December 5, 1896.
Editor State Herald.
l am forced to take issue with you on
your article of this date, under caption
of Don't Think 1t Wise" 49,
You seem to think Mr.. Cofer erred in
introducing his child labor bill; you think
Mr.. Cofer on rejecting, will not push
his bill. In this l differ with. you. for
when innumerable petitions from all
over the state pour in on the representa-
tive from Cullman indorsing his action,
he will push his bill, and push it to sue
cess. No man can read the mastery ad-.
dress of Dr. J.. L. M. Curry to the Ala
bama legislature and study the STATISTICS
as laid down by him could advocate put
ting our children in shops and factories
rather than in schools. If you take the
pains to inform yourself you will find
that the much-coveted cotton factories
are moving from states where child Ia
Dor is prohibited by law, to states that
have no statute on child labor. And If
you investigate the subject carefully you
will find that the states that the cotton
manufacturer is leaving has the high
est per cent. of education, while the
states they seek to invest in have the
highest per cent. of illiteracy. You Will
also learn by careful investigation that
the worlxingmen in the states cotton
manufacturers are so anxious to leave
are thoroughly organized and they have
men in their ranks who can meet and
with men in all walks of life, and they
have had no other training except what
they got in the public schools. I am
heartily in favor of cotton factories or
any other industries that will give en-
ployment to idle labor locating in our
state. and will do as much as any man
to make them welcome, but let it be I'M
derstood when they come that they are
to employ men and women and not chill
dren. l yield to man the love bear for
my adopted state, but would rather see
the bats and owls hcoting the streets of
every city in our state, if our prosperity
is to be wrung from the sweat and blood
of little children.
I do hope that our legislature will de-
eide that it is better for the state to put
our children in school than in factories
and the education they receive in the
former will reflect more credit on the
state than the education that they re-
ceive in the latter. And I hope all the
wage earners in the state will write Mr.
Golfer thanking him for introducing this
bill, and write their representatives and
senators asking them to support it.
Respectfully,
w. H. STANLEY.

THE MESSAGE AN OBJECT LESSON

THE MESSAGE AN OBJECT LESSON.
The inaugural address delivered yes
terday by Governor J. F. Johnston, the
new sound money chief magistrate or
Alabama has the right ring In It,
BY adhering to the principles he enunc1-
ates the people of that state Will make
great strides in prosperity and furnish
a powerful object lesson to some of their
less sagacous neighbors.-New York
Herald. 'r3'' - 'i-' 'f
The Herald is mistaken If it thinks
Gov. Johnston favors Sound money
after the Heralds manner of thinking
Gov. Johnston is a bimetallist and be-
lieves in the free coinage of gold and
silver by the United States independent
of any other nation. He attended the
first silver conference held in Washing
ton and took an active part in the de-
liberations of that body. He was a
strong advocate of Mr.. Bryan, and
stumped the state for him. However,
the Herald is right in saying his mes
sage "has the right ring in it," and
by "adhering to the principles he enunci-
ates the people of the state will make
great strides in prosperity and furnish a
powerful object lesson to some of their
less sagacious neighbors." Gov. john
ston Is a broad-gauged man, a repre-
sentative Of the masses, and looks at
all questions in a practical. business-like
way. ... -

MOVING OFF RIGHT.

Capt. Brandon, member of the legisla-
ture from Tuscaloosa, county, introduced
into that body last Friday bill in line
with the recent recommendation OF GOV.
Johnston that the powers of the Ala
bama railroad commission be enlarged.
Mr. Brandon is one of the most promi-
nent members of the house, and as a
leader of that body he is fast coming to
the front. In Montgomery paper we
find the following reference to the bill
proposing to grant additional powers to
the railroad commission:
THAT it shall be the duty of the COM
mission to investigate thoroughly all
through freight rates from points out
side of Alabama, both those now fxed
and those that may hereafter be fixed:
THAT whenever the railroad commits
sion of Alabama finds that a through
rate charged into or out of Alabama, is,
in their opinion, excessive or unreason-
able or discriminating in its nature, 1t
shall be the dutysof thesrailroad commits
sion to call the attention OF the railroad
officials in Alabama to the fact, and to
urge upon them the propriety OF cnans-
ing such rate or rates
'That whenever such rates are not
charged according to the suggestion or
the RAILROAD commission, it shall be the
duty of the commission to present the
facts, whenever 1t can legally be done, to
the Interstate commerce commission and
to appeal to it for relief"
This step in the right direction.
The bill Is now. in the hands of the COM
mittee and should be promptly reported.
Every democrat in the general assembly
should give the measure his support.
The idea of having a state railroad COM
mission with only power to recommend
is ridiculous. Give the commission power
to do something, or abolish it. Let's don't
have a powerless commission any more.

Gov. Johnston is a practical business
man and his administration of our state
affairs will be conducted in a practical
business way. He is devoted to the in
terests of Alabama and will leave moth

and upbuilding of all of its varied in
terests. The Sentinel wishes him every
success and hopes that his proudest an
ticipations for Alabama may be fully

Lines written on the death of Mrs.
Edna Shattuck who died in Winhall
August "a, 1896.
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain,
Farewell, till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
'Tis ours to miss thee all our years
And tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so
He giveth his beloved sleep.
Dearest mother. thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that has bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
When in heaven with jog to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.
Weep not that her tolls are over,
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work like hers is done.
Till then we yield with gladness
Our mother to him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He givcth his loved ones sleep.
Through all pain at times she'd smile,
A smile of heavenly birth,
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely easket keeps
And the sunbeams love to lnger
Where our sainted mother sleeps.

the sturdy sons of the old Green

Tuesday to register their voice as to
the political issues of the day. Every
one expected that there would be no
uncertain sound about it but no one
thought that it would come in thuder
tones, but it did, and it's echoes are
yet sounding from Maine to Califor-
mia and from the great lakes to the
gulf. Republicans expected 10000,
the state committee were working for
$4,000 but patriotic Democrats said
that this was not enough; that the
proposition to debase our currency
should be buried beyond the hopes of
resurrection, and joining with the
mighty phalanx of Republicans rolled
mp "a plurality, in round numbers, Of
$4,000, a plurality larger by ten
thousand than ever given in the state.
