 Does Not Apply To Foads.-The way of the transgressor is hards but who ever heard tourist complain about the hardness of the road ?-Tuscaloosa News.
 Taxpayers Bear The Burden The Gads- den Journal wishes to know who is paying for the oil investigation. From this distance it would appear that the taxpayers always pay.-Huntsville Star. ;
 Look Out For Boil Weeyils.-All the boil weeyils have not been killed by the cold winter, and if there is much rain in June and July we may expect heavy infestation.-- Prattville Progress.
 About Kicking And Knocking. Don't kick, but keep your feet on the ground and pull. Don't knock, but use your hammer to help in the work of building a greater Andalusia. -Andalusia Star.
 More Third Party TaIk-That talk of a third, party does not down. It wouldn't be SO bad if only the name of Lax Eollettc were not associated with it. But with Underwood assured, they'll not need it.-Talladega Daily Home.
 One Way To Economize way Uncle Sam could cut down expenses would be in freeing mails from lot of worthless trash running into the trainloads almost dAily!- Huntsville Times. h.
 Good Evidence Of Prosperity-Probahl the best evidence of prosperity that can be- furnished by state Or q city is in the amount of building done in it. Where much building is in progress there is growth and there must be prosperity, for people do not undertake building work unless they have money, or can get it easily and on reasonable terms.--An- niston Star. y 4
 That en-Cents.An.Aere Land.--We are not yet convinced that the discovery that much of the school swamp lands that were sold fifty years ago for ten cents an acre is going to develop into a real live scandal. As its location--part of it--is given, we may remark that we have seen some of 1t, and that any one purchasing such as we have seen at ten cents an acre today would be badly stung.-Opelika News.
 Still More Light Needed.-Let's see, was it Socrates who said that the only good was knwoledge, and the only bad was ignorance? This IS equivalent maybe to the statement that the only good is light (mental light) and the only evil is darkness. Any way, we trust that the senate probing committee will continue to let more light shine on those slippery transactions done in oil in the dark ness of secrecy, if not in the darkness of the night.-Boaz Leader.
 Too Much With Big Interests.-The great trouble with both of the great political par ties is they have been running too much with big interests; interests that want some spe- cial favors in the election of this or that can- didate, and favors that the people have to pay for. But money talks in politics as well as anything else, and people will continue to be fooled, and men on the pay rolls of big business will manipulate the voters through hired servants at So much per day or ride. Nha nfAn AA x,,sU never be fooled again, but they fall for it the very next election. Just watch the next state election and see which way the wind blows.-Centreville Press.
 A Church. Going Community.-We do not mean to start an argument or suggest any comparisons or make claims that cannot be proved for Selma as a church going town. but if there Is place of its class having more noble church edifices with more flourishing congregations to go with them it would be interesting to hear about it. Go early or take standing room describes the situation that often obtains at Selma churches on Sunday. And too, there is always a spirited rivalry for Sunday school attendance, the leaders frequently running up their classes beyond their capacity to handIe.--Selma Times-Jour- nal.
 Victory For Common Sense.-Under- woods victory in the election is a victory for plain common sense. This victory for Un- derwood is victory for the people of the state. Alabama has done we'll. She has given her illustrious. son a stroAg boost in his race for the nations highest office. The indications point to great victory, one that will show the country that Alabama is be. hind Underwood and that she intenrs to put up strong fight to make him the next presi- dent of the United States. Underwood can now go into the fight in other states with a better standing as the establishment of the fact that he is Alabania's candidate will helD him in other states, in the convention and with the nation at larse.-Gadsden Times News.
