BUTLER GETS THE JOB.

In appointing MT. William M. Butler to the vacancy in the senate caused by the death of Senator Lodge, the governor of Massachusetts paid Republican po- litical debt that would otherwise have been liquidated by a cabinet post, accord ing to Washington belief. MT. Butler, as chairman of the national campaign com mittee, doubtless feels entitled to such recompense.
 The prospect of MT. Butler as the presi- dents spokesman in the senate is not promissory of that harmony between the White House and the senate which the situation so sorely needs. For, while there was antagonism between the presi- dent and Lodge, it is also feared that Butle'', lack of tact forebodes equally difficult arrangements for the future. It is hoped, either that the stories of But lers capacity to alienate sympathzers are unfounded, or that some offsettipg influence will be created to permit fhe

Irregulars Rebuked

The Birmingham Age-Herald draws les son from the recent election to the effect that the people of the country have shown that they do not take kindly to "irregulars" or in dependents in politics especially those who base their claims to political preferment upon antagonism to the established order of things and who advocate radical and revolutionary measures.
 The people demonstrated, in the presidential election, that they prefer to adhere to old party lines, no matter how unsatisfactory the candidates or policies of the old parties may be. In the present instance, while there was a noticeable movement from the Democratic to the Republican side, there was no appre- ciable drift to the third party.
 Although there has been much talk of a realignment of parties before 1928, all indi- cations point to the conclusion that the next presidential campaign will find the Republic ans and Democrats again fighting the battle. If there is a third party, it doubtless will make no better showing than did the LaFol- lette candidacy this year.-Tampa Tribune.

REALTORS AND SQUARE DEALING.

There will be public approval of the real estate boards purpose of discourag- ing wildcat advertising and questionable realty promotion schemes, particularly those of highly speculative nature. There is legitimate speculation and there is speculation which takes advan- tage of popular credulity or inexperience to work off an inferior article. The board will approve only legitimate meth ods of selling and developing real estate. This policy is based, not only on regard for the public, but also on the instinct of self-defense. A few interruptions deal CTS can throw reproach upon the entire real estate business, which would be both unjust and unfortunate.
 Birmingham's growth has been conspic- uously fostered by commendable enter prise among the real estate dealers. The growth is sufficient to enable all honest dealers to win their share of the profit able business. The growth, based as it is on the city's expansion, is healthy and permanent. There is every reason for discouraging interruptions methods, for land is an ultimate asset, fundamental to all other wealth. A building lot should be as unquestionable an asset as money in. the bank.

Discusses Cotton Marketing.

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 We have reached crisis in the marketing of cotton. While failure to obtain cost of production is driving millions of farmers from their farms, and wages of textile work CTS keeps them only a few days from the bread line; the cost of cotton goods and clothing mounts high to consumers. Stock gambling, speculation and pro1iteerlng COIL tinue in full sway.
 There is but one means of permanent re- lief The state of Alabama and other cot ton states must protect the people from the Shylocks. who have seized control of the mar kets of cotton and cotton products; and are manipulating them to the injury of all the people.
 Each state should furnish the capital to nroyide for the erection of sufficient mills to manufacture it's cotton and cotton seed into finished products. They should purchase lm- mediately those mills already in operation at a price to the owners, that would compensate them for the physical value of their equlp- ment.
 The state should furnish the capital neces- sary to pay the farmers, for thelr cotton ana cotton seed, a fair price, fixed each year ana based upon the cost of production ana also sufficient capital to finance all laDor ana other costs of manufacturing and marketing
 
 The price of cotton and cotton seed shoulu be fixed in the following manner.
 All the farmers of, the state should meet at their schools and average the cost of produc- tion for their school districts. Each school district should send delegates to the court house to take the average cost of production for the county. The county conventions should send representatives to the capitol or other convenient point, who should estimate the average cost of production for the state.
 Upon this basis the state fair price com trittee should fix the price every farmer should receive upon delivery of his cotton.
 The farmers should also be given recelpts for amount and grades of cotton so delivered to enable them to share in the profits rom the sales of the finished products.
 The prices fixed upon the flnlshed proo- ucts to consumers should be suttlclent 10 re- nav the state the amounts advanced to the farmers and all labor and other costs oi manufacturing and marketing.
 All profits should be distributed equally De- tween the farmers, expert splnhers anu "ea'- CTS and all other labor.
 The operation of the mills and marketing of the manufactured goods should be under +he control and direction of a fair price com mittee. consisting of the governor, secretary of state commissioner of agriculture ana al least three actual farmers and three expert spinners and weavers.
 Consumers would obtain their cotton goods at cost from cotton fields to them farmers and textile workers would receive tair ana prices, and almost daily violent in prices would end l'ue D'' '-'''O w. c. IRBY.

ONE GRATIFYING RESULT

One of the most gratifying results of the national election to thoughtful men and women was the heavy defeat of ire sponsible radicalism as grouped under ] the third-party banner. The contest demonstrated that there are compara- 'kively few of the American people who Bubscribe to the extreme views or attach Importance to the leadership of LaFol-
 ette. On the question of fundamentals
 the American people as a whole are
 sound. They put little faith in the the pry that the way to change the faults
 bf the existing order of things is to de-
 Etroy the entire system. There IS no
 desire in this country to develop classes Shnd distinctions which exist in coun-
 tries where the masses have no means of
 political expression. That is where La- Toilette made one great blunder. He Yurdertook to show that European pro- lletarianism has place on American soil a The Wisconsin senator tried hard to Ilcapitalize discontent. He assumed that
 he farmers were much more dissatisfied Khan they were. He imagined that the wage-earner's vote could be delivered largely in bulk. He appealed to farmers on the one side by advocating a heavy reduction in transportation rates, and to <AdllI Odu Oy NSPONoAIi6 iASoNS AAA Meases in railroad wages, as if the incon- sistency would not be comprehended by any thoughtful farmer or railroad work CT. He assumed that there was labor vote, farmer vote, racial vote, in word, a class vote, which did not ma terialize for the reason that it does not exist, because it is not necessary to the political expression of any so-called class. Every intelligent American knows that he cannot advance his own interests by destroying those of his fellow citizens and of his country. If the American cit izen has reason to believe that he has suf- fcred from the operation of laws or from their failure to function, there are eff fective remedies without attacking es- tablished institutions on which the wei fare of the country depends.
 LaFollette did what many demagogue before him has done. He assumed that Itbs electorate was ignorant of political
