Know Your Candidate,

The good people who are trying to keep
Alabama from becoming the most iliterate
state in the union need not despair because
another lot of petty politicians who are
afraid of their own shadows-who never
read Alright public sentiment below the sur
their respective noses and no farther-have
jumbled and2juggled the subject of popu ar
education-to death. At the behest of sixty
six politicians ike unto themselves they
enough to serve as county superintendent Of
education. While other states are prescrib-
ing rigid qualifications for this important
office, thus preventing politicians from dish
ing it out to satisfy section or an individ-
ual the Alabama legislators have practical
ly decided that even man who cannot read
and write is good enough to lead and in
spire and energize the. schools of an Ala
bama county. They have also decided that
the township schools shall not be bettered,
nor shall they be left open long enough to
enable the pupils to gain any considerable
help from them. An army of children is
thus doomed to illiteracy and ignorance
during the next two years.
The truth is, the next legislature will be
apt to act likewise. Possibly general re-
sort to the primary system might bring
out men who, having convictions, would
stand up to them but the chances are that
it would not. 1t is better to take an appeal
at once to the constitutional convention;
every friend of public education, every man,
woman and child who desires to see the
school system of the state raised to the
level of the system of Mississippi on the
one side or to that of Georgia on the other
to work increasingly from this time on to
the day of election in July for men who
will vote to take the subject out of the
hands of time servers placing it where the
constitution makers of Louisiana placed
their system last year. beyond the reach
and control of demagogues. The people of
Louisiana not only provided an adequate
school appropriation, one that means good
schools and a steady decrease in illiteracy
but they removed all limitations upon local
taxation for school purposes. A school dis
trict or other municipality cannot bond it,
self for school purposes, but the principle
of home rule is preserved to the extent of
permitting any district to tax itself to it's
hearts content for the purpose of educating
its children. There is not the slightest ten
able objection to such a change in Ala
bama-not one; and yet If the friends of
the public schools are not alert majority
will be elected to the constitutional conven-
ton who will oppose such a wise and up
lifting and valuable provision of self-gov-
eminent. Let the appeal to the convention
be open and above board. Know what your
man will do in this matter of local taxation
before you vote for him. Insist upon
categorical answer Accept no evasion of
any kind Put this question to him: "Will
you, If elected support at every turn and in
every possible way unlimited local taxation
for public school purposes?" Upon his an
swer let your vote turn. Act quickly in
this matter before the politicians can fasten
one of their own kind upon you. Act at
once.

A Strike Epidemic.

Strikes are serious things, and in view
of the number that have occurred 1t is
we'll to remember that until the cause
be removed, dissatisfaction will depre-
ciate work and prove a menace to society.
But 1t Is not only the commercial life
which has its strikes. The whole coun-
try is grooming under the strike of the
stomach, and many people make the
mistake Of trying to suppress the symp-
toms instead of removing the cause.
There is but one sure way Of curing the
Ills which arise from a rebellious stomach
and that is by an honest use of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Use it for Fin
digestion, constipation, dyspepsia, bill
business, liver or kidney trouble, and see
that a private Revenue Stamp covers the
neck of the bottle.
