Against large navy
States That Promoters of World
Peace Movement Realize They
Cannot Gain Their End in
i
a Day
’Albert G. Bryant of Boston. Mass., or- 1
fc&nization manager of the world peace j
foundation, is in the city in the interest
of the world peace movement. He will j
apeak this morning before the Howard j
college assembly on the subject, “The
Necessity of International Low in a
World’s Society." In the afternoon he
■Will formulate plans lor starting a brunch
of the movement in Birmingham in the
form of a sub-committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce.
Tonight at S o'clock he will make a
public address at the Cable hall on Sec
ond avenue where he will be presented by
the Birmingham Equal Suffrage associa
tion to the public. Mrs. Oscar Hundley,
president of the association, will intro
duce Mr. Bryant. The meeting will be
free, and open to the general public. His
•ubject will be “The Passing of Nations
As Powers."
Mr. Bryant was one of the speakers at
the Southern Commercial congress re
cently held in Mobile at which President
Wilson made the principal address. He
• Iso presented to the meeting of the
Woman’s Auxiliary. Mr. Bryant offered
a resolution on the principles of inter
national peace as advanced by the presi
dent in liis speech, which was adopted
Unanimously by both bodies.
Headquarters in Boston
The World Peace foundation has its
headquarters at 40 Mount Vernon street,
Boston. Mass. It was organized by Ed
ward Ginn of the Ginn Publishing com
pany, who subscribes $50,000 annually for
the spread and promotion of the world
peace movement. Since his connection
With the peace foundation, Mr. Bryant
has visited many states and has been
very successful in forming branch organ
izations. Mr. Bryant is a most interest
ing personage and is earnest and logical
In his advocacy of the movement for in
, ternational peace and arbitration and the
gradual disarmament of the leading na
tions. He contends that the mad pace
now' set by the leading powers in the
building of battleships must sooner or
later result in national bankruptcy and
be the cause of much distress and suffer
ing among the people.
He advocates a code of international
law by which all nations shall be bound
and that all disputes shall be submitted
to a court composed of the great men of
the several nations. He states, however,
that the founders of the peace movement
are aware that this? cannot be accom
plished in a day, but rather that it will
take some time to bring it to a final
consummation. He says the longer the ]
matter is delayed the greater the bur- j
ileuti the people will have to bear.
Differs With Hobson
■^fc^i<,hne'n asked as to his views about
the peace movement as advocated by
<Captain Hobson. Mr. Bryant stated I
that he bad an interview with the cap- j
tain and that he agreed with him ex- j
cept as to his “greater navy” propo- j
wition. He stated that if the United \
States would build four more battle
ships, it would only increase the tr**
mendous burdens by reasons of wur
debts that the European nations are
groaning under as it would mean the
building of four or more warships by
them in order to keep pace with the
other nations.
In reference to the movement in tiif
south be said that it was most encour
aging and that at the Southern com
mercial congress at Mobile the move
ment bad received an impetus that
would spread it over the southern
states with irresistable force and re
sult in much permanent good. Since
$iis visit to Mobile Mr. Byyant has vis
ited New Orleans and Montgomery
Where he delivered several lectures,
and met with much uuqcess in form
ing branch organizations. He is much
Impressed by the possibilities of tin*
south in industrial and agricultural
lines. He said the northern people i
were beginning to realize the great :
awaking of the agricultural progress |
of the south through diversified farm- i
tng and with the inauguration of th“
rural credits system ns it is in vogue
In Europe. The south will prosper and
grow.
Peace Resolution
The resolutions offered and adopted
at the congress in Mobile was presented
by Mr. Bryant immediately after the
wpeocli of President Wilson, which h
said was one of the greatest speeches
ho had ever heard. The resolutions
were as tallows;
“The Southern Commercial (’ongress

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Mississippi Man's View
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
I see that there is to be a senatorial
race in your state between Messrs. Un
derwood and Hobson. Now, this is the
way three-fourths of the citizens of out
state (Mississippi) view that race: If the
people of Alabama wish to have a lot of
battleships blown up, send Hobson. If
they wish to be represented in the United
States Senate by one of the brightest1
gems of the nation, send Underwood.
Respectfully yours.

Sees Danger in Peace Propoganda
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Now that tile Carnegie project for tile!
celebration of one hundred years- of peace i
between the United States and Great j
Britain is assuming such dangerous pro-1
portions, it behooves the press of the1
United States to sound the alarm against
the giving of subscriptions by the pub
lic to this fund.
The whole project is notidng more or
less than a diplomatic move on the part
of the British government, to ward off
the wrath of Germany, who is only stay
ing her hand, for reason of the implied
threat that the United States will come
to the rescue of Great Britain in the
event of war between the latter nation
and Germany.
rtnuicw t armgre, wun me ante as
sistance of Elihu Root and Joseph H.
Choate, is the apostle who is spending
millions to promulgate this doctrine, and!
it is high time that the United States
ambassadors abroad, who are his tools
in this misrepresentation, were recalled.
The interference of the United States
government in the Moroccan dispute be
tween Germany and Great Britain* was
a disgraceful act of treason on the part
of the handful of American officials who,
without the knowledge or sanction ol'
the American people, definitely informed
Germany that any further Insistence on
her part of conditions which were not
acceptable to Great Britain, would mean
that the United States would hack Great
Britain up with men and arms.
Later, when William Howard Taft was
elected President of the United States,
Germany, who had not altogether lost
faith in American neutrality, again ap
proached Great Britain with a view to
the settlement of the dispute. Immediate
ly the United States Atlantic fleet was j
dispatched to English waters and Com- (
mander Sims of Admiral Murdock’s flag-!
ship, the Minnesota, delivered an official I
speech in London in which he said that!
* ‘if England were threatened with an ex j
ternal foe she could count upon every j
man, every dollar and every drop of
blood in the United Slates.”
To tlie American public the dispatch
of the Atlantic fleet to British waters in |
mid-winter was regarded as a very pleas- |
ant and enjoyable cruise for the officers
and men of the tieet. The truth of the i
move was known to the British and Ger- j
man governments and the Carnegie pro-j
British annexationists in the United
States government.
Germany was again obliged to stay her
hand; but immediately increased her na
val programme.
Having been subjected to American
diplomatic intervention on two critical
occasions when pressing for a settlement
of demands with Great Britain, Germany
had every reason to believe that the Uni
ted States government was representing
public opinion in America, by tlie pro
British sympathies manifested hv two
successive administrations.
'In consequence of this anti-German at
titude in American diplomatic circles,
the German government decided to mani
fest its resentment of American public
professions of friendship for Germany,
and diplomatic private threats, by refus
ing to take any part in the Panama canal
exposition at San Francisco in 1915.
When the Wilson administration came
into office the German government was
keenly alive to note any change iri the
diplomatic antagonism of the United
States. There appeared to he a strength
ening of the Anglo-American bond by
means of tire Carnegie "peace” activities,
and Germany was, therefore, only moved
to a greater resentment when she learned
that in January, 1914. the Atlantic fleet
was to be again despatched to European
waters.
January, 1914, synchronizes with the
date of settlement for German claims
against Great Britain, and once again
we shall find the power of the United
States navy backing up Great Britain in
European waters.
This contemplated “paimt” of tlie At
lantic fleet to the Mediterranean in Jan
uary next, is another- instance of Great
Britain holding our American fleet over
the hear! of Germany as a big stick.
Very little money is being subscribed
by the British public to celebrate Car
negiean "peace.” although the expen
sive newspaper advertisements, which in
one week alone are said to have cost
$40,000, state that one of the principal oh- 1
jeots of the movement is "a revision of
historical textbooks with a view to the
elimination of anti-British coloring and
emphasizing the benefits of the hundred
years peace.”.
i nave read some or tnese revised
histories written by the Carnegie em
ployes, and the manner in which they
seek to “emphasize” that George Wash
ington was an upstart adventurer, and
Jefferson and all the heroes of the war
of independence, a set of self-seeking in
competent rebels, would cause the heart
of Benedict Arnold to beat with satisfac
tion.
No American worthy of the name will
subscribe, in any way to Carnegie's
“peace” fund: and no man, woman or
child should hesitate to life up their voice
in loud protest when they hear the plausi
ble professors, who are so handsomely
paid by the Carnegie “peace” fund, re
peat at their well advertised lectures that
“after all, we must he very fair and log
ical and accept the recently discovered
evidence, that Washington was a very
ordinary man; a poor ta»tb’lan; also that
the Declaration of Independence was only
a chimerical campaign document, written
by a little band of revolutionary rebels
and adventurers.”
A coat of tar and feathers, and n ride
out of town on a rail, would do much to
curb the treasonable speeches and pro
British sentiments of these poor syco
phants. A word to the wis** Verv truly,

Auditorium on the Snnthc:de
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
In the outset we dismiss the idea of
locating the auditorium In one of the
downtown parks as entirely too reac
tionary in modern city development. This
at once opens the question of the South
side as against the Northside for a site
! approximately 200 feet by 140 feet.
This question may he presented in at
least two phases, one from the stand
point of the city, and one from the stand
point of the Southsi 1e itself.
From the standpoint of the city even
ness of development at once suggests it
self. The Northside already has all the
important public buildings except a few
fire stations, schools and hospitals The
fairness of continuing this policy may be
seriously questioned. If the city itself
l
A SUDDEN TERMINATION |
Judge C. B. Smith Brings a Case to an Obrupt Close and It Went
Off the Docket
ll> CHARLES II. MA>US
^’hat many* cases are "worn out In
court" by being continued from time to
time cannot be questioned by any one
at all familiar with the courts of Jef
ferson county. There is not much trou
ble getting a case set but getting it
tried is another proposition. It not un
frequently happens that a case will
stay in court so long that one or other
of the litigants die before the case is
tried and "abated by death,** goes on
the record.
Generally the fact that a party to
a case, whether criminal or civil, is
dead is revealed when the docket for
the day is sounded by the judge, or j
soon after and the case goes off the
books and is ended.
One day last week a case was called
in tlie circuit court presided over by
Judge*C. B. Smith with I* J. Haley and
J. H. McNeal as opposing counsel. The
case had come up on appeal from a
lower court and although the plaintWf
was absent both sides announced ready.
After the usual preliminary skirmishes
were over witnesses were placed on the
stand and the merits of the case gone
into.
After the case hail been in progress
several hours a man walked up to
Judge Smith and held a whispered con
ference at the end of which Judge
Smith said:
“Gentlemen, the further hearing of
this case will be dispensed with.”
“What’s that," said both the dis
tinguished attorneys almost in the
same breath.
“I said the further hearing of the
case must stop." replied the youthful
Jurist with much firmness.
Both attorneys were at a loss to
fathom the reason why the case should
come to such a sudden termination and
after insisting that the case should go
on one of them said:
"Judge, would you mind telling us
why you Insist that the case be ter
minated just at this point?"
“Not at all," blandly replied Judge
Smith. "The plaintiff in this case is
dead and furthermore, gentlemen, the
plaintiff has been dead Jhree months.”
The case went on the docket and two
attorneys found they had business
elsewhere.
does not discriminate against the South
side, but.actually enters upon a policy of
developing the Southside, naturally tax
values will rise in that neighborhood.
Jt may be asked pertinently how much
increase of taxes would accrue to the
city from placing another public building
on the Northside. Again, the whole city
is vitally concerned in me matter of
eliminating the grade crossings that now’
divide the city into two distinct parts by
a mostfartifieial barrier. YVe submit that
the more the Southside is recognized oy
the city itself, the stronger will be its
claim for the elimination of the grade
crossings. By this same token greater
street car facilities may be looked for,
when the Southside is more fully come
into its own. Can there be any doubt
that the location of the auditorium on
the Southside will encourage added street
car development.? And this opens up at
once the accessibility of the Southside
under present conditions.
By actual measurement it may be shown
that any lot on the Southside between
Eighteenth and Twenty-second streets
and not farther back than the northside
of Avenue D is nearer the middle point of
First avenue and Twentieth street than is
the center of Capitol park, East park or
West park. This means that the audi
torium can be placed on the Southside
and necessitate less walking for tnose
from the tire suburbs who get off at First
avenue ana Twentieth street, and do
not wait for a transfer than if they got
off at the same point and walked to the
center of the above mentioned parks.
If any transfer to the Southside, any lot
above will be in two blocks or less of
the car line even w'ith tlie present facili
ties. Again, on the Northside any lot
outside of the parks themselves would
prove very expensive.
From the standpoint of common jus
tice to the Southside, we would cite the
fact that for years this section has been
paying taxes and must continue to do so.
Should it not have some snare of the
city’s patronage? The main public build
ings are now on the Northside. The city
now lias a chance to do something for
the Southside. \Vi11 it use it, or will the
Northside still get the lion s share?
To sum up. The Southside rests its
plea this time on the following points:
Economy.
Evenness of city development.
The bearing on the viaduct question.
Nearness.
Preservation of our parks.
It may be finally suggested that the city
owns valuable corners at Eighteenth and
Avenue 1!> and at Nineteenth and Avenue 1
I) on the Southside. one a negro school,
the other a fire station. Either corner
might be used for the auditorium.

About Illegal Voting
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
I have read with interest anti ap- i
proval your editorial criticism in this j
morning’s issue of our election law. )
I wish to commend you. as I think all}
good citizens will, for having the eour- I
age to speak out on the subject. Some- j
tiling reftliy should be done about R.
Some of us will not soon forget that
a few y«*ars slnt*«*. out of an electorate
of possibly 90,000 qualified voters, about.
127,000 votes were polled in this state, j
If there resulted one prosecution- or !
one conviction, the fact has escaped my \
notice.
Whether our election law is so gen- J
orally disregarded as is sometimes
claimed may he doubted; certainly no
patriotic citizen would wish to think
so. But that it is open to such wide
spread and serious suspicion, that it is
seldom spoken of except In terms of
contempt, seems to me to be anything
but a happy condition. It is a trite
saying that whatever strikes at the
purity of our ballot tends to undermine
aJl respect for law and government.
Such a condition is cause for genuine
alarm. To exact certain requirements
which will he met by the conscientious
voter, and then allow the man who
a-booses to disregard the law equal
voice with hlm# in the direction of the
affairs of state, is a grave injustice—
to state the case in I he mildest way. It
is more than that. It Is a wrong done
to the mnn. by fostering in him a spirit
of contempt for the law, tending to ul
timate contempt for all law. It is a
hurt to tlie state, delivering the deci
sive voice in Its affairs to men who
either do not respect its laws or who
are too careless to conform to them.
As suggested in your editorial, many
men doubtless vote illegally who are
not conscious of their disqualification.
I can think of no more effective way
of relieving this condition than by a
rigid and impartial inforcement of the
law. That these men are not aware of
their disqualification con mean notlftng
else than that they have not been
sternly reminded of It by finding them
selves debarred from voting. On this
point it s«eins sufficient to raise just
one question: If t lie present law were
firmly enforced, would we now have
such a large body of good citizens who
have lost the legal right of franchise?
With many other men \*lio have j
thought often and seriously, on this I
subject, J trust that this utterance is
hut the opening note of a campaign in j
which The Age-Herald may lead the i
press or the e»t*re state In demanding '
a better enforcement of the present law j
and. if it seems needed, ultimately a |
better law on the subject.

Improving Farm Conditions
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Your issue* of this date is indeed an
interesting one to read, as most of your
issues are; though this one is especially
of interest because of the verv thought
ful attention you are giving and ex
press in your editorials. “Alabama Land
Congress,” and “Hog Clubs Next.’’
It should be, and T am sure it is a j
source of much gratification to the peo- I
pit* of Alabama to see a newspaper of j
tin importance of The Age-TTorald do '
voting Its space and the thought of I
its editors to the great question of cor
recting the economic errors that our
people engaged in agricultural pursuits
have been the victims of for so long .i
time. Sentiment rules, and tlie greatest 1
need of this state for the past several
years has been the help of the press;!
the business and professional men, who |
are the leaders iri whatever progress
this commonwealth makes, with the
progressive farmers in creating a seiiti
*
ment favorable to the highest develop
ment and success of the Alabama far
mer.
For too long a time the farm was ne
glected and its people were not given
:he consideration that their position ui
he business economy of the state en
itleri them to. and in consequence the
steady flow of the young men from the
farm and into other lines of business
has kept the standard down, and al
owed the fearful economic conditions
hat have existed to go without any ef
fort to correct, that wag at all com
mensurate with the Importance of the
situation.
Indeed there has been wonderful
progress in Alabama during the last
hree or four years in various branches
:>f farm industry, as you so encourag
mgly state, and especially is the fact
>f the increase in the corn crop grati
fying. When we rem< mber that Ala
bama has been importing approximate
ly 50,000,000 bushels of corn for the
past several years, which corn has been
costing the ultimate consumer in the
neighborhood of $1 per bushel; and
-bat the corn could have been pro
3uced upon the farms of Alabama at a
‘ost of production not exceeding 40
•ents per bushel, thereby losing the
lifference between the cost to produce
and the price paid, it is no wonder that
nur people are no better fixed financial
ly, and that we have done no more
toward improving and developing our
farming interests. This $30,000,000 loss
attributable to our economic error of
•uying corn alone is simply enormous,
'nd when we qonsider that the same is
true of oats, hay, and other feed stuffs
for our animals, and of meat, lard and
canned meats and canned vegetables
and fruits of food for ourselves, to
thoughtful men the importance of such
moves as the Alabama Land congress
and the efforts that are being put forth
by the department of agriculture of the
United States, the state department of
agriculture, the colleges, the bankers’
association, the railroad companies and
the citizens generally is at once real
ized.
The greatest force in the correction
of the errors that our people have been
making is the press, and especially the
large dallies of the cities that were for
so long a time careless of the agricul
tural interests of the state. I have
been engaged in what is usually re
ferred to as “Farm Demonstration
Work” in Alabama for the past several
years, first with the United States de
partment of agriculture and later with
the Sduthern Railway company’s de
partment of farm Improvement work,
and I am sure that the value of the co
operation of the newspapers in the
work of Introducing better methods
upon the farms, and the correction of
economic errors that our farmers have
been making, is inestimable. I am In
deed glad to see the papers of greater
importance, such as The Age-Herald,
give attention to these great questions
and lend their influence in the work of
bringing back the proper “dignity” to
the occupation of farming. Very truly
