  Republican campaign committee to be fair to the Republican party and to feature Repub- lican news in our columns as literally as our policy will permit.

 Don't Be A Road Hog,"-There are some people that drive automobiles on the public roads that seem to think they have lease on the road, and take it all. It doesn't make any difference who you are, you have only a right to half the road. The other fellow has a right to the other half. The writer has had some experiences lately with some birds" who would open up their cars to a high speed just at the time to pass another car, and would stay in the middle of the road. On account of his high speed, the other fellow would pull out into the ditch and let him by, rather than take a chance on being hit or badly injured. Don't be a hog be human, if you can, when you are driving a car on the public roads.-Moundville News.
 
 Editor Stanley Felicitated.-Editor J. B. Stanley of the Greenville Advocate, announces his attainment of the sixtieth milestone in the publication of his paper, and it is a record unique in the annals of journalism.

There can be no more precious asset or more val uable heritage than than such a record of probity and faith kept with one's community. Selma Times-Journal.E
 Difficulty Lies With .Officials-Birming- ham is threatening to overthrow its commis- sion form of government. It isn't getting re- suits. City finances are still in bad way. We apprehend that the difficulty lies with the officials and not the form of government. Almost any system of government is alright when administered in the interest of the peo- pie. But some systems give dishonesty bet tenn may have its defects but it is surely a long way ahead of the old aldermanic form which fostered all kinds of official rotten ness. Efficiency is only to be found in mak- ing a democratic regime just as nearly auto cratic as it can be and yet retain the final power in the hands of the people. Concentra- tion of power and responsibility is the an- swer.-Muscle Shoals Sunday News.
