisfied, the success is taken for granted. In measures for protecting the pubic health the vital statistics are so kept that | it is easy to calculate the results. For
 the past twenty years there has been or
 ranized efforts to control and diminish i tuberculosis, once regarded as incurable and inevitable, if one were 'predisposed'' that way. Time was, and well within the
 memory of most citizens, when one taken
 with consumption was regarded as
 doomed, the only question being whether Il his death would be a quick or lingering
 one. with the chances in favor of the latter. s..p ,-
 l Nowadays, all informed people know
 that consumption is neither inevitable nor lincurable. On the contrary, its continued
 existence is a reproach on civilized and enlightened nation. Nevertheless, 1t IS already a vanishing disease. Since the beginning of concerted and organized ef- forts to wipe out tuberculosis, the deatn
 rate has fallen from POS to 9S per one hundred thousand inhabitants. In other
 words, less than half as many people die from consumption now as formerly. Tms is only the average, however. In some localities the death rate is far higher than the average, and in some localities far lower. The difference lies Tn the fact that some communities and some states
 have taken measures to protect them selves against this plague, while others
 have not.
 There are at least two tuberculosis sanatoriunns in Alabama; one in Birming-- ham and one at Mobile, both provided with endowment and funds by local sub scription. It is felt, nopetheless, that the communities unable thus to provide themselves with similar institutions should have such protection, and that it IS the duty of the state to provide it. It IS es- timated that the cost of a state sanato- rum for the tubercular would be around a million dollars. That appears to be very modest estimate, especially com pared to the benefit that would come from it's proper service. It is question the state should consider earnestly and
 thoughtfully.' 4 -as " i; Secretary Weeks solemnly warns the lcountry against Charles W. Bryan, De- cause he has not made known hls % views
 and thus has kept people in the dark con
 corning his position. on public affairs,
 The same might be said regarding the views of Charles G. Dawes, although he has talked lot. And what about MT.
 Coolidge, who has kept even more silent than MT. Bryan? It is not the Re
 publicans' turn to upbraid a candidate for being silent. Besides, it is not
 strictly true of MT. Bryan, who has made several modest but very explicit speeches,
 which MT. Weeks doubtless has over looked.

ONTARIO VOTES DRY.

Although it has been sought to con vey the impression in this country that our Canadian neighbors make joke of our prohibition law, it seems as mat ter of fact that such an attitude does not prevail across our northern border. The province of Ontario voted in pop ular election last week to continue Ontario's temperance act and to reject government control of the liquor traffic. It appears that the Canadians feel a sense of responsibility with respect to the smuggling of liquor across their bor- der into the United States, and they mean to take effective measures to stop the practice and to cooperate with our pro- hibition agencies. That is not the de. cision merely of a government, but of the majority of the voting population ot the province of Ontario. The result of the election is significant and should have a sobering effect upon Americans with respect to their attitude towards their own law. The Canadians can enforce their laws, and it is matter of pride for Americans to demonstrate the same gov ernmental efficiency.

law enforcement are the statistics of the federal government which show steady increase in enforcement activities and results. For example, as against the seizure of 95,933 illicit outfits for pro |ducing or storing liquor in 1921, there were 159,156 such seizures in 1924 in each case as of June 80, the end of the fiscal year. In 1921. there were seizures of 5, ,9O5,295 gallons of illicit liquors as against Is, ,727, 1S7 gallons in 1924. The number of arrests in 1921 was SALTS as against 6s, 161 in 1924 The increased number of arrests shows both greater present. vigilance on the part of enforce
 ment agencies, and the increment in vio- lations due to previous greater laxity. It is assumed by some that 1925 will show lessening seizures and arrests, as the ease with which the law may be evaded is lessened. The people of the United States demand that the law be enforced, and it is in answer to that demand that the law is being better enforced, the argu- ments of those who would like to see the law overturned to the contrary notwith- standing.

Objects To O'COnnOr's Speech. ,A Editor of The A0e-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Will you please allow me little space in your valuable paper to answer Mr. T. V. O'Conner's misleading and misguiding propa- ganda that he shot out against Senator La Toilette and Wheeler? l saw his speech in your paper under date of Oct. 16, 1924, where he is trying to leave the impression that money was being sent by Russia, through Mexico, to win the fight for LaFollette and Wheeler. -.-..
 MT. Thomas V. O'Connor never thought to mention how much money was being sent from the King of England to Coolidge to help him win the fight. I want to ask Mir. O'Conner what would be the difference with work ing man living under Russian ruler or an English king. This poison stuff that he shot out is just to mislead the people. am as- sured members of labor organizations are not going to be led by such men as O'Conner. l am not worried about that. What worries me is why labor organizations will allow such men to stay in them. You cannot exagge- rate the destructive effect that a small La Toilette vote would have upon present strong position of Union Labor-a position that we have secured after many years of hard, pa tient. suffering and bleeding work And now here comes Senator LaFollette and Wheeler holding out something for the farmer and all who toll, that no living man has ever Of- fered to do for us. Coolidge and Davis are as far from 1t as the EskimOes from the South Pole.
 LaFollette is offering to the labOring peo- nle, what they have been fighting for the last 40 years. He believes in taxing the wealth and taking the burden from the working class He advocates the eight-hour work day. H6 advocates protecting women and children ir public industry. In fact he indorses all the
