wise men or designing men who are posing before the people. It is the convention's duty to take all the time 1t needs to deliberate fully on import ant matters, and the public will not tire of strong discussion by men ca pable of eniightening and instructins. The Kentucky Convention lasted over nine months. There is no reason why this body should not sit three months, IF that period Is necessary for the rull discussion and formulation by the competent men in it of the essential parts of a good Constitution.

The Ledger thought once 1t would dis cuss the speech for the benefit of its read CTS. It pondered over those words telling how sinful and awful it is to have fraud in elections and thought they might be useful. but then came the memory that Colonel Herbert was several times elected to Congress- from the Montgomery district and some one might ask hard questions.- Birmingham Ledger.
 Of one thing The Ledger may rest assured. and that Is that Colonel Her bert was never the beneficiary of a fraudulent election to Congress from this district. There was never an cleo tion in which he was candidate that he did not receive a clear and undis- puted majority of the votes cast.

You Kissed Me.

 You kissed me! my head Dropped low on your breast With q feeling of shelter And infinite rest. while the holy emotion My tongue dare not speak Flashed up in flame From my heart to my cheek. Your arms held me fast: on! your arms were so bold; Heart beat against heart
 In their passionate fold 2. Tour giances seemed drawing My soul Through my eyes AS the sun draws the mist From the sea to the skies. Your lips clung to mine
 Till I prayed in my bliss They might never unclasp
 From the rapturous kiss. You kissed mel my heart. In delirious joy
 For moment stood still Life had for me then
 No temptations. no charmA No visions of happiness
 Outside of your arms. And were this instant
 An angel possessed Of the peace and the joy
 That are given the blest. would fling my white robes Unrepiningly down. would tear from my forehead Its beautiful crown. To nestle once more
 In that heaven of rest Your lips upon mine,
 My head on your breast. You kissed me! my soul
 In bliss so divine.
 Foolish with wine; Reeled and swooned like a drunken man And I thought 'twere delicious To die there. if death Would but come while my lips Were yet moist with your breath; If might grow cold
 While your arms clasp me round Tn their passionate fold.
 And these are the questions I ask day and night:
 Must lips taste no more Such exquisite delight?
 Would you care If your breast Were my shelter as then,
 And if you were here Would you kiss me agains

There Is more mel ody to me in the rich. deep mouthed paying of pack of hounds as they open up on the trail of the wary fox than in any sort of music unless 1t is that of the violin. There is more gen. uine pleasure to follow the noble bird dog on the trail of the aristocratic bob white and the thrill which goes through your whole being when they rise in covey with a mighty roar, is greater than that which pervadss the hollow hearts Of wine flushed revelers around a banquet table"

DON'T STAND BACK.

The Decatur vitascope shies it's cas- tor into the ring on the subject of electing Railroad Commissioners by the people, which 1t favors, by the way. Quoth The vitascope:
 We do not hesitate in saying we believe The Advertiser to be on the wrong track this time It is patent fact-we might say a notorious fact-that the Railroad Commission of Alabama has for years been a kind of useless nth wheel Tn the States machinery. more in the way than anything else. for 1t was not even or namentaI The Advertiser will have to advance more potent reasons than the ones quoted before 1t can convince the people that there ought not to be change in the manner of selecting our Railroad Commissioners Fact is. 1T It were not for Grandma's frilled cap and the respect in which we hold ner' we would feel tempted to exclaim, f1e. ne won should be ashamed of yourself Grandma"
 Don't let the drilled cap" hold you back, but say what you think. The Advertiser is not too old to take care of itself, and it has nothing to De asnam ed of in it's position on this suo- feet, It is thoroughly and irrevocaby opposed to having the railroads go into politics in every county In the state and use their immense power to elect men who will take care, of their in- terests. The Vitascope may have its own opinion as to the usefulness or otherwise of the Commission, but we are certainly unable to see how the people could be benehtted by a Com missioner elected and controlled by the railroads and their influence. That Is where we fail to catch on.

AN ARROGANT CORPORATION.


 A great deal has been said and writ ten on the subject of corporations and trusts. but there is no doubt that there are times and occasions when there should be some power somewhere to prevent corporation from outraging right and justice and grinding the peo- p,e. That the adjective "soulless5 is sometimes properly applied Is evidehced by the action of the ice companies of Topeka. Kan, which has control of all the ice Of the city. The present condi- tion Q: affairs is thus alluded by The State Journal:
 Heretofore people could take nickel or a dime and purchase ice when it was sorely needed. This cannot be now done in the City of Topeka directly from the comfany, nor indirectly from others. The ice company prevents any of its larger customers from selling smaller lots, and will not sell direct.
 Naturally the City Council thought this an imposition. as well as an in toierable hardship on the people, and thought of applying a remedy, where upon the Superintendent of the com pany made this statement:
 If the city regulates our prices we will ship our entire product out of the city. We are here in the interests of our com pany.
 The brutal arrogance of that state ment is not often exceeded, and the city government or the people ought to take immediate measures to supercede that combination and provide the peo- pie with ice. Topeka is good large city, and if its municipal authorities have no power to protect the citizens from extortion the citizens themselves might establish an ice company which would speedily put the present one out of business. It is just such intoler- ancAs end, Indifference to the wants and needs of the people as this company displays which furnishes arguments for those who argue in favor of municipal ownership of all public utilities. It must be admitted that this case is a strong link in their contention.

NANCY IoHNsoNs CABIN.

Exposition.

On the south bank Of the lagoon
sl1irting the government building ac-
tive work is being done on the ten
acres of ground allotted to the Six
Nation exhibit, says the Buffalo EN-
press. At present there are three
Seneca Indians from the Tonawanda
reservation working on the old log
house which is to shelter Nancy John
son, herself one of the most remark
able and interesting features of the
Indian exhibit. Nancy johnson is a
Seneca squaw who has reached the
age Of 1870 years For the last 100 years
She has been a resident of the TUna-
wanda reservation, and has lived in
the little log house which is now be
ing put up ON the exposition grounds.
One of the conditions upon which Mrs.
johnson consented to appear at the
exposition was that suitable provision
should be made for her shelter. Then
It was that the idea of Transporting
her cabin to the grounds was con-

after the revolutionary war, and it is
estimated that the timbers in 1t were

ago. The sidewalks are composed of
huge, roughly cut logs of red beech,
and the roof is matched with elm

oHuRcH NOTES

The subject for next Sabbath
morning is, "No Uncertain Sound, :"
and for the evening, "Is The Bible
True?" This will be the second in
the series of christian evidences.
The latent inddelity of the day calls
for a study of the foundations of
the christian faith. This series, it
is believed, will not only strengthen
our faith, but also give us truth 10
oppose the sin of unbelief
Next Sabbath the pastor will be.
gin an exposition Of the gospel ac-
cordiug to ST. Mark, to his Sabbath
school class 1t his belief, that a
connected study of the life of Christ t
will be "A great benefit to all who at.

CATION are most cordially invited to
attend the class exercies.
A free discussion is not only al
lowed but invited. There is no SER
vice of the church where the diff
culties and doubts that trouble us
can be so freely discussed as they
can in the Sabbath school class.
Next Monday night the singing
class will resume its work in note
drill. 1t is still our belief that in
dependent singing has its founda-
ton in the ability of the singer TO
read notes. We shall look next
Monday night for those mem bers
of the class who could not take up
the cantata. Next time we take up
advanced music we hope thata larg-
er number will be able to do the
work and receive the benefit.
The Cantata was a success, con
sidering the severe colds against we
contended. The proceeds are as fol.
lows, received from tickets sold,
1923. 80, from receipts at door, 1890,
total, $3.50 We wish to give our
personal thanks to all who have
given their services. The wish has
been expressed by several that this
be not the last. Unless some un-
known event changes our minds
this is but the beginning.

OUR STREETS

Ever since Milford became a Bor-
ough, and for many years before for
that matter, considerable sums have
been annually spent on the streets.
Travel has doubtless somewhat in
creased, but there is probably little
more hauling of heavy loads now
than twenty or more years ago when
lumber and ties were carted
1t cannot be said that the princi-
pal thoroughfares have been per-
manently improved IN all this time.
From year to year the money has
been spent, we will assume honest
ly, not judiciously, and each re.cur-
ring season has demanded an equal
outlay to keep the streets in at least
as good condition as they were the
previous syear. Some say certain
parts of them have grown worse.
Such methods of road making can
not be commended as either sensible
or economical. There should be a
permanent Improvement, other
things being equal, so that in time
the town might have we'll paved
streets. The annual graveling pro-
cess has clearly demonstrated itself
to be a failure, usually nothing more
than dust in summer and mud in
fall and winter, and why this mon
otonous repetition has gone on with
successive councils it is difficult to
understand Had a beginning been
made say twenty years ago, by re-
moving the dirt to the depth of a
foot and from twelve to sixteen feet
in width and the excavation filled
with stone with ADDRESSING of broken
stone on top, we might now have
the two main streets in a perman-
emily good condition. There is little
more than a mile of them and sup
pose it would cost 4 to IS, 900 mile,
we have in that time probably ex-
appended much more than double that
sum and are really no better off
than when we begun Ii only a
small section was taken each year
and properly done the end would in
time be attained without any addi-
tional annual sum. Permanency is
the only economical method of road
building, and that method ought to
inaugurated on our streets.
