WAY DOWN IN ALABAMA.

Kolb, the Populist candidate for
Governor of Alabama who was defeat
ed but claims to haye been legally
elected has set up a little administra-
ton on his own hook. He took the
oath of Office before justice of the
peace and has sent message to the
legislature. He advises the people not
to pay any taxes for awhile ana in
structs those collectors who favor him
politically not to make any effort at
collection. 1t looks as though there
might be little anarchy down in Ala
bama.

THE CREAM OF CURRENT THOUGHT.

THE CREAM OF CURRENT THOUGHT.
Public Opinion, published at Wash
lngton, d. e., is a weekly journal de-
voted to the reproduction, in condensed
form, Of carefully selected magazine
articles and of editorial comment from
the representative daily and weekly
press of all political parties, and from
all parts of the country. The readers
OF Public Opinion get all sides of every
question. 1t is just the paper that the
farmer and villager need for general
reading. 1t keeps it's readers fully
abreast of the times and supplies them
with the best thought of the day in the
fields of American affairs, foreign
affairs, sociology, commerce, finance
religion, science, education, art and
new books. Public Opinion and The
TRIBUNE supplement each other ad-
mirably. Together they give the farm
or or villager and his family more of
current news, editorial comment, and
magazine literature than can be had in
any other way for five times their cost.
The price of Public Opinion has been
reduced from $500 to $3.50 per year.
We have just completed arrangements
by which we can offer Public Opinion

DEEPENING THE LOWER DELAWARE,

Christian r. Ross, OF the Committee on
Navigation and Pilotage Of the Board Of
Port Wardens, .on the subject OF the
city assisting ia the work OF improving
the Delaware channel below the harbor
but within the state line The idea Is to
hurry up the work by having the city do
some OF the dredging at this end, allow
the government to devote the 1925, 900
available TO the lower channel The con
ference lasted over an hour and after the
matter had been fully presented to him,
Major,Rey mond expressed himself asper
feotly satisfied with the plan and agreed
that II the city wanted to assist certain
portions of the work AZ this end could be
set aside to be done by the municipality
The work Of dredging the channel OF
the lower Delaware, which has been
under way for some time, Is entirely
separate from the improvement Of the
harbor. which includes the removal OF
the river islands. There are many OBJ
structions Ia the channel and vessals OF

getting up aud down the river, being
compelled frequently to walt over one
and sometimes two tides, while It is not
rare occurrence for the vessels 10
