THE MEXICAN VIEW

Although the Mexican press has :n some degree taken the view that the United States was in error in selling arms to the Obregon government, be- cause such policy would tend to ercour- age disorder in Mexico by melting pop ular resentment against the regime thus assisted, it appears that the opposite re- suit has occurred. The country has calmed down, De la Huerta has fled to his final refuge, and the prospect for early peace is bright. The Mexican edi- torial view is perhaps somewhat influ- enced by Mexico's history of violent poli- tics and changes in government by revo- luton. Such procedure makes Mexican constitutional government a mockery. The manner in which Obregon has fin ally upheld his authority cannot fail to have a good moral effect on his people.
 One Mexican journal remarks that if Secretary Hughes had recognized Obre- gon two years ago the benefit to Mexico would have been much greater. The same newspaper goes on to say that there has been no change in Mexican law since the beginning of the present regime, and therefore no late additional reason for recognition that did not exist in the beginning. Of course, this is er- roneous. Article 27 of the Mexican con- stitution was plainly intended to be re- troactive and confiscatory in it's applica- tion, and was so regarded by both the Carranza and the Obregon governments, although personally disavowed by Obre- gon. It was only after the Mexican su- preme court had formally declared the article should be applied in neither a retroactive nor confiscatory manner that this government could safely as- sume that the official practice up to that time was not to be upheld and to continue.

TOUGH ON TEACHER
(San Francisco Chronicle)


 The rural school teacher who boards with the farmers family will have to do her own cooking or go hungry. The automobile has made it pretty hard going for the mistress of the little red school house. Time was when the family. that housed the school mar considered itself honored and every member danced attendance on the little lady whom the district hired to teach the young idea how to shoot. She had twenty-one meals week prepared for her and had the best room in the house. She still has the best room. but the meals-she has to be content with "pot-luck" or cook her own.
 Dad and ma have flivver now and they don't propose to be tied down to home when the roads are good. the sun shines or there is shindig' in town. Teachers meal time is nothing in their gay lives. Richard Werner state supervisor of agricultural instruction. has been looking over the situation and sug gests that if the rural teacher is inclined to eat she will have to take course in to- nestle science.
 Why not: The farmer family will supplv the stove, the fuel and the other essentials.

MASS MEETINGS DECISION

It seems that great measure of pub lie sentiment is in favor of separate election on the question of issuing school bonds. If the people desire that, there is no good reason why their wishes should not be respected. The majority thought that the school needs should be dissociated even from the greatly-needed and desired expanded library facilities. The library, however, may well come within the scope of the general municipal program of development, that this com munity's growing needs now make i'm perative. That should be insisted on.
 Perhaps the most efficient outcome of the mass meetings deliberations, was the decision to inquire into the actual financial situation, in order that the building program may be intelligently outlined to proceed in accordance with known resources. Let the question of finance be properly worked out and presented, and there is good reason to believe that the people of Birmingham will not withhold their consent to this imperatively needed construction, in or der that Birmingham's school needs may be surely safeguarded, and provided for.

REAL MUNICIPAL GROWTH

Every estimate of Birmingham's pop ulation, whether based upon school at tendance, or water, light, and gas con- sumers, shows that the city proper, as we'll as the suburbs and immediate sur rounding territory, is rapidly growing. Engineers of the telephone company, gathering data for the new telephone di- rectory, estimated the city's population as 235,000. That appears to be conser- vative, and is founded on fairly reliable data. In 1920 the official census gave Birmingham about 179,000, though it was then believed that the figures were about twenty thousand short. There is reason to assume that the city's popula- ton is increasing at the rate of about twelve thousand a year.
 What does this mean? There is only one answer-that Birmingham must be- stir itself to take care of the rapid in crease. This growth is not confined to population. There is expansion and de- : velopment in every field of industry Whica call for enlargement and improve nasI1 If municipal needs included in the public service. Not only that, but erea.er efficiency in administration of mhnicpsl affairs is demanded as a con- sequence of rninaiunity growth, and ln- "-aas' pdDilc responsibilities and de- .nands for revenue.
 No city can be truly said to grow symmetrically, if its people are deprived of those things which are necessary for the public welfare. No city may be truly said to develop if its people are discontented because they are not get ting what they have right to expect from the municipality itself.
 Thus the importance, the necessity, of realization by the people not only that they must undertake new financial re- responsibilities, but that they must choose as their official representatives men of character and ability to administer those responsibilities with the single purpose of the public welfare. That is commu- nity growth in its constructive sense.

AN uNwELCoME IMMIGRANT

Last summer, in commenting on the periodicity of influenza waves, a scien- tist predicted that new epidemic would hit this country in March or April, and that it would probably not be virulent owing to the seasonal lateness of its coming. Such epidemics do not appear to thrive in warm weather, possibly be- cause people take more exercise and are more in the open air. That such an cpl demic will reach here next month takes on stronger color of probability owing to the fact that the British Isles are now in influenza's grip-no pun being in- tended The total number of influenza deaths in the United Kingdom last week was 367 reported, with possibly many others that escaped tabulation. In these days of fast-sailing ships the epidemic should reach our shores shortly, unless some sort of quarantine precautions are adopted. Here is a practical case in which our Republican friends might dem onstrate the benefits of that splendid iso- lation which they preach.

Some Pleasing Fiction

sExcuse me for c moment. while indulgs in little pleasing fiction. 7 i have been telling the truth % long that am vexry, and would fain lie . little.

Thd yanns couple lived in n small apartment, had simple anausements wore inexpensive clothed md were happy The wife did her own vork. and the husband used to stop ou hi9 vay home and buy pork chops. He smoked 5.cent cigars occasionally and pipe gent erally. He got on. Within ten years hif never moved out of the cheap apartmentI Tbe woman continued te wear the sand nnslitv If clothes Their expenses were ini creased only by the necessary additional out lay for three babies.

THE LEGIoNs' MEMORIAL TREES

There seems to be much popular ap- proval of the plan of the American Le- zion to plant oak trees along the Bir- mingham-Jasper section of the Bankhead Highwav. The beautifying of highways in the South has not been followed as much as in some other sections, nor as much as in England, other European countries, and even China and Japan. Yet it is a custom that has material as we'll as esthetic value. In the case of the projected planting for the Bankhead Highway, it has also the emblematic value of memorializing the war dead of this community. It is understood that the water-oak has received the approval of the Legion, on the advice of horticul- turists. The public is invited to cooper ate with contributions addressed to the American Legion Post No. One, Bir- mingham. Where there is no duplication the Legion will be glad to plant indi- vidual trees in the specific memory of any hero designated by the donor.
 This is fine example the Legion is setting this community, and should be emulated along other main highways. In Baldwin county the various commu- mites along the Old Spanish Trail from Mobile Bay to the Florida line are plant ing oceans and kumquats, the latter be- ing low citrus bush, capable of hedge or mass planting and bearing for a con- siderable portion of the year. fall and winter, an abundance of golden fruit about an inch or so in linear diameter It is hoped to obtain from these plant ings a certain revenue to be applied to highway upkeep. It is worth while, even if there should be no revenue Other so1munities have similar programs in various ztages of progress. This com munity can we'll afford to follow such a program, both cooperating with the Legion. to complete its particular pro- jact, and then extending the plantings to o.' highways.

SHOALS AND ALL ALABAMA

The statement that acquisition of Mus cle Shoals by the power trust would mean cheap and abundant power for Alabama, although put forth by indi- viduals here and there, is evidently part and parcel of the general power trust propaganda. It would in the first place have no effect on rates in Alabama, unless the power company should sue ceed with some future Public Service Commission in putting over such pre- posterously high valuation as almost succeeded year ago, which would, if successful, of course affect rates up- ward. Nor would the power trust re- serve this power for Alabama, but would turn it into it's continental lines for distribution far and wide. Ala bama's advantage, and the advantage of contiguous territory, lie not along that line.
 Aside from the direct benefit to agri- culture that would come out of lower priced fertilizers, there is general state benefit that is sometimes lost sight of. An industrial development of great ex- tent in North Alabama would mean the production of goods for export. That a most direct route to seaboard would be from Muscle Shoals to the Warrior thence to Mobile is not disputable. That such a routing is contemplated is indicated by Ford's request for right of way from Muscle Shoals to Lock IT, the water power rights to which, by the way, the Alabama Power Company recently made an unsuccessful attempt to acquire. Any great addition to the business of the Warrior would insure its success beyond any peradventure of a doubt,
 When the Warrior barge line is made permanently successful, the next logical development in Alabama would be the canalizing of the Coosa and the removal of bars from the Alabama so as to give uninterrupted navigation from Rome, Georgia, to Mobile. This would mean a stimulus to Selma, Montgomery, We tumpka, Gadsden and intervening points. It would mean the more extensive de- velopment of the great natural resources of the Coosa valley which await only cheap transportation to come into their proper exploitation. Thus it is per ceived that no part of the state is omit ted from a direct share in the benefit that will arise from the industrial de- velopment of the Tennessee Valley, a development that the acceptance of the Ford offer will promote, and which the acceptance of the power trusts bid will kill Which shall it be?

WATCHING THE PARADE
By JOHN PILGRIM

Four blackhead duck have made tre4 mendous improvement in Arimon P. Notf tingham's character Fact is, they have built it over. He is no longer the sort of al man one would think he is after hearing his
 name. He used to be just that sort of aI man. Or worse.
 II shall 20 duck hunting with the Kelt leys" he told me at the beginning of thet season. ..It is a matter of business. dol not care much for the Kelleys, but wantE to interest them in my proposition"
 Listen I said. Listen. Can you shoot duck? Because flivver in the blindsE is a cause of great sorrow. If you're yeryt bad, the Kelleys will probably kill you"
 tArimon P. Nottingham said heavily that he could. certainly kill duck. His mannerE indicated that he could do anything. He said that he had once been a good hand with aI gun, and that she could pick up the artE again in a few shots. The Kelleys told mel after his first day in the blind that he wasI the most complete nuisance they had evert soon. But he was so open-eyed and inter- ested and jolly that they bore with him. r We didn't know he could be that sortE of a fellow" they said. The second day Nottingham killed four duck by four of the sheerest flukes on reel ord: He killed no more. although he shotE manfully until the season ended. But theI ducks, or the associations, or the escapeis from Mrs. A. r. Nottingham, who is theI most complete crab that ever back-pedalledI on cheer and sociability and warmth, orE the absence from high-polished and over
 stuffed office made Nottingham into a newl mah.' The glow of the evening fire in theE duck club seems to have penetrated his soul The stories he heard pried open a nature that was closing like an oyster. Elbow-rub-
 ping with the big, hearty, red-cheeked meat- eaters broke through his barrier of aloof1 ness. It seems now that the only trouble
 with Arimon P was that he had the wrongl slant at himself. He thought he is a good
 deal more important to the world than he really is.
 A good session at duck hunting might dol the rest of us some good. We get into theI. clutch of circumstance and do not know it most complete crab that ever back -jedalledl out of our rut.

THE NEWCASTLE CONSULATE


 It is reported that Premier MacDon- aid is desirous of adjusting the contro- versy with the United States over the consulate at Newcastle. It is recalled that the British government almost two years ago closed the consulate on the charge that the Americans were making improper use of their position to solicit business of American lines to the preju- dice of British lines. The American gov ernment at once repudiated any inten- tion of the sort and made careful in- quiry into the alleged misconduct of the consular agents at Newcastle. The in- quiry failed to reveal any such miscon- duct and exonerated the American off cials in the view of the American gov ernment. The British refused, however, to reopen the consulate with the incum- bents complained of, and it has remained unopened to this day. It is evident that the British are in the wrong, and it is Premier MacDonald's move.

PHAROAH HAS, A, GRIEVANCE
(New York Times) )

It seems hard that Tut-ankh-amen, who doubtless ascribed enormous importance to having everything just right in the equip ment of his tomb. should have had to sleep for more than 5000 years in a sarcophag gus with a cracked lid. That indicated a cyni- cal carelessness in those who had the con tract for putting the king properly away for his long sleep. They saved money by not sticking to what presumably were the care fully devised specifications. but if it ever has or ever will make any difference to Tut-ankh-amen how he was entombed. imag- inc his humiliation and possible loss if, on the Great Day. the top of his stone coffin had come off in two pieces. while the other Pharoahs stood around and derided him.
 Seemingly there is now nothing to do about the laches of those funeral directors or morticians, to use the very latest substi- ute for "underaker, but the possibilities of the kings anger and injury surely are de- Serving of serious consideration from the people who so solemnly have credited him with the power to pQnish dissertation of his grave.
