HERE'S HOW THE TRUTH
 WOULD LOOK IN PRINT

There are few-very people
 in this world who maintain that a newspaper should invariably tell the truth. Should such an individ-
 ual ever own a newspaper and try
 to live up to his ideal he would
 last quick. Imagine what would
 happen to an editor who published
 a wedding notice like the following:
 The home of Mir. and Mrs. B. A. Chump was the scene of an osten- Itatiously vulgar wedding Tuesday evening when their daughter Ina finally roped in young Boob Me- Mutt, the brainless dispenser of ice cream and sodas at R. U. Sane's
 blind pig, Old Chump, who was half shot, gave the bride away, which was waste of breath, as everyone there knew all about her
 beforehand. She is called accom- plished, her father having squan- dered some of his ill-gotten war profits upon her for music lessons,
 enabling her to hammer the piano after fashion andsscreech like a fiea-bitten coyote. Her homely

They left next morning for Niagara Falls to escape the joshing they have coming. The trip will eat up what little dough Boob had saved, and as he has no credit in town his father in-law will probably have to pay for their ham and eggs after their return. However, the old man fig ureS he has mace a fair gamble, as the bride, who has the temper of a singed wildcat, has kept him in hot water for ten years. The bride is 31 years old and the groom 21."
 Don't you think that notice sounds truthful? So do we. But none of us have ever seen a real wedding described that way.

 OFFICIAL CANVASS
Meager Returns Indicate That Both Amendments Were Defeated at Polls in
 Tuesday Ballot

Montgomery, February 9.-(Special.l Alabama had an election on two con- stitutional amendments Tuesday, but 2i hours later Alabama doesn't know whether they were ratified or rejected
 NO interest was manifested and even election officers neglectd to withhold copies of the returns when the orig inals were sealed in the ballot boxes. No one can know whether they were accepted or rejected until the official canvass is made by the state election commission in 15 days from Tuesday
 Meager returns tonight indicate that the voters opposed both amendments. It is estimated that not one fifth of the normal vote was cast, due to the fact that no campaign was made One amendment sought to give the high way commission authority to sell s5.- oo0,o00 of the $25,O00,00O bond issue at D per cent interest. The other provided that persons must be able to under stand the republican form of govern ment before being accepted as voters.

SPECIAL ELECTION TO
 AWAIT FORMAL NOTICE
 OF BLACKM0N'S DEATH


 Montgomery, February s.-(Special.)- Governor Kilby will not issue call for special election in the Fourth congress sional district for the selection of a sue cessor of Congressman Fred L.. Black mon, who died in Florida Tuesday morn ing, until official notice of the vacancy has been received from the House of Representatives. He made this state nient today.
 Governor Kilby is expected to allow a sufficient time for a campaign in the district in order that all persons who desire to enter the contest and submit their platforms to the voters may do so.

SMALL DIFFERENCE

There is no serious difference between the operators and their former employees. The only difference of consequence be- tween the operators and the striking miners, and the real cause of the strike. is the simple question of recognition by United Mine Workers of America. That was the finding of the state coal commits sion, which investigated the matter last fall.
 T can see only two immtdiate rem- edies for the existing situation:
 ''Q) Recognition, direct or indirect, ot the United Mine Workers of America by the coal operators. Direct recognition means the making of contracts by and between the operators and the officers ot the United Mine Workers of America to control the conditions of mine labor. In direct recognition would be the making of contracts between the operators and the worlxmen in their mines which would be accepted by the United Mine Workers of America as satisfactory to the or ganization.
 NO STATE LAW
 ''(2) Publication of statement by the Alabama labor leaders and their well known attorneys to the effect that they will no longer counsel the violation of the laws of Alabama through picketing and otherwise, and that all Workmen should be allowed to pursue their voca- tion without intimidation or molestation, followed by the immediate withdrawal from Alabama of the leaders of the United Mine Workers of America and other labor agitators from other states Such action on the part of the labor leaders and their lawyers would end the unhappy situation without an official from the United Mine Work CTS of America and permit the with drawal of the soldiers and their return to their distressed and anxious families. many of whom are in sore need of the services for thtir boys. Unfortunately, there is no law on the statute books to enforce the adoption of either plan. The only force that can be used is the force of public opinion, publicly and plainly but lawfully expressed
 The question for the people of Ala bama to consider is as to how long they will permit the existence of this intoler- able situation which is costing the tax , payers of Alabama a hundred thousand dollars per month. Public opinion can answer the question. Neither party to the controversy can stand against 1t. hope the people will speak in plain, positive and unmistakable terms.
