he emphatically declares that he does not seek it, and adds that he has never aspired to be president. .... .
 The Democratic opportunity was never more bright. Therefore it is of the ut most importance that no mistake be made :n the most vital decision of all, namely, as to the party's candidate. Sen- ator Ralston has set a good example. There are others who might follow it in the interest of the party. There arc two or three outstanding possibilities. With one of these the party can win. There would be no wisdom in endanger- ing success by looking at the situation with clouded vision. The delegations have not only sectional but a party obligation; they have not only state but a national responsibility. They would do we'll to regard all candidates in the light of their national service and national outlook. It is on that basis that Alabama offers Oscar Underwood with such confidence.

are kept in travelable condition at all times. It is we'll understood by the peo- pie of Tuscaloosa county that those types of road give the biggest return on the money which will sustain the heaviest traffic with the least expense for care and upkeep. Tuscaloosa coun- tvs example is one which other coun- ties can well afford to follow. The rise in property and tax values almost im- mediateiy attendant on the construction Of paved roads is the most obvious re- suit, and in itself is worth while. But this result Is small compared to relief from the invisible tax that Is inseparable from poor roads, the reduced cost of travel and transportation, the, increase in population, the stimulation of enter prise, the expansion of business and in- dustry, and the educational and social values that are not easily to be com puted in dollars and cents. Suffice it to say that the benefits of paved roads or good roads sufficient for the travel upon them are ten and twenty times the cost. No county is too poor to have good roads, and many a county is poor because it does not have them.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PHGRIM

It looks to be as though Barber Brown is mighty near being heretic. He is talking the most reactionary and out-dated sort of talk. Actually says that he thinks whoever it was who wrote the Bible knows more about how to bring up children than does Mrs. Polly Prattle, the president of the Make Your Home Softer League.
 Spare the rod" says Barber Brown, land you'll ruin a child. You sure will.''
 On Browns street there are nine houses in which there are children, he says. In eight of them there are radios, automatic pianos, talking machines and mortgages. The girls wear about as much clothes as the South Sea Islanders did after they learned from the missionaries just how funny clothes can be- The boys drive red runabouts, which are for the most part elaborate superstruc- lures on Ford foundations.
 There is only one mother in the nine houses who is called 'Mother,," says Brown. ''The rest of lem are Mamma or Mater or Old Dear or The Ancestress. In some of the eight houses the kids call their fathers and mothers by their first names, as though they were friends instead of progenitors.
 Brown is a sad, disheartened, cynical old man. He says the only children on the street that are worth the powder to blow them to -, we'll, to blow them-are those in the ninth house where there is a mother. In that house, likewise, is father who upon occasion has used his gad. The girls in that house do not stay out too late at night. They do not wooze around on the front porch after midnight in betting parties with half-baked youngsters from the other side of town. The boys in that house are making good. .,
 "In the eight houses," says Brown, there has been one suicide, one nasty and unwel- come marriage, one mysterious runaway, one shortage, a good deal of synthetic gin and no happy parents.

CLEARING CRIMINAL DOCKETs

Disposition of forty-seven cases by the criminal division of the circuit court Tn one day, carrying the record of the number of cases disposed of in four days to two hundred, is a step forward in law enforcement. It is true that many of these cases were appealed from the city police court and involved misdemean- DTS. But clearing the dockets by throw ing out old cases in which there is little or no prospect of conviction because of delays, disappearances of witnesses and other conditions which developed through failure promptly to try cases, will be beneficial by making it possible / , catch up with the dockets and get Fllown to current business.
 Congestion of court dockets through inability to try cases under a system which permits appeals for the very pur- poses it were well to prevent, not only prevents carrying out the intent and pur- pose of the law, but actually encourages disregard for law. There is nothing that will prevent violation of the law more surely than prompt trials and certain punishment where guilt is established
 It has been demonstrated that court dockets can be rapidly cleared and room made for prompt trials. Better that this be done by the present process of throw ing out cases where proof of guilt is very difficult, if rot impossible, than that the dockets should be permitted to accumulate to such extent as to defeat, rather than to advance, the purpose of the law and the courts.
 Many infractions of the law have been the result of delays in administration of justice. Many a potential law-breaker takes chances under such conditions, who would go slow in violating the law if he knew that the dockets were so purged of difficult and impossible cases that he would be promptly tried with lively prospects of conviction. Hence the ben efits of taking new start and providing for euture efficiency in court trials, even though it be at the sacrifice of letting many old violators go free.

Is There 4 Worry Cure
Most people Worry.
By JOHN CARLYLE

NOSC people worry.
 Some worry a great deal more than others Some worry so much of the time and about so many things that they make their lives miserable and add a great deal of pain to the lives of those near them.
 Many cures for the habit of. worry have been suggested Many have tried and many have failed. It has been said to you and me many times
 Just be optimistic and think everything is going to be all right. Others have said Cure yourself by will power-and so on.
 Most of the suggested aides are like patent medicine. Because of the alcohol in patent medicine it makes you feel better for little while, but it does you no permanent good. l, Speaking not out of copy books but out of experience and out of life, may say that in my opinion:
 The only lasting cure for worry is to get it into your head once and for all time that in whatever situation you are, or whatever you have to face, you are going ito do the best you know how.
 Then see that you do this "best that you know how" whether it is a big thing or a little thing.
 Once you have finally and absolutely de. cided upon that course-and have begun to practice it-you will have won the fight to put an end to worry.
 we CdHHoL dIWdyS remove Cne cause TOT worry. The cold, hard circumstance may be there. But when we have definitely made up our minds on a policy, when we have definitely made up our minds to do the best we know, whatever the circumstances, there comes peace of mind.
 And isn't peace of mind the great earthly good that we are all forever seeking?
 Then, curiously, this is true: When we put with our decision a constant faith and constant hope, either the circumstances ad- just themselves or we adjust ourselves to the circumstances until peace of mind be. comes q permanent state.
 So much for worry and the cure for worry The chief thing to remember then, in our consideration of worry, is that we cannot flee from it and escape it. We cannot deny its presence. But we can adopt a con structive policy for our life and behavior that simply eliminates worry's power

Exaggratio11 Ir1 Art
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The artist is not only to be true to nature. he must be more than true. He IS to bring out clearly what nature ex- presses confusedly. He is to interpret life. Hence he is to magnify and emphasize cer- tain truths of life. If he depicts life precisely as it is he has no meaning. He is as obscure as life itself. He is mere copyist We get nothing from hlm we can not better get from life at first hand.
 In all great works of art you perceive this magnifying trait. In Homer, the first and in many respects the greatest piece of lit- erary art, everything is exaggerated The men are huge in size, beautiful as gods and strong as liOns. If they eat,' says Charles Albert, ''it is whole beeyes and entire sheen. If they weep, the sand all about them is wet with their tears."v | When the Homeric army marches, "it rolls, says the 1liad, lover the earth as conflagration, and the ground bellows as when Jupiter the Thunderer smites it with bolt" @
 There never was any such heroes nor hordes in Greece. Neither were there such models of feminine and youthful grace as ia represented in Greek statuary. | Taine points out that there never existed in Italy such real men as those shown in Michael Angelo's tomb of the Medicis; nor were there in Flanders such forms as those portrayed in the paintings of Rubens. The characters of Dickens and Balzac seem overdrawn, almost to the point of carica- ture.
 Oscar Vile whimsically observed that na- ture did not know how to make her sunsets and handle her lights and shades until Fur ner taught her.
 l glance at the undying creations of paint ing, sculpture, literature, and music will con- vince us that certain exaggeration is in- herent in them all.
 We note the same characteristic in Jesus {: how He constantly seemed to overemphasize moral duties. His precepts about self-sac- rifice, non resistance, purity, and love appear unattainable.
 But it is precisely for this reason that they have gripped humanity.
 The exact, accurate, and carefully guarded statement in letters, or expression in the plastic arts is not art, it is science.
 And science does not inspire. It instructs.
 Science is the father of doubts, because it discovers and reproduces things as they are, and they are essentially mysterious and com plex. .r
 Art inspires; it is the father of faith. It turns it's magnifying lens upon this or that single truth, and by increasing it's appear ance out of proportion gives us something to believe.
 Science is not irreligious but it is non religious. No religion is ever born of it. For its magnifying glasses see only microbes, not spiritual facts. It is the painter, poet, sculptor, rOmancist and architect-in word it is the artist who is brother to the re- ligionist.
 For the artist, as the prophet, must, to quote again from Charles Albert, awaken tthat exaltation, that enthusiasm of life, that taste for the sublime and the beautiful and the ideal, which truly leautlfdl WOgks alwaya cause to be born iA ua.e

RESPECTING VICE PRESIDENCY

There is growing disposition among political leaders to place more emphasis than formerly upon the selection of a capable man for the vice-presidential nomination. Vice presidents have a habit of becoming presidents, and it would be embarrassing indeed to have some time totally unfit vice president to succeed to the highest office. In line with this new view of the potential inn portance of the office the Republicans are now contemplating the slating of Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, for this position. Besides be- ing regular party man, MT. Lowden has the further distinction of having been among those most prominently sup ported to head the party ticket in 1920. That he appears willing to accept the secondary place after having aspired to the first is indication that he regards the vice presidency with more respect than was formerly accorded it. If. MT. Lowden is selected, the choice will elim- mate General Dawes and Secretary Hoover, both of whom have been widely discussed and both of whom are able men,

Brief Nature Studies
By !. OTIS SWIFT

Fish-hawks maintaining nests of sticks in tops of trees at Shark Hills, near Belmar, N- J.. allow other birds to construct homes in the mass All live happily together. be- cause the hawks do not eat small birds Human beings. having a higher law for themselves. ordinarily live happily with their neighbOrs for the same reason; they neither want to eat their neighbOrs, .hor anything they possess But they soon find that liv- ing successfully on a plane above that of animals requires, to accomplish happiness, the living up to certain spiritual laws.
 One is not to cOvet anything that is ones neighbOr's- Others are to return good for evil: to do unto a neighbor to offend Mental health and to eat no meat that causes a neighbOr to offend. Mental health following eating no meat that causes a neighbor to offend preserves an equanimity of tempera- ment that smOOtheS over small neighborhood causes of unrest because it takes two to make q quarrel.
 All these moral. laws are stepping stones of humanity, the stairs by which we mount above the rest of preying nature, and when we slip on a step we plunge back, showing how close we are to those still red in tooth and claw"

Bide DudIey's Rhymes
The Old Cradle

We've got it upstairs in the room where we sleep. It stands in a corner alone. It's rather old-fashioned and shiny and cheap and yet of the things that we own, there's nothing to us quite so near and so dear as that little cradle up there. It brings back the days when a youngster was here-the days which to us were most fair. The little soft pillow is still in its place, awaiting a baby's return, and so is the coverlet, fringed with old lace, reviving the mem'ries that burn. It creaks when it rocks as it did years ago when there was a baby inside, and mother and I, as it sways to and fro, have feelings we never could hide. In evry- ones life there's a void of some kind that brings to the heart wee ache. It's always a picture tbat sticks in his mind and keeps an old sorrow awake. But often a some thing-there's no telling what-remains as comforting ghost. Our something's the cradle that once held tot we lost when we needed him most.

William c. Clark: "A question has arisen concerning the grammatical correctness of the following motion picture subtitle: But if you look closely, you will see the match stick come alive
 ''The question at issue is whether the verb come is properly used. The scene that the subtitle was intended to describe showed in closeup the caddie worm, which had hith- erto been still, beginning to move" The sentence is correct Come is an infini- tive, minus the sign of the infinitive ''to.

Is that e0rrecty' Answer: No. The prOnOun none may be followed by either a singular or a plural verb, depending on the sense. And when there is doubt as to the number of the verb, it is generally customary to write a plural verb.
