Hard Matfcr to Ccn<ict
"The Mar '-..eher Upn

e ENATOR NEW BERRY, charged " with having vor his seat by one of the most glgaatic election frauds in the history ,f the country, is going home to inter personal plea of mot guilty.
 The evidence brought out in Michi- gan disclosed wholesale corruption and the expenditure of approximately one million dollars to defeat Henry Ford for the United States Senate. The fact that Ford is democrat and Eewberry republican does not have any bearing on the case. It would be just as shameful if Ford wore the purchaser and Newberry the 'defeated candidate.
 SThe man higher up" is always the hardest to reach and the last to suf- ifer punishment. Too often he es- cspes altogether and the tools who did his bidding, or at least acted under his tacit approval, must bear the burden of guilt, while their lead er merely receives some undesirable publicity which he soon lives down and is m fine fettle for the next coup.
 If the charges made in Michigan are true-and they can hardly be otherwise, so far as the spending of a huge slush fund is concerned-no sane person is going to believe that the man directly benefited was in ig- norance of what was going on. An air of innocence might deceive the un- sophisticated, but it merely excites the risibles of experienced politi- clans.
 Newberry may never be convicted of any wrong doing, but the impress sion prevails that where there is so much smoke, there is bound to be some fire. To all .intents and pur- poses he is a badly discredited man. x

Having Given Away a Jail
 Birmingham Now Needs One

THE report of Dr. Glenn Andrews,
 0 state prison inspector, on the Birmingham city jail, indicates that work on new city hall and jail can Fnot be started too soon.
 \ Until recently Birmingham had a model prison, one of the most up-to- date in the country, which was used by prohibitionists conducting cam paigns in other states to "point a moral and adorn a tale," for it re- mained empty. According to the pro- hibitionists, this was due to the ban ishment of liquor, which in days gone by caused much strife and bloodshed. It was finally decided to use the new jail as an adjunct to the juvenile court. The jail inspected by Dr. Andrews, and which he declares to be snot proper place in which to keep human beings for a day." has been in use for many years. It is hopeless ly anticipated.
 There is no reflection on the city authorities in Dr. Andrews report. It is generally known that the com missionets are merely marking time until funds are available to do away with the cramped and insanitary

Consular Agent Jenkins
 Once More a Free Man

01N HE release of Consular Agent
 9 Jenkins from Mexican prison at Puebla ends another international crisis" As there is nothing to indi- cate that President Carranza has lost his mind, there could have been no other response to the sharp and per- emptory demand of the American government that Jenkins be set at liberty.
 The Mexican government may be more or less of farce, but it has not yet reached the point where it is going to bring on war with a nation which would make short work of "cleaning up" troublesome neighbor. There is too much at stake. Carranza is no fool, and regardless of what his feelings may be toward America, he is not courting intervention as a remedy for the evils that now afflict his country
 The Jenkins case was from the be- ginning more or less exaggerated. It gave sensational newspapers and in terventionists just what they were waiting for, an opportunity to an- nounce new crisis, and the worst of all, which could only be adequately met by sending American troops across the Rio Grande.
 It was a foregone conclusion that the Mexican government would yield rather than create a casus belli.

Increasing Prosperity
in Farm Sections

1T'HERE has been steady progress S in the agricultural sections of the south in recent years, and espe- clally has Alabama made strides along Fhe lines of crop diversification.
 What Alabama needs is an increase in packing houses. Those that have beer built and are in operation are decidedly profitable. They create cash market for swine, mutton and beef cattle, and benefit the entire community where they are situated. It is hoped many additional pack ing houses Will be built in the coming year The grain elevator is another enterprise that is indispensable to progressive farming. And still an- other improvement that makes for economy and great development in every branch of husbandry is the tractor blow.
 The farmers having prospered are now able to buy tractors, and cooper ate with bankers and merchants in building packing houses and elevators Every wide-awake tiller of the soil will avail himself of these improvements.

They do not put the hives in mourning, but in the event of death in the family it is considered necessary to inform the beessof the misfortune or they will dwindle away with grief. The manner of communicating the intelligence to the beeyards is observed with due re- gard to custom. The key of the house is taken, and going to the hives three knocks are given.

RED CROSS MONEY

What will the Red Cross do with

This question has been asked n num-

There are eight detectives in the
peace program of the American Red
Gross, said Mr.. Lippitt, The money
obtained in the roll call drive through

lines which will help us attain them.
First, we aim to see the last soldier

lives OF American babies, one out of

We will work to stop the spread OF

sum up, we want to build a stronger,
safer, happier America"
