Tn a certain country which ia under pov efful ruler there is province where condl tions are such that vehicles cannot be used-I all persons must be pedestrians. This is hAIl on the inhabitants and is made harder the governor of the province, with whof standardization and uniformity are ollsei sions. He has established what he conside3 a pace that is suited to the average pedeI trian and he enforces this vigorously on al who tfudge the public thoroughfares. ThoH who cannot keep up are prodded on thoa who would 70 faster are held back.
 The result is . most unfortunate conditiof The ones who are prodded to make thef keep up rebel. They leave the thoroughbred Many become outlaws. From them conf most of the criminals of that country3
 On the other hand, those who are hei hack chafe under the restraint. They dY velop nervous troubles that often lead to ii sanity. And from this group comes the oas ance of that country's criminals.
 Largely as a result of the policy of tn ! provincial governor, the country of which I write has developed criminal class whicf costs approximately six billion dollars . veal Astounding Impossible in this enlightenei day. I hear you say So it would seem. B,t it is true.
 That country is the United States 4 America The ruler is the American peoplf The thoroughfares are the roads of learning The provincial governor is our e,lucatioDf system.
 Our pedagogues have decided arbitrarili that all children must move at the ean5 speed in the class-rooms, regardless of abis ity to move. School courses are establishet for the normal child. The feeble minded cAIl not possibly keep pace. They struggle alonl and after intellectual and disheartening et forts finally give up-drop out. Unable \ hold place in the worlds procession, manl turn against society and become its greates menace.
 The precocious children who could leari their lessons in half the time set by th standard are required to keep pace with tn normal children. The result is they ar held back. They are repressed It make! them restless and brings on nervous troublef From this class come . large number of thl insane people who go to make up the red of the criminal class. For it is a well e{ tablished fact that criminals are either feeblf minded or mentally dsranged. And thes criminals whose foundation we lay in o1 school rooms cost us more than six biiliol dollars a year.
 There are localities where it is recogniseI that children are subnormal, or normal, oI precocious; and provision, after fashion is made for the separate education of eac| group. But the edge of the question hs scarcely been nicked: and. year after veal throughout this great civilized land, we {! on devastating the nation through the mii handling of it's childhood. We shall do bel ter some day.

to clean itself of these unhappy agencies of reproach, and that there are in pub- lie life a majority of honest, courageous and upright men who are not afraid to delve into the misdoings of their col leagues, even those of highest position, and to compel reform. For every dis honorable man, it is still possible to pick out dozen that are honorable. It is a humiliating process through which we are moving, but the nearer prospect of official cleanliness is ample reward for that humiliation. If when the evil rears it's ugly head there is still courage and the hot desire to Top it off, then we may know that the republic yet lives, and that there is no disgrace to the nation which smites dishonorable conduct when ever it is discovered.

No Cause For Discouragement
(Annist0n Star)

kAnnlSLOn Stdrt
 Such obnoxious effluvia is pOlluting the air of official Washington these days, that many citizens are losing faith in the integrity of the government In doing this they are making great mistake. There are, in the nations capital hundreds of government of ficinls whose private and public lives are clean, and whose souls are made sick by the revelations of greed and corruption which are being made. For every crook in high places there are dozens of honest men in equally high places who will pull them down. It has been half a century since anything like the present scandal has occurred in Washington, and when the capital has been cleansed of its stain, as it will be, it may be many years public life

Value Of Pasturage
(Florence Daily News)

(Florence Daily News)
 The very first need in livestock farming is that proper pasturage be available. Pas ture is the cheapest way to feed cattle, hogs and sheep and on the cost of the feed will depend largely the profit you can hope to make Of course, other forage crops be- come necessary to take care of the stock in seasons when pasturage is not available winter time and times of drought-but the main dependence should be grasses and clover.

So the Boy Scouts are to have lunch at the public expense for the conscientious service they render the community Tn helping to train pedestrians to escape death or injury while crossing downtown streets. That much is settled, as the president of the United States once re- marked with a sigh of relief when post master in a town he had never heard or was agreed on. True, the question of whether the city would allow the cost of lunches for the Scouts on Saturday duty, kicked up wrangle in the city commissions regular weekly conference. But the public has become accustomed to that, especially when minor matters are under consideration, and everybody is satisfied, even the faithful Scouts, when they realize that the municipal authorl- ties are sufficiently grateful for the service rendered to pav for bite to eat ......ss it-c t iAt oI,
 There has nestr aean more unsel- fish public service rendered this commit r;ty thsn that of the Scouts. They 5ei-her asked nor expected pay for their sima and labor Many of them attend sckoo!. 1t is chara cteristic of a healthy boy to wax. 4. least part Of his Saturday holiday to do the things that appeal to his taste and spirit. Yet the Scouts cheer fully put in the whole of Saturday in an arduous and tnan'-less task.
 There need Ls~>5o surprise that the Scouts were g bit discouraged when there was hesitation over the little item of cost to cover the lunch needed. No normal boy could or should work all day without si'a a eat, and especially when he is voluntarily sacrificing his personal inter ests and inclinations to serve others. The Scouts are a valued asset to this or any other community. And the more so when they willingly serve in such capacity as the Birmingham Scouts frequently do. Their courage, their purpose and their spirit will go far towards making them good citizens, which is the greatest of all community assets. Every fair-minded resident of Birming ham is glad that the Scouts are to be given this small measure of material appreciation.

IS THE HOME DOOMED?
By BRUNO LEssiNe

MT. E c. Beck of Boston predicts that marriage, as it exists. will come to an end This means that the home will be destroyedl The home, as we know it. is built upon tho no home-or, at least. no home to braE about The cause of this great change, acf cordng to Mir Beck, will be the employment of women in industry. They will become more and more independent of men. it will be increasingly difficult for them to bring up their children, and they will not have aa many children.
 The present generation will not live to sse this catastrophe. That is one great consolaf tion. The home, in all civilized countries} is a mighty fine institution. If it must break up on a grand scale. we would much prefer to have it happen after we have all passed away.
 But will it happen? Is there not greateIs chance that women, some day, will not be employed in industry? It is easy to paint q gloomy picture and to make direful prophI ecy. Most prophets are wrong A wise nanI seldom prophecies.
 Many homes have been wrecked by dif vorce. Many homes have been wrecked byt a foolish pursuit of shallow pleasures. Many homes, if they have not been wrecked, have been made practically superflIous by tho modern spirit of "womans equality and femi1 nine rights" And yet. when you consider that we are a nation of 11O000,000 people, thesel cases are so scarce that they hardly count A home destroyed is such a pathetic sight that it distresses us. When one little tooth aches, the wholel body feels miserable. And. in any fair sized town, the spectacle of twenty or thirty wrecked homes is so appalling that we cannot, help using the word many" despite all sta tistics.
 But there are many, many more homes that have not been wrecked and never will be, wrecked. There are millions and millions of1 homes in which the true spirit of family life is still worshipped. And many of the economicl grievances of today will be remedied and many fads and habits and customs will change before those homes will be destroyed.
 When we become thoroughly civilized, our women will not have to work outside the home And when women learn that the hap piness of bringing up children and having d home is greater than dancing, or speech making or organizing women's movements, or having any kind of personal independence they will quit a great deal of their foolish ness and notsfrighten the Mir. Becks of the future. RF4&M}

southerner For President
(TalIadega Daily Home)

It is often asserted by Southerners that no Southern man can be elected president of the United States. This is not on record yet. The great war went very far toward eliminating all sectional bitterness between North and South, and with the election of a president from the South, which is not impossible, the last strain of sectional feeling would vanish.

Asked Little. Got Less
JCarbon Hill Index)

permanent highway from Nauvoo to Carbon Hill, connecting with the Bankhead Highway, is contended for by thousands of citizens and taxpayers in western Walker county. It should be evident that this road will be built-for is it not presumed that tax money will be spent to bring an equal and just advantage to all property owners? We have asked for little and gotten less. It is time to awaken to the need of united action.

To Stamp Out Perjury

So long as whisky is made there will he some to take chances. but it is taking ones life in ones own hand to buy and drink the booze the bootleggers put on the market.
