DOES NOT LOGICALLY FOLLOW

Mir. Bryan's reported intention of coming to Alabama to speak in behalf of the can didacy of Mir. l.. B. Musgrove is the exer- joys of supporting for office whomsoever he pleases. Mir. Bryan has a following in Ala bama, undoubtedly a far larger following than Mr. Musgrove. The Commoner's fol lowing is based recognition of his long period of political influence within the party and is quite apart from afy prohibi- tion belief which may be common between himself and MT. Musgrove. The distinction is that, whereas Mir. Bryans sincerity as an exponent of prohibition is unQuestioned, there is a settled conviction that MT. Mus grove uses prohibition merely as cloak for the satisfaction of political grudge. Indeed, if it came to an actual test of pro- hibition enforcement, it is certain that Mir. Musgroyes putative executive effort in that direction would be altogether dwarfed by Mir. Underwoods effort. Those who esteem Oscar Underwood and support him would not for one moment consider comparison of the two men in any official capacity were it not for the technical fact that MT. Musgrove is formally and legally also a can didate no matter what his motive or ca pacity.
 It is believed that MT. Bryan's audiences will listen to him with respect and atten- tion. His view on the general subject of prohibition is the prevailing view in Ala bama. the state with the most stringent prohibition laws in the United States. When Mir. Bryan proceeds to ask support for MT. Musgrove, however, he seeks some thing that does not logically follow support of prohibition in this state; for many of the leading opponents of prohibition in Ala bama have perceived the speciousness of the Musgrove disguise and the attempted re- vival of an issue which in this state is an accomplished fact, and which in the nation is an accomplished fact. The people know where Mir. Underwood stands on this ques- tion, and are far more willing to entrust the responsibility to Mir. Underwoods known capacity, than to Mir. Musgrove's problematical capacity. The people know that Mir. Underwood is a statesman, up right, experienced and faithful to his of ficial trust. They do not know that about Mir. Musgrove.
 Mir. Bryan will elicit popular approval in Alabama of his prohibition convictions, but Mir. Bryan with all his masterly elo- Quence, can never convince. the people of Alabama that they should forsake MT. Un- derwood and create for themselves the deep embarrassment of offering as their candi- date one falling immeasurably below presi dential stature. Alabama has always been proud of Mfs, Underwood, and Alabama cannot be persuaded into accepting the mor- tification of. bidding Mir. Underwood to stand aside for lesser man:

 One of the most promising factors in the development of section like that around Fairfield and Bessemer-or, for that matter. of any section favored with natural re- sources-is realization by its people that system of good roads constitutes the foun- dation upon which rest expansion and de- velopment of every kind. The more this is understood by the people, and the greater their efforts to put it into practical appli- cation, the larger the measure of progress and prosperity they will enjoy. There can be no wiser, no more productive invest ment, than the building of good roads wherever there are resources that are wor- thy and capable of development.

 The proposed immigration law would allow the entrance of more than one hundred and fifty thousand selected immigrants each year. That number, with the natural population in- crease of the country, which in the present decade easily exceed ten million, will provide for substantial prosperity and growth. What America would have been in the last fifty years without immigration need not be pie tured but it is certain that the country could have advanced industrially and other wise through its own natural growth of pop ulation.

Too Much Wild Shooting
 (Elnrpnce Daily NAMsl

There is no reason for the many instances of shooting on the part of the men who are to enforce the prohibition laws. Those who violate them are not criminals of the class where killing is justified in seeking to make arrests-and especially is this true where yiolators are merely trying to get away. Ar resting dry officers have no right to shoot unless there is resistance offered by those wanted No shoot at men who are running away is absolutely without legal justifica- tion.

When Alabama went dry the city of Bir- mingham disposed of one of it's finest con- crete jails and turned it into juvenile court building. No doubt they thought, like the circulars that were issued, that it would never be needed again. When we get more sure enough, honest to goodness sreligion in our bones, and less politics, then the jails will be better ventilated with the absence of prisoners

the revelations Of the statistics of

striking testimony, declared Dr.
julius Klein. director of the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, in making the figures pull

of Indiana's packing Industry. If
all the shipments of Indiana meat
which eventually reaches foreign

figures would be even larger.

BUSINESS UNDER
TEMPORARY LULL
Fletcher American Believes
Pairing Is Favorable,

Quoting from the June Trade
Trends issued by Fletcher American
Bank, business is nearing the half
way mark of 1924 under the influ-
ence of moderate recession. Indus
trial production and employment are
declining, prices are weakening and
most of the phenomenal gains in ac-
tivity early in the year have been
lost.
Political events have borne more
than their share Of blame for the
current lull. The passage Of the
bonus bill, the side-tracking Of the
Mellon tax plan and the general I'M
settlement incident to presidential
campaign year, all have helped TO
dampen sentiment.
Business has slowed down be-
cause domestic productive capacity
is temporarily over-expanded. Last
years activity was stimulated by
demand to fill war-created shortages.
Domestic consumption is so
great that extended curtailment Of
outputs would deplete stocks and
stiffen prices. For this reason the
current pairing Of production is IA
vorable. 1t is tending toward a bet
ter balance o. supply and demand.
Already Slightly more steady con-
ditions have appeared in steel. shoes,
hides and other lines. Confidence is
growing that the present lull will not
be an extended one. This sentiment
Is strengthened by improving pros
poets for Europe and by the great
credit ease in this country.
