UNWISE TO SELL
(Guntersvil,e Damocr..


 Fridays Age-Herald had a col- umn of adverse comment on the sale of certain power site to the Alabama Power Company. This site Is presumably on the Coosa river and brought the state $100.- 900, and The Herald deplores the fact that the state had made an industrial corporation title to the property. If the state contem- plated developing the power, or if 1t had any prospects of such de- veiopment, it was certainly un- wise to sell. But if the power was to remain latent just to Keep some one else from putting it to work, the sale was, in our opinion, en- tirely .1ustifiable and proper. We have lived up to our motto, Here We Rest" too long already.

Average Citizens Influence

NbIHHuOn IImeSJ
 The city officials do not make the city. They may by their con- duct of public affairs be of great benefit to the progress of the city, or they may on the other hand re- tard its progress. But after all 1t is the citizens who make the city what 1t is. The city never rises above the average citizen. Not the worst. nor the best. but the average citizen determines what this city Is and Is to become.

It seems that on several occasions of late the sun has broken loose from the weatherman's control and wasted considerable brightness before the curtain was drawn again.
 We presume that much should be forgiven the weatherman during this holiday season, when many otherwise estimable citizens become more or less irresponsible.
 After the First, however, we trust that the weatherman will resume con- trol of the weather and prevent waste of sunshine during this gloomy period. Sunshine should be saved for the summer when it can do some good.

Citizens Should Help

Law enforcement depends, not only on efficient and active off cers, but on the willingness of the people to aid in its enforcement. The citizen who knows of a par ticular instance where the law is violated. and refuses to give the officers of the law the facts, has no right to complain of the fail- ure of law enforcement. The peo- pie rule is the theory of the eov- ernment, and unless tho people come up to the full standard of duty in the matter of law enforce ment, 1t wirtbe difficult to punish violators of the law.
