Locking to the Lcaeu.
(Atlanta Journal)

It is much to be hoped that the League of Nations, of which Italy and Greece both are members, will use it's best offices to prevent further entan- elements. Mussolini, in seizing the o. casion to heighten his prestige at home, has but acted in character and as any other political leader of his type probably would have done. Nor is it more than natural that the Italian peo- pie, regarding the Greeks as their rivals in the Adriatic and adjacent wa ters, should thrill to their premier's thunder. But the world today is in far too ticklish and brittle state for any risk of another great war to be incurred. International opinion should and doubtless will, do its utmost to maintain peace.

UNpERwooD's GETTING
(Nashville Banner)

(NaSnVllIe 6dnneIJ
 The senator from Alabama, who was the city's guest, sharing the honor with Peabody College, must have really been. as he declared himself, highly gratified with the reception accorded him. He was greeted, handshaken, listened to and applapded by splendid au- diences. His fame as great party leader and as a broad-msnded statesman had been so definitely fixed that the greeting could not have been otherwise than cordial. It went further. however; 1t was enthusiastic. To which of the sev- eral aspirants for the presidential nomination Democrats of Tennes- see will give their approval is not known. Many things may happen Between this time and the date of the national convention. Certain 1t is, however, MT. Underwood has a very positive strength in the state, with every likelihood of be- coming its preference. He knows us better and we know him better as result of his visit and both are fortunate that it was made.

THE OPTIMIST

(In defense of the Society of Prac-
 tical Psychology.) O unctuous Poilyanna! o champion of credulity! Your stupidity Is exceeded Only by your intolerance, And your fanaticism Only by your bigotry. Your vicious tirade Against all who do not wear Your protective smirk. Is riminiscent of him Who found relief for paralysis In having his wife Bound, hand and foot. When will you learn that Irreligion may. be a religion. And that he who does not share Your obvious fear of life Or the enigma of death Should not be despised As an infidel? Blah.

Peace Uncertain Thing
(Chattanooga Timesl


 Italy, it will be remembered, is very much stronger than Greece, hence the naughty and somewhat truculert de- mands made on the little fellow" But it would seem that diplomatic correspondence of friendly character might have been indrlged and thereby the gentle ideals of peace and concil. iation encouraged. But 'grim-visaged war" doesn't seem to be disposed to Smooth his wrinkled front" whenever an opportunity affords for showing it "unwrinkled," and so this German esque twenty-four-hour ultimatum is dispatched for frightening the Greek into immediate compliance. There'll be no war, of course, but the incident indicates that peace is an uncertain commodity among the distraught peo- pie of Europe.

Fertilizer Crona

(Crenshaw County News)
 This years experience with fer tilizers has put farmers to think ing of plans to prevent the high expense of fertilizers another year. Experience has shown that the extensive planting of legumes and cover crops will relieve the farmer of much expense in buying fertilizers. Many farmers are pre- pairing now to plant crops that will aid in fertilization next year, a move in the right direction which 1t is hoped will become uni versal. Plant cover crops and see the result next year.

Farewell, Labor Agents (AnniStOn Starl

LThe activities of the labor agents have been a serious handi- zap to farm owners and manufac- . turers in this state and often has created shortage of labor at home which would curtail the out put and cause much inconvenience. But the activities of the agents did very much greater harm to the workers themselves. They gave up certainty for the mere prom ise of better things, and invariably they found that the promise was a false one.

The Tax Puzzle
lMontgomery Times)

The great deficiency between income and expenditures as fig ured out by the bddget commis- sion makes it evident that ex- penses are to be reduced. and the policy of cutting to the bone very soon put into practice, or else there will have to be more taxes levied, and yet the slogan of the campaign last year was economy and reform in the expenses of the government. What to tax and how to tax to fool the people is the worry of those in power.
