It will thus be seen that there is a shekel well as strictly ethical side to the case. While MT. Sheldon is attending to the ethics, the business manager will look closely after the shekeis.

Smallpox Situation.

Not state and scarcely not a town can throw stones at another in the matter of smallpox. It spreads in all states, and in nearly all towns. It is particularly plenti- full in the one-room cabins of the negroes in the south and if President Booker Washington's campaign in favor of three room cottages could be carried into general operation more would be accomplished in the suppression of smallpox and other dis eases than can be accomplished in any other way. The one-room cabin is a con- stant source of danger, an always present obstacle to quick suppression of any dis ease. The one-room cabin would render bubonic plague almost as ineradicaole as it is in the Orient or in South American towns; for the crowded quarters in all of them are very much alike. The one-room cabin is type of all
 Birmingham cannot be stampeded by smallpox. It has been here before It knows that vaccination can stamp out the disease, and that while the stampng-out process Is going on any one can secure i'm munity by accepting vaccination. The needle of the physician disarms the disease to very great extent It reduces its dan- gers below those of the universal "colds" of this climate. The hospital on Red mountain has become the enforced home of patients in this section of the state, and the numbers there do not represent the state of the disease fin this city. These numbers vastly over-represent the city and county. There is no occasion for alarm, but if any one is at all alarmed let him or her go at once to the nearest physician who has vaccination needle. That needle unnecessarily accumulated.

THE ONLY DAILY nrWspApsa IN ALABAMA
Roberts Unconstitutional Exclusion.

Congressman Underwoods vote on the Roberts case will. on reflection. be en- dorsed by every intelligent and thoughtful man. While he thought that Mr Roberts should be expelled from the house. and would have so voted. yet he did not think the case was so imperative as to demand rape of the constitution. The right of representationwas trampled under foot in answer to a sentimental demand that real ly had very little basis. MT. Roberts shows abandoned plural-marriage system is now confined to 1543 families, decrease of 90S since 1890 The headsof the remaining fam flies are well advanced in years. and the system will soon be- memory or history only.
 The recent furry was promoted util- ized by the republican party in the hope of winning votes in presidential year, and they have set a precedent that may prove very dangerous in some troublous year in >fhe future. Utah is now wholly unrepre- SSHttd III lut loWeF uouSe dnu II 1 ldH tdlA be deprived of representation in answer to wave of hot and poorly grounded senti- ment, why may not Alabama be if she in- dulges in the lynching habit. or adopts a suffrage that is not approved by Tom, Dick and Harry in other states? MT. Un- derwood and Mir. Bankhead proposed to proceed against MT. Roberts in the man. ner named in the constitution. They saw no reason why that instrument should be wrenched in the Utah case, and they were wholly in the right, and so were the sixty nine other democrats, eight republicans and two populists who voted to first seat and then to expel MT. Roberts. The mi nority had in this matter the right of the question, and the brave and capable fight they made will take some of the danger out of the issue that the majority had for campaign purposes prepared. The consti- tuition is rarely respected by the republ- cans when it stands in the way during election contests. or for that matter at any other time.

JOHNSrON'S PURPOSE
From the wetumpka Herald.

From the Wetumpka Herald.
 Governor Johnston does not really wish to get the populsts and democrats togeth- CT permanently. He wants the populists to come into the democratic primaries for one and only one purpose, which is to vote for and to send him to the United States senate. He is reported to have addressed the populists in one of his Crenshaw speeches as follows:
 T am not asking you to come back into the democratic party, but merely to ex- ercise your right and cast vote for your choice for United States senator. It has been stated that pledges were required for you to participate in the primary. This am authorized to state is not true. I want you to go in and take your chance.'
 Now, will some of our populist friends tell us what benefit is to accrue to them if they come into the party just long enough to vote for Joe Johnston? We want ito see the white people united, and we want every populist in the state to come into the democratic party whether he be for Johnston, Morgan, Oates or Roque- more. We want you in the democratic party because we want to see the white people united. Why does Joe Johnston want you there? Simply and solely that you may vote for him for the United States senate. after which you may go to the devil for what he cares. You are to come in, according to Johnston. and cast a vote for your choice for United States sen- ator, and then slide out again and go to thunder. Well populists friends, we don't want you for any such purpose. The doors of the democratic party are open to you, and if you come into the party you are invited not only to "vote for United States senator" but to compete for office on1 an equal footing with any other democrat The democratic party don't want to use you and then cast you aside. You are well come into the democratic party and when you do this you are one of us and are en- titled to all and the same rights and priv ileges accorded any other democrat.

Campaigning in Crenshaw.

News comes,'' says the Court Journal, from Crenshaw that the county is being flooded with Morgan voters who are track ing after the congressional and other speakers and addressing anybody and everybody's meetings" This Is inexpress- ibly sad, as well as truly dlsloyaI. What right has a Morgan speaker to answer an anti Morgan mssta atement, or an aledged anti Morgan argument, It is lese majeste, to say the least
 It was persistent campaigning of this sort that angered the anti Morgan speak CTS in Clarke county to such an extent that the county went-not for Governor Kent-but for John Tyler Morgan and the Nicaragua canal. The Morgan speakers "took advantage of the governor" This, too, is very sad but it is one of those in- cidents in campaigning that will occur even if the opposition be angered thereat
 The Age-He-ald sees but one way out of the mudde-the anti-Morgan speakers from the chief down to Spellbnder Bran 'oi SHo"i" p'l d S'ip oh theH eeAipoA9 until they are able to stand refuta tions of any ungrounded matters that they may have presented. It Is useless to ask them to cease issuing unfounded statements and logic; they will do it; and when such statements and so-called logic are upset by the persistent Morgan campaigners they should curb their angry feelings at least to the point of public suppression. All dates and places are common property, and the campaigners respect only the dates and places of their own side. They are not "out" for the purpose of furthering the plans of the enemy.

OUR LOVELY TARIFF

From the Springfield Republican.
 The borax trust is selling its product to Americans at TX cents a pound. and to Europeans at 3h cents. It is enabled ito do this by a tariff of five cents pound. The steel and wire trust is selling barb wire to Americans, who have kindly pro- vtded 1t with protective tariff for this purpose, at s413 hundred pounds, to Ca nadians at 1925 and to Europeans at $2.20. And if there exists a tariff-protected trust which is not employing it's shelter behind the customs wall in similar ways, it has not made itself known.

Christian from date line to the foot of the last page the infer enee being that il Is now heather from date line to the foot of the last page. The esteemed Capital, inspired perhaps from it's business office. seems to welcome -the transltory change It seems to think the six-days effort of the Rev. MT. Sheldon will revolutlonlze journalism. As long as 1t leaves plain everyday newspapers un- touched. no one will much care what it does to journalism.
 The Rev. MT. Sheldon arose in Topeka. He preached Tn His Steps" on the in- stallment plan to his Sunday evening con- gregations of unbaked youths and sweet accompanying lassies. They liked it, and their acceptance of 1t led an astonished world to buy millions of copies, thus swell ing the copyright nearly up to the Ben Hur high-water mark. This is all very good and very possible; but when an at tempt is made to put sermons and a book into days story of events. mostly pro- fana, that is another matter. When Editor Sheldon succeeds in his new task, he should be crowned with laurels, but the laurels should be permitted to season trfe until he does snatch success from adverse cir cumstances and a scoffine world

THE ADMINISTRATION AND ROBERTS

From the Washington Times.
 Alter Representative Littlefed, Nelson Dingley's successor, had leaped suddenly into fame yesterday by his masterly pre- senta ton of the minority contention to the Roberts case, General Charles H. Gros- vencr, the administrations mout1pieee, felt called upon to move around among tie members and attempt to belittle the Maine man $ great argument by cnaracterizing It as .ali sound and fury slgnifying noth- E." The Ohioan was quick to see that Nj. Lltsieieids s speech was producing that rarest of al effects in congress-changing g the min9es of men from the prejudgment of the case. When the ''mouthpiece' en- countered one republican colleague from Ohio he was made to realize that he was doing MT. Mckinley a great injustice by his excess of zeal. "Grosvenor,' said this member, sharply, "I am going to the White House and ask the president if he has Instructed you to commit the party against according Roberts his constitutional rights. I don't believe MT. Mckinley is taking any part against Roberts, and fur thermore I believe when the president reads Littlefield's great speech he will be in favor of seating Roberts, whatever was lis view of the case before and then will approve of the houses privilege to expel Roberts. But even if the president should tell me that he had instructed you to act as you have acted all through this case l should not fellow you in your course. You ought to realize that your attitude is calculated to injure the president, and ii he doesn't view it that way I am going to try to convince him of your error. If you don't act more prudently Mir. Mckinley may think it wise to get a new spokesman in the house." This plain talk, it is said took General Grosvenor by surprise and he was able only to stammer something about "acting on his own responsibility"

ON "0NE RUN" FOR 47YEARs

From Leslie's Weekly.
 It takes an al-around man to be a good locomotive engineer. No calling or Trofes- sion requires a clearer brain, stouter heart and a steadier hand. That William H. Gordon, of East Millstone, N J., pos sesses these qualities in an eminent degree Is evident from the fact that he has been in continuous and uninterrupted service q a railroad engineer for fifty-four years.
 More remarkable still Is the fact that forty-seven of thesa years have been spent on what is known in railway parlance as "one run that between Jersey City and Millstone. MT. Gordon began his railway life in May 1915, as a fireman on the Cam den and Amboy road. A year later he be- came the engineer of the famous Johnny Bul'' on this line where he remained until 1S47. In 1855 he came to his present post of duty, and has been there ever since. In all these years he has never had a serious ac- cdent and has never hurt passenger. MT Gordon recently celebrated his 10th birthday, when he received the greetings or many friends and well-wishers. Except when he reads very fine print he is not obliged to wear glasses, and his hand at the throttle is as firm and steady as ever.
