own political effacement and realized
that dreams of future political con-
quests must end. Ambition got the
better of judgment and of fidelity to
the agreement made by his friends
and in his behalf. In a spasm OF hero
virtue he Electrically repudiated
Crump and all his works. But the
governor took care that this was not
done until after the Memphis boss
had delivered. Then it was that he
proclaim to all the world from the
topmost pinnacle of the state house
that never, never would he compro-
Mise the sacred" principles to. which
he had been pledged, no, not for all
the patronage and power in all this
world"
The governor set about to make
himself the hero of good government
and law enforcement The unreason-
able, unpatriotic and indecent con-
duct Of the legislative majority prov
ed powerful aid to Hooper's propa-
ganda and he almost succeeded. His
sole idea was third term in the gov
ernor's office with still more power
/ nd yet greater machine with a
seat in the senate of the United
States as the final goal of his ainbi-
ton. No more consummate politician
ever held the Office of governor than
Hooper. AS master player Of the
great American game of politics, the
governor has no equal in Tennessee.
But like many another cast in even
more heroic mould, he overplayed
the game.
Hooper retires from Office with
the best wishes of thousands and
thousands of the best people of Ten
nessee. Hundreds who voted against
him appreciate his splendid ability
nd his great work as governor.
They realize and appreciate the diff
culties under which he has labored
and they wish for him long life Of
peace and plenty.

COUNTY JUDGES REPORT.

There has never been submitted to
the county court of Maury county so
complete, Intelligent and comprehen>
sive statement of its finances as the
report of County Judge Mcknight for
he year ending December 81. Ev-
cry dollar expended during the year
accounted for The purpose for
which all funds have been used is
set forth in much detail. Compare
tive statements with expenditures for
previous years will enable the inter
ested tax payers to ascertain whether
or not there has been economy or
extravaganza. Judge Meningitis
statement is just such document as
the tax payers of this county should
have. 1t gives them information to
which they are entitled and without
which they cannot know what is done
with the funds collected from them.
The report proves that the people
of the county not only have capable
fiscal agent but one who has energy,
who works on his job in the interest
of the people. Judge Mcknight sets
an example for painstaking devotion
to duty and determination to meet
every issue fairly and squarely that
is we'll worthy of emulation.

The PLAIN RECORD.

In his campaign for reelection
Senator Church repeatedly, daily ant
hourly, stated that his position upor
public questions in 1914 was JUS
what his position was in 1912 and
that in the legislature of 1915 he
would stand just where he stood il
the legislature of 1918. He will hard
ly deny these statements, if so we
can summons hundreds who will sub
stantiate US.
Let's see how faithfully CD Senator
Church has kept the solemn pledges
| In 1912 he was vehement and vOcifer
,ous in his denunciation of the bach
tax deviltry and the Dibrell machine
In the legislature of 1913 he fought
tn reelection of Dibrell; he urged a
igid investigation of the back tax
machine and revenue agents. He vot
ed against the whitewashing of Parks
Worley and the Dibrell back tax ap
pointees. He stood resolutely for the
Williams report.
In the light of this record and
Senator Churchs pledges that he
would stand now where he stood
two years ago every one naturally
expected that he would continue In
his unrelenting hostility to the back
tax machine. His political enemies
thought so because in the democra'
the convention here he was fought to
a finish by the local back tax ma.
chine. His friends relied upon his
plignted word.
But presto what a change. The
senator who in 1918 stood against
back tax deviltry and for an investi-
cation of the Dibrell machine, who
voted to condemn Parks Worley,
comes now two years later, forgets
his solemn pledges to the people and
votes to make one of the shining
lights of the Dibrell machine and
one of its chief offenders the comp
troller Of Tennessee; goes, to bed
with the gang that he but yesterday
denounced and votes side by side
with Parks Worley to again enthrone
the discredited remnants of the
back tax machine in power in Ten
nessee. We ask in all candor is
this the way In which Senator
Church expects to keep faith with
the people of Maury county?

Three Better Than Five

The proposition being discussed by the Jefferson county delegation in the Legislature to increase Birmingham s city commission to five members should not be enacted into law A commission of three is better on the principle of concentration of effort than commission of five would be.
 As a matter of fact, the affairs of a city would be better administered by one man as general manager. Among prosperous and progressive cities whose municipal government is successfully managed by one man is Dayton, O., with a population of 130,000.
 Certainly a commission of three should be adequate. When the meas ure changing Birmingham's form of government from aldermanic to com mission was pending in the legisla- ture an effort was made to have five members. The Age-Herald insisted upon holding the number down to three; and the bill which was adopted provided for our present form-a com- mission of three members.
 Were there five commissioners there would be more politics, for there would always be some one seeking re- election, and that would mean less attention on the part of the commis- sion to the actual business of the city.
 AS it is, the three commissioners of Birmingham should be encouraged and aided in their work by the citi- zens generally, just as they have been encouraged and aided by the advisory committee of one hundred.
 If this legislature were to increase the number of commissioners to five, it would not be many years before seven would be asked for. So long as we have a commission by all means let us stick to the three-member plan.

Fishing Season and Prizes

"It is probable that the fishing season will open early" said a sportsman, "and the last day or two has been favorable for the sport, in some waters.
 "As the contest of last year for prize for the largest black bass taken in Jeff ferson county proved spirited and popu- lar, the Birmingham Arms company proposes to give eight prizes this year for the largest catches of black bass. There will be a prize for each month be- ginning with April, for six months; also a yearly prize for the largest black bass taken in Jefferson county with Lake Purdy included. Then there will be a special prize for the largest black bass taken in Alabama in 1915. Competitors for the state prize must send in the head with the length, width and weight attest ed by one other person or companion.
 "The Jefferson county fish must be weighed by Jack Riddle with an allow ance of four ounces for loss by shrink age. Fish for the contest must not be netted snared or shot, but must have been taken with hook.'

The Presidents Reasonable Optimism

If President Wilson's optimistic views about business, his insistence on the idea that an era of great thrift is in sight, and his singular power of expression could hasten business re- covery this country would enjoy old time prosperity before the winter was ended.
 The address which the President de- livered in Washington Friday before a general meeting of the American Electric Railway association was one of the most thoughtful, gripping and inspiring of his many fine speeches, and it undoubtedly had good effect.
 MT. Wilson sometimes applies psychology to the business situation, but when he has talked as if business depression were chiefly a state of mind, his sense of humor was simply in play. The President has good grounds now, however, for thinking that prosperity is close at hand. His optimism is altogether reasonable.
 The fact is that steady improve ment in the industrial field has been in evidence since the first of the year; and business conditions in every part of the country are better than they were even two weeks ago.
 The week just gone witnessed very marked improvement in most branches of trade, and it is safe to assume that February will be the best month of the winter. Good times are certainly ahead,

Jefferson's Large Cotton Crop

The fact that 12,002 bales of cotton had been ginned in Jefferson county up to January IS, according to the of ficial figures of the census bureau, would indicate a total crop for the county of upwards of 13,00O bales. Of the 1913 crop 7740 bales were ginned up to January 16 last year, when the total produced was some thing like 5000.
 The bumper production of Jeffer- son county last year was the result of exceptionally favorable weather conditions rather than an increase in acreage over that of former years Alabama raised new high record crop in spite of boil weevil ravages in many counties, and it was all be- cause the season was ideal.
 For considerable period Jefferson county has been producing about 1000 or 5000 bales year, and such yields were regarded as large, con- sidering Jefferson county's mineral and manufacturing interests, which naturally have a tendency to crowc and minimize agriculture. But Jeffer son county has the soils to produce almost everything that comes out oi the ground. The farmers will respond to the crop diversification appeal ane will raise more foodstuff this veal than they have ever done before, anc in order to keep in line with the cot
