Palmer's Formal Entry
 Into Presidential Race

THERE are several aspirants for
 4 the democratic nomination for the presidency, but Attorney General Palmer is the first to declare him. self. Being member of the cabinet, the people will have an opportunity of indorsing the administration
 In a telegram to the secretary of the Georgia state democratic commit tee, Mir. Palmer says that eff the democrats of Georgia see fit to se- lect me as their choice, I shall re- ceive the honor with deep apprecia- tion."
 MT. Palmer has distinct advan- tage over other aspirants. In the first place, he is widely and favor ably known, and in the next he has organized his supporters thoroughly. This work of organization has gone on quietly, but few candidates in oth- CT years have had their forces bet ter in hand.
 MT. Palmer has a clean record one that will appeal to the simon pure democracy of the country. His candidacy will bring other aspirants out into the open. Before the cam paign is far advanced there will be several popular aspirants in the race from whom to select.
 In other years, before the direct primary system was in vogue, the convention system obtained, and it usually happened that the popular choice narrowed down to two or three men.
 In 1892, the only names before the national committee were Cleveland and Hill. In later conventions Bryan was the foremost candidate. But the of 1912 brought forth several strong aspirants, Underwood them; but after a hot contest Wilson was the winner. In 1916,
 
 Wilson had it all to himself, but in the coming primary, it will be free for-all race.

Sure ly no one in his right mind would strive to displace Oscar Underwood, who has served, his state and his na- tion well for a quarter of a century and has won national fame by his in- tegrity and ability, for no other req son than the memory of past defeats and belief that revenge is sweet?
 The Age-Herald knows the Hon. "Breck" to be shrewd man. As host at 'possum supper, or in tell ing choice stories to a few of the "boys" in hotel lobby, he has no superior and few equals. Of course, he isn't asking the voters of Ala bama to send him to the United States Senate because he, the Hon. "Breck," has grudge to settle? But if he has been correctly quoted, then the friends of Senator Underwood may well repeat John Armstrong Chaloner's famous remark, "Who's Ioonv now9u

Mems Hats to Be Far
 Higher Next Fall

M MMEN'S CLOTHING is steadily
 0V0 advancing in price. Every article is much higher than it was six months ago, and there is no promise of drop.
 Mems hats will reach the peak by the coming fall. And it will not be a case of profiteering. The scarcity of furs that enter into the manufac-
 ture of felt explains it. And the fad
 of ladies' fashions in wearing furs in summer as well as winter accounts in great part for the situation. The president of prominent hat
 manufacturing company says that
 the shortage of fur, mostly rabbit
 skins, is felt all over Europe. The price has advanced in some instances seven hundred per cent. and so long as ladies' styles call for much fur, there is no possibility of prices com ing down.
 Straw hats will not be affected by
 the high cost of fall and winter headwear, although the straw price
 will be far from moderate, measured | by prices of last year or the year be- fore.
 But man, to keep in the fashion
 six months from now, must have a fat pocketbook if he would wear a
 hat that used to cost five pr six
 dollars.
 The soaring price will cause many
 man to brush up his old hat and go without new one.
 When the high cost of living is discussed food is the first thing that comes into mind. Next the clothes of wife and children. But man who formerly dressed in good taste on two hundred and fifty dollars year is doing we'll nowadays if he gets off with four, or five hundred. Next falls hat in style will cost as much as half dozen fine shirts would have cost before the war. ssly

 Edwards went up to her. Edwards speciality is making friends with the old ladies.

 No, thank you,' she said, was just looking around"

 She hesitated and seemed slightly frightened. But Edwards bigness and his particular way with old ladies were too much for her.

Instance of Waste.


 'An instance of British waste, as against American efficiency in indus try is contained in report on British industrial reconstruction and conner eial policies, just issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce at Washington said L. sevier, president of the Alabama Manufacturers Asso- citation.
 Tt is estimated that the electric power industry in England is wasting 55,OoO 900 tons of coal annually. ac- cording to this report, and lack Of eentralzation and standardization is blamed
 Tn the area of London alone. the report states. there are seventy au- thorities that supply electricity to the public, owning seventy generating sta tons, with fifty different types of sys tems, ten different frequencies, and twenty-four different voltages.
 The average geperating capacity of the 500 establishments in England that sell electrie current is only 5000 horsepower each the report goes on, and this is about one-fourth the ca pacity of generating plant of eco nomical size. So unorganized is the whole electrical industry that one cam not purchase simple electric globe without specifying the particular type of socket in which it Is to be used
 T suspect the American people do rot realize what vast efficiency in orr ganization has been brought to bear in standardizing the electrical busi- ness in this country. I wonder how long they would endure such a system as that which prevails in England?'

All have to say is that it's rather new thing for big hotels to be so cordial in their greeting to those who come within their walls"

REALITY

By Emerson. Vt
 A man who is sure of his point carries a broad and contented expression which everybody reads And you cannot rightfully train one to an air and man. ner. except by making him the kind of man of whom that manner is the nat ural expression. Nature forever puts premium on reality. What is done for effect. is seen to be done for effect; what is done for love is felt to be done for love. A man inspires affection and honor. because he was not lying in wait for these.
