Had His Feelings Hur.

(Gadsden Evening JournaD
 Representative Js Lee Long of Butler county, champion of a bill to require the election by the people of the county supcrIntendents of education, has had his feelings hurt, it seems. Speaking on a question of personal privilege in the house few days ago, MT. Long took excep- tions to the editorials of The Bir- mingham Age-Herald, the Mobile Register and other newspapers in the state who are opposing the bill regarding the county superintend- ents. MT. Long referred particular ly to an editorial in ayBinmingham paper which calls some of the leg islators "small political dema- gogues." He then charged that newspapers of the state are con trolled by an educational ma chine.' About the same time Rep resentative Ashcraft, speaking of newspaper comments on the water power tax-exemption bill, charged that the newspapers had sold their advertising space and their edito- rial policy to the Alabama Power company. As the Montgomery Ad- vertisers aptly remarks. attacking the press is the last resort of the demagague."

Each Pay Own Way
Huntsville Daily Tomes

Huntsville Daily Tomes)
 The daily Times is one of those newspapers that opposes the free railroad pass legislation proposed at this session of the Alabama Hegisla- ture and is glad that such bill was killed. The representative newspapers of the state are able and do pay their way on the railroads and they in turn expect the rail- roads to pay for their advertising. Such an arrangement has worked satisfactorily with the Daily Times, and we believe all the newspapers will find similar results if they go after business in the right way. Anyway, it is good for both the newspapers and the railroads that the free pass bill was killed.

 FAILING EYESICHT
(Worcester Telegram)

In Williamson county, Illinois, in broad daylight, on a public high way and before the eyes of several hundreds of citizens, twenty help less men were butchered. Their butchers still go unpunished. Their identities are mysterious. Nobody can recognize them. Defective vis- ion is obviously a characteristic of the population of Williamson coun- ty, Illinois. It cannot see that jus. tice is done. It can only see red.

AN UNSTABLE BAROMETER

The cotton farmer has been buffeted, and is still at the mercy of the cotton mar ket, one of the most mysterious and uncer- tain of earthly things. Every wind that blows, or does not blow. affects the cotton market. Not alone is it excess of cold or heat. nor vet the weevil which bores through the dreams about to be realized, that gov crns the market. In 1920 when these things were at their worst, the price dropped from forty-three cents to ten before the season was over. A small cloud anywhere on the horizon which may possibly prcsage war Is sufficient to exert pressure on the parom- eter of cotton values At this time, 1t Is true5 the signs in the Ruhr and elsewhere are troubling. But this serves as but ar- other proof of the ironic fate which pursues the planter of cotton. In spite of the menac- ing signs, the price of cotton remains around twanty-eight cents pound. Under normal political conditions what would have been the price of cotton today? Under ordinary conditions" the Wall Street Journal says, "cotton would be selling at prices never dreamed of since the Civil war For sev- eral years the cotton farmer has been des- perately hard hit. Now he still has cotton to sell and 1t is admitted that the world is almost out of cotton-admitted by the spin ners and even the bankers who, ordinarily, in dealing with the farmer, are so inclined to shake their heads. The only thing that keeps the producer from getting his dues is the market which right now is too busy watching matters to the east to bestow much attention upon cotton's creators in the South. The irony which plays with the cotton prices is not easy to account for. But from wherever it comes it is generally on hand to do the wrong thing at the right time.

The house of Charles Henderson
was burned Saturday morning, about
o'clock. The fire was caused by an
overheated chimney, which had
burned out earlier in the morning. A
large crowd of neighbors soon gath
cred, and practically everything in
the house was saved The fire was
under too great Roadway when help
arrived to try to save the house, so
the whole attention was given to saw
ing the furniture, and keeping the
stable and church, which were very
near, wet down. Through the strenu-
Gus efforts of the men, these build
ings were saved. Mr.. Henderson is
an elderly man, in feeble health and
without family, having lost his wife
about four years ago. He feels the
loss of his home keenly. He ex-
presses his thanks to all those who
gathered so quickly and worked so
heroically in helping to save his
property. There was small insur-
ance.

 Senator Tone said that the bill was conservative measure and should be passed and that the reason no factory worker appeared in behalf of the bill was because they were afraid they would lose their position if they dared to oppose anything the employers were favorable to.
