 This is an old question. but is like Banquo's ghost, ever present, and will be until advantages are provided whereby the children of the poor and the children of the rich. the children of the back alleys, and the children of backwoods dis tricts. may have an education that will bring to our borders high state of civilizations:
 God give us men
 Times like these demand
 Clean minds, pure hearts, true faith and
 ready hands.
 Men who will have opinions and will. Men whom desire for office does not kill: Tall men. sun crowned men Men who live above the fog in public life
 and private thinking.
 Men who can stand before the demagogue And denounce his treacherous fatteries
 without wlnkng.
 For while base tricksters with their worn
 out creeds,
 Their large professions and little deeds, Wransie in selfish strife.
 I.o. freedom weeps, wrong rules the land. And waiting justice sleeps
 "Yes. freedom weeps. and will continue so until we secure enough tax to run schools for nine months each year in the country places as well as in the cities Wrong rules the land in many ways and will not be disenthroned until the influence of an ideaally strong school system is felt in the future citizenship and expressed at the polls in the cleo tion of good, clean men only. Waiting justice sleeps and will not be awakened in it's fullness until schools are maintain- cd for and attended by all the children within the borders of our fair Alabama.

'"The people will have lost thousands

 make it's own school regulations and adopt it's own books If you are going to have state uniformity. leave such communities alone, and let all high schools make their own selections. The craze for continuance of uniformity. in my opinion. Is brought about by the greed of the demagogue wanting a hobby on which to ride into office, after get ting in. wants to have it said that he saved the people money. People often accept such statements, but they never find the actual profits. I say this advised ly. for generally the ones who know least about schools are the ones who

Had Done Played 1t.

In a certain Indiana town there
were two hotels on the same street,
two or three blocks apart, between
which there was much rivalry.
One day a stranger, we'll dressed
and apparently we'll fixed, :"
stopped at one of the hotels and
approaching the proprietor said:
Landlord, my name is; 1
will be here some little time, and 1
want the best you can give me for
my money.
The landlord assured him that
the house and everything in it was
at his disposal. After he had been
in the house a week the landlord
presented his bill.
Well, :" said the stranger. l
told you I wanted the best you
could give me for my money; there
is my money-all I've got'-
handing the landlord fifty cents.
The landlord looked at him a
moment and said: Say I will re-
ceipt your bill if you will go and
play that trick on the hotel up the
street"
Can't do it, said the stranger.
I played it there before I came
here

There IS but one horse that can

Why He Scanned Them.

A Scotchman who went to- an
English race course staked a
sovereign. The horse he backed
proved to be a winner and he went
to the bookle" to claim his win
nings. The sporting man be-
grudgingly handed him his sover-
eigns. The Scot looked at each
one carefully before placing it in
his pocket. Well, said the
bookle, with a snarl, are you
afraid they are bad?" oh, no, ="
said the Scotchman, but I was
just looking to malsure the bad yin
I gie'd ye wasna among them. "

Why She Got Out.

With sundry rattles, clankings
and strange noises the ancient
motor car of obsolete make seemed
to have taken into its head to
behave i'll a most uncomplimentary
manner. After running along in
a quick succession of impatient
jerks it came to a dead stop, said
Answers. Out jumped the Young
and handsome driver, and en-
deavored to coax the car into a
better temper by pulling sundry
levers. Alas the car remained i'm
movable.
Angelina, said the young
man, in tones of trembling emo
ton, you must get out.
oh, George, why?" queried
the dainty one.
Get out. he repeated more
But, George dear l want to
stop in" replied the girl almost
tearfully.
Get out at Onee!" cried George.

Then Angelina obeyed.

Dead for Sure.

A certain village on the Roman
road to Scotland used to have a
bad reputation among cyclists.
Few ever got through it without
suffering from the attacks of a big
dog, which (incited, it is believed,
by its owner) flew viciously at
passing machines and gave the
riders a very bad time.
Often enough had this dogs de-
cease been reported, but the story
of its ultimate defeat and death is
graphically told in the neighbor-
hood.
One hot day a meek looking
clergyman stopped at a wayside
inn and begged Boniface to give
him a meal. He explained his in
ability to pay for it by declaring
that, as he was passing through an
adjacent village, a brute of a dog
bounced out of house and got I'M
der his motor. He rode it down
and killed it, and had given its
owner all the money he possessed
as compensation.
The landlords eyes grew wide.
Are yer certainyer kilt that dorg?"
he asked.
Indeed yes. To make sure it
was really dead I compelled Them
to bury it while I was there.
Then come inside and have a
dinner at my expense, parson, >"
cried Boniface, enthusiastically.
That dorg's been kilt mony a
time before, goodness knows, but
we're I first man at had the gump-
ton to stop an see It buried.

The editor of this paper would
be the last man on earth to know
ingly say word to hurt the feelings
ofany Gifts subscribers or citizens
especially at time when the dark
winged messenger of death has
brought sorrows to the home, but
from the best of motives we desire
to call the attention of our readers
to the custom of publishing "card
OF thanks. 1t is a custom that has
outgrown its purpose, lit ever had
one. When sickness and death
comes to your home it is only
natural that your friends and neigh
bors should do what they could to
assist you. They would be heathens
if they did not. They know from the
expression ofyour face that you are
thankful and deeply appreciate all
they do, and it is not necessary to
rush into print and tell the world
that your neighbors were kind
when you were in trouble. The read
ing public are becoming tired ofthe
old stereotyped card Of thanks"
you can express to your friend, by
a look or word your thankfulness in
a more impressive manner than you
can in column of cold type.

But few of our readers, we mag
inc, ever give thought to the value
of this paper to the community.
The home paper has an influence
for good that is hard to overestim-
ate. 1t moulds public opinion; it
does well its part in protecting and
preserving the government. 1t
takes the place of a standing army in
guarding the liberties of the people;
it teaches your Children morality,
truth and power; it brings many rich
blessings to the homes twists with
but little financial reward for its
labors, and in too many instances
not any. The home paper is the
mirror in which those at distance
see US. 1t is the plain duty of all
