Madison's Prosperity

(Huntsville News)
 Thirty-cent cotton and more than 30,000 bales of cotton for Madison county last year all confirm the prediction of this newspaper, and the Daily Times now calls upon it's farmer friends and planters gener- ally to go to it for the 50,000 bales of cotton in 1923, plus diversifica- tion of crops that will give you an agricultural production in dollars and cents ranging anywhere from $15, 5,0o0,0OO to $20,0O0,000 this year.
 Birmingham's Fine Schools

 Birmingham educators were told at the convention Of the superinten- dents department of the National Educational association that Bir- mingham schools had advanced fur ther during the past several years than those of most of the northern and eastern cities and rank among the first of the lanc. Alabama is fast coming to the front in educa- tion as we'll as other things. What is true of Birmingham is, in a varying degree, true of other cities in Alabama. Progress in education is a horse of another color.

A Timely Editorial
New York's Unorthodox Senator
Chicago News)

NSulCdSO INeWSJ
 Apparently there is no. stopping the farmer influence in the United States senate. It gets help from the most unexpected places. For instance, Royal s. Copeland, on giv- ing up his position as head of the health department of New York city and assuming his duties as successor to Senator Calder, announces that he does not "give whoop" for in- ternational bankers, but is going to "work for welfare measures and better farm conditions"
 A senator from out of the shad- ows of Wall Street not caring a whoop for international bankers and bent on bettering farm condi- tions was hardly to be expected. Still, if the farm bloc is congratu- lating itself on the acquisition of a recruit it is due for disappointment. Dr. Copeland is opposed to the farm bloc and to all other plocs, he says, except an all-American bloc. And his interest in farming, which he acquired in Michigan before he went to New York, IS on the social and welfare side rather than the economic, which concerns the mem bers of the bloc.
 Dr. Copeland's program, though hardly orthodox for a senator out of New York city, is interesting and promises to be beneficial.
