 Keep EvorlastingIy at Elm. No law is enforced as strictly as 1t might be. Murders are committed and murderers often go free. People steal, and steal again, and escape nm ishment. Many murderers are tried, convicted and executed. Many thieves are sent to prison, 7 but still murders are committed and thefts are frequent. The beat that can be done with law enforcement is to keep everlastinRly after the law-breakera and catch and punish so many of them that others will be de- tered from risking violations. -Anniston Star. , s

How in the name of a Rrieved tax-paying public can they possibly excnae the eighteen months delay that they have forced on the people of this district. Every now and then they break out with promises of early completion. but the people now de- mand action and not words. We want to see that underpass completed at once.--SAef. field Standard.
 Wants the Bonds Scld.-It is matter of no little concern when we realise that our clty nas on hanq $lOUsUU0 worth of school improvement bonds and that the next session of school is not five months away. These bonds are for sale. To our way of thinking, if satisfactory bids are not forth coming from the regular bond buyers, 1t might not be bad idea to offer them for popular subscription. It is just as inpors tant to have adequate schools as it is to have adequate hospital facilities. We are for both institutions. Huntsville Times.
