Speak for Yourself, John!

How well the above words, uttered many years ago, might be parophrased to say "Think for yourself, John"!
 Tel the average man on the street today that he doesn't use his grey natter for the purpose 1t was originally intended and he would be deeply insulted but nevertheless it is, to an enorm ous extent, only too true. How many times do you hear a man say Sure it's right. I saw it in the paperH. In other words it is bou nd to be right because someone else thought it all out and had it published.
 How easily is the mind of man swayed by the "honeyed" words dripping from the tongue ot the loquacious soap box orator. How readily does he gu'p at the half truth, which is worse than false hood, thrown at him by the thun dering politician seeking power from his ability to sway the unth mixing mind, anU the unfunction ing brain.
 Just so soon as man will startto r1aSon things out in a logical manner for himself, using the thoughts expressed by others as sign posts on the road of mental development, then he will find that he has ceased to be the dupe

of some self seeking individual who, when he has gained his ends, chuckles up his sleeve and thinks how easy" they were.
 Man is inclined to extremes and especially is this noticeable in politics. Having lined up with a party a man will stick to it thr ough everything; looking al the bait thrown out to him, he will, with one gulp swallow it hook line and sinker. No movement is without it's fundamental princip les for the betterment of mal kind. Every creed has it's roots in some good soil but how often does the growth decay. Ard just so soon as man learns to sift the good from the bad and force the rejection of the evil then will gov ernmental troub ubles cea~e and this is only possible when man learns to use his own mind instead of letting someone else use it for him.

THOUSANDS LOST
 IN WOODS FIRES
Extinction Threatens North Ala bama Game, Says Quinn
(State CapitaI Bureau

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 31.- Commissioner I. T. Quinn, of the depart ment of game and fisheries, returned to- day from a trip to northwest Alabama, where he spent some time visiting Walk CT, Fayette, Lamar and Marion coun- ties. He reports a fine crop of game of all kinds in that section of the state this season.
 ''The greatest menace to wild life at this season of the year," declared MT. Quinn, 'is woods fires. Fires not only destroys the protective cover of wild life but also destroys the food supply. The V Id life of northwest Alabama, over tens of thousands of acres, is in eminent danger of complete destruction on &C., count of the woods Aides. The good peo- pie of that territory are calling for help. I expect to take the matter up at once with the state forestry commission, and see if the forest fires there cannot be controlled.
 Ut is a shame the way young timber is being destroyed. During the past week I saw hardwood saplings, twelve to fifteen feet high absolutely dead. Lit orally, ten of thousands of dollars worth of timber has been dstroyed in northwest Alabama within the last thirty days.
 Il certainly hope the forestry com mission will be able to put forest rangers in that territory this year to prevent further destruction by fire to the future timber supply there"

NEW LAW POINT RAISED

The decision of the Alabama su- preme court affirming the $12,50O dam age against the Alabama Power com pany for the death of Ralph Jones, lS- year-old Rome, Ga. boy, is said by Gadsden lawyers to introduce new law point in this state. The boy was killed by wire belonging to a land company on Lookout mountain. The Alabama Power company merely fur nished the current. at wholesale price. The plaintiff insisted. the power com pany was responsible inasmuch it had been notified the wires of the land com pany were down and dangerous. The supreme court, it is said, has apparent ly adopted that point. The Power com pany insisted that it's responsibility ceased when the current left its line.
