Many Will Take Chances.-Specialist now say the air of congress is very bad, and something should he done to prevent the shortening of mems lives for breathing it. We'll, there will be plenty of volunteers to try it out. and to ask increased salaries for the risks incurred.-Talladega Daily Home. Sharing The Disgrace.-There may be Americans who feel they have no part and no responsibility in the disgraceful time through which the nation is now passing, but all Americans in a measure share in the disgrace that has come in, connection with the present "wickedness in high places. Albany. Decatur Daily. i,f
 The Right Start Important-will this year bring to the farmers of this section prosperity or chaotic disappointment? Much depends ergy and industry put forth The future alone can bring out the result in full, but that result cannot be what it should be un. less the right effort is made The right start is of prime importances shland Progress.
 An Opportunity For Seevice.-An excep- tional opportunity for real service is offered the community leaders who were recently appointed apportioners for road work in the county. Upon these men depends, to a large extent, the result of the movement for better roads for Lauderdale county, as they and
 
 charge of the actual road work in; their re- spective districts.-Florence Herald.
 , Should Be CautiOus.-Strangers selling used cars at very low figures should be inc vestigated. at least, before purchase is made. They should be made to give, beyond all question of a doubt, clean bill of health, and to show that they have come by the cars honestly. This applies, not only to cars, but to many other articles. Stolen articles may be purchased at lower price, but i'll the event the real owner appears, trouble is sure to follow, even though the purchaser be innocent in the transaction.-- Gadsden Journal
 Can Anybody Tell?-The ex-service men can't understand how it is that congress can talk about cancelling the war debt Flu. ropean countries owe the United States, how they have paid the railroads and all others. that claimed deficit because of war con- tracts, but cannot pay them their deficit after they forsook mothers, fathers wives, children, sisters. sweethearts and friends and their own business, school rooms and even sacrificed thousands of their comrades on the battlefield of slaughter. We've been asked to explain, but we confess we were stumped. Can somebody tell them ?-Florala News. s{i
 There Should Be Consideration. on.-Louis- jana doesn't want Cohen to be comptroller of customs and the South doesn't want him. In making political appointment some con- sideration should be given by the appoint ing authority to those who are to be served by the appointees. The people of the South do not object to Republican holding this position. But they do believe their views on racial issues should receive some con sideration. The president can find Re- publican who has the'ability to fill the posi-. tion and who can obtain the cooperation of Southern people in the work devolving upon him..MOntgomery Journal N'
 Need To Get Tosether.-One of the causes underlying the lack of prosperity which farmers and business men are experiencing at the present time is the failure of these two classes to get together in some form of cooperation. As long as each one stands alOOf and tries to fight out his own prob lems alone. each without the other, so long will there be feeling of jealousy or lack of sympathy between them: and so long will each suffer as a result. There is very little real cause for complaint of either class against the other, it is more a lack of initia. tive on the part of each of them than any thing else perhaps that there is any division of interest between them.
