THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.

THE ISLE UT LON9 AOO. By Benjamin F. Taylor Oh, a wonderful stream is the River of
 Time, With faultless rhythm and a musical
 rhyme, And "a breathing sweep and surge sub
 lime. As it blends with the Ocean of Years. How the winters are drifting like flakes
 of snow, With summers like buds between, And the years in their sheaves-how they
 come and they go On the rivers breast, with it's ebb and
 it's flow, As it glides in the shadow and sheen! There's a magical isle up the River of
 Time. Where the softest of airs are playing There's cloudiess sky and a tropical
 cline, And the Junes with the roses are stray-
 ing. And the name of the isle is tho Long
 Ago. And we bury our treasures there: There are brows of beauty and blossoms
 of snow; There are heaps of dust,-oh. vs loved
 them so! There are trinkets and tresses of hatr There's fragment of song that nobody
 sings. And part of an infants prayer, There's Iute. unswept and harp with
 out strings. There are broken vows and pieces ot
 rings. And the fragrance she used to wear: There are hands that are waved aen

The Age-Herald Is Still
 Supporting Oscar Underwood

1N HE Tuscaloosa News professes
 4 to be afraid that The Age Herald is getting into deep political waters" Charging that political propaganda opposed to Mr. Under wood has appeared in its columns, the News asks what candidate The Age Herald is honestly. and sincerely supporting for the United States Senatee"
 For twenty years this newspaper has been an ardent supporter of Oscar Underwood. It has never devil ated from that policy, as it's editorial page will bear witness. So strongly does The Age-Herald believe in the integrity and ability of Senator Un- derwood that it regards it as a re- flection on the state of Alabama that he is opposed for reelection to an of flee which he has filled with so much distinction.
 The campaign now being. waged against Oscar Underwood in Ala bama is absurd and creates amaze ment in other parts of the country where he is. regarded as one of the greatest statesmen America has ever produced. That such a man should have to fight professional politicians to retain his seat in the Senate seems incredible. The enemies of Mir. Un-

Road Bond Issues
 and Coming Election

M LABAMA has more qualified 6A voters than ever before, and we should have a full vote February Is, on the good roads bond issues state and county.
 That there will be record vote at the primaries goes without saying, but as no candidates for office are to test their strength this month. not all who can exercise their privilege will go to>the polls
 The bond propositions will carry. it is believed. But the maiorities should be sweeping. A bare major ity for the twenty five million dollar issue would not look we'll for Ala bama. The campaign thersfore should be vigorous right up to the end-as vigorous as if candidates were at stake.
 No election of recent years has been so important as this for good high ways. While auto-car and auto-truck owners and farmers are directly con cerned in the question, every citizen is affected. Property values from one end of Alabama to the other will be enhanced, and everything that makes for the betterment of the state is worth while to the entire electorate.
 s The larger the vote the greater will be the effect on business in cities and towns and Alabama as home seekers state. Lets have no indif- ference when voting day comes.
