Election Commissioners,

Since tie election law providing for
state board OF three commissioners
was enacted several years ago. lnnum-
cradle efforts have been made TO re-
peal. amend, mutllate or otherwise de-
stroy It's effectiveness.
The law was passed for the purpose
OF taking the election machinery out
81 the hands OF the governor. Its pas
sage was facilitated by the hostility ex-
isting at that time between the gov
ernor and majority OF the Legislature
The efforts that have been made to
repeal or nc dlfy the law nave had their
inspira ton from those who sought TO
capture the election machinery SO wisely
taken away from one-man control. But
the law has stood tho test OF a num-
Der of years and innumerable cleo
lions. II has been indicated by US
age, The sentiment for its repeal or
modification has passed away.
The state hoard OF election commits
sioners, for the most part, has been
composed Of officials whose first oh
jective was to secure honest elections,
Occasionally mistakes have been made
in naming county commissioners. Com
plants Of fraud have been local and
not general Election scandals and bal
lot box stuffing since the passing Of
the law largely have become things Of
the past.
The election OF Bate Bond by the
recent Legislature to III a vacancy on
the state board was an excellent thing.
Mr.. Bond Is a man Of high standing
and splendid integrity. His name car
ries with Il throughout the state as
surances OF a purpose to give the peo-
Pile honest elections. No better selec-
ton could have been made. The state
is fortunate In having the service OF
Mr.. Bond on this board for which he
WAS in no sense a candidate.

WALKER COUNTY
 WOMEN REGISTER
Race Between Republicans and Democrats Representatives.
 Miners Have Returned

Jasper, October 23.-(Spee ial. )-Walker county is now busily engaged in regis tering her women population preparatory to the voting on November ? The women are registering in great numbers and es- pecially the republican women. The re- publicans are working as they have never worked before in getting their women out. They are running automobiles to every beat in the county and bringing them in. To date they have registered about 1,5o0 women, which is in excess of the democratic women by about 500 to 70.
 There has been an organized effort on the part of the democrats to get the women to register in the different beats during the next week There is more activity in this at this time than has been in political history of the county. Both sides are claiming victory at the poles in November in the local offices here, and it is hard to say just now who really has the lead in the matter Un- less there is a good deal of work done in the county the coming week there is likelihood of the republicans carrying one or two offices
 Capt. Frank s. White of Birmingham and L. B. Musgrove of Jasper made addressesy to very large crowds here this afternoon. Theyt spoke in the in- terest of the democratic party and for labor Both speeches were heard by large crowds,

 ''A thorough knowledge of the needs resources, the people and their customs IS essential in dealing with any country more So of Russia, which is so different from our own in every respect. America has suffered repeatedly from ignorance and carelessness A firm once shipped machinery to South America which was rejected because they had failed to taken into consideration the necessity of trans porting it to the interior districts hy pack train. A competitor having a superior knowledge of the country se- cured this contract with goods not equal to ours. We must also make allowances for climatic conditions. Heat. cold. damp ness, dust and even insects cannot be ignored. A reasonable amount of precau ton in packing would have saved a large quantity of condensed milk that froze while in transit in Russia. This hap pened at time when food was worth its weight in gold.
 'In Russia the first impression is an unusually lasting one.
 Here is an illustration: A perfectly good American paddock which is known to have been made in the United States will be called French lock' by the Russians simply because the French n- troduced them into that country.

A buyer go- ing into store when shown two pairs of shoes would ask where they were mades and if one pair happened to be made in our country he would take the other pair regardless of where they had been manufactured or without close scrutiny.
 s.sWe run the grave risk of having the word American construed to mean worthless if we take, advantage of the present necessity to charge extortionate prices for inferior goods.
