A GOOD APPOINTMENT

In appointing Captain Leon Schwarz as sheriff of Mobile county Governor Brandon has happily upheld the aroused public opinion in Mobile in behalf of law and order. Captain Schwarz has never sought public office, although often inn portuned to do so by his friends He IS in no way affiliated with either the polit- ical or the rum group in Mobile, but has always been distinguished for his ac- tivity in civic and non-political pro- grams looking to the public betterment. He is held in high esteem, not alone be- cause of his ability and congenial dis position, but also because of his serious purpose in behalf of Mobile. He is sue cessful in his private business, as poli- ticians too often are not. The governor appointment will receive ready approval in Mobile and elsewhere among those who believe that the duty of an officer of the law is to the people and not to violators of the law. Those who so be- lieve are in the overwhelming majority in Mobile, as has been abundantly proved by public sentiment repeatedly expressed in behalf of law and order and the pun ishment of those guilty of conspiracy to defeat the law.

ALABAMA DAY

An important anniversary in the his tory of Alabama falls on December IA, commemorating the, admission Of the state into the Union. Because the day comes on Sunday the governor asks that it oL observed on the twelfth so that the schools might properly celebrate lt. It IS known as Alabama Day." What more appropriate than that the schools ot the state should give it proper recognition! It is through the schools that history IS made, and that the states development is largely achieved. But for that great fac.or in the industrial, civic and moral progress of this or any other states, the record would be less bright.
 The history of Alabama is one of romance and material advancement. It was admitted into the union of states Tn 1919. Since that time it has developed from a wilderness to a vast area of 1n- dustrial and civic achievement. It ranks twentv-eighth in size among the states, and eighteenth among the states in pop ulation, according to the 1920 census. In natural resources it is one of the wealth jest of all states. New material riches are continually discovered. Its natural advantages, it's splendid climate, it's hos pitable citizenry and it's progressive spirit are leading it into wider and wider recog- milton.
 The school children of Alabama could do nothing better for themselves than to know Alabama. It has history worth knowing, By familiarizing themselves with that history they will gather in- spiration to contribute directly to the states progress and development The more the school children know of Ala bama, therefore, the greater impetus for participation in it's advancement. Ala bama's destiny is no less glorious than her history, and inspired by the one we press onward to achieve the other.

BESSEMER'S Y. M. C. A. DRIVE

Bessemer's Y. M. c. A. campaign de- serves the sympathetic and generous re- sponse of the community. That such re- sponse is forthcoming was shown by the collection of almost thirty thousand dol lars the first day of the solicitation. In giving to this cause most men are merely repaying an obligation, for they are now contributing to the expansion of the same influence that has at some time or other been of benefit, enjoyment or service to themselves. Although the Y. M. c. A. is religious in its general intent, its widest appeal lies in the fact that it is non sectarian. Body, Mind and Spirit form the triangle of it's purpose. It is its fund amental conception that healthy mlnd and healthy body engender healthy spirit, just as healthy spirit leads to due regard for the health of mind and body. There is an indissoluble mutual ity about these three factors in the human makeup which has been proved out abundantly by the Y. M. c. A. service and its results.
 The Y. M. c. A. seeks in no manner or degree to supplant the church or any church, but rather to supplement the churches. It furnishes comparatively many of those community benefits and opportunities that the individual churches cannot afford. It forms also an inn portant link between members and non- members of churches, for the Y. M. c. A. bars no applicant for it's benefits who aspires to profit by them. It is not proselyting institution, yet it's activities revolve in an atmosphere of reverence for the right that insensibly inclines it's membership towards sympathy for if not actual membership in the churches. When a community literally supports its Y. M. c. A. and places it's administration under a directorate of conscientious and en- frightened character, it has developed for itself an influence for good that is inn measurable No community can afford to be without an influence of this kind.

soon as its destination was determined. This absurdity the lower courts properly denied, and were upheld by the federal supreme court. The tax is operative at the time of severance, and the fact that the measurement of the tonnage takes place after the destination of the goods is fixed does not destroy the right of the state to collect. Otherwise, there would be connivance between the federal gov ernment and a corporation to deprive a state of constitutional right. However the lawyers of the trust thought there was chance of putting this monstrous interpretation over, and that is the sort of tasks some trusts hire lawyers to at tend to.

 Wilson's Words
 THE YOUNG German army officers study ing at the Kriegsschule (Military
 Acadenmy) at Potsdam have completed their review of the causes of Germany's de- feat in the great war. Under the expert guidance of General Won Seeckt they have come to the conclusion that no other than the grandson of the great Won Moltke must be held responsible in history for the deDacle: Unlike his ancestor, who used "the plains Of Sedan as the pestle and the German armies as the mortar" to smash the glory ot Ma poleon III, the grandson allowed the father land to come to grief through his Vacillat1ng policy. As an instance we are given the case of Verdun Von Motke was quartermaster general. The crown prince was directing the attacks upon the forts and upon Dead Man Hill Half million German corpses lay piled up and as many Frenchmen. The crown prince demanded more divisions to smash hls way through "in the colossal attempt" The carnage and butchery was so great that even Won Moltke hesitated and demurred and held up troop movements to the Verdun front. The young German students, engrossed III the terrible military operations, have over looked one thing in reaching their final con clusions. That something are the words of Woodrow Wilson: We are not fighting the German people, but the spirit of autocracy.' Those words were mightier than the allied army corps They were the wedge driven be- tween the Hohenzolern family and the peo- pie of Germany. Those words sounded the doom of kaiserism.

has been expressed. Taking it all in all, however, as compared with the Ford offer it represents net loss to the pub lie. In the first place, for period of five or six years it places the annual amount of fertilizer to be produced at a total much less than Ford offered to produce. In the second place, the likeli- hood of finding somebody to undertake the proposition is problematical, whereas Ford was ready and willing to under take it.
 The public right appears to be leopard ized also in another particular, and that is the small likelihood of finding some body whose experience in mass produc- ton would enable him to manufacture the product at the low cost expected of Ford. If Henry Ford had been allowed to produce this fertilizer to the amount of forty thousand tons annually so as to market it at price materially below that now prevailing, the fertilizer trust would not, in the face of that showing, have been able to continue its high price levels. That is probably, in the final analysis, the real reason why the Ford offer failed and yet its twin is being put forward. The present measure is to the Ford offer as Hamlet without Hamlet.

The Right Word
NOT A CONTRADICTION
By W. CURTIS NICHOLSON


 It is an exception, the use of plural verb with none. No one is singular, but while none originally meant no one or not one usage has established the fact that either singular or plural verb may follow the word none.
 However, Elmer F. Johnson of Chicago writes, Tn a recent article you defend the singular and plural forms of the word none In a subsequent discussion you say that such words as any one, each, and no one are always followed by singular verbs.
 It has been my understanding that none is contraction of no one in which case the singular verb should follow"
 There is no contradiction in the two state ments that "The Right Word" has made. None has been recognized as either singular of the word no longer influences its number. Observe the truth of this statement in your reading from time to time.
 Is Corporation Singular?
 To Leila Wade, New York City One usual ly thinks of a corporation in the singular mum Der when he determines the number of verb of which the corporation is the subject or of a pronoun or noun that refers to it; as. We have asked H. B. Blank, Inc, for its special consideration
 The Objective With the Infinitive.
 To John A. Berger, New York City: The subject of an nfinitive is in the objective case as, l asked him to come. When an lnflnltlve such as to be has a subject, which must be in objective case, and is followed by a pro- noun referring to the subject, the pronoun is in the objective case; as, We knew it to be him. When to be has no subject and is fol- lowed by a pronoun, the pronoun is in the nominative case; as, How should you like to be l?

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

|NNE of footballs near-heroes told the | story of his life the other day. He was
 as poor as winter catbird when he lessor and stated his case.
 II want job," said he.
 He got one tending furnace. Every one regarded him highly. He was doing an ad- mirable and a necessary thing. He led his class in scholarship. But he was a zero socially, he never went to dances, and the fraternities did not seek him to join. Yet he knew that he was good-looking clever, and that his family was as good, if not better, than nine out of ten of the college stars
 "What's the matter?" he asked himself.
 The answer was that he had not used the jolly old bean. Tending furnace is, as has been said, an admirable and necessary occupa- tion, but furnace tender is furnace-tender.
 II must stop tending furnace" said he to himself And must sell myself to my class. Otherwise I'll lose most of the advantage of college"
 He was husky, wiry, fearless kid who was good football material. As long as he played the game he did not enjoy it. He liked baseball and boxing, but he compelled himself to play good football because it was lever by which he could win advancement. No sooner had he joined the squad than he was whisked out of that furnace-tending job. His feet were set in the path which later led to real achievement.
 q don't like that story," said football man. "He didn't play the game for the game s sake"
 Well, I like it. That boy used his brain and his opportunities. More credit to him, when he didn't like the game.

Our public schools come in for good deal of criticism, much of it deserved. But there are two sides to every question, and the query, What is right with the schools! mas re ceiyed less attentoin than it should have had. In this connection a writer in the Journal Of the National Educational association points out that, while the public and private ex- penditures for education in this country are wholly out of proportion to our means and to outlays for less important objects, the progress is none the less remarkable. He says for example, that had the population of the United States increased as rapidly as school attendance the population in 1922 would have been 216227 ,633 instead of 109, PAS ,393! The enormous increase in attendance at the higher schools is another significant advance. It IS no longer a reproach that so large propor- tion of the children drop out in the lower ele- mentary grades. It is only just, while find ing fault, to look also for things to praise.- New York Evening Post.
