THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Marshall County's Primary.

The effort to conduct populist campaign within the democratic party is naturally leading to much bitterness and discord The Marshall county convention was disturb ed by it, and it is said the subject will be freely discussed thereat. If the democratic organization of that county was placed in the hands of the leader of the populists, who proceeded to conduct in popullst beats a populist canvass, the fact cannot be too plainly or emphatically brought out. Both in Marshall and Limestone democratic beats supported Senator Morgan, while populist beats in both counties voted against him. True, this plan will not be productive of anti-Morgan results. for at the most the populsts cannot seat more than twenty representatives out of one hun dred
 But that is not the point in the case. Populst monkey work has no place, no rights, within the democratic organization Populists can become democrats As such they would be welcome. But populists 
 and If any of them did take part in the democratic primaries in Marshall county or did manipulate them in any manner, the fact should be exposed and properly con- demned. If Judge Street had charge of the democratic machinery in Marshall, being still popuist, let the fact became known from one end of the state to the other. If such work is going on, no matter by whom conducted, let it be made known. Secrecy may be possible in a land deal, but it should be rendered impossible in the peoples cleo tions The democrats of Marshall can eX- cellently serve their fellow citizens by go- ing to the bottom of the scheming in their county. Gather facts as to Judge Streets present political status. Gather evidence, too, as to the extent his action and control in the recent primaries. Spread out the facts, thus serving the sixty-four counties that are yet to hold primaries, putting all on guard. and notifying schemers and trick sters to keep hands off.

HON. JOHN II. BANKHEAD

From the Tuscaloosa Times.
 The caucus decided for Richardson of Tennessee as leader of the democratic mi nority of the house, but this fact does not shake our belief in the fact that Bankhead is a man of as strong, if not the strongest, influence in congress. Causes contributing to the turn of the scale that lost him the majority vote may be three-fold. One may be state and local effort to hurt his chances and cripple him as possible candidate for the United States senate-a fitting man in- deed to succeed the grand old man, Morgan, when he sees fit to retire. Again, it may have been that Bailey did him no good in naming him as his successor We trust there was no treachery. Bankhead is pop ular in Washington, in congress and in his district.

Georgia's Artesian Wells.

The state geological department of Geor- gia has recently issued a bulletin covering the artesian well system of the state. Many towns arc becoming weary of filthy, dis ease-laden water supplies taken from small streams, aad in some places they are re- sorting to artesian wells. It has been shown that in all of the state south of Columbus, Macon and Augusta-over one half of it--artesian wells can be had. Flow ing water can be obtained in this wide sec- ton by deep borings.
 The bulletin of the state geological de- part.nent presents a list of 14S artesan wells in South Georgia. Of this number 34 are in Savannah. That citys admirable water supply is procured from artesian or

THE SANDPIPER

By Celia ThaXter. Across the lonely beach we fit,
 One little sandpiper and l; And fast I gather. bit by bit
 The scattered driftwood, bleached and
 dry,
 The wild waves reach their hands for it. The wild wind raves, the tide runs high, As up and down the beach we fit, One little sandpiper and I. I watch him as he skins along, Uttering his sweet and mournful cry; He starts not at my fitful song, Nor flash of f1uttering drapery. He has no thought of any wrong, He scans me with fearless eye: Stanch friends are we, we'll tried and
 strong,
 The little sandpiper and I. Comrade where wilt thou be tonight, When the loosed storm break furiously? My driftwood fire win burn so bright! To what warm shelter canst thou fly? do not fear for thee. though wroth The tempest rushes through the sky; For are we not Gods children both =. Thou, little sandpiper, and I? .. Ii

Conuress and the President.

The members elected thirteen months ago are now brought face to face with govern mental problems. No one knows why thir- teen months should elapse between election and the actual transaction of business, but the interval is a part of our political sys- tenn, and it is difficult to change it.
 But this time conditions are not material ly different than they were thirteen months ago. The currency and financial problems are always with us, and the problems con where they did when the members of the Fifty-sixth congress were elected.
 Excepting a few years during and follow ing the civil war, no president since Jack jority in both houses in a mid-term con gress. MT. Mckinley is now backed up by clear majorities in every department of government, even in the supreme court Such an example occurred in Jackson's second term, and during of course the ab- normal civil war and reconstruction period, when more or less states were deprived of representation.
 The house, too, was organized without hot struggle over the speakership or other officers, and the Reed rules stood ready made to hand, and were taken whole, to be digested afterwards and made to suit the case. They are autocrats in the extreme. giving the speaker more authority than even the president possesses. The speaker and the committee on rues-a committee of five. of which the speaker is one-are really the house, controlling and limiting, dispatching or suppressing business. The speaker names the committee on rules, and the two other republican members are in- variably men who will work easily in har- ness with himself. The two additional members are democrats.
 Perhaps the most tyranncal and outra- geous feature of the situation created by the Reed rules is, the power given the speaker in the recognition of members on the floor. One rule expressly provides that 1t should be left with the speaker to recog- nlZe WhomSoeVer ne may please to Selecl. Under this rule he can keep out or keep down legislation without limit. A member who desired to gain the vote of the house on the calling up of a particular bill, in- volving, for example, the Nicaragua canal. could not under that rule get the floor if the speaker were refractory. The speaker, under the Reed rules, is the house of rep resentatives. But the new speaker will not act independently, as MT. Reed did. He ministration, and thus 1t comes about that the house is practically abolished and gov ernment will hereafter be carried on by the White House and the senate.

STOPPED IN SEVENTH
AUSTRALIAN JIMMY RYAN KNOCK
ED oUT BY JOE CRoYNSI<I IN
NEW YORK
RYAN WAS NEVER IN LEAD

His Previous Showing With Choyn-
ski Led some to Wager Even
Money That the Australian Would
Be on His Feet at the Expiration
of the Twentieth ROund-Choyn-
ski Was Not Even Distressed.
NEW YORK, Oct 2O.-Joe Choynski, Of
California, whipped Jimmy Ryan, OF
Australia in the seventh round of their
light tonight at the Broadway Athletic
club. Choynski was far the cleverer, and
the result was expected. Ryan was out
pointed from the first tap of the gong.
and when the knockout came Choynski
was as fresh as when he began the fight.
Ryan's previous showing with Choynskl,
with whom he spared twenty ROUNDS
made some people bet even money that
Ryan would stay the limit this time But
The even money they bet was badly vast
ed. as Ryan never had possible sho"
when it came TO hard work
In the opening round Choynsh kept
forcing with the left on the face, and
RYAN remained on the defensive through
on the face.
Chovnsh kept jabbing in the second
and got his right over three times, twice
to the eye, and once to the mouth. Ryan
tried to do something at close quarter.
but Choynsh blocked every lead. The
thru round was simply a repetition of
the second.
Ryan opened the fourth with rush,
sending right swing to jaw. He then
trie,I a left TO the body. but Joe straight
ened hin. UP with a hard left on the face.
RYAN did some clever lodging, but his
attempts to land were Intellectual. Ihls
was also Choynsh's round.
In the fifth Ryan swung mis- right to the
ribs but after that he did not land
clean punch. while Joe kept up con-
tiuuous jabbing of let's on the face
RYAN began with a straight left in the
face in the sixth, and they exchanged left
swings on the head. Joe jabbed left to
the mouth and nose, drawing a little
blood. Ryan fought gamely, but his face
was badly battered when he returned to
his corner.
They mixed it up readily in the seventh,
but ChoynsM soon sent his opponent to
the floor with a right on the jaw. Ryan
got up inside the limit, but went down
again from another right on the mark
After revivtng from this blow Ryan saved
himself from being counted out by a
clean margin, but when he regained his
feet he was so groggy that there was no
possible chance of his fighting any longer
Choynsk went TO him without a second
delay, and swung his right once more to
the mark, and Ryan went down on his
hands and knees. He lay in that posi-
ton as il he were paralyzed. The referee
counted the Australian out, and declared
Choynski the winner. Time of round,
