One of, Cullman's Best Years.-In many respects the year now rapidly drawing to a close has been from the standpoint of growth one of the greatest in the history of Cullman. Permanent improvements along many lines testify to the above statement Cullman Tribune. < For New Passenger Station.-The railroads of the country appear to be in a most pros porous condition and, immediately after the first of the New Year, we move that active steps be taken to turn part of that prosperity into new and adequate passenger station for the city of Greater Huntsville.

 Bringing Men To tho Land.-Bringing the man to the land and making him a contented citizen who carries his end of the load in all the relations of life is the biggest problem with which most of our Southern agricultural communities are confronted and to solve it properly the best thought of our 'best mindss' may well be employed.-seltaa.

 Much To Be Proud Of.-Ashfand and Clay county people have much to. be proud of in these closing weeks of the year, much of which cannot be figured in dollars and cents.

 Fine Soil For Apples There is no reason AI.h IL "A IT Al. .-. apples the people of this state need and have ? enough left to ship in caFfoad lots to other states. The Alabama apple,e if the industry was developed, would command a sale in the East and North as great as the apples of Washington, Oregon, Virginia or New York, and more delicate in flavor than most of the fruit shipped out of other 7states.-Lnniston.

 Congressman Britten's BiH.-We reserve 4 the right to limit or prohibit immigration. Japan knows this now. Furthermore, we re- serve the right to maneuyer our battleships in our own waters. Japan, in time, will know this, too. Yet there is no reason why we should adopt a resolution such as the one proposed by Representative Britten. It is notice to the world that we believe we will have war with Japan. It is notice that we are doubtful of our own ability to protect ourselves in the event of war. Neither as- sumption is justified.-M6ntgomery Journal:
 As To Empty Political FEedges.-The voters ought long ago to have reached their political majority so that they could tell whether the pledges and professions of candidate for public office had value and meaning, although the record of some previous campaigns SUD- l port the conclusion that they possess no such faculty of discernment and judgment. When ever a politician lays down the broad pledge of economy and then follows it with mul- titude of proposals for the expenditure of the r public money, the craft on which he invites the people to ride is unseaworthy and should !. be condemned before it leaves port.-Gadsden Times. r
 Moving To Permanent Reace.-Within the past six years the world has progressed farther along the road to permanent peace and the establishment of international fraternity than in all preceding history. The League. of Nations, the World court, the Washington arms conference.-the was, ever done before comparable to these achieyements for improv- ing human relations? Senator Borah's idea is to create body of international law; to establish an independent tribunal for the adjudication of international disputes; to declare war, through this tribunal, an inter- national crime. Scrap all that has been &C., complished so far, largely with American aid, and start over again! That, with all due respect for the sincerity of Senator Borah's motives, is asking too much, for it is i'm. racticable-Mobile Register.
