UNCLE SAM AS CUPID

There is little enough left of state rights as it is. And now Senator Capper of Kan sas comes forward with proposal to amend the constitution of the United States and pass a marriage and divorce act thns put ting the fingers of the federal government into our very domestic affairs. While Vol stead agents were searching our premises, the federal clerks would be looking into the state of our marital relations Beyond that, or before that, the Capper agent would function. He would examine into our fit ness to get married. And, with such ab- sorbing assurance does the federal govern ment widen it's scope in field once opened to it, not inconceivable is the thought that Capper agent would one day be searching our souls as well as those of our sweet hearts in order to determine whether or not we are prepared to enter into that state which is sometimes referred to as hlissful. CaEper might even supplant Cupid, and romance might languish in the files of a Washington bureau. Statistics on love, its symptoms, it's blossomings, its reactions, its grocery bills and the vocational qualfca- tions incident thereto and the tempera- mental tempests arising therefrom-to say nothing of data bearing on all the equations of eugenics-would be gathered under the spy-glass of the Capper agent and passed upon by bureau head at Washington, god-like person, necessarily, appointed from some political stronghold or other, who would allow or disalow all marriages and di- vorces.
 The much-talked-of divorce evil is an evil certainly and there are, without doubt many hasty and unfortunate marriages. But when the state shall no longer be allowed to pass upon these affairs of it's citizens and a central power undertakes to do so, then indeed will the state have lost the right to be called state and it's citizens will have become mere wards of the government.

MUMMIES PAY THE PENALTY

Old Tutankhamen-it doesn't make any difference about him. The archaeologists who are digging into his tomb near Luxor may, as far as our interference goes, make scientific merriment with his bones. They are at liberty to prove or not to prove that he was the Pharoah who didn't like Moses and had something to do with the Israelites of the Exodus. But what strikes us as downright disrespectful is for them to dis turb that beautiful princess who has been hiding so modestly in those Egyptian sands for these four thousand years. This name less beauty of the first Theban dynasty was princess, as shown by the delicately tatooed traceries, emblematic of her caste, which are on her bosom and neck. The body is marvelously preserved-that of a slender and immature girl. It will be taken to a medical laboratory and there further exam ined by the cold-blooded archaeologists who have no sentiment, no sense of romance, who
 But the object of archaeological research is, after all, to unrave the mysteries of the past and to shed light in some fashion for us who are not yet mummies. Perhaps to undergo the disrespectful scrutiny of those who come ages after us is the penalty for having become a mummy.

THE POLL-TAX DEADLINE

After Thursday it will be too late to pay the poll tax and become a qualified voter. Booths for the payment of this tax, open to men and women, will be operated by the League of Women Voters in down town stores and in the suburbs until Thursday evening, thus enabling citizens to pay their poll tax without going to the courthouse
 There may be more than one election of great interest before the year is out Local questions of supreme interest may be sub mitted at the polls. In none of these can the unqualified participate. Does one value franchise? If so he will pay the poll tax before Thursday evening and have his name on the list of qualified voters. It is choice between full-fledged citizenship and inabil- ity to have voice in public affairs. It ought to be worth the time, trouble and the small sum of money involved in qualifying.

NO CURE LIKE PREVENTION

The care of public health generally is re- ceiving a great deal of attention. In ad- dtion, of course, much is being accom- plished against disease along specialized lines. More than ever before cures which formerly were beyond hope are effected. and preventive measures, once undreamed of, are provided. Many agencies are de-
 voted to health work. But there are agencies which, if properly organized, would carry this work infinitely further. Among these is the individual determination to observe all reasonable sanitary and hygienic pre- cautions against illness. By concerted eff
 fort communities and groups could wonder fully supplement public health operations and activities. Tuberculosis, typhoid, malaria, and others of the more deadly diseases, are preventable and so are most of the lesser ailments. Not to emphasize the reduction in mortality that would be brought about, how much money would be saved by not being sick! Health insurance is to be had, and is very valuable, but money itself does not pay for sickness. Nobody would VOL untarily be sick, with the expense, worry, loss of revenue and the chances involved, for the money that might come from sick benefits Yet failure to observe the laws of health is voluntarily handing oneself over to the danger of illness. If we have pre- ventable diseases, it must be because, as q community, we are willing to have them.

seillaise" and Deutschland ueber Alles." Patriotism, politics and economics are so badly mixed that it is hard to say where one begins and another leaves off The French are in the awkward position of school master with room full of rebelious pu- pills, who will not apply themselves to their tasks and defy him to bring on his corporal punishment Every time France makes a move, Germany counters with another.
 Where will it end? Both sides are prob. ably asking themselves that question. Pas sive resistance, which means in this case, strikes and idleness, gives the Germans plenty of time to brood over their fancied wrongs and hold demonstrations which are speedily broken up. Perhaps if they stayed at work they would not become so indig- nant

CoTToN,s STEADY ADVANCE

Cotton continues it's upward swing, March trading advancing at the close of the week to 28.63 cents. Prevailing comment on the advance is that 1t is due to the "good spot demand;' the demand for the cotton to go into mills for manufacture of the cloth that is to cover the backs of humans the world oyer The spot demand has been the in- mediate cause of the continuous advance of cotton, but back of that has been the sys- tematic and businesslike marketing of the yield through the farmers marketing agen- cies controlled by him and caring for his interests. This machinery has enabled the producer successfully to insist that he get profit over and above cost of production and his insistence has been successful be- cause he has placed his product on the same steady base as steel, leather and sugar. The price fluctuations of the present season have been the shortest on record and the difference between the high and low during these fluctuations has been less than in for mer seasons, the upward swing proceeding majestically notch by notch from one high point to another with each high level pinned down firmly until the next higher replaced it. The advancing trend does not seem to be sover with. The speculator has been gradually crowded to a narrower field as between himself and some other speculator Cotton values have been steady and risen In accordance with the law of supply and de- mand coupled with marketing machinery rendering it possible for that law to operate. The farmer is becoming independent by recognizing his business.

THE UTILITIEs MUST SERVE

The obligation of public utility to extend its service and equipment to meet the grow ing needs of an expanding community ex- ists, but it is too often not sufficiently en1- phasized. Utilities operate under exclusive franchises, for the most part, and in return for that exclusiveness are indebted to the community to the extent of furnishing ad- equate service. It may be that the exten- sion may not immediately pay, or that cer- tain portions of the service may not pay; but the returns must be estimated on the basis of the complete plant, and not on any division of it, and over a reasonable period of time, not for any short period. Even- tually, in growing communities, the non- paying portions will begin to pay. The obligation to furnish complete service can- not be denied or evaded.
 In this regard it is noted that certain new residence sections of Birmingham are having difficulty in obtaining gas service. Other sections are finding it necessary to wait long and patiently for the installation of telephones. Doubtless similar situation exists with respect to water and other forms of public utility service. The utilities in many cases are haggling over the conditions under which they will make necessary ex- tensions The question of responsibility for extending the gas service has been passed on by the Public Service Commission, but in such manner as to have excited the crit icism of patrons and the municipal officials of Birmingham. Evidently, the order does not set forth with sufficient vigor the prin- ciple that the extensions must be made and the service given. The question of inlne- diate return to the utility is one that the commission cannot permit to outweigh the public interest One would think that the company would be eager to expand it's op- portunity Perhaps being monopoly blunts enterprise.
 It is worth noting that the president of the commission deems it worth while to speak of the spirit of cooperation shown by off, ficials of the telephone company with re- gard to extending service. Perhaps this spirit is so rare among utilities that the commission finds it sufficiently remarkable to deserve official comment. And yet, there is no permanent investment any utility may make that will be of more benefit in the long run than the good will of the public. This can be best obtained by service and the exhibition of spirit of fairness and con- sideration for the public comfort and con- venience. Any other course leads to agita- ton for public ownership.

FARM COOPERATION GROWS

Fifty-four of the sixty-seven counties of Alabama have completed organization of county farm bureaus. This is the same as to say that these counties have placed them selves in position to reap the benefits of the cooperative marketing system. These ben efits have already proven themselves in the persistent advance of cotton prices this sea- son. Cotton has not sustained single set back There have been no fluctuations of 8 character to encourage speculation. The buyers have been reasonably firm and served to stay unhealthy advances, but the power of cooperative marketing of warehoused and insured cotton on which the producer can borrow money has made itself felt from early August, and it is still felt. Similar success has attended marketing of other crops There is no mystery about co-opera- tive marketing on a warehousing and insur- ance plan. Cooperation imparts the strength of all to each producer in dealing with the buyers, while warehousing and insuring en- able the producer to use his yield as a real security. It is business pure and simple, and business pays on the farm as well as any where else. Alabama has begun to enjoy a real agricultural prosperity because her pro- ducers have organized and present solid front to the markets of the country.

THE LEAGUE AND MOSUL

Hialmar Granting announces that the council of the League of Nations twill ac- cept the mission to .arbitrate the Mosul dis pute.' The council would thus show a com mendable spirit of accommodation; but in order to act as arbitrator, it is necessary to court. Great Britain is member of the league, but Turkey is not. If Turkey re- fused to answer 8 summons there would be no technical way of forcing her to comply.
