Repays for the s Extra Effort--The straight and narrow way may not be as good as much diversion for the traveller, but the scenery at the end makes it worth while and repays for all the extra effort and sac rifice to get there- Florence News.
 A Menace to the Community.--Any per- son who buys property in a community and does not improve 1t or make it productive, but sits idly by and waits for his neighbors to make public improvements that will in- crease it's value is a menace to that commu- nity.Oneonta Southern Democrat
 Those DolIar-a-Y Year Men.-The new at. torney general states that he will have no roll. Judging from recent testimony, if he paid the buck due those he discharged, the government gave something for nothing.- Opelika News.
 Should Give Them Jobs.--With the clos ing of school, numbers of young boys and some girls begin making plans to earn lit- tie money during the summer vacation. These boys and girls should be encouraged to do this. The business and professional men of the town should, wherever possible, offer positions to those students.-Alexander City Outlook.
 Must Have Been 6 Strain.-For the life of us we cannot see where Senator Norris should obejct to being kissed by a good looking Alabama girl. The only wonder is, how any good-looking girl could ever make up her mind to kiss a man looking like the senator if he is anything like his picture. It must have. been a great strain upon her pa- triotism, even for such a cause as helping along the Ford Muscle Shoals offer.-Hunts- vile Star.
 Aftermath of Kilby's Work.-The county boards of review, the new name given to the tax revisers, or county tax equalization com missions, that have been in session to hear complaints of over-assessments, have had lit tie or nothing to do. The county tax ad- justers. created by the Kilby administration to establish more just and adequate tax as- sessments, did their work so efficiently and so fearlessly that little has been left for these new tax bodies to do.-Selma Times-Journal.
 Ranks High in Conventions. is one of the leading counties in the state of Alabama and ranks with the best of them in conventions, conferences and meetings. In the past few days we have observed the farmer-editor conference, the 1nter-City Xii wanis meet, the stop-over made by the Wash- ington Shriner convention party, the stop over or the aSnluSCOu OOuIcuerdCc teC- erans' party, a sightseeing trip of investors from the North, the Nashville Boosters, the laying of the Deshler High School corner stone and several special car delegations of investors and sight-seers. Our schools have graduated record classes, we have fine chautauqua coming and all is well with the world. Colbert's great county to live in.- Tuscumbia Alabamian- Dispatch.
 No Joking Matts-.-The committee who heard Mrs. Edmondspn testify will believe that the senator was kissed, and while they will envy -him, they will probably wonder why young lady would kiss such "horrid" man, even for patriotic motive. Imme. diately after the incident in the committee the senator's secretary and friends saw the newspaper reporters and asked them to treat the matter as a joke" This was asking too much of the reporters They treated the matter seriously-it was good newspaper copy But they treated the senator as a joke instead. It Is no joking matter when 6 man gets angry about a girl voluntarily kissing him. Public sentiment will always be with the girl. Nor can a joke be made out of 6 senator's telling a lady that she has told q falsehood when everybody believes she has told the truth.-Anniston Star.
