THE POLITICAL ISSUE IN
THE STATE THIS SPRING.

The voters OF Michigan must choose
between the Endorsement OF honor
able experience and the Endorsement
OF a political propaganda which seeks
political capital even out of the high
judiciary and the school system of the
state. Some parties" pirate in
their platforms Of love for the merit
system" in filling public office; and
then straightway go out after the jobs
themselves with much cash and an
equally large appropriation of partisan
oratory.

ON THE SPUR OF
THE MOMENT.
BY Roy K. MouIten.

Ask Tom Marshall.
OF all the things I'd like to be-
Tn no ambitious gent
It really would just tickle me
To be vice president.
A Teller could drop out OF sight
And foller his own bent
There would be nothing much to do.
The pay is not so bad.
No journalists would hang around
To roast each whim and fad.
No office seekers stickin' by
To drive a felIer mad.
He could just loaf around the house
And not dress UP at all.
For no one ever has been known
To bore him with a call.
And he could wear the same necktie
From early spring till fall.
No bin collectors ever could
Locate him If they tried.
'Tis doubtful IL the papers would
Find out that he had died,
And no one cares If he has told
The truth or simply lied.
They talk about the simple life
That brings peace and content;
The joy of being all alone,
A boon that's heaven sent,
The simplest method known is just
To be vice-president.

sizes the benefits of the boys corn
clubs in the state
In 1909 there were only ten counties
In Alabama where boys corn clubs
were organized. with a total member
ship OF 265 boys. In 1919 there were
corn clubs in al. 81 Of the counties OF
the state with a total membership of
1884 boys. This growth, with the
large increase in corn production.
gives some idea of the scope and I'm
portance OF the movement.
Largely through the boys' corn clubs
and the girls tomato clubs and their
splendid achievements their parents
are being reached in the work of inn
proved farming methods in Alabama.
At the same time farming operations
are being made more productive and
profitable, and corn raising especially
is coming to be one Of the states
greatest industries.
For many years Alabama purchased
millions Of bushels of corn from other
states at a cost greater than that of
producing 1t at home. This has largely
ceased under the influence and achieve
ments of the boys corn clubs, and the
change has been OF tremendous benefit
to the state at large.
It was largely through the efforts
and example of the boys corn clubs
that it was demonstrated that as good
and as much corn can be raised in Ala
barna as in Indiana, Illinois or any
other state. This has been a valuable
lesson to the farmers OF Alabama, and
will be a distinct benefit to the state
In years to come.
The Ledger commends the work of
the boys corn clubs and girls tomato
clubs in Alabama, and characterizes
them as one of the states most valu-
able assets.
This is true of Florida as well as
Alabama, and The Journa. is glad to
endorse, as applicable to Florida, every
thing that the Ledger says Of the boys
and girls club work in Alabama

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There
is only one way to cure deafness. and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by am fnfiamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infiamed you have a
ruTnbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
TO it's normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inf1amed condition OF the mucous

The Death of
j. Pierpont Morgan.

Tfe death OF j. Pierpont Morgan In
Nome yesterday morning removed q
financial giant whose career and power
BANDS pre-eminent and unparalleled In
&he history. not only OF the United
States. but OF the world.
RTpr more than a generation he had
hated the finances of the United
and his influence extended to
pess affairs Of foreign nations.
IN bortant business enterprise with
few exceptions at the most, was ever
launched in this country without the
advi0e and approval of Mr.. Morgan.
Nmnatfonss bond issue was proposed
Or made without his participation. No
great railroad enterprise was ever pro-
NOTED or effected that he was not con-
suited. No national legislation Affect
Ing the stock, bond. banking, or trans
portation business Of the country was
ever adopted without feeling either the
direct or indirect influence Of the house
of Morgan.
His was q great intellect which dealt
with big things and left the petty de-
tails OF life to smaller minds. He
thought in millions where others
thought in dollars. He built great en-
terprises that wiz forever stand as
monuments to his constructive genius.
but many of them were erected on the
blasted hopes and ruined fortunes OF
other men,
No man of money and of power has
Perhaps possessed so many sides as
Mr.. Morgan. Essentially a man OF
business. yet he was a student OF the
best literature, patron and a critic
Of the best IN art. fond always of
music. and a philanthropist whose
church and charity benefactions may
he counted in many millions of dollars.
He took little open interest in politics,
but His influence through his business
connections was beyond doubt the con-
trolling factor in more than one politi-
cal contest.
It is hard to properly estimate the
character and place of such a man as
j. Pierpont Morgan. Beyond doubt,
some OF his influence was good. I'm
auestionab.y much Of it was exerted to
unworthy ends. But Mr.. Morgan was
the product OF a system and he should
probably not be held responsible for
methods and conditions which were a
part of that system. The chief differ
ence between him and other less sue
cessful men lay in the fact that he en-
Eloyed the methods and utilized the
existing conditions with greater skill
than they did.
In any event, he was great world
character who left his train Of good and
evil. just az other men in the smaller
walks of life do. and now that he is
gone the world cannot fai. to profit by
his example. Those of his business
methods that were good can be per-
petuated; those that were bad can be
eliminated from our future business
system May he rest in peace.

You may dine on raw onions
Consume lemon peel;

You may make meal
You may shampoo your heao ana
Use hairoil that's stout,
And battle till you're too weak
To amble about
You may rub on strong perfumes
And change your attire
And throw all your old clothes
Right into the fire.
You can stand in the wind at

And let the breeze whistle

And do what you will

What Was the Matter?

The automobile gave one hnal de-
spairing heave and stopped dead still
near the park. The young man whose
father owned the machine climbed
down and looked 1t over, rolled UP his
sleeves and got busy. He knew as
much about the machine as the aver
age congressman knows about the
tariff, and that is very little. The first
man came along with advice.
take 1t from me, friend, your car
buretor is on the blink" said he, and
passed on.
The young man got busy with what
he supposed was the carburetor and
the second man came along.
TITS the spark plug" said he, and
the young man removed several more
pieces of ma chinery in an effort to To-
cate the spark plug, being almost
afraid that he would find it.
"It's the feed pipe" suggested a
third.
"Your ignition is wrong" said a
fourth.
You've dropped the ash pan," VEN
tured the fifth.
s"The eccentric is caught on the gee
whilliker," said the sixth.
By this time the young man had
everything apart but the frame and
the wheels and his car was scattered
over half of the park lawn. Finally ne
had a glimmering Of an idea ana tele-
phoned for a mechanician. The expert
arrived, unscrewed the cap or the
gasoline tank, gave a disguised. snort
and said:
How do you expect to run this car
on wind? What you need is a nickefs
worth of gasoline.
And the garage repair bill was
$97.S5.
