Viewpoints Most contemporary humor is imper- sonal and without exact location; bat JupGE recently printed a jest about Selma, Ala., where some unacquainted person declared there was “nothing but morning, noon and night.’? This might have been the jape of a drammer who had not made a sale in Selma, and who, between trains, had found no motion pictures new to him. Now comes a fair Selmian—her name isin JupGe’s possession as an evidence of good faith—who corrects the impres- sion which the joke may have dissem nated. ‘‘Dear Jupce,”’ says this fair one, ‘if the man who said this of Selma had only looked, he would have seen the prettiest girls, the most intellectual women, the grandest men, the handsom- est trees, the broadest streets, and, best of all, the grand old aristocracy that knows nothing of the turkey trot, the banny hug and various other social de- vices affected by persons in larger and livelier cities; and these are but a few of the good things we in Selma possess."” This is published primarily to set Selma right, and incidentally to convey a lesson. There are as many viewpoints as there are persons as to some matters. Every one who is lucky enough to have a birth- place should be proud of it, even if it has not offered advantages to be found else- where. Even the drummer—if it was a drummer —who spoke so disparagingly of Selma no doubt had a native town, the belittling of which would stir him to anger, and the fact is that most persons at times underestimate places with which they are not fully acquainted, As for Selma, it needs no further recommenda- tion to the public unacquainted with it than has been furnished by the lady, whose correction of an error is good- tatured as well as illuminating.

She (airily)—Oh, I don’t know. — It seems to me that if the women could spank the ballot box as they spank the babies, we would have very much better politics everywhere. Easily Remembered.
