Protecting The ROads.-The time of year is here when stone and gravel roads un- dergoing the hardest strain and the enforce ment of law regarding the use of the roads when the ground is in soft and wet condi- tion is essential. But law enforcement will not solve the problem by any means; there must be a desire on the, part of the users of the roads to do the right thing, regardless of the inconvience that they might be caused. -Pickens County Herald.
 Example Of Inconsistency-The man who insists that you cant believe anything you see in the papers is generally the first one who takes to task for misleading the pub lie when we unintentiOnally run an item that isn't exactly correct-Brewton Standard.
 Political Considerations TaboO-Any policy of allowing political considerations to inter fere with what is plainly the right and proper thing to do is entirely foreign to the spirit of our highway legislation and will be rightfully resented by the people of this en- tire district.--Muscle Shoals Sunday News.
 Results Of CO-OperatiOn.-Harmony and cooperation live in Eufaula as never before. Even intolerance to great extent has been made to take a back seat out of respect for progress that is leading the van in behalf of betterment for the city and surrounding cOuntry.-Eufaula Citizen.
 Principles The Important Thing-It is the presumption that the text book committee will take into consideration the prices submitted by the publishing companies, but more i'm portant still, is the quality of the texts. The cost of book is soon forgotten. but the i'm preSsion made by a book on the minds of the young can never be erased. Alabama public schools need texts that will ineulcate in the young the principles that have guided the American nation through the years of Itc vie ha OnnS hn nsideration.-Montgomery Journal.
 No Need For DiScOuragement-Ther is no need for a good farmer to get discouraged. farmer is the one man who actually knows that he can make q living gawith fine chance to make some money besides Many farmers have done it when conditions w-re more un- favorable than they are nOw.-RoanOke Leader.
 Their Work Appreciated.-Teachers who labor faithfully doubtless realize that their work has not been in vain when graduation days come and they receive invitations from former pupils who are graduating at various institutions Country schools, high schools and colleges yearly graduate pupils who have been encouraged to continue their studies by teachers. who realize that they are help ing to train better citizens rather than merely working at a rather tedious position. -Dekalb County Herald.
 Will Have A Good Effect.-Every cloud has it's silver lining, as the old saying goes. and a silver lining may be found ill the sordid revelations which are being made m the of ficial life of the nation. Investigation is the order of the day. In addition to the invest- gatiOns of the oil scandal and of the various executive departments, there are calls for in- quiries into the alleged activities and opera tions of certain congressman charged with being implicated in the liquor traffic. Now whether these charges be we'll founded or not, and regardless of whether they are invest- gated or not, they are going to have a good effect in that they will cause congressman and other high government officials to avoid even the appearance of evil. For they know now that their sins soon will find them out, and that the voters will, too.-GadSden Journal.
 The Urban Recreation PrOblem.-So far as it is humanly possible, every opportunity should be given able-boded men and women to earn living wage; the laws should be strictly enforced to keep crime and vice at a minimum education should be made com pulsory, and educational facilities should be available for all and the amusements and recreation of urban people should be mat ter of concern, not only to parents and so- cial workers, but the municipal governments should take cogpizsnce of the need of super vision and regulation, that temptation to do evil might be reduced.-Anniston Stag.
