The Lease System Again
(Cullman Tribune)

Just what will be the final end of the state convict lease system has many guessing. Unquestion- ably there will be big room for improvement. Only Wednesday a report from the national organi- zation of prison reform published through the daily press dispatches said the conditions found in the Alabama prisons were the worst allowed to exist In any state of the United States. Is it any won der many prominent citizens of the state have been working SO hard for the abolishing If the lease system in Alabama thal hangs around the neck of ake citizenship of our state.

No Easy Job (Boaz Leaderl

A member of the legislature, without previous political expe- rience, has no easy job. Between propaganda and petitions from paid agents and attorneys. and a paid insistent lobby that dogs his footsteps in the halls of legisla- ton; and the wishes and the in- terests of an honest electorate re- maining silently at home. the hon. est but Inexperienced legislator has a hard time deciding.

ONE TRICK A DAY
The Elusive Candle

This Is very much like the Halloween diversion of ducking for apples, but much more fun, as there is system to the success of 1t. The young folks are ranged around a tub of water in which piece of candle is floating; and prize Is offered to> him who, with out touching the tub with hls hands, will remove the candle from the water by his mouth alone. The novice in vein plunges and replunges after the floating object It escapes him every time, and rises in another place farther off, as if mocking him; and there he stands after every plunge, dripping with water, foiled in all his efforts, and affording more amusement to the onlookers than he had intended. Here is the way to succeed. Bring your mouth as close as possible to the candle or the india-rubber. and inhale it with your breath while seizing 1t with your lips. The inhalation of breath will keep the object floating away, and enable you to seize 1t without difficulty.

 Education Is making progress in Alabama, not alone through bond issues by communities and cities for additional school buildings and equipment. or legislative assist ance to the schools. The parents of Alabama children and the older boys and girls of the state them- selves are aroused to the neces- sity for educational training to make successful men and women, and they are giving an impetus to educational progress which may well be expected to push it for ward as it has never before been pushed

A word of Commendntion

A Word of COmmendat1Ou To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 A word of commendation in life Is worth more than the flowers on our bosom that we do not see or know, when we have gone hence Allow me to extend congratula- tions on the campaign you have waged in the interest of the peo- pie of Alabama for reasonable and needed legislation. It Is en- couraglng, nevertheless, to find champion of the -Herald's abil- ity combating the propaganda Of those trucking to the Interests that are,known for which they are able and willing to pay liberally. The freedom of the press was no doubt wise at the time the great minds framed that wonderful in strument, the constitution3 but In a large measure isn't "Swinner- ton" in the comic sheet, applt- cable to today? A reading public is all right, but a thinking, an- alytical public is more essential. The courage to criticise those you supported for political office, or other servants of the state, who seem to think they are beyond the pale, creates hope in the breast of the despairing. You have told them, in very commendable manner, what they are and what they are not, but you are certain lS in error as to Ex-Governor Kilby not increasing taxes. This, however, applies to every admin istration for twenty years or more, notwithstanding the enor- nous addition to wealth of the state each year. Right is might" I wish you we'll in task you have set about.
 J. M. ROBERTSON Selma, Ala, Sept. 24. 1923.
 The Age Herald has not held that Mir. Kilby did not increase taxes, but that he did not increase the tax rates. He enforced the laws. which in itself has the ef- feet of increasing the revenues. The Age-Herald appreciates the sentiment expressed by MT. Rob ertson.-Editor Age-Herald.
