Time-savinE Schools

"The summer schools being con ducted for the benefit of the chil- dren who did not pass and for those who wish to try and skip a grade are now in full blast" says Russell Hunt.
 T am glad the authorities have ar ranged them for the convenience of the pupils and the patrons. It may seem hard on boy or girl to have to make up in some study. but it IS best for them. as it gives the op- portunity of being promoted.
 Then there are always some am bilious children who have faith enough in themselves to feel that by putting in the time in summer school they can save school year"

NIGHT NOISES

From the Chicago News.
 Old notions on the sound of revelry by night have undergone revision by modern Mohawks. The proof of this is to be found in the collegiate sec tion of a well-known north shore suburb, and especially around the womens dormitories. where young Lochinvar of the class of '25 calls for his dance date.
 Young Lochinvar of the class of '23 is known by the speed of his motor car and the power of it's horn His steed comes rearing up with cutout open and stops with snort He stands honking until his fair one trips down the stairs; he hooks her into the conveyance, and then he once. And the noises of the early evening are nothing to the noises of the small hours. When a dozen young Lochinvars are unloading sound resembles bolshevist upris- ing in the zoo.
 The note of revelry by night has altered for the worse. The snortss and honks of the modern serenade may be sweeter to the fair one than the old-fashioned barber shop chords, but they are not sweet to the neigh bors. The clippety -clop of the old fashioned steed was infinitely prefer able to the open cutout of today.
 All over this fair land the stilly night IS being murdered and the last strongholds of silence are being stormed. The police of Philadelphia have just opened a last desperate crusade to keep the night safe fo- somnolence. If the fight is lost there, what can others hope? The ears of the world are on Philadelphia.

From an English Workhous,
 to a Seat in Parliament

7N HE Right Honorable William II Crooks, who died the other day in London, was a Dickens char acter. English people did not trou- ble to call him Right Honorable" except on ceremonious occasions. They didn't even call him William. He was popular man. The peo- pie who loved him and admired him called him Will Crooks.
 We speak of America as a land of opportunity, but England isN a land of opportunity, too, in spite of its royal house, it's nobility and q more rigid caste system than we have in this country. If that were not true, Will Crooks, who was born in slum, began life as pauper infant and at nine years of age was doing odd jobs about the docks, might not have become famous and an honored member of the House of Commons.
 Part of Will Crooks childhood was spent in an English workhouse, which may have been the kind of < public institution described by Dick ems. It could not have been the most desirable place in the world to start fhe battle of life. He worked for years as cooper, after serving his apprenticeship, but it was not al. ways profitable employment. He

Democracy Vindicated
 in the Fourth District

FNHE sweeping victory of Maj. ll Lamar Jeffers in the Fourth congressional district, where he de- feated Judge A. P. Longshore, was a hard blow to the republican party in Alabama. Elaborate preparations had been made to insure a heavy vote for the republican candidate, but Major Jeffers appears to have received one of the largest majori- ties ever given in the Fourth dis trict.
 As test of republican strength the election proved of more than passing interest. In Alabama and in other southern states, the republi- cans have cherished the hope of be- ing able to undermine the "solid south," a hope that was doubtless inspired to some extent by the re- publican victory in Tennessee dur ing the presidential election.
 Whatever chances the republican party had to gain footing in the south have been decreased since the party has been in office and are growing steadily less, as the inevi- table result of its unwillingness or inability to keep it's promises.
 The democratic hosts were beaten last year, and we might as well &C., knowledge that they were badly beaten, but they are unbowed and will regain whatever prestige was lost when time shows that the re- publicans have no panacea for the troubles brought on the nation by the World war.
 So far as the "solid south" is con cerned, it is going to remain solid and fight for democratic principles.

BENEFITED TALENT

The enterprising cracksman is an
 artist with his tools. His work reveals 8 high degree of
 skill He has no end of knowledge that s
 not acquired in schools And labors at his calling with a
 will. He puts in years of practice more
 efficiency to gain And never is quite certain of his
 haul; For while it's true that many safes
 a store of wealth contain, Some others hold scarce anything
 at all. I've often thought the energy devoted
 to his trade,
 The courage and the brains that it
 demands. Would have spelled success in bust
 ness, perhaps fortune made And left him with a cleaner pair of
 hands.

OF INTEREST TO NEWSPAPERS

From the Selma Times-Journal.
 The contention raised by The Age- Herald in the case wherein it is be- ing sued by Representative Huddles- ton for defamation of character to the effect that the action must be brought at the place of publication and not at some elected place of dis tribution. will be watched with i'm terest by all newspapers.
 Theodore Roosevelt, while Presi- dent, in an outburst of passion un- dertook to sue the New York World and the Indianapolis News in every community in the United States where those newspapers were circu- lated, containing the alleged libelous matter. The initial case was tried in New York and thrown out, and sub sequentiy the programme of litiga- tion fell down. but the issue of juris- diction was never settled. The old doctrine that crime attends the per son of him who commits it and that the accused must be tried at the scene of his offense ought to apply to newspaper just as to an individ- ual, and it would seem to be mani festly unfair to place publisher at the mercy of the law in every locali- ty where his paper has subscriber.

The City Market

'"The truckers market is doing very we'll" said County Agent H. l.. Brown. Owing to the dry season, comparatively little stuff has been grown, but with some rain the truck CTS will have fine assortment. They have made 1t a standing rule not to open the market until o'clock. so as to give the housewives full op- portunity at the full stock.
 "The truckers have a plan which provides for a stall to be kept open after the general marketing is over for belated customers. This will be done, if the trade justifies it. The truckers are doing their best to please. and expect to make continu- ous progress in doing so."
