TERM FOR POLITICAL CUNNING
italian Genius Gave Name TO What
Might BE Called unscrupuious
statssr,anship.

"Machiavellian" Is a term for po-
litical cunning. dupiicity or bad faith.
because Niccolo Machiaveili, an Ital-
ian statesman and historian, held a.
one Of his principles that any means.
however lawless or INSCRIPTIONS,
might be justihably employed by
ruler In order to maintain a strong
central government. He produced
among other works a treatise on gov
eminent called The Prince" the prin-
ciples Of which have gained for him a
notoriety as wide as the civilized
world.
Briefly. Machiaveill's political doc.
trines maintained justification OF the
means by the end. The ruler or prince
was to retain and augment his power
and to do so he might be an adept at
misleading his opponents and getting
rid Of them. The interests Of the state.
represented by the ruler. were held to
be above all laws or virtues, and the
despotism Of the prince was to be
maintained by cunning and unre-
strained by morality.

MEXICO TO FIGpT lLLITERAcY
Country VIII spsnd MiIiions to Extend

School system.

Jose vasconceios. the head Of the
bureau OF education Of the Mexican
government. has finished q survey OF
the country with regard to the ability
Of the people to read and write. II
was shown by a careful census that In
some states more than 90 per cent Of
the population can neither read nor
write.
nliteracy Is more prevalent In south
ern and southeastern Mexico than In
the more northern part OF the country.
Far more people can read and write In
the states bordering the United States
than In the ones farther South. This
fact Is thought to be due to the educa-
tional influence OF the neighboring
Americans. Taking Mexico as whole
about 80 per cent OF the people are
illiterate. according to Mr.. vasconcelos
During 1922 nearly sixty thousand
persons were instructed by the bureau
Of education In reading and writing
alone. Ninety per cent OF them were
adults, according to figures announced
by Mr.. vasconceios. Construction Of
eight thousand elementary schools.
which will involve a cost Of more than
$4,000 900 when complete. Is under way.
The schools are to be finished within

THE LOCAL PAPER AND
COMMUNITY PROGRESS
BY John +. Cunningham, Presi'
dent Of Wisconsin Agricultur.
ist, Racine, Wis, in Nation.
al Printer Journalist.

There is clear and definite
line Of work for the local news
paper. whether it be a daily,
semi-weekly or weekly. From
no other source can the intimate
personal and business news of
the small town community be OBJ
tanned.
There was a period during
which the small town newspaper
seemed to be smothered under
the increasing circulation of the
city dailies. The city daily does
not and cannot devote space TO
matters of immediate interest to
the small town and the surround
ing country. We may say there
fore. that while in the great wall
of news that confront us from
day to day. the large stones and
bricks will always be furnished
by the city dailies. through the
various news services that cover
the entire world. the chinks and
cement will ever be furnished by
the local, country papers news
from nearby. the intimate heart
throbs that come from the local
business, social. civic and home
activities.
Every town owes it to itself
to encourage a good, enterprising
wide awake progressive newspa-
per. Such publications are worth
far more to the town than the
town usually realizes. BY sup
porting. | mean not only SUBJ
scribing to the paper and reading
it, but also helping it to get the
news, by using it as a medium of
public discussion and by patron
izing its advertising columns.
In too many instances the good
local paper is taken as a matter
of course-about as we consider
the act of eating when meal
time comes.
But the town which has no
medium of local news or for the
expression of local opinion is a
barren spot indeed. God pity it!
What community progress can be
made with no vehicle Of local
publicity? What community
ideals and heart can be promoted
or maintained with no regular
and dependable organ TO voice
them? What community SYM
patty and fellowship can be de-
veloped where there is no clear
ing house for the heart-where
there is no common parkway
where the myriad hopes and dis
couragements, joys and heart
aches, successes and disasters
may be brought together and
blended into that intangible,
though very real, thing or sub
stance that we call community
Esprit?
Every community feels the
need for a good. level headed

.HEFLIN CHECKS OUT FOR SHELBY FARM
Popular Traffic Officer Leaves Post
 At Third And Twentieth Street

Exchanging his traffic baton for the gas accellerator on tractor, one of Birmingham most popular policemen has handed in his resig- nation, J. W. Heflin. monarch of all traffic at Twentieth street and Thlr4 avenue, will leave the bright cor ner of the business district on Au- gust 15.
 MT. Heflin joined the police force July 16, 1918, and, though not one of the oldest members, either in years or service, has, by his unfail- ing courtesy, attention to duty and efficiency, made for himself, Com missioner w. B. Cloe says, a place to be envied not only on the force, out in the esteem of the citizens.
 A farm Is what has caused him to resign. The buzzing traffic of the lively corner has turned his thoughts toward pastoral scenes, and when he took brief trip to Shelby county and saw a 200-acre farm near Colum- biana that just suited him, he closed for the property and now is it's owner.
 Of course, the other members of the police depart rtment have started kidding MT. Hef!in about the combi- nation of farm and Shelby county, especially with a good market for corn reported, but MT. Heflin plans to fight the boil weevil instead of fliver chaperones and Is taking the chaffing good naturedly. Chief Fred A. McDuff says he will lose one of the most highly valued members of his force.
