LET'S STOP THE HOLDING UP BUSI-
NESS.

The sentiment that impels individuals
to advocate the passage of laws to protect
the public generally from the wiles Of the
professional gambler should in greater
degree impel them to advocate and press
the passage of the necessary laws to
protect the helpless laboring man from
the greed of corpora tons. A man who
has money and goes to the race track
or to O. pool room and voluntarily wagers
IT on the result of a race is benefited by
the passage of lew removing from his
pathway the temptation. A man who Is
out of money and out of employment goes
to a corporation in the pursuit of work
He Is given employment on conditions
that enable the corporation to use him
for just barely what he can exist upon,
not what Is necessary to live upon. What
are those conditions? They are that he
is to work, say for 81 per day, and trade
IL out at the commissary. Say the man
has a wife and three children to support,
and is given twenty-six days to work
during a month. You will answer readily
that at present prices for the necessaries
of life he should be able to support his
family on that amount. Let's see He Is
not paid off every night. or every Satur-
DAY night. He is given time checks.
They are good only at the commissary.
He must go there to buy his supplies. He
must pay so cents per gallon for kerosene
oil. so cents per package for Arbuckle's
coffee. s1.10 for 25 pound sack of cheap
-four, 16 cents per pound for bulk meat,
when it is worth cents in the city. He
must be locked. say 81 for house rent,
whether he lives in the company's house
or not; 81 for doctors bill, whether he
gets sick or not; so cents for insurance
whether he insures or not. So If he
works twenty-six days he only gets about
5000 to invest in eatables and wearables,
equal only to $1021, he being forced to
pay two prices. II he is only given thir-
teen days, as is frequently the case, and
is promised 50, 1t pans out the same way.
You ask why the man submits to 1t. The
answer Is plain. He must do that or
starve. ,...-
Now, we submit that law prohibiting
the sale of pools on horse or any other
kind of racing will not accomplish near
the good and protect near so many peo-
pie as would a law absolutely putting
it beyond the power of corporations to
prey upon the misfortunes of the poorer
class of laborers. We favor the anti

KEEP UP THE CLUBS.

At a recent meeting of the Bryan and
Sewall club of Montgomery, steps were
taken to continue the organization. The
name OF the club was changed. We pub
lish below the resolutions offered at that
meeting by Col John w. A. Sanford and
unanimously adopted. The State Herald
heartily commends the action of the
Montgomery Bryan and Sewall club, and
would urge every other club of the same
kind in the state to follow the example
set by the true democrats who live in
the Capital City. Following are the reso-
lutions: -'t
Resolved, That the political organiza-
ton heretofore known as the Bryan and
Sewall club, be hereafter designated as
the Democratic Bmetallic league of
Montgomery county; and that the officers
of said club be continued as the officers
OF this lehgue.
Resolved, That we approve of, and
hereby declare our -unfaHering adher-
enee to the principles and policies an
nounced by the democratic convention at
Chicago during the month of July, 1896;
and that we earnestly request the CO.
operation of our fellow citizens. who
agree with us in the support of the
said platform; and in the policy of the
free, equal and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 as
the full legal tender money of our coun-
try without the consent or permission
of amy foreign government.
1t would be a capital idea for every
club in the state to hold a meeting and
adopt the above resolutions. Don't al
low your organizations to go by default.
Keep them up. Hold regular meetings
and discuss PUBLIC questions. When
congress meets every club in the state
should subscribe for one or more copies
of the Congressional Record for the use
of the club, to be read and discussed at
the club meetings. In this way the peo-
pie will find no trouble in keeping up
with what the party pledged to give the
country prosperity on the gold stand
ard does, and two years from now if
this plan is followed 1t will be out of the
question to deceive the people. Keep up
the clubs and continue the campaign of
education.

WRITE THE LETTER.

This is the Sabbath day. This is the
day set apart by the All Wise Creator
for rest and worship of Him. The State
Herald desires a short talk with you this
morning. Are you not proud that you
can spend today with your family? Do
you not prize very highly the privilege
you have of taking your little ones by
the hand and leading them to Sabbath
school this morning? Are you not glad
that you can today take your wife and
children and go to church and hear the
gospel expounded from the pulpit by your
favorite minister? Isn't 1t great boon
to be able to spend one day of the seven
in each week in the bosom of your dear
family? To all of those questions you
will, of course. reply yes, promptly Then
we wish to ask you If you have stopped
to consider the fact that there are this
morning in Alabama thousands of your
fellow citizens. whose families are Just
as dear to them as yours Is to you. men
who would prize just as highly as you do
the precious and priceless privilege OF
spending this Sabbath day as you will
spend it, who are prohibited from doing
so siinply because their lot In life. has
thrown them in the employ of heartless
and greedy corporations. This morning
they are forced to go forth and labor to-
day just as though it were the first day
OF the week. If you have not stopped

LET'S GET RID OF BOTH.

Pool selling on horse races is wrong.
The State Herald is glad to see the min
listers of this and other cities taking the
active and aggressive stand that they are
now taking looking to the procuring of
the passage of a law to prohibit It, Let
us not forget that only in about three
cities in Alabama is there any pool selling
INDUCED in. Some large trees from small
acorns grow, and If permitted to continue
pool selling will grow and reach out,
gradually planting its poisonous fangs
in the smaller towns and cities. Now is
the time to call halt, and put an end
ITO 1t, but the good ministers who are en-
gagged in the righteous fight against book
making should also take up the cause Of
the men who are forced to work on the
Sabbath day in order that the railroad
corporations may earn more money. Let
the ministers think of the fact that Sum
day is a big day for the railroads in Ala
bama, and that thousands of men are by
them forced to work on the Sabbath day
and thereby prevented from attending
church and being with their families.
The railroads use the Sabbath day to run
excursions on; they use 1t to- pile up
freight cars along the the line of Georgia,
within whose borders the railroad en-
ploye is by law protected from the greed
of these creatures of the law. -
The State Herald is with the ministers
in their fight against the bookmakers and
most earnestly invites the ministers to
join with 1t in an effort to secure the pas
sage of a law to prevent the operation of
freight trains on the Sabbath. We know
they are in sympathy with the move
We know they are opposed to the Sunday
freight train, but we ask them to join
actively and aggressively in the fight and
bring promptly into play their influence,
and let's be able to say when the contest
is over that there will be no more pool
selling in Alabama and no more running
of freight trains on Sunday in Alabama.

That was blow beneath the belt

its leading editorial this morning that

would not enact "meritorlous' laws for
Birmingham, unless the people of this
community should vote as the state adj
ADMINISTRATION may wish
The present Legislature of Alabama is
exceptionally strong In ability and char

Gov Johnston has nothing whatever to
do with enaeting laws, as the News well
knows. and we dare say he would not
exercise the veto power, or would re-
frain from using his influence for any and
all local measures beneficial to his home
city, but Gov. Johnston, as the News also
knows, is democrat of democrats-and

pool selling law and we want the minis
ters and good people generally who are
fighting for that law to take up, with
us, the fight for anti-commissary legisla-
ton. The anti-pool selling law protects
the class of people prone to sport. Anti
commissary legislation will protect the
poor men against the greed of corpora
lions. Only those who have the cash
can sport and lose their money on horse
races, but those who are too hungry to
be sporty and have only their labor are
at the mercy of the concern that takes
his labor, pays him in time checks and
then charges him prices that can't be
termed extortionate, but must be called
robbery for the goods he is obliged to
have.
No slave owner in Alabama before the
negro was freed ever more completely

The Birmingham Evening News should
not lay it's major premise to charge to the
account of Gov. Johnston the failure to
secure local legislation in case a republi-
can is made mayor of this city next Tues
day. The News we'll remembers that
when a misconceived editorial crept into
these columns on the day prior to the
nomination of Gov. Johnston that he ia
vored retrenchments on the issues upon
which the canvass was made, more than
100 delegates waited upon him and the
common remarks were in about this Ian
guage:
Capt. Johnston, the democracy of this
state represents principle; it is conc eded
that you represent this principle, but If
such is not the case, however much we
like you and appreciate your services to
the party we will tender the nomination
to some one who will carry the banner as
we thought you would carry it,

in the accuse tion that he as Governor, is
able to champion and have passed any

called to your attention, If you feel so dis

prohibit the railroads OF Alabama from
forcing their employees to work on Sunday

Is no excuse for running freight trains on
Sunday except that the corporations that
operate them can thereby pile up more
dollars. The men who have to work on
freight trains in Alabama in order to
support their families are dragged away
