For in the ferry road macnlne, driven by Whitley McDonald, was so badly "out of Juck" as to receive so many punctures enroute, that it finally had to turn back without completing its run. i Everybody was happy to have the Methodist Baracas present during the lesson, period Sunday morning. They were the guests of the local Baracas. Judge W.

H. Thomas, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, was present and delivered an illuminating and inspiring address on the lesson for the day. ARE YOU A GOOD CITIZEN Have you ever told a lie to avoid jury service? Have you ever visited your child'3 school? Do you ever throw an old tin can, bottle or newspaper into the public street? Did you ever pick up a bottle or newspaper from the street and throw It into the trash box? Do you make every effort to vote on election day or do you leave the voting to those who have nothing else to do? Do you go to the trouble to find out th qualifications of rival candidates for your State Legislature? Do you vote for a Congressman because you have nothing "against him and he once sent you a package ot radish seeds? Would the fact that a candidate kissed your baby and remembered ycur name influence you to vote for him? FIR IT BAM IM AOVAMCK OliR TRIBUTE TO EDWARD W. BARRETT Tho editor of an Alabama Weakly comes with a Ugh of grief, a (lower of memory and a tribute of the highest respect to the bier of the late Edward W. Barrett, beloved editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald.

Th news of the unexpected passing of this splendid figure In American Journalism casts a cloud of sorrow over all ot Alabama whose dark shadow to all parts of i the States aud even abroad where be was loved and honored. An outstanding figure in the political, social and Journalistic circtea of the state, he possessed a personal magnetism and charm that made an hi acquaintances his close friends. Mr. Barrett was a hunfan and lovable man who helped to make life finer and brighter tor all with whom he came in contact. His life was animated by a sense of justice and he loved The Age-Herald' so well that he was a friend in every true sense of the word of every other newspaper and its editor the small ones in equal proportion to the largest ones.

The profession is poorer now that hi? life is over, and leaders in eveiy walk of life over the entire state fee' a distinct sense of loss. He was our friend and we shall daily miss his strong, true personality in the of the child of his brains. and energy, the i plendid daily newspaper which he edited for twenty-five years. WHAT DOES If COST TO STOP ADVERTISING It is not what it costs to get in the home paper but what it costs to stay out. Most likely you remember James Pyle's Pearline.

It had been advertised, regularly from 1873 to 19u7. Then the trustees of the estate saw a' brilliant chance to save money. They cut out advertising. Sales dropped like a clap hammer profits went where soapsuds and bubbles go. In 1915, Pearline, like Jess Willard, to come back.

But it was too late. The business was soli at a price which Is said to 'have covered barely the value of the' machinery and inventory. Moral: A business will go as long it advertises. A sal.es force will strive as long as it tries. You can't make much progress a gainst the current unless you keep rowing.

But the harder you row, the faster you go. Kow much will The Herald read ers spend in your store. Doesn't the answer "to that question depend on you. Advertise means to sell. Not to advertise usually means disaster.

Give a politician enough ropes and he win get elected. June bridegrooms find it bard to live a double life on a single salary. There is no use in starting trouble is a self-starter.

SttvMSt. '(Paid political A. MULDER. ndvwtinonMnt bj Hicnirnoi. ruici I HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 19SS It ain't always necessary to ue figures to use arithmetic.

Here's a young man all droned up an' no; where to go. Add temptation, weakness of character, desire for ease, op portunity for theft assurance of se curity, fright at discovery, an' the sum total is a murderer. Wipe the whole business off the blackboard in the electric chair an' what have you left? nothln'. If jails were schools you could (each subtraction an' maybe get the sum total back to the young fellow all by himself an' then by addition produce a healthy, beneficial citizen worth money to the state and helpful to other young fools. Maybe schools are better than jaUs.

What do you think? GOVERNMENT A DANGEROUS BUZZ SAW Perhaps the strongest bulwark ot the political boss is the almost universal belief that principles are great er than men. Scarcely a village, town, county or state that has not slipped over, undesirable candidates as against decent men because of this conviction, so frequently in fact that It is time we turned the ml croscope on this very vital assumption. Morals are largely geographi cal and always subject to the times. The theory of right today may be wrong tomorrow. In the early dayt principles in government may have been more vital than men.

In dee. this may be true today, but it is certain that today the character of th men we choose to serve us is more vital than ever before in history, for in matters of government we are compelled to put blind faith in the men we choose to serve us. Govern ment has become so highly technical, so amazingly complex, that it is quite beyond the understanding ot the average individual. The subtleties of civic finance, the intricacies of expert trade, the complexities of transportation problems by land and sea, the technique of tariff, the bewildering, contradictory elements entering into scientific taxation, not to speak of the dazing problems of foreign relations, have removed government so far from the ken of the average citizen that he has lost all touch with it; he feels it is something which he as grave concern, but in which he dares not to express an opinion. His happiness, his welfare, depend on the skill with which these technical problems are confronted, yet they can be man-handled to his complete undoing without his even sensing the folly of his representative.

Summed up, government has geon completely fromthe hands ol people; it seems to have outgrown the people. The people have not kept up with the procession. The press has been insufficient as an educational force, not for lack of desire, but because the press mun exist and the people demand as the pries of support the publication o-triv'alities. The great city newspapers have come to be a mixture of Dia.norid Dick, Sherlock Holmes ar Laura Jean Libby, stripped of personality, often devoid of principle, pandering to the intellect of the lap-perand assuming a "mis-leadership" based on bluff -and bluster which rests on the inability of the people to tear away the mask of mock heroics rind 'disclose a half-baked understanding of our national vitami-es. It seems as if we must turn back the clock and lake more carefu1 measure of integrity and ability in those we must trust.

to dp for us the things are unable ourselves tc understand. If not this, then we need some new system- of education in the land. Picnic season is here. Crop yields will be decided in the next thirty days. Farmers are beginning to Join the co-operation Good churches, pood schools and good roada will develop a section more than anything else, It this ambition.

Here's wishing the new editor or The Baldwin -Times every success and may his joining the ranks of country editors bring to him all that he hopes for. NO SUCH ANIMAL Some of these days we Americans or our decendants, are going to see the greatest curiosity of all time a politician who makes good on his campaign promises. Just now there is no such animal. There never was one. It.

is not the nature of things that there 'should be one under present conditions. Promises just ooze off from an electioneering tongue like thin molasses gurgling out of an open bung hole, And, like molasses, they Keep right on oozing out until this hole ii plugged up by election or defeat. And yet we can't navigate the turbulent sea of life without our politicians, especially those of the professional breed. Bunk is soothing to the disturbed mind, and there is no one who can hand it out as scientifically and as smoothly as a politician. We have to be hoodwinked and cajoled anOanv-phoozled about so often or we would think the country was oiled skids and bow-wows.

And right there fs where our dear old politicians get in their glorious, work. After listening to their glowing promises for five minutes we see millions and other enticing wonders ahead and these enthuse us and spur us on to the performance of real con structiva work of our" own. Thus we see the politicians as a necessity and a national asset Nobody expects a politician to keep his promises. It can't he done. They are mads to fit the various sec tions of his district in which he hands them out, and no' two sections want the same thing and in the same manner.

It is the political duty of every voter to forget election promises as soon as the returns are counted. To insist upon their fulfillment would oreatS discord throughout the state and. nation. Any poor boob can be a politician. Itdoesn't require any brains juBt an unlimited amount of bunk and the ability to smear it on and make, it stick.

Yes, we or our descendants will some day see a' politician who will make good on his campaign promises. But perhaps he won't be a real bona, fide politician just a ner man We Jive in hope. Foley Onlooker. Kids Is Kids B. FRANK ELLIS.
