The running of a Congressional can
cidate against Mr.. Richmond Pearson
Hobson on the ground that the latter
pays too much attention to building a
navy to defend us against Japan and
not enough to the cotton and other ag-
rlcultural interests of Alabama seems
strangely I'll conceived. since. as we re-
member it, Mr.. Hobson was the author
or at least the chief promoter OF one OF
the most profitable movements for agri-
cultural improvement ever known in the
South. His exploit in trying to put a
cork in the Santiago bottle-harbor. his
calorific warnings of the impending
Japanese conquest of the valley of the
Tombigbee, and even his easy winning
of the worlds championship in oscula-
tiOn, all pale before his substantial SER
vices to Alabama in promoting practical
knowledge of soils and how to cultivate
them and what to grow on them. 1t is
bitter irony that he should now be op-
posed for neglecting TO do the very thing
which he has so cOnspicuously done.

The season when skaters drown be-
cause the ice is too thin has again

rental authority entirely prevents fatal
accidents from this cause where sport is
sought on ponds. lakes or rivers. Where

add that it is an act which this country
