NOT OUR JOHN T.

the headline Death Of John T. Nor

Simultaneous shock: but the dead man was
a foreman in the navy yard and Federal

Happily the great Alabama Senator Is
enjoying excellent health, though he COM
plains of a slight. caugh and admits he
is no longer strong enough to make stump
speeches. Occasionally he does me the
honor to receive me in his house, in John
Marshall Place. near the capitol, and l
find him in wonderful good spirits, ever
delighted to speak in anfectionate praise
of the people of Alabama, whom he de-
clares to be the best people on earth. 4"
The Senator Is as hard at work now as
he was when he entered the Senate
twenty-five years ago. He still devotes
much of his time to the problem of an
isthmian canal, which he believes will be
actively undertaken before a great while.

Speed is Costly.
Boston Globe.

BOSTON GIoDe.
They tell great things about the speed
of the ocean greyhounds, but omit to say
that speed costs as does every other lux
ury. They expect to drive the Kaiser WILL

power to do 1t, whereas 1900 horse power
will drive the Cedric. the largest ship in
the world seventeen knots.
Every additional pound OF steam means
more coal more hands, and more ex-
pense in every direction. until the In
crease of speed is soon forbidden by the
increased costs.
An attempt to drive either a ship or a
man too fast soon costs more than 1t is
worth. WHY not take il easy?

In Liberal Doses.

The Clipper will give the Legislature
advice in liberal doses from now until
1t has finished its session. The fact that
1t will not be needed will not lessen the
fun Of giving advice. And newspapers
are not alone in taking pleasure in giving
free advice; all typical Americans like to
give advice on public matters. almost

Music for the Soldiers.

Corbin urges the teaching Of vocal
music to soldiers. That's right. An
army marching on the enemy and sing
ing at the highest pitch of voice would
be demoralizing to the enemy to say the
least. Those who we're not utterly
our army would catch 'em before they
knew it.-Dothan Siftings.
Corbin has evidently been reading about
the days of Cromwell, when the Round
heads went into battle singing psalms.
But an army singing "A Hot Time" as
they charge the foe would be q new kind
of picnic

Ready and Willing.

1NtW5.
The mill owners are ready and willing
to buy child labor, and there are, sad
to say, many parents who want to sell
the labor of children's hands, even though
it endangers the lives of the children,
prohibits them from acquiring education
and blights their prospects for life. The
factories of the South are crowded with
white children, growing up in ignorance,
and the negro schools are filled with
woody pates gaining the rudiments of ed
ucation.
Our Legislature should act promptly on
measure for the protection of the white
children of the South

PAYNE's PERFORMANCE.

Stout Republicans in Washington are
roundly denouncing Representative Payne
Of New York, for maintaining what they
call the dos-in-the-manger attitude to-
ward his colleague, Mr.. Sherman, in re-
spect to the Speakership. Mr.. Payne
seems to be unwilling or afraid TO make
an open fight for the Speakershp, but
declares that he will become an active
candidate IL Mr.. Sherman decides to can
vass for the honor. Mr.. Sherman Is said
to be about the best parliamentarian in
the House. Mr.. rayne, who has been
twice as long In Congress. and is many
years Mr.. Shorman's senior, seems to he

AS TO MINORITY.

Little attention has been paid so far
to the question of minority leadership in
the next House. Presumably Mr.. Rich
ardson of Tennessee, will again be a
candidate, but 1t seems certain that he
will encounter strong opposition. The
Democratic protests against his, poor lead
ership during the last session almost
reached the point of open resentment at
times In a Democratic House 1t Is
scarcely possible that he could be elected

son appears to be lack of confidence in
him on the part of his Democratic asso-
ciates; many of them don't believe In
him, don't trust him. While 1t would
be inadvisable and improper to repeat
things heard concerning him. 1t remains
true that his leadership 10 not satisfac-
tory to many of those whom he was
chosen to lead in dealing with party ques-
tons coming UP in the House.
The trouble with the general situa ton
Is, the Democratic side of the House Is
lamentably short of men who possess the
qualities necessary for successful parh-
amentary leadership. In this particular
there IL not a man of noticably high rank
in the whole opposition. Since Carlisle
was Speaker. the Democratic side OF the
House has steadily deterioriated in re-
spect to men fitted to lead, either In par
liamentary warfare or in mere debate

make speeches. but who work successfully

lican side. There is a plenty Of men who
