~ OHnM1oClONER ARLlE BARBEh N makes a lot of reading matter for
 the newspapers. He is a prolific talker.
 But, judging from all the subjects he has touched on, he is nearly through.
 Commissioner weatherly did his quota of talking sometime ago. Commissioners Truss and Hornady are of the silent va- riety.
 So it is Mayor-Commissioner Wards time to act. He has been wise in sit ting silently by and permitting other commissioners to blow off their safety valves of talk Chairman Ward may now concretely form his viaduct plans. his auditorium plans, the school plans and the Warrior river highway plan and put them through
 The people depend upon MT. Ward as the wheel horse of the commission. They have intrusted him with the citys finances and with the chairmanship of the commission. The people selected the other commissioners to carry out in detail his plans and to advise him more or less as cabinet. They ex- pect MT. Ward to be the President Will son of Birmingham. Some of the people might criticize him, but the great mass of people of Birmingham believe in his integrity and his honesty of purpose They know it is not necessary for him to play the game of politics. They want him to decide what he thinks is the proper thing to do and to do it.

 Double Springs Herald: When you hear Hobson accused of having moved into Bankhead's district in order to run for Congress, just ask the question why he was legislated out of the district to keep him from running. It is an open secret and one easily explained. We believe in fair play, even in the game of politics.

 One thing that we all have right to be proud of is the splendid road building tion of the system of working convicts on the roads this county has made the most marked improvements of any in the south in road building, and large part of the credit of this is due to the splendid work of the road building section or per- sonality of the Board of Revenue.
 Lawrence Pennington, Hugh McGeever and Rufe Bivens have become experts, and hope the people will continue them in their jobs.

 Our good friend, Richmond Pearson Hobson, waited rather too late to butt into the congressional race in the Tenth, or Jasper, district, and while he has a big following and the campaign is full of spice and life Will Bankhead got the go on him, so to speak.
 Hobson is popular with large number of people in Alabama, but he has under taken almost the impossible in changing his residence into a congressional district for the mere purpose of being elected to Congress. Will Bankhead is a fine young fellow and has it in him to make good congress sional material.

 While pr. Abercrombie is good man. the people of Alabama as a whole believe in fair play and when they get a good man in Congress representing the district in which he lives, they usually keep him there.
 In this Birmingham district there is a free for all contest. George Huddleston went into Congress by the wrong door in that he cast practically his first vote with the Republicans against the rules prepared by the Democratic leaders. In this gvote he injured himself materially with his own party
 Based on the fact of Huddieston's lack of influence In Congress. State Senator Tom Judge announced against him and apparently had a good chance of being elected. But at the last moment. Charlie Rice one of the prohibition leaders, jumped into the arena and messed things up considerably. Now it is ques- ton of the personality of the men and the scramble In this county promises to be an interesting one.
 # * s. Political scrambles of this type do no real harm. People forget political con- tests and the harsh things said in them the day after election. But the harsh things said in church contests and in the rivalry of creeds and beliefs leave stings which are lasting.
 I am indeed glad that the gentlemen who wear the robes of the church in Bir- mingham have finally quit scrapping and settled down to the business of making people better.

 The proclamation:
