Milwaukee Sentinel: Governor Johnson
wouldn't take the prize at a beauty show,
carps the Birmingham Age-Herald. Well,
that function at Denver won't be a beauty
show by long shot.
Houston Post: The Birmingham Age
Herald predicts that women will insist
upon getting off airships backward. IL
they do, they will be up in the air much
less than they are now
The Commoner: 1.-The gap between
Aidrich and Vreeland is something more
than alphabetical" says The Birmingham
Age-Herald. Yes, but it is plenty big
enough for the people to fall into.
Andalusia News: I'm an old fool
Senator Tom C. Plat. There's not one
dissenting vote.-Blrmingham Age-Herald.
The News moves as amendment the
word d-n be inserted before old fool.
Jackson News: "Ihe preachers in Bir-
mingham are after the Merry Widows,
says The Age-Herald. We can recall sew
eral instances of preachers getting in
trouble and losing their jobs by monkey
ing with widows
| Chattanooga Times: Birmingham Age
Herald: West Virginia follows in the
footsteps of Texas, and pretty soon it will
all be over but the shouting.
That's the pity of it; there isn't going
| to be any shouting.
| Washington Post: Noting that a child
! choked to death on a rosebud, The Bir-
mingham Age-Herald suggests that that
would be a good way for poets to COM
NIT suicide. Most of them, however, would
undoubtedly prefer to choke to death on
| porterhouse steak.
Chattanooga Times: The Birmingham
Age Herald has discovered that bottles
of ginger ale in dry towns are sometimes
filled with fluids of strange but potent
composition" In fact we find on inyesti-
cation that almost everything in dry
towns Is under suspicion.
| Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The Brming-
| ham Agc-I1erald thinks that since Con-
gress failed to make Bob Evans a vice.
admiral perhaps the people will make him
vice president. Well, Bobbie said he was
ready for a frolc fight and since
, he didn't get the latter he might be per-
suaded to enjoy the sport for a term any
way:
Columbus Ledger: Mr.. Sims has his
pocket picked" reads headline In me
| Birmingham Age-Herald. We are not
doubling the truthfulness of the assertion
| but what we would like to know is: what
did he nave it picked for, and by whom!
Lid he have it picked by his wife, or ala
lie leave his pocket out on the fence so
that sneak could slip up and DO the
picking act? 1t is always well enough
to be explicit in giving such information
az this. The people desire to know the
facts.
birmingham Labor Advocate: The Age
Herald is in favor of giving the convicts
a '"triap' on the public roads. The plan
was tried away back in the eighties and
| resulted in the construction of some OF the
! best and most lasting roads in the county.
No further experimenting is necessary in
that matter. 1t is only necessary to elect
lawmakers who are not controlled by COR
