Engineers Will Inspect
Muscle Shoals District
AS Convention Aftermath

To See Muscle ShOals-The special
train of visitors to the institute meeting
will leave Thursday morning for Shelf
field, where they will make an inspec-
ton of the Muscle Shoals plants. 1t was
said Wednesday by President William
Kelly of the institute that the plants
were considered of such immense i'm
portance it was safe to assume they
would be developed by some big interest
and made to serve this part of the coun-
try in a power way, while they served
other sections of the country in other
ways.
Right On Time-The special train
Wednesday operated over the Louis
vile and Nashville was handled by A.
B. Luster, engineer; Walter Davidson,
conductor, with John Franklin, train
master, in general charge. The special
was also accompanied by r. e. Weaver,
Terminal trainmaster of the Louisville
and Nashville, and J. III. Settle, divi-

operate the train on time and from
the time they assumed charge until it
came into the shed not one moment of
the schedule was lost.
Pipe Plant Lauded-The engineers
who visited the pipe. plant at North
Birmingham were of the opinion that
the location of such plants here, con-
sumig a majority of the iron produced

excursion to the pipe works was con-
sidered fitting end to the days in

Mrs. ROden Mystified-Mrs. Ben
Roden was again with the engineers
Wednesday and while she is well in
formed about coal mines, she was some

|REYNDERS LAUDS
DISTRICT
AS UNSURPASSED
Thanks City On Behalf Of
Visitors For Cordial
ity Shown

The verdict of the visiting mining
engineers as to the Birmingham district
was summed up at the banquet Wednes-
day night at the Country club by J.
V. Reynders, the. vice president when
he declared in his address that ten
minutes in Birmingham was worth a
life time in Pittsburg. And while the
famous bridge builder may have been
influenced by the hospitality of Bir-
mingham he followed by saying that the
wonderful resources of this district had
scarcely been touched and that every
thing done here had been accomplished
within the life time of the institute.
The banquet was started nearly a
hour late and during the dinner the
time was utilized for dances in which
nearly all the guests joined. The meet
ing was addressed by only three men,
President William Kelly, Mr.. Reynders
and John MacLeash, director of mines
for the dominion of Canada.
George G.. Crawford presided as
toastmaster and opened the banquet
William Kelley was more inclined to
talk of the proper education of boys
than of the ore mines SO that he spoke
OH the important part engineers play
in the communities wherein they re-
side and encouraged the thought that
all young men should play a worth
while part in community life. He said
the development of character and per-
sonality was the big thing in life.
He was followed by Mr.. Reynders,
who is known all over the world as
abridge builder and steel expert. He
opened his address by provoking the
first laughs of the session. He said:
This morning when greeted one
of our hosts in the hotel lobby before
breakfast by asking him how he felt, he
Lad the unexpected reply, Feel. Sir?
At this time of day, sir feel as any
gentleman from Alabama feels, sir! At

THI, CANDinATES.

As the campaign def-.,p7 'n2 char acteristics of the two men, absolutely
 different types, who a~a running for the office Of mayor O. the city be come moro apparent, Last nigh
 Judge Aliing declared flat he was mo talkcr." His speech. however, rather bclicd his statement. He talked very well indeed. Apparently he was unrufflcd and had his well trained , mind in good working order 70 pre- sent his view of the facts aions cer- tain lines. His statements may be questioned by some: there may be dis puted poiRs But the candidates be- lief in the truth of his allegations can not be questioned. Judge Al'ing was at his best. and his best in the line of logical statement and intelligent mar shaling of arguments is very good in deed.
 Mayor Paoncssa is not reported anywhere 10 have said that he is mo talker." He is undoubtedly smarting under the distortion Of his words and attitude by those unfriendly 70 him. For instance he has been character ized as "venomous.' 1T the word were not such malignant one there would come the inclination 10 laugh at its being applied to Mayor Pao- nessa who, despite his warm blood, is as far from being .'yenomous" as one may we'll imagine a man 10 be. Mayor Paonessa is not effective as talker to those who arc accustomed to calm mental processes.
 During the present mayors admin alton he has won the respect and con ndence of many people who did moi vote for him two years ago. He has won that respect. that confidence, by what he has done, not by what he has said.
 Naturally the inference should not be drawn that Judge Alling would be q less worthy mayor because he has logical, welI-trained mind and is able 10 talk well. Undoubtedly his well-trained mind would be an asset 10 the city were he in city hall direct ing the city affnrs. But the fact re- mains that the office of mayor Of New Britan requires less Of this quality than Of the possession of knowledge Of the city and all its people, their intimate needs. their trials and the history of political affairs in this city. These attributes are possessed by Mayor Paonesss.

 purpose of suggesting the wisdom of cutting out the information given in

 if the readers Of the Herald do not preserve flle Of the newspaper, this summary Of facts; clipped and pre- served, would be a valuable slip of paper for reference in the future. Thc date of the publication should bc added. showing that upon this date New Britain had so many dwelling houses, valued at a certain total: so many stores; so many cars: SO many policemen, and in fact. informaiior that pictures Now Britain in figures pretty Thoroughly as New Britain is in the month Of April, 1924.
 In that list are the answers 10 many questions frequently asked of resi- dents Of the city. Epbarrassment often follows failure to- be informed on these matters, to. say nothing or the greater disadvantage 10 the city in which you liye that comes from your evident ,aek Of knowledge eon- cerning its affairs and it's advantages.
 Many of us are indifferent 10 saess such as these. We are satisfied to ask when We want To know if we have certain facilities here. And many of us are aston!shcd to find how many good things there arc right be- fore our eyes that we knew nothing ef The list referred 10 took much time and study and "legsing it" to gather the data necessary for it's preparation.

REFT SAL TO ENDORSE.

Of course there was no reason for the good citizen Of the city 10 be alarmed when the organization known as the City Safety League refused to endorse either the republican or the democratic candidate for the mayor atty. If there was difference of opinion among the members it was quite seemly, Of course, for the league as body not to go on record as en- dorsing either. We remained quitc calm when the news Of such failure to act was received.
 But there followed the further news which alarms. No comment was made with the announcement yesterday morning as to the reasons for the failure to endorse either candidate. What could this mean? Could there be any reason for such failure to en- dorse other than a lack Of unanimity of opinion among the members Of the league? If that was the reason--and 2 proper reason it would be--why was the information not given out 10 an anxious electorate many of which were waiting to know how the estim- able league felt about the candidates? How is the honestly undecided person 10 know for whom he may vote in safety if the league does not lead tho
 way or tell thar the reason for its
 failure 10 take a stanG is an honest
 difference of opinion among the members. Can 1t mean that the league considers neither of them proper men 10 head the city adminis- tration' If this so, what is the poor voter to do. distressed as he is like rudderless ship at sea?
 Certainly an organization Of the nature of the Civic Safety League can not intend to suggest, by its action. that its members will not vote for either candidate. Why, one Of the first'things we learned when reaching the age Of discretion and daily shaw ing. was that the first duty of the good citizen vas 10 go to the polls and vote. And, Of course, one should never be afraid to state for whom he is going 10 vote-and thus stating his inten- tion is an endorsement. I}nt if. by any chance, the failure of the leagnc 10 endorse either candidate means that the league members, feeling neither candidate. is worthy. win vote for heither, is the league setting an good example to voters Of inc city remain away from the polls on cleo ton day?
 In fairness 10 the league it should be said that we believe iis members will do their duty and cast their bal 1 lots for ono of the candidates az all good citizens should --and the mcm- bers of the league are certainly good citizens. But one may humbly sug- gest that tho league would aid its mite 1 in the proper endcavor to have the full Oppression Of the peoples opinion on election day were 1t 10 come out Of it's majestic silence and state plain ] iy that refusal to endorse did mol | mean advising against voting al all. j hut did mean that there was not full . political harmony in the league.
 Surely the league does not preach ! . policy Of political inaction. Surely | 1t does not want to stand as de- l srnctive force only without thought . Of constructive action.
