AN UNLAMENTED CONGRESS

Yesterday the sixty-seventh congress came to close. It would be difficult to point out conspicuously important measure that has been enacted by this body. On the other hand it's whole course is strewn with the corpses of throttled bills that bore the unmstakabe insignia of statesmanship. Some measures were passed, it is true, such as emergency and appropriation bills, with out which the conduct of our government would have been seriously impeded, but they were routine business, capable of hay ing been attended to by clerks, had clerks the requisite authority. Certain it is they could all have been considered and enacted into law with the utmost expedition, such as would have testified to the ability of our statesmen, and still have left ample time for consideration and enactment of vital legislation.
 One of the most outstanding failures was that of the merchant marine bill. Through a misconception of their duty and obligation, even the great majority of senators and representatives from the Gulf states op- posed this measure and thus placed addi- tiona impeachment in the way of the development of Gulf ports. For the meas ure provided that the Gulf ports be placed on a parity with the North Atlantic ports in carrying goods to Europe. Without that provision vessels under private manage ment sailing from Gulf ports for Europe are obliged to travel nearly double the distance between New York and Europe and yet compete with lines serving the North Atlantic ports. The subsidy would have wiped out this disadvantage, and would have enabled the people of the Middle West and the South to continue the rate advantage of routing their export goods to the nearest seaport, and their industrial products to compete with those in the East. As 1t Is, that advantage is endangered, unless other wise safeguarded.
 Refusal of congress to settle the future of Muscle Shoals is likewise without par liamentary excuse. Because of the failure to make this important source of power available to the people, great area is de- prved of the tremendous prosperity and de- velopment that is sure to accompany the operation of the Muscle Shoals project. Alabama is among the heaviest sufferers, for the tax revenue consequent upon this one industrial development alone would have been sufficient to supply the needed money for schools and education, and to have ma terially strengthened this states financial position.
 All that is over now, and glorious op- portunity for the exhibition of constructive statesmanshp is gone forever. Instead of developing statesmen, the congress devel- oped politicians; and instead of occupying itself sincerely with the peoples business the congress has brought reproach upon it. self and strengthened the popular feeling of dsapproval by dealing in filibusters and hiding behind legislative technicalities in fanced security from welldeserved public censure. That censure is not withheld and will be manifested when next the people ex- press themselves at the polls, just as it was manifested in part last November.

Bullock County Jail For Rent"
 (Elba Clipper)

NElDa Cllppef)
 The grand jury recently recessed at Union Springs. A.a., found only nine rtue bills, none of which were originated in Union Springs. There are no county prisoners in the jail, and the jury facetiously reported that sthe building was unused, it might be rented, buc stated in case it was rented some repairs would be needed. The recent activities of judge, jurieS and prosecutors has resulted in freedom from crime. The jury also found that but sin gle pauper was confined in the aims house. and that she was in need of pair of shoes, and that she be "provideds with vlotn:ng commensu- rate with her position" It was also deemed unnecessary to longer keep COW fol. the single inmate and the recommendation was made that the COW be sold. Inasmuch as all people are well clothed, when garbed propery for their work and station in life, it is asserted that the inmate will soon be clothed in accordance with her position"

To support the claims of Alabama to the recognition of capital is one of the re- responsibilities of the press of this state. For that reason it is all the more obligatory to look carefully into the facts before accept ing any dietum unfavorable to Alabama and it's development.

Boost for Farmer, Too

(HartseIIe Enterprise)
 Everybody is ready to advocate town improvement-and it is good thing to do, too. But why not ad- vocate country improvement also? The farmer is the b1e kbone of every community. Without him there would b. no cities or towns, noth- ing to eat or wear, nothing to do but do nothing. The farmer needs better roads. He needs better school facilities for his children.

Hog Raising Pays

- ' "ftUuCSd DdIIy IIOnItI
 Of course it does not pay to raise hogs and cattle, at whatever prices they may bring on the market, if the owner does not raise food for them, but if he raises the feed for them on his own farm, they will do the eat ing, and if he gives them the right sort of attention, he will prosper.

DOES 1T PAY TO
CONTINUE IN SCHOOL?

At this time of year, when schools
all over the land are beginning Their
new years work, the question OF
their childrens' attendance at school
is often forced upon parents. Some
times it is the desire Of the boy OF
girl for some reason, to discontinue
their education. Lack Of interest
may have developed and the desire
to earn money by working has in
creased the disinterest. Parents are
therefore confronted by the question
Of whether or not to permit their
child to quit school and go to work.
1t is a proven fact, in the general
run of people, that it is poor eco
nomic policy for any child to quit
school and go to work because he
wants to make money. We submit
the following report Of DR.. A. Cos
well Ellis of the University of Tex
as, who has made very thorough
investigation of the subject at the
request of the U. S. Bureau of Ed
ucation. The report follows:
Every day spent in schools pays
the child 50.
Here is the proof, based upon the
wage scale of 1913:
Uneducated laborers earn on the
average of $500 per year for forty
years, total of $4,000.
High school graduates earn on the
average of $1,000 year for forty
years, a total of $4,000.
This education required twelve
years Of school Of 180 days each, a
total Of 2,16O days in school.
II 2,160 days At school add $780,
900 to the income for life then each
day at school adds 1925.
The child who stays out Of
school to earn less than 500 .
day 10 losing money and not
making money.
Parents, boys and girls, think it
over, and act wisely.
