NOT A GOOD PROPOSAL

The state owes no higher duty to any of it's citizens than to care for the unfortunate children, who by req son of the death, neglect or destitu- tion of their parents would otherwise be without those opportunities and care that are the just heritage of child hood. Therefore, it is imperative that the legislature make whatever appro- priation is necessary to fulfill this public obligation.
 & It is extremely unfortunate, how ever, that those who claim to support human welfare activities should seek to benefit one group at the expense of the misfortunes of another group. Thus the measure suggested to turn over to the child welfare department the revenues from convict leasing is but to add encouragement to those who favor a continuation of this bar barous practice. Those who sincerely seek to promote human welfare know no distinction of age, group or condi- tion. A human being is a human be- ing regardless of age or circumstances If it were left to the children them selves to decide whether they should profit by the miseries of others, it is Believed that the very children would have the wider vision and would re- fuse. Let not their elders be outdone in responding to the higher instincts. Let leasing cease, and let the less for tunate children of the state be amply provided for. Both are equally an obligation upon Alabama.

Blind Justice

Blind Justice There was sculptor years ago who sculped Dame Justice blind. He closed the lady's eyes that she might have an open mind. With heavy cloth he draped her lamps To shield her sight from legal vamps
 So that she might
 Dispense alright The laws of human kind. But open-eyed and open-mouthed the modern juries sit And on the charming prisoner their calf-like optics fit. They have no mercy on a dame If she is wrinkled, old and lame.
 But some fair wren
 May slay ten men And get away with it. Spain is keeping up, in a sort of way, with the march of progress. Horse cab drivers in Barcelona are on strike.

Should Keep Faith
(Centreville Press)

Republican President Harding promised the people of Tuskegee when they donated the land for the big negro veterans hospital that 1t would be managed by white men. Now that election Is shortly to come off, he has changed his mind. But he will find that while this was not in writing, it will be to the best in terest of the hospital that he keep faith with the people of Tuskegee. We have never un- derstood why Tuskegee should want this hospital, but she has it, and we want to see the agree. ment kept,

Opposing His own People

\AHhislOH otdT)
 In a lengthy and exhaustive statement the state harbor com mission has answered very thor oughly and very convincingly the criticisms made by Representative J. Lee Long of Butler county re- garding the port of Mobile. Just why Representative Long should oppose the port amendment, when his county would derive perhaps greater benefit from the develop ment of the port than any other in the state, is a mystery. But Ter produces heavily of cotton and the enlarged and improved port would afford an excellent outlet for that crop which is now lack ing. Butler produces lumber in great quantities, and the markets of the world would be at it's dis posal through the port develop ment.

Will Not Get Far

 J.

It Is not believed that MT. Long will get very far with his guerilla attack, for his ques- tionnaire is full of implied infer ences and insinuations that are intended to prejudice and not to guide the public in its considera- ton of the subject.
