partridge, has given Mrs. HodSklns
some very interesting notes in bird

FInU Ql6 1uIS IAEtICHc.)
AS if the English language was not riddled
with slang!
But we must have something new and
novel periodically to engage our attention,
and one never knows what is coming next.
While crossword puzzles are helping to
develop the mind in a constructive manner,
an attempt to manufacture more slang in
wholesale lots is on.
A letter that has just been forwarded to
me suggests the following additions to our
visitation of slang:
"Oh, button your lip!'
''She thinks the Mexican border pays rent"
"She's a Wowl"
The foregoing sentences, or better still,
jargon, are offered to us as a means of i'm
proving our speech. 1t may be that some
people think we are rolling into an age of
slang and vulgarity, wherein anything in the
way of expression is tolerated or thought
clover 1t may be that there are many who
use "ain't "'tain't," "hain't", "aint got none,"
that guy" and slang that has passed the
border into the pale of vulgarity, but the
main question for each rome Of us to settle is
whether ones speech is more attractive when
it is purified and made more beautiful or when
it is debased and made common.
Certain colloquialisms may sometime be-
come good English, as may also certain slang
expressions. This has happened in the past,
despite the hue and cry of purists. 1t will
happen again. But why encourage the
propagation of culinary, vulgar speech

PROVING UP BIRMINGHAM

DR.. Ernest E. Burchard, of the United
States Geological Survey, writes IN the
Manufacturers Record of last week re-
garding the recent congress of mining
and metallurgical engineers in this city
and the legitimate claims this district
has to national attention as an IRON ana
steel center. The opinion OF TINS emil
uent scientist and engineer has WelghC
with the industry everywhere, ana, pc
ing without affiliations in this dlstrict'
he may be expected to speak with I'M
partiality when he praises its potentlai-
tiles.
AS his sober conclusion, after repeated
inspections and study of this field, Dr'
Burchard says to the readers OF the
Record: Extremely favorable impress
sions were made by the district upon the
members of the party who were visiting
it for the first time, and it IS quite GER
tain that few had realized the great eA-
tent or the permanent character OF tne
mining and industrial development. fos-
sibly the writer may be pardoned IL ne
reiterates a prophecy he has maze De-
fore to the effect that the Birmingham
district will be mining iron ore long a1ter
the Lake Superior mines have neen eA-
hausted." The people of this COM
MUMMY Will lTecly PcAl NOiA -
for this prophecy. They will go TURNER
than that and express to him their deep
appreciation of the degree to which that
Judgment has been given publicity, Tor II
is a Judgment rather than prophecy,
Judgment founded upon exact survey.
The only prophetic part is as to the y et
unmeasured veins of ore existing IN tne
neighboring ranges and even IN the val
leys.
That the verdict of DR.. Burchard is
conquered in by engineers generally Is
well attested by the current activity now
going on, somewhat below the surface,
It is true, in the contemplation ana
formation of mergers and the prospect
ing of certain nearby fields with view "
to their early development. whether II ~
is Pittsburg Plus removal, or whether IL
is that the famous Pittsburg Plus near
ings have drawn new attention to BIZ
mingham, the result is highly favoranie
to the prompt expansion of the district
present plants, operations and actlvlt1es,
and the establishment of new ones. Inc
capital of iron and steel production is
steadily and inevitably shifting to BIZ
mingham.

THE BENEyOLENCE OF DAUGHERTY.

1t is difficult to recall, since the days OF
"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, a politician who,
in the matter of publicity, has played more
directly or more benevolently into the hands
of the opposition than former Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty. In the winter of 1908,
President Roosevelt made his historic reflec-
ton on the integrity of members of congress,
for which the house formally censured him
and which led to prolonged and bitter re-
ordinations. In the midst of the general
rumpus, Roosevelt happened to turn aside to
make specific reflections on his old enemy,
Tillman, from whom, on account OF Illlman
unseemly behavior in the senate, he had once
withdrawn an invitation to dine at the White
House with Prince Henry of Prussia. Aflame
with anger, Tillman began at once daily
broadside, to which Roosevelt found ready
reply. This quickly distracted public atten-
ton from the original issue, in which Roose-
welt had ventured on thin ice and had q
weaker case. His best friend that winter was
his worst enemy.
1t had been the reiterated regret of the
Democrats that the oil scandals and the in
vestigation of the attorney general had come
so early in the year and been so largely for
gotten by the public. At this juncture along
came Mr. Daugherty, as unwlttngly beneVo-
lent as Senator Tillman, and put the whole
thing on the front page again. Seizing the
lead given them in this kindly fashion, the
Democrats at once talk of reconvening the in
vestigating committee and remind the public
that throughout the whole affair Mr.. Daugh
erty has never taken the witness stand MOI
made a sworn statement How much of a
disservice and how much of practical injustice
Mr.. Daugherty has done to President Cool
idge remains to be seen. But it cannot be de-
MED that n week which sees the revival OF
old scandals and the denomination of Governor
Smith, sees some quickening of a previously
dull campaign Republican.

IMPORTANT TO VOTE

Not only is it important that the peo.
ple of Alabama turn out tomorro" a.
the POLLS to their fullest practicable vot-
ing strength, but it is particularly lmpor-
tant that the people of this community
record their will on a number OF SUD-
iects, including the presidential choice.
In the first place, there are seven pro-
posed amendments to the state constl-
tuition, all of which deserve the popular
Approyal. All but one of the amend
rnents affect only certain counties and
authorize such counties to raise addl-
tional revenues for necessary ant- COM
mendable public improvements. The
amendments levy no tax, but merely give
the communities concerned the authority
to tax or bond themselves for objects OF
particular local concern, if they so de-
sire. The only amendment affecting the
entire state is that renting poll-taxes
ia all war veterans. Undoubtedly, Ala
hama will not refuse this measure Of
anpreciation of the fact that every Ala
hama soldier has worthily discharged
every civil obligation to this state and
every prerequisite to permanent enjoy
ment of the franchise.
There are three bond issues, one ask
ing half a million for county schools, one
asking half a million for Hillman Hos
ipital improvements, and one for a mil
lion and a half to go towards new
courthouse. AS to the desirability OF
approving the first two, there can be
but little question. 1t is extremely I'M
fortunate, however, that the program for
financing and constructing the proposed
courthouse has been so incompletely
worked out and presented to the people
Much as new courthouse is needed, the
people might very we'll demand more &C
curate program, especially as to the
method of completing the financing of
this project, before voting away the last
remaining margin of the bonding ca
